Deceased Served Minnesota in
Upper House of Congress
for Sixteen Years

Owned Farm Home Near
Mount Vernon

st. Paul, March 6.-Moses E.
Clapp, former United States senat-
or from Minnesota and onetime
political power in the state died
today at his home in Washington.
Mr.. Clapp was IT year old, and
since his retirement from the SEN
ate in 1917 he had lived in the
Washington vicinity. He had kept
a law office in the capital, but had
not been active in public affairs.
His health had been poor several
years.
Mr.. Clapp was born May FL,
1851, at Delphi, Ind. His parents
moved to Hudson, Wis, in 1857,
where he attended the public
schools, and then went to Madison,
taking a law course and gradual
ing from the University of Wiscon-
sin law school. in 1878. The next
year he was admitted to the bar
and began his practise at Hudson.
When Senator Cushman X. Da-
Wis died in December, 1900, Mr..
Clapp became a candidate for the
vacant position. 1t was filled by
the legislature, which met in Jan
uary, 1901. The contest was not
able in the history of state poll
tics. Robert G. Evans, of Mime
apolis, then United States district
attorney, also was a leading can
didate. Congressman James A.
Tawney entered the race and final
ly Thomas Lowry, of Minneapolis
became a candidate.
The nomination was settled in
a joint republican caucus. One
session ended in a deadlock, with
Evans receiving the largest vote,
but Clapp a close second. St. Paul
members supported Clapp, while
Evans had most of the Minneapo-
lis votes. At the second caucus
session a break came, part of the
Tawney votes going to Evans, but
most of them swinging to Clapp,
who was nominated. His election
in a joint session of the legislature
followed.
At Washington, Senator Clapp
usually took a very Independent
attitude, often going against the
majority of his party. When the
partial term for which he was
elected expired in 1905, he was
reelected by the legislature with
little opposition, and again in 1911.

dance hall last Saturday night
claimed the life Of a second officer
when Deputy Constable Frank Stan.
ner died at the Mercy hospital this
morning at p. m. He died Of
peritonitiS caused by bullet wounds
through his intestines.
Stanner felt confident that he
would live and reassured officers
calling on him as to his condition.
He was known to be slowly sinking
and that death was inevitable but
he did not express doubt as to his
recovery until late Wednesday night.
He lapSed into Inconsistencies
shortly afterward.
No written statement was taken
from him but he gave all informa-
ton that he knew orally to officers.
The body was removed from the
Mercy hospital Thursday morning
and taken to the w. A. Darling un-
dertaking establishment where 1t
will remain pending funeral ar
rangements.
Danville, Ill, relatives of Stanner

died shortly after the gun battle
broke out. Two other men, now
held for investigation, also were
wounded in the melee. They are
Antonio and Manuel Flores. They,
with four others, are lodged in the

All bales in the county have

Over $4,000, 900 Property
At Mercy of Missis-

QUINCY, Ill, April 25.-tP)-The
homes of 1000 people and the
safety of over s4,000,000 worth OF
property lay at the mercy OF the
Mississippi today.
Rain poured last night into the
rivers to the north in Iowa, Illinois
and Missouri after heavy showers
the day before had caused six
inch rise at Keokuk, and the gov
ernmnet observer here said the
river would unquestionably rise
again.
A sensation was caused in the
flood region last night with the
report that danger faced the Sni
drainage district, just below the
non-flooded South Quincy tract.
The Sni area, heretofore believed
entirely safe, comprises 10000
acres and is said to be the largest
drainage district in the world pro-
tected by a single levee.
Flood observers said that another
rise like the one last weekend
would push down the Sni dikes and
bring damage that might reach S3,-
100000.
Only the heroic efforts of a
skilled engineer and construction
crew which had been working on
Improvements have saved the $4,000
acre Lima Lake district this long,
residents there stated, and the
continued safety of the Gregory
district, below Warsaw, Ill, on the
Missouri side, is attributed to more
good luck.
Already a million dollars damage
has been caused In the neighbor-
ing drainage tracts by the floods
which started in March and have
broken all records as far back as
1851 for height and duration.
Water had entirely covered the
South Quincy tract this morning
and the recent residents were
camped along the bluffs in tents
furnished by the Red Cross, or were
STAYING with friends.

AS Arguments Near
Conclusion; Testi-
mony Completed

The Harlingen park site row, be-
ing aired in the civil district court,
entered upon its fourth leg here
today with a possibility that the
case might be In the hands OF the
Jury by night. All the testimony
had been given, and at noon, P. q.
Greenwood, attorney for the plain
tiffs, was arguing motion before
Judge A.. M. Kent with the jury
outside the courtroom.
1t was expected that the defense
and plaintiff arguments before the
jury would be concluded late in the
afternoon.
The plaintiffs allege that the de-
fendants, the Harlingen city COM
mission and several others, paid too
high a price for the Arroyo Colo
RADIO park site and that this con-
stitutes legal fraud upon the tax
payers. The city has issued war
rants in the amount Of $4,000 to
pay for the site. They also state
that issuing of the warrants March
81 and dating them March / caused
the rate Of interest to be over the
legal per cent. This, they de-
clare, is usury and therefore the
warrants are void.
Few were IN attendance at the
court room as the case neared It's
end.
Counsel Volney Taylor for the
defense has decided against calling
OF the sos signers of a Harlingen
petition as announced Wednesday.
The case has moved slowly with
both sides putting large number
Of witnesses on the stand. The
case was enlivened Wednesday with
numerous word battles between the
attorneys. A large number of OBJ

sides.
