WILSON COHORTS
MALIGN|NG CLARK
False Accusation FIoated in
Baltimore Clearly Refuted by
Congressional Record.
BY ALFRED HENRY LEWIS.

WASHINGTON. June 10.-There Will
be 1904 delegates in the Baltimore con-
vention. Of these instructed and
pledged, Clark has asa OF tho dele
gates who are unpledged aud unin-
structed. more than 100 have mani.
tested am intention 10 support Clark.
The nearest man to him is Wilson.
with 252 delegates pledged and IN
structed, to his credit The next near
est are Underwood, with 81. and Har-
mon, with 50 convention votes.
As the majority choice of the.conven-
ton and with the nomination within
certain reach. Clark is beginning to eN-
cite the desperate attention Of the Will
son supporters. Already they lie about

Carl Dannhouser. secretary of the Ger
man-American Alliance. of Brooklyn,
and Cornelius Ford president of the
New Jersey Federation of Labor These
three are Wilson shouters, and they are
spreading a lie about clark in connec-
tion with his attitude toward immigra-
ton
Lie About Clark Is Mailed.
TneN-the mendacious three-declare
and are having the declaration print
ed wherever and whenever editors gull
lble enough TO do so are discovered
that i'm the house debates upon the
immigration bin lately passed by the
senate, Clark used these words
Il believe in the restriction of
Immigration I am opposed to Eu-
ropean immigration coming into
This country that is not homogeneous
with our home people and that
We can not assimilate. ! believe
that the wise position to take with
reference to this matter is to adopt
an educational test that will large
ly eliminate the races from Medi-
terranean Europe. and will not in
terfere to any material extent with
the races of northern Europe COM
ing here-races Of whom we can
make good citizens"
The statement which puts these
words into the mouth Of Clark is a lie,
barefaced and bold. He entertains no
such sentiments. expressed no such
feeling. employed no such language
There is such d literary commodity
as The Congressional Record Also
there are house members who have
memories and to whose memories APP
peal can be made. Clark not only never
said what the Wilson three have as
| cribed to him, but he made no immi
grafton speech at all The Record not
only shows this. but house members
avow it. Clark being speaker. was not
heard upon immigration

BANKS interested
IN ROAD SITUATION
Association for Highway I'm.
provement Gets Many
opportunities.

The movement for better roads
throughout the country is proving in.
teresting to banks which are now
seeking information relating to financ.
ing road improvements in various Sec
tions and the effect Of such improve
ment on values of property and the
volume of business. Many old cal
culations based on values In various
sections have been altered by the
good roads movement.
Lee McClung. treasurer Of the Uni
ted States, is also treasurer of the
American Association for Highway
Improvement, which has received
many inquiries from banks. Mr.. Nc
Chung recently explained why the
road Improvement is attracting atten-
tion of financial institutions.
Last year," said Mr.. McClung, "the
expenditures for road improvement
aggregated s1a2,OOO,OO in the several
states. A large part of this great out
lay was represented by State, County
and township bonds. Financial trans
actions of such magnitude must con-
Germ our banking institutions. If the
securities are sound and the money
realized from them expended wise
ly and economically in needed i'm
provements they constitute excellent
Investments.
Bankers should join in the move
ment not merely for better roads but
also for such efficient road administra-
ton as will prevent wastefulness and
loss of road revenues. We need a
great deal Of reform in our methods
Of handling road revenues, and in this
respect the knowledge and experience
of the men who are trained in matters
of finance can be Of great help.
"Just as an Illustration of the effect
Of good roads on local securities" con-
tinued Mr.. McClung. II have been In
formed that in the Shenandoah Valley
the banks rarely make loans on real
estate unless it is located on pike,
SO closely has the idea Of a good road
and good security become associated.
A phase Of the good road situation but
little noticed was brought out some
time ago In a review Of trade condi-
lions in which 1t was stated that the
stringency of the money market was
more largely due to the slow collec-
lions because Of impossible ro1is
rather than to any form of commercial
unsoundness."

sEs lists.

Providence, KY, Feb. 2s.-One of the
Kentucky during the last five years
will be consumated in a few days
when the options on 5000 acres of coal
mining rights will be closed and $780,
900 will be paid the various Individual
owners. The names of the purchasers
are being withheld until the money
has changed hands. but many of the
farmers. who do not even know to
whom they are selling. believe that
Eastern capitalists are playing a
strong hand in the game.
The options on this territory. which
lays between Providence. in Webster
county. and Dalton. in southwestern
Hopkins county. were brought in by a
French syndicate over two years ago.
The 5000 acres included in this. the
first transaction Of the syndicate. Is
but q small part Of the area which the
French syndicate is reported to have
optioned.
This first section of 5000 acres. y

merely the first installment of titles
to be completed and approved. The
other sections Of the field will be taxi
en- over and paid for as soon as the
titles are in proper shape"
The action Of the socalled French
syndicate in taking over this property
Is causing local operators to keep their
ears close to the ground. That 1t for
shadows vast development in the next
few years to come is obvious and from
reliable sources 1t is limited that a new
railroad line will be built from Provi-
dence to Dawson Springs.
Prospect drillers have been busy
churning test holes in the optioned
field during the last year. The result
has been that a fine grade of coal has
been discovered to run consistently

According to estimates the cost Of pro-
duction will be low.
