SIMPSON Washington, Mar. 11.—()—William Howard Taft received today the high honors which a grateful nation re- serves for those who have reached the loftiest pinnacles of its service. It was his own day in the heart of @ great people that esteemed him for his statesmanship and loved him for his humanity and to whose welfare all the years of his manhood were given. From dawn until the sun dipped above the calm hills of Arlington na- tional cemetery, where it was his wish to sleep for all eternity, every pulse of the government beat in rhythm to the tribute heaped upon his memory. At the last, it was left to the thun- der of guns and the soft notes of the bugle, chanting a soldierly requiem to a fallen commander, to voice the message that Taft of Ohio had laid him down to his long rest where only those who in life served the flag faithfully and well may gather in the fellowship of death.

Yet, because of | the heights of public place he had | known, and because, too, of the al- most unbroken service to the nation that was his life work, no encomium ‘was too great for him in death. |The affairs of the nation were put | ; aside to do ‘him honor. The business | (of government.’.stood at pause; at |pause in the white house he had ; known intimately as president and |cabinet officer, in the high court where his last public service was giv- en, in the halls of congress. Led by another president, a man whose name was unknown when President Taft shouldered the heavy responsibilities of his greatest office ; @ little more than a score of years ago, Americans great and small turned from everyday affairs to pay respectful homage at the bier of the dead Ohioan.

The telegram, to which Legge re- plied, inquired what would be the basis upon which the board would put wheat after the congestion at the terminals was relieved. “This refers to a situation that is not in the picture at the present time, as there is no possible hope |for relief in this matter during the next 60 days at least,” Legge’s let- ter said. “The tendency seems for the congestion to become worse in- stead of better.” 4 He urged that farmers arrange to curtail their acreage. “The present operations of the sta- bilization corporation will undoubt- edly result in their having upward of 100,000,000 bushels of wheat on hand at the close of this present sea- son,” he said, “and if farmers are going ahead trying to produce an additional surplus on the basis that some way will be found to take care of it on a fair price lever another year, they are going to be mis- taken.” Governor Shafer made no com- ment on Mr. Legge’s reply this af- ternoon.

Cavalry Fronts Home Two troops of cavalry from the third regiment of Fort Myer drew up at attention before the Taft home at 8:48 a. m. Behind it came the caisson pre- ceded by the colors of the United Rees, of the regiment and of the Pp. The dun colored cavalry horses were perfectly matched. The black caisson was drawn by white artillery horses with red saddle blankets. The two troops filled the half block in front of the home. The cavalrymen back against the far side of the curb, drew their sa- bres to present, waiting the appear- ance of the casket from the home. In front of them were the artillerymen. At 8:56 the military pallbearers, eight enlisted men of the army, navy and marines entered the front door of the home. By this time the drizzle had slack- ened. A crowd of perhaps 500 per- sons lined the street. Two minutes later, while a bugle called, the casket was borne slowly down the steps to the caisson, while (Continued on page nine.) ~ HOOVER COMMISSION "AND BORNO DISAGREE Cap Haitien, Haiti, Mar. 11—@)— Open conflict developed today be- tween the Hoover commission investi- Borno, president of the island re-
