LIGHTS OUT AS
EDISON TRIBUTE
Nation Pays Final Honor to
Wizard Inventor.
By United Press


NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Millions of
flashing, blinking lights from
Broadway of New York to the
Golden Gate at San Francisco were
turned down Wednesday night in
memory of Thomas A. Edison.
1t was as if some giant hand had
quenched, in a single stroke, vir-
tually all illumination, barking back
to the days of gas light more than
fifty-two years ago-before Edison's
experiments with filaments had
brought forth the incandescent bulb.
The light Liberty holds aloft in
New York harbor went dark for a
minute, as did the beacon atop the
Empire State building.
So dependent is modern civiliza-
ton on EdiSon's invention, however,
that it was impossible to put out
every light. Subway lights, for in
stance, remained lit, but gay Broad
way, famed for it's thousands of
electric signs, became dim for sixty
seconds at 10 p. m.
Edison was buried at dusk in
RoSedale cemetery, West Orange.
The Rev. Dr. Stephen J. Herben,
Methodist pastor, a lifelong friend
Of the inventor, read the poem Just
Asleep" expressing the hope of
eternal life. Each member of the
family threw a rosebud on the
coffin.
Among the mourners were Mrs.
Hoover, Henry Ford and Harvey
FireStone.
