Washington, March 31.-Final vote
on the proposed repeal of the tolls

Clark Speaks.

The last hours of debate were fea-
tured by Speaker Clark's speech in
opposition to the repeal. He said no
difference exists between he and Pres
ident Wilson and no breach had oc-
Cured in democratic ranks. He said
the President is wrong in his attitude,
and while he had helped elect him and
done all he could to make his admin
istration success, he refused to bolt
the Baltimore platform by voting for
the tolls repeal.
He declared he is not a candidate
for the presidency in 1916; that II
Wilson is successful he will be re
elected and if not, the democratic nom
ination would not be worth having
He denied emphatically that he has
been swayed by the efforts of any
interests" and said he believed WI
son is actuated only by good intents
but his judgment is bad.

AMONG THE ELECT.

The diners at Mrs. Walther's lin
gered long at the table. The poet
consumed many highballs and waxec
eloquent in his dcnunciation of
predatory wealth. unappreciative
editors and materialist public in
general. He dashed Off a graceful
triolet between course. dedicated t.
Marian's eyes. He read It with reck-
less unconcern OF Miss Winthrops
feelings. The poem had originality
! and merit, and brought cries OF
bravo" from the company. Marian.
7 blushing furiously with embarrass-
sment and delight, asked for copy of
the verses and received the original
then and there.
..Ill rewrite It from memory" the
poet told her, "sell It to some editor,
and you are hereby invited to have
Z dinner with ME on the proceeds, and
we'll pray Pegasus that it won't
have to be Child's."
Meadows, the handsome youth at
Marian's side, had grown moody with
several glasses of wine. and. save for
scraps of conversation with Marian,
was latterly taking little part in the
general conversation, which was
bounding like cork along the sur
face Of the evening, Despite his
salightly plugged nose, Marian thought
\ Meadows handsome; his attractive
distinction lay to great extent in
his poise, his genial eye, his graceful
build, his finely modelled hand, his
grooming. Marian was drawn to him
by far more than to the other men
present; the more she saw OF Shurt-
yleif, the publisher, the less she was
interested in him.
The, theatrical manager, seated at
Mrs: Walther's side, had begun to
fondle the hostess hand in calm care
lessness Of any observation on the
part of any of the others. The poet
was deploring the mechanical ten

currents with the defense of film

who wrote scenarios.
Marian had touched her glasses OF
wine to but a scant extent. Drink
sup Shurtleir frequently urged her.
Get into the game. why don't you?"
slle6 inquired.
y The poet, overhearing one of these
remarks, paused in his discussion OF
canned drama. and said: 'tLet her
alone, YOU tipsy publisher" He add
!. ed that he himself proposed one of
these days to cschew the goblet, and
quoted a number of stanzas from LIE
gGallienne's Omar Repentant."
" Pretty soon. tho publisher got an
idea for story. Leaning conHdcn

his salary as lieutenant governor, as
the duties Of the banking board were
