' George Asserts Innoncence. New York Dispatch, 19th. Radical differences of opinion be tween hostile factions were held re sponsible today by William R. George for the recent recommendation of the State board of charities that he be re moved from active participation in the affairs of George Junior Republic, at Freeville, New York.

"It is maddening," he said, "after having established a reputation for good character and service, to have my name dragged in the mire, as a debaucher of womanhood. Those who know me need no reassurance that I am perfectly innocent, but my tortures begin in earnest when I think of the tens of thousands of people to whom I have spoken on public plat forms and that they may be saying, ,JIt is true after all that Daddy George is a lying hypocrite.' "A six year old charge, long ago in vestigated and discredited, even repu diated at one time by the one making it, has been dragged out with the idea of discrediting me."
