NEW YORK. April 11. General Fred-

The death of Major Feneral Frederick

whether he will get the vacancy In the
higher rank er whether tome other wiu

In the authorised strength f the army

that rank April 1 1M1. Thomas 4.

MISS CLARA
(Associated Prttt Report.)
WASHINGTON April 12. Miss Clara
Barton founder of the American Rea
Cross and probably the most widely
known American woman of her day died
at her home red Cross In Glen Echo
Md . tts morning at 9 o'clock. She was
90 years of age.
Miss Barton suffered an attack of pneu-
monia tn February 1911 had a relapse
and the disease became chronic. f-'he
went last summer as usual to her old
home In Oxford Maes. and returned to
Glen Echo In feebler health last autumn.
Muscular weakness of the heart devel-
oped and for weeks the condition of the
venerable nurse bad been such aa to cause
grave concern among her friends. Her
bright mind was undlmmed almost to the
last and her ready wit and quick repartee
made her sick room a place of cheer to
her attendants. With her when the end
came were her nephew Stephen Barton
of Boston and Dr. J. B. Hubbell.
The great regret of Miss Barton's last
months owing to her feeble condition
made it necessary for her to suspend
work on her autobiography. Bhe had
brought this work down only to the be-
ginning of her public career aa a civil
war nlrse. A woman whose training had
fostered habits of precision she lias left
behind practically the entire correspond-
ence of her publto career as well as other
data bearing upon her international hos-
pital work and tbe work which sbe herself
began will be completed by other hands.
.The last years of the great Bed Cross
nurse had been spent in retirement. She
maintained her winter home la Glen Rcho
but passed a part of each summer at her
birthplace in Massachusetts.
Miss Barton will be burled where she
was born. In Oxford Mass. Brief funeral
services will take place at the Glen Echo
home Sunday afternoon. Mrs. John A.
Ixigan will deliver a brief eulogy. The
funeral party will leave here Sunday even-
ing' and further services in Oxford will
be conducted Monday at noon.
Clara Barton might properly be called
the Florence Nightingale of America.
Like her British prototype her works
of mercy were not confined to her na-
tive land but were carried everf Into the
Eastern hemisphere. She will be writ-
ten down in history as the founder of
the Bed Cross in America hut her pow-
erful personality also made an Indelible

TEXANS ARE QUIET
CONCERNING CLARK
Willing to Admit That Speaker's
Campaign in Lone Star State Will
Benefit Him Little.
(Houston Post Staff Special.)
WASHINGTON April 12. Announce-
ment that Edward A. Glenn who man-
aged the Clark campaign In Missouri and
Illinois will take charge of the speaker's
affairs In Texas and open headquarters at
Fort Worth April 16 is received with
varying comment on the part of the Tex-
ans here in congress. None of them cares
to be quoted on the situation but all are
agreed that the entrance of Clark into
the Texas field would only serve to muddy
the waters without accomplishing much
In behalf of the Mlssourlan as It Is be-
lieved here that Clark's vote for the
875000.000 pension hill his suggestion that
Texas ought to be out up into five States
and some of his tariff declaration will
not tend to make him strong In the Lone
Star State.
There Is conflicting opinion as to whetb'
er Clark evould make greater inroads upon
the Wilson or the anti-Wilson strength
but the Wilson followers hero appear
greatly concerned. It is significant that
the progressives are the ones who are
talking bolt at this time. Bryan Mias de-
clared that he would not be bound by the
Nebraska primary if it should go for Har-
mon and now Manager McComb comes out
with the following statement relative to
Clark: I wouia wear my nanas 10 uie
bene in the republican uai
.rty ramer man
'wnrk tnr ChAmti Clark as democratic
candidate (or the presidency with the
nossibilitv of William Randolph Hearst
as secretary of state. I know a thousand
other good democrats that would do the
same.
. The Texas democrats here who are sin
cerely desirous ef seeing a democrat suc
ceed Taft are pointing to these utterances
mm httlntf enlflr&nt of the nosltlon which
inci
the Wilson- boomers are taking In their
rule or ruin attitude.
It may be worth while at this time to
point out that underwood is the fecond
choice of a Majority of the Texans in
Washington and a boom for him may fol-
Jow the entrance of Clark Into the cam-
paign to Texas.

that the bill aa now framed Is un1u.it to
the laborer In that It applies an exclusive
remedy and repeals the acta of IMS and
1910 and would result in placing such
litigation practically tn the Federal courts
exclusively thus doing away with State
legislation upon this very Important sub-
ject. He further sets torth "that the mail-
mum compensation for death or Injury
of an employe is less than would be se-
cured under suits in the State courts
and points out that there is a grave
question of the constitutionality of the
act since there Is an Infringement of the
