being neglected.

Peu, rs the party Of all the people
There 10 no group so rich that it can
buy US, and no group SO numerous that
1t can intimldate US"

tion of city ticket this year nor with
Congressmen and Senators next wear.

Press Club Head
Admits He Issued
Inaccurate Letter
Declared Second Mortgage
Was Retired by History
Scheme, but Fails ON the
Stand to Recall Facts

Edward Percy Howard, president Of
the New York Press Climb, was at one
time known as Percy Linden, while he
was on the stage, according to his testi-
mony yesterday before former Supreme
Court Justice Peter a. Hendlick, who
is sitting as referee in the investiga-
ton of the affairs of the club. This
fact was one of the few things that Mr..
Howard was able to remember during
his examination.
After severe pressure by II. Trancis S
DyruH, counsel for the petitioners, he
finally admitted that statements con-
tanned in q circular letter he had sent
to members Of the club after the court
proceedings were instituted were mac
curate. This letter was circulated as
Justification of his six years admins
tration as president Of the club In it
he had said the $4,000 second mort
gage of the club had been retired by
the World War History solicitation
scheme. but in his testimony he was
not able to remember anything con-
crete about the second mortgage trans
action.
During the h airing he testified that
persons who subscribed to the World
War History, promoted by John J.
Wohltman, were placed on the pre-
ferred list Of the CLUB, and invited to
its functions. WohltM an received so
per cent of the proc seds of this solicit
tation.
1t was also brought out that one
member, Monte Cutler, had been "a~-
monished" by the board of trustees of
the club for having criticized the
World War History schesa Cutler
was brought before the board and sub
jected to an examination. During the
course Of this examination, according
to affidavts produced, Walter Z. War
ner, who is alleged to have been sitting
unconstitutionally as member of the
board, said to Cutler:
CAS- a reporter for many years you
must have done many favors for men
who are we'll to do. Don't you think
that you and men like you should be
willing TO let the club benefit now BY
capitalizing these favors for the club ~
Howard said that he knew nothing
about the foundation fund, OF which
the clubs records showed he was presi-
dent during 1917. Letters soliciting
membership in the club under this
foundation fund, signed Edward Percy
Howard" were introduced, but Howard
repudated the SIGNATURE
