BIG MEN MIXED UP IN FRAUDS

tional developments which will prob
ably involve some of the most promi

town lots frauds, which will begin

Indians, who brought the 20,000 suits
in the federal court to rocover on be
half of tile Creek nation lands of im
mense value, alleged to have been se
cured by fraud by the persons now
controlling them, last night dictated
the following statement

"There is not a word of truth in
a statement quoted by Gov. Haskell
as having been made by Scott Mac
Reynolds, attorney for \V. R. Hearst,
to the effect that I had said that I mid
not found evidence to connect Has
kell with any criminal conduct in re
lation to the Muskogee lot matter,
but that I might be abie to force an

purposes. 1 never made such a state
ment to MacReynolds or to any one
else."

one of the men against whom the fed

resentatives of the government to sur
render the greater part, of their
wealth for the benefit of the Indians if
assured that they will not be prose
cuted. These propositions have not
been considered by the officials.
Use Judges as "Dummies."
From an unofficial source it is learn
ed that the government will offer the
evidence of hundreds of "dunnfiies,"
whose names were used by the ac
cused to schedule lots without their
knowledge or consent.. These "dum
mies," who will begin to arrive Mon
day, in obedience to subpoenas, are
for the most part men of affairs and
of the highest standing in the com
munity in which they reside. Some
are judges, some are prosecuting at
torneys, one an ex-governor, and a
number are bank cashiers. They are
all friends of the men against whom
they will have to testify.

GRAPHIC TALES Of CRASH
Bravery and Good Behavior of Crew*
Praised—Something Wrong on
Florida's Bridge.
New York, Jan. 27—
Less than sev
enty-two hours after the crash be
tween the ocean liners Republic and
Florida off the Nantucket shoals,
which eventually sent the former to
the bottom and reduced the latter to
a state of staggering helplessness, the
survivors of this thrilling deep-sea
tragedy have found a haven at last.
At nightfall last night 1,650 pas
sengers from the two vessels were
safe in this port, brought here by the
Raltic, while nearing it were the res
cued officers and crew of the Repub
lic, safe on board the derelict destroy
er Seneca, to which they were trans
ferred from the revenue cutter Gresh
ani. after staying up to the last mo
ment by their sinking vessel.
At her dock in Brooklyn was the
battered Florida, aboard which her
crew had remained throughout her
trying experience.
Graphic Tales of Crash.
Willi the important work of rescue
thus practically finished, attention be
gan to be turned to endeavors to learn
definitely if possible how the two big
ocean travelers had come to crash
into each other and whether their
fateful meeting was as unavoidable as
at first appeared. On the Republic's
side little was to be learned. Her
passengers told graphic tales of the
crash, of the excitement on board, of
behavior of the crew and of the effi
cient work of rescue. That all had
not gone so well with the Florida and
that, possibly on her bridge might be
sought, a contributing cause for the
disaster was indicated by a late de
velopment of the day.
Wheelsman Felled by Captain.
There are two versions of what hap
pened on the bridge of the Florida
when the Republic loomed up in front
of her through the morning fog. Lit
tle could be learned from Capt. Ros
pini when he was seen on board his
essel on her arrival in the harbor.
According to others who had been
11 board the Florida and were
rought into port by the Baltic, how
ver, something went wrong with the
•'lorida's steering wheel when the col
lision was imminent. One story had
that a quartermaster had the wheel
when the commander yelled for it to
be jammed to starboard. He put it to
ort instead and the liners crashed

Worked Like Heroes.
Survivors had warm words of com
mendation for the officers and men of
the Florida, who worked like heroes,
with their own ship in a sad way, to
get the passengers from the worse
damaged Republic to comparative'
safety on board the Italian vessel.
When the Florida reached her dock
it was learned that it was three and
not four of her crew who had been
killed when the steamers collided
