New York, July 2y.--The Paris Olympics marked the end of competi- tive careers of a number of American athletes, notably:
 Charley Paddock,
 Jackson Scholz,
 Clarence DeMar,
 Alfred LeConey,
 Joie Ray,
 Ralph Spearow.
 Paddock, once famed as the fast est human," may grace an oScasional exhibition in the future but everyone is certain the colorful Californian has taken his last gay fling at big time competition. This has not been what you might exactly call a glori- ous season for the coast crack. Pad dock is a golfer and plans to go after tournament honors on & serious scale.
 Scholz, veteran of 10 years run ming, came out of retirement last winter with one thought in mind, making the Olympic team. It was probably good thing for your Uncle Sam that the Missourian had this thought. Otherwise the showing of the Star-Spangled entry in the fiat races abroad would have been drab, not to say unprofitablc.
 Scholz Will Retire.
 Scholz realized his main ambition at Paris. and now he is ready to return to the sidelincs as an ob- server, carrying with him delightful memories of his two record breaking days at the Cambridge stadium and his subsequent triumph in the 200 meters in France. Scholz may com pete in the A. A. U. races later in the summer. If he does it will be his swan song.
 You can never tell what Jqie Ray uill do. The Chicago miller is through and perhaps will retire i'm mediately, content to rest on his many laurels. Then again he may come back bristling with fight, de- termined to prove that his miserable showing in the Olympics was all a clammy mistake. Ray ran eighteenth in a field of 19 in the 5000 meters, supposedly his favorite dish.
 Ray an Olympic Flop.
 Ray is unquestionably the greatest miller ever developed in this coun- try. Yet he has always been an un- kempt flop in the international games. Four years ago he finished eighth in the 1900 meters after leading the field three-fourths of the way. A sore muscle may have had something to do with his defeat. He ran with his left leg firmly bandaged.
 Q sailed that his would be his last marathon. The Boston sprinter, 3S years of age. finished third, leading all the Americans. The race went te Albin Stenroos of Finland. De Mar thought he wss veteran. Sten- roos, it developed. is 70 years old. This may persuade DeMar to race two more years
 Spcnrow a Disappointment.
 Ralph Spearow, Oregon sky pilot, is expected to renounce his pole vaulting ambitions for all time. Much was looked for from Spearow in the Oiympics. His unofficial rec crd of 13 feet inches excited the experts. A new record was predicted. But spearow showed little form, fall- in far below the averagel

WILSON'S HOPES FOR WORLD
EXPRESSED FIVE YEARS AGO

Just five years ago, Woodrow VIII
son, at the pinnacle of his power,
spoke in the French Chamber of Dep
uties at Paris, the hopes and convic-
tions he held for the world but did
not live to see fulfilled Here is what
he said at that time:
SO as we sit from day to day at
the Quai d'Orsay, think to myself we
might If we could gain an audience of
the free peoples of the world, adopt
the language of General Pershing, and
say:
Friends, men, humble women, lit
tie children, we are here We are
here as your friends, as your cham
pions, az your representatives.
we have come to work out for you
world which is fit to live in, and in
which all countries can enjoy the
heritage of liberty for which France
and America and England and italy
have paid so dear"

ngton.-Woodrow Wilson took
modest fortune with him from the
White House and, although he never
earned any money during his retire
ment, he was able to live comfortably
en- his capital. When he came here
from the goyernorship Of New Jersey
he brought with him a few thousand

His salary as an educator never was
large nor was his pay as governor He
had been raising a family, and al
though he had written many books his
royalties were desultory. When he

the largest he ever had received
years of thrift asserted themselves

his writings jumped suddenly and
tremendously because his books came
into great demand. Social activities
at the White House were discontinued
because of the war, and he saved a
great part of his salary.

Hardening Arteries Caused
Wilson's Death, Last
Bulletin Said.

The last bulletin issued by DR..
Cary T. Grayson, former President
Wilson's friend and personal
physician, read as follows:
"Mr. Wilson died at 11:15 this
morning. His heart muscle was
SO fatigued that it refused to act
any longer. The end came peace
fully. The remote causes of death
lie in his i'll health, which began
more than four years ago, namely,
arterio-sclerosis. The immediate
cause of death was exhaustion, fol-
lowing 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.

A Proclamation
By the President of the United
States of America.

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE
UNITED STATES:
The death of Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States
from March 4, 1913 to March 4,
1921, which occurred at lilo
O'Clock today at his home at
Washington, d. c., depriyes the
country of a most distinguished
citizen and Is an event which
causes universal and genuine
sorrow. To many of us 1t brings
the sense of a profound personal
bereavement.
His early profession as a
lawyer was abandoned to enter
academic life. In this chosen
field he attained the highest rank
as an educator, and has left MS
impress upon the intellectual
thought of the country.
From the Presidency of Prince
ton University he was called by
his fellow citizens to be the
Chief Executive of the State OF
New Jersey. 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 Ma
- o.11h1in
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 can
not be questioned. He led the
Nation through the terrific strug-
gle of the World War with a
lofty idealism which never failed
him. He gave utterance to the
aspirations of humanity with an
eloquenee which held the atten-
ton of all the earth and made
America a new and enlarged in
fluence in the destiny of man
kind.
In testimony of the respect In
which his memory is held by the
Government and people of the
United States, l 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 Washing
ton this third day of February,
in the year of Our Lord One
Thousand One Hundred and
Twenty-four, and of the Inde-
pendence of the United States of
America One Hundred and Forty

At night the flood of messages was
too great to cope with at the house
and they were being collected to be

Widow Courageous
Mrs. Wilson, DR.. Grayson said,
though brokenhearted at her loss,
stood the last test with characteristic
courage.
She who had borne her husband up
through four sad years Of illness and
defeat never wavered in her cheerful
attitude while he was still conscious.
Until the eyes with which he spoke
to her long after he had ceased to
move his lips closed in the last coma
of approaching death, the wife smiled
brayely on her departing husband.
When Inconsistencies came to
cloud his vision and his mind, she
stayed beside his bed in the room
where he lay, on the third floor rear
of the S street house, whose window
overlooks a tiny garden and gives
broad vista of the Capitol where he
had spoken to Congress, and the
White House, where he had addressed
the world.
Here while he was still well
enough, Woodrow Wilson read, die
tated and played his favorite game,
solitaire
Here Mrs. Wilson spent the lonely
vigil of his last hours, with his daugh-
ter Margaret.
And here went forth the last spark
of the great spirit which had seen the.
world riyen by war and had tried, in
his own way and with all the strength
he knew, to unite it again.
Scarcely was he dead but the first
flower of tribute came, single
American Beauty rose, brought to the
door by a five-year-old boy, Sammy
White, son of an attendant at Walter
Reed Hospital whose inmates cherish
tender recollections of the visits of
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson
DR.. Sterling Ruffin, who, with DR..
Grayson, was in the house when
death arrived, told reporters that dur
ing the closing hours of Mr., Wilson's
life it was impossible to do anything
for him in a medical way
So clearly was this recognized by
physicians that DR.. H. A. Fowler, who
has also been in constant consulta-
tion, did not return to the house after
the patient became unconscious last
night. Dr. Rufin was almost as much
affected as DR.. Grayson at the end.

WILSON BURIED
SIMPLE CEREMONY
Usual Funeral Service at Home
and Church
CONGRESS- H0NORS DEAD
Former President Laid To Rest AS
Private Citizen, Without Pompr
Military Display Or Final
Salute.

Washington. - Woodrow VIII
son was buried without pomp or
circumstance. Simple rites, COM
parable to those accorded the
men who under his command died
for their country in the World
War, marked the funeral services.
Services at the S street house began
at o'clock. Only the members of the
family and a few personal friends at
tended. The body was then removed
to the heights of Mount st. Adams.
The Rt. Rev. James E. Freeman,
bishop of Washington, assisted by the
Rev DR.. Sylvester ". Beach, pastor
of Mr. Wilson's church at Princeton,
and the Rev James II. Taylor, pastor
of the Central Presbyterian Church,
of Washington, recited the last rites.
The services in the Cathedral
chapel were as simple and brief as
those at the home, only prayers and
hymns, but no sermon. Then the
great slab in the center aisle covering
the crypt was removed, The casket
was lowered into the crypt and placed
beside the churchmen whose bodies
occupy the vault. The Rt. Rev.
Thomas John Clagett, first Bishop OF
Maryland, lies there. His diocese for
merly included Maryland, The bodies
of Henry V. Satterlee, first Bishop of
Washington, and of Alfred Harding,
second Bishop of Washington, also lie
there, as does that of Henry Vaughan,
architect of the cathedral.
When the Cathedral is completed 1t
will be one of the most splendid edi-
fees on this continent. When that
time comes the body of the former
President will be removed to per-
manent niche in the main body of the
great church. And there is hope on
the part of the men who are devoting
themselves to the construction of this
monumental place of worship that it
may some day become the West
minister Abbey of America.
For years Woodrow Wilson had
been deeply interested in the Cathe-
dral He has watched the erection of

bassador to the United States. AL
though a Presbyterian, he was the
warm friend of Bishop Freeman and
of the late Bishop Harding. Mrs. Will
son is a member of ST. Johns Epis-
copal Church.
Many friends Of the family, includ-
ing a number of Senators, urged Mrs.
Wilson to permit state funeral for
the former President. So sure were
officials of the Capitol that the body
would lie in state on the spot where
the Unknown Soldier lay and the body
of President Harding that work on
the catafalque was begun. Later this
work was abandoned.
The President and Mrs Coolidge at
tended both services. The President
was accompanied by members of his
Cabinet. This was the only direct
representation of the Government at
the funeral, this and the enlisted men
provided the only touch suggestive of
Mr.. Wilson's services to the nation.

son had suffered an alarming attack,
a death watch, as 1t is known, has
been kept over the house by a corps
Of newspapermen
Though DR.. Grayson's first bulletin
was Of a reassuring character on
Thursday, to the effect that, while Mr..
Wilson had indigestion, his condition
was not grave the feeling would not
down that the ex-President was about
tc die.
Friday 1t became certain that he
was very III and by Friday night the
bulletin confessed as much.
Then on Saturday il was known that
he was in dying condition, his
weakened body unable to respond to
medical treatment or to fight off the
inevitable end
Throughout Saturday rumors were
rife that Mr.. Wilson had died, but
they gained no credence, for it was
known that DR.. Grayson would
probably make public the news. when
it was true
Saturday night at 10;30 the bulletin
issued by DR. Grayson told of the lapse
of Mr.. Wilson into unconsciousness
To his friends DR.. Grayson confded
that it was merely a matter of hours
possibly of minutes.
He had already let it be known that
Mr.. Wilson had been warned of the
approach of death and had accepted
the news with equanimity. merely
murmuring that he was ready.
1t is but six short months since
President Coolidge and ex-President
Wilson met at the bier of Warren G.
Harding, the dead President. It was
remarked then, August 8, as Mr.. Will
son rode in the long cortege to the
Capitol that he looked remarkably
well. considering his long siege and
seclusion.

The Pleasantville press., 1924-02-13

The death of the ex-President came
on memorable day. Just seven
years ago, on Feb. 8, 1917, President
Wilson broke off relations with the
German Government by sending to
Count Won Bernstorff. Ambassador to
the United States from Berlin, his
exequator, or walking papers.
From that moment the nation be-
gan to prepare itself for entry into
the World War, and two months later
was at war.
William Howard Taft alone lives
now as an exPresident. and from him,
now Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, came a message expressing to
Mrs Wilson his deepest sympathy in
her bereavement.
