many in eastern Washington Who nn-
lieNe that the time is not far distant
when practically every town in the
state Of Washington will be in the

cities will join with them. The liquor
interests are not sparing themselves
in an effort ID retain their hold OH the
cities. and it cannot be said they left
anything undane at the last town cleo

DEATH VISITS HOME
OF AUTHOR
MISS JEAN CLEMENS, DAUGHTER
OF MARK TWAIN DEAD
IN BATHTu8.

Reuding, Conn. Dec. ai-Mark
Twain's invalid daughter. Jean. met
death tragicaily this morning when at
the bath, bringing poignant grief at
Christmas time to ..Stormfield tn.
country home OF the great American
humorist. She was his youngest
daughter. endeared to him not only by
long companionship. but by her frail
health. caused by recurrent attacks
of epilepsy.
without kin i'm this country 10 share
ter. Clara, recently was married tn
ossip Gabrilowitch. a Russian pianist.
and is on her way To Europe.
lean Clemens died not directly from
drowning. as was first supposed. but
more probably from starngulation due
to an :ttack of epilepsy. or from
heart failure. The body was found
in the bathtub with the head only
partly submerged. and medical ex-
animation tonight showed that the
lungs contained little water.
Miss Clemens had evinced phssica
WEAKNESS of late. probably induced by
the excitement incident to her sis
ter's departure for Europe and the
recent return of her father from
Bermuda. But yesterday afternoon
she rode her favorite horse to the
postoffice to get the early Christmas
mail and last night she cheerfully pre-
pared a. Christmas basket from which,
she had planned To distribute gifts
Christmas morning.
On retiring. She asked her maid to
call her early and. when she arose
this morning she went to the bath
room. where her iifeless body was
found later. Her failure to respond
to the maids knocking on the door
revealed her death. With character
istic philosophy. Mark Twain is bear
ing up bravely. Hundreds Of mes
sases Of coincidence are arriving from,
all parts of the civilized world Death
had already taken from him his wife
and his daughter. Susan.
Jean Clemens was 80 years old and
was her fathers close companion in
his literary work. Since early wom-
anhood she had been subject to
epilepsy. but in recent wears her
health had improved. particularly last
fall The body win be sent to Elmira,
\. Y. for burial. where the funeral
will be held Sunday afternoon at the
residence of Charles ]. Langdon, an
uncle.
