Upon his return 1o Butte he gave me a statement showing disbursements amounting to about this sum. These four contributions were all that were made by me in con- nection with that campaign.

There were plenty of rumors about the expenditure of mofiey, but I have no personal knowledge of anything of that kind being done.” Contradicts Whiteside. Senator Clark was questioned concern- ing his conversation with Senator White- side and Mark Hewitt and his reported conversation with Refiresenlatl\'e Jackson of Utah. He denied having had any con- versation with Jackson, and, while admit- ting having talked with Whiteside and Hewitt, he contradicted all the statements made by them in their testimony which would in any way 1m£1:lute him with cor- s in the Legislature. He sald that on one occasion he had met White- side at the Helena Hotel, when the latter him, saying: had o ng: ."lm?:swduwllwm I bave in- B e S SRR SOR SR S o Y ) | with | a good man. | the prosecution. D B I T Y @ AN CLARK OF MONTANA. B e = SR S S Y ) duced Senator Anderson to vote for you.” Senator ( k sald he had told White- side that he was pleased to hear this, be- cause he and Anderson had long been friends and he had confidently counted upon his vote before the final ballot should be taken. Clark said, positively, that Anderson was the only member of the Legislature spoken of in this conver- sation, and he explicitly denied having id that Anderson could not be influenced ¥ money “like other members.” He de- nied having told Whiteside that C. W. Clark, Wellcome or any one else was his had that he met the Legislature, as F ewitt had professed to b friend’ of his in his Senatorlal conte Thelr conversations had, ho ever, been so completely devold of feat- ure that he did n remember any of them. He was su he had never as the latter had testified, that i Whiteside reliable, for he & with him Whitesid e the White- 3 ure that they would make the people believe that Daly had furnished the $30,000 used by Whiteside in that e, and he had never told he would have his son or Wellcome or any with a view of sati one else see Tom Lyons s n? him. He did, however, remembs that Hewitt had told him that Lyons was making some trouble about his expenses in the Senatorial cam- palgn. With reference to the testimony of Leg- islator Jackson of Utah Clark said he had no recollection whatever of having met that gentleman and that he was sure that he (Clark) had not tried to influence Jack- son to vote for McCune for United States Senator from Utah, He was equally sure that he had made no corrupt or improper Propos: to Jackson In that connection and that he ad told him that he (Clark) had_just purchased the vota of & member of the Montana Legislsture in his own behalf. Equally certain was he that he halnaver sald to Jackson or any one else that Sen- not | ator Hanna of Ohio had secured his elec- tion to the Senate by corrupt raeans. “I am absolutely positive,” sald Senator Clark, concluding hisdirect testimony con- cerning Jackson, “that I never had any conversation with him or any one else relative to the manner of Senator Hanna's election, and I want to say that every word of Jackson's testimony which related to me was absolutely faise.” That Letter to Dr. Martin. At this juncture a member of the com- mittee asked Clark in regard to the letter to Dr. Martin of the Montana College concerning which Justice Brantley had testified earller in the day. Clark replied that he had no recollection concerning the letter. He thought he might have whitten it, as his relations with Dr. Martin were very intimate, as were also his relations Judge Brantley, and as he knew the relationship to be so between Martin and Brantley “I may have written the letter to Martin to see Justice Brantley,” Senator Clark, “but I certaigly aid not go to the extent of asking him' to suggest to Judge Brantley that the proceedings against Wellcome should be stopped. I admit Lhat I was greatly interested in Wellcome's case, being convinced, as the letter re- ferred to says, that he is both a grand and I do not, however, wish to be understood, if I did write the letter, as suggesting ‘any means of approaching him which were not perfectly legitimate. As to recollecting whether 1 wrote the Tetter, I repeat that I cannot say positive. ly. My correspondence {s probably as large as that of almost any other man in the United States. I write from fifty to one hundred letters a day, and it is not robable that I would remamber whethor Prhna written this letter on & matter which I did not consider very important. 1f I did write it, I simply did so to have Dr. Martin use his influence with Judgs Brantley to see that justice was done Mr. Wellcome.” Faulkner asked Clark concernin quaintance with Rev. B. E. the Methodist mi ~a his ac- varren, ter who testified for rk sald Warren had come to him during the Senatorial contest cxpressing great interest in his campaign | and had told him that there was a mem- | ber of the Legislature, whose name he did not mention, whose vote could be had for | Clark. “I told him,” sald Clark, “that would be nice and that I would like to have the vote. Mr. Warren then said that to get the vote would require some money. I told him,” Clark went on, “that I did not expect {0 secure any votes as the result of a pecuniary consideration.” After that Warren had asked him for a contribution for his church and had asked him to send the check, if he gave one at all, to him personally. He had promised to do this, and had afterward sent him a check for $100 for the church, making it payable to Warren personally. He never had_any more conversations than this with Warren, and he pronounced as absolutely false the statement made by Warren that he (Clark) had urged nim afterward to get for him the vote of the member he had spoken of. Referring to Warren's statement that his sons had been discharged from employment at Clark’s instance, Clark sald he did not know that Warren had any sons. Cason’s Accusation Denied. Bpeaking of his relations with the wit- ness Cason, Clark said Cason had brought a letter of identification from his brother- in-law. Cason had told him that Repre- gentative Marcyes (R.) was a warm friend of his and that he (Cason) could be of benefit to him in ‘emr:% Marcyes' vote. Clark sald that afterwa when he found that he could not be elected by Democratic votes, he sent for Cason and asked him to use his influence with Marcyes. After having seen Marcyes, Ca- son told him that he had found that mem- ber very friendly to him (Clark). He then told Cason to go to his son or some one else and get money to pay his expenses i to Helena and return. The next time he met Marcyes he told him he was obliged to him. That was the extent of his con- versation with Marcyes. “It is absolutely faise that I held up my hand, indicating that Marcyes could have $10,000 for his vote, as Cason testified, nor did I by any movement or word of lip in dicate that I expected him to secure vote for me for a corrupt consideration, sald Clark. Clark admitted that he had thought well of Cason not only because of the letter of identification he brough: but because Ca- son had been with his friends in a com- bination of Democrats and Republicans in a campaign in Butte. In reply 1o & suggestion from Chandler, Clark said he had written a letter to the Republican caucus of the Montana Legls- lature outlining his attitude on the tarit. | The question had first arisen in the legis- n_in Yellowstone County. | t that early date written a letter to Foster of that county. Writing to the chairman of the Republican cau- cus he had reiterated the views expressed in the Foster letter. He had not preserved a copy of the letter, but if one could be | found he would be glad to produce it | Chandler insisted that the letter should be found, as it was evidence of the pledge he made to secure Republican votes. Clark sald he had scnt the letter to Hobson, chairman of the Republican cau- cus. Clark stated the contents of the let- ter to the caucus. He said that he had taken the position that *in the distribu- tion of the duties on various articles he thought that raw materials should be provided for and share in the advantage of the protective tariff to the extent of materials produced in our own State, such as wool, lead, hides and barley.” Returning fo Cafon, Clark said he had sent him a check for $600 after the ad- journment of the Legislature. This he had done because Cason had complained to him of the condition of his finances and because of the good opinion he had o m. Speaking of the Republican votes cast for him, Clark said he had told all Repub- lican members of the Legislature that he would not accept their votes if they would insure his election unless he could get a majority of the Republican caucus. His | reason was that to accept fewer than a | majority of the caucus would subject them to acc ations of accepting bribes. “There was much scandal at the time,” he sald, “that I thought it right to protect them. 1 wanted to have the election beyond reproach and I did not! “im'! to compromise any of these peo- e. P'He had meant to adhere to this position | even if he had fallen only one short of | a majority of the Republican caucus. Bickford Did the Work. | The letters to and from Dr. Ector were then taken up. Explaining one of his let- | ters to the doctor, he sald he thought the matter related to Representative Woods and that Bickford was looking after that matter, hence the expression in his letter that “‘that matter is left entirely in the hands of Bickford.” He had not known that Woods was in debt, as that subject had never been brought to his attention. He had heard that Bickford would look after Woods' vote. He had had no con- | versation with Woods until after the leg- islative election. Clark said he was in the habit of turn- ing matters of detall over to others who | had particular matters in hand. He had, | he kne: oken to Bickford on the sub- jeet and he thought it probable that he | had turned the letter over to him. { ir. Bickford,” Clark said, in reply to a question from nator Hoar, “was’ the | only one I knew well in Mr. Woods’ local- | ity, and I would likely turn the matter over to him. He had no authority to act for me except in a legitimate way. All I expected was that he should hold Woods in line and prevent the people by whom he was surrounded, who were unfriendly to me, from getting Woods away from me. He was authorized to use only per- suasive means and was not authorized to use any money. I had nothing improper fn my mind and I had no reason to sup- pose that Bickford had anything improper in_his mind.” He knew nothing, he sald, of the in- debtedness on Woods' ranch, which it was yrng sed should be carried for him. *“Nothing was sald to me by any living person which would lead me to suspect or suppose that such a condition existed,” he | said. It was a surprise to him when the de- tails of the transaction for the relief of Woods’ mortgage by his son and Bick- ford was brought out in the testimony. Questioned closely upon Bickford hayv- ing taken $7000 to Missoula to lift Woods’ mortgage, Clark repeated that he had not | at the time known anything whatever about it. He had not known that his son had given the money to Bickford until the matter was brought out in the testi- mony here. “Did your son have access to your ac- counts, so that he could have given Bick- ford that amount of money in your in- terest?’ asked Hoar. | “The son is a man of wealth himself,” said Faulkner. X “Let the witness answer,” sald Senator | Chandler. Clark said: "My son had drawn checks on my account, but he did not do so in| this case. He could easily have drawn | this amount of money on his own ac- count. Expense Money for Friends. In reply to a question, he said that his | son had not, even since the facts of this traneaction were brought in this inquiry, | explained to him. He had not paid Bick- | ford anything for his service, except his | expenses and his regular salary. Tteplying to a question by Faulkner con- cerning the relation to himseif of his son, C. W. Clark, Wellcome, Biokford, A. J. Davidson, A. J. Steele, Willlam McDer- mott and others, Senator Clark said: “They stood to me in the relation of friends, promoting my political interests, and some of them composed a committee which had undertaken to disburse funds In the campalgn and which was author- ized to look after matters generally.” “‘Had they any authority to do anything in a financial way more than to pay in- cidental expenses?* ey had not, if T am to understand your question to be whether thoiv had authority to pay out money for unlawful purposes. They had no authority to pay out money for any, other than fair and legitimate purposes. The examination at 4:30.p. m. In executive session the committes de- cided not to receive Falk's testimony concerning Whiteside's reported effort at bribery as purely collateral testimony, but it is understood that notice has been glven of a motlon for reconsideration. The com- mittee also discussed the question of the | advisability of sending for witnesses for the purpose of impeaching the testimony of witnesses already heard, but reached no conclusion on_this point. There are about thirty such witnesses wanted on each side and the expense of bringing them would be about $18,000 or $20,000, e Reception to Veterans. Spectal Dispatch to The Call.

WRIGHT OF TENNESSEE. John V. Wright, Law Department, Gen- | eral Land Office of Tennessee, in a letter | written from Washington, D. C., says the | following of Peruna for catarrh: | “T have used Peruna in my famlily and can cheerfully recommend it as being all You represent, and wish every one who is suffering with catarrh, general debility or prostration could know of it. I would ad- vise allssuch to take it in time and fore- stall the terrible consequences. I regard it as a most valuable remedy, and most cheerfully recommend it.” Mr. Ed Sheehan, 3710 Avenus “D,” Ba- yonne, N. J., says: “I am thirty-eight years old, a machin- ist, and have been troubled with my stomach for twenty years. I could not sleep well. My stomach always felt heavy | after eating. I was very nervous; would | jump If I heard anything fall. I have now | taken four bottles of Peruna and have| gained fifteen pounds in three months. 1| can eat anything I want now just as 1 could when a boy.” Many people think that catarrh is con-| g fined to the head, and perhaps occasional | cases of catarrh of the stomach. This s | very far from being the case. Every or- gan, duct and opening of the body is lined | with mucous membrane and is liable to catarrh or inflammation. One man has the kidney: der.

I feel in every way better than I have for years.

It must be an Internal sys- temic remedy. It is claimed for Peruna that it cures catarrh wherever located. The following unsolicited words from the people indicate whether this a true statement or not: Mr. T. P. Faltz, of Silverton, Va., writes the following: “Peruna is just what you and others I used your Peruna for catarrh of the eyes according to your My eyes light. The lids of my eyes were thick. and some mornings I couldn’t open them. At times I couldn’t see out of one of them. I tried every remedy I could hear of and then failed. “The first bottle of Peruna did me more good than all the rest of the medictnes I had taken. I used only four bottles and now I am a well man. I am telling others ‘what it has done for me.” Mrs. Bertha Ferguson, Superintendent Free Dispensary, of Brooklyn, writes the following letter from 136 Lawrencs street, Brooklyn, N. Y.: “It 1s always a pleasure to speak a good word for an ar- ticle of merit, and no medicine deserves a curative agent In cases of catarrh in varijous forms than Peruna. It is far above anything I have ever known or used in such cases and it therefore has my heartiest In- dorsement.” Mr. C. K. Cosby, writes: “Five years ago I contracted a very bad NN H Mrs. B.

TRAMS FGHT WITH TRAIN CAEW Used Guns When Or- dered From a Car. arsgtl o Spectal Dispatch to The Call. TUCSON, Ariz.,, Feb. 17.—The crew of the east-bound Southern Paclific fast freight had an exciting experience last night at Red Rock. A brakeman found that an empty stock car was occupied by eight tramps and he ordered them from the car. They refused to go, and (ion,; . M. Conway decided to switcl ?r\':‘ggr%n at Red Rock, In order to get rid of the tramps without trouble. The hobos realized that they were be- | ing left and attempted to board the train | when It was starting. The crew beat them off and the tramps pulled guns and began firing at the trainmen. A number of shots were fired, but none of the train- men were injured. Brakeman Acton says that five shots passed close to his head. The trainmen rushed to the end of the train and, arming themselves, drove the tramps from the train. The tramps were all armed and are still at large. Two of the party were captured by the traln- men and brought here to-day. —_— BOY SUSPECTS RELEASED. Were Only Tools in the Hands of Older Persons. Spectal Dispatch to The Call.

Quite a number of the animals ave been on the benches at the Los Angeles show, which has just closed, and they are tired out, but will be in position hefore the time set for the animals to be on the bench. The Belgian hare interests are already very large in_this county, as indeed they are all over Southern California, Los An- geles being the city which is acknowl- edged to have the finest Belgian hares in the world. In the San Diego show there are to be two classes—one for hares from San Dlego County alone and the | other with no limits.
