LAST DAY OF GEORGIA’'S NOT
ED SENATOR SPENT READ
ING HISTORICAL WORKS.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Senator
Thos. E. Watson, the most prominent
and picturesque figure that has ever
appeared in Georgia politics, had made
all preparations for leaving the capital
for his home at Thomson, Ga, the day
he died. Mrs. Watson and their two
grandchildren had left for Georgia
three weeks before. _
The noted Georgian had been a sui
ferer from asthma for the last 14 years.
His last illness started in the form of
an attack oi asthma about ten days
before he died. |
Senator Watson's last illness started
in the form of an attack of asthma
about ten days before he died. |
Spoke in Senate Friday. |
The last attack confined him to hcdl
for two days, but even then he \\'as‘l
permitted to get up at intervals. |
Against the advice of his physicians |
Senator Watson went to the smmt(*l
on Friday when the body adjourned, |
in order that he might say good-bye |
to his associates. His last utterance on |
the floor was at that time, when he|
arose to explain his absence during !
the vote to over-ride the president’s |
veto of the bonus bill. He said that
he had been detained by illness, but
that he would have voted to pass the |
bonus over President Harding’s head |
had he been present. ’
Saturday morning, however, he |
made another visit to his office at th«'i
capitol, and is said to have suffered|
come from the exertion. That night{
he had another attack of asthma,
which was more severe than any dur- |
ing his present illness. ‘
Spent Day Reading.
During Sunday Mr. Watson sprml
most of the day reading, remaining in!
bed although he expressed the desire |
to get up and go for a ride. i
An examination of the effects in the|
room in wheih he died showed that |
he spent the last day of his life ru:ul-!
ing historical works, a subject very |
dear to his heart. }
Near the bed where he died were
found such books as ~Chdrles thc{
Twelfth (an old volume he had a few |
days before picked up at a second |
hand book store; he was fond of go-.
ing to such places, often spendipg |
hours there and coming away laden |
with forgotten authors). 1
“Nations of the World,” and “The
English Annual” were two similarl
historical volumes he had been read
ing during the day. l
About 8 o'clock Sunday night Sen-|
ator Watson was seized with a \'io—l
lent attack of his chronic illness. Im
mediately Dr. Grant S. Barnhart, th('|
phvsician in charge, was smnmmwd.!
Although conscious the senator wasl
suffering intense pain, a strangling ef
fect caused by his inflamed rcspira—!
tory organs. It was necessary fo gi\‘ci
him strychnine for relief. The com
pound stimulated him, and he reviv
ed sufficiently to dismiss his attend
ants for the night. He felt easier and |
would try to get some sleep. Dr. Barn-|
hart expressed the belief that he would |
be all right by morning. I
Second Seizure. |
Later in the night he was again
seized by a paroxysm of ccmghing}
which immediately brought mcmhers‘
of the household to his bedside, This
time two physicians were called, Dr.!
Thomas K. Conrad being the svcon(l.!
Senator Watson was found to be
unconscious. He was breathing heavi
ly; his heart was bad. Doctors made
every effort to relieve him. But at
near 3 o'clock in the morning he ex
pired.
Senator Watson's heart, it was stat
ed, continued to beat even after his
respiratory organs ceased to function.
This prompted physicians to attempt
to resuscitate him with exercise, but
all efforts failed.
Hundreds of Floral Pieces.
During Tuesday Washington florists
received orders for hundreds of floral
pieces to be sent to the Watson home.
Only a few large pieces were ta
ken to the home here, however, the
others being kept in cold storage to
be placed with the casket on the fun
eral train.
As a further token of the esteem 1n |
which the Georgia senator was held
hundreds of telegrams poured in from
all sections of the country cxprcssingl
condolence: at his sudden death.
Among the number was a letter from
President Harding, who, together with'
the first lady of the land, offered sym-/
pathy in the unexpected bereavement
of the family. Georgians were particu
larly profuse in their interest, num
bers wanting to come to Washington
to escort the bier to the state.
Colleagues Accompany Body.
Funeral arrangements were taken in
charge by the sergeant at arms of the
senate, and Vice President Coolidge
and Speaker Gillett designated the
foilowing members of congress to
form an escort of-the remains to the
senator's Georgia home at Thomson:
Senators New, Indiana: Shortridge,
California; Brandagee. Connecticut;
Dial, South Carolina; Fletcher, Flori
da: Heflin, Alabama; Shield, Ten
nessee: Harrison, Mississippi; Tram
mel. Florida; Cameron, Arizona, and
Oddie, of Nevada. Representatives
Sisson, Mississippi; Smithwick, Flori
da: Byrnes, South Carolina, and the
entire Georgia delegation in the lower
house.
Two private cars bearing the dead
statesman and the funeral party left
Washington Wednesday afternoon.
Mrs. Watson was requested to per
mit the body to be carried by Atlanta
and lie in state at the capitol that
thousands of his friends and admirers
might look upon his face for the last
time. Mrs. Watson, while - appreciat
ing the impulse that prompted the
suggestion, declined to accede to the
request,» saying that Senator Watson
would not have wished such an ar
rangement.
The cost of the funeral, including
the special car and transportation of
the funeral party, will be paid for out
of the contingent fund of the senate.
The senate also will pay one year’s
salary in advance, $7.500;" to Senator
Watson's widow, and will continue
paving the salaries of his office force
until his successor appoints others in
their places. This is the custom fol
lowed for years.
Thousands of inhabitants of the
flooded provinces of north China are

FARMER PLOWS UP A
STEAMSHIP IN-HIS FIELD
Boat Sunk When Farm Was River
Bed. Had Whisky Cargo.
HAMBURG, la—Considerable in
terest and no little excitement has re
sulted from the “find” of a farmer liv
ing about five miles southwest of here.
This farmer, while plowing, uncovered
a steamboat that had been sunk when
the farm was the old bed of the Mis-
souri river.
| Especial interest attaches to the
| story from the fact that it has been a
