Memorial to Admiral Is Unveiled at Washington

WHITE LAID TO REST IN WASHINGTON Honors Rendered Doubly Impressive by Simplicity President and Mrs. Harding Attend Capital Mourns. BUSINESS SUSPENDED

BIG STRAIN IS TELLING ON LEADERS Harding Shows Effects of Grueling Problems Hoover Looks Tired Hughes Fatigued All Press On. PHYSIQUEIMPORTANT BY MARK UMVA WASHINGTON. D. C. May 21 Both for thotve who try to understand a complex thing, and those why try to make it clear, there are various de--oes for simplicity of these, one of (he most frequently useful is to picture a situation in terms of the men who figure in it. , It is a part of that philosophy which ays that what will come oat of any situation will always be whatever is ihe net resultant of the pulling and hauling of the strong men in it, and ihat the whole tangle of the world altogether comes down to strong men eelcing their own ends in their own ways, sometimes at cross purposes, fometimes in co-opera.'. ion. Such a picture of Washington begins of course with Harding. His tlominant trait and purpose continue to 1-0 as in the beginning harmony, good fueling- and "back to normalcy." But everybody has learned by this time that while to Harding harmoy means extreme consideration for the rights r.nd feelings of others. It is as far as rossible from meaning willingness to abandon h;s own purposes, nor easygoing compromise. Harding will squirm rnd Fhrink from doirg or saying a disagreeable thing. He will show obvi-

ms discomfort in his resistance to! hose who want him to do what his r.-wn judgment does not endorse. Follows Own Ends. H will po to any length to leave a jrocd tastf in the mouth of one who is recessarily disapnointed at the end of a transaction with Mm but in the (r6 Harding follows his on ends as .-tcadily and surely as any public man in Washington. It is a striking fact that this president who was 1o b the "creature of a sensational oligarchy" has given the j.n!te in his soft-speech way. more rebuke. than it has ever had from any j resident in the same length of lime. Handing has his own program about our foreign relations and bis own determination to support the secretary of state, who Is his own choice. That program goes forward slowly and rteadily and in the judgment of all except a very few, satisfactorily. The. -strongest group of men in Washington, i the narrow sense of retolute men determined upon their own purposes. Is the ' -concilables of the senate. Whether you like the fight they have made or not. the fact is they won it by sheer determination ind the willingness to stake their own political existences on the outcome. For the present the irreconcilables are not as dissatisfied as many reports imply. In the rejection of the League of Nations they won a 100 per cent victory and the slow and gradual building of our new bridge to Europe is not likely to revive the organized opposition of the past two years. Hoover is Titan By most ways of judging Hoover is the biggest man in Washington. His

engineering training, his business ex-, yeriencc, and the quality of his mind, give him the kind of grasp on the uuier?e that a small town grocer has on his own businei3. ; If the country ever determines to lure a general manager and leave everything to hiiu there would be no other candidate in Hoover's class. Of politics Hoover knows nothing whatever. He works out a plan and then f'nds that for political reasons or for personal reasons it can't be made to work, and abandons it in the spirit in which he would yield to an insuperable obstacle in an engineering problem. The picture that most of us in Washington have, is of Hoover and Hughes united in furnishing Harding 'vith guidance on our foreign affairs. V'or the purposes of those European problems which are most immediate these two are the big men of the cabinet. Confidence Increases Some of the irreconcilable senators are suspicious of Hoover and Hughes as not having shared the irreconcilable attitude toward the League of Nations. But this suspicion is a decreasing quantity. And every indication promises a smooth working out of our foreign problems by Harding and his advisor. Hoover works to hard. He plunger into work in the spirit of headlong self-forget fulness with which some men go into dissipation. Just lately liere has been some concern about Hoover's health and his friends have been engaged in an effort to remind him that he is too big an asset to the country and the world to bs imperiled by neglect. Hoover, even at l is best, always looks a little tired. Kcyness. in his book on the peace conference, spoke of rtoover as "Looking like a tired Titan." Hughes Shows Strain. Hughes also shows the strain a little. When Hughes camn to Washington on the 4th of March he had the fpirit of galloping into his new duties. He still works hard, but there is ouough diminution of his exuberent vitality to be noticeable and to give concern o those who realize .how much rests on him. Harding also is a little tired. When vou watch him at one of those- big receptions shaking hands with long lines of visitors, you can notice his tired personality, grasping at even that few Beconds of rest which his tired features can get between shaking hands with one man and beaming on the next. If the writer seems to lay unusual emphasis on the mere element of fatigue in public men. i is because anyone who reported the peace confer(Continuqrl on Page Eleven.)

Hardware Makers Join Protest Against Existing Freight Rates

PAILADH M XEAVS HI RE V U WASHINGTON. May 21. The American Hardware Manufacturers' association, one of the most substantial of American industrial organizations, has joined Its voice In the vigorous protests being made to congress against existing freight rates. The hardware manufacturers complain of transportation costs both by rail and water. The association states that American industry is severely handicapped in the effort to attain a re-adjustment of economic conditions through the "serious interference "In transportation both by rail and water." The further statement is made that a reduction of freight rates is of vital necessity to American industry. A memorandum of freight rates compiled by B. F. Welty, former member of congress from Ohio, on information furnished by the Interstate Commerce commission and the United SENTIMENT GROWING FOR DISARMAMENT !N JAPAN, SAYS REPORT (By Associated Press) TOKIO, May 21. People of Japan have shown themselves to be in favor of restriction of armaments, it wardeclared yesterday by Madame Ozaki, wife of Yukio Owaki, leader in the campaign against militarism in Japan. Her statement was based upon the results of a post card vote taken in cities where M. Ozaki has spoken recently in his campaign against armaments. "The facts are interesting, and I ! think Americans should know about them," said Madame Ozaki. "My husband resumed his lectures recently in J the chief towns in the north of Japan, j speaking in 13 cities in as many days. At each meeting postcards were given out by which his auditors might express their views, and so far, out of 16,000 cards received, ninety-three per cent, are in favor of an arrangement looking to disarmament. Five per cent, were against such an agreement and the rest were uncertain. Votes from the cities of Kanazawa, Toshim-Gowa and Fukui are just coming in and if anything, the results are more conclusive than ever in support of my husband's principles. Peace Society Meets. The new woman's peace society, dedicated to furthering the peace movement, especially by the promotion of an understanding between thd United States and Japan, was held today. Madame Ozaki presided, and Baron Tanetaro, head of the Japanese economic commission to the United States, made an address. Newspapers are continuing their advocacy of an armament agreement, and eminent spokesmen are unofficially urging the wisdom of an agreement between the United States and Japan on national policies. They declare that the two nations should hold a preliminary conference, believing that if an accord is reached concerning the policies to be pursued in the Pacific question the relative naval strength of the two nations can be left to ex perts.

May 21. Two very cordial editorials were included in thi3 morning's newspaper comments on the address made- by George Harvey. United States ambassador to Great Britain, on Thursday night. They were published in the Morning Post, which never favored the league of nations, and the Daily Telegraph. The Post said Prime Minister Lloyd George's assertion that the "future well being of the world depends mainly upon Anglo-American friendship and co-operation" was true, and it continued: "This being so, the league of nations cannot, as we have been told rather frequently, be the only and unique guarantee of the future peace of the world." Referring to Anglo-American relations, the paper declared that nothing in recent years more thoroughly dissipated misunderstanding than President Harding's memorable statement of American policy, to which Mr. Harvery referred during his speech. Hit Own Policy "The British public," the newspaper added, "may wish the policy of the British government was definite and simple as that of America." The Daily Telegraph's comment, which was largely a personal appreciation of Ambassador Harvey, cordially agreed it was "high time to give the quietus to the idea that the United States may yet be beguiled into the league." The Daily News, continuing its championship of the League of Nations, remarked that the English league of nations union had just attained a membership of 100,000, ana said there was no need to take Mr. Harvey's words too tragically." League to Go On. Assuming that the United States will keep out of the league during the term of President Harding, the newspaper said this would be a matter of "grave regret, but it will mean, at the worst, that the league will go on without the United States as it has done hitherto." The News made the point that the whole of America was not ignoring the league, saying that Canada was taking a valuable part in its operations as was virtually all of Latin-America except Mexico. "So long as the nations now members of the league stand loyally by it," the newspaper concluded, "we can afford until the United States is of another mind." MANLOVE WINS SUIT OVER FARM PAYMENTS Judgment in favor of the plaintiff. Thomas A. Manlove, for $2,231.25 was given by a jury in Wayne circuit court Friday night against the defendant Emma F. Mason. Both the principals are from Cambridge City. The jury received their instructions late Friday evening and were out an hour and a half before reaching a verdict. Paul L. Ross acted as foreman. The suit was to recover money which had been overpaid in the settlement between the parties for a farm. The payments had extended over a number of years and had become mixed during that time.

ADVISES CHURCH AID

iBv AnnnrMateil Pj-S WINONA LAKE, Ind.. May 21. The golden rule in daily life is advocated by James J. Davis, secretary of labor, in a message from him read J before the Presbyterian general as-' sembly here today. Secretary Davis had been a.ked for an address bearing en the possibility of the church's aiding in practical solution of the problems of the nation. His message j follows : "No better exposition of the problem that today faces the American people can be found than that outlined in President Harding's speech of acceptance, delivered in Marion on juiy i nis speecn, wnicn every i church paper might reprint, suggests! a solution, a task which the churches of America should make their own. I send it to you. "With a membership of nearly fifty million, our churches today oonstULute the greatest force for good in the world. If this force would help in solving the national problem, the problem of the individual, it must be rrore practically appl'ed. Urges Application. "I should like to ste the teachings of the Master interpreted in the light of modern conditions to both, the employer and 'the worker. Ours must rot be a church of pacifists, but a church of fighters, fearlessly taking a stand for the right. "With both employer and employe sitting before the pulpit, a complete understanding between the two becomes almost a church obligation. Why should not the church help bring this about? Why should not ministers talk to both employer and employe with a view to bringing about a better understanding between tbem? Churches Can Help. "Many ways in which the chrueh can help solve industrial problems will present themselves to our enlightened ministry with thoughtful study of the president's presentation. For Instance, the church might well consider the organization of a national employment bureau, and through its membership ascertain where there is demand for labor, and where the unemployed maybe found. "Let the church preach economic and social justice, economy and thrift. "And above all. let the church teach the practical application of the Golden Rule, not as a millenial theory but as a vital principle for our daily guidance in all the business affairs of today 'Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.' "The practical application of the text is real Christianity. "JAMES J. DAVIS, "Secretary of Labor." Commend Billy Sunday Resolutions commending the evan-! gelistic work of the Rev. William A. j Sunday were adopted today at thej 133rd general assembly of the Pres-' byterian church in the United States following representations made to the commissioners that Rev. Sunday considered that his evangelistic activities had been impunged in a committee report. Action toward union of the five branches of the Presbyterian church was virtually postponed when a report from the committee on church co-operation and union, expressing the sentiment that nothing less than an actual union of the different or ganizations will be acceptable to thej assembly of the Presbyterian church i in the United States, was adopted. Pope Urges Settlement of Irish Question (Bv Associated Press DUN'DALK, Ireland, May 21.

MAY FESTIVAL MAY BE REPEATED IN 1922; CROWDS ATTEND FRIDAY EVENING PROGRAM

Thousands of men, women and children have beaten a path to the Coliseum during the past three days' May Festival, many of them making daily pilgrimages to what proved a mecca for music lovers. Hundreds more participated in the great festival. That thousands may trod anew the same paths next season in pursuit of the same kind of entertainment is predicted bv those knowinr the plans which the Symphony or-j chestra organization is making for the season opening next fall. The dignified and superbly magnificent oratorio, ".The Creation," by Haydn, formed a fitting production! for the grand finale of the festival j Friday evening, surpassing anything that has been attempted. Only by an exacting and intelligent rendition, gained by the most careful training and study by chorus and orchestra, as well as assisting artists, was it possible to put across an oratorio of such an advanced nature to a cosmopolitan audience such as greeted the performers. Artists Win Applause Mme. Elsa Harthan Arendt. soprano; Arthur Kraft, tenor, and Rollin Pease, baritone, were superb in their renditions of the recitatives, winning for themselves round upon round of applause. Madame Arendt combines nersonal beauty- and a rha rm n r nrpcon m with u -rr m rf ' rare sweetness, clearness and flexibility. Her voice was particularly well suited to the rendition of the roles of Gabriel and Eve in the oratorio. Mr. Kraft was convincing in singing of the part of Uriel. He sang with a deliberate and satisfying interpretation, displaying good technique and a tenor voice of excellent timbre. Rolin Pease, in the roles of Raphael in the first part of the oratorio and Adam in the latter part, further demonstrated his versatility and ability, scoring as high in favor with his audience as he did the night before as assisting artist with the Symmphony orchestra. His interpretations of the lines were dramatic despite the strict form of the tonal and metrical structure. His voice possesses great volume and a remarkable range of tone over which he exercises perfect control with ease. Chorus Does Good Work. The choral parts were sung by the Festival chorus of 300 voices with devoices. The work of the orchestra and the festival chorus was the most 40,000,000 BUSHELS OF WHEAT POOLED (By Associated Press FARGO, N. D., May 21.

The northwest wheat growers' association has decided to join the United States growers' organization, Mr. Burdick said. ARMY FUND IS OVER $2,600 MARK, CALVERT Salvation Army funds collected as a result of the county appeal made this week now total more than $2,600. This statement was made by Ernest Calvert, treasurer of the campaign fund, Saturday. Dr. George B. Hunt, chairman of the Salvation Army advisory board in this county, said Saturday afternoon that he expected full returns to place the total over the $3,000 mark. Funds collected in Wayne county outside of Richmond, are for the most part, yet to be turned in. Full returns from all solicitors in this city are also to bo received. Territory which is not canvassed by the advisory board and citizens teams will be covered by the Salvation Army workers later.

pleasing part of the festival. The ensemble performance of the orchestra and chorus was creditable in every way and served to heap more laurels on their conductor and leader. Beginning with the representation of chaos in the introductory part, which preceded the creation the chorus entered into the moods and changes of the work in a convincing manner that carried the audience with it. . Pupils Please Audience One of the largest crowds to attend

any performance of the festival was present Friday afternoon at the second concert given by grade children of the city. Probably the most astonishing performance of the afternoon was the violin solo by Bernice Richards, a prodigy among young violinists of the city, who had studied six months in a violin class and had one year of private lessons. She played Kreisler's "Liebesfreud" with beautiful interpretation and good technique.

N., former commander of the United States naval forces in the war zone who is due in England on the liner Cedric tomorrow to receive a degree of Doctor of Laws from Cambridge university, will be the recipient of more official honors than perhaps were ever extended to an American naval officer in this country. There were very few blank spaces in the program arranged by the admiralty covering the admiral's stay, from May 22 to June 11, and the scores of friends Admiral Sims made during the war, and his friends of yet older days, are in keen competition for opportunities of entertaining the visitor. Received in State Escorted into Liverpool by destroyers on Sunday, Rear Admiral Sims will remain on the Cedric over night. He will be accompanied to London Monday by Captain F. H.

By Associated .Press) , WASHINGTON. May 21: With honors rendered doubly impressive by the simplicity of the ceremony the body of Edward Douglas White, chief justice of the United States was buried today in Oak Hill cemetery to sleep forever near the city where his great service to the nation was rendered. Lowered flags on public buildings, closed doors of the government departments and the dull thudding oi a funeral salute from batteries at Fort Myer, across the Potomac, alone marked outwardly the nation's grief. A small company had gathered In St. Matthew's church when the hour of service arrived. Close up to the altar the casket was banked over with flowers and directly behind it President and Mrs. Harding took their places while cabinet members, diplomat, committees of congress, high department officials, and others of those representing a government hi mourning were grouped with a few intimate friends. Celebrate Mass When all were in their places the doors were opened to the throng that waited outside and the church was quickly filled. Requiem mass was ci ebrated by Monsignor Lee. rector of the church, which Justice White attended. The President and Mrs. Harding did not go to the cemetery and all the of flcial characters of the service ended with the ceremony at the church. Only the little company of relatives and close friends and the eight surviving members of the supreme court as honorary pall bearers went to pay last honors at the grave. By order of the president all activities In the executive departments were suspended for the funeral, set for 10 o'clock, and will remain suspended all day. The senate stood adjourned until Monday and all courts of the city were in recess. - ; - -( ; The funeral, private " by fequ'estof the family, was arranged in no sense as an official occasion but the position the chief justice held in the affairs of the country made it impossible to eliminate what amounted to official mourning. Notables Attend. Among those to attend besides President Harding were Justice White's associates on the supreme bench as honorary pall-bearers; Vice-President Coolidge. select committees from tht senate and the house, and the full delegation in congress from the jurist's native state, Louisiana, as well a3 the cabinet members, with the exception of Attorney General Daugherty. Mr. Daugherty was called to Ohio last rdght by illness in his family and designated as his representatives Col. Guy D. Goff. assistant to the attorneygeneral, and Solicitor General William L. Friarson, ranking legal officer in the absence of the attorney-general. Simultaneously with the hour of the funeral. President Harding ordered that the American flag wherever flown be halfmaster and that a funeral salute of 17 guns be fired at American military and naval stations throughout the world.
