MIR. CLARK'S CONTENTION.
I contend an investigation involving
a seat in the highest legislative body
OF this nation, as well as the honor OF
an individual chosen for that position
by the people OF one OF the sovereign
states thereof. should be conducted in
a strictly judicial manner. and that In
the proceedings the established rules
OF evidence should be applied. II Is well
known TO everybody that this was not
the case II Is true that there was. a
strong effort made by the honorable
senators from Alabama, Maryland,
Kansas and North Carolina, at the be-
ginning OF the investigation to exclude
all the irrelevant testimony. but their
efforts wore unavailing.
The result of the admission OF all
kinds OF heresay. irrelevant, malicious
and perjured testimony was damaging
In the extreme TO the respondent, as
through the medium OF both the re-
spectacle and the venal press the most
widespread publicity was given
throughout the land 10 some Of the per-
nicious falsehoods. touching the re-
spondent and likewise large number
OF most eminent and upright legisla-
tors who supported him and who are
the peers OF the boasted men of any,
state in this union.
LIKE THE DREYFUS CASE.
The prevailing theory of presump-
tive innocence was largely ignored and
the entire proceedings were closely an
alogous to the Dreyfus case where the
prosecution was based upon pre-
sumption of guN. The precedents that
have been established in examinations
of this character since 1885 have beer
lightly considered If not entirely dis
regarded. IL has heretofore been held
that there must be proved actual COM
plcity in fraud on the part of the
principal or actual. not presumptive.

his agents. or that 1t must be proved

of legislators have been corruptly In
fluenced TO change the result of the
election.
AS to the first proposition. no proof
was adduced that was accepted by the
committee and no charge of completely
has been made in the report.
NO PROOF OF GUILT.
AS to the second proposition not in a
single instance, In my opinion, or in the
opinion OF the eminent counsel who
aided me in this investigation has
there been any proof sufficient 10 es-

respondent was allowed TO introduce

HOW THEY'VE WON
Two Wichita Boys Record on
the English Turf
COMPARED TO THEIR RIVALS
Lester Reiff Lost an important
Race Yesterday.

Lester Reiff, the Wichita boy, lost
race yesterday which must have broken
his heart. Those two Wichita boys who
have come into fame and fortune. the
Reiffs. are not to be driven out of Eng
eYnd eql O. peIIQ sABq 1sqL publ
OF Berestord, and he and other English
sportsmen have decided to stand by
them. But, just the same, the boys
would have given fortune to have won
yesterday.
The trouble came up over a certain
clique headed by a sporting lord who has
lest money, taking the ground that the
Wichita boys were tricky and dishonest,
and an effort was made TO rule them off
the English turf But the better class
of English sportsmen have shut the
movement off and the Wichita riders will
remain.
All sorts of things are reputed to the
boys who have won so many races. They
are charged with all kinds Of disreputa-
bic tricks, and some folks are having
quite little fun in England in connec-
ton with the stories of doping horses.
Humorists are getting in their work on
the subject, and even the comic singers
throw out hints that ways that are mean
are being employed by American train
ers.
The following is one of the sQuibs from
the funny fellow on the Pink Tn, a pub
lication that is printed on fiery red paper,
devoted principally to the turf and the
military. 1t says:
There was quite an old-time air about
the opening race at Leicester; twelve
jockeys riding, and not a Yank among
'em.
'W'ot, 'aven't the syringes arrived?"
chirruped a certain musical fielder, and
the easily pleased h''t broken punters
smiled in feeble way.
But the fact is that the Reiffs win by
superior riding. The two finest English
jockeys are Mornington Cannon and
Kempton Cannon. This is the way the
Reiffs have exceled the Cannons in this
years racing:
MORNINGTON CANNON.
Mounts, 1863; won. 70; seconds, Go; thirds,
GO; unplaced, 1913, ercentages: Winners
1876; placed horses, 1910. Won As races
in which one or more Of the Americans
have competed.

nose, and a thingumabob which looks Ike
an inverted rat trap over his ears and
walks out where you can have a good
look at him, he looks like giant Pre-
vious 10 the game the players amble
around and the rooters for one crowd
whisper fearfully that "the other fell
lows" are whoppers and look scared, but
"our fellows will win"
From that moment on the spectators
work harder than the players. The point
in the game Of football is to get the ball
and then give an imitation OF the flight
of a cannon ball as nearly as the human
form will permit. The result Of this
vancouver is that about every two min
utes a young man and a leather ball go
to the ground and twenty-one men casu-
ally pile up on him.
One OF. the interesting features OF the
play is that five minutes close attention
gives the spectator an understanding of
the game and throws him into that high
nervous disorder known as roofing"
Considering all the sports which please
the community the year around, the
curious point is the fidelity Of each man
to his own diversion. The man who casts
flies can see no enjoyment in baseball,
and the baseball enthusiast is not much
on horse racing. The horse racing devo-
tee goes to sleep at the mention Of golf
and the golf expert thinks football per-
fectly and brutally uninteresting.
So each man in his turn believes that
he has the only real recreation in the
world, and all are satisfied

he said: IF two English owners could
have been found to make so reckless a
match I would have been disqualified if

thing for Mr. Drake to make such a
match, and it is a tribute TO Mr.. Wish
ards possibilities that, under such pro-
hibitive conditions, his horse was so close
up

said to a representative OF the Associated
Press: II made the match In the interest
of sport alone. Many people in England
wanted to see the horses meet again, but
twenty-eight pounds weight is too much
to give away"
After the race Royal Flush was sold
for go guineas to Frank Gardner. an
Australian gold miner. who is starting
stable for Sloan. Mr.. Drake originally
paid 400 guineas for the horse.
At the Goodwood meeting John W.

company, won e100,OOO in bets on Royal

To the Editor of the Eagle.
AS I looked over the Eagle, its issues
of week ago today, I was struck with
its magnitude and comprehensiveness
| The first item that my eyes met was
| sixteen-page paper. which meant over
one hundred and two columns of type
printed matter. twenty-five hundred
inches, that would make a good-sized
book width of three columns, six inches
long, OF one hundred and twenty-five
pages. 1t contained Mark Hanna's speech
in Nebraska, Mr.. Bryan's speech at Buff
falo, Mr.. Roosevelt's speech at Baltimore
and one solid page of Oklahoma news.
The Eagles Oklahoma feature is remark
able and must be very satisfactory to its
readers in that territory. I have grown
familiar with the towns, its public men.
its state Institutions railroad building
and its rapid development generally from
the columns of the Eagle. Then follows
the editorial page, which for strength
and forcefulness no other newspaper can
boast of a better page. With its local
pages, noting important business changes.
local happenings, social, churches and
universities-a comprehensive report of
Saturday and Saturday night happen
ings, together with fifty columns Of ad-
vertisements of the city's merchants min
utely describing their wares, with prices
am led to say this is remarkable.
Forty to fifty thousand people
within radius of two hundred miles will
read today's Eagle. Some especially in
terested in this mans speech. some in
the other mans speech, some in the ed
itorials, others in the local and social
happenings, and all in the advertise
ments. Great is the Eagle
