HINMAN, JR., Universal Service Correspondent. Washington, Feb. 3.—Woodrow Wilson died at 11:16 o’clock Sunday 1 morning. i The end came peacefully after 24 hours passed almost entirely In un consciousness. Mrs. Wilson. Miss Margaret Wil son, a daughter, and Dr. Cary T. j Grayson, personal physician, were at ! the bedside when death came. The (feficial announcement Issued j by Dr. Grayson at 11:20 o’clock reads: "Mr. Wilson died at 11:16 this morning. His heart’s action became feebler and feebler, and the heart muscle was so fatigued that it re fused to act any longer. The end came peacefully “The remote causes of death lit In his 111 health which began more than four years ago, namely, arterlo sclerosis, with meiphlegla. "The immediate cause of death was exhaustion following a digestive disturbance which began In the early part of last week but which did not reach an acute stage until the early morning hours of Febru ary 1.’’ Standing Shock Well Mrs. Wilson, whose constant care for nearly five years had been the failing health of the former presi dent, 1s bearing up well under the shock of the Inevitable death. Tense sorrow marked the circum stances surrounding the announce ment of the former president’s pass ing. Earlier reports from the sick room had prepared the watchers for the inevitable statement that the end had come. A silent throng waited patiently ouside the house for the news. A small group of newspaper men stood at the door—waiting. Dr. Grayson, tears In his cy$s, appeared In the doorway a few min utes before 11:20 o'clock. His drawn i face told the story even before he. : began distributing the official bulle tin. Silently, without formality, he gave out the copies. "That’s all,” he commented, his voice choked and tears welling from his eyes onto his checks- “Mr. Wil son died at 11:15 o'clock. The end came peacefully." The physician could say no more. Barely Survived Night Mr. Wilson barely survived the night. At 8:30 o’clock the first bul letin of the day was issued. It read: "Mr. Wilson is unconscious, and his pulse is very weak." The former president, Dr. Grayson explained, had passed "as restful a night as could he expected." Each hour, however, had seen his pulse grow weaker and weaker. His vi tality, the marvel of his physicians, was slowly ebbing away. Mrs. Wilson, Dr. Grayson said, had had some rest during the night and was enduring the strain remarkably well. The physician’s own heroic service through the tragic hours showed in his worn face and halting words. He appeared on the verge of collapse. Shortly after 10 o’clock Dr- Ster ling Ruffin went to the Wilson home for a consultation. The following brief bulletin was issued by Dr Grayson at 10:30 o'clock. "After a quiet night, Mr. Wilson la very low and the end may be ex pected any time.’’ Crowd Knelt in Prayer Dr. Grayson added that Mr. Wil son had been unable to speak for many hours. The dying leader, he said, would never wake from the deep sleep upon which he had en tered early the night before and which had turned into coma about 10 o'clock the same night. The throng outside the Wilson home grew steadily but silently, as the news spread through the city that the former president had hut minutes to live. About an hour be fore the final announcement the crowd knelt in prayer for fully five minutes. No words were spoken aloud but the alienee was broken by stifled sobs. Then came the inevitable an nouncement. The silent crowd heard and melted slowly away. There was no demonstration. Dr. J. Varela, minister from Uru guay, was the first member of the diplomatic corps to leave cards of j condolence at the Wilson home- A j few moments later a 5-year-old boy j carried a pink rose to the door and j handed It to the butler. Coolidges First Callers President and Mrs. Coolidge, repre- ! Benting the people of the nation the ; (lead chief had led In the world’s I greatest conflict, were the first of ficial callers to arrive at the Wilson home, and leave cards of sympathy. They had heard the sorrowful news Stanton Attorney In Allen's Place Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 2.—D. C. Ohaee, j Stanton attorney, "was appointed by i Gov. Bryan today to fill the place j of the late Jadge W. V. Allen of Madison of the ninth Judicial district. The selection wus made from a group ; of seven of eight men who Gov. ; Bryan said composed “plenty of good material for the Judgeship.’ * p • P.tsflasMBornk. y tltodau Death Claims Former President of United States. Born 1856 Woodrow Wilson. Died 1924 \ through the crying of extras by news- ! boys as they sat in church. It whs Just before the minister offered bene diction. From the church the president and Mrs. Coolidge went direct to the Wilson home, where they left the White House automobile, walked to the door and presented their cards i to the butler. Returning to the White Hoxise, the executive shortly issued a proclama tion formally announcing the death to the nation and ordering flags over j the White House and other govern- ! ment buildings at half mast, marking the beginning of an official period of mourning to continue for 30 days. Respect Wishes of Family The proclamation directed that ap propriate military and naval honors be accorded In keeping with the wishes of the family. A subsequent order will bo issued proclaiming the day of the funeral a holiday. Governmental machinery was set in motion for a state funeral with full public honors, If the family will per mit. It was announced at the Wil- ; son home that <*11 arrangements would he made In accordance with the desires of Mrs. Wilson. She had not undertaken to come to any de cision, pending word from Mr. and Mrs. William G. McAdoo, sonlnlnw and daughter of the fallen execu tive, who are on their way from Cal- | ifornla. A telegram-'from Mr. McAdoo said the earliest hour they could reach Washington is 10 o'clock Wednesday morning, and that depends upon \ close train connection at Chicago.

Should there ba a state funeral, the body doubtless would lie In state un der the vast white dome of the capi tol rotunda, where the ceremonies would take place. There also has been the suggestion from official and congressional quarters that the war president should rest in Arlington national cemetery beside those of his comrades In arms who gave their all on the battle fTelds. Expressed Ne Wishes This, too, depends upon the wish of Mrs. Wilson. It Is understood she Is unwilling to insist upon plans that might deprive the nation and Its great army of mourners of an oppor tunity to pay their last tribute to the former chieftain. Mr. McAdoo Is expected to counsel acquiescence In this plan. Other suggestions are that the burial might take place at Princeton, N- J.. the deceased executive's, heme before he entered the field of poli ties, or at aaunton, Va„ where he was born. Admiral Grayson stated that during none of the few Intervals of con sciousness after ho learned the end was inevitable did Mr. Wilson ex press any wish as to funeral arrange ments. Activities of all kinds will be sus pended at the White House until after the funeral and no social functions will take place during the 30 day mourning period. Invitations for a brilliant congressional reception at th« executive mansion for the eve ning of February 7. already have been withdrawn. The same program will be observed by members of the cabi net and the diplomatic corps. The mourning period also extends to all embassies and legations and military and naval stations and ships wher ever they may be In the world. Embassies Notified Secretary of State Hughes. Imme diately after being advised of Mr. Wilson's death, cabled all American diplomatic and consular posts, in forming them and directing that flags be flown at half mn.st for 30 days. Similar orders went out by wire and wireless to army and navy posts and sljips. It was stated at the White House that the onl^y official activity contem plated by the president prior to the funeral is his scheduled speech Mon day morning before a meeting of fi nancial and farming representatives Twelve Ineligible at Illinois University •* Urbana, 11!., Feb. 2.

Ths president was said to feel that each day of de lay is costly and ths conference should proceed. When Dr. Grayson left the house for the night, he said Mrs. Wilson was very fatigued, but was bearing up wonderfully well. He declared the sorrow stricken widow Is a very brave woman. Dr- Stockton Axson, brother of ths first Mrs. Wilson, told of the calm fortitude with which the widow with stood ths loss of her hsbnnd. Speak ing in subdued tones to ths little fam ily group, shortly after the end came, she said, according to Dr. Axson: "It was for ths best. He Is rid of the pain and trouble 1 am glad he went away peacefully." Miss Margaret Wilson, the only one of the three daughters who was able to be at her father’s bedside, also is bearing up well. The shock of ths death was mitigated for both women by the fact that it had been known to be inevitable for some time. Daughters Notified News of the death went to the other two daughters by telegraph and cable. Mrs. William G. McAdoo was reached on the trafti coming to Washington from her home In Los Angeles. Mrs. Francis B- 8ayre, the other daughter, is with her husband in far away Slam, where he is coun sellor to the king. While the bereaved horns awaited word from the McAdoos regarding their wishes for ths funeral, only a stand of flowers—the favorite blooms of Mr. Wilson—told the pass ing throng that their former presi dent lay dead Inside. The usual crepe hanging from ths door was dispensed with, ths flowers being placed at ths right of the door. Reviewing the fatal illness which brought four and a half years of Invalidism to an end. Dr. Grayson recalled that Mr. Wilson was up and around the house as late as last Thursday, when the physician was called in for the first time. His pa tient at that time was suffering from a digestive disturbance. Dr. Gray son was confident that he would re cover until the crash came early Fri day morning.
