Special Dispatch to The Star. BEL ROI, Va., June 8.—~The ques- tion of the birthplace of the late Dr. Walter Reed, American Army sur- geon and bacteriologist, famous for his destruction of the mosquitoes that carried yellow fever germs, and for whom Walter Reed Hospital in Wash- ington, D. C., was named, has been settled. ~ A cabin at this place, long abandoned and rapidly falling into de- cay, is the actual birthplace, accord- ing to authentic sources of informa- tion. The American Enc:rolopedia and other records have held that Dr. Reed was born at Harrisonburg, Va., in the northern part of the State. This community is Gloucester County, which is in the eastern part of Vir- ginia. Priased by Gen. Wood. Dr. Reed’s work in isolating the cause of vellow fever resulted in the saving of more human lives annually than were lost in the Cuban war, ac cording to the late Gen. Leonard Wood, who said: “I know no man who has done so much for humanity as Maj. Reed.” Dr. Reed was born September 13 . while his father, Rev. Lemuel ed, was preaching on the Gloucester circuit bin then was the The ist parsonage. Walter was the among four children. He at- e schools and the Uni- ¢ of Virginia. In 1868 he studied ne and was graduated after one work. He then went to New In 1880 he connected with the Army, becomirg in 1893 assistant sur- geon with the rank of major. Citizens of Gloucester County have placed a sablet on the walls of the courthouse walk as a tribute to Dr. Reed. ROAD BUILDING PROGRAM PLANNED IN WEST MEXICO All Important Centers to Be Con- nected With Central Trunk Line. Correspondence of the Associated Press CULIACAN, Stnaloa, Mexico, May 22.—A program of road building which will connect all important centers with a trunk line to traverse the state of Sinaloa has been agreed on at a con- ference that Gov. Vega held with the mayors of many cities in the state. The first unit will be connection of Culiacan, an interior city with the sea- board at Magatlan, on the west coast, a distance of 150 miles. Other units will be built as rapidly as engineering and financial resources are avafiable The principal items of cost in Sinaloa road building are the numerous bridges needed to span the many rivers trav ersing the coastel plains. The program just announced by Gov. Vega will harmonize with plans being made in Mexico City by influen- tial men and in California and Arizona by representative organizations, with a view of connecting California, Mexico City and Guadalajara with a first- class automobile road. Such a high- way would open motor travel to a po- tentially rich, scenic and climatically pleasant region. At present it is prac- ble to make the journey Nogales, Ariz, southward throughout the tended priv west coast, largely because it is impossible to ford the |* streams during the rainy season. HERRIOfT;fiAN OF;’EACE, DISLIKED ALL DISPLAY Found It Hard to Assume Military Carriage and Salute as Pre- mier of France. By the Associated Press PARIS, June 8.—Former Premier Herriot is essentially a man of peace and dislikes pomp and dis- play. He he found it hard to assume a military carriage, and when he took over the presidency of the Chamber of Deptites recently he un- derwent several days of special train- ing in order to learn how properly to salute the officer in charge of the platoon of soldiers which lines the corridors from his private residence to the entrance of Parliament. “Why do they change officers every day?” M. Herriot asked the general secretary, Eugene Pierre. “It would be easier to salute correctly an officer whose face I knew.” M. Pierre, 80 years of age, and con- nected with the Chamber's bureau since the days of the second emplirre, replied “Daily changes in officers are made to guard against a possible coup d'etat. It would make the work of conspirators easier if they knew in advance who was designated to com- mand the military forces in the Cham- ber on a given date.” FORM TWO PARTIES.

JAPANESE RATE GARDEN AS BEAUTIFUL PICTURE A il el Look Upon It Much as Occidental Regards Lovely Canvas, Says Architect. By the Associated Press. SEATTLE, June 8.—Japanese look upon a garden as a picture, beauti- fully designed and framed, much as the Occidental looks upon a painting, Prof. Takuma Tono, landscape archi- tect of Waseda University, Japan, told Seattle on a lecture tour of the United States. Prof. Tono is a grad- uate of Cornell University. “Our Japanese gardens are entirely different from gardens in_any other part of the world," Ton> said. “In all western natio: the garden is considered a collection of rare and beautiful plants, flowers, shrubs and trees, rather than the picture for which the Japanese strive. Japanese gardens are more naturalistic than architectural.” SECOND SHEPHERD PANEL LOSES ONE AND GAINS ONE Trial on Charge of Murdering Mil- | lionaire Foster Son, William Mc- Clintock, in Fouth Week.
