INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 2S The capital of
the State is in mourning garb for its
favorite daughter Sombre drapery is to
be seen on every hand. Flags are dis.
played at half mast from roof and win
dow, and for block after block there is
hardly a building that is not draped to a
more or less elaborate extent.
Some Of the biggest structures have
streamers of black and white reaching
from roof to sidewalk, or stretched across
from window to window on every story.
Iu others the goods have been removed
from the show windows and replaced
with mourning emblems and devices OF
various kinds, while crepe and white
rosettes are displayed on many Of the
private residences along the streets over
which the funeral procession is to move
to the cemetery.
Business is almost entirely suspended,
most OF the business houses having de
cided to close before Mayor Sullivan is
sued his proclamation. Many industrial
establishments have also suspended opera
tions for the day.

Wide drapings of black run the entire
length OF the ediiice, over the stained

with monster rosettes of white Two
| American flags are draped over the trout

pends a cluster of carnations, roses and
