For this honor he was eligible through his having held the post of Secretary of War, as well as through his having served as Com- mander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy as President. He is the first President to_be buried at the National Cemetery. The place of interment was chosen yesterday by Mrs: Taft and their three children, Mrs. Helen Taft Manning and Charles P. and Robert A. Taft. Slip- ping quietly away from the Wyoming avenue home, they drove to the ceme- tery and selected the burial plot. It lies high upon a wooded hillside | overlooking the broad Potomac River, beyond which the city can be seen with the White House and Capitol, in which Mr. Taft labored with such distinc- tion, plainly visible. The two sons of Mr. Taft joined their mother and sister yesterday, coming on | from Cincinnati as soon as word of their ; father’s death reached them. Mrs.| Manning been in the city almost continuously for several weeks. Many Tributes Received. Throughout the day friends, mes- sages and floral tributes were constantly arriving. President and Mrs. Hoover sent a huge basket of tulips, crocuses and yellow Spring blooms. con- gregation with which Mr. Taft had wor- shiped sent a large basket of lilies. The callers included the socially and officially prominent and members of ¢he diplomatic corps, bringing messages of sorrow from their governments. Mr. Taft died at 5:15 p.m. on Satur- day, peacefully wrapped in unconscious- ness. - For weeks he had been upon the verge of death, amazing his physicians by the vitality which enabled him to combat and occasionally show improve- ment against a complication of diseases any one of which was extremely serious. Death came finally ag a direct result of cerebro arterio sclerosis, a blood clot on the brain, accompanied by hardehing of the arteries. In addition, he had been suffering from a nervous disorder, a bladder ailment and heart trouble. President Hoover was notified at once | and with Mrs. Hoover called imme- diately at the Taft home to extend his condolences to Mrs. Taft. Returning to the White House, he issued a proclamation establishing a 30-day period of official mourning and eulogizing Mr. Taft for “purity of patriotism, a lofty disinterestedness and a devotion to the best interests of the Nation that deserve and will ever com- mand the grateful memory of his countrymen.” MRS: A.

Her three sons were at one time or another all as- sociated with their father in his mining activities. The children are Mrs. E. A. Quintard, Mrs. Walter M. Brodie and Mrs. Francis D. Merchant of Washing- ton, and Mrs. R. S. Wagner of Phila- delphia; Alexander R. Shepherd, jr., of ‘Washington; Grant _ Shepherd of Charleston, 8. C., and John Conness Shepherd of Batopilas, Mexico.

Just a few steps away Was the button-controlled elevator, which saved the former Chief Justice the ef- fort of climbing stairs. The ‘elevator reached all the way to the street level on the side of the house, so that it was unnecessary even to mount the front steps to reach the third floor offices. All the furnishings of the big brick | house were adapted to meet the spe- cial needs of their owner. The visitor to the living room noted the especially wide, low armchairs and settees in which the heavy frame of the noted jurist was wont to rest. All Is Quiet Within. It was into this living room that the ! body of the late Chief Justice was to! be carried today from the bed room | above. All was quiet within and with- out the residence today, but it did not seem to be the stiliness of death. There was & certain peacefulness that swathed the scene, dissipating the mor- gmness which one often associates with leath. Just outside the window of the bed room a large magnolia tree reached ul) with budding limbs almost to the sill. Spring was in the air, and birds flitted and sang in the warm sunshine. But for the pacing in front of two policemen, the arrival every few min- utes of an automobile with sympathetic friends and the frequent appearance at the door of messenger boys bearing telegrams of condolence from all parts of the world, the passerby would have suspected nothing unusual about the place.

Bright sunshine, with a hint of Spring. today flooded an isolated knoll in Arlington Cemetery which will be the %:;g resting place of Willlam Howard Off in the distance across the historic Potomac the Capital of the Nation, with whHich his life was indelibly interwoven, was visible through the bare trees. Only one other grave, that of Robert Todd Lincoln, son of Abraham Lincoln, is in the remote section of the military cemetery which Mrs. Taft and her | children selected for the grave of the former Chief Justice. Covered by a red stone memorial, it is about 75 yards farther up the hill and across the ter- raced Custis walk which winds down from the old home of Robert E. Lee. Except for that one grave, only the gentle, sloping hills, the swaying cedars and the ancient oaks will stand sentry for the present over the body of the distinguished American. The state funeral cortege escorting the body of the former Chief Justice will pass slowly through the entire length of the cemetery by the graves of the many who have died for their country. The tomb of the Unknown Soldier is to the right of the roadway, several hundred yards distant. The roadway itself is named in honor of Sheridan, and not far from where Taft will lie is the cemetery gate named in honor of the Civil War general. Back from the road a few feet is the site of the grave. Behind it is a thick woods. But at the wood-line four oaks form a small oval less 20 feet in diameter and this will frame the resting place and the memorial to be erccted later. Directly in front of the oval, 20 | yards away, one of the most beautiful trees in the section—an old spreading oak—throws out its branches almost over the grave. 104, MANY OF THEM CHILDREN, PERISH IN JAPANESE BLAZE (Continued From First Page.) designated Army day.

It will climax w large sea and alr exposition at Uyeno Park, Tokio. ‘These enterprises are designated to re- kindle in some degree the patriotic fervor that burned in the national spirit during the conflict of 25 years ago, winning for Japan a place among the great powers and establishing her firmly on the continent of Asia. There, as a result of that war, she rolled back the advance of imperial Russia, ultimately obtained complete possession of Korea and entrenched her- self as the dominant influence in South Manchuria through the railway and other concessions she compelled the Czar to relinquish to her. Battle Is Re-enacted. Recent months already have wit- nessed several twenty-fifth anniversary celebrations of the Russo-Japanese War. The grand maneuvers of the Japanese ! navy last Autumn were held in the narrow seas between Korea and Japan where Togo waited for and smashed the Russians, and the defending fleet was set the same problem as that confront- ing Togo in 1905-—the defense of the Tsushima Straits against an enemy try- ing to force a passage from the South. Then there was dedicated recently a great monument on a hill overlooking Chinkai Bay, near the tip of Korea, where the Japanese fleet lay in wait for the oncoming Russians in 1905. The monument is & reproduction of the fire control tower of the flagship Mikasa, set on a steel and concrete plinth, the whole rising 120 feet and affording from the top a sweeping view of the waters where the great battle, the most decisive major conflict of modern times, was | fought.

Mr. Mackenzie, whose talk was re- broadcast on this side of the Atlantic by the National Broadcasting Co., de- clared the conference was “very much alive” and that it was “still a good in- surance risk.” The delegations, he said, had done “invaluable spade work in a quiet way” and from now on “things should move rapidly.” He pointed out that from the British standpoint it is “well night imperative that the conference be concluded before April 14, when their annual budget is presented to Parliament.” Summing up the position as the dele- gates “tackle the real difficult work of the conference,” he listed as concrete results the facts that Great Britain has conceded parity to the United States, | FLOWERS —and We Wire Flowers Everywhere WE HAVE MADE OUR LIFE STUDY the Floral Service at Blackistone’s is Nationally famous.
