dor were grouped the offerings of
the other, diplomatic missions.
Chairs had been set for the dis
tinguished few who might witness
the ceremony and they more than
half covered the floor of the chapel.
There was little room behind for
those who would stand.
On the back wall of the chapel,
where the organ pipes are set in
fifth with stone work, blossoms had
been woven into the sculptured deco
rations that tell the story of the
birth of Christ.
Meantime, an hour before the
service at the home was to begin,
, several thousand persons were gath
ered in the street which was lined
on either side by marines and infan
trymen. They had come to get a
fleeting glimpse of the start of the
funeral procession to Mount St. Al
bans. The assemblage grew with
every minute, despite gathering
c&uds and a thrust of snow.
A sudden illness had prevented
Chief Justice Taft from taking his
place among the honorary pallbear
ers, and Senator Lodge sent word
that a throat attack would make
it impossible for him to act as a
member of the committee of sen
ators. Charles S. Hamlin, former
governor of the federal resetve
board; Robert Bridges, of New York,
a classmate of Mr. Wilson s, and
Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, the
friend and physician of years, were
added to the corps of honorary pall

LEAGUE OF NATIONS PLANK
INDICATED FOR DEMOCRATS
THROUGH DEATH OF WILSON
Passing of Party Leader Be
lieved to Forecast Gain in
Strength of McAdoo Cam
paign for Nomination
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.),
(Copyright, 1924.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. s.—The death
of Woodrow Wilson will have one
important effect on the political sit
uation of 1924, it will mean the cer
tain inclusion in the Democratic na
tional platform of a plank declaring
for American membership in the
League of Nations.
There will be enough Wilson men
in the Democratic convention to as
sure the adoption of such a plank.
Instead of being regarded as a closed
incident, the league will be brought
into the political discussion by the
candidate nominated in fact, the
price of support, from the Wilson
men to any candidate who comes
before the convention will be pledged
to uphold the Wilson foreign policies.
Four years ago the Wilson stamp
was a liability. One of the first
signs of disapproval of James M.
Cox’s acts after his nomination came
from those Democrats who thought
he should not have visited Wilson,
or embraced the League of Nations
idea, even though he made it clear
he favored reservations. One of the
objections entered at San Francisco
against the candidacy of William
Gibbs McAdoo was that he would
inherit all the opposition to Wilson.
The “son-in-law” argument did im
press many delegates.
, Relationship Now Asset
Today the relationship between
Mr. McAdoo and his distinguished
fath,er-in-law, and particularly the
fact that Mr. Wilson made Mr. Me
silence as the casket was carried
swiftly by.
Traffic Turned Back
Even before the small gathering
of those who would join with tha
(family. in the home service had be
gun to assemble, • the lines were
forming where the carriages and
motors waited to bear them on later
to the chapel. For a wide area
about the S street home and on
either side of the way up Massa
chusetts avenue to Mount St. Al
bans, where the cathedral stands,
police regulations closed off vehic
ular traffic except such as was
necessary for the funeral party.
Others of the distinguished com
pany destined to witness the chape;
ceremony were carried by round
about -ways to the cathedral and
all were m their places in the dim
chapel before the funeral party ar
rived. There was only standing
space for those behind the few
chairs set for the family and for
President Coolidge and his cabinet.
On the south side of “S” street
even pedestrian traffic had been
closed off to keep the way clear
for the entire block. Opposite,
where through the long hours of
Mr. Wilson’s last illness had stood
a waiting line that sometimes
kneeled in prayer, those afoot could
find place. Many lined the high
banked earth beyond the sidewalk
to wait for a brief glimpse of the
president and Mrs. Coolidge and of
the other distinguished persons who
were admitted to the private serv
ice.
There was no music in that sim
ple service, nothing that could
carry out to the waiting people in
the streets all about. The library
where the service was held is at
the back of the house, and no win
dow glimpse rewarded the patient
watchers in the street.
Ceremony Simple
Most of those in the streets al
ready knew almost word for word
what was to be said within. They
knew that three clergymen would
make a fellowship of simple mourn
ing and devotional utterance beside
the beir, the Episcopal bishop of
Washington and the two Presby
terian pastors with whom Mr. Wil
son had worshipped in Washington
or in Princeton. There were many
out there who could have repeated
with Dr. Taylor the encouraging
words of faith and comfort voiced
in the twenty-third psalm, who
could have foretold the appeal Dr.
Beach would make that heavenly
compassion would encompass the
bereaved household. It was for
Bishop Freeman to read that even
more intimate page from the devout
life of the dead man, taken from
the worn book of religious comfort
I it had been his nightly custom to
1 read.
Arrival before the home of the
squad of non-commissioned men
from the army, navy and marine
corps was the one touch of color
for which the simple rites provided.
There were eight men from each
service, specially selected for their
records of duty to the flag well
done. Their task was the carrying
I out of the casket under its shroud
' ing flag, to lift it to the hearse, then
: to fall in about the hearse as the

DURHAM.—Dr. pj A. Rascoe,
former dean of law school. Stetson '

ber of faculty of University of Flor- i
ida, Gainesville, is located here at i

of states, and son, W. F. Rascoe,
of city high school faculty, says
father probably will remain here
month to take complete rest, having
recently suffered severely from
nervous troubles.
Adoo secretary of the treasury dur
ing the war and also director general
of railroads, may prove an asset to
the McAdoo campaign.
At the moment the former secre
tary of the treasury is the center of
discussion because of the statement
by E. L. Doheny, oil magnate, that
he hired Mr. McAdoo and paid him
a largo fee after he left the Wilson
administration. Mafcy of those with
whom the wish is father to the
thought consider that the McAdoo
candidacy has been killed by the
statement.
Not so with the McAdoo support
ers, who feel confident the average
American citizen can distinguish be
tween a fee given while a public of
ficial is in a position of responsi
bility, and a fee given for legal serv
ices when a former official has gone
back to his professlion.
Mr. McAdoo has j asked for a
chance to testify, atjd, in all proba
bility, will have some caustic things
to say about the critics who have
been so ready to drag him into a
controversy in which he feels he
had no part. He had no connection,
he insists, with the oil leases, giv
ing his legal advice on Mexican
matters.
May Be Beneficial Boomerang
The incident may prove a boom
erang in favor of McAdoo, who al
ways has exhibited a resiliency in
politics. Again and again, he has
seemed to be disqualified by one
circumstance or another, but the.
McAdoo followers have some of the
faithful crusading spirit which they,
gave Woodrow Wilson; they will
not quit him because of the unveri
fied statement of a man who de
perted the Democratic party in 1920
and contributed to the Republican
campaign fund, and whose leases
have been annulled, largely througn
the efforts of Democratic members
of the United States senate.
The Teapot Dome scandal has,
for the moment, been crowded off
the stage by the halt of public ac
tivities incident to the death of
Woodrow Wilson.
Mr. McAdoo is coming here to at
tend the funeral ceremonies, after
which he will go before the senate
, committee and face his critics as
• boldly as he has in the past.
order in which the burial service
would be shared. While the printed
service, prepared that the company
in the chapel gathered to do honor
to the dead might share in the ex
ercises, followed the Episcopal ritual
in a measure, participation by the
clergymen of Mr. Wilson's own faith
in its ministry gave a touch of non
sectarianism to the ceremony that
could only serve to emphasize its
simplicity.
Radio Relays Services
To those outside the small chapel,
i grouped back under the leafless
trees of the cathedral grounds or
out beyond in the nearby streets
and avenues, provision had been
made to carry the service with am-
I plifiers. To a host of listeners far
: and wide the radio waves were set
Ito carry the solemn words and
I blended chords of the choir.
And there was nothing more to
; this funeral of a very great, man in
history than that which even those
highly placed might see or hear. His
actual entombment was reserved for
the eyes of his own loved ones alone
and the president and his cabinet
and the generals and admirals and
all the diplomats had no 'part in
that. Their tributes ended with the
benediction and the family alone
would see the last solemn moment
when the casket in which lies the
worn body of Woodrow Wilson was
lifted down to its place in the vault
to wait peacefully until men shall
decide upon a fitting work of carved
stone to mark his resting place as
that of a servant of the nation,
faithful to the death.
Harding Funeral Recalled
Three times in less than three
years the national capital has been
called to witness the solemn cere
monial attending the funeral rites
of men to-wliotn the nation would
pay the highest honors at its com
i mand. First hi that succession came
i the funeral of America’s Unknown
I Soldier. There was more of pride
i than sorrow .n that mighty butpuor
' ing of American gratitude and patri
otic devotion about the bier of a
, humble, nameless son who was glo
| rifled because he died for the. flag,
i It was a glorious spectacle that sur
! rounded his entombment.
Profound sorrow marked the fu-
• neral of President Harding. He also
■ had been struck down in the full
j tide of his service to the flag and
I men mourned his untimely death.
i Again, but with utterly different
[ note underlying, the military and
I civil pageantry of fullest national
; honors was mustered; again the
i broad avenue over which flows
! America's tides of feeling in hours
■ of victory or rational sorrow brim
'•med .full with ordered ranks of
armed men and again under the
great dome of th® capitol solemn
service for the dead was rendered.

“It is not evidence,” he said, "be
j cause the law does not permit either
the plaintiff or the defendant to tes
tify; you must consider them as
merely establishing the points at is

Judge Sibley said the burden of
proof was on the plaintiff, as she
had to show the contract, damages,
extent to which she had been dam
aged and, "as developed during the
trial, she must prove her capacity
to make such a contract.” He in
structed the jury that the defendant
admitted making the. marriage con
tract, admitted breaching it, but de
nied the damages.
“The amendment raises the QWtes
tion of a plaintiff’s capacity to en
ter a contract of matrimony. It
questions whether her engagement
I ia legal or whether it is a contract
to commit adultery, whether it is
unlawful or whether it is immoral.
The court will not deal with any il

Case Hinges on Divorce
The judge declared that' in order
for Mrs. Deßouchel to make a legal
contract to marry Mr. Candler she
must have been able to marry him.
“But if the contention set out in
this amendment is correct she could
not,” he said.
“The question for you, gentle-
I men, to decide is whether she was
• I married at the time of the contract.
| The answer to the question depends
; upon the validity of the d’vorce
• decree,” he told the jury.
j He then outlined some points by
; which the jury could determine the
I validity of the divorce decree. "If
i she was domiciled in Nevada her
I divorce was valid,” he said. “If not
i the divorce was not valid."
“In that connection, the question
I is whether she was domiciled in that
' state or not? That is the issue in-
I volved.’
He then explained the law rela
( tive to residence and domicile, de-
I fining the difference between a per
manent residence, an indefinite resi-
I dence and a sojoun. ♦
I “If she intended to leave as soon
I as her divorce was granted, het
j decree is not valid and the divorce
'will lot be recognized in that state
or any other,” he told the jury. “On
the other hand, if her intention was
bona, fide, then her divorce was
valid.”
He cautioned the jury to deter
mine Mrs. Deßouchel’s real purpose
and i uention in going to Reno.

Shooting of Priest
On Bridgeport Street
Has Police Baffled
BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Feb. 5.
The police were puzzled today in at
tempting to trace the slayer of the
Rev. Hubert F. Dahme, pastor of
St. Joseph’s German Catholic
church, and to find a motive for the
crime. Father Dahme was shot
through the head early last evening
as he was walking along Main street.
The slayer had been walking with
the priest, according to the meagre
evidence obtainable. Father Dahme
was. returning from a sick call. He
died in the hospital two hours later
without recovering consciousness.
The shooting occurred within a
stone’s throw of the Lyric theater,
in front of which a crowd was gath
ered, and about four blocks from the
ctiurch and rectory. None of the
theater crowd or others on the
street, with the exception of two
