(EE WEALTHY HE IS BURIED PAUPER

Prebla County Man, Winning Wealth as Educator, Ruined by Hard Drinking. ' HE HAD A UNIQUE CAREER APPARENTLY WHEN CHARLES TON RINQ HAD ATTAINED SUCCESS HE SUDDENLY BEGAN A LIFE OF DISSIPATION. (Palladium Special) Eaton, O., Aug. 1 After an earthly existence of 72 yean, a life brimming with human Interest and pathos has been ended, and the body of Charleston Ring, once highly respected and industrious, lies in a pauper's grave in the little burying ground near the Preble county Infirmary. Born of sturdy, honest parents near Connersvllle, Ind., Charleston Ring entered upon his life with all possible luxuries and necessities of that early day. He was given the best education afforded by the district school and later he attended college. Thus favored, he took advantage of his education and became one of the most successful pedagogues in eastern Indiana. At his profession he grew wealthy, and in a few years was happily married. But just as he was apparently beginning to enjoy the rich rewards of his career, he seemingly became bewitched by bib uncontrollable thirst for the "fiery fluid" and began a course, so old friends says, that carried him to the bottom step of life with even more rapidity than he had risen. Contrasted with the first few years of his married life, his conduct seriously affected his wife, and she died of a broken heart. Ring soon spent all his earnings and he lived the life of a gipsy, finally setling In the neighborhood of Sugar Valley, a small pillage southwest of Eaton, where he resided . for almost eleven ' years. The work, that he did was only enough to raise money for a great amount of drink and his bare necessities. Heaped upon him the weight of the years of violation of natural laws for physical maintenance. Ring - became unable to work at all, and consequently he became an Inmate of the county Infirmary about two years ago, but last Friday a paralytic stroke seised him. Although dulled by years of drink the Intellect of Ring was yet as good as the average man. Being a great reader during hit confinement at the Institution, he perused all sorts of books, and was an exception when it came to a discussion of all public activities. Attended by about a doxen of the Inmates the funeral vas conducted on Sunday afternoon at the Infirmary chapel by the Rev. Samuel Huddle. VETERA!! SPORTSMEN N. B. Warder or this city and William Burrls of south of Centervllle are perhaps the oldest sportsmen in the county, the former being 73 and the latter 74. Both secured hunting licenses this morning from County Clerk Harry E. Penny. They both maintain that they can hold their own with much younger sportsmen. During the month the county clerk Issued forty-five hunting licenses. The squirrel season opened on July 1 and this Is responsible for the large number of . hunters' licenses issued. secures, hew eono L. H. Bunyan and Samuel W. Gaar were released as sureties on the bond of Dr. C. M. Hamilton, guardian of the minor heirs of the late Anna R. Williams. Dr. Hamilton remains as guardIan of the children but must give another bond of 98,000. The action was In the circuit court. It was prompted because the guardian has taken up his residence In Florida and those who were surety for his bond did not care to continue the trust longer under the circumstances. IE DESERTS FAMILY Alleging that her husband, James Trent deserted her two weeks ago, Mrs. Emma Trent made a successful appeal to Township Trustee James Howarth today for mileage to Dublin, Virginia for herself and two children. 2 and S years. The mother was nn equal to the task of supporting her self and children. Assistance will be forthcoming from her parents who live In Virginia. The Trent family lived in North Nineteenth street across the railroad, and while here he worked at Gaar, Scott and Com pany. The Rt's Tall. The rat's tall Is a wonderful piece f Bechanlsm.

Sensational Developments are Gore Bribery

Investigation by a Congressional Committee will start at Muskogee on Thursday next. (American Nawa Service) Washington, Aug. 1. Sensational developments are expected when the house committee appointed at the clone of the congressional session to Investigate the charges of bribery brought by Senator Gore of Oklahoma in connection with the attorney's fees for the sale of Indian lands in thai state, begins its sessions. The members of the committee are: Representatives Burke, of South Dakota, chairman; Campbell of Kansas; Miller of Minnesota;' Stevens of Texas and Saunders of Virginia. According to present arrangements the investigation will open in Muskogee, Oklahoma, on Thursday of this week, when the blind senator,will be summoned before the committee to repeat his charges. Copies of contracts of J. F. McMurray the attorney whose agent is alleged to have offered the bribes with the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians have been prepared by the Interior department and will be in the hands of the committee, when the sessions begins. The committee, however will not confine Itself to the nitre investigation of the bribery charges. The resolution empowers it to "investigate all circumstances connected with certain contracts now said to exist between J. F. McMurray, an attorney or any other, person or persons, and the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes of Indians or any member thereof, or any of the five civilized tribes. This to include bribery, fraud or any undue Influence that may have been exerted on behalf of the approval or procurring of the contracts." For this reason all the rumors that de veloped shortly after the charges were made to the effect that a senator and member of the house are Interest ed in the contracts, will be thoroughly sifted, and the report will be made at the next session of congress. The Gore investigation as It is gen erally known had its inception in the closing days of the last congressional Besslon, when Senator Gore opposed a provision In the general deficiency and appropriation bill, charging that a bribe had been offered to him and to an Oklahoma representative from $35,000 to $50,000 if they would not press legislation adverse to the interests of certain lawyers who were seeking enormous fees for services in disposing of the lands of the Choctaw Indians in Oklahoma. He named J. E. McMurray, a well known Indian attorney and lobbyist, as the head of a group of lawyers, who would get at least 13,000,000 in fees if the plans went through, and said that his agent had made the bribe offer. Mr. Gore's exact words were: "On May 6 a man came to me with an Improper suggestion. He was a representative of Mr. McMurray, a resident of my home town, and had been my friend in time- of need. He assured me it would be to my financial interest to call on the senator from Colorado and advise him not report the resolution. There ' was a suggestion that $25,000 or $50,000 would be available If the contracts were not prohibited." Senator Gore's charges came as a climax to a long bitter war, which he had been waging against attorneys, who seek to enrich themselves at the expense of the Indians of his state. Time and again he had addressed the senate, urging an Inquiry into contracts being made with he Indians looking to the disposal of lands allotted to them In the former reservations. On these lands are immensely valuable coal and oil fields, and care was taken to put into the law permitting their ' sale, clauses which would enable the interior department to safeguard the rights of the Indians. It appears, however, that McMurray and his colleagues, held in the neighborhood of 10,000 individual contracts with Indian claimants to the land toe 10 percent of the proceeds from the sale of these lands. The total value of the lands is estimated at $50,000,000 to $100,000,000. The contracts effecting the sale of these lands were Incorporated in the general deficiency appropriation bill, and when Senator Gore failed to get the Inquiry he had repeatedly asked for, he took another step to circumvent the lawyers, by offering an amendment to the general deficiency appropriation bill, which provided that contracts affecting the sale of the lands, even if made by Individual Indians, should be null and void unless approved by congress. In this way the bill passed the senate, but the house objected to Gore's sweeping provision, and the bill went into conference, where it was amended to provide that "all contracts made by nations shall be null and void until approved by the president and secre tary of the Interior, but that "all con tracts heretofore made by the indivi dual members of said nations affect ing the tribal property- shall be ap proved by the secretary and president at such rate of compensation as they may determine.' When tJore heard of the change tn the bill, he made his sensational charges on the floor of the senate. The charges were later repeated by Representatives Murray of Missouri, and Carter of Oklahoma In the house when the name of Cecil Lyon, republican national committeeman, from Texas, was mentioned a a holder of contracts for the attorney's fees for Indian lands. The charges caused a great com motion and congress took decisive ac-

tlon by amending the paragraph in the gneeral deficiency appropriation bill to provide that "no contract or contracts heretofore or hereafter made af fecting the tribal money and prop erty of the said Indian tribes shall be approved until further action by con gress. At the same time both the senate and . house appointed committees to investigate the charges, but the Benate adjourned without providing any funds for its committee. The house, however, took this precaution. What the result of the inquiry will be is problematical. J. F. McMurray and others, whose names have been mentioned in connection with the charges, have all requested a prompt investigation. Whatever the result there can be no question but that these Indian contracts are very profitable, for acocrding to the records in the interior department McMurray and his associates received a fee of $750,000 as attorneys before the Choctaw citizenship court. During Roosevelt's administration they held a contract with the five civilized tribes on a similar basis, but the president declined' to accept or acknowledge it as a valid contract. j Then they got the Individual contracts. CONSPIRACY SEEN IN WATSON-FISH LANGUAGE (Continued From Page One.) are making to carry the state, but those who have been watching the trend of affairs are of the opinion that the scheme will not work out. The shallowness of the statement made by some of these writer-agitators is disclosed In the fact that In case Indiana was thrown to the democrats this year through republican efforts to obtain or hold control of the state organization the republican party would get a black eye from which it would not recover for many years. In that event it would not make any difference who controlled the party organization, for it would be a dead one. There Is not the slightest reason to believe that either the Beveridge or the anti-Bever-idge factions would wish to take the responsibility for such a result. Judging from reports which reach the republican state headquarters the republicans all over the state will vote the ticket, and the efforts of the agitators are not having any effect. It is true that the republicans probably have bad spots In the state, Just as the democrats also have bad spots, but there would not be anything serious in any of them if the . agitators would cease their pro-democratic agitation. Looks for Good Man. Since Will H. Hays of Sullivan, has found that he cannot accept the position of chairman of the speakers' bureau in , this campaign, State Chairman Lee - is looking around for the right man to take the place. Hays was chairman of the republican speakers bureau - during the campaign - two years ago and four years ago and he was a good man on the Job.- He: and Chairman Lee were in ' hopes that- he could take np the work again this year But Hays Is district chairman of the Second district, ' and Chairman Lee says that conditions have developed so favorably In -the Second for the election of Oscar F. Bland of Linton for congress that he and Hays decided that It would be best for Hays to remain in his district and give his personal attention to the congressional district fight. . They believe Bland will surely defeat Congressman Cullop, and they hold that the prospect is so good that the game is worth the candle. Chairman Lee has his eye on two or three other men for-the chairmanship of the speakers bureau and ' he will "THIS DATE

probably be able to announce the appointment within a few days. The chairman of this bureau is one of the busiest men in a campaign. It is a position of great responsibility. It is his duty to fix the dates for all of the speakers who make campaign speeches in th state. He must not only make the dates, but he must arrange their railroad routes and itineraries, look after the expenses of the trips, etc. He must exercise great care in the selection of speakers for the various places because if he should happen to send the wrong speaker to a town he might do no more harm than good. The man in charge of the speakers bureau must' be a man of keen Insight and good Judgment. Hays was Just the man for the place, and whoever takes up the work as his successor will find that Hays set a hot pace for him during the two campaigns when he served In that capacity. Plenty of Speakers. It is said that there will be no lack of speakers during the campaign. Arrangements are being made to call on all the republican speakers of the various counties in the state, and that a large number of prominent republicans from all over the country have tendered their services to the state organization for campaign speeches. The welkin will probably ring as loud as ever. Republicans and democrats alike are sending out thousands of copies of campaign documents all over the state, copies of speeches, platforms and other documents are burdening the mails and it is said that within the next couple of weeks practically every republican in the state "will - have received some of the campaign literature. This is being donety the state committees, the candidates for United States senator and the candidates for congress-in the various districts.'
