SULPHUR, OKI.A., August 1«.—The .
Gore congressional investigating com
mittee. satisfied that the Indians were
willing to sacrifice millions in hopes
that they might realise something from
their lunds, will spend the next few ■
days endeavoring to find how many
other law firms were interest'd in
handling "Poor Lo'*" affairs for him.
That McMurray did not have a mo
nopoly on the Indian land cases ha*
already been brought out, and reports
'.o-day say that before the committee
aas finished is hearing It w ill be shown
that a law firm yei unnamed holds
;ontracts valued at $20,000. j
Thomas B. Crews, ot Crewe & Cant
well, of St. Louis, representing a big
syndicate, testified yesterday that the
people he represents were Interested
In securing allotment-, for Oklahoma
for 1.200 Mississippi Choctaws. The
syndicate had arranged for a half In
terest In all lands secured for their cli
ents. so that the syndicate's Interest
in the deal would arn.unt to about
$2,039,000.
Further Investigation Is expected to
be made Into the charge that Indian
children were practically robbed of the
lands when disposed of by agent*.
James Yarborough told of a case
where a guardian of one papoose wns
suthorixed to sell HO acre* of land
for »2.SOO. The probate court allowed
the guardian JfcaO for exercising the
right to file the land for a minor;
allowed J1.-900 for breaking and clean
ing the lands. il.QSO for a house. 1460
for posts. $500 for a barn and well.
$260 for wire, $8S for witness fees and
70 for attorney fees. When the land
was finally sold the minor was $2,100 in
debt, the land gune, and they are talk
ing of selling the homestead to pay the
guardian for Ins services
Ktamlnr Chief.
Chief Johnson, of the Chickasaws,
was tailed to the stand and said that
the act authorliing the employment of
Mantled. Murray and Cornish as attor
news for the Indians was passed while
he was governor of the tribe. The
first work was to purge the rolls of
those not entitled to allotments, he
said. Two thousand were kept from
the rolls In this way, and the law
firm received a fee of $7 50,000. and
at the same time were receiving $,">,
000 yearly from the Chlrkasaws under
another contract and $5,000 from the
Choctaws.
Johns- n said, however, neither he
nor his people felt that they had wast
ed money on the firm. Johnson could
not say how much the tribe had spent
on McMurray and his associates but
thought the sum was large
"You were in favor of the $750,000
fee"'' asked Chairman Burke.
"Yea." said Johnson.
"What was the value of .be estate
they received?"
About sixteen millions '
Johnson then said in rnewer v > „
tlon that Mansfield, McMurray and
Cornish had contributed to the ex
pense of a train which brought voter,
3 00 mile* during the campaign for hi?
•lection In 19U4.
The firm did not, however, pay any
money to him personally for cam
paign purposes, or promtse him anv
share In their fees, the chief said.
Johnsan said he knew nothing of
the McMurray contracts being sent to
the President for approval, as It was
the duty of the national secretary to
transact auch acts.

NORFOLK, VA. August IS.—To he
found guilty of deserting his post on
the night of the robbery of the Mg
safe on board the United State* receiv
ing ship Franklin, sentenced to a year
in the naval prison at Boston and dis
honorably discharged from the navy
and then have the Navy Department
to put aside the finding* of the court

The man's name could not be learn

night the safe on the ship was cracked
and $6,123 taken therefrom deserted
his post and the robbers were conse
quently unmolested in their work.
The name of the man has never been
made public. It Is claimed that the
sentinel was supposed to sleep in the

because the night was so h«H he went

DECLARE OYSTER MEN
ARE NOT ALL WRONG
To Sidps to Question Regarding
Removal of Stakes in James
River.
(Special to The Richmond Virginian.)
NEWPORT NEW#, VA.. August 16.
That there are two sides to the oys
ter controversy becomes more and more
apparent each day. Cpatain W. E.
Lawson, chief of police of the oyster
navy returned to Newport New§ from
the Pagan river district yesterday af
ternoon and reported that he found the
situation as to the "stake pulling" on
the James river one with which the
local authorities of Isle of Wight coun
ty had to deal. When the Maury,
which took the Inspector to the scene
of the trouble, arrived at Battery Park
yesterday morning there was lively In
terest evinced by friends of the oys
termen. However, the Maury steamed
on up to Smithfleld. where Captain
Lawson held a conference with the
county authorities. Yesterday after
noon he returned to Battery Park
aboard the Maury and representatives
of the tongers came aboard his ship
and placed their situation before him.
Briefly stated, the grievance of the
tongers >l» this: The State has rented
to certain planters oyster bottom Im
mediately adjacent to the naturarrock.
In some cases the amount of acreage
rented being very small. The tongers
say that some of the planters used
"walking stakes,” by means of which
the stakes Anally get over the Baylor
lines and enclose natural rock. Other
of these planters arrange with vari
ous persons to work on the bottom they
have rented, giving them written per
mits. These persons merely use the
rented acreage as an excuse for being
on the river, stripping th,r natural rock
at every opportunity. WTien these par
ties are caught they show their per
mits and get off unpunished on one
pier or another.
