,ANTI.cLARK COMBINE ALLEGED.
Speakers Supporters Declare Bryan is
Party to the Alliance

Party to tho Alliance.
Washington, May 10.-The cry has
now gone up from the Clark people
that there is combination Of candi-
dates to defeat the speaker in the
baltimore convention and that William
]. Bryan is party to this alliance. The
Nebraskan is not a candidate but he
is near enough to one, they say to
have direct interest in preventing the
nomination of the speaker.
Evidences of the alliance" have
been observed in the state Of Wash
ington, where the Bryan people united
with Governor Wilson to prevent the
delegates being instructed for the
speaker. When it was found that the
combination had failed movement
was started to instruct the delegates
for Colonel Bryan himself, and this
nearly succeeded.
kilograms have been received at
Clark headquarters indicating that fear
Of combination against him prevails
in several sections Of the country. The
Clark managers profess not to be
alarmed but they are doing a lot of
careful watching.
While Clark is leading, It is not be-
lieved that he or any other candidate
will go to Baltimore with the neces-
sary wo-thirds, but that the question
Of who is to be nominated will be de-
ter;nined after the convention has be-
gun balloting. The Clark managers
are paying less attention to Wilson as
the days go by, and are beginning to
be anxious about the attitude Of Bryan.

ADMITS DESTROYING EVIDENCE
Officer Of Wire Company Admits Or
derina Records Burned.

New York, May 1O.-The question as
TO whether officers OF the American
Steel and Wire Company ordered the
destruction Of the evidence used in the
So called Jackson wire pool cases be-
fore or after the filing of the pending
dissolution suit against the United
States Steel Corporation was answered
Yesterday. Frank Baackes, vice presi-
dent of the wire company, testified be-
fore Commissioner Brown that he had
given the order to George A. Cragin,
his assistant sales manager at Wor-
cesterf, Mass. in September or early
! in October last The suit was filed on
Oct. 26.
Baackes testified further that he had
given orders after the dissolution of
the wire pools three years ago for the
destruction of all papers connecting his
company with the pools operations,
but that the order had been only part
ly executed. 1t was due to this over
sight that the papers now in question
came into the hands OF the govern
ment.
This testimony came somewhat as q
surprise as it was elicited by the steel
Corporations attorneys after they had
fought to prevent Baackes from an
swering questions regarding the date
Of his visits to Worcester. where the
papers were burned by Harry A.
Whitney, subordinate who subse-
quently resigned.

This is the third consecutive calam-

les and 4.391 native breaches.
