She declared her husband's late hours and free indulgence in costly vintages so undermined his health that in 1916 he was practically a physical wreck and was removed from their Riverside Drive home ql- most a raving maniaotto a sanitarium im Connecticut. “For four weeks after his arrival at the ins@itution,” went on Mrs. Webi ber, “my husband was in such condi- tion that no one could talk to him.

An aide helped take Mr. Wilson’s overcoat from his shoulders and the man - who had driven through the streets of Rome, Paris and London, hailed as the great peace-maker of this generation, sank limply into his chair. “‘I'm afraid, Mr. President, I shall have to beg off’ (trom attending the inaugural ceremonies), was Mr, Wilson's final remark to Mr, Harding, | who told him he thoroughly understood. Then it was that Mr. Wilson, with halting step and down- cast head, his left shoulder stooped but his eyes | turned upward endeavoring to smile, trying to the end to exhibit a fighting spirit and an attitude of no surrender, passed out of official life into the sunshine of the Capitol grounds, there to be mo- tored to the privacy of his new home and the con- soling atmosphere of colleagues and friends, faith- | ful to the last to the idealism that once thrilled a war-torn world.” MARCH 4, 1913. HE New York World of March 5, 1913, in its TT story of the first inauguration of Woodrow Wilson, contained this comment on the physical appearance of Mr. Wilson while in the Senate Chamber: “Beside him (Mr, Taft) the new President looked almost boyish. While Mr. Taft moved ponderously Mr. Wilson was more alert. His keen blue eyes took in the splendors of the Ambassadorial uniforms, the cluster of dark-robed Justices and the faces of the Senators and Congressmen who filled the room.” The Times had the following in its account of Mr. Wilson's ride from the Capitol to the White House: ‘ “Bowing, smiling and with his hat in his hand most of the time, President Wilson travelled from the Capitol to the White House, As the Presiden- tial carriage swung from the Capitol grounds a great cheer went up and the President smiled and, leaning forward, waved his hand, This increased the noise. . . « “ “At North Carolina Avenue and B Street a new storm of cheers broke loose and the President took off his hat and bowed, . . “At New Jersey Avenue a "group in a window COP FRUSTRATES CHORUS GIRL LEAPS |FORD PAMPHLETS ALCOHOL ROBBERY | 5 STORIES TO DEATH | IMPEDE TRAFFIC erent OUT HOTEL WINDOW Bonnie Woodward Has Words With | Man Just Before Fatal eport of Shooting and Big Crowd Bring Police, Who End the citement, Two Barrels Abandoned With Stolen Baker's Wagon—Youth Near Scene Held.
