Though Charges Made Are
Quickly Proved False, They
Are Not Withdrawn.
BY ALFRED HENRY LEWIS.

WASHINGTON, June IL The
friends Of Speaker Clark are becoming
a bit impatient at the falsehoods which
some of the Wilson promoters are now
bringing to the aid of their candidate.
Having failed to build Wilson up, they
now seek to tear Clark down.
They are using every small and lying
method at their command. One recent
example was when Senator OGorman
gave a dinner to Mayor Gaynor at the
Willard. At that dinner Gaynor made
a speech declaring the primary election
law a failure. Clark, replying to Gay
nor, defended the primary election law.
The next morning a Wilson paper as
cribed to Clark the words which Gay
nor had uttered and the sentiments
which Gaynor had expressed.
Then there is that broad sheet OF
falsehood, the lying Woodrow Wilson
circular which for two months has
been given nation wide circulation To-
day / asked LATE Pence. who knows
more Of Clark's canvass as well as of
Clark's sentiments and record than
most men what should be said in reply
to the circular.
Circular Sent Broadcast.
LAS to that circular sent broadcast
through Massachusetts and Maryland,
said Mr.. Pence, the Clark campaign
in Massachusetts was in the hands OF
Representative Curley, of Boston. Al
his request, the Clark national man.
agement sent several speakers into
Massachusetts,. and among others there
at the close of the campaign were
Representatives Graham of Illinois;
Ferris, of oklahoma; BorIand, of Mis-
souri,, and myself
We got some copies of the circular
AS soon as we read them we knew
that the statements therein contained
were false. Everybody else must have
known they were false, too. as the next
days primary vote for Clark and Will
son showed Clark beating him to /.
No Speech on immigration.
referring to the falsehoods carried
in the circular. the most important
perhaps, is the one which pretends tc
quote from speech of Clark's, said by
the Wilson circular to have been deliv-
cred by Clark on the floor of the house
when the immigration bill was up fol
discussion. AS a matter of fact, Clark
took no part whatever in the discus
sion of the bill There was no roll call
upon the question.
so far as the Wilson circular is
concerned. the authors falsely put the
words ascribed to Clark into Clark's
mouth. The whole thing was a fiat
fake and merely a Wilson propaganda
effort to hurt Clark with fiat lie.
THE charge made by the Wilson cir
cular that at Trenton Clark declared
that somebody ought to shoot Mark
Hanna was whole cloth lie. 1t was
as much manufactured by the Wilson
ties as were the other falsehoods which
have been noticed"

MAN FINED
FOR NIGHT FIGHT

Following the trial in police court
of John R Wardlaw. the expelled Tech
student. and his payment of fine of
s2575 for attacking and beating c. R.
Conacher. another student at night, all
is serene today at Tech
Both Conachel and Wardlaw say
they are satisfied. and there1l probably
be no further action by the faculty
Nearly 100 Tech students attended
the trial yesterday afternoon in police
court. but there was no demonstration
of any kind in favor Of either Of the
two principals. The college boys APP
peared in the court room in a body.
WarcIaw Pleads Justification
Wardlav made no denial of his as
saut on Conacher explaining that he
was iustined by reason of reports made
to the faculty by Cunacher, who is
student supervisor in the gymnasium.
Wardlaw said these reports of breaches
of discipline had resulted in his dis
charge from the institution
Nardlaw also admitted that he had a
night with Conacher in the gymnasium
two weeks ago. al the time he was
dropped from the roll Ii was shown
that. ON Conachers report WardlaW
had been given three "otfenses. or bad
marks-one for entering the gym with
out his shirt. another for wearing his
shoes in the gym, and the third for
improperly handling the basket ball
Wardlau was also reported for his
night i'm the sym. and then he was
dropped.
Revenge for Grudee Seen.
Wardlaw told the court that Coma
cher mad used his authority TO even
up personal srudge by reporting him
and that nc decided he would ayenge
himself With his fists. Conacher de
ned hc had any srudge against Ward
law. and said he had merely done his
duty
Judge Broyles in imposing the fine
said Wardlaw had no right to take the
/ laV IN his own hands. and that the
midnight assault was uniustitied.

NEW STRIKE
NEAR TOWN
Blind Vein Uncovered That
Shows Promise.

The finding Of the vein on the
ground, about one-half mile
north of town, last week, caused
some surprises among the pros
pectors, as this ground has been
held and prospected for years,
and nothing but hard work has
ever been found there.
All this ground has been
trencFed from the Buster side
line to the bottom Of the gulch,
and nothing but rich float has
ever been found, VIM. Bathurst,
Sherman Whitaker and L. A.
Strong, started work last week,
when they were fortunate to
come upon the vein after a few
days work.
After the vein had been located
it was found that great deal of
the work had been done upon or
very near the vein, which is
covered with about ten feet of
surface SOIL, and at one point a
shaft had been sunk that stopped
just , as the vein was reached,
and at another point the vein had
been stripped for quite a dis
tance.
The vein as it is now opened
up is about A fit. wide, and the
ore is a lead-sulphide, which
usually carries very high values
in this country. but no assays
have yet been made. So far M
ore has been found that will pan
but it is the intention of. thu
owners to continue prospecting
and see if a free shoot can no
be opened up, as there is SOM
float that will pan, and a small
gulch that runs close to the ven
