OTHER MOTABLES PRESENT
CEREMONIES WERE BRIEF AND
SIMPLE.

n LEVELAND, July 5.-The body of
u John Hay rests tonight in his
family burying ground in a corner
Of Lakeview cemetery. Five hundred
feet to the west of where the secretary
lies is the great memorial of James A.
Garfield; 200 feet to the north rises
the monolith of the Rockefeller family.
Closer still are the graves of the Otises
and the Busts. Most of these men were
buried with funeral services far more
elaborate than was John Hay; certainly
none of them could have been inferred
with ceremony more simple

bassador. came direct to Cleveland
from his summer home at IenoX Mass
and was, owing to delays experienced
on the road, able to reach the chamber

Mrs. Hay had expressed desire that
the casket be not opened unless Presi-

himself as unwilling to disturb the ar
already made.
