they were informed the Drivers and
Chauheur's union had ironclad con-
tracts against Sunday funerals.
The elder Vaughn appealed to his
sons friends, so former Lieutenant

rines, borrowed a navy truck on
which the fower-draped casket and
the pallbearers we're taken to
Woodlawn cemetery, while several
score neighbors and friends loaned
and drove their autmobiles for the

SMALL STARTS
Cement FIGHT
Governor Launches Campaign on
Alleged Combine-Hfrst
Charges.

Springfield, ILL.,. May 23.-Gov-

tack on what he termed the Gem
ent Trust" declaring that Illinois
will either go into the cement pro-
ducing business or will change
hard road specifications and build
highways of some other material
unless the trust is broken.
In a letter to Governor J. J.
Blaine, of Wisconsin, Governor
Small suggested a conference OF
governors of mid-western states
for the purpose of protecting tax
payers from the profteering mach
nations of the cement trust"
The suggestion of a gorenors'
conference followed the Illinois ex-
ecutive's arraignment of A. R.
Hirst, Wisconsin highway engineer,
in which Governor Small virtually
called Hirst an emissary OF the
cement trust
Adoption of the Holiday road

signed, gives the state administra-

Colonel C. R. Miller, director Of the
state department of public works

the road program, including esti-
mates on the cost of producing ouT
