Neither have the members of the con-
stttutionalist junta here yet received

SENATOR'S CLERKS
ALSO OWN STOCK
EMPLOYEES BOOSTED NORTH
CAROLINA GOLD MINE ON Off
CTAL STATIONERY.

Washington July CLERKS in the
offices of Senator 0verman. Of North
Carolina, and Senator Chiffon. of West
Virginia, owned stock in the North
Carolina gold mine which was ex-
plotted on official stationery OF the
senate This fact was brought out to-
day by the special investigating COM
mittee which was appointed following
the disclosure of the misuse OF the
senate letter-heads.
Today's development establishes this
interesting chain of circumstances:
senator 0verrnan and Senator Chill
ton own stock in the North Carolina
gold mine. so also do employees in
their offices: relatives Of the two SEN
ators are associated in the manage
ment OF the mining property, and the
stationery Of the TWO committees Of
which the senators are Chairmen was
used in exploiting the property.
Senator Overman and Senator Chill
ton both appeared on the stand today,
and under oath testified that they
knew nothing about the use Of their
committee stationery in this way un-
til it was called TO their attention
shortly before the publication OF the
Washington dispatches. In this state
mcnt the two senators were supported
by the employees in their offices, who
assumed entire responsibility for the

Both senators denied also that they
ever had made any effort to boom or
sell the stock. Senator Overman de-
clared that his secretary had bought

that he had little gold bricks which

is taken here as an Indication OF the
real seriousness of the situation
In the past Carranza has sat upon
his dignity This time, with the march
against Mexico City held up by Villas
tactics. Carranza Is supposed to have
realized the necessity for urgent action,
hence his trip to the seat of trouble.
Supporters of villa. when they heard
the story of CarTanza going. did not
regard such trip as unlikely. they
said, for they contend that Villa has
been gricv0usly wronged by Carranza.
and those about him assert that it is
up to Carranza to settle things, not
Villa to go to Carranza.
It is realized that Villa holds the
