after very distressing illness of nearly
six years. He was born in Charlestown,
Mass, Oct. 8, 1919, being the son of Silas
and Ruth Bryant Field, the sixth of nine
children, three Of whom are living. He re-
ceived his education in his native town,
but early in life began his business career
being in the employ of Bacon & Co., of
Boston, East Indies merchants. At the
age of 16 he went TO sea as supercargo to
East Indies and settled in business in Cal
cutta for several years.
He returned to Boston and was engaged
in the same business until 1857, at which
time he went to China, where he was the
head of the firm known as Field & Co. He
remained here and in Japan until 1864,
since which time his home has been in New
York. Mr. Field was very genial, cour-
teous man and might we'll be called gem
tleman of the old school, He was a mem
Der of the Somerset club of Boston and the
Union club of New York.
He was gentleman of much culture,
having travelled extensively in foreign

here. The funeral was held from his late
residence on Sunday afternoon, Rev. G. +.

SILVER REPUBLICANS WANT
FRANK CANNON REELECTED.
And Seem to Think the Utah Demo-
Gratis Ought to Abandon Their
Own Party and Elect Him-An
Interesting Story.

Washington, D. c., June 26.-(Special
to Denver Republican.)-The entente
between the silver Republican leaders
and leaders of the silver Democrats is
being subjected, just at present, to a
severe strain. so it is reported. This
is due to suspicion on the part of the
former that the latter are not going
to assist in the coming campaign 10 re-
elect Senator Cannon, of Utah.
The silver Republicans are greatly IN
teresIed in Cannon. They wish TO see
him reelected, not only because he is
a silver Republican, but because he IS
ole of the most accomplished speakers
in the senate.
They have informed the silver Demo-
Gratis of their desire to have Cannon
reelected, and since giving such infor-
nation have been waiting for sign
from the leaders of the silver Demoe-
racy, by which they might know that
they could depend on the silver Demo-
Gratis Tor help in the Cannon campaign.
But thus far. save for statement
from Senator Jones that he would he
pleased TO see Cannon reelected, they
have watched for sign in vain, so the
story goes.
Should the looked-for sign be forth

lican representation in the next con-
greSS.

SHOUP AND. CARTER.
Story That They viii Desert the
Goldbugs is Not Credited.

Washington, June 24.-(Special to
Denver Republican).-A story was
printed this morning in a New York
paper saying that Senator'S Carter of
Montana and Shoup of Idaho would
before long jump the Republican party
and join the Silver Republican organ
ization. on the ground that the west
ern men were not receiving any con-
sideration at the hands of the Repub-
licans of the cas- for the sacrifice which
they made in staying with the parry
after the St. Louis convention had r.
clared for gold.
The story is not believed here. In
the first place, both of the senators
mentioned say that there is nothing in
it. but more than that. the Republicans
do not expect any such assertions, AID
the Silver Republicans know that there
is no such intention upon the part of
the Montana and Idaho senators. 1t
is believed that Garter and Shoup are
satisfied with the course they have pur-
sued and have no Intention of joining
the Silver Republicans.

it will never come IL that essential

The scheme has been presented for
the consideration of the city officials
here, and the undertal1ers Immediately
raised a protest as fierce as the har
angue of a campaign orator. 1t meant
ruination TO them, they said. and
would be the first step toward the
formation Of a monopoly which would
eventually control the funerals of the
nation. No trust that was ever formed
would be SO commercially despotic as
this. The Sugar trust. the Tobacco

trusts woulu be insignificant pigmies.

some reason for the calamity howl

such nature and the requirements of
the new system of disposing Of the
dead are so peculiar that the COM
pany's control of the weird monopoly
would he the next thing TO absolute.
At least the undertakers and coffin
manufacturers so regard it, and they
are organizing TO light the threatened
innovation TO the last ditch
The cemetery question IN the Greater
New York has been assuming the pro-
portions of troublesome question for
some time. Within the boundaries Ct
the enlarged city there are so odd
cemeteries, and these are constantly
being enlarged TO meet the require
ments natural with the progress IF
time. The dead in these outnumber
the living population OF 100000 five
TO one.
Recent investigations of the causes
Of disease, by the city's health de-
partment, resulted in the placing of
some of the blame upon the ancient
custom or Dury4ng the dead IN the
earth. 1t Is asserted that this custom
does more toward the propagation OF
disease germs than any other single
agency: that the earth, air and water
are contaminated. and that TO this con
tamination is due all the infectious
diseases with which the surrounding
community is afflicted. Il is also
stated that undeniable statistics show
that mortality and sickness are greater
among people living close TO GENE teries
than in other districts. and This this
single fact is practical evidence of the
danger.
Within the past few years the prob
lem has been discussed a various con-
ventions of physicians. and the same
opinions have been reached. It IS
claimed that the earth was made for
the living. and nos fer the dead: but
that under existing conditions the dead
kill the living. Pure air and pure
water are fundamental necessities to
