The fight against weight, con-
stantly draining his vitality, made
him particularly susceptible to
pneumonia. And a week ago 1t
got him, and gradually he be-

Of the ruling not yet being at

Senator Watson, Republican
leader in the Senate, said:
"It Is almost too unique to
be true. / do not recall any
authority to bear out Judge
Clark's conclusion, and think it
unfounded, but I dislike COM

Needs Careful Study
"It is easy enough for q
lawyer to give o curbstone
opinion in a case he has not
given careful consideration to,

ably given careful study to 1t.
