EXPECT MORE DISCLOSURES Officials Believe That Indians Will Benefit from the Light Shed on Their Affairs. McAlester, Okla., Aug. 7. — That a new era of wholesome legislation by Congress has dawned for the Indians as a result of the Congressional investigation into the McMurray contracts is the belief among Senators, Representatives and other gov ernment officials assembled here- The committee appointed by the House of Representatives and headed by Repre sentative Charles 11. Burke, of South Da kota, to inquire into the charges of Sen ator Thomas P. Gore, that he had been offered a $25,000 or $50,000 bribe to help put the McMurray deal through Congress, arrived here to-day from Muskogee. and to-morrow will continue its hearings. Mi loaf IT is the home town of J. W. McMurray. the attorney who with others holds the contracts. It is expected that more light will be thrown on Senator Gore's assertion that the sale is contem plated for $30,000,000 to a New York syn dicate of 450,000 acres of coal and asphalt land now owned by the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians, from whom JlcMur ray secured contracts that would allow him 10 per cent attorney's fees, or $3,000. 000. Also, more evidence is believed to be forthcoming concerning "Jake" L. Hamon. who is charged by Senator Gore with having offered the bribe to secure the approval of the contracts by Con gress. Expect More Disclosures. The testimony given by Representative C. E. Creager. of Oklahoma, that Hamon called him to a hotel in Washington and there "suggested" he might obtain an in terest in the contracts If opposition were removed, together with the Gore charges, is- not believed to be. the end of the dis closures. Mr. Creasefa testimony was regarded as supptemi ataxy to that of the Gore charges. Hamon. who entered a denial of all the charges made by Mr. Creager, Senator Gore, D. F. Gore, the Senator's brother, and J. L. Thompson, the Senator's secre tary, has been an Interested auditor at all the session?. Congressman Bird McGuire., of Oklahoma, and Senator Charles Curtis, of Kansas, each named by Mr. Gore as having been the men mentioned by Hamon as being "interested" in the land deal, have Senator Curtis denied having any relation with Hamon. Mr. McGuire. who testified concerning meeting Hamon in Washington, and who. in response to questioning, de nied he had ever been "improperly ap proached" in relation jo the McMurray contracts, told the committee he was ready to reappear at any time. The Dame of Vioe-Presldent Sherman, who, according to Senator Gore, was men tioned by Hamon ns the man "higher up," has been eliminated from the investigation, bo far a? Senator Gore la concerned. The Senator said he had no object in mention sherman's name other than tc re all that Hair on had said to him. Since ftfcMurray also ha? been charged or. the stand witJi having offered a $25,000 bribe to a Choctaw delegate to Washington bo wi; sition to old contracts that were substantially disapproved by President Etoosevelt in L9OB. it is believed McMurray ■■ ill be called to testify. What are known as the MrMurray contracts consist of about ten tnousar.d documents secured individually with the Indians. The story told on the stand by Green Mc- Cnrtain, chief of the eighteen thousand Choctaws. and a venerable fighter of pio neer days, made a deep impression. Mc- Cartaln relat-d how his tribe year after year had waited for the government to sell their lands, and how at last the Indians, ing discouraged, had become the prey of attorneys, whose promises were more glowing than those of the government. It cost his tribe in the last ten years, Mc- Curtain related, (300,000 in attorney's fees, beside? a share In the (750.000 fee paid to the McMurray firm several years ago in the citizenship cases involving the Choctaws and <"■-•:!' kasaws. Congressman J. H. Stephens, of Texas, a member of ■; c present investigating com mittee, in a speech in Congress referred to the |750,000 fee as "a scandal." and assert ed that attorneys should have been made to pay back the money. "It is evident that the whole Indian sit ■ ■ oeeda to be rone over by the gov ernment." said an official to-day. "The Indians are the wards of the government; yet they have become the prey of attor i-v.r instance, one attorney received j- ■..., a year for representing one tribe, and ddee in New York. "In instance? only where the interests of the government and tho.^e of the Indians conflict should attorneys be employed. As far as the sale of the land is concerned, the government itself, by treaty, has agreed to di pose cf The land and give the pro ceed- to the Indians. The- evidence that has developed certainly will enlighten Con gress on what ought to be done " EX-GOVERNOR' FOLK HURT Chauffeur Ditches Automobile to Save It from Turning Turtle.

UTEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, BfOSTDAT, ArGI'ST 8. 1910 MORE TALK FROM CORBEH Declares That Qualey Suggested Buying of Bonds to Mrs. Bull. TOO SLOW, SAYS SHE SAID Will Make Effort to Put Mag nesia-Asbestos Company on Dividend Paying Basis. Following the exclusive interview given by him to The Tribune for yesterday's paper. Harvey W. t'orbett. who is code- Eendant with John A. Qualey again;: Mrs. William T. Bull'? charges that P6.000 was taken from hor by improper methods for Hrveatment in duaiey's MagneFia-Apbe>tos Oampany. added some further points of in terest to his story last night. "I would like to add a little." he said, "to what I told The Tribune lost night about Mr?. Bull's investment in the stock of the Magnesia-AsbeFtos company. When Mrs. Bull Brat consulted Mr. yualey it was about her business affairs in general. She told him that she was having trouble with her coexecutor of her husband's estate, George W. Young, and she wanted Mr. Qualey's advice on how to invest about $50,000 she had. "Mr. Qualey did not at once seek her money for the magnesia company. He told her that the bond market was in good con dition and advised her to put her money in bonds. Mrs. Bull didn't want to do that because the returns would not be large enough or quick enough. It was only after that that Mr. Qualey advised her to invest in the magnesia company." "Did you ever go to Newport yourself ,tc see Mrs. Bull, Mr. Corbett?" Never Been in Newport. 'It so happens." Mr. Corbett replied, "that I have never been in Newport in my life. I have Dassed through Rhode Island and I was in Providence once, but I have never been in Newport." "How was it, Mr. Corbett, that you were in prison so long before being bailed out? Why weren't your friends a little quicker about coming to your aid?" "My friends came to me at once," he said. "They wanted to bail me out just as soon as they knew that J was in prison. But I said to them that I could not go free unless Mr. Qualey did also. I told my wife and I told my friends that if Qualey were guilty I was, too. And I said that if I were guilty, if I had been bamboozling peo ple out of their money, I was right where I belonged, behind the bars, and I wanted to stay there." "When this affair is over what do you in tend to do about the Magnesia-Asbestos Company?" "Why." Mr. Corbett said, "I am going right along with the company. I've got to do it. The only way that I can prove that I am right and that this company is an honest one is to make it a success. And that is what I am going to do." "There have been some charges made that Alan A. Ryan is in a conspiracy with Mrs. Bull to get control of the company. What do you think about that?" 'I don't think those charges should have been made," Mr. Corbett said. "Mr. Ryan was asked to look into our company by an attorney, and he made a trip over to the Newark plant. I never understood that he was asked by Mrs. Bull to do so, or that he did it for Mr?. Bull. After his visit to the plant he wanted some more information from Mr. Qualey. and it was just a chance that Qualey was telephoning to Mr. Ryan when he was arrested. But lam sure Mr. Ryan had nothing to do with the arrest, and I have never thought there was any conspiracy." Mrs. Bull Witness Again To-day. Mrs. Bull will again be a witness before Magistrate Krotel, in the Harlem police court, at 3 o'clock to-day in the hearing of the charges against Qualey and Corbett. She is still subject to Mr. Melntyre's cross examination. After her testimony is in It is understood that the prosecution will put Leo Kresper and several other witnesses on the stand to show how they were induced to buy stock in the Magnesia- Asbestos Com pany. Witnesses will also be brought for ward, it is understood, to testify as to the value of the Newark plant. The prosecution feels sure that Qualey and Corbett will be held for the grand jury. The District Attorneys office has already made its plans for the grand jury hearing, and this is expected to take pltice this week. Mrs. Bull has had a long conference with Assistant District Attorneys Rice and Perkins, and several other witnesses have been examined in the District Attorney's office. CANVASSINGJFOR_HOTCHKISS Superintendent's Friends Active in Governorship Race. Friends of Superintendent Hotchkis? of the Insurance Department have started an informal canvass of the state in the hope of persuading the leaders that he would be the strongest possible candidate that the Republicans could name for Gov ernor this fall. They are saying that he is the man above all others that Governor Hughes would like to see to succed him, and that this fact would do more than any thing else to arouse the interest of the Hughes Republicans, many of whom are more or less disgruntled at the way in which some of the leaders opposed the Governor last winter. Although Superintendent Hotchkiss has not formally announced himself as a can didate for the nomination, his friends say that he would be willing to undertake the leadership of the party this fall if he could feel that the leaders were back of him. If the canvass now being made indicates that any considerable number of the leaders look with favor on Mr. Hotchkiss, it is un derstood that his candidacy will be for mally announced within a short time. The fact that Superintendent Hotchkiss bad luncheon in the city this week with Col lector L.oe.b and Naval Officer Ktacke led to the report that President Taft looked with favor on the suggestion that the superin tendent be the Republican nominee for Gov ernor in New York State this fall. Fol lowing this luncheon. Collector Loeb went on an automobile trip up state, meeting Lou F. Payne and other leaders, and it was reported that the Collector's mission was to learn the feeling toward Superin tendent Hotchkiss, as well as others who have been mentioned as possible nonHnees for the governorship.

Eendal. a brakeman on the Long Island Railroad, went home to his family in Jamaica yesterday afternoon, singing songs of thanksgiving. A short time be fore he had been run over by a pas senger train in the railroad yards, Long Island City, but escaped serious injury. Kendal takes the record for his feat. He was one of a drill crew who were shifting empty passenger trains, and was stationed on a car in the centre of the train. While putting on a brake something slipped and he was thrown head first from the platform, falling be tween the bumpers. He struck on his hands, and in some way straightened out face downward between the tracks. Although confused by the fall, he knew his only course was to lie perfectly still. He had time enough to mentally thank his good fortune that the locomotive was hauling instead of shunting the train, and that it had gone on ahead. Then he wondered if any of the low running gear of the new cars would catch him. When the last car rattled over his head trainhands ran to where he was lying. He wanted to walk, but his com rades would not let him, as they thought he might have been injured badly. Sur geon Meischner, of St. John's Hospital, examined him, but beyond small cuts and bruises Kendal was unhurt, so he took the remainder of the day off and went home.

MONTT THINKS TAFT FINE President of Chili Says He Is Splendidly Fitted to Rule. President Montt of Chili and his party reached New York last night aftor a pleas ant visit to Boston and to Beveryl The Chief Executive of Chili was feeling well last night, despite the arduous journey. "President Montt was very much im pressed with Mr. Taft," said Sefior Alberto Yoacham, the Chilian Charge d'Affaires. "He had never met him before, for when President Montt was here twenty years or so ago Mr. Taft was then still in the West and not quite the national figure that he is to-day. "One thing that pleased President Montt very much," he continued, "was that he had the privilege of being received really in President Taffs home. A reception at The White House would, of course, have been a state affair, but at Beverly it was so much more informal that it was just like a simple luncheon anywhere. Every thing on the trip was splendidly managed, thanks largely to Captain Butt and Chand ler Hale, the Third Assistant Secretary of State, who is with us, and President Montt said he enjoyed the trip on the Mayflower immensely. 'At the luncheon he engaged in conver sation with Mr. Taft, who seemed in unusu ally good spirits. President Montt paid afterward that he thought the President of the United States was a man splendidly fitted to occupy his great office. Governor Draper also produced a fine impression." President Montt attended mass in Boston yesterday and took the train for this city about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, arriving here about 7 p. m. He will spend to-day leisurely, and perhaps may leave the Plaza this morning for a trip through the busi ness district and possibly a journey sky ward to the top of one of the tall buildings. He sails to-morrow morning for Europe on board the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse. PINE CAMP THRONGED Roosevelt Expected To-morrow — Airship May Fly To-day. Pine Camp, X. V., Aug.

Ellis, for mer master of the foxhounds of the Mead ow Brook Club. Tho ground for the threatened action, according to Ellis, Is that his brother and nephew forced him into exile and kept him in Ireland all these years because he in terfered with his brother's financial plans. In a public notice published In one of the newspapers of the city. Charles B. Ellis advertises for -a lawyer or syndicate to conduct a suit for J2,000,0w by Charles B.

"Charles B. Ellis, at the end of twenty seven years and eight months, returns in full vigor of mind and body to avenge his inhuman deportation. Mr. Ellis fought for his country in the great war, when his relative remained at home in Inglorious ease to amass wealth and revel in luxury, j which the patriotism of such men as his > brother rendered possible. (syndicate to bear all costs, and take fees for services out of one-half returns." Once Inmate of Asylum. In explanation, Charles B. Ellis said he had been lockedup in an asylum through a conspiracy between his wife and his brother. He got out after nine months. At that time, he says, he was a civil en gineer and had property in Kar.sas. Later he came to New York and sot employment as a civil engineer on tho Union Pacific, but his brother prevented his going to work. Then, he says, he exposed some financial deals! and his brother caused his arrest and Inspector Byrnes gave him the choice of going to jai! or going to Ireland for the rest of his life. "I defied Byrnes." he soya. "The next day I was put aboard the Wy oming, Byrnes going down with me. I was guarded all the way across, and toM that I would receive a remittance of £1 a montb. for my support." In support of his claim that h^ has been ill treated by his brother and nephew, he produces a letter, dated February, 1910, in which Ralph X. Ellis asks him to correct a deed made in March, 1998, conveying to Ralph Ellis the property In Kansas. The letter says with regard to the transfer el the property: "Thos<=, you will remember, you did tn consideration of certain things done then and previously thereto."

He began busi ness in the wholesale drygooda t- Cincinnatl. and in 1563 organized the First National Bank of Cincinnati. In I^9 he came to New York as manager of the Wtnslow, I>anier & Co. bank.

He retired from business in IStt General Grant invited Mr. Ellis to become Secretary of the Treasury, but the banker declined the office. Suit Absurd, Says Son. John W. Ellis could not be seen yester day, but his son, Ralph N. Ellis, was at his home, in Wheatley Hills. Long Island. When asked about the claim made upon his father and himself, he said it was too ridiculous to be dignified by a denial. "The man is a half-brother of my father." he said. "Ke is a very brilliant man in some respects, but he has been, and I dare say he is again, insane. His story proves itself absurd on the face of it. A civil engi neer cannot be thrown into an insane asy lum and kept there nine months in this coun try. Neither can he be exiled against his will. My father did pay him a pension for some yeor& That part of the story i.s true It is also true that he threatened my father. His letters are still in existence. I believe he was arrested at the time and left the country, but it b ridiculous to say that my father caused him to be kidnapped. He perfected some inventions wh : !e he was abroad, and he lived on the proceeds, as I understand it. "When I wrote him to perfect the deed by which he had released his Kansas property to me. I did not ask him to give me anything, as he had already received full consideration for the property. The publicity is very unpleasant for us. but the very fact that he has to advertise to try to find a lawyer to take the suit shows that there is no ground for such action. Otherwise he would, ere this, have found a lawyer who would have brought suit. I do not core to discuss the matter at any length, for I believe the unfortunate man is not mentally responsible." Mr. Ellis said neither he nor his father had had any knowledge of the presence In this country of Charles B. Ellis. Tbe guardian of the.r city houaa, however, said that a man answering the description of the claimant had called two or three times. See the Man-Birds Fly!

""' in or ont of the water. It -^ou'.d certainly 6e a shame to make the arr*st in that casi, as on of Captain Gaivin's beach squad put it yesterday. To avoi<l trouble". Captain Galvin aad Magistrate Voorhees. who holds- court Bflaj Surf avenue, both approve this a.d:nonlUca to unsuspecting slrls cf ■*■■'> ages: "Don't start for Coney Island with aa escort until you are sure he haa a two piece bathing: suit. if he can't afford ta buy one. or rent one. make him one. Otherwise he miv be arrested and yo>j may have to hurry home alone, to get tail." Seven "one-piece suits" fell into the tc!U of the police prior to falling in the wat«r yesterday. Five of them had "lady friends" with them when apprehended, an) they got bail and went home- early. Oat wayward boy was led dripping into th«j po lice station all alone. He telephoned ta Brooklyn for his father, and had jU3t about time to rub down and get dressed in tha improvised rear room bathhouse at •-* station when his parent arrived.

The seventh culprit was an actor, one of the team of Dahm Brothers, acrobats. H« told pathetically how he had once played at Hammerstein's. and "now come to this." His summer residence, was at the Ocean Parkway Hotel, Coney Island, he said, and he thought some of the "bunch over there 1 * would bail him out. He had nothing but the one-piece suit with him at the station. Later his Sunday clothes were brought ■-, him from 11 bathhouse and he put then: on to make a proper appearar.c* before his bondsman. Mr. Dahm was still languish in? in prison at a late hour last night The names which the bathers arrested yesterday gave to the police were as tol lows: Moe Bellman, eighteen years old, af No. 1723 St. Mark's avenue. Brooklyn: Mor ris Mandlowitb, twenty-five, of No. 116 Mgj Kibbon street, Brooklyn: Lawrence Sagona. seventeen, of No. 17 East awJi street.

Coney Island, and Ernest Kinscher. seventeen, Of No. 335 Hit. street. Brooklyn. Captain Galvin had a squad of twenty two uniformed men patrolling the Coney Island beach yesterday looking for objec tionables. They were earnest looking bluecoats, with an eye to the sea and * ready ear for what the wild waves rrAght say. "Come on in. the water's fine," came a voice from the edge of. the rising tid» as Sheridan, of the beach brigade, started to pursue a fleeing one-piec© suit. Thtn the voice and the "decollette" sank hi th» breakers simultaneously. Sheridan fal tered on the edge of the ocean and al lowed he would hang around until th» swimmer swam ashore. "Objectionables" Elude Police. But Coney Island bathers are a loss winded species and remain in the water for hours at a time. For that reason Sheridan's objectionable got away, and undoubtedly many more like him, who scattered off shore like so many pushcart venders at the approach of the police. The thousands on the teach seemed to en joy the shore-to-sea conversation between the officers and the bathers. An arrest ■was the occasion of a great demonstration pro and con. Most of the arrests yesterday were made in Seaside Park, at the fast of West 5t5 street, where eight men were arrested oa Saturday, the day on which the anti-one piece-suit crusade began. Two or three of the offenders were gathered in from ■ front of the bathing- pavilions near lbs Bowery. Warned by the arrests on Sat urday, many bathing house proprietor* yesterday instructed their employes to watch out for the questionable suits and not allow them near the water. Mas! would-be bathers in -he prohibited l-.abili meats were approached by the bath house men. it was said, and had either to rest proper apparel or forego a bath. The eight men arrested Saturday wen arraigned before Magistrate Voorhtaj ia the Coney Island court yesterday. At first they all pleaded not guilty to the technical charge of disorderly conduct made against them. Then the magistrate reprimanded the prisoners severely and said he intend*! to hold them for trial in Special Sessions in every case where the evidence war ranted it. Three of the defendants hur riedly changed their pleas to guilty M* were fined $5 each.
