VICE PRESIDENTS
BODY LAID TO REST
BANK OF FLOWERS COVER GRAVE
OF vICE-PRESIDENT.
PRESIDENT TAFT ATTENDS
Senators and Judges wept for Dead
Friend Service Was Impressive.
Services at Church Attended
by Thousands.

Utica, N. with simple but inn
pressive services, the body OF Vice-Presi-
dent James S. Sherman was his away
in a crypt within a beautiful mausoleum
IN Forest Hill cemetery. Under canvas
covering that served ia shield against
chill November wind, we're gathered
the Sherman family, President Taft,
members Of his cabinet, justices OF the
United States supreme court, senators
and members Of the house Of representa-
tives and few intimate friends and
business associates of the vice-president,
while without thrOng which had as
sembled to pay final tribute stood rev.
erently until the strains Of ASLEEP in
Jesus" by the Haydn male chorus,
which marked the soaclusion Of the serv-
ices, had died away
President Taft listened with bowed
head and tear-dimmed eyes as DR.. W. N.
Stryker, president OF Hamilton College,
read the brief committal service and the
Rev. Louis H, Holden, pastor Of Christ
Church, Of which Mr.. Sherman was .
member, offered prayer.
A mixed quartette sang Good Night"
and, when the selection by the male
chorus had been concluded, the president
gazed a moment at the flower-coyered
casket of his friend and slowly made his
way to waiting automobile, aceompa-
MED by former Vice President Charles w.
Fairbanks, Attorney General Wicker
sham and Maj. Rhoades, his military
aide.
Crowds began to gather in the vicinity
of the church before noon, and when the
doors were finally opened, the large
auditorium and spacious galleries were
quickly filed, except those seats which
had been set apart for the members OF
the family, President Taft and the con
gressional party, government officials
and intimate friends of the vice-presi-
dent. Details of police and fremen who
were on hand to keep the crowds in
check had difficulty in clearing the
streets for the expected eortege, which
had formed at the Sherman home.

Pansy Lesh, Aged "a, Confesses at Los
Angeles.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Pansy Ellen Lesh,
"a years old, who said she had just been

herself to the police, declaring that she

BANDITS HOLD UP
M, K. & 7, TRAIN
OVERLOOK $4,000, BUT GET $4,000
AND ESCAPE.
FIRST SET FIRE TO TRESTLE
Large COnsignments Of Currency Be.
ieved to Have Been Secured.
Wilderness Surrounding Scene
Makes Escape Easy.

Muskogeee, Okla.-.-That the four ban
dts who held up the Katy limited train
at Wirth, Okla, overlooked $4,000 in
currency in the express safe was the
statement made here by express com.
pany officials. just how much loot the
robbers secured the officials declare
they still do not know, but it is believed
it will reach $4,000.
The section of the country into which
the bandits are believed to have fled is
the most primitive in Oklahoma. Here
Indian trails answer for roadways. Many
lawless people inhabit the hills. 1t was
in these same mountains that the BAN
dts who recently committed the rob
berries near Poteau sought refuge.
Three Of the men boarded the train
at Muskogee and the fourth waited at
Wirth, where he had set the trestle
afre.
With nestles in bend Of the Ca
madam river. Two trestles span the
river, one a short bridge Of about TWEEN
ty-fve feet, carrying the railroad over
a slough or backwater. A few feet be-
yond trestle of more than 200 feet
stretches across the river.
It was at this curve, most strategic
point, that the hold-up occurred. The
robbers had timed their work well, al
most to the minute. No. was running
on time. The bandits must have known
this, for as the train made the curve the
bridge was already in flames. Three
masked men, standing in the glare OF
the fire, tagged it to a stop.
The locomtive had run onto the burn
ing bridge before the brakes could bring
the train to a standstill,
While one bandit held the line, the
other two uncoupled the engine, baggage
and express cars from the coaches. They
then forced the tTainmen into the cab
and ordered the engineer to open the
throttle. The engine, pulling the two
cars, shot ahead over the burning bridge.
The bridge fell into the water a minute
or so after the cars had passed. This
passenger coaches were left standing by
the brink of the stream.

Jackson The latter returned the fire,
shooting him above the heart. In the
pistol duel that followed, jackson was
