large number of other complaints,
most of which died after a short pro.
motion period. He was at the head
OF THE Interstate Enterprises" q
name including eleven different cor.
porations. some Of which were never
anything but a name. The name, how
ever. probably gratified Clarke's am.
bilious dreams.
Among the. Interstate Enterprises
were the Interstate Holding Com
pany. the Times Publishing Company,
which published the Thomaston (Ga.)
Times: the Atlanta Bible School. the
Interstate Printing Company, which
did not confine itself to religious
printing; the Dixie Company, a pho
tograph gallery, and the Congrega-
tional Methodist Publishing House, the
death Of which has already been re-
counted.

or that he had the Endorsement or sup
port Of the church to this end"
Traffic I'm Bogus Notes.
The second charge of extortion wis
based on the accusation that Clarke
had obtained loan notes in favor OF
the Atlanta Bible School under repre-
sentation that they would never be
collected, and had then placed them
with banks as collateral so that many
were forced to pay.
Cashing worthless checks, over
drawing his bank account, failure to
pay a board bill, were included among
the thirteen specification to the charge
II fraudulent and unjust dealings"
The charge of false and malicious
Islander" was based on statements i'm
puted to Clarke about officers of the
