SOME TART TESTIMONY.
But the Clark Contest Proceedings
Were Not Up to Previous Day.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Clark In
vestigation today did not reach the point
of interest attained yesterday. The prln-
cipal witness was Mr.. Peter Cooper one
Of Clark's managers in the campaign. He
is resident of Representative Hartman's
home town, BoZeman.
There were some lively tits to relieve
what would otherwise have been COM
monpIace story Mr.. Faulkner sought, In
behalf of Senator Clark to reopen the
question as to Senator Whiteside's effort
at bribery during his own election, but
the committee adjourned for the day
without deciding on the question of rele-
vancy.
Mr. Cooper said he had received no pay
for his services in support of Mr.. Clark,
but that Clarks son Charlie had paid his
hotel bill. He had kept memorandum
of his expenses during the campaign, but
he had destroyed or mislaid it.
Mr. Hartman asked the witness what
debts he had Hquidated since the adjourn
ment of the Legislature He at nrst re-
fused to answer, saying:
THAT is my private business and none
of yours. To the committee would say
that / will tell you anything | can OF
a public nature, but I will not let this
man parade my private business from
one end of the country to the other.
He did say however he had PAID Sz4,-
900 in debts from money he mad secured
from the sale of the Bozeman water
plant and 5000 he had borrowed from
senator Clark. For this debt he had
given his note, and expected to pay the
note when due, having given his milling
company stock as security.

This was half way home, and gave
Cooper II to 8. From this out Cooper

Then to make matters worse he accused
