CHAMP CLARK PASSES
Veteran Democratic Leader in
House Victim of PIeurisy.
Former Speaker Defeated for Presi-
Dental Nomination by Wilson at
Baltimore Convention.

Washington-Champ Clark, veteran
democratic congressman from Mis-
souri, and former speaker of the house
died at 2:10 p. m. Wednesday,. He was
II years old. He was within two days
Of his retirement from the house Of
representatives after a service of rs
years.
DR.. Shoup said the former speaker
lost consciousness early Wednesday
and that edema of the lu.gs had set in
at 9 a. m. Mr.. Clark's respiration was
described as weak.
Attendants said that before the for
mer speaker fell into a oma his mind
was wandering in his delirium among
memories of his long service in the
house and of legislative battles Of the
past. They had made out, they said,
the words "the question is on agree
ing to the conference report" with
which the speaker brings to it's final
conclusion in the house the fight on
any bill.
Led for Presidency in 1912.
In the democratic national conven-
tfon at Baltimore in 1912, Champ Clark
led on 81 ballots for the nomination as
candidate for president and had a
clear majority on nine ballots, prior tC
the final naming of Woodrow Wilson
The two-thirds rule of the convention
alone prevented MI. Clark's nomina'
ton. The honor which his party thus
paid him was the most notable of his
public life. In American political his
tory Martin Van Buren, was the only
other man who failed Of the democra.
tic nomination for the presidency after
having received a majority Of the
votes in the national convention, but
he enjoyed the novel distinction of be.
ing elected subsequently.

tack on Mr.. Clark at Baltimore, charg
ing him with being affiliated with
leaders representing "the interests, .
held the convention in deadlock fo1
more than a week when it ended in

LOSS OF LIFE APPALLING
100000 People Die in New China
Earthquake.
Thousands Of Those Killed in Dis
turbance Believed on Verge
of Starvation.

Shanghai, China-Renewed earth
quakes, following closely upon othel
disasters which have caused an appall
ing loss of life, have killed 100000 per
sons in Kansu and Shensi provinces
according to advices received here.
The earthquakes, which caused the
greatest loss of life in the famine
stricken districts Of the interior where
1t is almost impossible to send sup
plies and aid in response to hurry
calls, are among the most disastrous
ones suffered in China in years.
" Thousands of those killed in the
quake were believed to have been or
the verge of starvation.
Recent reports gave the death rate
in China from famine alone at $4,000
day. These figures have been greatly
augmented by deaths from the earth
quakes in the Kansu and Shensi dis
tricts and from earthquakes of tn
last few months.
A survey ofrconditions in the interi
or made just before the quake report
ed today, indicated that As, 0OO, 900 per
sons are on the verge Of starvation
and that $4,000, 900 actually will sue
,cumb before spring.
In the Shensi district, which suf
fered heavily in the earthquake, there
are $1,000, 900 persons, more than 5,
600, 900 of whom r facing death from
starvation. Because of these condi
tions, it is feared that thousands O.
persons who might otherwise survive
the shock of the earthquake have dice
or will die.
The dispatch reporting 25O,00(
deaths is believed to refer to the tota.
casualties in this and recent earth
quakes in the same provinces.

Occupation of Duisburg, Dusseldorf,
and Ruhrort Region Threatened II
Teutons Do Not Accept Su-
RENE Councils Terms.

London-Germany was given until
Monday noon to accept the fundamen.
tai conditions laid down by the SUI
preme Allied council at Paris. The
premiers at Paris fixed the amount Of
German reparations at $50, 1000, 000, 900.
The German delegates we're in.
formed by the Allied representatives
that if Germany does not accept those
terms the Allies will take immediate
steps.
The first will be the occupation by
Allied troops of the cities of Duisberg
and Dusseldorf and Ruhrort Eat the
mouth of Ruhr, IL miles west of Els.
SEM.
Second-Each Allied country will
place such a tax on German merchan.
disc as it may deem proper.
Third-A customs boundary along
the Rhine, under Allied control, will be
established.
The German delegation was in.
formed that the only modification of
the Paris reparation decisions permit
ted to Germany would be as regarded
conditions of payment, such as a re.
duction of the period of annuities from
AZ years to 80 years.
Germany's contemporaries, which
were submitted to the Allies on Tues.
day, were not susceptible of examina.
tion, Premier Lloyd George told DR..
Walter Simons, head of the German
delegation, in substance, after a brief
session of the conference had assem-.
bled at St. James palace.
Mr.. Lloyd George said the attitude
taken by the German empire regard.
ing ~reparations was, in addition, a
grave violation of the obligations of
Germany toward the Allies. He re.
minded the German representatives
that their government had not fulfilled
the treaty Of Versailles relative to coal
deliveries, disarmament, the payment
of 10000, 000, 900 marks in gold and
the punishment of German officers and
soldiers accused of crime during the
val
Germany, added the British prime
minister, in refusing to accept, the
concessions proposed by the Allies
with regard to reparations, had by the
same act renounced the advantages
granted her at the previous conference
with the Allies.
fMr. Lloyd George then, on behalf
of the Allies, announced the ultima.
tum.
After Mr.. Lloyd George had fin
ished, Dr.. Simons, for the Germans,
said the intentions of the German gov.
eminent had been quite misunder-
stood. The German delegation, he
said, would reply at noon on Monday.
I'm u opinion" said the German
foreign minister, mo occasion will
arise for the sanctions set forth by the
Allied powers"
DR.. Simons said the Germans would
examine the British prime minister's
speech and the Allied documents care
fully.

Walsh Committee Says 1t Finds
No Evidence of Fraud
or Dishonesty.
FAvORS SINGLE CHIEF
Administration of Fleet BY One Execu-
tive Observation-Disclosures
Declared Without Precedent
in History of World.

MISUNDERSTANDING of the
governments merchant fleet by one
executive instead Of by a seven-mem-
Der board al the law requires, is re-
commended by the Walsh committee
which reported to the House after it's
1S months investigation of the opera
lions Of the Shipping board during and
since the war. The report was unani-
nous, two Democrats joining with four
Republicans on the committee in sign
ing it. This was said to be unusual.
The report reviewed in detail ship
building activities of the government
with the conclusion that considering
the program as a whole the accom-
plishments in the number of ships con
structed, the tonnage secured, and the
time within which ships were com
pleted, these constitute the most re-
markable achievement in shipbuilding
that the world has ever seen"
No Dishonesty Found.
The committee declared it had found
10 evidence to prove that dishonest or
fraudulent motives had actuated any
member of the Shipping board or any
of the trustees of the Emergency Fleet
corporation.
There has been waste and ineffi.
cheney and lack of cooperation in the
tremendous operations of this govern.
ment agency" the report continued.
"The reason or justification given for
this is the stress under the wal emer.
gency.
1T must be remembered that the
Shipping board in dealing with the wal
emergency was confronted with many
difficulties. The program Of construc.
ton as we'll as operation was gigantic.
1t involved an expenditure Of more
than $4,000, 600, 900. a sum greater than
IN expended by any corporation In a
similar period of time.
Little Experience.
Many officials and board members
were without experience either in ship
building or operation. No adequate or.
'ganization existed at the beginning.
Their was a shortage of shipbuilding
Skill as we'll as shipbuilding facilities.
Il ioeu LUZ SHIPS Was imperative
constantly increased during the com.
bat period"
The report mentioned charges that
ian effort had been made to collect
i$260,000 for personal expenses of
Charles M. Schwab while director of
the Emergency Fleet corporations op.
erations, and that R. W. Boiling,
brother-in-law of President Wilson, had
been irregular in his conduct as treas.
&rer of the board. Both had previous.
Fly been exonerated by the committee
which took occasion to reiterate that
the charge involving Mr.. Schwab has
not been proved and is not true,' and
that Mr.. Boiling had not been guilty of
any wrongdoing whatsoever.
