and imposing ceremonies befitting the
interment OF the chief magistrate of the
worlds fair city and his dramatic fate,

to Grassland cemetery today by an inn
mense throng OF sorrowing citizens. All
night long two lines of people passed
steadily by the bier on which the re-
mains lay in state in the city hall cor
ridor. The crowd about the city hall
gradually decreased toward morning, as
those who had stood in line for hours to
get last glimpse OF the familiar fea-
lures passed into the fiower-decked cor
ridor; but the early corners soon
heightened the lines again, and when
finally the time arrived for the begin
ming of the ceremonies of and the day the
doors we're closed, it left vast throng
on the outside debarred of the privilege
of seeing the peaceful features OF the
departed chief executive. How many
thousands looked into the casket during
the "a hours the body lay in state it is
impossible to estimate.
