Chairman for Contests,
Makes Statement
With $350 in state prizes, and
the Frank T. -Wrightman fund
prise of $50 for the best essays by
th school children of the county,
interest in the American legion
essay contest upon the subject.
'Peace Time Patriotism" is in
creasing, according to Robin D.
Day, attorney who has been named
chairman for the Marion county
contests. Mr. Day is prominent
in legion activities and is Chef la
Gare, or president, of the Societe
des 40 Hommes et 8 Chevaux, Ihe
special order of the American le
gion. Though be is not married.
Mr. Day speaks from the broad
point of view when he says:
"It is in our children and our
hcildren's children' that the fu
ture welfare of our country ex-
sts. We of the present genera
tion must soon doff the mantle of
government, and the child, who is
now the student In the school,
muist take the wheel which guides
the! ship of state. The seeds of
imported discontent, born of a un
ion of anarchist and Bolshevism
can only be suppressed by the pa
triotism of our loyal citizenship
and that citizenship of the future
is now the children of the public
schools.
"Give these children every in
centive that is within our power
that they may make a study of
these subjects pertaining to the
patriotic duty of every American
the love of country and its flag
to study its needs and its well
being," Mr. Day continued. "Ev
ery child that writes an article
relative to a patriotic duty makes
a study of the subject and there
fore becomes inspired, with the
need that all who love this land
must be on the alert, against the
incipid poison-of the soviet of the
honeyed words of an agitator, and
see that there is not weakened one
cord that binds together in har
mony these great United States.
"We have but to look for ex
ample at the condition of the
countries of Europe today to see
what may be brought to a people
by a lack of faith in a govern
ment; to see what was once a pros
perous and contented country ot
a few years ago now rnled by
riot. Such is the result of the
lack of patriotism in both those
who rule and those who are rul
ed." " n

Supreme Crisis Expected at
Any Moment By Dr. Gray
son and Other Doctors
WASHINGTON; Feb. 1. Wood-
row Wilson is fighting against
death at close quarters.
With a tenacity born of the 'old
indomitable spirit that carried him
through so many desperate battles
n the momentous day of his ser
vice in the White House, he clung
to life tonight after those about
him had all but abandoned hope of
his recovery. j
By nightfall' he had snatched
back a little strength that had ebfc
ed away in the earlier hours, but
his condition. remained grave and
the watchers at his bedside real-l
ized how insignificant a turn for
the "worse, it would take, ti sntiff
oht the flickering flame of his
earthly being.
As the evening hours passed the
broken remnant of his vitality
reached the stage in whieh both
friends and physicians were pow
erless to do more than hope lor
the best. No one knew what mo
ment the supreme crisis might
come or whether he again would
emerge victorious. A conviction'
lay upon all of those without,
however, that even shonld he tfve
to see day, then end would be orJy
a question of hours.
Relapse Came Monday :
The immediate cause of-his 're!
lapse was a minor digestive de
rangement which first appeared
last Monday. In the beginning it
was not in itself alarming but it
was enough to undermine the slen
der support by which his vitality
has been sustained since lingering
illness first took a grip upon Aim
four years and ' four months ago.
He took a sudden serious turn in
the early hours of today, and ever
since has lain between life and
death.
While the great personages ot
Washington and the lowliest of
his followers' far and' near were
pouring in a flood of message of
sympathy or calling at his home
to express their concern, he spent
the long hours of the day and
night sleeping ftifully and awak
ening to speak in faint whispers
to those who were with. biai.
During the afternoon ha was
able to take some nourishment;
his heart seemed 'a trifle strong:
his mind remained for the most
part clear and alert; he suffered
somewhat but bore it stoically.
The sinking sun and the twilight
hours saw him still fighting, but
there were no signs that encour
aged his physicians to believe that
a material change for the better
was in prospect.
Says "I'm Ready"
He himself understood that the
battle through which he was pass
ing probably would be his last.
"I'm ready," he said to his
friend and physician, Dr. Grayson
"You've done all you could. I am
a broken machine. It's better that
I should go than remain a helpless
Invalid'
Mrs. Wilson who has been his
constant companion since his lonq
illness began' remained at his bed
side as. the battle went on. Miss
Margaret Wilson of New York,
the former president's daughter
and Joseph Wilson of Baltimore,
his brother, Joined her late in the
ttay. Other members of the fam
ily also have been summoned by
telegraph.
i The digestive trouble that led
to the present grave condition re
suited from some injudicious
choice of food taken Monday. Dr.
Grayson was in' North Carolina
on a hunting trip but Mrs. Wilson
sent for him because of her long
experience with the delicate con
istitution of the former president
she saw there might be real dan
gcr ahead.

examination and prescribed

HUSH OF IMPENDING SORROW
FELT NEAR WILSON'S HOME
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. -Up
and down the steep, narrow street
to Woodrow Wilson's home since
he laid aside the presidency for
the peace of private life, there
flowed today, a curious traffic
marked by, the rush of an impen
ding sorrow.
It was not very great as num
bers go, for "S" street, where the
Wilson home stands shoulder to
shoulder with a half dozen other
mansions, its a byway of city traf
fic. -But' an' word spread, that the
former president lay close to the
end of his life's journey, a police
cordon was necessary to free the
street of motor cars that turned
that way for word from the sick
room. ;
Admiral Grayson was tne spokes
man from the house of sorrowful
waiting. Once, early, in the day,
he came out. weary with his long
vigil and his Own emotion, while
the reporters clustered close about
him on. the sidewalk. Ho could
give them no word of encourage
ment.; The cuff was only a matter
of hours, it seemed, and Mr. Wil
son himself knew that it was near.
The other doctors who had coun
seled with Dr. Grayson in the
morning hours, would not talk of
the condition of the patient when
they came out. But they were
grave when they said the former
presidenti.was sleeping and in no
pain. It ; was plain they enter
tained no hope.
Opposite the Wilson home, where
a hich bank stands fronting a
stretch of vacant, bush-gmWn
land, a line of passers-by grew and
thinnod and grew again. For the
most parti thoy were people of the
neighborhood. Among them wcro
little groups of children caught in
the midst of their ilay by the
sight of the silent watchers and
,come to Jook euriously -on. Most
Ot them have seen other crowds
before that house crowds of cheer
ing, laughing folks come to wait
patiently until the bent figure of
Woodrow. Wilson should emerge at
the doorway and send back a smil
ing answer to the cheers and ap
plause that greeted him.
There were bands to play and
orators to speak those other times
and the children who came today
seemed at first to expect such an
other -hidtiicnt: of (excitement I and
pleasuraf But taey caught ; the
sorrowful expectancy of tho gath
cring very . quickly and drifted
silently away. Itj was not neces
sary that any one shotjld caution
mem to be quiet.
In the afternoon there began
to arrive friends who stopped
only to leave cards at the door
Thwre were many of those, and
many times messenger boys came
speeding: up o down the , hilly
street to; leave messages of sym
pathy and hope for Mrs. '-Wilson

WILSON
Thej room where Mr. Wilson lay
is' high in the back part of the
house j his 'windows, looking out
toward the south, over the brick
walled; gardens that ramble down
to the' street below. ' There was
no fear that the coming and go
ing at the S street entrance of the
honse would disturb him, even
the noises of the streets about
came but softly to the room and
none sought through the day to
bar anyone Who wished to stand
moment before the house. .
A woman came to the door with
the" wish in her heart to pray for
the sick man. The police officer
questioned her gently. She cross
ed the street and stood silently
with bowed head for a few mo
ments, then passed on down the
street. -
A very few came to seek admit
tance. Bernard M. Barucn was
among those and he spent most
of the day in the house seeking
some way to be nelpful. Joseph
R. Tumulty. Mr. Wilson's secre-
ary in the long stirring years of
his political life came and went
at the house both day and nignt
His great personal grief was very
apparent.

Durine the afternoon Joseph Wil
son. brother ot the former presi
dent came from the house hasten
ing to meet Miss Margaret wil
son. hurrying to her father's bed
side from New York.
To w a rd evening Secretary
Weeks' car stopped at the bottom
of the hill and he walked up to
leave his card at the door. A lit
tle later 'Chief Justice Taft walked
down the- hill , with his message
of sympathy and later A. MitcheU
rainier, attorney general in Mr.
Wilson's last administration was
admitted to the house for a few
minutes.
As night fell, a cold wind rustl
ed through the street chilling the
watchers. ,the group slowly broke
up except for. a knot of enlisted
men from the non-commissioned
officer's staff school, whoso uni
forms made a spot ot color under
the dim street lights. They were
staunch admirers of the former
president and canfe to pay what
tribute they could to him.
For those who. stood in the
street there was little to watch,
just the comings and goings at a
house ot sickness, yet some of
them remained long after dark
before they surrendered to the
cold and drifted away to leave the
vigil to the newspaper reporters.

E. L. Doheny before the senate
oil9 lease . investigation committee
for legal services to the Doheny
companies, according to a declar
ation made! at McAdoo's offices
here late today.
When shown a report of Do
heny testimony, Mr. McAdoo first
issued a statement characterizing
as "wholly without justification
of any sort" the dragging in ot his
name at the oil lease probe.
The next move was to telegraph
Senator Walsh of the senate com
mittee of inquiry asking that ar
rangements be made for him to ap-
near before the committee and
give his testimony.
Mr. and Mrs. McAdoo plan to
leave for Washington tomorrow
morning on account of the illness
of Woodrow Wilson, Mrs. Mc
Adoo's father.
In his formal statement the ex-
secretary of the treasury and di
rector general of the railraods de
clared that "never at any time had
ho been employed or consulted re
garding any oil lease anywhere in
the United States." He amplified
this assertion with the explana
tion that his advice to the Doheny
companies had been entirely in
connection with their business in
Mexico.
