and will result in tremendous good
in this; that 1t can be pointed to
as another one OF the false reports
circulated for the purpose of de-
stroying the activity of the Khan
and destroying the confidence Of

Speaker Got Angry
The speaker seemed to be very
angry, and said in an acrimonious,
snarly manner: II said he's got to
60, and what mean is I'm going
to get him.
1 said: why. am surprised that
you should take this attitude. il
Mr.. COburn has anything to say
that is just and should be said,
everyone is entitled to hear it. II
what he has to say is false it will
be without weight and in the long
run will result in great good.
He replied. Il haven't time to. be
thinking about no highfalutin ideas.

get this Coburn before he makes

the 25th day OF August, 1923.

troit to Alpena, Michigan.

everyone else on board had retired
to their staterooms. was sitting
with q man on deck toward the
stern OF the yacht. The discussion
was somewhat light and super
ficial Suddenly he leaned over In

and caught hold OF my arm and
said. Cant you get hold OF some
body to bump Coburn of?

must be eliminated. If he succeeds

Federal court for the district In
which Houston. Tex, Is situated.
The woman made affidavits that
afe had ridden on train from one
state to another in company with
Mr.. Clark, and as result OF the
affidayits. Mr. Clark was indicted
for violation of the Mann Act. con1-
monty called the. White Slave ACT.
Mr.. Clark Is q very sensitive in-
dfvfdual very temperamental, ana
what Is commonly called high-strun9.
When the indictment was returned
he was so hurt and so Inundated
that instead Of fighting back like
4 red-bloOded, two.fisted man, ana
branding this woman for what she
really was. he bowed his head in
shame and retired from active public
life.
A few OF us were not satisfied
with what happened to Mr.. Clark
IN the Mann Act case, and we pro-
ceeded to Investigate. We learned
that II anyone's character had been
injured, 1t was the character OF
Mr.. Clark and not this siren en-
ployed to bring about the indict-
nlent OF Clark,
These facts were laid before the
membership of the Khan In the
only way that it was possible to get
them before them: that is to say,
by personal report. And after a
time It began to penetrate the con-
sciOu ess OF the membership that
r. Y. Clark had been the victim OF
. framed case. !
Court Imposed Fine
Doubtless the Federal Court at
Houston. Texas. finally took the
same view Of it. because instead Of
sending Mr.. Clark to prison. as he
should have done Il he was guilty.

pleased to close the case with a
mere fine.

her for divorce. Al group Of women
