VILLAGES IN RUSSIA
PRESIDENT BOWS
AT GRAVE OF HAY Ia,
RoosH;elt and His Cabinet Attend
Simple Funeral Services in
Cleveland.

Cleveland, July 5.-At almost exactly
noon today the body of John Hay was
laid to rest in Lakeview cemetery.
Around the open grave, at the last mo-
ment stood with bowed heads, the presl;,
dent and vice president of the United
States members and former members OF
the present cabinet, and men who had,
in former years, served with the dead
secretary in the official family of Presi-
don't Mckinley.
Thece were many others who willing
ly would have paid tribute OF honor
and respect to Mr.. Hay but it was the
wish Of his family that the funeral
should be conducted for John Hay-the
man they knew and loved in private
life-and not for the brilliant and-force,,
full premier whose name is honored
wherever clean and successful states
manship is esteemed among men.
Small Assemblage There.
The assemblage at his funeral and
around his grave was therefore small.
The visible honors accorded him in
death were in ratio directly inverse
to those freely given him in life, and
perhaps no greater testimony to the
worth of the man could have been given
than the quiet manner in which his
countrymen, who appreciated. his char.
acter and achievements, stood aside at
his family's wish to take hostage of the
future for the endurance Of his fame.
The events Of the day commenced
with the arrival of President Roose-
Welt train at 8 am. and closed with
it's departure at 3 pm.
When at 9 o clock the special train
carrying President Roosevelt and the
members Of his cabinet arrived at the
| station of the Pennsylvania road, a re-
ception committee composed of mem
| bers of the Chamber of Commerce was
in waiting. The president walked quick
| ly from the train to his carriage; the
| members of the cabinet and the recep-
ton committee entered the other car
riages, and, headed by Troop A, the
smart trot for the Chamber of Com
merce, two miles away, where the body
Of Mr.. Hay lay in state.
