NATION MOURNS AS WILSON IS BURIED
DEATHTOLLOF
GOLD WE 15
PLACEDATI2
Casualty List May Mount
to Twenty Before Bliz-
zard Is Over.
AFFECTS FOUR STATES
Indiana. Illinois Michigan
and Wisconsin Are
“Digging Out.” *
Twelve persons lost their lives in
the terrific cold wave that has spread
a blanket and ice and snow over sec-
tions of Indiana. Illinois Michigan
and Wisconsin and damage which
will mount into the millions has been
caused according to reports from the
sections affected.
It is thought tliat when the final
checkup is made tiiat it will be found
that a score of deaths were caused by
the blizzard that has swept Middle
West and central sections of the na-
tion.
CHICAGO USES RADIO.
Telegraph and Telephone Wires De-
stroyed by Snow and Ice.
Chicago. Feb. The Middle West
and Central sections are shaking off
the grip of the storm which during
the past two days has caused nearly
| a score of deaths and damage amount-
ing to millions of dollars to them und
the wire communication facilities.
Though more snow is forecast for to-
day the blizzard’s force is ebbing as
it moves slowly eastward. Railroads
telegraph and telephone companies are
I' hopeful of improving conditions that
I have virtually isolated many points
| in the stor mnrea although some time
| will elapse before train schedules will
I be normal and complete wire service
I restored.
I Radio continues to be Chicago s
I chief means of communication. News
I market reports train bulletins and or-
I tiers have been broadcast to and from
I the city. Towns where telegraph and
I telephone service had been prostrattd
I were kept in touch with world events
I through messages in the air.
I- Three deaths in Milwaukee resulted
I from exhaustion in combatting the
I force of the blizzard. Two Chicago
I children coasting were struck and
I killed by an automobile. Blinding
I snow caused three persons in Michigan
I to die from injuries resulting from col-
I listens. Rockford reports a girl is be-
I licved to have perished in the storm
I while on an errand. Three were killed
I in Alabama the southern edge of the
I storm area during a cyclone.
I Milk famines in several cities are
I being faced today because snow blocked
I roads prevent dairymen from trnns-
I porting their supplies. Only one-fifth
I of Milwaukee’s normal supply was
I brought in yesterday. Rockford. 111.
I was left virtually without a supply
I yesterday.
FOUR STATES AFFECTED.
Bitter Weather Hangs on as Ice and
Sleet Grip Sections.
Detroit. Mich.. Feb. 6.—ln section
of four states railroad telephone and
telegraph companies are busy today
attempting to re-establish communica-
tion which was stopped Monday by
cue of the worst storms that has
visited the Western tire it I.akcs re-
gitn for some years. Indi'-ati n: today
tire that the main arteries of trail -
pertatiou und communication will be
working by tonight although it prob-
ably will be several days before nor-
mal conditions are established.
Storm Center Near Chicago.
The storm which centered around
the Chicago region affected Northern
Indiana and Central and B estern
Michigan. Northern Illinois and Wis-
consin. Train service on the Chicago
and Northwestern railroad and the
Chicago and Milwaukee and St. Paul
in Northern Illinois and Wisconsin
was at a standstill for more than 24
hours while snow plows battled
against heavy drifts of snow to re-
lease marooned freight and passenger
trains.
In Michigan service on lines of the
Pennsylvania and Michigan Central
in the western part of the state as
well as on several short lines running
into the northern part of the lower
peninsula and connecting it with I p-
per Michigan was completely halted
for more than 24 hours.
Telsgrarh and telephone commun-
ication throughout the section hit by
the storm was re-established early to-
day although in most cases Des than
half of the usual number of circuits
were in operation.
No estimate of the damage don* 1 by
the storm is possible at present.
So far no reports of suffering as a
result of food shortage has come from
any of the towns cut off from rail-
road communication.

Martyred Former Chief of Nation
Passes From Worldly Stage While

Work and Pays Homage—Bells of
Nation Toll and Guns Fire Somber
Salutes as Body Is Placed in VaulL
Washington D. C. Feb. 6.—Woodrow Wilson passed
forever today from the world stage where once he towered
a commanding figure.
In the sacred privacy of the home last rites were
said—as simple as faith of the man himself in the good-
ness of God. Only the presence of the President and the
few who were his colleagues in days of greatness and the
quiet thousands waiting outside under wintry skies for a
humble share in the last leave taking marked this as the
funeral of a great man.
There was more formal tone to the cathedral service
which followed. There in the chapel that gives entrance
to the vault of entombment were gathered the dignitaries
of governments and many men of place and power in
America. Organ note and the pealing voices of the choir
added a touch of ceremony to the brief religious exercises.
But at the very last the dead passed again into the
; keeping of his nearest and dearest who alone kept watch
over the entombment and share the resigned faith of the
eommital service uttered. The natron’s share in that last
moment was only to stand in silent reverence outside while
the tomb received the keeping of an honored American.

By the Associated Press.
During the funeral services the busy
life of the nation's capital stood at
psus" as elsewhere over America meit
did last honor to the dead. The
drumming guns of sorrow echoed
dully from the distant hills where.
Fort Myer lies guns that had heralded t
the dark cloud wrapped coming of (
day with the somber clamour of sa-
lute to a dead commander. Wherever '
the flag flew above shin or fort
masted in token of the nation’s ms:
the guns proclaimed the proud sorrow
of a people.
About the stricken home and at the.
cathedral were massed the flowers and 1
wreaths that came pouring in todays
from every nearby city and town. ‘
There were formal pieces and many ‘
simple clusters of the fragrant biot-
soms. A story of the greatness of the’
man whose last earthly moment they*
marked was written on the cards 4
There were great names among them
those of kings and presidents and of j
others in whose keeping today is the
destiny of civilization.
Many Floral Tributes.
Among the offerings were some from
comrades who served in the great war <
under the fallen chieftain served in
the fighting ranks of the nation. They
bore such legends as ‘to our com-1
rade’’; ‘to our chief’ aud "from his ।
<s>mrades."
The love lines of the blooms will
not fade unnoted for the grief bowed ।
widow has willed that these tributes ।
to the Woodrow Wilson shall go one (
to Walter Reed hospital after the
ceremony to carry their message of
hope and cheer to the wounded meat
there as a last token of remembrance i
from the chieftain who has passed
on into eternity.
