Washington, March 8—04*)—A qu#t little man with gray beard and a slouch hat flattened no as to fit into a pocket, got, out of an automobile at tho Union station today, walked slowly through the crowded waiting room and boarded a train for Dar.-i ville, 111. One or two remarked "there goes 'Uncle ‘Joe;’ ” the train drew out and with'scarcely a ripple; the bustle of the railway terminal went along as usual. The incident marked the final pass ing from officiaf life of Joseph Gurney Cannon, who came to Washington 50 years ago to begin his legislative career.

On the last night of the congress he got permission to insert in the Congressional Records "What I do not know about the! farm credits bill.” But the speech never appeared and j those who looked for it finally be came convhiced that it was a fare well joke. One of the last acts of Uncle Joe j was to stroll for perhaps the last | time about the corridors of the Capi tol. He apparently was In buoyant | spirits and to put aside all doubt as j to whether he was happy at leaving. I he chanted a couple of verses of an old ditty to a policeman who had ex- I pressed regret at his departure.
