In a Bpeclal train bearing the body of Mrs Wilson to its final resting place beside the graves of her father and mother, he was on the way to Rome, Ga., with his daughters and a few members of his own and his wife's families. The last simple ceremony of the funeral will take place tomorrow af ternoon In the quiet wooded cemetery of the Georgia town. Then the presl. dent will turn again to the burdens of his office and the loneliness of the white house. At Half Mast. ' While flags drooped at half mast throughout the capital today and thousands gathered in the wide ave nue before the closed gates of the white house grounds the first service ?#|y^itta*?l^ in. thereast room. ' Th? flags, the crowds. ! the closing ot the government depart ments in the afternoon and the masses of flowers which overflowed the east room, were the nation's only way of expressing its sympathy.

As the party drew up before the sUte entra?es of tho station, a vio lent thundershower began. Within the station a orowd had gathered that taxed the great structure to its limits. Outside thousands more braved the drenching rain, to stand in silent sympathy. Passing through a lane walled by humanity, the casket was carried to the waiting train. On lt rested a single wi oath, the "sst gift of tho president and his daughters. . Close behind walked the president with a secret service agent beside him. Then followed his companions waikinc three abreast At the train they halted as thv. casket waa carried h>to> the car, and stood tn silence afterward until the president'? three daughters and his sons-in-law arrived.
