LAWT0N BURIED
TODAY WITH FULL
MILITARY HONORS.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Major General
Henry w. Lawton was buried today in
the national cemetery at Arlington. The
services at the grave We're preceded by
services at the Church Of the Covenant
in this city. where President Stryker Of
Hamilton college. New York. delivered a
equaled in beauty of expression, nor
could it have been in more perfect ac-
cord with the spirit Of the solemn occa-
sion that called it forth.
Never In the history of the capital has
there been a more representative gather
ing of the nations official life to pay a
last tribute to the nations honored dead.
No mark of military pomp and ceremony
that the regulations could provide was
wanting to render the occasion solemn
and impressive. Nearly all the avail
able troops of the regular establishment
remaining in this country were called
out. Three thousand infantry, cavalry
and artillery followed the hag-draped
caisson to the grave.
But the mere official formalities were
dwarfed beside the deep popular demon
stration that the burial of the dead SOL
dier called forth. Every department. Of
the government paid it's official tribute,
flags hung at halfmast.
The president and his cabinet repre-
sentatives of the supreme court of the
house and the senate and of the army
and navy all combined to fill the dark
ened church to it's utmost.
But these official representative Of
the people We're lost in the great crowds
that surrounded the church and lined
the strets along which the procession
passed. Lawton was to the people an
ideal American soldier, whose exploits in
three wars made his name household

and only, died in the line of duty, leav-
ing nothing to his children but the l1eri-
tage Of an honored name. It was in
tribute to this soldierly ideal that Amer

swelled the 'Lawton fund" beyond all
expectation of its originators, and I'm fur
ther tribute today that the great out
pouring of citizens filled the streets long
before the hour when the services at the
Church of the Covenant were to COM

lain IN state under military guard
through the silent watches of the night.

duct on the part of V. c. man deprives
