But recently the Telegram con-
vieted the News Of some OF the mos
giaring faisehoods. ever published IN
any newspaper. but that paper seems
not satisfied 70 correct L sfaults but
preefrs TO sink deeper into the mire
in this respect. Painful as Il q, r.
nov becomes onr duty TO show up
It's ssehoods once more to the pub
lie. Among these Is the unwarrant-,
ed attack It made on an estee1s1
Citizen IN It's Saturday fssue eonSsfn-
ing the Thanlssitans service here.
The News bases It's vicious attack
on this gentleman on the erroneous
belief that he reported the services
for the Telegram That paper vir-
tuaIly admits that 90 much Of the
speech Of Harvey E1armer on that 90
CASTOR as reported In the Telegram
was correct Il says the Telegranl's
report began at the point Of the
speech, where that paper claims the
gentleman attacked entered the
church.

TERED THE CHURCH WHILE MR..
lHARNER WAS NJ THE MIDST OF
HIS ADDRESS,
The gentleman referred to was IN
| the church some time before Mr.
Harmer began TO speak. ne entered
while Miss Haymalxer was singing.
The Rev. Snow made introductory
remarks after that. he heard those
remarks. He also heard DR.. Hui
LEY speak. Then there was song.
after which Nj. Hammer spoke. he
heard the speech. But he did not
report It to the Telegram, nor any
part Of 1t, ana thus does the NeWa
ialsify In that respect The gentle
man attacked Il meant to be 8.

made by the News.
And, now let us proceed to NEAR

Mr. Reed & the gentleman the rSeWa
