William Dean Howells Quotes
What Clemens Would Say .
to Gathering
(Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Nov. "William
Dean How tils presided at the memorial
to Mark Twain tonight in Carnegie
Mil. Joseph G. Cannon of the house
and Champ .Clark, speaker that may
be, spoke from tho same, platform. Dr.
Henry Van Dyke of Princeton, Henry
Watterson, George W. Cable, Booth
Tarkington, J. Plerpont Morgan, John
Luther Long and many others were
at the meeting, Hinder tho auspices of
the Academy of Arts and Letters.
'1 believe I can safely promise," Mr.
Howells said, "that the commemora
tion will not be formal or funereal.
Th* man himself could no more be
formalized than llame. * His vivid
genius ranged at will through all the
ways of life. Now that it Is freed to
the pathless amplitude of the skies, it
could hardly offer a pattern of con
ventional observation. We might im
agine him saying tonight.
•'Why, of course you must not make
a solemnity of it. I want you to be
serious about me—that is, sincere, and
you could not be sincere if you ran to
eulogy. But we don't object to affec
tion; we liko to be liked as well as
ever, and If any of you can remember
some creditable thing about me I
should not mind his telling it, pro
vided he did not blink at the palliat-
ing circumstances, the mitigating mo
tives, the selfish considerations that
always accompany every noble action.
At the same time I don't suppose a
commemoration is exactly the occa
sion for dwelling on a • man's short
comings in his life or his literature.*"
Joseph Choate recalled that Darwin
used to say he kept the remedies for
sleeplessness at the. head of his bod—
the Bible and "Innocents Abroad."
"And Darwin said he did not know
which he read the most."
LETTER TO CANNON
Uncle Joe Camion told how Clemens
came to Washington in the interest of
the copyright lav. "He wrote, me a.
letter and brought, it to me in the
speaker's room." As read by Mr. Can
non, the letter ran:
."'Dear Uncle Joe: Please give me
the thanks of congress, not next week,
but right away. It is very necessary.
Do accomplish this at once, by per
suasion if you can, by violence if you
must, for it is absolutely necessary that
I get on the floor for two or throe
hours and talk to the congressmen,
man by man. I have arguments with
ma. Also a barrel with liquid in it. I
have stayed away from congress and
let It alone for seventy-one years and
I am entitled to its thanks. Congress
knows this well and it never has pub
licly acknowledged its appreciation.
Send me a reply at once with an order
on the sergeant-at-arms. With love
and benediction, Mark Twain."
Congressman Champ Clark of Mis
souri spoke of "Mark Twain as a Lob
byist." "On a memorable day," said
Clark, "Mark Twain descended upon
lie capltol in gorgeous attire and swept
everything before htm. In tho dead of
winter he wore a suit of white flannels,
whlta as the snow which filled the air.
"Ho created a profound sensation,
which was strictly utilitarian, and cun
ningly planned for effect upon hard
headed,, matter-of-fact solons. . The
subject of his lobbying was improve
ment in the copyright laws, which were
sadly en need of Improvement. As long
as he remained in the capltol it was al
most impossible to maintain a quorum
in the house, so eager were members to
form his acquaintance and listen to his
conversation. - All men and women, and
even little children in the street, vied
with one another to do him honor.
"The great-hearted Missourian en
joyed it to the limit. He talked with
perfect abandon on a multitude of sub
jects, and all the while he lobbied—
lobbied skillfully—lobbied in delightful
manner—lobbied with side-splitting
yarns—lobbied with philosophical re
marks— lobbied*with wealth of remin
iscence—lobbied with fetching • argu
ment for justice—and accomplished the
substance of what he .sought—a rich,
benefaction to American authors."

CLUBMAN'S WIFE
DIES IN PRISON;
SHAME IS BLAMED
Mrs. Alice Clemshire, Who Made
Stir at Long Beach, Expires
Suddenly at Oakland
FACED LOS ANGELES CHARGES
Deputy from Sheriff Hammel's
Office Going for Woman
When Death Interferes
Suffering keenly from the disgrace
of her arrest and knowing that a dep
uty from Sheriff Hammel's office was
on his way north to bring her back to
Los Angeles to stand trial on a crim
inal charge, Mrs. Alice C. Clemshire,
wife of a prominent. Oakland clubman,
dropped dead yesterday morning In the
Alameda county Jail. The woman was
well known both !n Los Angeles and
in Long Beach and is said to have vic
timized several firms In both cities. At
the time of her death she was dis
cussing her troubles with tho jail ma
tron. A physician, called to examine
her, _.__,., death due to heart dis
ease, but Mrs. Clemshire's friends in
the northern city say she died of
shame.
Mrs. Clemshire first attracted atten
tion in Long Beach several months
ago, when she took a suite of expen
sive apartments at Hotel Virginia. She
is said to have represented herself as
the possessor of millions and she lived
on a most extravagant scale. .To the
friends she made at the hotel she ex
plained that Charles M. Schwab had
been her business mentor and adviser
and said that he had made investments
for her which had proved tremendously
lucrative.
At one time Mrs. Clemshire told the
hotel management that Mr. Schwab
was coming to Long Beach with a
party of his friends and said he had
requested her to reserve apartments
for his use. She looked at several
suites and even fixed the date of the
steel magnate's arrival, but her story
proved to be a myth.
Mrs. Clemshire claimed also to be a
physician and is said to have given
treatments to several of the , hotel
guests. She paid her bills at the hotel
promptly and on several occasions ex
hibited considerable sums of money.
OIltL'S SUIT IS DROPPED
At the same time it was reported
that she had been sued for $50 by a
young woman residing in Los Angeles,
who explained that the money had
been paid by her on "Dr." Clemshire's
representation that I she could secure
for her client a good paying position in
the public service. The place was not
forthcoming, and when threats had no
avail a suit was begun, the action being
dismissed later. It is said, because the
money was repaid.
Mrs. Clemshire visited several real
estate firms in Long Beach and repre*
sented that she desired to purchase
property in that city on which to erect
a home, but her deals never reached a
final stage, the woman giving one ex
cuse after another for withdrawing
from her verbal contracts.
In Los Angeles, it is said, Bullock's
department store was victimized for
several hundred dollars' worth of mer
chandise, Mrs. Clemshire securing
credit through tales of her imaginary
wealth. It was this step that resulted
in her arrest and subsequent death, as
the store management secured a com
plaint against the woman, charging her
with obtaining goods under false pre
tenses. Meantime she had left the Vir
ginia suddenly, but she was traced to
Oakland and there arrested on a re
quest from Sheriff Hammel.
When the sheriff was notified of her
arrest he"at once 'sent Deputy Woods
north to bring her back to Los Angeles.
Oakland friends of the dead woman
say that she had become mentally de
ranged and declare she was not re
sponsible for her actions while in this
part of the state.

Representatives of 95 Per Cent
of Business Meet and All
See Favorable Outlook
NEW YORK, Nov. 30.—The price of
! steel will not- be cut. Forty of the
leading producers and their represen
tatives, who stand for approximately
95 per cent of the production of the
country, met here today and decided
it was for the good of the Industry to
keep quotations where they are.
Among these were: .Judge E. H.
Gary and W. E. Cory,-chairman and
president respectively of the U. S.
Steel corporation; John A. Topping,
chairman of the Republic Iron and
Steel company: Willis L. King, vice
president of the Jones & Laughlln
Steel company; Charles M. Schwab,
president of the Bethlehem Steel Cor
portion; E. S. Clark, president of the
Lackawanna Steel company; Alexis
W. Thompson, president of the Inland
Steel company, and Wallace H. Rowe,
president of the Pittsburg Steel com
pany, all of the members of the Amer
ican Iron and Steel Institute, of which
Judge Gary is president
Since the last meeting of the insti
tute two months ago, when a similar
agreement was reached, there - has
been an understanding in the trade
that. some manufacturers were,' not
living up to this gentlemen's agree
ment. When' last the small makers
cut prices the United States Steel cor
poration followed their lead and went
after the market aggressively with a
consequent general unsettlement of the
"barometer of business.",
At the close of the meeting Judge
Gary gave out the following state
ment:
"Representatives of about 95 per cent
in tonnage capacity of the manufac
turers of steel -in America met at
luncheon, and the two hours follow
ing wero occupied In ascertaining the
condition of business In this . particu
lar line and in the expressions of
opinion concerning present, prices. It
was stated that on the average of all
branches the bookings were about 50
per cent of capacity and the ship
ments somewhat In excess. There has
been a slight, though marked Increase,
In daily bookings, month by month,
since the first of August to the. present
time. Without exception, the view ex
pressed by those present regarding the
future were favorable.

ARIZONANS FIGHT
RAISE IN SALARIES
Message on Recall Promises to
Be Bitterly Contested at
f Session Today
■ PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 30.—1n a ses
sion replete with heated speeches, acri
monious remarks and grievous appli
cation of the ax to salaries of prospec
tive state officials the constitutional
convention established a record this
afternoon by the final passage of al
most half of the proposed constitution,
including complete provisions for the
executive, legislative and judicial de
partments of the state. in addition to
the primary election ordinance passed
at the morning session. Only -he re
call measure remains on the secre
tary's desk, and this will come before
the convention tomorrow for probably
the bitterest struggle of the conven
tion.
The salaries of all supremo and su
perior Judges, governor and secretary
of state were relentlessly attacked by
economically inclined members, led by
Winsor of Yuma, though Weinberger
of Gila led an-attack on salaries of.
supreme judges. When Winsor moved
to cut the superior judges' salaries In
Maricopa, Cochise,- Pima, Yavapai and
Gila counties to $4100 and all others to
$3000 the convention was thrown into
an uproar. Most of the attorneys op
posed the reduction on the ground that
efficient judges could not be obtained
at those salaries.
Kingan made strenuous opposition.
He wanted to know if any members
wanted a competent judge or a black
smith to pass on their rights. Ho was
answered by cries of "blacksmith."
Coalter of Apache county asked what
become of all "blacksmiths" who had
been on the Arizona bench heretofore.
Kingan's speech ended abruptly. The
reduction was finally effected by a vote
of 31 to 16. The judiciary measure was
then adopted as amended.
The executive measure came up next
and was adopted, 42 to 8, after an
amendment was carried to reduce the
governor's salary $5000 to $4000 and tbe
secretary's from $4000 to $3000.
The third reading of the legislative
department measure caused even more
debate than that of the judiciary, del
egates from Maricopa, Pinal and the
new county of Greenlee striving vainly
to obtain more representation in the
lower house of the legislature. It was
claimed that unjust discrimination had
been shown by the leglsltaive commit
tee, but after many proposed amend
ments the defeated measure was adopt
ed and tho convention adjourned till
tomorrow.

Lord Rosebi ry. In the course of a
speech today at Manchester, said:
"The house of lords lias ceased to ex-
It.; it has surrendered Its powers to
the nation. This is a tact of enormou-
importance."
Lord Roaebery admitted that it was a
deathbed repentance, but he contend
ed that deathbed repentance, if sincere,
was valid and valuable.
Mr Balfour's adoption of the referen
dum is generally attributed to pressure
from on influential section of the Un
ionist free traders, led by Lord Cromer,
although it is claimed by the bulk of
the Unionist party, once their surprise
was over, as a master stroke of skill
fill electioneering. The opposition lead
er's change of tactics took the old con
servative! completely aback and caused
consternation among tho ardent pro
tectionists.
The Liberals, on the other hand, char
acterize Balfour's attitude as adroit
slipperiness and opportunism. The Lib
eral leaders have not yet had time to
adjust themselves to the changed con
ditions.
MAY COST $10,000,000
David Lloyd-George, chancellor of the
exchequer, speaking at Llandrindrod
Wells tonight, reiterated that the cost
of a referendum would be $10,000,000. It
was a mere device, he said, to put a.
more effective weapon In tho hands of
the wealthy classes. Tho Liberals would
none of it.
Augustin Blrrell, chief secretary for
Ireland, speaking at Bristol, said Bal
four's proposal of the referendum was
delusive, dangerous and unworkable,
and calculated to destroy free represen
tative government.
The home secretary, Winston Church
ill, addressed two meetings at Shef
field tonight. He said no day passed
without some tory leader overthrowing
some ancient principle of the tory
party. Nothing was more astonishing
in this wonderful, election than the
panic that had overtaken that onco
proud and powerful party. Mr. Church
-11l was again subjected to suffragist
disturbances, several unruly persons
having been ejected from the hall.
The Ulster movement is growing
apace throughout the province. The
Ulster men have taken a strong stand

two days. i
