Mr.. Coolidge" was an attack 1pon
a policy and not upon Senator
Underwood OF Alabama, personally.
This was the statement made vest
.terday to a Senate Investigating
committee by Edwin j. Clapp, the
author of the editorial.
Mr.. Clapp was summoned before
the committee as result OF the
statement made in the Senate that
the editorial had libelled him.
Mr.. Clapp told the committee. in
the course of the three.hour hearing,
that the editorial was not a false
hood, and that he had ample proof
to bear out his statements. He
also charged that a gigantic power
trust exists in the United States
which Is attempting to obtain con-
troll OF Muscle Shoals, and that the
Alabama Power Company would
likely be the lessee Of the Muscle
Shoals plant should the Underwood
bill pass
Partial Text
Mr.. Clapp's statement to the com.

1.-THE attack of the editorial, as
/ shall show, is an attack on a
policy and not on a person. The

alleged to have blackmailed Sir

out Of three-quarters Of q million

Evidence was presented to show
that Sir Hurri gave Captain Charles

The bank had to lend Sir Hurri
the money to make good the first
check; it was testified. He was told
by the bank that he would have to
transfer money from India to pay
the second. Each check was for
$3.50 600. One was paid. Payment
on the second was stopped.
