O.J FRIDAY, MARCH 14TH, 1930 (10 Pa<res) NUMBER 4 William H. Taft Is Dead I Twenty-Seventh President of The United States and Tenth Chief Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court Washington, March 11.?William Howard Taft who died at his home in Washington City Saturday evening at 5ftl>, was buried this afternoon be neath a spreading oak tree, just as the first sunlight of a dreary spring! day broke over the wooded hills of* Arlington National Cemetery. A steady downpour of rain through most of the day drenched thousands who lined the streets for Washing ton's most impressive state fulneral of many years. But as the sad clear notes of taps echoed over the hills bordering the potomac river the skies cleared and sunlight sprinkled Simple Funeral Bites. The burial was brief. The funeral cortege went to the cemetery directly from All Souls Unitarian Church, where simple funeral rites were held. Previously the body of the man whom President Hoover called "the most beloved of Americans," lay In state in the rotunda of the Capitol for more than 8,000 from all walks of life. It was at 3:25 p. m. that the first gun of the 21 Presidential salutes was heard from the batteries of Ft. Myer. It was fired as the funeral cortege entered Arlington from the church. The pocession, headed by a crack troop from the 3rd cavalry, proceeded along the winding gravel driveways of the cemetery past the graves of the nation's war dead, past the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, to the spot selected as the burying place for the 27th President and tenth Chief Jus t'ce of the United States.
