PREVEATOL) MAKES A C HOME «— BURROUGHS BURIED WITH PLAIN RITES =u-am |Great Naturalist Laid to Rest Exactly Eight-Four Years From Birth Date. By the Associated Press. ROXBURY, N. Y. April 4—John Burroughs was laid to rest yesterday afternoon on the mountainside where he was born exactly eighty-four years ago. From the peaks and the val- leys of his beloved Catskill mountains came hundreds of neighbors to pay him their final honors. Others from far-off corners of the nation joined them at the grave of the great natur- alist. | All morning long and in the early afternoon the slope down the two miles of Rocky mountain to Roxbury was dotted with groups of villagers trudging upward to the burial spot. Back of the grave, which was blast- ed from solid rock, and rising high to one tip of the mountain which bears his name was the clump of woods where Mr. Burroughs hunted the fox and observed the birds during his vouth and old age. To the right. over a little knoll, the weather-blackened house in which he was born could be seen. Behind the grave a great boulder on which Burroughs played as a boy and often sat in the twilight {shadows as a man of the wide out- ldoors formed the slab of his resting |place. Soon a bronze plaque will be imbedded ig the stone to immortalize its significance. Down the slope a few ‘yards stood {Woodchuck Lodge. Burroughs' sum- {mer home, where he did much of his {writing and where he occasionally be- | came host to his close friends, Thomas {A. Edison, Henry Ford and Harvey S. Firestone. They stood beside the grave yesterday, and when the cere- mony was ended paid a visit to the “lodge.” The burial service was simple. There were a few short prayers, fol- lowed by the recitation of poems, after which the casket was lowered into the grave. ROAD TO ANNAPOLIS WAITS FOR NEW BIDS Distance to Maryland Capital Will Be Reduced About Fifteen Miles. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, April 4.—Although the State roads commission has taken over the defense highway from Washington to Anapolis, no work will be started on it until new. bids are received April 12. The bids sub- mitted were all rejected be- cause they were _considered too high. The defense highway, which is twenty-five miles long, will be al- most a direct route from Washington to Annapolis and will reduce the dis- tance about fifteen miles, leading into the District south of Bladensburg, just above the boundary line of the District of Columbia. The commission will also open bids in the next ten days for improving four miles of road from Owings to Chesapeake Beach, three miles at Sligo, Coatsville pike; three miles, Rockville to Huntington Hill, and three miles, Gaithersburg to Mun- cator Mill. Improvement of the roads in Prince Georges county on which bids have been asked will consist of two miles on the Oxen Hill road, two miles Clinton to Piscataway; 1 mile, T B to Brahdywine; one mile at Mount Rai- nier, and one mile at Laurel. Work on the defense highway and the lateral roads will start at once if the bids are satisfactory, and Chairman Backall said he saw no reason why the bids should not come v:flhln the limits set by the commis- sion. In commenting on the cost of road work Chairman Mackall, declared that though the price of labor had dropped in some instances, workmen as a rule were loath to give up war- time wages. The commission is pay- ing 20 cents an hour for labor in southern Maryland and 25 cents in other parts of the state. The com- mission has just closed a contract with the Maryland penitentiary of- ficials for convict labor on road work at $2 a day, but Chairman Mackall said he preferred outside labor if he could get it at the figure set by the commission—$2.25 a day for nine hours’ work. The average of the bids submitted on road work last week was about $35,000 a mile, as against $37,000 average in bids the week before, one contracting firm offering to do the work as low as $30,000 a mile, while the highest bid was $49,000 a mile. SEEKS RUSSIAN TRADE. Italy About to Enter Into Commer- cial Agreement. ROME, April 2. — Announcement was made in the senate today by Count _Sforza, the foreign minister, that the government hoped soon to sign a commereial agreement with Russia, but it was intended, he added, to see that the clause prohibiting po- litical propaganda was strictly ob- served. He believed it impossible to restore normal conditions in Europe while Russia is ingnored. AGREE ON RAIL QUESTION. International Communications Con- ference Adopts Exchange Measure. BARCELONA, April 2.—The Inter- national Communications Conference, in session here today. adopted article 3 of the railroad convention, by which the signatory powers agree to recognize the adoption of measures providing for the interchange of rolling stock. Reservations were made by the Spanish delegation because of the fact that the gauge of Spanish rail- ways is sixty-six inches, while that of other countries is ten inches less. —_— The Chinese, of all peoples, attach most importance to etiquette, their Book of Rites dating back to the first century before the Christian era. i i Confidence by Care and Consideration So expert and skiliful have com- petent dentists become these days, that it is a real pleasure and a sort of “rest vacation” to visit them.
