Mrs. Champ Clark, widow of the
late Speaker of the House of Repre-

publication today, refers to the Demo-
cratic convention at Baltimore in 1912,
in which her husband was defeated
for the presidential nomination by
Woodrow Wilson, when William Jen-

the latter.
Mrs. Clark asserted that the great
Commoner caused many faithful
Democrats to lose communion with
God as a result of his efforts to de-
feat Clark, instead of keeping true
TO his promise to use all honorable
means to nominate Champ Clark for
President"
Mrs. Clark closed the reference to
this episode with a quotation from
the Public Ledger saying Clark dis
liked Bryan to the day Of his deaf
and that the feud had colored Mis-
souri, politics since 1912, and would
for a generation. Asserting that at

One Arrest Follows Many
Reports of Operations
by Crooks.

Some of the cleverest pickpocket
''mobs" from the metropolitan district
of New York City are believed by the
police to have descended upon Wash
ington with plans for widespread
fleeing of visitors and participants in
the crowded Klan celebration today.
Early this morning isolated reports
of pickpocket operations began drift
ing into police headquarters, but@the
climax was not reached until near
noon, when, after eight reports of
losses in the vicinity of the Washing

detectives, Detective Thompson ar
rested Sol Bauman, alias Belinsky, al

squad.
Bauman's arrest was dramatic. Will

in his pocket. He made an outcry,

throw a monkey wrench into the in

statements or allowing himself to be
arrested, secure in the knowledge he
can prove an alibi.
Detectives skilled in anti-pickpocket
work have been switched to Fifteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue in an
effort to round up other members of
the groups believed to be operating
there.
Bauman's record in the identified
ton bureau at police headquarters
shows previous arrests on this
charge.
His arrest today resulted in the
dragnet already thrown out for pick
pockets being reinforced at several
points along Pennsylvania avenue
and F street.
