Washington. Feb. 7. —Wrapped in the glory of h-ath. Woodrow Wilson has found sa&fttuary under the towering arches of the Washington cathedral. He was laid to eternal rest in the silent vault with only the solemn, simple rites of re ligious service, as was his wish, often spoken to the widow. Before Mrs. Wilson, still is the task of deciding where the final resting place of her husband will be. For months prob ably he will lie in the vault to which be was committed yesterday, but a greater memorial some day will be reared to him r S. ffep; Hmqr. »e vrh i r-\* tr. T %» beUl, him. The dead war President had given thought to the place where he will rest in death and it will be within the Dis trict of Columbia. That already has been decided by Mrs. Wilson, in accord ance with his wish, although the place where the tomb will be erected is still to be selected. Above the vault where the casket lies the cathedral structure has reached a point in building where the transepts north and south are next to be con structed. The north transept by tradi tion in England and the United States is the transept of statesmen where those may lie who gave great service to their countrymen in the civil walks of nation al life. Plans have been formed for the building of an adequate memorial to Woodrow Wilson in that transept of the cathedral beneath which -he now lies. It would be placed just where the massive northern wall of the nave and western bulk of the transept join. As the plan now runs the tomb would be built into the wall of the cathedral itself, and the casket so tenderly placed in the chapel vault would be sealed within its stone enclosure forever. Within the transept on the main floor a fitting memorial would be set in the inner face of the tomb. ’ Mrs. Wilson has not yet assented to this plan. Taft Ordered to Take Complete Rest. .Washington, Feb. 7. —Chief Justice rr hft, who suffered an attack of indiges tion yesterday and has been ordered by his physician to take a complete rest for a few days, was said at his residence this morning to be much improved.

FALL ABANDONED TODAY i i This Decision Was Reached | Today on the Advice of Special Counsel in Case, I Strawn and Pomerene. f j MOTION mDE BY SENATOR WALSH Counsel Recommended Against Permitting Fall to Testily Unless He Would Waive Immunity. Washington. F<h. 7.— Furftier efforts to qufvitic.fi Albert B. Fall, central figure in the Senate oil investigations, were abandoned today by the oil commit I ee.

They recommended against permitting Mr. Fall to testify unless he waived immunity. v After considering the recommendation of the counsel for an hour the commit tee adopted this motion by Senator Walsh, democrat, of Montana : “The witness*. Albert B. Fall, having refused to answer any questions that might be put to him touching the mat ters under investigation by the com mittee on the ground that his evidence might tend to incriminate him. and the committee being advised by counsel that the statute providing that a witness should not be excused front testifying before a Congressional committee on such grounds being less broad in its scope than the constitutional guarantee, so that proceedings for contempt or by in dictment against the witness for con tumacy would probably fail, and that if the witness proceeded to testify before the committee under protest he might gain immunity from prosecution, and the committee being advised by the attorney for the witness that his purpose to stand on his constitutional rights is irrevee able. 1 move that the subpoena issued for the witness, Albert B. Fall, be va cated and that he be released from fur ther attendance on the committee.” aOHR-Vy 'amount Paid m»adoo Was g1.7a.000 Instead of $250,000 Width He Recently Estimated. Washington.

Feb. 7.—The airship Shenandoah, on the United States navy’s expedition to the North Pole next summer, wi’l not find tempera tures ns low as those this winter on the Atlantic seaboard, is tlie belief of M- B. Summers, weather observer here, who established the government meterological station at Point Barrow, where Alaska juts farthest north into the Aretie Ocean- Mr. Summers was transferred to Seattle from Juneau. Alaska, several months ago. Mr. Summers said that the coldest June day recorded at Point Barrow, which is 1,117 miles from the pole, was 12 degrees above zero and the eo’dest .July day 20 above. The range last june was from 23 degrees above to 56 above. In this mouth only two days were classified as clear. The Shenandoah is more likely to en counter rain than snow, in the opinion of Mr. Summers. “Toward the PoV it will naturally toe colder than at Bar row,” he said, “considerably so, if there is no large body of land between Alaska and the pole. If there is an Arctic continent or a large island, radiation from the sun’s rays wil* make it warmer and more nearly the tempera ture of Barrow. But in any event I do fiqt believe that there will be zero temperatures at the pole in July or late June.” i From an unknown party ;n the far West Mrs. William Badger of West Quincv, Mass., has received a remit tance'of $20.68, with a note explana tion that it was in payment of a debt of $5 borrowed by the sender from her husband sixty years ago.
