Washington, Nov. 22.-fresluent
Taft returned to United States soil to-
day TO the music of 81 guns from For
tress Monroe. The cruiser Tennessee,
bearing the executive dropped anchor
off OLD Point at 11:20 and Mr.. Taft
took the train for Richmond. He will
remain there tonight, staying at the
Jefferson Hotel. Tomorrow morning
he will breakfast with Governor Mann,
and after 4 brief view OF the nearby
battlciiclds from an automobile, will
address the Virginia School Terchers'
Convention. He will return to Wash
ugton in the afternoon. Since leaving
Charleston, S. c., on November 10,
President Taft has travelled nearly
900 miles and had been On the sea
nine days. The armored cruiser Ten
aeS$cc. and her sister ship, Montana,
NAL" an average Of II and $40 knots
an hour throughout the trip, a speed
that burned up coal at terrific rate
ana knocked out some 100 coal passers
on the I .Huessee and 80 on the Mon
tana. The men were temporarily pros
ir;itc by tho intense heat in the fire
rooms.
President Taft arrived at Colon on

;crring with caual officials at Culebra.
Last Tuesday he inspected the Gatun
Dam; Wednesday the Culebra Cut and
that afternoon heard complaints from
ccrtAin classes of laborers. In the
evening he left United States soil to
sci foot in Banana City, attending a
banquet given by President Arcsemena

liguc' locks and the Pacific approach
That afternoon he sailed
Ga November 10. the executive
ndcd ut Guantanamo, Cuba, for a
ici view Of the site for q new naval
,lion. When the president came
deck today to view the famous
ampton Roads he looked the picture
Of health. The Taft smile was some
what forced when the president sailed
from Charleston, and the worries OF the
campaign and knowledge Of loss Of re-
publican control OF the House had left
their impression on his forehead. To-
day he was full OF life and cheer and
delighted to get back.
Throughout the whole OF his trip the
president Was in wireless communica-
tlon with Washington and practically
directed the government from mid
ocean. On the return trip he dictated
4 goodiy part Of his annual message.
Heavy weather off the northern coast
Of Florida Monday, merely furnished
an opportunity for the president to
show that lie was good sailor. He
enjoyed the blow and spent most OF the
day on deck.

1'olstoi's Funeral.


st. Petersburg, Nov. -. Accom-
panied by his family and a large num-
Der OF friends and admirers, the body OF
Count Leo Tolstoi today reached
Saseka, near his home at Iasnaya
Polyana.
Crowds of weeping peasants, who
had lived for years on Tolstoi's estates
and who knew his bounty, together
with many notablcs, stood uncovered
and shoulder to shoulder as the train
arrived.
The great oak coffin that contained
the body was literally buried in flowers
by his friends. despite Tolstoi's dying
wish that there should be no display
and no ostentation surrounding the
obsequies.
Denuncation OF the Greek Catholic
Church for refusing all funeral rites to
the accommodated author is heard
on all sides. Officials and members Of
the cars government are especially
angry that the church refused to rclcnt,
declaring Tolstoi was nearly rs power
full as the church itself and that this
action of the church was sure TO be the
cause OF great numbers Of Russians
leaving the established religion.
The police and military authorities
all over Russia are especially watchful
to prevent any kind of q demonstra.
ton on the part Of the Black Hundred,
which feared and hated the author rs
it did no other man or government.
The organization, however. is apparent
" afraid to act adversely, owing to
the popular esteem in which Tolstoi
was held and the fear that many OF
its own members would desert it TO
stand by Tolstoi and the things for
which he preached and wrote.
The funeral WAS held this afternoon,
with no ceremony whatever, at the
foot OF Poverty Oak, on Tolstoi's estate
where he played as boy and where
the peasants are wont to congrcgate on
holidays.
The funeral of Tolstoi was almost a
national event. Thousands OF persons
poured into the little village.
The funeral was marked with SIM
plicity.
For hours before the funeral the
body lay in state in a bare room in the
Tolstoi villa, where thousands passed
on either side OF the coffin. The room
contained only a book case, a bust Of
Tolstoi and one Of the Buddha.

The social service commission of
the Episcopal church recently ap-
pointed J. c. Astredo a committee of
one to wait on the park commissioners
and call their attention 10 the fact that
the ocean beach from the line of the
western exit from the park toward the
road TO Ingleside-a desirable stretch
Of territory for women and children
who wish to enjoy the sea air-has no
supply of drinking water. He sug-
gested that q tract at the junction of
the Sloat boulevard and the Great high
way be set apart as a play ground for
children and rest place for women.
The commissioners took a favora BILE
view of the proposition and directed
Superintendent McLaren to have water
pipes with faucets placed on the tract
suggested and install sand boxes,
swings and ball courts.
A force of men is now at work put
ting the ground in condition, and in a
