Precedent Smasher
After having borne the burdens of

of paralysis which led to his death,
and declared through it all that he
would have been happy to give his
life for the success of his efforts.
Woodrow Wilson was precedent

began by revivng the practice OF
Washington and Jefferson in deliv

deciding when a country with a peo.

REAL CAUSE OF DEATH.

WASHINGTON. FeD 4. The
real cause of Woodrow Wilson's
death was a stroke of paralysis
which followed his collapse in 1919.
Up to that time the country thought
he was in normal health but he was
far from it.
Woodrow Wilson entered the
White House with q well developed
start towards Bright's disease eaus-
ing the physicians to predict he
would never finish his first term az
President. But Wilson fought off the
malady by careful obedience to the
Doctors orders.
Woodrow Wilson was practically
blind in one eye from retinal hem
crrhage while at Princeton but the
country mover knew it. Years be-
fore he suffered thrombosis of one
leg but this never developed serious
trouble. The same thing to his
brain later laid him low and led to
his death.
By his personal directions, the
extent of his illness was kept from
the country lest,,pubic knowledge.
while he was President, might lead
to a stock market panic.
Funeral Services.
The funeral services will be held
Wednesday. Simple services will be
held at the home and will be brief
and private. This service will be
followed by another at the Cathedral
at Mount Adams where the body
will be placed in vault until ar
rangements are made for the final
resting place which is expected to be
in Arlington Cemetery.

Los Angeles Water
Supply Cut BY Raiders

Los Angeles, Cal.-Sixty men from
the Owens River valley swept down
upon the Los Angeles afueduct, over
powered the guards and opened the
Alabama waste gates, four miles north
Of Lone Pine, practically cutting off
large part of Los Angeles water
supply.
The entire flow, 2,1O2 gallons in a
second, is splitting into the Owens riv-
er. The raiders said they will con
tinue to waste the water until a COM
mittee comes from Los Angeles and
"Settles" with them.
Sheriff Collins, after vainly seeking
to have the waste gates closed, re.
turned to independence to telegraph
the facts to Gov. F. w. Richardson
and asked for troops.
Ever since the 285-mile aqueduct has
been built there has been opposition
on the part of the ranchers Of the
valley. They maintain that the city
has robbed their farms of water nee.
essary for irrigation purposes. Sew.
eral times there have been clashes.

SECOND BIG FIRE
FOR JERSEY CITY

New York.-The Jersey City water
front was swept on Sunday by fire
for the second time in three days, the
flames destroying two Erie railroad
piers, fourteen barges, loaded
freight car and a steam lighter. The
estimated loss is 100000. Three
fire fighters, one a tugboat captain,
were seriously injured.
On Friday two square water front
blocks were burned over and property
valued at over $5,0O0,0O0 was lost.
The distance between the fires was
approximately 20 blocks, and the cause
of each is unknown.
The wharves burned on Sunday
were piled high with westbound mer-
chandise, the character and value of
which may never be known, due to the
destruction of the freight records.
Racing through the piers and the
river craft with remarkable rapidity,
the flames threatened for a time the
passenger station Of the Erie railroad.
Throughout the fire the warehouse
pier of the American Railway Ex-
press company, with only four rail-
road tracks between it and the blaz-
ing mass that had been Pier 5, was in
peril. Stored in the warehouse were
express packages valued by officials
at between 100000 and $1,O00,00O.

Account for 100000

Springfield l.-Master-in-C hancery
Briggle delivered a ruling in Sanga-

must account for $1,000,00o of state
funds, alleged to have been withheld
while he was state treasurer. The
master denied the plea of the governor
in "civil SUITS"

that the governor be held to an ac-
counting, but declares that Verne S.

tratix of the estate of Edward G.

collected by them.
The report was received by Circuit
