Witness Declares Vice President
Sherman Was Always Op

[Associated Preasl
SULPHUR, Okla., Aug. 16.—Douglas
H. Johnson, a Chlckasaw Indian, and
chief of the 80,000 members of that
tribe, answered "I do not remember"
before the special congressional in-
vestigating committee today when
asked how it was that he was ahlo to
deposit $75,000 to his personal credit
a few days after J. F. McMurray had
received $750,000 as attorney's fees.
Johnson testified that ho always had
approved of what were known as tho
present McMurray contracts, which
provide for tho tale of $30,000,000 worth
of hinds belonging to the Indians and
which would allow McMurray 10 per
cent or $3,000,000 in foes. He also urged
other Indians to slfe'n them.
"Why was it you were willing- to
give McHurray $750,000 for doing that
for which ha already was paid a sal
ary?" asked Representative C. B. Mil
ler of Minnesota.
"Because we thought he earned it,"
replied Chief Johnson. "Ho kept off
the rolls 3200 claimants to our prop
erty and thus saved us $5000 for each
person so kept off, or a total of $16,000,
--000. I would have been willing to have
paid him 50 per cent or $8,000,000."
INCREASE IN HANK ACCOUNT
"When you became chief or governor
of your tribe, isn't it a fact that your
bank account was only $5000? How,
then, would you be able to deposit
$75,000 Just a short timo after McMur
ray got his (750,000 fee?" he was asked.
Chief Johnson Insisted he did not
remember.
Representative C. D. Carter of Okla
homa was recalled and asked:
"What is your opinion of Vice Pres
ident Sherman in matters pertaining:
to Indian affairs?"
"H • has always shown a deep inter
est in the Indians." Carter replied.
4 "What was his attitude toward large
fees?"
' "Ho was opposed to them."
' It had been asserted In previous tes
timony that Mr, Sherman had emphat
ically expressed his disapproval of
the 10 per cent fee.
Representative C. H. Burke, chair
man of the Investigating committee,
pointed out to the witness that much
of the government's alleged delay in
Belling the land was due to the failure
of the Indians to t.ike, their shares
of allotted land.

FRATERNAL FUNDS
SHOW GREAT GAINS
Insurance Societies' Statistics
Committee Reports As
tounding Figures
PLEADS FOR ADEQUATE RATES
Move on Foot to Merge Two Big
Organizations—slo,ooo,
--000 Represented
DETROIT. Aug. 16.—A plan is on
foot among the delegates to the Na
tional Fraternal congress, in session
here, to merge with the Associated
Fraternities of America, which will
meet In Atlantic City August 22. The
two b.iilics represent total insurance
estimated at $10,000,000. The main dif
ference between them is the matter of
rates, the "adequate rate" and the
"current cost rate."
President Thomas H. Cannon of Chi
cago says that there Is really but lit
tle difference between the two bodies
and that if" an agreement could be
reached on the rate question the merg
er might result.
The, statistics .-eported to the con
gress at the opening today by Chair
man D. P. Markey of the committee on
statistics show an amazing growth of
the benefit funds of the forty-three
societies now in the congress. During
the last decade, as a result of the re
adjustment of rates in accord with
the stand the congress has maintained
in favor of rates adequate to payment
in full of the insurance certificates is
sued, the benefit funds of forty-three
societies with a membership of 2.547,000
have reached a total of $60,295,778. In
1899, with forty-seven societies in the
congress and with a benefit member
ship of 2.493.854, the benefit funds only
totaled $9,165,057.
"In other words, ' Chairman Markey
declared, "while the present member
ship is larger and the protection loss
by more than $1,000,000,000, the funds in
the treasury to safeguard this is six
and a half times us great as It was
ten years ago. This clearly Indicates
the growing tendency on the part of
these associations to get right finan
cially, in other words, to make their
contributions approximate the equiva
lent of their promised benefits.
COMPKTITION GRKAT
"We. appreciate the difficulties that
confront the members: of many of our
societies In the way of meeting com
petition by reason of unequal and un
reasonable propositions offered by com
petitors or rival societies, and this Is
especially true of those associations
that have endeavored to place their
membership upon fen adequate and
equitable basis of contribution. They
have not only to contend with the
commercial companies on the one
hand, with their offers of extended
and paid-up insurance, dividends and
endowments, but on the other hand,
with the fraternal beneficiary societies
which offer what purports to be the
same protection for a comparatively
small monthly contribution.
"These societies lannot remain half
right and half wronrr on the rate ques
tion—and sclve this problem. If part
of them are to be permitted to con
tinue on a wholly inadequate, inequit
able and unjust basis as regards their
own members and the public, while
the other half attempts to work out an
equitable, reasonable and adequate ad
justment of contributions to benefits
promised, there can be no peacs, there
can be no observance of ethic.'i, there
can be no such harmonious co-opera
tion as should exist between the vari
ous associations enlisted in this great
work.
"Your committee wishes to empha
size, first, the necesdty as well as the
justice of adequate rates. There can
be no safety wltho-it them, but impor
tant as they are, there is anotlu-r mat
ter of equal importance. Adequate
rates are necessary, but they alone will
not save or perpetuate any society;
they are only one cf the necessary ele
ments. Co-ordinate with them in im
portance is that of co-operation among
the membership; without this your so
cieties must fail. You cannot com
mercialize them successfully."

Calls Special Convention of
Miners to Order
INDIANAPOLIS, In"d.. Aug. 16.—That
President Walker of Illinois had iied
and International President Lewis had
told untruths was the substance or
Lewis' statement and Walker's reply,
respectively, in the special Internation
al convention of miners today. Lewis,
at the outset, was interrupted, but af
ter rapping the convention to order
and insisting on being heard he was
given close attention.
After reviewing the situation in Il
linois ho defended the calling of the
convention by saying the purpose of
the convention was to fix an assess
ment and to discipline certain rebels
in the order.
The cheers which marked the end
of Lewis' statement were redoubled
when Walker took tho platform The.
Illinois president declared in opening
that he had no ax to grind and would
not he a candidate for international
president. He read a number of let
ters to show that Lewis had evaded
indorsing the strike.
UNION MEN IN SALEM
SHOE FACTORIES STRIKE
SALEM, Mass., Aug. 16.—A strike
of union employes in the Salem shoe
factories was begun today and It is ex
pected that more than 1000 workers
will quit their benches.
The United Shoe Workers of Ameri
ca voted last night to declare a gen
eral strike if a conference today failed
to bring about an adjustment of the
differences between the unions and the
companies. The union demands that
the company reinstate several union
employes alleged to have been locked
out.
GERMAN SHIPWRIGHTS
STRIKE FOR HIGHER PAY
BERLIN, Aug. 13.—As a result of the
fight between German shipbuilders and
their employes, all the shipyards of
Germany except the government works
are now Idle so far as new construction
Is concerned. Ship owners are in many
cases sending their ship 3to England
for repairs.
The men demand an increase of 10
per cent in wages and a'fifty-five-hour
week. The shipbuilders maintain that
these demands are a cloak to political
purposes. The number of men idle is
about 35,000.
BILLHEAD MAY FURNISH
BENIGNUS CRIME CLEW
Police at Abiiene Believe Search
Was Made for Document
ABILENE, Kas., Aug. 16.—What is
regarded aa a significant clew in con
nection with tho supposed murder of
Miss Bertha Benignus hen 1 Sunday was
discovered today. The merchant's bill
upon which the German note
found under her window was written
was taken from a box on the table In
the corner of the girl's room. In this
box she kept receipts and private let
ters.
This is believed to be further evi
dence of murder and to indicate that
the murderer engaged in a thorough
si arch 'if Miss Benignus' effects, prob
ably in an effort to get possession of
some document. It also seems evident
that he was fairly familiar with the
contents of the room. An early arrest
In connection with the murder is a
probability. Two persons are being
kept under surveillance.
OPIUM SEIZURE MAY SHOW
GREAT PLOT TO SWINDLE
XKW YORK, Aug. 16.—United States
custom Inspector! made a seizure of
opium recently in Hobokon, n. ,t.,
which may reveal a plot of magnitude
to swindle the government. Three
its were made and the men wero
charted with having brought in 12
pounds of opium bought In Shanghai.
Congress passed a bill February
which makes it a crime to have opium
without proof of the purchase of an
.authorised physician of the supply.
The penalty is not more than JSOOO or
than a $50 fine, or not [e*s than
two years' imprisonment, or both.

NEW YORK REPUBLICANS
DENY ROOSEVELT HONOR
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—Theodore
Roosevelt suffered a sharp defeat in
hlg home state today when the Re
publican state committee, by a vote of
twenty to fifteen, rejected a resolu
tion naming him as temporary chair
man of the Republican state conven
tion to be held at Saratoga, Septem
ber 27.
Vice President Sherman was unan
imously chosen to act as temporary
presiding officer of the convention.
The "old guard," led by State Chair
man Woodruff and William Barnes, jr.,
of Albany, encompassed the defeat or
Colonel Roosevelt, whom several of
the state leaders charged with at
tempting to dictate the fortunes of the
Republican party in the state. Colonel
Roosevelt could not be seen today, as
he left his office at nn early hour. The
state committee adjourned to meet
Mun lay evening, September 3«. in Sar
atoga.
Among the delegates voting for
Theodore Roosevelt as temporary
chairman were Lloyd C. Griseom,
United States Marshal Henkel, Ap
praiser of Custom* George Wan«
■m ikor. Secretary of State Samuel f*.
Koenlg, Naval Officer F. J. H. Kracke.
Representative William S. Bennett and
Collector of Internal Revenue Charles
W. Anderson.
Opposed to Mr. Roosevelt, among
others: Former Lieutenant Governor
Timothy L. Woodruff, Michael J. Dady,
former Congressman William L. Ward,
Mather R Little, William Barnes, Jr.,
of Albany: former State Commissioner
of Public Works George W. Aldrldge,
Jamea W. Wadsworth, Jr.. speaker of
the state house of representative!, and
Francis Hendrieks, former state com
missioner of Insurance.
B MINIS LEADS OI'I'OSITION
Tho opposition to former President
Roosevelt was led by William Barnes,
Jr., and actively seconded by Speaker
Wadsworth p.nd National Committee
man Ward. Before the delegates were
called to order Mr. Grlsoom called
about him the members of the New
York county committee anil was in
whispered conversation with them for
several minutas. He wan in consulta
tion also with Mr. Barnes and Mr.
Wadaworth, and made known to them
the intention of presenting former
President Roosevelt's name for the
office of temporary chairman of the
convention. Mr. Oriscom was plainly
angered at the rejection of Mr. Roose
velt':; name, and In his manner indi
cated that in his opinion the step taken
would receive the reprobation and cen
tre of every enrolled Republican in
the state.
The fact that a conflict was im
minent between the factions led by
Mr. Griseom and the so-called machine
Republicans lo«l by Chairman Wood
ruff and Mr. Barnes was apparent
long before the meeting waa called to
order. While Mr. Grlscom marshaled
his partisans in one room Chairman
Woodruff held a conference with hia
adherents in another part of the build-
Ing. From the first it was seen that
the advocates of the naming of the
former president were in the minority,
but the original program of presenting
his name waa adhered to "in order,"
Mr. Orlsroin latnr explained, "to put
the attitude of the opposition on rec
ord, that the Republicans of New York
state might know where their repre
sentatives stood as regards the partici
pation of Roosevelt in the political af
fairs of the state."
FIRST MOVE TOR SHERMAN
When Griseom moved to substitute
the name of Mr. Roosevelt for that of
Vice President Sherman for the tem
porary chairmanship he made the com
panion motion that a vote on the choice
of chairman be postponed until a later
meeting. This was at once combated
by .--'peaker Wadsworth on the ground
that the two motions wore distinct
and should be considered separately.
There being, danger of both motions
being shelved on a parliamentary tech
nicality, Griseom withdrew his motion
to postpone a vote and Harry W.
Mack at once took It up as an inde
pendent motion. The vote to postpone
was taken and the roll call showed
that the delegates stood almost 20 to»
1 against postponement.
The vote to substitute Mr. Roose
velt's name for that of.Vice President
Sherman was next taken. The names
first called were those of delegates of
district! comprising the city of New
York. The delegates representing the
Brooklyn district, over which Chair
man Woodruff exercises undisputed
leadership, voted against the former
president, the notable exception being
F. J. H. Kracke, naval officer of this
When the names of the delegates
representing New Ycrk county were
called they were seen to be a unit In
favor of Mr. Roosevelt, those voting
for him including William Henkel and
George W. Wanamaker, both federal
officeholders. The vote of the upstate
delegates, however, was almost solid
against the naming of Mr. Roosevelt.

tee, had been in conference with Presi
dent Taft Saturday night and Sunday
added to the consternation that the
dispatchers created. Mr. Taft made no
comment for publication.
There Is nothing to Indicate thiit he
knew of Mr. Orlscom's plan to force a
vote on Mr. Roosevelt's name.
So far as can be learned. Mr. Clriß
com's talk with the president had to
do solely with the general gituation In
New York state, and Mr. Taft took the
ground that harmony ought to be
brought about if possible, before the
Saratoga convention. The story that
Mr. Griscom took a BNIUt to Col.
Roosevelt that would affect the future
relation! between Mr. Roosevelt and
the president Is discredited in Beverly.
.Mr. Taft assumed the attitude that
any overtures, if they be necessary,
"must come from the other side."
The statement issued by Mr. Roose
velt, apparently placing himself sauare
ly on the side of the "progressives,"
baa created much comment here. What
effect today'B developments In New
York may have on the reorganization
I.lavs that have be^n in progress is a
matter of conjecture.
WILL STAND PAT ON PLANS
So far as can be learned there Is a
disposition in Beverly to stand pat on
the plans as announced. The publicity
that has been given to these plans may
retard them for a while, but there is
apparently plenty of confidence that
they ultimately will go through.

be a conference with Secretary Ballin

Will be brought to bear upon Mr.
Ballinger to resign without putting the
president in the position of asking for
the resignation.
