Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 13. — United States Senator Alexander Steph ens Clay, of Georgia, died at the Robertson Sanitarium here this afternoon at 3 o’clock, after an extended illness.

During the morning and after noon the senator appeared in better spirits than usual, the at tending physicians stating that he was apparently recovering from the slight relapse of Satur day. Mrs. Clay came to Atlanta from their home at Marietta in the morning, but when she found the senator so much improved, re turned to Marietta about noon. The only member of the family present at the death bed was the senator’s son, Herbert, who is mayor of Marietta. According to the physicians, Senator Clay’s death resulted from dilation of the heart, super induced by arterial sclerosis. The senator has been ill for nearly a year and came to the sanitarium here on November 1 to take a rest cute.
