MR.. RIXEY DRAWS A
WORD PICTURE OF
DEATHBED SCENE
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON. May 27.-surgeon
General Rixey returned today from
Canton, where he had been summoned
by the illness of Mrs. McKinluey. He
gave the following account of the pass
ing of Mrs. Mckinley:
Mrs Mckinley recognized Secretary
Cortelyou and myself on our arrival
Friday morning, although she had been
in a semi-comatose condition for
twenty-four hours, attended by Drs.
Potemann and Eyman, her local ply
sicians and friends.
Her face frightened, and with one of
those sweet smiles for which she was
noted she spoke few words of welcome
and gratitude that we had come to her.
After this she was aroused only with
difficulty, but seemed to recognize the
voices of Justice and Mrs. Day Satur-
day morning.
''Yes, she died as a child going to
sleep, and as she breathed the last few
breaths of this life the expression of her
face changed, the lines of pain and sor-
row seemed to leave it and she looked
as she must have appeared in her girl
hood, before the physical affliction from
which she suffered for thirty years,
came to her in her early motherhood"

LAST SAD RITES
TO Be IMPRESSIVE
Thousands of School Children to View
Mrs. McKinIey's Remains Today.
Funeral Wednesday
Afternoon
Rv Associated Press.

by ASSOCidlSu
CANTON, Ohio, May 27.-Although
it is not intended that the funeral OF
Mrs. Mckinley shall take on the form
of a ceremony OF state, yet the COM
missioner of the president and mem
bers of his cabinet, the vice president,
the governor of Ohio and many other
people of note will make it such in a
degree at least.
Late this afternoon it was determ-
ined to change the arrangements for
the funeral so as to allow the remains
to be viewed by Canton friends of the
deceased.
The time fixed for this is from to 5
o'clock tomorrow. To show their love
for the departed thousands of school
children will be included in the throng
that will go through the Mckinley
home and pass the bier.
The city council tonight made ar
rangements for floral piece to be sent
to the Mckinley home, spread appro-
pirate minutes upon the record, decided
to attend the funeral and adjourned
out of respect to the memory of Mrs.
Mckinley.
The city board of education did like
wise. Business will be suspended
Wednesday afternoon, Floral tributes
in profusion from friends in many
states are arriving.
CANTON, O., May 27.-It has been
decided that Mrs. McKinley's funeral
shall in no wise be regarded as an Of
fetal ceremony.
1t will be private, in accordance with
Mrs McKinley's own expressed wishes
and in conformity with the desires of
Mrs. Barber, her sister.

Sees Benefits Ahead

In the struggle for commercial Su-
premacy among the great nations Of
the world, President James realizes to
its full the great advantages such a
school would lend. Not alone in the
foreign service in this true, but in all
of the various branches of government.
In his letter he says:
"a great school of this kind would
prepare men for the public service os
at present no men are prepared in the
United States. The existence of such
a school and the preparation which its
graduates would have would call the
attention of the federal administration
to the fact that it could obtain compe-
tent men for any administrative posi-
ton within its gift and the supply Of
men with such training would create a
demand for their services.
This is just now the strategic mo-
ment, owing to the fact that law has
been passed reorganizing, reforming
and, in many respects, putting upon
sounder basis the consular service of
the United States. The present law
will inevitably work in the direction
of providing a trained consular SER
vice; but to carry this idea out to
an adequate and desirable extent it
will be necessary to have some center
where these men may be properly
lists in this country. In such school
of politics and diplomacy, located in
Washington, would be found the ideal
place to acquire this particular train
ing"
1t would appear at first glance that
Professor James is visionary in enter
tanning the belief that the university
would have such a decided effect upon
congress and the administration.
Prominent educators and number Of
statesmen, however, point out that al
ready the George Washington univer-
sity is so closely affiliated with the
government by reason of the fact that
it counts as members of its faculty a
large number of government scientists
that it has demonstrated it's usefulness
to the administration.
This usefulness is seen most plainly
in the adoption by the government of
scientific discoveries made in the uni
versitys laboratories and in the de-
velopment of it's scientists along new
lines. While the government archives
afford the university rich mines of
information, nevertheless the univer-
sity faculty and students really are
the miners, digging out the nuggets of
knowledge and preparing them to be
put to a useful purpose.

BIC CAME HEADS
TO Be COLLECTED
By Associated Press.

by ASSOCIdISu
NEW YORK, May 27.-With nucleus
of 1872 big game heads and horns rep
resenting 109 different species, the
National collection of heads. and
horns has been started in the New
York Geological park.
Realizing the threatened extinction
of the great game animals of America,
and in practically all of the rest of the
globe, the promoters of the scheme
believe that the time is ripe for the
gathering together of the records and
tokens of hundreds Of disappearing
species
Two series of exhibits are planned,
the first geological and the second
geographical. Under the first heads
specimens will be arranged to show
evolution and relationship.
The nucleus collection contains a
series showing the progress from the
yearling buffalo bull to the twenty
year old "stub horn" bull collected on
the Montana range.
1t is, probably, impossible to dupli-
cate this series from wild sources
