promise Mrs Bond anything but not to use the senator's name. Earp said that he advised Mrs. Bond to leave Washington, but that she faiied to dc SO Earp said Senator Gore told him that the whole thing looked like a blackmailing scheme and that an Ok lahoman at the hotel was at the bot tom of it.
 Kirby Fitzpatrick took the stand and testified that he was in the Washington hotel on the day of the occurrence and that when he went up to his room his attention was call ed to what was transpiring in the ad- joining room. He stated that he looked through crack in the door and saw Senator Gore apparently try ing to kiss Mrs Bond. He then fur ther outlined what he said he saw occur in the room.
 On cross-examiantiOn he said that he had told friend of Cores that if Robertson was made deputy United States attorney in the eastern Okla homa district the matter would end. Fitzpatrick admitted having written to the attorney general of the United States about the trouble.
 Attorney T. E Robertson took the stand and corroborated the other wit nesses in his description of the ho- tel room scene and said that his en- mity to Gore was prompted because Gore had promised to recommend R A. Rogers for secretary of the de- partment of the intereior and then had failed to keep his promise
 Robertson admitted having 'cussed Gore" in Washington while riding past the capitol building. He denied having said to the Washington hotel keeper that he would get Gore" and denied having told F. w. Fischer or Oklahoma City that when Gore paid $25,000 to hush up the scandal he, Robertson, would be able to repay to Fischer the $245 he had borrowed for the purpose of making the trip to Washington.
 Robertson said that he thought the suit was the only way he, together with Fitzpatrick and Jacobs, could be eXonerated.
 Robertson was on the stand when court adjourned and wih probably take the stand Friday morning.

HOT SPRINGS VISITOR GIVES s1o.. 900 TO EXPLOIT STATE AT
 EXPOSITION.
IS RESIDENT OF ST LOUIS
His Contribution Is One-Fifth of the Amount Needed for an Exhibit- Judge kaVanauah Gives 5000, w. W. Waters, $25o.

On last Tuesday night at the meet ing Of the Business Mems Leaene a letter was read from Gov. Hays. as,. ing that Hot Springs send delegates to meeting to be held in Little Rock yesterday for the purpose of outlin. ing and financing campaign of pub licity for Arkansas at the San Fran. cisco exposition, there having been no state appropriation made to fur nish an exhibit from this state.
 At the time it was suggested that the committee, most of whom were volunteers, ought to be authorized to pledge some sort of financial aid to Gov. Hays plan, but this matter was not definitely settled, and at the close of the meeting other volunteer de,e. gates were asked to join the commit tee to attend the Little Rock meet ing.
 At least one volunteer, visitor to Hot Springs. joined the committee. and today every resident of Arkansas will hear about that volunteer and the manner in which he jumped into the game to put Arkansas in the lime light at the Panama exposition.
 Russell Gardner. the St. Louis buggy manufacturer, visitor in Hot Springs at the present time, was the volunteer in question, ami he sub scribed $10,000, or one1ifth the sum required to finance the exhibit at San Francisco. There were no con ditions attached to the gift.
 MT. Gardner is not even resident of Arkansas, but he is an annual vis- itor to Hot Springs, and he loves this resort and the state in which it IS located. He desires to see Arkan- sas properly expIoited at the exposi- tion and his generous gift has made it possible.
 Among Arkansans who gave gener- ously to the project were Judge W. M. Kavanaugh of Little Rock, who pledged 5000; ex4Mayor W. w. Wa ters of Hot Springs, who gave s250; Col. s. w. Fordyce, who promised d generous donation, and others.
 Gov. Hays announced at the close Of the meeting last night that he had large number of pledges from over the state which would without doubt complete the $50,00O fund, aud he was convinced that the exhibit would be made, and that 1t would be credit to the state.
 All Arkansas will praise MT Gard ner for his generosity. Certainly it was his magnificent subscription that made the raising of the needed fund a certainty.

Determined to get back of propo- sitions and boost for Hot Springs, to make it greater city in every way advancing it's interests a. all times, large delegation of the leadinH young men of the city met last night in the Business Men's League and organized the Young Mems Chamber of Commerce.
 This organization is the outero~th of a movement that was stalte' aoouI a week ago. when the idea met With such general appreciation that those who promulgated it, seeing the oppor- tunity for an active organization or the younger and more progressive ele- ment cf the city, 1etarmjaed to carry it through to a successful conelu sion.
 The new organization went on rec ord as favoring many enterprises las' night, but. summed up conclseiy I' can be stated the principal object IS to boost for Hot Springs. It Will in nc sense be political in thought or intent. That fact was emphatically impressed upon all present last nigh' The new organization even went so far as to prohibit in it's constitution which section by section, was amend ed and adopted, any politlcal all nouncement during a session, or any discussion on politics or church mat ters. No one who is candidate loi office either eiective or appointive can hold office in the Young Meh Chamber of Commerce. Its members feel, eyidenty, that politics ana NH dred subjects they have taoooed are responsible for what retrnsressloh this city has made in the past anu they do not intend to be caught lac ing the same conditions

COULD SMASH THE
 BRITISH EMPIRE
IN A DAYS DEBATE BY ATTACK iNG THE AUTONOMY OF ITS
 DIFFERENT PARTS.

London, Feb. 12-"You could cas- fly smash the British empire in a days debate in parliament if you tried to interfere with the autonomy grant ed to it's various parts" was the statement today of Lewis Harcourt secretary for the colonies in paria- ment. He was replying to an amend ment moved by the labor members in the house of commons to the ad. dress in reply to the kings speech.
 The labor members had urged tha, the government withhold it's assent to the bill of Premier !.outh Botha of South Africa indemnifying the South African government for it's act in deporting the labor leaders after the recent general strike there.
 Without defending the act of the Botha government, MT. Harcourt pointed out that there were in South Africa only 1,25O.O00. whites to 5,000,- 900 natives, who, when work had ceased at the mines, became hungry and dangerous. He added.
 That is the sort of volcano on which every one was sitting in South Africa"
 MT. Harcourt declined to advise the king to withhold his sanction from the bill if it passed and he de- clared that such advice would be en- tirely unjustifiable. He urged the speakers during the debate to be care ful of the sensitiveness of the self governed dominions and to refrain from saying anything derogatory to an autonomious government.

 There was considerable delay in getting under way due to the fact that all were anxious to perfect a good working organization and sug- gestions were numerous. When the ljconstitution was read it was seen that too much power was centered in the board of governors, and this feature was immediately curtailed
 There were several who addressed the meeting on this subject, City At torney Leo P. Mclaughlin leading the fight against the proposition to give the board of governors the power it was believed the constitution as first read would give.
 When it came to the election of a secretary, which, by the way, will enttle that officer to compensation, the suggestion was made that few have had time to think of men for that important office, and a commit i tee was appointed to select four men to recommend ts the organization at it's next regular meeting, stating the qualifications of those selected and the reason why they believed any one of the four would make a good officer A motion to that effect was adopted. \ ' 8Sl
 There was a decided sentiment for the election of MT. Callahan for pres ident. He had been an important fac tor in forming the organization. It was he who read the constitution, and 1 when his name was placed in nomina- 1 tion by Alderman Sam Williamson, it was l\eted with continued cheers and applause. MT. Callahan thanked the young men for the honor they had conferred upon him and in turn nom- mated Mir. Latta, who however, asked that MT. Callahan be elected The election of all officers, after each bal lot, was made unanimous.
 So many amendments were offered last night to the constitution that it is impossible to present this docu- ment to the public at this time. It will be published later. Suffice to state, the young men of the city have made a most excellent start They have formed themselves into an or ganization that should be a factor in the future life of the city and one that certainly deserves every encour- agement at the hands of everyone who hopes to see realized the object of the Young Mems Chamber of Com merce. greater, more beautiful and more noted Hot Springs
