Boston. Aug. 3l.-The amalgama-

Sneaker CHAMP CLARK il

Speaker Champ Clark is getting
scored rather severely because of his
childish threat about cutting of the
appropriation for the tariff board
Speaker Clark is one of the most
popular men in Congress, not only
with his own party, but with his OPP
ponents and those who know him
know he has a habit OF occasionally
making a quick tempered little remark
now and then which he doesn't really
mean. However. as Mr. Clark is
usually the first to acknowledge his
weakness 1t is not laid up against him
as 1t is with most men.

PAYS FOR FOREST DAMAGE
Brooklyn Concern Gives State $4,000
for Cutting Of Trees

Albany, Aug. 30.-The action insti-
tuted by the state against the Union
Bag Paper company OF Hudson Falls
was settled today by the payment by
the company of $4,000 to the state
conservation commission, together
with the release of all the right which
the company claimed in certain lands
located in Township 4, Hamilton coun
ty.
The suit was brought in April for
penalties and damages caused by the
cutting of large number of soft
trees on state lands. The company
claimed the right to cut the timber
under the terms of an agreement
which ran with the property at the
time Of its purchase by the state. The
state contended that this agreement
had expired.
The settlement was approved by
the supreme court and Gov Dix. The
commission says the actual damage
caused by the company amounted to
only $4,000. 1t believes the severity
Of the penalty imposed will tend to
discourage repetition of the offense.

Burlington, Aug. 3O.--Seven Bur
lingtonians headed by Clarence J.

the force OF their contention, decided
not to put them Off the train.
One member OF the party wandered
