End Comes Unexpectedly for
Senator's Widow = First
Woman to Be Offered
United States SenatorShfp

THOMSON, Ca, May 15.-Mrs.
Thomas E. Watson, widow of the
United States senator from Geor-
gia, and the first American woman
to whom an appointment in the SEN
ate was ever offered, is dead, at her
home here today. Mrs. Watson died
last night at II o'clock from an at.
tack of acute diabetes.
Mrs. Watson's death came unex-
pectelly. Although she had been in
failing health for several months.
her condition was not thought TO be
serious enough to cause anxiety. A
sudden turn for the worse, however,
developed a short time before her
death.
The little city of Fhomson is in
deep mourning today, because Mrs.
Watson was ever a true friend of
every movement for the progress
and welfare of the community. I'll
health prevented her assuming an
active role in community affairs, but
her generous contributions and her
influence assured the success of
many civic enterprises. Those who
knew her intimately counted her as
a rare friend, and the hospitality of
her home and her friendly charm of
manner were known far and wide
Hen late husband had in her a com.
panion and confidant who stood
bravely by his side throughout the
vicissitudes of his career, one who
cheered him in success and com.
forted him in adversely.
Mrs. Watson was born in Column
bia county 62 years ago. She was
married to Thomas E. Watson in
1873, and practically all her life
since then had been spent here.
The marriage of Miss Georgia
Durham, daughter Of Dr.. George
Durham, a prominent physician of
Thomson, to Thomas E. Watson, was
the elimination of a beautiful ro.
nance to which Mr.. Watson very
often referred. His tributes to his
wife in the nearly half century of
their married life, will go down in
literature as among the most ex-
quisite tributes ever paid a woman.
Three children were born to them,
and Mrs Watson followed each to
the grave. The youngest, d daugh.
ter, Louise. died in her infancy. Mr..
]. Durham Watson, the only son,
and Miss Agnes Watson, Mrs. o. s.
Lee, died within eight months Of
each other, leaving each a daugh.
ter.
Senator WatsOn's Tribute
No finer tribute could be paid
Mrs. Watson than to give here one
Of the dedications in one of his
works. and every word he wrote was
dedicated % his wife.
The one here produced was from
the first edition of his Prose Mis-
cellanies,' published in 1872:
'In whose pure affection and
loyal soul a briefless young lawyer
found favor in the good year 1877,
and who not so very long afterward,
for the course of true love, as from
time immemorial, did not run
smooth, became Mrs. Thomas E.
Watson. and who has, ever since,
walked the long path by his side,
through health and through sick
ness, through Joy and through sor-
row, through the sunlight and
through the tempest, with the unfal-
tering devotion Of the typical wife,
and who now turns with him to
face the afternoon of life, without
any sort of fear, and with the peace
Of soul that passes understanding.

TROOPS OF FRANCE
PENETRATE DEEPER
INTO RJHR VALLEY

BERLIN, May 15.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-The French have
occupied the Baden aniline and
soda works at Ludwigshafen, &C.
cording to a message received here
today. The employees have not ia.
tempted to enter the works, which
are shut down, with an entire
French regiment quartered there.
The street railways at Ludwig.
shafen have ceased operation as the
result of French occupation of the
depot.
The Hoechst dye works, at Lud.
wickshafen, and the town of Linn
burg, Westphalia, also have been
occupied by the French.
The Limburg railway station, post
office and other public buildings were
taken possession of by the French
troops, Frankfort advices state, and
the city was completely cut off from
unoccupied Germany.
In Ludwigshafen the laborers on
duty at both the plants seized were
permitted to leave but no one was
allowed to enter the works. The
Hoeschst works were surrounded by
a strong military Gordon.
According to German advices from
LudWigShafen, the French announced
that the aniline and soda works were
occupied merely for the purpose of
selling and removing such 1quanti-
ties of dyestuffs as were due France
and Belgium under the peace treaty,
1t was not expected, it was said.
that it would be necessary to occupy
the plant more than a week.
The Baden aniline and soda works
were one of the principal sources
of Germany's chemical supplies for
munitions during the war and at
tempts frequently were made by he
allies to bomb it.
Such a solution Of the diplomatic
deadlock, it is argued, would afford
the entente statesmen an opportu
nifty to indicate their approval Of or
opposition to plan aiming at an
ultimate settlement Of the repara'
tons question based on economic
principles and on Germany's capac'
ity to pay. Germany, as we'll as
the entente, should be represented
on such a commission.
