riding.
There were no marks OF violence upon

HERO" CLANCY KILLED
BY ROUCHS IN BOSTON
Man Who Showed American Flag
First In Flanders Shot Down
In Dance Hall.

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 24.-Patrolman
William Clancy, of the new Boston
police force, was shot and killed in
cold blood early this morning in
Charlestown dance hall Clancy was
on duty in the hall and demonstrated
with members of an alleged gang
who were attending the dance A short
time afterwards he was shot and al
most instnatly killed. and although
other policemen Immediately blocked
the entrances and detained nearly
four. hundred people, no clue to the
murderer was gained.
Clancy became an international 'fig-
ure two days after America declared
was on Germany. At that time he
was serving in the Canadian army,
though he was born in Boston and
was an American citizen.
ON the morning of April 3, 1917,
during the battle of Vimy Ridge,
Clancy tied one OF his most treasured
possessions-an American flag to his
bayonet and went over the top at the
Germans under the fluttering little
stars and stripes. Clancy was pub
licly congratulated by Walter Hines
Page, American ambassador to Eng
land.
Clancys wife and three-year-old
child are now on their way to this
country from England. They do not
know of his death as yet. He was a
member of the American Legion, and
was well known in Boston and 1ps-
wich, Mass, where he made his home
before joining the Canadian army.

for President attempted to classify
him politically as a progressive Re
publican. but served warning on the
Republicans. that, II they do not ac-
cept Hoover as a candidate, the Dem
ocrats might avail themselves OF this
alluring chance TO have a winning
candidate, Incidentally, he gave a
sort OF vicarious ASSURANCE that Mr.
Hoover would accept the Democratic
nomination.
"The matter was put by the report
ers to Mr.. Hoover, who was ready
with oracular reply. 1t left him free
to do anything that occasion might
suggest -.
"Within four days the New York
World made it's declaration for
Hoover. Explaining Its position, the
World said IL would be glad to sup
port him as a candidate on a platform
that represented the historical prin-
cipIes or the Democratic party 1t
would be glad to support him as an
independent candidate on a platform
of progressive liberalism and II
would mot hesitate to support him as
the Republican candidate on a plat
form representing the kind OF govern
ment which Mr.. Hoover exemplified In

..The worlds declaration set the
old Democratic organization by the
ears. The Senators who meekly
have taken orders from Wilson for
seven years in the hope OF inherit
ing his mantle couldn't see Hoover
with a telescope, and they used a
megaphone in telling 1t to the worli.
But the widespread Hoover upris-
ing left little doubt that the abe
and noiseless Colonel house had done
a good job. The New Republic. u
periodical devoted to spreading Col
onel Houses kind of internationalism
and operated by Colonel Houses per
sonal friends, comes out this week

Hoover as the successor of Wilson

ocratic aspirants are living in dread
that the little Texas colonel will give

ances that would make Hoover unani-
