Woodrow Wilson, twenty-eighth president of the United States, died at his home in Washington, D. C... at 11:15 a. m. on Sunday, Feb. 3. 1924, in his sixty-eighth year. He had not been well since he suffered a partial stroke of paralysis while on his speaking tour in defense of the covenant of the league of nations, but he was able to finish his last term in the white house and to attend to correspondence and other minor affairs after he had retired to private life. His appearIances in public were few and not many visitors were received at his residence. On Jan. 28. 1924, he had an attack of indigestion which speedily developed into a serious illness and on Jan. 31 he was obliged to take to his bed. He was attended by his personal physician, Rear-Admiral Cary T. Grayson, assisted by Dr. Sterling Ruffin and Dr. H. A. On Feb. 1 it became Fowler, specialists. evident to the physicians that the end was near and on the following day he became unconscious. The last connected words spoken by the dying man were addressed to Dr. Gray Those at Mr. Wilson's bedside when he passed away were his wife, Mrs. Wilson, his daughter, Margaret Wilson, Rear-Admiral Grayson and Miss Ruth Powderly and Mrs. Hulett. navy nurses. TRIBUTE IN COOLIDGE PROCLAMATION. Immediately after the death of Woodrow Wilson President Coolidge issued the following proclamation: son. Copyright, Harris & Ewing. "You have done the best you could for me." he said, "but the machine is breaking down. I am ready to go." Shortly before he died he uttered the name of his wife, "Edith." Soon after the former president had breathed his last Dr. Grayson issued this written statement: "Mr. Wilson died at 11:15 o'clock this morning. His heart action became feebler and feebler and the heart muscles were so fatigued that they refused to act any longer. The end came peacefully. The remote causes of death lay in his ill health which began more than four years ago-namely, arterio-sclerosis and hemiplegia. The immediate cause of death was exhaustion following a digestive disturbance which began in the early part of last week but did not reach an acute stage until the early morning hours of Feb. 1." The death of Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States from March 4, 1913, to March 4, 1921, which occurred at 11:15 District of Columbia, deprives the country o'clock to-day at his home at Washington. an of a most distinguished citizen and is The duties of this high office he so conducted as to win the confidence of the people of the United States, who twice elected him to the chief magistracy of the republic. As president of the United States he was moved by an earnest desire to promote the best interests of the country as he conceived them. His acts were prompted by high motives and his sincerity of purpose cannot be questioned. He led the nation through the terrific struggle of the world war with a lofty idealism which never failed him. He gave utterance to the aspiration of humanity with an eloquence which held the attention of all the earth and made America a new and enlarged influence in the destiny of mankind. In testimony of the respect in which his memory is held by the government and the people of the United States, I do hereby direct that the flags of the white house and of the several departmental buildings be displayed at half-staff for a period of thirty days and that suitable military and naval honors under orders of the secretary of war and of the secretary of the navy may be rendered on the day of the funeral. Done at the city of Washington this third day of February, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four and of the independence of the United States of America the one hundred and forty-eighth By the president, CALVIN COOLIDGE. CHARLES EVANS HUGHES, Secretary of State. SIMPLE FUNERAL CEREMONIES. It was the wish of Mr. Wilson's widow and others of his family that the funeral services should be as simple as possible and hence the government's offer to honor the former president with a state funeral was declined. Two services were held: one was at Mr. Wilson's late residence on S street and was private, and the other was in Bethlehem chapel of the unfinished Protestant Episcopal cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul on the sum mit of Mount St. Alban on the western outskirts of Washington, The private ceremony, which consisted of prayers and scripture reading by the Rev Sylvester W.
