BITTER ATTACK
MADE ON
BAILEY
SOLICITOR PENFIELD SAYS
BAILEY MADE STATEMENTS
WHICH HE KNEW AT THE
TIME WERE UNTRUE.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. July 3.-Solici-
tor Penfield, of the state department. the
official who figured I'm the colloquy be-
tween Senators Bailey and Beverage on
Monday, which colloquy later resulted In
a personal encounter. has taken step
which may have the effect of producing
some very unpleasant developments and
which event will go a long way toward
preventing a possible reconciliation be-
tween the senators from Texas and In
diana.
Penfeld was appointed to his present
position at the instance of Senator'S Bev-
eridge and Fairbanks. and is a warm
personal friend of the former. which fact
was responsible for Beveridges action
in characterizing Bailey's criticism OF
Penfeld as an "unwarranted attack.
Beveridge was entirely willing to let
the whole matter drop after he had been
chastised by the Texas senator, but PEN
field is still bellicose as is shown by the
fact that he has issued and had published
a statement which Is calculated to cause
further trouble. In this statement Pen
field says that Bailey's charge that Pen
field refused TO furnish him with an Of
flee copy OF a contract inclosed in one OF
Ambassador Clayton's dispatches to the
state department, is untrue in its sub
stance and spirit" and that he (Bailey
knew II perfectly we'll when he made the
charge in the senate"
Further along in this statement Pen
field says:
THE truth OF the matter is that Sena-
tor Bailey set out some months ago to
remove General Clayton from his office
because General Clayton would not take
instructions from him instead of the sec
rotary of state. If had Joined with Sem
ator Bailey in his condemnation OF AM
bassador Clayton, whose record before the
department for fidelity, discretion and ef-
fclency is most excellent, he would have
omitted his assault upon me in the SEN
ate"
The most remarkable part Of the state
ment, however, is as follows:
Senator Bailey is one Of those men who
go hunting for trouble and this is simply
one Of the spasmodic displays of assinni-
ty in which he INDUCES at regular pc
RODS"
1t is understood this morning that the
president has taken cogn.zance Of the
matter and that Penaeld may be severely
reprimanded or, perhaps, dismissed.
Senator Bailey has been out Of the city
for the past two days. but he is expected
to return this afternoon. Penfield is an
old man and on that account the prospects
of a personal encounter between him and
the Texas senator seem rather remote.
The affair has created a tremendous
amount of interest, however, and develop
ments are being eagerly looked for.
