WILSON NW
DEfiTH DODR
IN WASHINGTON
•i:
' (Continued from par-’ one.)
exchanged views almost daily on every
subject that has come within his keen
observation of what is taking place in
the wor]d outside.
Good Friend of Baruch.
Another with whom Io- often has
taken counsel was Bernat I M. Barjch
of New York and Mr. Bar i 'h t -da.v
was the first beside the physi it s.
to call and personally expr'ss to Mrs.
Wilson his hopj for the forme” Busi-
dent's recovery. As hea l of the war
industries board Mr. I’ trn’li was one
of those among the wartime counsel-
ors of the President in whom hi al-
ways had implicit confidence; and it
was Mr. Baruch with whom he con-
ferred last when he was setting forth
upon his ill-fated trip for the peace
treaty. He summoned him to his pri-
vate enr in the union statiom had a
talk with him that ended only when
the train rolled out upon its 10000-
mile journey.
Another caller during the morning
was Vance McCormick former chair-
man of the Democratic national com-
mittee and also an old friend.
The first symptoms of the latest
attack developed early this week when
Mr. Wilson liecamc a prey to a diges-
tive derangement at first of a minor
character but developing into a condi-
tion that at once aroused the concern
of those w ho hate watched his illness
in its smallest peculiarities.
Missed Usual Ride.
Those who live in the vicinity of
his home first guessed that something
was amiss when the big automobile
presented as a birthday gift a month
ago by anonymous friends failed to
draw np before the portals of the trim
brick house on S street to take the
former Chief Executive for his custom-
ary ride in the late afternoon.
On Wednesday Dr. Sterling Ruffin
who helped attend Mr. Wilson in his
illness at the White House was sum-
moned by Mrs. Wilson in the absence
of Dr. Grayson. He made a careful
examination and on Wednesday night
gave the publicist’ first real news of
the trouble in n statement saying that
a complication had developed but for
the moment was notrfif proportions to
warrant alarm. He added that the 1
complication was unrelated to the old
trouble that had assailed the former
President during his eastern speaking
trip late in 1919.
Dr. Grayson on his return to Wash- >
ington yesterday confirmed that diag- i
nosis and said ho did not at that time i
regard the attack as serious unless it i
should fail to yield to treatment.

FRIDAY
icver. manifestly aroused grave tears
I in the minds of Dr. Grayson and Mrs.
Wilson who has been the faithful at-
tendant of her husband since the first
symptoms 01 his collapse became mani-
fest during the western trip four ami
l a half years ago. Today she notified
I all the members of Mr. Wilson’s family
I of ins condition at the suggestion ot
Dr. Grayson. None of his three daugh-
| ters arc in Washington.
I Keep Constant Watch.
For a brief time this morning Dr.
| Grayson left the bedside of his patient
and made n hurried trip to his own
home. He did not take leave of the
Wilson home even then however un-
til he bad summoned Dr. 11. A. Fow-
ler. a Washington kidney specialist
who bad treated Mr. Wilson previous-
ly. tn remain on watch. Dr. Grayson
said the step was taken "as a preeau-
' tionary measure.”
Nevs of the change for the worse
1 spread rapidly throughout Washington
I as alarming rumors were disseminated
| over the whole country during the
: night by radio broadcasting Stations.
Early this morning before Dr. Gray-
son had issued his bulletin messages
of sympathy and encouragement began
arriving by the thousands.
President Coolidge was one of the
first to convey Ms expanse of regret
As soon as he reached his office the
■ President learned of the serious condi-
tion of Mr. Wilson and he imme-
diately sent to Mrs. Wilson a mesage
for himself and Mrs. Coolidge express-
ing concern and hope of a speedy re-
covery.
The messages of condolence came
I from the lowest as well as the highest
among the fellow citizens of the
former President. a< did the great
pressure of telephone inquiries that
besieged newspapers offices as soon
as the news spread. Washington and
the country had heard many rumors
heretofore about supposed relapses but
this time there seemed to bo a univer-
sal realization that something grave
had occurred. From admirers of the
war-time President in distant states
of Woodrow Wilson in his youth and
his collegiate days as well as from
public officials throughout all the
branches of the government the in-
quiries and expressions of regret
poured in a great tide of public sym-
pathy and apprehension.
Old Malady Returns.
Althrugh at first unrelated to the
direct cause of Mr. Wilson's collapse
in 1919. the dig-’stive disorder had
made such inroads on the strength of
the patient today as to develop anew
some of the old symptoms that had
succumbed to treatment and accen-
tuate others that had clung on despite
all that the best medical attention and
the tenderest care could do.

ried to rooming house in the 1100
block West Commerce street at 11:30
Thursday night when inmates report-
ed "groans and moans” .heard in one
of the rooms. They were frightened
and believed they told police a crime
had been perpetrated.
Rushing through the door after
shoving it open the plain clothes men
beheld a Chinese roomer lying prone
upon the floor singing.
Cries of "murder" gave the same
officers another run earlier in the
night to a dwelling in the .">OO block
Durango street. Neighbors were found
standing about the hou-e ns though
awe-stricken when the officers stepped
from tbc police car.
Investigation however disclosed no
