CHAMP CLARK DIES, DECADE
DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP
House Of Representatives Hears Announcement Of Death
Of Former Speaker in D cad Silence and Takes

crossed towards friendship.
The veteran congressman was
known and loved by young and old
members of the House. One Of his
friends was James Mann, long his
opponent on the floor, where he led
the republicans while Clark led the
democrats.
Defeated Last November.
Clark was defeated last November,
the fEst time in a score of years.
On March 4 he would have ended his
term in congress and seen the lead
ership he had held SO long given
into the hands Of his friend, Claude
Kitchin, Of North Carolina.
The hotel where Clark died is less
than a block from the House of Rep
resentatives. Word of his death was
brought to the House while 1t was
cleaning up conference reports in
preparation for adjournment Friday.
A dead silence met the announcement
and the House Immediately recessed
for 80 minutes.
Soon after, Bennett Clark, a son,
sent word asking that the House not
adjourn. He said he believed that
it would have been his fathers wish
o see the legislative business cleaned
up at the close Of the session.
Will Be Buried at Bowling Green.
Bennett Clark said his fathers
burial will be at Bowling Green. Mis-
souri,. Details will be decided later.
An operation to drain the pleural
cavity only temporarily relieved the
sick man. Clark suffered several
sinking spells, but, because of his
determined spirit, he made remark
able rallies. Each spell, however,
left the veteran weaker than before
and for the last few days no hope
was held for his recovery.
College President at II.
Clark was born in 1850 in Ander-
son county, Kentucky, and educated
in the common schools and at the
University of Kentucky. Later he
attended Cincinnati law school. At
81 he became the president of Mar
shall College, West Virginia, being

WASHINGTON, March 2. Omitted
Press. Champ Clark died today
still the leader of his party in the
House OF Representatives.
Friends said the veteran died az
he wanted-with his political boots
on. Until two weeks before his
death he had been on the floor OF
the House daily, directing his party
there.
His death, coming within 48 hours
of the departure OF Woodrow Wilson
fro mthe White House marks with
dramatic emphasis the close Of de-
cade Of democratic party leadership
in the nation.
Clark died at 2:10 o'clock this
afternoon.
At his bedside were his wife, his
son, Bennett Clark, and his daughter
Mrs. James M. Thompson, Of New
Orleans. The House recessed 80
minutes Immediately upon learning
of Clark's death.
Suffered from Pleurisy.
Clark had been i'll for some time
suffering from pleurisy, complicated
by stomach trouble.
Death had been expected for sew
|eral days, his physicians having given
up hope of his recovery.
Clark would have been II years
old next Monday. Three days before
his birthday Clark would have re-
tired from congress where he served
continuously since 1895, having been
speaker for eight years.
In 1910, Clark, as democratic
leader, played part in the near
overthrow OF Speaker Joe Cannon
and his prominence in that tight

My dear Or. Mitchell,-l have your
letter of June 6, signed by yourself
and three other gentlemen associat ed
with you and asking my personal
views as to whether ii is wiser to
permanently develop the Medical
School of the University OF Virginia
at Charlottesville or at Richmond.
My letters to DIR. iiough. and par
ticularly those of the o1st of Deem
Der and OF the 10th of January, would
seem TO make clear my position.
Il have tried to set forth in these
letters that. given an unlimited
amount OF money. Il strong medical
school could be developed in either
location. but that such a solution OF
the question left out Of view matters
of general policy which seem of pri
mary Importance.
From the standpoint OF admins
tration. it Is simpler question for
the University of Virginia to develop
Il medical school on its own campus.
Such school would probably remain
OF the type of the present excellent
but limited institution. Ninety-seven
miles away is the city Of Richmond.
