Champ Clark Goes
 To Death BraUety

Washington, March 2.-Death closed today the career of Champ Clark of Missouri, for more than a quarter century towering figure in national politics, a stalwart of the Democratic party.
 He died in the shadow of the cap itol, just over the way from the hotel where he has lived for many years. House and Senate seethed in the closing hours of the Congress of which he was an honored member and leader.
 The stir of legislative battle was with him to the end. He lived again in memory, as his pulses Jagged, days of the eight years he wielded the speakers gavel in the House. Those sorrowing at his bedside heard the old chief mutter in his last deluium:
 "The question is on adoption of the conference report.
 By mandate more binding than any written law, Congress barely halted in reverence to mark the pass ing of the aged member. Knowing the vital urgency of time in the closing days of Congress, the former speaker sent word to both houses, from what he knew was his death bed, that no halt in public business should be made at his death.
 In obedience the House halted a half hour in adjournment, then marched on with its crowded pro- gram.
 In that pressing work MT. Clark took active share up to little more than 10 days ago, advising his party colleagues as Democratic leader un- til a cold struck him down to be- come a victim to the infirnities of his 70 years of driving life. His death threw a shadow over every face in the chamber when Represen- tative Fucker of the Missouri dele gation arose to announce it, his voice checked with emotion. It was halting, brief eulogy he pronounc- ed, but he drew from members signs of sorrow more eloquent than words. The motion for half-hour adjourn ment was made by Representative Mondeil, Republican leader.
 Mr. Clark would have been Il had he lived until next Monday. But his 26 years of service in the House would have ended Friday, for he was defeated for reelection.

Three Years Tax Exemption.

Wisconsin has been granted a virtual
subsidy by the state, in the form of a
three-year tax exemption, appears to
be known only in a limited circle

The tax commission has replied to
two or three letters of inquiry. A

seems TO be general misspprehenslon
