SENATOR CORE NAMES SHERMAN “Man Higher Up” in Alleged Bribery Deal. OTHERS ARE INPLICATED Besides the Vice President Oklahoma Senator Mentions Senator Curtis of Kansas and Representative McGuire of His Own State as Men Who Were Interested in McMurray Contracts. Muskogee, Okla, Aug. 5.—Carrying out his purpose to disclose all he knew concerning an alleged offer of a bribe of $25,000 for which, he said, he was asked to promote a $30,000,000 In- dian land deal, United States Senator T. P. Gore told the special investigat- ing committee of the house of repre- sentatives the time and place at which the alleged bribe was offered. Senator Gore charged Jacob Ham- mon, former national Republican com- mitteeman from Oklahoma, with of- fering the bribe. at Washington on May 6. Senator Gore declared that when he frowned on the proffer Hammon said the amount would be raised to $50, 000. ”Hammon also told me that Sen- ator Charles Curtis of Kansas and Congressman B. S. McGuire of Okla- homa were interested in the McMur- ray contracts,” testified Senator.Gore, “and, while I am about it, I may as well tell that he said an official high- er up in the government was also in- terested in the deal.” Vice President Sherman was named by Senator Gore as the man quoted higher up in connection with the Me- Murray contracts. Gore Says He Was Amazed. “When he named persons higher up I held up my hands in astonishment and said, ‘Is it possible that a person so high in the United States govern- ment could lay himself open to such an imputation?” - “‘Well,’ replied Hammon, ‘that is a lot of money, you see’” The bribery offer, said Senator Gore, followed his opposition to the approval by congress of what are known as the McMurray contracts, which affect the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes of In- dians. By these contracts, he said, J. F. Mc- Murray, an attorney, and associates were to receive 10 per cent of the profits on the sale of 450,000 acres of coal and asphalt lands belonging to the Indians. As a New York syndi- cate stood ready to pay $30,000,000 for the. lands the 10 per cent to the Mc- Murray interests for “attorneys’ fees” would realize $3,000,000, said the sena- tor. Senator Gore appeared before the special investigating committee, which convened here as a direct result of charges made by him in the senate on June 24.
