Y., will be | held Tuesday at 10 a.m. at the Church of the Epiphany. Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington, will officiate.

Horton, whose Army service began in the Span- ish-American War, and whose deco- rations included those of eight coun-| tries besides his own, was stricken, | apparently with motor aphasia, at| Somerville, N. J., Tuesday. He was| found by State troopers sitting in his | automobile beside the road. He was | said to have been driving home to| Washington after a visit to relatives | in New England. Popular Figure in Capital. Gen. Horton was a popular figure in Washington for many years. He | was a native of the city, born June | 28. 1868. His parents were Maj ‘William E. and Josephine Julia Clarke Horton, the one descended from ‘Thomas Horton, who came to Mass- achusetts from England in the cele- brated Mary and John, and the other from Joseph Clarke, a pioneer settler of Rhode Island. | It was while attending Washington High School that the future general began his military career. Like many other distinguished military men, he was the product of the drill ground of the High School Cadet Corps, serv- ing as captain in his graduating year, 1886. From that date onward he di- vided his time and energy between the sciences of war and law. In the | latter field he won the degrees LL. B. | and LL. M. at Georgetown University, | 1892 and 1893. Meanwhile, he had entered the Dis- trict of Columbia National Guard, in which he held the rank of captain for eight years and of aide de camp to the commanding general for seven. He joined the Regular Army in 1898, during the conflict with Spain, a| struggle in which he participated under Gens. Hawkins, Kent and Shafter and of which his memories included the famous charge up San Juan Hill, which madc Theodore Roosevelt a President of the United States. Two citations for gallantry in action with the Silver Star of the War Department were Gen. Hor- ton’s reward for his work as first lieutenant and adjutant in Cuba. ] Helped Fight Aguinalde. His next campaigns were those of Cavite and against Aguinaldo in the | Philippines, in which he was assist- ant to the chief quartermaster, 1899 and 1900. He was recommended for the Congressional Medal for galiantry in a clash with insurgents at Ta- boatin Bridge, December 3 of the former year. Back in the United States after the guppression of the Malver rising, he decided to continue in the quarter- master service—a choice which, in 1917, brought him the privilege of being chief quartermaster of the ad- vance section of the American Expe- ditionary Force in France and, later, | assistant to the chief quartermaster | of the larger outfit of the period im- | mediately before the armistice. He | was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his share in front line effort and subsequently was made an officer of the Legion of Honor of France and | of the Order of Nichan-el-Anouar, campanion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George of England, com- mander of the Order of Leopold II of Belgium, commander of the Order | of the Crown of Italy, officer of the | Order of Prince Danilo I of Mon- tenegro, officer of La Soliladad of Panama, commander of the Order of | the Crown of Rumania, commander of | the Order of Polonia Restitute of Poland and officer of the Order of the ‘White Eagle of Serbia. Promoted to colonel in the Regular Army in 1920, Gen. Horton received | his culminating appointment as briga- dier general in 1927. In the interim | he was quartermaster of the New | England area for four years and as- | sistant quartermaster general here for three, On several occasions‘he was in charge of operations involving a per- | sonnel of 30,000 men, and construction projects which he directed totaled an expenditure of $50,000,000. In 1928 he had control of all matters per- taining to Arlington National Ceme- tery, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the renovation of the Custis Man- sion. He was retired at his own re- quest, February 1, 1929, and imme- diately resumed the practice of law, maintaining offices in the Munsey Bullding. But he also employed the leisure of release from active duty in pa-' LUCKY | the Colonial D. C’s First Eight-month-old Reita Sue Showalter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.

In ex- planation of his bachelorhood, he once declared: “All the ladies are so charm- ing, I never have been able to make up my mind to prefer one to all the others.” He found frank and boyish enjoyment in the zeal with which friends sought his help for parties and benefits of every kind, and somehow managed the miracle of assisting ITALIAN RESTAURANT 1208 18th St N.W. at Conn.
