Can't Tnfco Oath Inside.
Mr. Harding will be sworn In
on tho east portico. Tho original
Idea was to have him take tho
oath inside tho building, but Gen
eral Dawes used all they had
thorc. Hoth Mr. Harding and
.Mr. Coolldgo will both mako
speeches and I called up Mr.
Hurlcson to find out what they
wero going to talkxnbout, but ho
Raid hu, didn't know nobodys ad
dress, Protty near all thu mem
bers of tho Harding cabinet Is In
town all ready. Mr. Weeks called
on Newt yestorday and asked him
all about tho war department nnd
will go to work next Saturday
with an open mind. It was Ben
erally supposed that Chan Hughes
was going to bo Secretary of
State till It como out In tho papers
this morning that ho had moved
liere with his family and took a
house, so It looks llko ho Intended
phy by tho arm and took him out
of tho room. Then Mcacham said
to me: 'You call mo a liar, do you?'
And then ho started hammering
mo."
Hovercnd Crum said ho !d not
strike back at tho officer, but Just
to d
" ?-how m
many
times Mracham hit him.
Saw IxKH if Stars.
I do know that ho mussed up
ono sldo of my face so that 1
couldn't go on to Oklahoma City to
tho Y. M. C A. convention, uiu
minister said
"No, I woiildnt want to cstlmato
how many times hn hit me, and If
you'd ask me how many stars I saw
I'd toll you I couldn't count thorn."
ltevcrend Crum said ho hoped to
bo able to appear In the pulpit of
his church Sunday, but didn't know
whether ho could.
"I don't want to stir up nny trou.
bio about this," tho minister said.
"I'm not golnu to filo any charges
against tho officer. Put I do say
that ho was most unreasonable and
overhearing from tho very first. If
hn had showed his star at first I
would have accompanied him with
out a protest, ns I did whon ho later
showed his authority.

LONDON. March 2. The Or
mans tomorrow will hear the ultl
juato decision of tho allies on thn
reparations counter proposals' which
Dr. Simons, durinan foreign secre
tary and head of tho German dele
gation, presented yesterday, and tho
consequences which will follow their
fnlluro to comply with thn allies'
terms.
A statement Issued after a meet
ing of the supremo 'council tonight
described the counter proposals as
meriting "neither examination nor
discussion." Details of proposed
stops to enforce the allied demands
are withheld tonight, It being con
sidered only an act of courtesy lo
let tho Germans hear them before
they aro published. Hut It is le,irnd
that the Ilrltlsh premier hao been
won over to the French view.
Llojd Geoign With French.
Mr. I.loyd George consented today
to tho employment of armed forces
In tho event of Germany's non-com-pllnueo,
to tho extent of the occu
pation of Mannheim by French and
Helgian troops and also of tho Huhr
ports on tho Hhlnc.
Thero may possibly also bo n
blockade of German ports, although
some of the powers oppose tills.
Tho reply Is described In somo
circles as being In tho nature of :m
ultimatum. The surlouHiicss of tho
step which Is being taken, both In
refusing to discuss tho German
counter propoHals and In thu action
to follow, may bo Judged hy tho
lone and earnest consideration Urn
allies gavo to It. Tho French pre
mier, -M. Hrland, favors Immedlatn
action, on tho ground that the Ger
mans aro evading tho terms of tho
treaty, while the, Hrltlsh and Ital
ians have advised against tho pre
cipitate movements. After a long
conference on tho proposed eco
nomic and military meusures, In
which Marshal Koch, Field Marshal
Wilson and Italian and Halglan ex
perts participated, a unanimous" de
cision was reached.
Germans Aro Despondent.
Members ot tho German delega
tion wero despondent tonight when
their hopes that differences mlKht
arlso between the allies to- lighten
their country's burden were dashed
by tho finding of tho conference.
Ono of them remarked:
"Well, perhaps that Is tho only
way out. If Hrland yielded his gov
ernment would fall; If we yielded

Ifore, the only course Is for tho

WASHINGTON, March 2.-
-Death
closed todny the career of Cham,!
Clark ot Missouri, for moro than a
quarter century a towering figure In
nntlonal politics, a stalwart of stal
warts In tho democratic party.
Hn died In the very shndow of the
cnpltol, Just over tho way from the
hotel where ho hnn- lived innny yenrs.
House nnd sennto soothed In the
closing bourn of the congress of
which he won nn honored member
nnd lender.
Tho stir of legislative hattlo wns
with him (o the end. lie lived again
In memory, as his pulses flagged,
days of tho eight years he wielded
the speaker's gavol In tho house.
Those sorrowing at his bedsldo
heard the old chieftain mutter In hln
last delirium:
"The question Is on adoption ot
the conference report,"
Congress Hardy If nit.
Ily mandate more binding than
nny written law, congress barely
halted In rnvnronco to mark tho
passing of the agod member. Know
ing tho vital urgency ot tlmo In the
closing days ot a congress, tho ter
mor speaker went word to hoth
houses, from what he know was his
death bed, that no hnlt In public
business nhould he made nt his
death.
In obedience, tho house, peopled
with his personal friends, halted a
short half-hour in adjournment then
marched on with Its crowded pro
gram. in that premlhy work, Mr. Clark
took active shnro up to a llttlo morn
than ten days ago, counseling his
party colleagues nn democratic lend
er, until a cold struck him down to
become a victim in tho Infirmities ot
his 70 years of driving llfo that reck
oned nothing ot his own physical
volfaro. Ills death threw a shadow
over every fnco In the chamber when
Hnprrsontntlve Itucker ot the Mis-
iiourl delegation, arose to announce
It, his voice choked with emotion.
It was u halting, brief eulogy ho
pronounced but ho drew from mem
bers irlguM of sorrow more eloquent
than words can tell of the place tho
dead leader held In their affection
and respocL The motion for a half
hour adjournment waa made by
Representative Mondell, republican
leader.
Mr. Clark would have been 71
years old had he lived until next
Monday. Hut his 20 years' ot sorv
Ice In the houso would have ended
Friday, for he was defentod for re
election. Not Klinken by Defeat
In the rrubdned talk while the
houso paused in honor ot bin mem
ory, frlond ot years' standing
iieorned tho suggestion that the
stout heart of tho Mlssourlan had
been shaken by political defeat.
That be had foreseen long in ad
vance, they said. It was a more per
sonal mnttor that had broken his
spirit, they Insisted, tho death a year
ngo ot his- Idolized, 3-year-old grand
son, nml namesake. Champ Clark
Thomson.
Since that blofo, It wnn said, Mr.
Clark's collcnguen had noted a wan
ing of his keen Intercut In public af
fairs and a little droop to tho mas
sive, shoulders so familiar through
tho yearn In the corridors- of the
cnpllnl.
Thero was ono thing upon which
nil wero ngreed, that Mr. Clark, had
died ns he wished to die, In tho har
uoss ot his life work. He had
planned retirement to his home In
Howling Green, Mo., nftcr March 4,
but tho end found him still serving
his country and titlll In tho house.
That made It possible for tho house
to vote his widow a year of bor hus
band's salary as lis first business
when the memorial adjournment
was over.

Dr. Jomso Shoup, Mr. Clark's physi
cian, had llttlo hope from the day
