New Kind of Bees
for Wisconsin

Madison, Wis., "A new varie-
ty of bees is being introduced into
Wisconsin from Austria by C. w.
Aeppler, whose apiary near Stonebank,
a small community of Dodge county,
consists of more than 500 colonies.
The bees were shown to beekeepers
of the state on their recent tour in
southeastern Wisconsin.
The queens were imported through
the United States department of agri-
culture from the lowlands of south
Austria Mr.. Aeppler said he pre-
ferred them to the Italian bees be-
cause they are more gentle and not
addicted to swarming. Because they
are not crowded in small hives in
their native section, as are the Car
niolans from the mountainous re-
gions of Austria, the swarming in
stinct has been bred out, the bee
keepers were told.

MANY In TRIBUTE
TO VICTOR LAWSON
Famous Publisher is Buried Today
With Simple But Impressive
Rites in Chicago Church.

Chicago, ILL., Victor FREE
mont Lawson was claimed today from
the outstanding position into which
half century of achievements thrust
him, despite disposition naturally
modest and retiring, for last simple
tribute from few surviving relatives
and great host Of friends.
: From a world figure in journalism,
powerful force for public good, bene-
factor of the poor, far sighted BUSH
ness man, and mighty church leader,
he was, in the solemn final rites
for the departed, permitted to be-
come a. mourned relative counsellor
and friend.
1t was his wish that his funeral
service and burial be shorn of all
ostentation and display. So it was
that they were planned. Despite his
demands for simplicity, a great COM
pany of mourners, many nationally
known in the field of journalism, in
which, as proprietor and editor of the
Chicago Daily News and co-founder
of the Associated Press, Mr.. Lawson
was commanding figure for fifty
years, were here for the funeral
service at 1900 o'clock this morning
in the little New England Congre-
gational church, preceding burial at
Graceland cemetery.
1t was entirely fitting that all re-
manned mortal of Victor Lawson should
be borne to the little stone edifice
for the church's last rite. 1t was
milestone that ever required in
his life.
There it was in the quiet old
fashioned church in the days of his
youth he lent his voice to the singing
from the steep choir loft. There he
became acquainted with Miss Jessie
Bradley nearly half century ago;
there they were married.
He was trustee of the church, two
year terms, and at his death had been
president of the board many years
Rarely did he miss a service.
The Rev. Ozara Stearns Davis,
president of the Chicago Theological
seminary, was chosen to act as the
officiating clergyman.
In addition to surrounding the
funeral service with the utmost sim
plicity, although it was public cere-
mony, it was decided that the burial
should be strictly private. In Grace
land cemetery Mr.. Lawson will lie for
eternity along side the body of his
wife, whose death he never ceased to
mourn and whose grave it was his
invariable Sunday custom to visit, no
matter what the weather.
Of the thousands of messages of
coincidence and tribute which have
streamed into the offices of the Daily
News since Mr.. Lawson's death, one
of the most touching was from Bri-
gadier General Charles G. Dawes, vice
president of the United States, who
signified his intention to attend
the final services for his long time
friend today.
Melville E. Stone, now counsellor
and former general manager of The
Associated Press, Mr.. Lawson's part
ner, in ownership of the Daily News
for a dozen years and his colleague
in the organization and development
of The Associated Press, was one of
the first of the notables of the world
of journalism to arrive for the funer-
al Frank B. Moves, president of the
Associated Press; George Rogers Of
the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and
Adolph S. Ochs, publisher of the New
York Times, were others who fastened
to Chicago.
