By the Associated Pres: WEST ORANGE, N. J., Octobew 20.— | The body of Thomas Alva Edison lay in state today, while thousands—the great and the unknown—paid homage and tribute. He rested In the library of his labora- | tory, in the lttle room, where, with test tube or pencil, so many of his wizardries of science took shape. More than 10,000 persons—school children, Edison plant employes, rela- tives and the curious—had waited in a long line throughout the mellow day yesterday to file into the little room. ‘The inventor will be buried In West Orange tomorrow. Final arrangsments have not been announced, but it was thought that Rev. Arthur H. Brown, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Orange, would officiate. Final services will be at the grave in Rose- dale Cemetery here. The funeral serv- ice hour is 2:30 p.m. President Is Undecided. President Hoover was still undecided today on his plan to attend the funeral. It was indicated by the White House secretariat that Mr. Hoover would reach a decision by tonight. ‘To their gomrade who turned his in- ventive genlus to his Nation's problems of national defense during the World ‘War, members of the American Legion and’ Veterans of Forelgn Wars paid tribute today. In solemn service 30 representatives® of both organizations filed through the softly lighted library, stood at atten- tion and saluted as two of their num- ber draped the casket with an Ameri- can flag. Mrs. Edison, who stood silently by, was visibly impressed by the ceremony. At her side were her son, Theodore; Mrs. Halbert Kellogg Hitchcock, her sister, and John V. Miller, her brother. Crutches Placed by Casket. The crutches and invalid chair of John Ott, & co-worker of Edison's for more than half & century, who dropped dead yesterday, were placed adjacent to the inventor's casket today. Ott's death was attributed to shock incident to the death of the invenor. A public demand for a national tribute to Mr. Edison's memory has swept the country. Acting Gov. Wolber of New Jersey problaimed that all electric lights in the State—in homes, streets, or fac- tories—be extinguished at 7 p.m. for one minute tomorrow as s reminder of what life would have been without Mr. IEdLmn': invention of the incandescent bulb. Several rallroads and industrial con- cerns have announced they will suspend ‘ operations for one minute in honor of | the inventor. In New York and in many other | citles flags were ordered at half mast. | The Brard of Education in New York started a movement to name one of its schools, now under construction, the ‘Thomas A. Edison High School. More Messages Received. Messages of condolence continued to arrive at Glenmont, the Edison home. Some of these received by Mrs. Edison follow: Cardinal Hayes—Pope Pius XI has directed me to present his sincerest sympathy to Mrs. Edison and family in this hour of sad bereavement while the snme werld suffers an frreparable loss ing on of one of its most dis- ed leaders in sclentific achieve- Premier Mussolini of Italy—His ge- nius belongs to the United States, but his work and his glory belcng to the civilized world. Gen. John J. Pershing—The world has suffered a loss that is irreparable. | None can take his place. Will H. Hayes—He was the father of the motion picture. Owen D. Young—The death of Edison gmrks an era in the progress of civiliza- on. Senatcr Guglielmo Marconi in a cable from Rome said “as a devoted friend and most genuine admirer of your late husband, whose life and achievements have greatly inspired me throughout my life, I beg to express to you my own and my wife's heartfelt sympathy in your great loss, which is shared by the whole civilized world.” Other Messages Received.

He will con- fer with members of the Edison family concerning their wishes and any part | the services might take in the funeral. Mr. Butler maintained contact with Mr. Edison until the last and now one of his cherished possessions is a sheaf of correspondence from him, much of it in the inventor's own handwriting. He was associated with Mr. Edison in | his quest for a substitute for rubber | and often took the inventor to the De- | partment of Agriculture and the Smith- | sonfan Institution, to get desired in- formation on plant life, Mr. Butler today recalled an incident illustrative of Edison's thoughtfulness. He had driven Mr. Edison around Washington quite a bit, recently, on one of the inventor's last visits to the National Capital. He saw Mr. Edison looking at his tires and the inventor remarked that his riding had worn them down quite a bit. pon his re- turn to New Jersey, Mr. Edison sent Mr. Butler a new set of the best tires obtainable, laughingly explaining that in his gearch for a substitute for rub- ber, he had worn out & lot of it.

In the Summer of 1917, Mr But- ler first came to know Mr. Edison. Dur- ing that year the inventor was in Wash- 1nmnmono(theume The 'Navy set aside for him two rooms at 173( New . York avenue and Mr. Edison brought with him his own draftsmen, clerks and other workers. By coinci- dence, they were the rooms of another great American, Admiral George Dewey. Mr. Edison lived at the Hotel Powhatan, at Eighteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue, where he could be near his work. Mr. Butler remembers the great in- ventor standing in line at one of the cafeterias for his lunch, instead of go- ing to a hotel. He had a fondness for apple pie and milk. ‘The secretary of the joint board says he often recalls that Mr. Edison would curl up on a drafting board, put a dic- tionary under his head and sleep for 20 minutes and then feel refreshed for another six hours. Objected to Late Hours. Mr. Edison could not understand Washington getting to work at 9 o'clock in the morning, when the Government departments open. Informed that was the time the working day starts here, Mr. Edison wanted to know, upon his arrival here for active war yervxee, what ople did with the rest of the mom- , up to that time. “For two years, Mr. Edison gave his whole time and put his entire Mub- P.

On one occasion, Mr. Butler had only 15 minutes to get a motion pic- ture projection machine. He did this by securing the co-operation of the Ninth Street Theater. and Secretary of War Newton D. Baker and Secr of the Navy Josephus Daniels, with Mr. Edison, went down and viewed a film showing the progress of work on which Mr. ison was then' engaged. This work, Mr. Butler said, has never been made public, ‘When concentrating on a problem, Mr. Edison would tolerate no inter ference, Mr. Butler recalled, except that he would stop any time to hear s good story and “always came back with a better one.” MrA Edison came to work early and stayed late and all the foreign attaches led on him, particularly the Italians, wlm whom he was co-operating closely. During the latter of the war, the Navy made available to Mr. Edison a converted yacht, the U. 8. 8. Sachem. This small boat was assigned for his exclusive useé at New London, Conn.
