CONDENSED NEWS ITEMS

The Newlands bill to create a fed.
eFal trade commission, first of the
three administration antitrust meas
ures. has passed the senate by vote
of 53 to 16. The bill differs radically
from the measure as it passed the
house, which probably wiz ask for a
conference.
Administration leaders in congress
have ceased to think about adjourn
ment. Although some Of them believe
the regular business Of the session can
be completed soon after September 1,
they fear possible emergencies through
the war in Europe win make II i'm
perative that congress remain in
Washington.
The President sent direct word to
the leaders Of the senate and house
and the heads Of the government de-
partments that It was his wish that
the regular business continue and
that the lowering OF the flags 10 half
mast be the only public recognition,
Of Mrs. Wilson's death. He was de-
sirous that congress continue O. ses-
sion without interruption.

MRS. WILSON DIES
President and Daughters KneeI
About Bedside as End
Approaches.
HAD BEEN Ill FOR MONTHS
Congress AdIourns Upon Announce
ment Of Death-Her Last Thoughts
Were For Her Husband.

Washington, %. C.-Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson, wife of the President of the
United States, died at the White
House at o'clock in the afternoon.
Death came after a struggle of
months against Bright's disease, with
complications.
The President was unnerved by the
shock, but bore up well under the
strain, and devoted himself to his
daughters
The end came while Mrs. Wilson
was unconscious. Her illness took
turn for the worse shortly before /
o'clock In the afternoon, and from
then on she grew gradually weaker.
Kneeling at the bedside at the end
were the President and their three
daughters Dr. Cary T. Grayson, U.
s. ~, and a nurse were in the room,
and just outside door we're Secre-
tary McAdoo and Francis B. Sayre,
Mr.. Wilson's sons-in-law, and Mr.. Tu-
m1lty, his secretary.
Both houses of congress adjourned
when Mrs. Wilson's death was an
nounced, and for brief time the
wheels of the government practically
stopped.
The beginning of the end came at
10 o'clock in the morning, when DR.. e.
p Davis of Philadelphia, who had been
called in consultation, realized that
the time for hope had passed He
took the President into the Red Room
of the White House and there told
him the truth.
Sorrow Envelopes White House.
Just at the hour of five 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.
Al pail Of gloom settled over the
executive mansion and the offices.
Presently Doctor Grayson, worn from
day and night vigil, went to the Of
fees. There was an impressive 81
lence everywhere.
FLAG Is Placed at Half Mast.
Vice-President Marshall and mem
hers Of the cabinet and the leaders
in congress were notified. Both
houses promptly adjourned 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. benjamin Harrison died.
Asked About Alleys BiIl.
She had told the President in the
morning she would more eheerfulIy |
go away. if the bill for the improve |
ment Of alleys was passed by con-
gress. A word to leaders from Sec
retary Tumulty and the measure was
adopted in silence by the senate and
soon reported in the house where It /
VIII be passed at once. She learned
that the measure would be a law IN
another day or so and expressed her
satisfaction
She had become deeply interested
h the social welfare Of the eommun-
ity and had worked in ways without
seeking the aid OF the President It
was the strain OF this, the duties Of
and the kidney trouble
which became chronic last autumn
hat sapped her life.

American Tourists in London
Aided by Citizens Relief
Committee.
BRYAN KEEPING IN TOUCH
State Department Now in communica'
tion With Every Embassy in
Europe, Says Secretary.

London.-Many Americans who ar
rived in England on the White Star
line steamer Oceanic already are ap-
plying to the American relief COM
mittees for cash and a return passage
to the United States. The passengers
who were released from the Hamburg
American line steamers KronprinZes-
sin Cecilie and Prinz Adalbert int6rned
at Falmouth also are applying for aid.
The German steamship lines refuse
to grant refunds on ticket deposits,
travellers being given only now trans
ferable orders on the New York offices
of the companies.
Theodore Hetzler of New York, head
of the Citizens committee, said that
his committee was working in com.
plete harmony with the London citi-
zens' committee.
Police Protect Americans.
Because of white slave agents rep
resenting themselves as committee
agents, the committees appointed
three agents, two of them women, to
meet all incoming trains. Three Amer
lean girls who were approached in
railroad station by false agents said
their suspicious were aroused by the
kind of lodgings to which they were
recommended. whereupon they es-
capped. The police have now assigned
detectives to arrest suspicious char
acters.
Berlin.-A letter from Bad Nauheim
says the Americans in that watering
place are all well. They have all en-
countered certain monetary difficulties
but the hotels are giving credit. At
Munich there are 5000 Americans who
are receiving every courtesy but are
having trouble, owing to the fact that
checks are not accepted.
In Touch With All Embassies.
Washington, D. C.-Secretary Bryan
that the American govern
ment was in communication with all
European embassies and legations and
that every effort was being made to
care for Americans in all parts of the
continent.
For many days the state department
had been unable to communicate with
Gerard at Berlin, but
has now been estab-
lished through Copenhagen.
Official dispatches have revealed
that many Americans had been ar
rested or temporarily detained in Ger
many merely on suspicion, and that
1t the first outbreak of hostilities and
Turing the mobilization period, per
sons who spoke English were under
espionage.
Assurances that Americans would
Joon be able to leave Germany were
given several days ago and the open
ng of communication with Ambassa-
lor Gerard was expected to clear up
II doubts on the subject within the
lext tWentyfour hours.
Ambassador Gerard said he under. |
TODD the English channel had been
mined, but did not say by whom.
jounBelOr Barclay, charge d'ahaires
4 the British embassy, who was at |
he state department, suggested that
Germany probably mined the channel.
mt that he lad received no advieeg
0 warn American ships to that effect.
The state department announced |
hat an additional $4,000 had been
abled 70 Minister StoYalI IN SEitzer-
md and that the number of Ameri-
ans in that country vas estimated
{ 5000.
