MIR. CRISP IN CONGRESS
In DAYS OF KINETIES
When He First Served as
PaFIiamGntaFian

| Washington. D. c.. March lS--Tls
announcement made q few days az7
that Judge Chas. r. Crisp. OF Am----
Gus, Ca, would become the PARIS
mentarian Of the house, with the be-
ginning Of he extra session. has
esryed to attract attention TO The good
lrecord that the Georgian has already
made The Washington Times toby
says Of Judge Crisp:
The announcement that Champ
Clark, speaker Of the next house, has
appointed Judge Charles r. Crisp, 3l
Americas, to succeed Ashe- Kinds. IS
parliamentarfan and clerk TO rle
speaker, is generally regarded as a
happy solution Of q difficult problem.
( The position is one which calls for
absolute mastery Of the inuacacie= Of
parliamentary law and Drecedeuts and
it is conceded that Mr.. Kinds has
been an invaluable aid to Speker Joe
Cannon.
Crisp Equal to the Task.
Judge Crisp, howeye~, will be found
quite equal to the exacting duties Of
his position. He grew up in the
atmosphere Of the house Of represent
tiyes, Of which his father, Judge Chas
| F. Crisp, was a member for thirteen
years,
When his father was chosen as
speaker of the Fifty-second congress in
December, 1891, young Crisp WAS
chosen as clerk at thes peaker's table,
and continued in that capacity during
the Fifty-thtrd congress, to the speak
ership of which his distinguished IA
Their was reelected.
This latter period covered the spe-
cial silver session of 1903. 1t was a
time toward which the veterans Of to,
day turn and sigh, Those We're giants
in those days
Old Scenes in House.
Sitting under the very drippings Of
the sanctuary, Charley Crisp took a
keen interest in the proceedings which
included the memorable occasion when
Speaker Crisp himself came down and
delivered a Philippe on the arbitrary
rulings of Car Reed, which made the
former despot vince as he never did
before.
1T was transition period from the
parliamentary regime which the man
from Maine had created to the more
liberal rules of the democratic house,
any many fine points came up for set
Element,
Mr.. Crisp was not only studying
the theory of parliamentary law as set
forth in Cushings Manual and is
successors, but he observed the prac-

teal procedure in the house and stored
away the precedents for future use.
He Succeeds His Father.
When his father died in October,
1896, Charles R Crisp, although but
.26 years of age at the time, was elecC-
ed without opposition to succeed him
as representative of the Third con-
gressionaI district of Georgia. While
bearing himself with the modesty be-
coming in a new member, he made a
favorable impression on his associates.
Returning to his home at the expi-
ration of his term of office, he resumed
the practice of law, and was after
ward elevated to the bench in his ma
tive state, much to the regret OF the
many friends who hoped to see him
take a more active part in public
life
Tells a Good Story.
Judge Crisp, now in the forty-frst
year of his age, is man Of genial
temperament, loves and tells a good
story, of which he has an inexhausti-
bic fund, and has a host of friends
Those who know him best feel sure
that his whole career has specially
marked him out for the position to
which the speaker designate has called
him, to succeed one of the ablest par
liamentarians in the country"

TO EXHUME CLARK'S BODY

On Saturday judge Overfield sign
ed an order directing that the body
of J. D. Clark. the man of Chandlar
for whose murder Robert John is
now in custody, is 10 be eXhumed
for the purpose of further eXamina-
ton.
Robert John is accused of having
killed Clark on the East Fork of
Wind river. tributary of ChaEd-
lar, on December ., 1909.
The body was found on September
2. 1910. over nine months afterWard
lying in the bed of stream flowing
in front of the frame work OF a
tent that had been owned ami used
by Clark His partner Geraghty. who
started out with him disappeared
and nothing has ever been found OF
him. All of the outfit. including
guns. provisions and everything of
value. even the tent had disappear
ed when the camping spot was To-
Gated. but some papers renamed
near the tent site that disclosed
the identity of the murdered man.
Deputy Marshal Hansen was sent
into the Arctic country for the body
and returned with it. On his re-
turn an inquest was held on Feb
ruary -. but the body was so de-
composed that a ca, eful examination
was not made. The jury therefore
returned a verdict that he came
OF h isdeath from causes not known.
Robert John. who is suspected ol
having killed both Clark and his
partner Geraghty, was arrested last
summer and en- August %, bound
over to wait the action OF the
grand jury. The grand jury asks
for more evidence before indictinS.
hence the order for more thorough
investigation. The only chance OF
getting discriminating evidence is i'll
finding bone that has been pierced
by the bullet or other death deal
ing Instrument as the body is too
far gone to offer any witness OF
violence
