HUB SAYS FELDER'S ALTAR
FORMER DISPENSARY CHIEF is
NOT CAREFUL OF WORDS.
Blease No Fool.-Ready to Give Sat
isfaction to Enemies Any Time
and Any Place.

and Any Place.
Columbia, June 6.-It was 1
o'clock this afternoon before the dis
pensary commission convened. Men,
bers of the old board had been sum-
moned to appear and produce all
vouchers and other original records
in their possession. The supreme
court handed down this morning the
written order affirming the oral or
der of Chief Justice Jones in the con-
tempt case against former Chairman
Murray. The court says that DR..
Murray can not be held in contempt
because the commission, while it
could require him to produce the
vouchers for examination, could not
make him give up the custody Of the
documents, the title to which re-
mains in him.
Hub H. Evans when asked about
Thomas B. Felder's article CRITICS.
ing Gov. Blease made the following
statement in writing: eyes, I read
Felder's article in the Atlanta Consti-
tuition. do not know to whom the al
legged letter was written to as the ad-
dressee's name is not given by Eel
der. AS far as the Hub is con-
cerned in the said letter, I presume
that it applied to Hub H. Evans, as
he was the only man of the name Of
Hub that was ever on the board Of di-
rectors.
Uses Short and Ugly Word.
Fielder and the addressee are
both Infamous liars, as I have never
turned over to Cole L. Blease $500,
or any other moneys, and there Is
no man living in the world knows
better than Tom Fielder that I did
not do it. If I had done so, every
man who knows Blease knows he
would have had too much sense to
have acknowledged it in writing, for
whatever else may have been or may
be said of him, not even his bitterest
political enemies have accused him
Of being a fool.
"Not only that; what inducement
could have possibly been brought
upon me to deliver over to Cole l..
Blease $500, or any other moneys?
All my friends and enemies know
that Hub Evans did not give Cole L.
Blease, or any other man $500, and
another thing; I know that the Ian
guage published in the letter as to
my not being reliable in all my finan-
cial dealings was not used by Blease
for he knows that am reliable in all
my financial dealings.
Ready to Give Satisfaction.
81 do not care to take further no
tice of Fielder, but am ready and pre-
pared to meet him and his associates
on any charge that he may make, as
I have been endeavoring to do by
clamoring for a hearing before the
winding-up commission and demand
ing a trial in the courts, both OF
which have been denied me, knowing
the fact that the Constitution Of both
the United States and my State guar
antee me the right to fair public
and speedy trial. All of this has been
repeatedly denied me by the commis-
sion, and the circuit judges who have
held courts in the Eighth circuit.
II have been so lied upon, insulted
by insinuations and lying charges by
Fielder and his crowd that now call
for a showdown. The limit is reach
ed. If Fielder or the addressee OF
the said alleged letters published in
the Atlanta Constitution feels ag-
grieved at my language, am ready
to give them personal satisfaction at
any time, any place they or either OF
them may DESIRE"
The commission has engaged an
expert accountant and he is check
ing up the vouchers submitted for In
spection by the old commission. It
is understood that the commission
hopes to show that Fielder was over
paid and to reveal other irregulari-
ties. The old commission made it
clear in filing the vouchers for exam
ination that custody Of them was not
surrendered.
