son, Ky, on March Z, 1850 He was
chriStened James Beauchamp Clark

in Pike county. His next step was into
the Missouri legislature, where he
framed the Missouri primary law, an
antitrust statute. and an Australian
ballot law.
He was first sent to the national
forum in 1898. His election to the
speakership Of the house came in the
sixty-second congress, prior to the
Baltimore convention, and it was by
a united Democracy in recognition of
the contest Mr.. Clark had made
against the rule Of Speaker Cannon.
Mr. Clark had served in every con-
gress since and including the fifty
third, in 1898, except the fifty-fourth,
when he was beaten In the present
Republican congress, the sixtieth, he
was the Democratic floor leader. He
was a candidate at the last election,
but was defeated by T. w. Hukreide,
the Republican candidate in the ninth
Missouri district.
In the Democratic national conven>
ton at Baltimore in 1912, Clark led
on twenty-seven ballots for the nOmi-
nation as candidate for president and
had a clear majority on nine ballots,
prior to the final naming of Woodrow
Wilson. The tWO-thirdS rule alone pre-
vented Clark's nomination.

Washington, MarcA 3.--Champ Clark
died here.
The former speaker of the house
of representatives, who was in his
list wear, died within two days of his
retirement from the house after a serv-
ice of tWenly-siX Years from Missouri.

incident to his age. Up to ten days
ago, when he developed II severe cold,
Mr.. Clark had shared actively in pro-
Ceeding, of the house as Democratic
leader.
To his last conscious moments. the
former speakers mind was engrosSed
with memories of his long legislative

final Inconsistencies, those at his bed
side heard him whisper: The question
is on the adoption of the conference
report"
Al Mr.. Clark'S bedside when the
end came were Mrs. Clark, their son.
Bennett Clark, and their daught +, Mrs
James NJ. Thomson, of New Orleans.
Immediately after the death of Mr.
Clark was announced, the house re-

tative }uCker, Democrat, Missouri,
who made the announcement. said it
was Mr.. Clark's wish as expressed
through his son. that there be no in
corruption of congress in its closing
days.
Immediately on recovering. the
house adopted a resolution providing
for the payment to Mrs. Clark of a
years salary, totalling about $4,000.
During the present session it was
apparent the former speakers health
was failing He walked slowly. with a
dragging step. While he usually was
on the floor and followed proceedings
closely, he rarely engaged in debate
On one or two occasions he spoke at
some length on important questions.

Do You Know
How To Make
A Long Distance Call?

F YOU have business to transact with the
! John Smith Company in Washington,
for instance, there is more than one kind of
telephone call you can make.
If anyone at that place will do, make a
station-to- station call. Give the long dis
lance operator the telephone number, the
name and address, and be sure to tell her you
will talk with anyone.
If it is essential that you talk with MIR.
Smith or some other particular person, make
person-to-person call. In addition to the
number, tell the operator the of the per-
son you want. A person-to-person call means
extra operating work and it costs about
fourth more than Standardization CALL
Read the general information pages Of
your telephone directory for full explanation
of all the various kinds of long distance calls
and how to make them.

DEATH NOT EXPLAINED

Florence, Aug. 23.-Advices from,
Savannah say that the name Of the

on the railroad track near here Fri
day afternoon was j. L. Mock and
not j. l.. Motto as previously given
There were no papers on the mans
body to establish Identification.
His home was originally in Sa-
vannah, where he had wide con-
nectiOn.
The manner of Mock's death re-
mains unexplained. The detective
force of the Atlantic Coast Line is
cooperating with the coroner of this
county in a thorough investigation
1t is stated that the officers are not
satisfied with the theory that the
special agent was thrown from the
train by some one he was supposed
to be attempting to arrest although,
they do not state outright that foul
play of more serious character has
been suspected. The investigation
will be continued.

OVER THOUSAND TO
BE DISCHARGED

Orders have been received at Camp
Jackson to discharge 1900 enlisted
men by Saturday, August 27, on ac-
count Of further reduction of the
army and application will again be
accepted for discharge, the men be-
ing sent home at once.
1t will be remembered that or
ders were issued to discharge en-
listed men upon written application
during the month of July, the idea
being to reduce the enlisted person
mel 80 per cent. However, by July Is
Camp jackson had lost 38 per cent.
and orders came putting stop to all
discharges.
Another order arriving yesterday
reads all men who made application
for discharge up to yesterday, Au-
gust % on account of dependents, will
also be discharged.
There are still about 1900 surplus
men in the camp at the present time
in all organizations and the order
to discharge 1900 men may be the
result Of decision to reduce all
surplus.
1t is possible also that the order
is merely the result Of the plan to fur
thcr decrease the army-The State.
