6 MRS. WILSON'S DEATH CAUSE OF MOURNING [Continued From First PURB] servants, all of whom Mrs.| Wilson knew personally, showed their deep grief. A procession of carriages bringing cards and callers of the diplomatic circles, circled around the White House offices. On every hand through out the Capital expressions of tender est sympathy for the President were heard. Under the heavy strain of do mestic legislation, the situation at home resulting from the European crisis, the long hard vigil through the Mexican crisis, he worked unceasingly. His knowledge for the last three weeks that his wife was ill to death has added immeasurably to his appear ance and yesterday at 5 o'clock when the last faint flicker of life was ex tinguished, those who knelt at the Ivdside saw him give wav to his grief, probably for the lirst time. Meetings Cancelled The cabinet meeting was cancelled and all regular engagements for the next few days will be put off, the President seeing only officials with important business. Definite arrangements for the fu neral will not be made until after the arrival of Prof. Stockton Axson, Mrs. Wilson's brother, now on his way to Washington from Oregon. It was thought probable at the White House that the funeral will be Monday at Rome where Mrs. Wilson's mother and father are buried. The services in Washington whiel they will be sim ple will be attended by committees from the Senate and House, members of the Cabinet, the Supreme Court and other officials. The President spent a comparative ly quiet night but according to those •who saw him to-day was feeling a re action and a full realization of his loss. Special telegraph operators were brought to the White House to re ceive the flood of messages which came from persons in every walk of life in every State. Most of them con tained a reference to Mrs. Wilson's regard for the unfortunate. Many praised the President for his great bravery. Senate Resumes Session According to present arrangements .the regular business of the govern ment departments will not be inter rupted except at the time of the fu neral. Because of the President's de sire that the pending trust legislation be hurried through Congress, the Senate resumed its regular session. George Howe, of North Carolina, a nephew of the President, and Edward T. Brown, of Atlanta, Qa., and other relatives arrived at the White House to-day. Joseph It. Wilson, a brother of the President, came over from Balti more last night. Mrs. Edward El liott, Mrs. Wilson's only sister, can not come to Washington at present because of illness. She is in Cali fornia. The President sent word to the lead ers of the Senate and House and the heads of the government departments that it was his wish that the regular business continue and that the lower ing of the flags to half mast be the only public recognition of Mrs. Wil son's death. _ He was desirous that Cdngress continue in session without interruption. The President has also expressed the desire that the funeral services be as simple as possible. Formal announcement was made at the. White House to-day that the fu neral services in the White House will be strictly private. It was also announced that the time and place of the burial had not been decided. The President was completely un nerved by the shock and his grief was hefTHrending. He bore up well under the strain, however, and devoted him self to his daughters. The end came while Mrs. Wilson was unconscious. Her illness took a turn for the worse shortly before 1 o'clock in the afternoon and from then on she grew gradually weaker. ' During the day Mrs. Wilson spoke to Dr. Grayson about the President, whose health she thought more about than she did of her own. "Promise me," she whispered faint ly, "that if I go you will take care of my husband"- It was the same touch of devotion which she had so many times repeated —her constant anxiety having been that the President might not worry about her or be disturbed in his offi cial tasks. Kneeling at the bedside at the end were the President and their three daughters. Dr. Cory T. Grayson, United States Navy, and a nurse were in the room, and just outside a door were Secretary MeAdoo and Francis B. Sayre, Mr. Wilson's sons-in-law, ■and Mr. Tumulty, his secretary.

The beginning of the end came at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, when Dr. K. I'. Davis, of Philadelphia, who had been called in for consultation, realised that the tme for hope had passed, lie took the President into the red ro.om of the White House and there -in a broken voice fold him the truth. Mr.. Wilson's face blanched, but he bore the shock well, lie was informed that the end was only a question of hours. Mr. Wilson then took his daughters, Mrs. W. G. McAdoo, Mrs. Sayre and Miss Margaret Wilson, aside and told them of their mother's condition. Until then they had thought there was a chance for her recovery. From that time on the President and his daughters remained constantly at Mrs. Wilson's bedside. The Presi dent held his wife's hand and the three daughters were grouped near by. Until she became unconscious Mrs. Wilson frequently nodded to one or the other and smiled cheerfully. The President returned to the sick room from the last conference with the doctor, his three daughters lean ihg on his arm. Francis Bowes Sayre and Secretary McAdoo and Secretary Tumulty stayed outside the door. Mrs. Wilson lapsed from consciousness into unconsciousness, but rallied. By 1 O'clock she began to sink rapidly. She could still recognize those about her. however, and looked cheerfully toward them with the same sweet smile that will linger long in the memory of the many who knew her. It was characteristic expression ot sweetness, which officials and their families as well as people in the slums whom she had befriended had learned to love. Sinks Into Final Sleep At 2 o'clock Mrs. Wilson was still conscious, but her strength had almost departed, and a few minutes later she sank into the sleep of unconsciousness from which she never awoke. For three hours the President and his three daughters gazed longingly into her eyes in the hope that she might speak: to them again, but she could not. The sun was casting its long shadows from the Potomac to the south grounds, coloring the fountains, gardens and elms. There was a hushed stillness in the upper apart ments. All eyes were turned toward the ■puthwest corner of the house. •iTOt at the hour of 5 death came. The President and his daughters were In tears. Secretary Tumulty walked slowly to the executive offices, his head bowed. Quietly he announced to the' correspondents that the end had come. A pall of gloom settled over the Presently Dr. Grayson, his face hag gard and worn from day and night vigil, came to tho offices. There was an impressive silence everywhere. Sec retaries, attaches, clerks and domes tics seemed overcome. Vice-President Marshall and mem bers of the Cabinet and the leaders in Congress were notified. The flag on the White House was dropped, gates were closed and the silence of death spread over the White House for the first time since 1892, when Mrs. Ben jamin Harrison passed away. Condolences Pour In Members of the Cabinet, justices of i the Supreme Court, members of the ' diplomatic corps, telephoned their CASTORIA For Infants and Children, Bears tne —- The Kind You Hhve Always Bought Slgn o a f turo condolences and sent cards. From many humble homes came flowers, as Mrs. Wilson had made many friends in the slums and city generally in her endeavors to help the friendless and poverty-stricken. Mrs. Wilson took an active interest in the career of her husband, in his contests with Congress over legislation and the numerous official duties with which he was burdened. Throughout life she had been his constant help mate and adviser. 1 r clear judgment on political affairs and broad views of educational questions had been a source of gratification to him for years. With her help he wrote his books and on her judgment he relied. Her devotion to him, according to those who have known the family In timately, was of remarkable depth. Her one thought was of him. Every morning and evening during her ill ness she cautioned Or. Grayson not to tell the President if she had spent an uncomfortable hour. Thought of President Always Her anxiety was that he should not be worried or disturbed. However painful was her suffering, it was her one aim to keep the President fron being affected by her condition. But the President watched her sorrowfully for weeks and realized that she was slowly growing worse. He spent every moment he could by her side, and when he was not there she was con stantly calling or speaking of him. Mrs, Wilson was a woman of simple ways, possessed of a naive, magnetic manner. She had a faculty of putting her guests promptly at ease and was a charming hostess. She was ever demo cratic, and modest in her tastes. When the news of Mrs. Wilson's death reached the Senate discussion of pending business was immediately ended by Senator Kern, the majority leader. Interrupting the debate on the shipping: bill, he said: "Mr. President, it becomes my duty to convey to the Senate the melan choly Intelligence of the death of Mrs. Wilson, the wife of the President of the United States. Of course, the President at this hour has the earnest sympathy of all the people of the na tion and as a mark of the sympathy entertained here and all through the republic I move that the Senate do now adjourn." The motion was silently agreed to and the senators quietly withdrew from the chamber. Underwood Informs House Majority Leader Underwood, of the House, hurried to the floor as soon as he received word from the White House. He stopped the discussion of the Moon railway mall pay bill. "It is my sad duty," he said, "to announce to the House the death of Mrs. Wilson, the wife of the President of the United States. 1 think the House should show the proper respect at this time, and I. therefore, move the adoption of the following reso lution: "Resolved. That the House has heard with profound sorrow of the death of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the President of the United States: "Resolved further, That a commit tee. composed of the Sneaker and one additional member from each state in the Union, be appointed to attend the funeral: "Itesolved further. That as a mark of respect the House do now adjourn." The resolution was adopted in silence. Mrs. Wilson had been unwell since l-'st February, when she fell In the White House and strained her spine. * he later practically recovered from that injury, hut in the meantime kid ney trouble set in, and gradually sht grew weaker and weaker. About two months ago her condition began to grow serious and two weeks ago Dr. Grayson became alarmed. Noted specialists were called in and trained nurses were kept in constant attendance. She continued to grow worse, however, until serious sinking spells came on Monday and Tuesday. Mrs. Wilson was 50 years old arid when she came to the White House was in robust health. Clergyman's Daughter Before her marriage in 1885 Mrs. Woodrow Wilson was Miss Ellen Louise Axson, daughter of a Presby terian clergyman at Savannah, Ga. Her family is said to be the only one of the name in America, and, like the President, she had one brother and one sister. Professor Stockton Axson. voted the most popular member of the Princeton faculty, and Mrs. Ed ward Elliott, wife of a Princeton pro fessor of international law. RUSIfIION SUSQUEHANNA'S DAM [Continued From First Page] be placed, only to a point within a few inches of the water's surface. Thus, when the contractors are ready to finish the job the placing of the final slabs should require a compara tively short time. Building Big Cofferdams Work is now being pushed on the construction of the big cofferdams that will be necessary in closing the gap on the eastern side. By to-night the distance will have been reduced to approximately eighty feet. While the Frank N. Skene Contract ing Company is making remarkable headway on the dam the river bottom on the eastern side is offering any thing but pleasant progress. The specifications require that concrete bases shall be established, but there are places where huge rocks and cob blestones offer so many crevices and holes that it is a giant's job to place sufficient concrete on the river bottom. Hence the construction of the great cofferdam, to hurry the construction of which men worked shoulder deep in the water yesterday.' The slabs will not be placed until after the construction of the footwall to a point well beyond the line that should be affected hy the backwater. Granolithic Walk Down Granolithic sidewalk has been laid along the wall from Iron alley to Mar ket street and In fact the entire river wall Job is practically complete south of that point. Some idea of the splendid water front of the future can easily be grasped nowadays by looking down the shores from the Market street bridge approach. The' broad, sweep ing curve of river is set off wonder fully by the completed -steps and walk. When the strings of electric light standards are placed and lighted every 100 feet the effect can readily be Imagined. The construction of the wall and steps below Market street emphasizes the Importance, however, of some con centrated and definite effort to clear from the river bottom Just outside the steps the rocks and so on not pro vided for by the specifications. Other wise these will interfere materially with the passing and landing of water craft. It is especially important thav this work be looked after now while the water is low. To this end the widespread and general organization of canoeists, boatmen, swimmers, etc., into a big river front improvement association is being urged. Work is being pushed with excel lent results all along the Fiver Front by the Stucker Brothers Construction Company, the contractors. Between Walnut and Market streets the earth in the flat lowlands beyond the line of wall has been leveled and scooped out to serve as back "fill" behind the step forms: under the direction of "Record-Breaker" Foreman Wil liams speedy progress is being made on the construction of the pier forms at. the pumping station. Just above that point the longest stretch of cof ferdam has been constructed—a stretch of several blocks. One of the imperative needs for a general clean up of debris for the benefit of boat men is apparent Just there—a giant tree trunk, which had come down in a freshet of nearly a year ago. Above Hardscrabble the work is progressing with equal celerity. Pier 1 forms have been completed to Maela.v 1 street, the steps to a point several blocks above Hardscrabble. and other gangs of men are excavating "filling" and otherwise preparing to put on th« finishing touches at least as far as Maclay street this year.
