Former President, Former Chief Justice Laid to

BODY IS VIEWED BY
 THOUSANDS IN CAPITOL
Simple Services at Unitar- ian Church Hoover
 and Others at Funeral

WASHINGTON, March II. William Howard Taft, for mer President of the United States and former Chief Jus tice of the Supreme Court of the United States, was given a military burial at 4:O6 o'clock this afternoon in Ar lingtOn Cemetery.
 President Herbert Hoover, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes and all other chiefs and servants of the Govern ment stood with the widow and members of the family at the grave side.
 The military burial service there was brief--sharp crash- es of m u S k e try, q bugle sounding "taps" and Taft was returned to dust.
 Taft went to his grave in the robes of Chief Justice. The pleated, folded back robe he wore during the years on the Supreme Court bench was cloaked a bout his broad shoulders as he lay in the black furnished casket.
 William Howard Taft was returned to His Maker after funeral services W h i C h be- slowed the last tender offices of the Government he served and in the church which he worshiped by people whom he loved.
 Thousands paid homage as he lay in state under the dome of the Capitol, then in All Souls Church, high on the Sixteenth Street Hill.
 He received the simply ministra- tions of the Unitarian faith in which he lived and then the Fed eral Government claimed him, last Of all, for the military burial in Arlington Cemetery.
 A blustry March rain storm, which whipped into the face of his military escort, also drenched the great flag draped about the casket and overcast the sombre pie ture of the passing of the only man in American history to serve both as President and Chief Justice.

STAUNTON, Va, May 29.-The an
nual meeting of stockholders of the Mil
Ter Train Control Corporation was held
in the home office of the company here
and was largely attended by stockholders
from Virginia, District Of Columbia,
Maryland, Pennsylvania and other
States, and all appeared to be greatly
pleased with reports made at the meet
ing.
The vice president and general man.
ager reported that very satisfactory
progress had been made during the past
year. The company'S unique trafhc con-
troll system is now in service in quite
a number of important cities throughout
ing cities in Florida, Texas, Virginia,
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,,
New York, Ohio and Illinois, all operat-
ing satisfactorily and giving excellent
service.
Encouraging reports were also made
on train control, to the effect that the
Interstate Commerce Commission was
continuing their interest in and super
vision of train control installations. In
this connection, General Manager H. B.
Miller reported that the company had
been solicited by the director of the
Museum of Science and Industry, which
is b. ting established in Chicago, to make
an exhibit of their train control device
installed on the Chicago 81 Eastern Illi-
nois Railway in 1911, it being the first
train control to be put in service on a
steam railroad in the United States. In
cidentally, this company, through the
| General Railway Signal Co., made
| the latest installation OF its induction
| type on the Monon Railroad. which was
| approved by the Interstate Commerce
Commission last September.
1t was also reported that experiment.
were made during the past year with the
| company's train detectors on one Of thu
most prominent railroads in the United
States for the purpose OF actuating sig
mails at highway crossings, and these ex
periments have proven entirely success
full.
Two well known Washington men, M
c. Hazen and A. o. Ollie, were electe'
members Of the board Of directors, ant
Mr.. HAGEN was also elected vice presi
dent.

BONDS IRREGULAR
IN QUIET TRADING
U. S. Issues Drop Slightly.
Rail Group Is Well
Supported.
BY f. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. May 29.-Today's was
another languid session on the bond
market, with an irregular trend to price
fluctuations. The street had not count
ed on a further reduction in the Bank
of England rate, so that its omission
had no effect one way or the other.
A further cheapening of money just
now would hardly affect the situation
in any event, as the current dizziness is
result of the recent flood of new
lotations, together with the natural
suspension of activity in the face of
the reparations bond issue. This issue
will be not only gauge of the invest
ment market here and abroad, but will
serve to release large amount of new
issues of foreign origin. One of these
will be the British war loan refunding
operation, and it is estimated a total of
well over $500, 900 900 of other new for
eign financing is in progress of nego-
tiation.
Those preparing the market for the
separations bonds apparently have re-
Taxed their watchfulneSs for the mo-
ment as a result of the delay in ar
ranging the terms of the new issue
German bonds dropped fractionally to-
oay. Inc foreign department as a
whole gave poor account of itself, the
only exceptions to the general lethargy
being the Japanese issues, which are
subject to a considerable investment de-
mand from Japan itself.
New issues totaled only $4,000 900
but an offering of $14,040, 900 Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific equipment trust
412s was awarded to New York syn
dictate and will shortly be reoffered.
In the prime section United States
Government obligations showed tend
ency to drop back from the high levels
reached in the past three sessions.
AtchiSon General Is, Baltimore & Ohio
first Is, Canadian Pacific Is and Great
Northern Is were well supported. In
land Steel 41as, American Telephone
5hs and Utilities Power g. Light 51as
also gained. Most Of the convertibles
were unchanged.
In the second-grade railroad group
st. Paul adjustments recovered anoth-
er point Of the ground lost early in
the week. This group did well. Chi
cago & Great Western As, Rock Island

EXPORT AUTO SALE
CAMPAIGN PUSHED
American Firms Making e.
forts to Increase For
eign Business.
BY J. C. ROYLE.

American manufacturers Of automo-
olleS are showing strong efforts to adj
vance export of cars, according to re-
ports received by Government agencies
today 1t appears unlikely at present
that the dollar value of automobiles
will reach $540,000o 900, which WAS the
approximate value of cars EXPORTED in
1929 The falling off of foreign demand
mas not been specially heavy. but seems
que TO the depression abroad which fol-
lowed the slump of last Fall in this
country.
The figures for the year so far do not
snow how many cars were shipped In
the form Of parts for assembling abroad.
The trend toward operation of factories
BY American corporations in the foreign
countries is growing, according to Fed.
eral officials, and this is true of ma
chinery and other manufactured prod
uctS as we'll as automobiles. Labor is
cheaper In the foreign nations and
American machinery and methods are
used.
Wage Scales.
Labor employed in the foreign
branches Of American corporations
completes only with a part of labor Ia
America which produces goods for ex-
port, according to w. w. Husband, AS.
sistant Secretary of Labor. He added
that goods produced by this labor were
not likely to come back into the United
States to compete with products pro-
duced by highly paid workers in this
country.
In some instances factories owned by
American firms in foreign countries pay
the same wage scale as here. It is main.
tanned by some authorities that even
with the high rate of wages, workmen
highly trained and highly paid can turn
out products at q lower price by means
Of mass production than is possible
abroad even with wages far lower.
Manufacturers are taking far more
pains now, 1t Is said by departmental
authorities, to fulfill the preferences ID
foreign buyers In the matter of body
designs and coloring and upholstery
George F. Vault of the Automotive De
vision Of the Department of Commerce
points out that foreign makers are make
ing every effort to capture the trade In
their own countries and are followina
their local trends closely and are takina
the business that formerly went "a
American concerns, except in the cast
OF those who are paying strict atten-
ton to those trends.
Machinery Exports.
One such trend is the demand IN
countries which have cars with rights
hand drive. In some countries, accord.
ing to Mr.. Vault, the importation Of
left-hand-drive cars Is prohibited. An.
| other trend noted is a constant decrease
in the use of solid tires on trucks.
Machinery exports are holding up re.
markedly well and foreign demand fol-
foodstuffs, especially wheat, is expected
to increase, because Of the unfavorable
crop conditions existing in some foreign
countries.
Some merchants are advocating in.
creased tourist trafic abroad on the
part of Americans, saying that much Of
| the money spent by travellers comes
back to this country in payment fol
American exports.
