Morgan Horse Club Held It's
Annual Meeting; E. A.
Darling President

White River Junction, Sept. l2.-Iov
Percval w Clement, ex-Gor Samuel 81
pinaree and ex.Gov. Allen NJ. Fletcher
were spectators and guests at the Yer
mont state fair yesterday.
II was governors day and his ex-
cellency and the two ex -excelencies were
very much interested in what they saw
and liberal with applause as the big
horse and cattle cavalcade passed the
grand stands
Governor Clement motored over from
Rutland with members of his family and
several guests, arriving on the grounds
at 1890. When they arrived to take
seats in boxes on the grand stand the
band played america and everybody
stood at attention with uncovered heads.
The day opened with heavy, drifting
rain clouds and heavy track as re-
suit of an almost all nights rain, and
the prospects of a crowd we're decidedly
dubious. Yet, before the noon hour
there were $4,000 persons on the grounds
and Dusty" Miller, the superintendent
of the auto parks, had placed over 1000
machines.
The running of drags and automobiles
over the track put it in fairly good CON
dition; but it was far from being at its
best. The first feature on the track
was the grand cayalcade of Morgan
horses, thoroughbreds and heavy draft
horses. The Morgan exhibit was espe-
cially fine, demonstrating the fact that
the Morgan breed of edtlines is fast com
ing back into its own. The parade Of
prize-winning cattle showed exclusively
that Vermonters are breeding better and
more extensively than they have in the
past.
Lieut.. Lynch, the aviator, was in the
air much Of the time throughout the
afternoon. In making landing, after a
trip with a passenger, he ran into the
inside fence of the track and shattered a
brace of one of the planes. The pro.
peller, when the plane stopped, was fast
against a fence post but fortunately the
damage to the machine was slight, easily
and quickly repaired and the flights were
continued
The annual meeting of the Morgan
Horse club was held in the administra-
tion building yesterday afternoon. The
officers elected for the ensuing year ares
Elmer A. Darling, president; Spencer
Borden, j. G. Brunk, J. r. Steers, A. r.

ner, members of the board of governors
to serve until 1921
Decidedly interesting were the three
trotting features yesterday afternoon.
The 2:2l pace brought under the wire
four very well matched horses and the
time, considering the condition Of the
track, was remarkably fast. In the 2:ls
named pace five heats were necessary to
determine the winner.

Des Moines, July 12-After hearing
the arguments OF the attorneys In the
pierce Clum controversy Friday the
retrenchment and reform committee
delegated with the duty OF tnvestigat-
ing these charges, went into executive
session following the noon adjourn
ment to discuss the framing of their
report. They remained In session until
late in the evening.
The various phases OF the case and
the evidence were gone over by the
committee as n whole and portions of
a report were dictated to a stenog-
rapher. Just when the full report
will be ready is not as yet indicated by
the committee.
In his arguments to the committee
Friday Attorney Robert Haines stuck
to his original charges that the ac-
counts were not properly reported nor
all funds accounted for. He said that
the Homestead had not undertaken
this with any other idea than that an
investigation should be made and they
were before the committee not as
prosecutors but to present the evidence
they had for investigation.
The attorneys for the commission
and for Woodwork Cfum urged not
only full eXhonoration of the members
of the commission or its officers from
the charge of improper handling OF
funds but declared further that they
should be given recognition for hav-
ing done a big thing for the state in
managing the Iowa exhibit. They
declared the evidence showed that all
funds had been accounted for.
Judge Bolnger of Davenport said ii
was q serious thing to make these
charges against these officers and
Woodwork Clum has stood them fol-
two years. He declared the evidence
had not substantiated them.
Attorney b. F.. Swisher, Of Waterloo,
in arg uilly oil behalf of the commits
sion, declared that the charges should
not be allowed to stand and that such
attacks would stitle the spirit OF pub
lie service.
Attorney Emmett FINLEY. of Council
Bluffs, went into legal points of the
controversy and declared that under
the statute the commission was given
full administrative authority and tha
they had the right to use the state
appropriation in paying their officials

Montezuma, July IA few years

The church is located in the midst
