WASHINGTON, Mar. 2s. (UP)
Robert E. Clements, resigned sec
retary-treasurer of the Townsend
pension movement. testified yes
terday he got $l2.5S5 in salary
in 1895 and in addition had his
rent, grocery bills, and many 9th
er major expenses paid.
Clements refused to estimate
how much more than his salary
he received for travelling and
other expenses, but a detailed ac-
count read into the record by
James r. Sullivan, counsel for
the Bell committee investigating
old age pensions, showed that it
was ample for, $l.40 breakfasts,
50-ccnt tips, and $40 hotel rooms.
The money that gave Clements
q life of comparative luxury was
contributed in nickels, dimes and
quarters by millions of aged per-
sons attracted by the idea of 5000
a month pensions for everybody
over 60. These small change items
rolled in, during the 26 months
OARP has been in operation, in
quantities sufficient to total al
most $1,000,000. g.,
For the second day Clements
turned up without certain records
the committee wanted and q spe-
cial subpoena was issued for in
formation on the quarterly in
come of the organization last
year. The committee recessed un-
til Wednesday to give Clements
time to gather his information
from points as far away as Cali
fornia.
The witness prefessed Inability

members as political ammunition

Scott w. Lucas d., 'Ill.( pointed
out that this claim was incorrect.

| That total income of OARP
from its inception in January,
1884, to December. 80, 1885,
amounted to $771,964,09, Glenn
ments estimated another $780,
600 had been taken in between
January /, 1886, and March /,
last, making a total for 26
months of 1851 ,964.90.
2. That Clements income last
year from the Townsend move
ment was $12,585, as follows:
$3.50 salary from OARP; $3.50
salary from the Townsend Week
ly; $3.50 dividends from the
Prosperity Publishing Company,
publishers of the Townsend
Weekly; and 1886 other income
from the Prosperity Publishing
company.
"Now," said Sullivan, isn't it
a fact that all this money, lin

The lean, unsmiling witness
glared at him and said:
