the Western Pacific.

New York, August 6.-Directors OF
the Denver aad Rio Grande Railroad
company today ordered payment OF
semi-annual interest of . II per cent
on the first mortgage bonds Of the
Western Pacific Railway company
which it oontros. Earnings of West
ern Pacific were not sufficient ia
meet the amount required but the
Denver and Rio Gralde directors
voted to make up the deficit.
In statement explaining their &C.
ton the directors said that if Denver
and Rio Grande is to continue its
support of Western Pacific some plan
of readjusting the latter's finances
and general relations with the con.
trolling road must be devised.
"A committee of bankers will be
formed to consider plans to tighten
Denver and Rio Grande's burden and
provide for the development of West
ern Pacific

DECIDE LATER ON
TRACK REMOVAL
WHOLE OF THE CONTENTION
LAID BEFORE THE ARKANSAS
RAILROAD COMMIs SloN.
Commission Takes the Matter Under
Their Ruling Within a Few Days.

Witnesses before the session of the
Arkansas Railroad Commission when
the question of the removal of the
spur tack on Valley street was up for
hearing returned from Little Rock
yesterday without any intimatiol OF
what the decision of the commission
would be in the matter.
There were many witnesses before
the commission who stated positive
~ that the spur track for handling
freight was a detriment to Valley
street at a point where the city was
street an acceptable one for boule-
ward Purposes. 1t was shown that
the iron Mountain passenger station,
if the spur track remained, would
practically open over tracks where
freight would be handled, ald some
believed that there would be an ele,
ment of danger in leaving the spur
In the street.
FOR the other side there were
those who did not believe the track
int fered with anything and that it
materially aided bushes houses in
the handling of the freight, which it
was assumed would be of more i'm
PCrtance commercially to the city
than to order the removal Of the
t~dCks. Wilmington Stearas showed
that they had built their present
building at the site now occupied be
cause they anticipated they would
have the use Of this spur track in
definitely, and that had it been known
they would lose the track at any
time. their warehouse at least would,
have been built in some other local
ity.

Would Save Husband Worry.

Every morning and every evening
during her illness she cautioned DR..
Grayson not to tel the president If
she had spent an uncomfortable hour.
Her anxiety was that he should not
be worried. But the president watch
ed her sorrowfully for weeks and real
lied she was growing worse. He spent
every moment he could by her side.
Mrs Wilson was a woman of sim
pie ways, possessed of a naive mag

ure would be a law in another day or
50 ana expressed her satisfaction. She
had become deeply interested in the
social welfare of the community a/V
had worked always without seeking
aid OF the president. 1t was the
strain of this, the duties of entertain
ment, and kidney trouble which be
came chronic last Autumn that sappod
her life
Mrs. Wilson took an active inter
est in the career of her husband. She
has been his constant helpmate and
adviser. Her ciear judgment on polit-
zeal affairs and broad views of edu-
cational questions has been a source
OF qualification to him for years. With
her help he wrote dis books and he
relied on her judgment. Her devotion
to him, according to those who have
known the family intimately, was oil
remarkable depth. Her one thought
was of him

Congress Takes Adjournment.
When news OF Mrs. Wilson death
reached the senate discussion of pend
ing business was ended Immediately
by Senator Kern, majority leader. In
terrupting the debate on the shipping
BILL he said.
Mr.. President, it becomes my duty
to convey to the senate the MEAN
choly intelligence of the death of Mrs.
Wilson, wife of the president of the
United States OF course the presi-
dent at this hour has the earnest
sympathy of all the people Of the ma
ton, aud as a mark of sympathy en-
tertained here and all through the re.
public, / move that the senate do now
adjourn"
The motion was silently agreed to
and the senator's quietly withdrew
from the chamber
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 mail pay bill.
at is my duty he said, ito au-
nounce to the house the death OF Mrs
Wilson, wife of the president of the
United States. | think the house
should show the proper respect at
this time, and ] therefore move tho

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 committee
composed OF the speaker and one adj

The resolution was adopted in ST.

Mrs. Wi son had been unwell since
last February, when she fell and
strained her spine. She later recoy-
cred from that injury, but in the
meantime kidney trouble set in and
gradually she grew weaker and
weaker
About two months ago her condi-
ton began to grow serious and two
weeks ago Or. Grayson became
alarmed Noted specialists were call
! ed IN and trained nurses were kept in
constant attendance. She continued
to grow worse, however, until serious
sinking spells came Monday and
