CHAMP CLARK dies
AS HIS WORK ENDS
Former Speaker, at II, Had Two
More Days to Complete rs
Years of Service.

WashingtOn.-FOrm Speaker Champ
Clark, a Democratic leader of the
National House of Representatives for
twenty years, died ''in the harness." the
way he wanted to go, as he had often
told his colleagues, and as he had
prayed in the last few days when he
saw the inevitable approach Of the
end. He would have been seventy
one years old in five days.
Death claimed him only two days
before the end Of twenty-six years
(the last twenty-fOur continuously serv-
ice as representative of the Ninth dis
trict of Missouri, stepping in just in
time to prevent his forced retirement,
, following defeat for reelection last
\ November.
Those who were at his bedside dur
ing the two weeks Of wavering be-
tween life and death say that, when
he realized that the fates We're fixed,
and that he must soon go, he prayed
to be taken before the gavel should
fall at noon of March 4.
Ills last message, given through his
son, Col Bennett Clark, in one of the
moments of consciousness of the last
day or two, was a hope that Congress
would not let this death interfere with
the completion of its legislative pro-
gram. This was announced on the
floor ten minutes after his death. The
House, nevertheless, with its business
in good shape, stood in recess for
thirty minutes from 300 to 2:52
O'Clock at the request of Republican
Floor Leader Mondell.
Following the recess Representative
James r. Mann offered a resolution,
which was adopted, paying Mrs Clark
$500, the customary action of Con-
gress upon the death of sitting

PLAYER IS
 FINED 5000 FRANCS
Has Four Months in Prison and Money
 Penalty for Injuring

Paris, Aug. 18.-A ROuen court mas condemned a football player to four months in prison and to pay fine of ,0OO francs for injuring another play er during match. This is te first time such sentence has been delivered ln France and if the judgment is held on appeal, it is believed in sporting circles that 1t will have lasting effect on sports, as players will hesitate to risk going to prison for a game. The Olympic Club of Paris was playing the Rouen club (Association) and during the first half Aymard (Rouen) had to leave the ground on account of an injury to his eye after a collision with the international player, Langenove, (Olympic). The day was very foggy and only two or three players could see what really happen ed.
 The Rouen club lodged a complaint with the French Football Federation which found it impossible to obtain proof of misconduct against Langen- | ove. Aymard then sued Langenove be- fore the Rouen courts and the fore going judgment was given by default.
 French courts always give the max
 imum penalty when they condemn any oHe WHO OOeS HOL AppedI AOI IIree1, Du.
 the sentence may be changed if the condemned man takes the case to ap- peal.
 Langenove says he never received a
 summons to appear before the court
 He was a student at St. Cyr Military
 college when the match was played
 and was in garrison at Mayence when
 | the case was heard. When he charged
 l Aymard, the latter said: ''It wasn't decent to charge me like that" Lan- genove said, there is no truth in the
 laccusation that I struck him with my fist"

NEAR PANIC IN
 CHAUTAUQUA TENT
Center Pole Bends, But Big
 Canvass Does Not Fall

Presence of mind on the part of ness on the part of the audience averted what might easily have been a panic at the fairly we'll filled Chautauqua tent last night.
 During a lecture by Harry R. Me Keen on economic principles and ideals of citizenship, the large iron centerpole of the tent buckled under the tremendous weight of rain water and threatened to drop. Words of reassurance on the part of MT. Mc- Keen and Superintendent Kent finally convinced the audience that it was impossible for either the tent or the pole to come down. A few seats were changed so as to be out of range, of the swinging pole and although Mr. Kent offered to stop the program and permit the people to go home, assuming that they naturally would feel little nervous, the audience insisted upon MT. Mo Keen completing his lecture, which he did.
 Immediately following the pro- gram, Tent Captain Paul Crosby got on the job with his crew and re- pared the defective polce so that there will be no danger of 9 repiti- tion of the accident.
 ''Chautauqua is an addition to the educational facilities of the city which New Britain people like to have. It has a tendency to uplift the morals of the community said Mayor O. F. Curtis yesterday after noon as he introduced Superinten- dent Samuel N. Kent and his staff Abram Buol in presenting the mayor spoke of Chautauqua being nek venture in the city and his conf1- denoe in the feeling that New Bri- tain people would be very much pleased with this type of entertain ment.
 "The Chautauqua idea is to instill higher and better ideals into the people of New Britain, to make the poor spirit in the city good, and to make the good spirit better" said Superintendent Kent in response. The lecture yesterday by MT. Kent was masterful argument in favor of immediate disarmament. Col umbia artists rendered during the aft ernoon and evening, vocal and in
 
 talking machine records.
 Those of the Columbia artists in. clue Torcom Bea Bezazian and Misses Edna White and Florence Dewey Piano, cornet and violin music wal added to the vocal selections. ThI. evening a lecture on Work, Wealth and Welfare" will be delivered b3 Leslie Willis Sprague. Tomorrow evening pr. Russel H. Conweu vii render his famous lecture, Acres ol Diamonds"

of the Detroit Tigers to Pass
 On.
 Detroit, Aug. 1S.-With today the last on which options could be exer- cised for the services of Owen "Donie'' Bush for 13 years a mainstay in the infeld of the Detroit clubs. Tiger fans anticipated an early announcement as to the scene of the future activities of the midget shortsop.
 Announcement that waivers had been asked on Bush was made by Frank J. Navin, president of the De- troit team last night.
 Two major league organizations which is was said have put in bids for Bush had until tody to take advantage of their claims and in the event neith- CT takes over the player, Bush will be entitled to his release under the ten year service rule. In we'll informed quarters, the re- lease of Bush was taken to indicate that the local management had begun to put into operation contemplated plans for strengthening the Tigers. Bush came to Detroit from the 1n- dianapolis club of the American As sociation late in 1908. For many years he was the leadoff man and although never classified As a slugger, had a reputation for timely hitting and was considered a hard man to pitch to.
 From a fielding standpoint Bush left little to be desired in the opinion ot local fandom.
