"Yes sir"
Mr.. Ralston asked facetiously If
that was the witness conception of a
lobby. Mr.. Penton admitte dthat he
had a hig hopinion of the integrity
Of congress, despite the American
Flags publication of references to
sinister and corrupting influence"
and to colossal foreign lobbies." He
pointed out that no publication en-
dorses all that it publishes.
Mr.. Penton said that If Senator Bur-
ton had charged that the merchant
marine bill was tainted" he had
said what was untrue.
He identified letters that had pass
ed between the league and Repre-
sentative Borland of Missouri, in
which Mr.. Borland had declined to
receive a copy of the American Flag
on the ground that it abused the Sec
ond class mail privileges, and a re-
ply from the league that if that was
intended as an insult to the league,
the December number, about to is
sue, might pay its respects to him.

LATER MEMORIAL SERVICE
OR THE DEAD hUM0R|ST
Those Who Cherish the Memories OF
the Years Of His Friendship VIII
Pay Tribute to the Dead Humorist,
Philosopher and Citizen.

New York. April 23.-Services as
simple as his wholesome life attend
ed the tributes paid here today to
Samuel l.. Clemens mark Twain) the
author, humorist, philosopher and
citizen OF the world.
New York city was but stopping
place in the dead authors last jour
ney. as his body was brought here
from his home at Redding. Conn,
where he died, to be taken to Elmira,
n. Y. for burial. But it was here
that the chiefest expression was to be
found of the loving regard in which
Mark Twain was held by the Ameri-
can people and that the fullest oppor-
tunity to do his memory honor was
afforded. The brick Presbyterian
church at Fifth and Thirty-Seventh
street was the place selected for the
funeral services this afternoon, ana
two close friends Of Samuel L. Glenn
ems in life were chosen to voice the
grief of the throng at his death and
to speak the eulogies which were
echoed by the heart throbs Of the
thousands. This honor fell to Rev.
DR.. Henry VanDyke, formerly pastor
of the church and now professor of
English literature at Princeton uni
versity, and DR.. Jos. H. Twitchell of
Hartford City, which for seventeen
years was the authors home.
Although the church seats 1,2O0
persons. it was by no means large
enough to contain all who had de-
sired to see for the last time the face
OF Mark Twain. In keeping with the
known sentiments of Mr.. Clemens
there was no vocal music and no pail
bearers. Two organ selections,
brief prayers and a few words of
eulogy constituted the service. Al.
ter the services the body was placed
on the train: to be taken. 70 FL
mira, where second service, as SIM
pie as the first, will be conducted ON
Sunday afternoon.
The burial will be in the Clemens
lot in the Elmira cemetery, whAe
Mrs. Clemens and the children Of the
couple are buried.
Within the next ten days q public
opportunity will be given for the
numbers unable to attend the sery-
ices today to show their respects for
Mr.. Clemens. This will be at the
memorial service arranged by many
we'll known men who cherish the
memories of the years of friendship
with the author. The program of this
meeting will include brief addresses
by the admirers of Clemens humor
and wisdom.
