START PAVING ROAD AT BERNE Necessary To .Make Another Survey, However, Before Work Can Proceed Berne, Ind., Aug. 8. —(Special To Daily Democrat) —Work on construe tlon of file half mile of concrete road Iby the state, connecting the brick street in tills city with the mile and , half of concrete county road west ot town was started yesterday anil it is promised that it will be completed by the end of th? month. The road is to be twenty six feet wide, the proper ty owners and two dividing equally the cost of eight feet, while the state is building eighteen feet. The survey made by the state en gineer was from the center of the bi'.ck street to the center of the concrete and overlooked a slight curve in the street. When work was started yesterday it was discovered that this would destroy the row of wonderful shade trees on the south side ot the street. Arrangements to secure an injunction were made, but the state men declared this unnecessary as the state had no desire to injure the properties and sent for a new engineer who will make the survey ano change tile route to conform with the curve. It is beligved the trouble over the temporary bridge in Jay county will be adjudicated and that within a few weeks the work will be resumed. When the trouble arose the tools were rushed to Knox county as there is a great demand and the state can not afford to lose time. It is ex pected the matter will be adjustei. within a week or two and tlie tools from Eaton, in Deleware county, will be sent to Jay county and the work on the north and south highway resumed. YOUNG FORGER . fiRRESTEOHERE

Lloyd Biberstein Arrested Here Following Chase From Bluffton I Lloyd Biberstein. 18, son of Adam Biberstein, who resides three and one ! half miles southwest of Berne, was [arrested by Sheriff John Baker and Chief of police Joel Reynolds, when he alighted from an eastbound passen ger train on the Nickle Plate (Clover leaf) railroad in this city yesterday afternoon, and held until officers from Bluffton arrived, who returned him to that city to face a charge of forgery. Biberstein is charged witli forging a check on tlie Maier Hide & Fur com pany at a meat market in Bluffton, for $13.20. Yeung B.berstein lias been working lat a lumber yard in this city and rooming at the Charles Burrell home,' 716 Walnut street. Yesterday morn | ing he stopped at the local office of tlie Maier Hide & Fur company in the west pari of the 'city, and asked to | use the telephone. The company’s I check book was lying on a desk be I I side the telephone and Biberstein said 1 he tore a check from the book. It was stated at the office that two che< ks were missing from the book. After obtaining the check, Biber stein said he boarded a freight train for Bluffton. When he reached that city he went to the Frank Hubnet meat market and asked for a nickle’s wort 11 of meat. He presented the check in payment. The check was made payable to Lloyd Hunter anu signed by Clarence Fisher. The i heck also bore the company’s stamped signature. Tlie check was writ ten on the Old Adams County bank, of this city. Shuman Chalfant, a clerk in the meat market, cashed the check. Shortly after Biberstein left the shop, Chalfant discovered that he had made a mistake and given the youth only $11.95 cents in change instead of $13.15. Biberstein had stood and counted the change before walking out, and therefore Chalfant at once became suspicious. He reported the affair to the chief of ponce Henry Gehrett. It was learned by the chief of ponce that a youth answering the descrip tion of Biberstein had boarded an eastbound Cloverleaf freight train. Chief Gehrett, Sheriff, Noah Frauhlgei hie deputy and Mr. Chalfant started east to catch the freight train. At Craigville they learned that Biberstein had left the freight and boarded the passenger train. The officers telephoned Chief, Reynolds in this city and Mr. Reynolds and Sheriff Baker ' hastened to the Cloverleaf station.

Thousands View Remains (Continued from page one) Tlie faces of President CooUdge, Chief Justice Tuft and other official* were strikingly pale and the President looked drawn. Alter tile long rows of waiting citizens have passed by the body of tile president tile casket will be placed on the funeral train at 6 o'clock (tonight for the final 'journey to Marlon, Ohio. Washington, Aug. B—Washington I today raid farewell to Warren G. Harding. With due solemnity and with the military anil civic display befitting ills office, tlie body of tlie president was tarried from tin- Wliite Housi to the capitol and placed beneath the dome on the catafalque of Lincoln Garfield and McKinley. There, in tlie presence of the nation's greatest man the- rites were observed. Then the l bronze doors swung open and an endless column of people be gin filing past the casket, walking four abreast, paying their last tribute. Shortly before 10 o’clock, the broad boulevard was packed from end to end by a throng which pressed against tlie steel wirp? barricades (Until it seemed as if they would give away. “Silence” was tlie order of the day. from headquarters—were uttered in Police commands —under instructions subdued voices. People conversed ir. whispers. It was a startling contrast to the animated scenes which arc customary along this route of great I recessions. Meanwhile at the* White Housd anc in the streets leading to it, the rep res< ntatives of America's army, navy courts and congress were assembling There was the shuf-shuf of marchiii: feet, the clatter of accoutrements the rumble of artillary wagons—whis ties and shouts of command. Presi dent Coolidge was escorted to the start of the procession by a squadron of cavalry. Stern-looking diplomats, envoys o all the nations which have relation with the United States, sat in theii automobiles, waiting for the cortege to start. War veterans —old and young—formed ranks. Famous me: were to lie seen on every hand. Wood row Wilson, William Howard Taft General Pershing. Speaker of the House Gillett, and many others, whil, aides hurried up and down organizini the line of march. Soon a stir ran through the crowd, which, masses along Pennsylvania avenue, formed human walls for the pagent of death. All eyes were turn. ed toward that end of the boulevard where the head of the column, would first come into view. Minute guns began booming. • Drums Beat Dirge Then, the distant, slow thump o the drums, beating the slow cadence of the dirge, was faintly heard. Next the wailing notes of the dead march The leaders of the processiot wheeled around the corner of the treasury building. First came Genet al Pershing as commander-in-chief followed by an army band and th military guard of 8,000 troops. Thee marched with slow measured tread. Afterwards came the civic proces sion and in the midst of it the objec upon which all eyes centered, th thing to which the heart of the natior went out —a flag shrouded casket, up on a jet-black gun cassion, drawn b. jet-black horses, with generals, admirals, cabinet members, senators and representatives pacing slowly behind it, their heads bowed. Ovr this same route, President Harding walked behind the body ot tlie Unknown Soldier, drawn on a caisson, nearly two years ago, at the start of what many regarded the supreme achievement of his adminis tration, the world arms conference. Five Bands in March Rank after rank of soldiers, sailors, and marines swept past. Five bands kept up the steady rhythm of the lament, and in the occasional pauses there was the music of rumbling wheels, the tread of thousands ot feet, the rattle of sabres, the clatter of hoofs, the sullen boom of the minguns. It was a mighty and awe-inspiring spectacle as the military might and the statesmanship ot America passed in review; filling the avenue from end to end with a river of humanity, the center of which was the rumbling caisson and its honored burden. All officers wore black arm bands and crepe on their sabers. The troops in the column were as follows: First battalion, 13th Engineers and band. Twelfth infantry and band. U. S. Marine band. Fifth regiment of marines. Navy band. Composite regiment, U. S. navy. D. C. National guard battalion. First battalion, Sixth field artillery. Second squadron, Third artillery.

Behind came Mrs. Harding, the most pathetic figure of tlie procession. The president of the United States.! Calvin Coolidge, so suddenly called for high responsibility by the death of his chief, tame next in line. Behind nme Chief Justice Taft, a former president. Woodrow Wilson in Line A flutter of excitement and then a hush fell over the almost silent throng is the next vehicle passed, it bore Woodrow Wilson, former president, | spared to life, but crushed by the burdens of office as was his successor. | Beside him rode his faithful friend and physician. Admiral Cary T. Grayson. Next came the grave justices of he supreme court, the ambassadors if foreign nations, adding their tribute, senators and representatives ind governors of states and territores, the commissioners of the Dis- ( trict of Columbia and the acting sec■etaries of the executive departments. The chiefs and representatives of the independent branches and bu•eaus of the government and mem>ers of the federal judiciary followed. Behind them marched tlie medal of| Aonor men, the gray beards of the | Grand Army of the Republic, in fading suits of blue, their former foes and now their steadfast friends, the veterans who followed Lee and Jackson. , The old boys who fought the Indians with Miles and other pioneers of the west, the boys of '9B. who charged up, San Juan hill with Colonel Theodore Roosevelt had the next place in line. War Veterans Follow The patriotic military organizations which sprang from the world war —I Military Order of Foreign Wars. Vet-1 trans of Foreign Wars, Military Drier of the World War, Disabled Amercan Veterans. American Legion, and World War Veterans —marched belind their elders in arms.
