At the regular meeting of the Rose-

an active Commercial Club and the

strate that it is on the map. The
commodious new Club rooms will

Roseburg Review,
L. Wtmberly, Editor,
Roseburg, Oregon.
Dear Sir: Kindly permit me the
use of a conspicuous place in me
columns of your paper. I wish to
correct a most grievous misrepresen
tation in your issue of Nov. 9th.
Your reckless use of my name In
connection with Rev. Clark or Sum
mers, I strongly repent. You neeuse
Rev. Clark of a most glaring er:me
and paint him as criminal of deep-
st hue; and then el:se your seiui-
ionnl Item by reprisr.ting ine ns his
defender. You say that I have Inter
ested myself In his heh.ilf, and that I
will raise money, if necessary, to de
fend him. And you do thl.i without
one word of personal Inquiry from
mo as to tho Tacts This kind ol
treatment 1 strongly resent. Since
my name has been eo freely used in
connection with this case, I hope yon
will grant mo the privilege of making
statement according to facta,
Although Rev. Clarke has been
preaching in tho Oregon Conference
since 1904, I nm not persoulJy ac
quainted with him. When ho was
brought to Roseburg Saturday nigtit
I hnd no knowledge of his being In
the city. 1 was away from the par
sonage, when he came to seek my
aid. On my return home 1 found the
man guarded by a deputy, and In
deep distress. He plead his lnno
cence, claiming that it was n case of
mistaken Identity nnd asked me to
lirnvont, If possible, his spending the
night in tho county jail. I Imme
diately made careful examination of
be Oregon Conference Journals of
the Methodist Church, the olMclal
publication of the- Conference, puh-
Ished annually, and found that be
came to the Oregon Conference lu
1904; that he was admitted to the
Conference In 190ft on credentials
from the Methodist Church, South,
which church received him ns a min
ister In 1889. Clnrk also had In his
possession a certificate signed by
Bishop McDowell, the presiding of
ficer of the Oregon Anuunl Confer
ence, held at Albany, Ore., in lBOft.
This paper certified that the Confer
ence had recognl7.ed the credentials
those of Rev. Geo. Clarke. With
this evidence quickly gathered, I nat
urnlly came to the conclusion that
this man was either George Clarke,
or he had forged his credentials, and
passed them off on the Conference
Knowing the care taken by the Board
on Conference Relation In passing on
such matters I thought forgery next
to Impossible. Not knowing of the
other evidence presented Inter by The
Review, my sympathy went out
strongly for the man and was willing
to do what I could to keep hi in from
jail until he had a chance to present
his caso to the governor and only did
for him what I wouid gladly do for
anyone under similar circumstances.
I was firm with Clarke and told htm
in the presence of Sheriff Fenron and
others that I hoped ho would get
what was coming to him If he was
guilty. As to my raising funds or
securing the employment of attor
neys to defend him. will sav. I mad
no promise, nor have I any Intention
of giving him such aid. At his ear
nest solicitation I secured the ndvlec
of a lawyer. This was done for th
purpose of keeping him out of jail
until he could get his cane befo:
the Governor,
As a minister of the Gospel I want
only to aland for right and justice
I hope hereafter to have The Review
consult me personally about any newn
or sucn a serious nature, before anno
elating my name with It. and feel thn
In asking this I am only asking the
courtesy that Is due to any citizen
will believe yon desire to do the
square thing if you will give ihl
article an much prominence In you
paper as you did the one with which
my name, was associated.
Respectfully yours.

PLEADS WITH GOVERNOR.
Gardiner Minister Hear Favornhli
letter From He?. T. B. Kuril.
RALEM. Or.. Nov. 9 What I
either a remarkable case of mlnlnke
Identity or a rank Instance of hypoc
rlsy was called to the attention o
Governor Chamberlain today, whe;
Rev. George C. (Mark, of Gardln
iKiuglas county, apjiealed to tho gov
ernor for protection against extrad
thin. Clark has b-n arretted up
the theory that he Is Rev. Geo rue
Summers, who Is wanted at Throck
morton, Texas, to answer a charge
of embezzlement. Though tho cir
cumstances point almost conclusively
to the identity of Clark and Summers,
yet Mr. Clark has a letter from Rev.
T. B. Ford In which the latter de
clares that he knows both men and
that they are not one and the same.
Rev. George C. Sum mora loft his
wife nnd family at Throckmorton In I
904 and eloped with Elizabeth Mas-i
sey, a young girl. He embezzled mon
ey nt the same time. Since then his
hereabouts have been unknown.
Rev. George C, Clark says that he
formerly lived in Throckmorton,
Tex., but that he left there lu 1900,
u which year at Dallas, Tex., he mar
ried Elizabeth Matisey, who, how
ever. Is not the same Elizabeth Mas
sey who was married by Hov, George
Summers. Clnrk came to Oregon
n 1904, soon after the time of Sum
mers disappearance. He occupied
the Methodist Episcopal pulpit at
Wlldorville and was later transferred
o Gardiner, where he is now preach
ing.
Clark admits that- he looks like
Summers and that the circumstances
are strongly against him, but he pro
tests his innocence. At his urgent
request ho was brought to Salem to
day by the sheriff of Douglns county
ii order that he might tell his story
and protest against the granting of
extradition. A mi in tier of Methodist
ministers called upon the governor
today, but as they knew nothing
about the facts lu the case, they
merely asked that the governor make
thorough Investigation so that no
njustlce shall be done.

Government Loses Once More
in Standard Oil Case
SUPREME COURT ONLY BOPE
J. W. Scriber, Cashier of DJunct Bank
at Ld Grande, Furnishes Bond in
Sam ol $40, 000
Siioelnl to the Evening Review.
CHICAGO, Nov. 10. The Federal
Court of Appeals today denied the pe
tition ot the United States govern
ment for a rehearing In the case
against the Standard Oil Company,
wheroin, originally, the Standard waa
convicted in the lower court of ac
cepting rebutee from the Alton rail
road and fined (29,240,000 by Judge
Kenesnw M. Laudis. The denied of
tho petition is a second defeat of
the government, tho appellate court
having previously set aside Judge
Land la' decision.
The government's only recourse
now 1b to enrry the case up to the
United Stntcs Supreme Court. This
will probably be done by Attorney
CUmeral Honaparte.

PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 10.-
Through the efforts of his cousin, L.
II. Mi'Mnhon, an attorney, of Salem,
.1. W. Scriber, cashier of the defunct
Farmers' and Traders' National
Hank,, of La Qrande, charged with
emhozy.len.ent, furnished a bond of
$40,000 late yesterday afternoon and
was released from jail. He announced
today that he does not know whnt he
will do between now and the date of
his trial, but says he will remain In
Portlnnd indefinitely. Scriber declar
ed that he Is not afraid to return to
La Grande, as he does not think any
one (Autre would harm him.
The rumor Is rovlved today that
Scrlbor's relatives and friends are
holding a conference with a view to
making good his shortage, which the
government officials declare amounts
to $12:1,000. Scriber disputes this,
however, asserting that he Is short
not more than $70,000.
