WASHINGTON, Aup. 7. IloarltiR
! well under Ills Rrlcf, the president
went lo Mr desk to sign n few 1m
liortnnt papers, but returned I nunc
rtlntcly to the whlto lionr-e, yrhero
tlio riaR tluttored nt half Hinst ami
the shades at the windows wore
drawn. Gates to the grounds were
closed, only tlio most pressing bus
Incss was transacted nt the execu
tive offices and attaches and servants,
all of whom Mrs. Wilson knew per
sonally, showed their deep grief.
A procession of carrlnges bringing
cards and callers from official and
diplomatic circles circled around Iho
ivhto house, offices.
Under tho heavy strain of domes
tic legislation, tho situation nt homo
resulting from tho European crisis,
the long, hard vigil through tho
Jtoxcan crisis, tho president worked
unceasingly. His knowledge for tho
last week that his wife was 111 to
death has added Immeasurably to that
burden and yesterday afternoon at
K o'clock when tho last faint flicker
of life, was extinguished, those who
knelt at tho bedside saw him glvo
way to his grief, probably for tho
first time.
