A very widespread In terest was shown
in the funeral Of Harry g. Poole, which
took place yesterday from the First Regi-

dreds of people thronged the building by
1 o'clock. and the crowd outside on Market
street was 80 dense that the cars had to
pass at slow pace.
In the center OF the hall stood the oak
casket, draped in the stars and stripes and
almost covered with flowers. Beside it
was a huge floral tribute of roses and

away with our paid choir"
The speaker was Rev. DIR. Coyle, pastor OF
the First Presbyterian Church OF Oakland.
There has been an undercurrent report that
this gentleman was at the head of the move
ment TO get concerted action among all the
leading churches of Oakland to abolish the paid
choir. Continuing DR.. Coyle said: "Of course
tbs matter is all IN the air now. Our fiscal year
does not begin until April, and the present en-
gagements hold till then.
The Issue in question is not altogether an
economic one, as you may be aware. However,
L suppose the leading churches in the central
part OF the city spend from eight TO ten thou
sand dollars annually for their music This is
good deal. For the past year our music ex-
peDses, including the Sunday-schoOl orchestra,

for the coming year as we had during the past"
The First Baptist Church, commencing last
Sunday, abolished all paid music.
The music question among the Baptists pro-
yoked decided division between the older ee-
nent IN the church and the young people. The
ioLmer came out victorious.
The trustees of that church say with Dr.
COyle that the question is not altogether one of
retrenchment. There Is often, very often, in the

Opera-house, where lie was engaged as
carpenter for the Sinbad troupe, but knew
nothing concerning The circumstances at

to the house on Stevenson street Sunday

Howard Morrison, whose statement is

GRATED from the WltneSs-chalr what ne had

Miss Shattuck had come to him on the
Friday Dight preceding the shooting of

Result of the Contests Held Last
Evening.


Evening.
There was spirited betting in the tug-of-w8r
teams that contested at B'nai Birth Hall last
evening. The Danes and Russians were the
first teams TO appear before an appreciatve
audience. The betting was In favor OF the
Danes, who made short work OF their oppO-
nents by winning In 31a minutes. 1t was fully
half an hour after the opening bout when the
Canadian and Swedish teams look hold of the
rope. The Canadians were powerful men, and
their friends lost no time In getting into the
pOol-b0X as much money as they could on
tile result. The Swedes, although much
smaller and lighter men than their opponents,
were a handy and why body of athletes, and
the Canadians had to buckle down 10 bard
pulling TO win a victory, which they did in
severn cen minutes.
The final bout OF the evening resulted In
second defeat for the American team. Their
opponents were the representatives of Norway.
and after most stubborn pull. which lasted
nifty minutes, the NOrwegians conquered the
natives, much TO the surprise OF the SPECTATORS,
who expected 10 see the Americans win rather
easily.
