SAY CLARK NEVER WAS IN
 MEXICAN BANDITS HANDS

Mexico City, Mex, Sept. 17.-Asser- tions are made here that Henry Clark, who was supposed to have been cap tured by bandits and held for ran som in Chihuahua, has been playing a, little comedy for some purpose and that he was never in the hands of bandits.
 No effort is made to explain why Clark should have attempted de- ception beyond a hint that he might have thought of collecting ransom for himself.
 Clark Is said to be a British sub feet and not an American. He Is em- ployed by the International Land and Live Stock Co.,, a Chicago corporation which owns large tracts in Northern Mexico.
 The assertion that Clark told of imaginary bandits is similar to the charge made against former Consul w, O. Jenkins, of Puebla, after he had figured in a sensational $15o,o0o ransom case.
