Arizona republican., 1908-06-26

distinguished citizens will have be- come but a memory.
 President Roosevelt, Governor Fort of New Jersey, Governor Hughes of New York, Governor Hoke Smith of Georgia, members of President Cleve- lands cabinet and other notable citi- zens are expected to attend.
 President Roosevelt will arrive by special train from Oyster Bay tomor- rowat 4:S0 pm. He will be met at the station by Governor Fort and they will drive direct to- the Cleve- land home. After the ceremonies the president will leave Princeton at once in his private car, Signet. Although to the Cleveland home and cemetery will be limited to personal friends of the family, thousands of people are expected in Princeton tomorrow, at tracted by the presence of President Roosevelt and other distinguished personages, to witness the Cleveland procession.
 Princeton's police force consists of only a few men and the precaution of safeguarding President Roosevelt maintaining order and keeping the thoroughfares cleared, became a se- rious problem with the city author ities. Mayor Robinson decided to call on Trenton for police assist ance and rope off the thoroughfares from the Cleveland house to the cem- etery but the utter inadequacy of a score of policemen to handle a crowd of several thousand people and keep the cemetery free from intruders be- came at once apparent.
 Governor Fort, through Assistant AdSutant General Frederick Gilkeyson rendered Mrs. Cleveland the state troops for a military funeral but the tender was declined, Mrs. Cleveland $ expressed wishes being that nothing of a military nature should have a part in her husbands obsequies Mayor Robinson, however, pointed out to those in charge of the funeral ar engagements that the desire of the cu- rious thousands to witness the burial of Mir. Cleveland at close range might cause them to sweep aside the few police available as guards and cause scene of confusion, at least at the grave When this situation was pre- scented to Mrs. Cleveland and the ne- cessity of guarding President ROose- welt against possible harm was point ed out to her she finally consented to the presence of the troops to as- sist in policing the city.
 Late this afternoon Col. Gilkeyson came here from Trenton with Mayor Robinson and held a long consultation with those in charge of the funeral at the Cleveland home Following the conference it was stated that the mil itary would consist of the second troop of cavalry and companies A B and C of Princeton and Trenton first regiment, national guard. The mounted troops will be under the command of Capt. Edwin Field, who will arrive here tomorrow by special train over the Pennsylvania road about 1 o'clock The Trenton com panies and the local company, num- bering about 300 men. will be com manded by Major John Mccullough The Trenton companies will arrive by trolley special cars. To cooperate with the troops and mounted sol diers, twenty-five policemen are eX- pected here tomorrow from Trenton.
 The station where President Roose- welt will arrive, and Westland, the Cleveland home, the street leading tC the cemetery and the cemetery itself will be thoroughly policed and no ve- hicles or pedestrians will be allowed on the streets on the Cleveland grounds or in the cemetery during the funeral. As soon as the funeral is over and President Roosevelt leaves the troops and special police will be withdrawn.
 Mrs. Cleveland spent the day quiet ly.~ She arose early, shortly after six o'clock this morning, and accompa- nied by President Finley of the Col lege of the City of New York, went to the cemetery. where she gave final directions for locating the grave. MT Cleveland will be buried near the ivy crowned grave of his eldest daughter Ruth.
 The ex-president's body was em- balmed today and this afternoon was placed in a casl1et, tomorrow to be taken to the library on the first floor where the ceremonies will be conduct ed A silver plate bears the in- scription: Grover Cleveland, March IS, 1S37-June 24, 190S."
