gave that first indication of what he

A gage largely in the practice of interna

Mr. Wllson's start in life was in the
law. Graduated from the University
- of Virginia, in his native state in
de 1881. he practiced in Atlanta two
to years, and then in 1883 practiced in
ra Baltimore while doing post-graduate
reI work at Johns Hopkins University. It
was then his writings attracted first
attention, and he wrote his volume on
congressional government. He aban
doned the law soon after, however,
and began collegiate work.
With the announcement that Mr.
Wilson would practice law, official
SWashington asked: "Is he physically
able to do so?"
Rear Admiral Grayson. Mr. Wilson's
physician, said his patient could, and
that he would be able to appear in the
of Supreme Court "occasionally." Those

of eip activities will be as a counws lcr.
d- It was said at the White House that
ad Mr. Wilson will apply for admission to

ot the United States.
o Probably no announcement has sar
a prised Washington more during recent
a months. Mr. Wilson kept his own

CHAMP CLARK DEAD
AFTER LONG SERVICE
VICTIM OF COLD AND INFIRMI.
TIES OF OLD AGE-CONGRE88
MOURNS ITS LOSS.
Washington.-Death has closed the
career of Champ Clark of Missouri, for
more than a quarter century a tower
ing figure in national politics, a stal
wart of the Democratic party.
He died in the shadow of the capi
tol, Just over the way from the hotel
where he has lived many yealu. House
and Senate seethed in the closins
hours of the Conlress of which he
was an honored member and leader.
The stir of legslative battle was
with him to the end. He lived again
In memory, as his pulses flagged,
days of the eight years he wielded the
speaker's gavel in the House. Those
sorrowing at his bedside heard the
old chlef matter in his last delirium
"The question is on adoption of the
conference report"
By mandate more btnding than any
written law, Congress baely halted
in reverence to mark the passing of
the aged member. Knowing the vital
urgency of time in the closnng days of
a Congress, the farmer speaker seant
word to both houses, from what he
knew was his death bed, that no halt
in public business should be made at
his death.
In obedience the House halted a
half-bhour in adjournment then march
ed on with its crowded program.
In that pressing work Mr. Clark
took active hare up to a little more
then 10 days ago, advising. his party
colleagus as Demoerate leader until
a cold struck him down to become a
victim to the infirmities of his 70
years of driving life. His death threw
a shadow over every fce la the
bhamber when Representatve Rucker
if the Missouri delegation arose to
Manoune it, his voice choked with
emotion. It was a halthing brief ulo
_ heo pronouaed, but he drew hera
members sigs of sorrow more ele

Washington.-Eiimination of the
excess profits and other objectionable
taxes, the reduction of the tax burden
generally and a simplification of the
tax system are the prospective out
standing features of the revision of
the-revenue law by the sixty-seventi
Congress, which President Harding

session.
duced will depend upon the margin
MI. of prospective revenue over prospec
tive expenditure and such refinancing
of government obligations as may be
decided upon.
The appropriations for the next
fiscal year were cut one-third below
the the departmental estimates. Even so,
for the total, including the 11 measures
er- passed and signed by the president,
Al- the army bill passed both houses but
killed by a "pocket veto," and the
,p- naval bill which was flibustered to
tel death in the Senate, ran above $3,
800,000,000. Included in this total is
abut $500.000,000 for the postal ser
vice paid out of postal receipts.
If no other expenditures were to:
be made during the fiscal year and if
no funds were to be used toward the
retirement of the floating debt there
probably would be a surplus of about
$1,6500,000,000 out of anticipated reve
nue.
The problem confronting Congress
Is whether this surplus should be used I
toward wiping out the floating debt
as was advocated by former Secretary
of the Treasury Houston, whether obh
Jectionable taxes such as the excess
profits tax should be repealed and no
substitute provided, or possible con
tingencies, including the enactment of
soldiers' bonus legislation, make it ad
visable to impose new taxes in place
of those repealed.
The revenue in prospect outrlng the
fiscal year beginning July 1, 1921, and
ae ending June 30, 1922, for which ap
ag propriations were Just made, totals
