Jle gave out this statement: "The story that comes to me about tho charges mads by Senator Gore at Muskogee today is absolutely without the slightest shadow of foundation." - Muskogee, Okla.?--Senator Thomas P. Gore caused a sensation by naming Vice-President Sherman, Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas and othe;*3 in connection with the McMurray contracts with the Chickasaw and Choctaw tribes, investigation of which is in progress hero by a special com mittee of congress. In a recital that dum founded the investigators tho blind senator from Oklahoma nar rated evants that happened in his pri vate office at Washington at noftn May 6 last, when, lie declares, he was approached by Jacob I,. Hamon of Oklahoma and offered a bribe of $25, 000 or*50,000 if he would withdraw a bill pending in congress so that $3, 000,000 in fees might be paid to J. P. McMurray, an Oklahoma attorney, and his associates. The Btory the senator told was In substance identical with the one with which he threw congress, into excite ment June 24, during the closing days of the session, but upon cross-exam ination at this time he divulged names that he suppressed in his apeech from the floor of the senate. The names mentioned in connec tion with the Indian contracts up to the time the investigators adjourned were Vice-President James School craft Sherman, Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas, Representative Bird S. McGuire of Oklahoma; Chester I. J-ong, once United States __ senator from Kansas; Jacob L. Hamon, once chairman of the Oklahoma Repub lican territorial and state committees; John F.

Vice-President Sherman's name was mentioned by Mr. Hamon, Sen ator Gore testified, as being interested In the land deal to the extend oi favor ing the approval by congress of what are known as the McMurray contracts with tho Indians. What happened in another private room in Washington,. where, it was. alleged, Mr. Hamon made more "over tures" reiative to ine land deal, was told by Representative Q. B. Creager Qt the Third Oklahoma district. Rep resentative Creager supplemented the testimony of Senator. aorV He said on Jtine 16 last he had been Invited by Mr. Hamon to meet him In a pri vate room at the Occidental hotel in Washington. ? Having gone there, Mr. Creager testified, he was Informed ho cbuld have a substantial "Interest" In the land deal If he would withdraw his opposition to the approval of the. McMurray contracts by congress. Jacob I>. Hamon, accused by Sena tor T. P. Qor$! with having offered him a $25,000 bribe to influence legislation in eongress for the sale of Oklahoma Indian lands, took the stand before the congressional inves tigating committee and denied that he had ever offered a bribe to1 Any body, or that he had aver mentioned Vice-President Sherman or Senator \Vor*> ?

New York.?-Irdicat'ons point to tlio bottom bavin*: fa!Icn out of the automobile business. The manufac turers, it Is reported In trade circles, aro making strenuous? eft'oris to keep up a show' of continued prosperity, but it is also Fald that they are not celling their product, but are ? taring inacliincs throughout the country at their various agencies to prevent the public realizing the true conditions of the market. Several large concerns arc laying off men and giving al! forts'.qf reasons for so deing except the statement that they are overstocked. Two or three of the largest factories recently closed entirely, ostensibly for the pur pose of taking inventory, but the workmen were not given any definite time at which to again report for work, and it is not expected (hat theve factories will again be in operation this year. ? A well known automobile acrent of this city said yesterday that all ears would undoubtedly be selling at from 25 per cent, (o r>0 per cent, less than present list prices within the next two or three months. Ho added: "The trouble with the automobile business is that th<; farmers and.peo ple of-the-smaller cities and towns, have not taken as} kindly to the idea as was ailticipaied. Tii? fanner* Hud that the cost of keening them in re pair and operation is more than the cost of keeping tyorses to perform the same work, and while there was, for a time, a tendency among the farmers to invest in the machines, the demand for cars from this class of buyers has practically stopped, and I venture '>o say we will not again sell to the farm ers to any extent until prices are ma terially reduced."
