FUNERAL SERVICE
 SET FOR TUESDAY
Last Rites to Be Accorded Gen.
 Nelson A. Miles

Washington, May ls,-(AP)-Fi- nal arrangements for the funeral 1 Tuesday in Arlington National ceme- tery Of Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles await the arrival of his son, i Major sherman Miles, who, al the time of his fathers sudden death at circus here Friday, was en route home from Constantinople.
 The tentative arrangements an- Inouncsd by Major General Rocken- | bach provide for full military honors 10 the famous campaigner. Not only lthe army, but the navy and marine corps will have opportunity during ! the funeral 10 demonstrate their re- spcct for his achievements and rev crence for his memory and Presi- dent Coolidge Is expected 10 lead the high officials who will represent the non military agencies Of the govern ernment in the nations final tribute,
 With the death Of General Miles, whose exploits have filled many Of tthe most romantic pages of Ameri- cas- history, numerous anecdotes of his fighting days are being recalled | in army circles. One which few have | heard, relates how he received what amounted virtually to a reprimand for the greatest single achievement Of his Indian campaigns.
 | In 1886, while trailing Geronimo. the tale runs, Niles operated under percmptory orders from Washing ton that not a member of the dis affected Apache tribes should he along the Arizona trail. During the ! final drive Chiefs Mangus and i Natchez, technically subordinate 10 Geronimo, but regarded in govern ment circles as actually the powers behind the instruction, broke away from the main Indian party. The soldiers in pusuit ignored their trail land followed that Of Geronimo, but as soon as he had been captured Niles threw cordon about the dis trict into which the fugitives Man gus and Natchez had gone, issued detailed orders as 10 movements, and left for Washington. At the war de- partment, tho story goes. he was informed in the usual curt phrase oIogy of departmental memoranda that the campaign was viewed as a1 absolutue failure because of the "es- cape" of the two chiefs.
 "They have not escaped" Miles Is said 10 have insisted. but he was in- structed 10 proceed to his home 10 await orders.
 While this was going on q mes senger was hurrying to the building with Q telegram announcing that the force Miles had employed had cap turNd the leaders and that they were being sent 10 Florida.
 The campaign ended the last se- rious Apache uprising in the United States,

 More careful and systematic handling Of traf1c is urged. and police forces are cited as the only competent agencies to accomplish It. There must be more police" declares the bulletin. Each traffic police force, wherever situated. must be more adequately supported by public sentiment; it's appropria- tions must be larger" Attention is called to the steady increase in the number of motor vehicles on the highways and the corresponding hazards and plea Is made to take time by the forelock, and be or ganized for the future.
 The present direction Of traffic. so far as 1t goes. is commanded. Too much praise cannot be given 10 the direction Of traffic in the state" says the bulletin. This ap- plies not only to the direction by the police but to the use of auto matic signals and 10 the general promptness and correctness with which the various problems have been met Much stress Is laid upon the importance of the traffic officer in the safety scheme and a consider able part Of the bulletin Is devoted to a discussion of his powers and re- responsibilities and the motorists ob- ligation to heed his directions.
