Five witnesses testified before the

The other members did not attend.
Most Of the testimony was hearsay

Charlie Clapper, former inmate, told
story of abuse which he claims he re-

the school about three years. He says
he was beaten one night by Assistant

Of bed twice to add to the punishment,
striking and kicking him till his nose and
mouth bled and he was sick for two days.
North, the teacher recently discharged,
struck him with the heavy end Of a strap
and a loose rivet cut his arm, leaving a
scar which he exhibited to Mr.. Lee.
Miss Dolson, a kitchen superintendent,
threw a butcher knife at Clapper, he says.
and made cash in his scalp, leaving a.
scar. Mrs. Clapper, mother of the boy,
appeared to corroborate his story.
Mrs. Thomas HenneRerry, of $50 e

Washington, Jan. 24.-There is threat
that the fight over the money question
which caused the adjournment of the last
democratic caucus will be renewed at the
one to be held tonight. The committee
which was appointed at the caucus to con
slider resolutions presented by the mem
bers will report a resolution favoring no
definite action at this time. Members
from Texas and other southern states are
not satisfied with this report. They want
the Kansas City platform, with it's dec
laration on the money question, subsidies
and reciprocity, adopted by the minority
as part of it's policy for this congress-.
Eastern democrats, notably those from
New York, will favor the committees re-
port. So will the democrats from Loui-
siana. The latter will not be bound by
any action which will prevent them from
opposing reciprocity with Cuba or any
proposed legislation looking to reduc-
tton OF the duties on Cuban sugar. They
will be backed by democrats from west
ern states who represent constituencies
interested in the beet sugar industry. +
Prominent republicans in the house are
hopeful that there will be split or that
the extreme wing of the democratic party
will be able to control the caucus and
bind the democrats to the old Chicago and
Kansas City platforms. The republicans
fear that if the committees report is
adopted it will mean gains of many con-
gressional seats in the house. If the
democratic candidates are allowed to make
campaigns on issues suited to their To-
calities there will be accessions to the
democratic ranks in Maryland, New York

Laurent touched at those islands; but was
off the Venezuelan coast on board the
