In view Of the fact that politics
are unusually interesting this year
and because 40 many people are vital
ly interested In the men who are
standing for office. this idea of clos
ing the stores for few hours on
campaign day seems To be good
one. Some Of the clerks. or mer-

ISIANA MEETS TRAGIC
DEATH
Member of Lower HOUSE, StrolIed op
Railway Tracks and Was Instantly
Killed.

washington, June 11.-Representa.
tive Robert c. Wickliffe of Louisiana
was run down on the tracks of the
Southern railway in Potomac park to-
day and instantly killed. Mr.. Wick
llf1e had been in the habit of taking
long walks daily and was enjoying his
customary stroll when killed. How
ne happened to stray on the railroad
tracks has not been cleared up.
The engineer of the train said he
saw the congressman too late to avoid
the accident. Mrs. Wickliffe was ap
prised Of her husbands death while
watching the proceedings in. the
mouse. The house later adjourned
out of respect to the memory Of the
Southern representative, as did the
senate also. Committees from the
two houses of congress were appoint
ed to attend the funeral
