rUBUQl-E. Ia., Aug. 8.-A he lived so
was Benator William B. Allison burid to
day In a manner devoid of all ostentation.
Services were held at the residence of the
dead statesman and, while not of a private
character, the limited accommodations of
the home permitted only the presence of
the distinguished visitors, the relatives and
the meet Intimate friends of the late sen
ator. The services were simple and con
sisted of the reading of the Twenty-third
Psalm, the fifteenth chapter of the Epistle
to the Corinthians, and a prayer. Rev. J.
T. Bergen of the Westminster Presbyterian
church officiated. There was no music.
The Interment was private, and after the
Proabyterian committal service had been
read by Dr. Bergen, the body of the sen'
ator was lowered Into Its last resting place
on tho hillside which overlooks the Mis
sissippi river.
All Dubuque paid allent tribute to the
memory of Senator Allison today. During
the hours of the funeral not a wheel turned
throughout the city and every business
house, cloced its doors. Flags hung at half
mast from public buildings and hundreds
of homes and business houses were
trimmed With crepe. A most effective
feature was the winding with black and
white of the trolley poles throughout the
main thoroughfare of the city.
Thonannd Par Final Tribute.
The body of Senator Allison lay In state
yesterday afternoon and evening, and
thousands of people called to pay a final
tribute of respect. The only floral tributes
were a blanket of American beauty rosos,
completely covering the casket, an emblem
of the Loyal Legions and the national flng.
Tho pallbearers were nil residents of the
city and Intimate friends of the senator.
Many distinguished visitors were in' at
tendance at the funeral. Besides the mem
bers of the congressional committee named
by Vice President Fairbanks and Speaker
Cannon, there .was a large delegation from
Des Moines, consisting of Governor Cum
mins and other state officers. The Des
Moines party brought with It a beautiful
floral blanket six and one-half feet long
and three feet wide. The border was of
white carnations and in the center, wrought
In red, was the word, "Iowa." In throe
of the corners were clusters of lilies of the
valley, and In the fourth, fastened a rib

of the length of tlmeyvqulred to mark tho

ROOSEVELT ON PLAYGROUNDS
President Wrltea Washington Tontb
Commending; Ontdnor Sport Fos
tered by Movement.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 8.-In connection
with the playground movement In this city
Henry 8. Curtis, secretary of the play
ground association of America, today made
public the following letter written by
President Roosevelt to "the boy and girls
of Washington:"
Through Dr. Curtis I have learned that
many of your are taking an active part In
star athletlo contests and athletic events
In your city. I am glad to see this. I be
lieve In work and I do not bellfve In sac
rificing work to piny; hut I most emphat
ically believe also In play. A boy or girl
who haw a healthv body will be all the
better fit for serious work, and if the
health come through vigorous sports pur
sued in nn honorable, strulghtfnrward man
ner not only their mind, but their charac-
er is benefitted.
To the boys I wish to sav a special
word. I emphatically believe In manliness.
In courage, In physical address, but I be
lieve quite as much In good comradeship
and In a spirit of fair play. I hope that
wherever you enter a contest you will do
all that Is In you to win, and yet that you
will remember that It is far better to fall
than to win by any unfairness, by any
underhand trickery. Keep In mind thnt It
only by persistent effort In the face of
tllseournirement that any of us ever do
anything that Is really worth while doing.
The fellow who gives up when ho Is once
eaten Is made of mlghtv poor stuff, and
If he thus gives up as soon n he is beaten
n a sport, he does not rtatid much chance
of success In the serious conflicts of after
Ife. The true spirit. th spirit which wins
victories In after life, la the spirit which
flihtfl hard to succeed, but. which takes
defeat with good nature and with the res
olute determination to try again. It Is a
pond beginning for this- serious work of
after life If on the plnv grounds you learn
how to co-operate with your fellows and
to ao your lest to win. although at the
same time treating your opponents with
fairness and emirtesy.

CROCKER SIDES WITH ENGLISH
Declare Carpenter Deliberately
Foaled HalUwelle in 400-Meter
Olympic Race.
MONTREAL, Aug. 8. The Canadian
Olympic team was met by a crowd of ad
mirers on Its return from England last
night. The athletes w"ere escorted through
the streets to the Montreal Athletic club
amid cheers and plaudits.
J. H. Crocker, manager of the team,
sides with the English athletes and of
ficials In the dispute with the American
team. He said:
'Starting with the hole digging Incident
for the pole vault and finishing up with
the foul of the 4O0 meters, the Americans
made themselves thoroughly disliked by
other competitors and despised by the of
ficials and the English people. Most of
their protests were of the most trivial
nature."
Speaking of the 400-meter race, in which
Carpenter, the American, was alleged to
have "bored" Hallswelle, Mr. Crocker de
clared emphatically that it was one of the
most deliberate fouls that could be de
vised. More than that, Mr. Crocker avers
that the foul was premedldated. Early
in the day of the race, he had heard that
there was some deal being framed up, the
news leaked out from the dressing room
of the Americans, and to see for himself
exactly what was going to happen, the
Canadian manager says he stationed him
self above the press stand and Immediately
above the spot at Which the jostling took
place. At the turn of the track, said Mr.
Crocker, Carpenter deliberately veered out
from the Inside berth while Hallswelle was
working Into It.

Russia will follow with the most sympa
thetic attention the efforts of Turkey to
assure the successful working of the new
regime and that she will abstain from any
interference calculated to complicate this
task.

TRAP THREE TONS OF MOTHS
Saxon Find an Inarenlon Way to
End Disastrous Caterpil
lar Plaae.
ZETTIEAU, Germany, Aug. 8. The
Saxon authorities have discovered what
would seem to be an excellent way to put
an end to the caterpillar plague, which Is
having such a disastrous effect on the
local forests. They have discovered a
method to catch the brown nun moths that
lay the eggs from which the caterplllats J
come In enormous quantities. They make
use of what they call the electric light
trap. This consists of two large and pow
erful reflectors placed over a deep recep
tacle and powerful exhaust fans. The
whole has been erected on top of the mu
nicipal electric plant. At night two great
streams of light are thrown from the re.
flectors on the wooded mountainsides half
a mile distant. The results have been as
tonishing. The moths, drawn by the bril
liancy, come fluttering In thousands along
the broad rays of light. When they get
within a certain distance of the reflectors
the exhaust fans take up their work and
with powerful currents of air swirl them
down Into the receptacle. On the first
night no less than three tons of moths were
caught.
