ARGUMENT OF OLARK'S CASE
His Counsel Insists That the Whole
Case Against Him Was Due
IN Gnnsnir

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Attorney Biz
new continued his argument In the case of
Senator Clark, of Montana, before the
committee on elections today. He was
followed by Rogers Foster in Clark's be-
half Forter's plea was quite sensational
IN It's donunciation OF the prosecution
against Clark Congressman Campbell
was denounced In unmeasured terms, AS
was Whiteside. Attorney General Nolan
and Speaker Stln. There was an effort
he said to make II appear that Clark was
protlieate and more corrupt than any OF
the veritable counts OF Monte Cristo. But
this was all untrue. Montana was not "a
modern Sodom and Gomorrah, and these
people were bringing upon themselves the
deserved upprobrium that falls upon the
head Of the bird that fouls its nest, as
they do IN thus casting aspersions upon
their state.
Foster then turned his attention TO the
law in the case He asserted that IL all
the testimony taken were true II would
not affect Clarks right to his seat In the
senate, and proceeded TO sustain this prop
ositlon by elaborate presentation OF his
authorities.
Continuing Foster said the defense
would not be satisfied with a mere ac-
uuittal They wanted and expected a
complete vindicatlon. He then made an
EFFORT to prove the conspiracy. which
charge he claimed was supported by
proof Of threats before and after Clarks
election and by its probability TO satisfy
Ru ancient grudge Foster had not con
cluded when the committee adjourned for
the day.

NEW YORK, April 5.-Gold Democratic

generally friendly to him. Abraham S.

What | am concerned about" said w.
Bourke Cochran, "is the platform Admiral
Dewey may run on. To my mind that's
the whole question at present. He would
make a good president If he stands for the
right thing and has the backing of q good
platform. With sound platform / should

Admiral Dewey stood firmly against the
colonial policy of the present administra-
able and successful.
Gen. ID. E. S1ckels says that Admiral
Dewey's declaration creates a very inter-

convention can scarcely refuse TO profit
by.

A SEASON OF TUcKING.
without This Form of
Trimming.

The proverbial search for the needle
in the haystack is simple calculation
compared to the finding of design
in the repertoire of fashionable sum
mer waists that has not for it's gar
niture some form of tuclxing. The
trimming is used in every manner
imaginable, from the single tuck two
inches wide on each side Of the 'front.'
of the bodice TO the tiny groups inter-
spersed with rows of delicate inser-
ton, says Helen Grey-Page, in the
Chicago Evening News
Upon wash waists tucking is very
tastefully arranged in yokes, the deep,
square ones being most fashionable.
THERE are seen, however, several round
designs, but these are to be avoided,
since they SAVIOR of last years modes.
One Of the prettiest uses that tuck
ing can be put to is shown upon the
new silk waists. The goods is pinched
up in tiny little tuclxs scarcely larger
than cords, and, in fact, they closely
simulate a corded garniture.
For evening bodices tucking is al
most exclusively used. The tuclSs are
very narrow, and are finished with
very narrow edging of real lace or a
tiny frill of accordion plated chiffon.
Thenthere is the very popular meth
cd of arranging the entire waist-front |
and back, in small tucl1s. This style |
is very popular this year.
When laundering tucked wash
waists it may be profitable to know
that the task may be greatly simpli-
fed by running a basting thread
through the groups of tueks before
they ire put into the water This
