WHAT HUGHES SAID

WasIliI gton, March 21.-The text of
Secretary Hughes's letter addressed to
Senator Lodge denying that any secret
treaty or agreement was made with
other powers, either incident to or de-
veloping in any Way from the four
power Pacific treaty, follows;
Il notice that the late st charge in the
course of the debate over the four power
treaty is that there is a secret agreement
understanding between this government
and Great Britain with respect to Pacific
matters Any such statement is absolutely
false. We have no secret understand in IS
agreements with Great Brftain in rela-
ton to the four power treaty or any other
matter q
IN my letter TO senator Underwood on
March 18th, in relation to the four power
treaty, I said:
There are no secret notes or under
standings
Permit me to express the hope that the
American delegates will be saved further
aspersions upon their Yeracity and honor"

John Silk, As, a married man, threw
him on the bathroom floor and mutt
lated him with a jackknife-
Il know you-you are Willis-Ill

The attack, strikingly similar to
that of Jere Lillis by Jack Cudahy
in Kansas City some years ago, oc-
Cured yesterday afternoon. Silk, too
weak from the loss of blood to rise,
lay on the floor five hours until found
by his wife last evening. He was
under a doctors care today.
silk told the police he was alone
when the two men called, represent
ing themselves as bathroom inspec-
tors. Suddenly. they seized him.
Then. the elder of the two men, a
man of about 40. accused SILK of ruin
ing his daughter They seized him,
held him against the bathroom floor
and mutilated him with a jackknife.
Il kept telling them that they were
making a mistake, that 1 was a mar
ried man, that 1 knew nothing about
any girl. but they wouldn't listen to
me-" said Silk. They made a ter
rible mistake. They mistook me for
some other man"
Mrs Silk, who became hysterical
when she found her husband in a pool
of blood. said she was convinced OF
her husbands innocence.
