WIFE AND DAUGHTER HOLD BED
SIDE WATCH UNTIL LAST
FUNERAL WEDNESDAY

Death tip-toed softly to the bedside
of Woodrow Wilson Sunday morning
and quietly carried him away The
enc came at 11:15 a. M
He died just like tired man going
to sleep, Rear Admiral Cary T. Gray
Ison, Mr.. Wilson's personal physician.
said
Long before, Mr. Wilson had known
his end was coming, and with calm
resignation he lay waiting for it. He
dropped into coma Saturday night
and then, a few hours later, passed
without knowing it, into the sleep that
never ends.
Mrs. Wilson Watches
A few minutes before, two of his
physicians, Admiral Grayson and DR..
Sterling Ruffin, examined him and
found him barely alive. His heart.
weary with the long struggle, was
just fluttering perceptibly in the last
stage Of fatigue It was certain that
the end was vry near.
Dr. Ruffin left the house, but Adj
miral Grayson stayed at the bedside
to be there at the end
Mrs. Wilson and the former presi-
dents daughter, Margaret. rearranged
the pillows on the bed to ma
!. Wilson more comfortable. Then Mrs.
Wilson sat down at the bedside and
watched.
His Eyes Flutter
About Is minutes before Mr.. Will
son died he came out of his long sleep
and opened his eyes without apparent
~ regaining consciousness, Mrs. Will
son and his daughter, who were sit
ting on opposite sides of the great
four-poster bed, spoke to him but he
showed no recognition.
Mrs Wilson could scarcely detect
her husbands breathing. It was on'y
from the reassuring' mods Of Admir-
Grayscn from time to time that she
knew her husband was still with her
At times she leaned lightly over the
bed and stroked the feeble arm. But
already life was flickering too family
to respond to these last touches of af-
lection.
Anxiously her eyes followed Admir-
Grayson as he leaned over each
time to listen to Mr.. wilson's heart
and then, with the nod of assurance,
she would settle back with a weary
sigh.
The End Comes
But once, when Admiral Grayson
leaned over his face frightened as Mrs.
Wilson watched. There was a moment
of agonized suspense flicker of
doubt Then sad shake of the doc
tors head
That weary heart, which had car
ried its frail body along so courageous
" had at last yielded up the ghost.
The great world figure which had stir
red even the lowly peasants in the
heart of Europe to glimpse of what
civilization might be, became clay.

Coach Kraeht sprung af.-laf ov9tiof
in the way of preliminaries when he
trotted out the Nuts and the Nuts,
the surprise that had been advertised
for the evening. Doc Frankei, Dick
and jim White, Virgil Rockefeller and
Jack Johnson made up the Mutt team
Prof. Laren, Bill Pemkowsky, Pros
Stein, Glib Johnson and Gander were
the Nuts. From the first whistle,
when both teams started out with a
bang, until the end Of the game when
hardly a man could drag himself
around the floor, the homemade meth
DDS of playing basketball kept the bal
cony bawlers on the go. 1t was a laugh
able affair, as it was intended to be,
and got the crowd in fine trim for the
real game that the high school lads
put on Immediately after.
Oh yes, we forgot to mention the
score, which is not to be wondered at,
seeing the writer was on the losing
side. The Nuts won, 10 to 2. That
lone basket for the Nuts was made by
Dick Priebe who went in Gander's
place in the third period
Much obliged Dick. If it hadn't been
for you the Nuts would have been
goose-egged and then the Nuts
would have had something to shout
about. It's bad enough as it is.

Birnamwood II;
Eagle River Hi AZ
LOCAL CUNT RoLLs UP BIG
SCORE AGAINST VISITORS
MARION HERE TONIGHT

Eagle High added another to itz
long string OF basketball victories Of
the season when il, defeated the fast
Birnamwood high school team here
last Friday< night by the score Of AZ.
to II.
The game started out with a rush
and the speed was maintained until
the final whistle blew. 1t was as fast
a game as has been played in the
home gym this year. During the per
iod Ewald Gagged one, Belongy three
and Hoover and Bent one apiece for
Eagle which gave them II points. Birn
atwood got six points during the
same time when AIeckelke rung one
and Lewis two.
The second quarter was almost a re
petition OF the first as far as points
go Ewald and Belongy duplicated
their stunt of the first period and
Hoover dropped in 2 mere giving
Eagle a total Of "a for the half. Neck
elke found the basket again and Gaul-
er, new man, hit it twice, making
Birnamwood's total for the half, IS.
Eagle came back stronger in the
third period, Belongy tossing in four,
and Ewald and Hoover one each.
This gave the locals So points. Birn-
atwood was smothered by Eagles
rush during this period and failed to
connect which left their total at IS.
In the final period things eyened
themselves up a little better. Sander
son went in in Ewalds place and at
ter a few minutes Topped one in the
basket. His feat was duplicated by Be
longy and Hoover. The visitors had
better luck than their third round,
Strutz, who was put in in place of
MecEelke, getting one and Hooker get
ting another
The locals showed some dazzling
floor work and against such speedy
opponents as Birnamwcod, the game
was bound to be a little rough. Four
fouls were called on each team during
the game. On the free throws, Hooker
for Birnamwood got one in the last
quarter. Eagle failed to find the bas
ket on any of its free attempts.
Final score was AZ to II.

ten shares or less, showing how this
stock is held by smaller investors.
On June 30,1919, there was a con-
solidation, by order of the public serv-
ice commission, Of the old Indian
apolis Street Railway Company and
the Indianapolis Traction and Ter.
minal Company, into the Indianapolis
Street Railway Company, incorpora-
ted 1919.
7. H., I. & E. Holdings
BY this consolidation the Terre
Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Trac-
ton Company owns $1,000, 900 par of
the common stock of the Indianapolis
Street Railway Company, which has
never paid a dividend and has no vot-
ing power if dividends on the pre-
ferred stock are not paid for a year.
Thus. it will be seen that the Terre
Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Trac.
ton Company in no manner or form
controls the indianapolis Street Rail
way Company, nor could it by any
combination, on account of the diver
sity Of the stockholders.
The Indianapolis Street Railway
Company recognizes the inadequacy
of it's w. Washington st. power plant
to produce power economically. and
for that reason purchases about rs

or not the company was entitled to
more revenue.
After an investigation of some six
weeks by representatives of the civic
and labor organizations, assisted by
Harry Boggs, accountant for the puo-
lie service commission, the committee
made a report on May 10, 1922, to
Mayor Shank, which was submitted
to the public service commission,
showing that the street railway conf
pany needed more revenue in order to
provide adequate service.
Plans Fall Short
The committee was under the i'm
preston that if the company was re-
lieved of paving charges and increased
it's revenue from other sources, such
as charging a ten-cent fare on owl
cars instead of five cents, ETC., it would
save approximately $4,000 in oper-
ating expenses. AS a matter of fact,
less than $4,000 was derived from
these sources, including the ten-cent
fare on "owl'' cars.
Every effort was made and every
economy practiced by the company
in order to continue if possible the
five-cent fare. as no one realizes better
than the company that to invite travel
the rate should be as low as possible.
After a trial Of nearly two years,
however, it is found that it is utterly
impossible to furnish the service and
provide the additional cars which the
growing city demands and to which
the citizens are justly entitled under
the present economic conditions, on a
five-cent fare.
There must be sufficient revenue to
provide for the operation of at least
twenty-five additional cars, recon-
structing the tracks in various parts
of the city and, later on, building sub
stations.
Council Investigates
The city council. on Jan. %. 1924,
appointed a COMMITTEES Of five, includ-

gross earnings, operating expenses,
fixed charges, balance sheet, ETC., Of
the company for 1922 and 1923, Mr..
Perk made a detailed report to the
council committee. showing that If the
company is to keep pace with the
growing demands of the city and
furnish proper service i twill require
$500, 900 per annum additional reve-
nue..
In order that this increased revenue
may be devoted solely to the improve
ment Of the property, it is provided
in Perks report that the amount be
set aside in a special account and
that the company make statements
at least quarterly to the city council
showing the earnings, operating OK
penses, ETC., in order that a full and
complete check may be kept upon the
uses to which increased earnings are
devoted. The company is prepared
strictly to comply with this recon-
mendation.
Misstatements Made
Many misstatements have been
made by those uniformed. It has
been stated that the Indianapolis
Street Railway Company is controlled
by the Terre Haute. Indianapolis and
Eastern Traction Company. This is
positively incorrect. More than rs per
cent of the preferred stock 100000

throughout the State Of Indiana, there
being 1904 stockholders in Indiana
out of a total Of 1,216, OF whom $50

Had not the present legal obstruc.
