S.) -With the same lack of ostentation that marked his long and useful life, Edward Douglass White, ninth chief justice of the United States supreme court; was laid to his long rest to day. ' The services for the noted Jurist were impressive in their simplicity, in keep ing with the character of Justice White, as Washington had learned to know it In the more than 30 years of his official life here. Save for the presence of the - highest officials of the government, the president, the Vice president; members of the cabinet, senators and represent- - Uvea, officers of the army and navy and foreign diplomats, the funeral 'of the late chief Justice today might well have - been that of any other Catholic citizen well beloved by his fellow men. FLAGS AT HALF HAST Only the flags drooping at half mast ' in the May sunshine and the quiet which " prevailed around governmental depart - ments and courts, closed In honor of the dead, gave mute testimony of the sorrow of official Washington at the passing of one of Its greatest members, one who had served the government well for more than three decades. All over the world, wherever the American flag flies today, the govern - ment officially spoke its sorrow at the -. death of .fustic White. American army : posts from Alaska to Panama, from China to the Rhine, fired a salute of 17 guns In his honor at I o'clock this morn ing. Navy posts and every warship on j the seas which could be reached with wireless orders did likewise, . In every country where the United States main tains official representation the flag hangs at halt mast and will continue to so hang foe 10 days. SERVICES ARE SIMPLE The simple services were conducted - from - St. .Matthews church, but a few blocks from the home of the late Jus- ' tice In Rhode Island avenue. The venerable rector of the church. the flight Rev. Monsignor Thomas S. Lee, was celebrant of the high mass of requiem. He had been a close friend and neighbor of the chief Justice for 1 many years. They had much in com mon. Chief Justice White was descended from a long line of distinguished Jurists . and Catholic pioneers in Louisiana. The Celebrant. Monsignor Le, likewise typi fied the Old Catholic life of the nearbyi state of Maryland, being a greai-grana-son of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, last survivor of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Following the conclusion of the brief services at St. Matthews, the body was taken to Oakhill cemetery in George town for burial. Accompanying it as ' honorary pallbearers were the eight sur. viving members of the supreme court Justices McKenna, Holmes, Day, Van Devanter, Pitney, McReynolds, Bran dels and Clark the first three of whom had served on the bench with the dead justice upward of 20 years. Local Court Adjourns As a mark of respect to Chief Justice White, whose funeral was nem tooay in w,MnrtAn. D. C Federal Judge Bean n-AAi-tri that the local United States court adjourn all day today, "It is fit ting that this court adjourn," the judge said, "as during the S7 years which Chief Justice White occupied the bench, he- distinguished himself as a fearless, able and conscientious judge.'-' Eeligious Education Proposal by School ; Directors Accepted At a meeting in the Y.

Conestoga Disabled, Lost in j Trough of Sea, Captain's View Mechanical trouble, causing the ship to fall off into the trough of the sea, is given by Captain Ernest O. Hetnrtci, port captain of the Columbia-Pacific Co.. as the cause of the loss of the naval tug Conestoga. The Conestoga left Mare Island navy yard, bound for Samoa, the latter part of March and was reported as hove to some 600 miles off Honolulu during the gale Of April 8. Since that time no word has been received of her. Built in 1904 for the Reading railroad, she was used for towing coal barges on the Atlantic coast. Captain Heinrlcl stated.'

"Naturally one becomes impatient with the delays, especially after the promise that the effective date of the new tariffs would be June 20.
