Hallman said the Choctaws wanted
to get their money out of the segre

Congressman Miller subjected Hall-!

apparently in an effort to establish
that the attorney advised the Indians

WASHINGTON WOMEN
ENJOY CIGARETTES
i
Smoke in Private mid Often in Public—Few I'm; Cigars. l>utj
Clergy Pruiioutiees llaUit UunccesMirj’ and Obnoxious.
WASHINGTON, I>. < . August s.—
In this city, where society is tinned
with the foreign habits of the diplo
matic set. and w hero ctgarhtte smok
ing is so common among society wo
man that it is no longer a matter of
much comment, there is a strong feel
ing that the anti-cigarette crusaders
have been unfair in directing their
criticism at one or two individual
women smokers. Among the clergy,
no one #ould lie found to-day to de
fend or condone the practice, but
there was a general opinion that re
cent criticism has lieeii unjust In a
personal way.
The practice, it wns pointed out,
was not confined to any especial feat,
but was quite general among fash
ionable women. As a regular feature
of practically every ultra-fashionable
diner party here, cigarettes are usually
provided for the women. The old
fuRhioned idea of the women leaving
the men at the table to smoke their
cigars has almo.it entirely disappear
ed, as now the men nave their ciga
rettes and iiquer in one room and
the women have their* in another.
When the occasion Is informal and
the company Is intimate, it is not ex
traordinary for the women to smoke
at the table with the men
A cigarette ease as a feature of
the fashionable woman's chatelaine is
not a sufficient rarity here to attract
attention At a recent amateur thea
trical performance a purse was stolen
from a prominent feminine member
of the "younger set.’’ The loss was
advertised in the papers, and among
the contents of the purse was men
tioned a Jeweled cigarette case. The
name of the owner was given without
any apparent thought of embarrass
ment. All the fashionable Jewelers
pointed out that the government by
treaty has agreed to dispose of the
land for the Indians and give them the
proceeds. There is little* doubt that
the Indian lands that McWarray wish
ed to sell will bring a much higher
price than he placed on them, the
geological survey estimating the value
of the mineral products alone in the
territory at $100,000,000,
It Is also believed that Jacob L.
Hamon’s influence in Washington on
Indian affairs is broken Senator
Gore has charged him with offering
a bribe in conneotlon with the Mc
Murray deal, and although he has en
tered a denial, the investigation will
bring out so many details in connec
tion with the lands in this session,
that it Is doubtful if a questionable
bit of legislation relative to Indian
affair* could be driven through con
gress with a trip-hammer.
Senator t’urtis of Kansas, and Con
gressman McGuire, of Oklahoma, both
of whom Gore testified had been mim
ed by Hamon as being interested in
the deals, are with the committee
here. Both have denied on the stand
the story Gore says ftamon told him.
Congressman Creager. who says he
was “improperly approached" by
1-famon, is also following the commit
tee, but it is believed Chairman
Burke will devote the next few days
to learning everything possible from
the Indians themselves
Iviunlne (Tilef*.
When other Indian chiefs are call
ed by the committee further testimony
Is expected along the line of McCur
tain's story that he was offered a
quarter interest in a $1,000,000 con
tract If he would approve it.
The name of Vice-President Sher
man will probably not be used again
In connection with the Investigation.
Gore, under protest, told the story he
<*lalnis Hamon told to him, and in
which he named the Vice-President.
Hamon denied that he told Gore that
Sherman was Interested. That ends
it. in the opinion of attorneys and
congressmen here.
Whether or not the committee de
•cides that Gore was offered a bribe
or that any one was using Improper
methods to secure Indian lands legis
lation. It Is believed oprtaln that from
now on attorneys who have maintain
ed headquarters In the Kost and
drawn as high aa $12,000 a year for
representing the Indians will find this
territory pretty dry picking after this
investigation.
SOCIALISTS FORM

CTutx* Tlirotigliout State Pivd
ent at Enthusiastic Meeting. |
Virginia socialists nrganliPd for!
political battle Saturday when the t
seventeen clubs met in J*abney‘s hall
and formed a permanent State or-1
gantxatlon.
Prominent socialists from various ;
sections of the State were present and i
made enthusiastic prophetic ad
dresses. Prominent aniuag these
speakers was Thomas J. Payne, who
outlined the principles of the party.
The speaker also told of the growth
In strength of the socialist movement
during recent .years, and predicted
that this strength would eventually
mean a political eupremaey that would
result In much good for the nation,
l>oth Individually and as a Whole.
Mr. Kid. of Newport News, was
elected State secretary of the new or- ,
ganlaatlou. and an executive commit- I
we of five was elected. i
Here carry a lurge flock oi #umtu a
cigarette cases. As presents from
men, they are quite common.
It 1h not a rare sight to nee the
wife of a foreign diplomat smoking 1
■ complacently as she sits on the lawn j
of her home on a pleasant evening.
Some foreign women, prominent here,
have been known to smoke cigar*.
Though thse facta put the Washington
situation in a light different from
that ill other American cities, the local
clergy falls to Hud any defense for the :
habit.
“The habit of cigarette smoking
among women is to my mind a thor
oughly pernicious one from any stand- I
point,” said Canon Austin, of St.'
| Thomas' Episcopal church to-day.
1 “Am to cigarettes. I personally dislike j
them and when a man does smoke,
I should prefer his using the homely
pipe. In women the hublt of cigarette !
smoking is to be more strongly con- j
deni net! than in men because of their
higher standing in the social scale.
Father Eugene Hannon, of the ;
Church of the Immaculate Conception,
was equally severe in tils criticism of,
the eig^setta habit among women, ire j
said:
"The habit is obnoxious all around, I
and in women, despite the fact that
the fact that the law, from a gospal :
standpoint, is the same for both sexes,
cigarette smoking Is worse than with
men, because of the example they set.
Society demands a different ethical
code for women, for Its own protec- !
tlon. It is worse for a woman to j
smoke in public than In her boudoir.
By this. I do not mean that it is not
a thoroughly bad habit for them to i
practice even in private, but 1 simply
wish to show that it is the bad
example of a woman smoking that
makes the habit worse wth them.”

cause of an accident that occurred
, at Ninth and Alain streets Sunday

I special delivery messenger boy, col
i tided, Robert Jones, son of Millionaire
J. R. Jones, of Petersburg, was In
police court Mondaj morning, but no

Justice Crutchfield requiring security
in the sum of »500. in furnishing
■ the bail bond Air. Jones, in answer
to the question if he wag worth the
amount, replied with a smile, "and
] then a few pennies. '
From what can lie learned of the
accident it appears that Messenger
) Crouch was going westward on Main
street on the south side of the thor
oughfare. The automobile ’Nvas com
■ ing up Ninth afreet on the east side
and struck the motorcycle at the in
tersection or the streets. The messen
ger was thrown from hia wheel and
caught beneath the front wheel of
I the auto. Despite the fact that the
1 chauffeur applied the emergency
brakes at once the car traveled about
its length, pushing the lad along to
the car tracks.
still Mr. Junes was out of it anti dnitig
what he could lur the victim of the
i accident. The young messenger was
j taken into a drug store and treated
after which ha was ahle to walk away
and to later take a car for his home.
; Policeman Dugan was the first officer
1 on the scene and through precaution
I he placed the autoist under arrest. In
his own machine Air. Jones went to
1 the First police station from which
place he was permitted to telephone
to his father in Petersburg. The
parent hurried to Richmond and tur
| nished the necessary bail for his son s
! appearance in court Monday.
Attorney Gilbert K. Poilock has
been employed by Mr. Jones as coun

i vindication. Mr. Jones declares he
was not driving faster than ten miles
an hour at the time of the accident.

APPLE MARKET
CONTINUES DULL
Apples continue to pour Into the
: Richmond market, but on account of
! an extremely light demand they are
selling at almost any price. Many
i barrels of the cheaper grades are going
I to waste In Cary street. The lack or
| consumption of apples Is placed at the
floors of retailers, who. It is said, ask
a high figure for the fruit.
Eggs went up slightly Monday morn
ing In the produce market.
The market generally is In fair
condition.
