Short and Impressive mt
Church and Cemetery.

Church and Cemetery.
The fueral of William n. Jackson, held
yesterday at 2 p. m. at the Second Presby-
terrain Church, was one of the most simple
and impressive ceremonies ever witnessed
i'm indianapolis. The brief services were in
accord with the Instructions given by Mr..
Jackson before his death. The service
opened with a short prayer by the Rev.
Mr.. Osgood, of the Mayfower Church,
which was followed by the singing of
Hymn S63.

With ev'ry blessing meet,
1 give Thee thanks for ev'ry drop,

Ii the instructions left by Mr.. jackson
relative to his funeral he expressed the
wish that the thirty-fourth Psalm or the
twelfth chapter of Romans be read. Fol-
lowing his wish the Rev. Joseph A. Mil
burn, pastor OF the Second Presbyterian
Church, read the twelfth chapter of Ro-
mans, after which came a prayer by the
Rev. M. l.. Haines. the services closing
with the benediction pronounced by the
Rev. Mr.. Milburn.
The services at the cemetery were equally
simple. consisting solely of a short commit
ment service, a prayer and the benediction
by the Rev. Mr.. Milburn.
The Second Presbyterian Church was
filled to the doors with the friends of Mr..
Jackson, among whom were many railroad
men in the service of the Union Railway
Company and the Belt Railroad. There
were a number of railway officials from
other cities present, but the attendance of
many was prohibited by the early funeral,
held in accordance with Mr.. Jackson's
wishes. John w. Renner, controller of the
Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, who
was a warm personal friend of the de-
ceased. was one of the attending officials.
The bier was covered with flowers. most
of them red and white carnations, the
tributes of his friends. At the head was a
large floral design with the Inscription
From the Indianapolis Union Railway
Company"
Following the expressed wishes of the
Union Railway management, all employees
of the company stopped work yesterday at
. d. m, the hour of Mr.. Jackson's funeral.
and as a mark of respect remained at rest
for q period of ten minutes.
The death of Mr.. jackson has caused the
recital of probably mere "reminiscences
thar has the death of any other citizen in
the last few years. There was hardly a
person who knew him who had not seen
little acts of kindness of which no one else
knew. for he was continually doing little
things for those who We're in trouble or i'll
and keeping the knowledge OF them to him
self.

Days-The Funeral OF Will
liam ~. jackson.

Mason J. Osgood, seventy-four years Of
age, died yesterday morning at his home
at 1147 North Meridian street. after an ILL
ness of only a few days. On Wednesday
last he returned from his office i'll, and
gradually grew worse, suffering greatly, I'M
til his death.
Mr.. Osgood was one of the best known
of the older citizens of indianapolis. He
was bern in Sullivan, n. H., in 1926, and
after living on a farm, during which time
he attended the district schools, he went
to Gardiner, Mass. where he engaged in
the manufacture of chairs, building up a
successful business.
He came in 1869 to Indianapolis, which
was afterward his home. His first business
venture here was in the lumber business,
having associated with him his brother-in-
law, George +. Adams, the firm name being
Adams & Osgood. This partnership was
maintained until 1889. since which time Mr..
Adams died, leaving a widow and one
daughter. Mrs. Lydia Lewis. After his
retirement from the lumber business Mr..
Osgood devoted his time TO the manage
ment OF various large interests, among
which was the care of a large land acreage
within the city limits, and also overseeing
the management of the Sheridan brick
works, of which company he was president.
He was prominently connected with the
Second Presbyterian Church, and was one
Of the trustees of the Marion Trust Com
pany and also of the University of In
dianapoiis. He was also connected in Off
cial capacities with a number of other in
stitutions, in which he took much interest.
His home, on North Meridian street, has
been occupied by him for more than
twenty-five years. He leaves one daughter,
Ida Osgood, a sister. Mrs. Roxanna Minis,
of Keene, n. H., and a nephew, c.. w. Os-

A SETTLEMENT REACHED
BREWERY EMPLOYEES OF ALL
GRADES TO BE UNIONIZED.
A Resolution Before Central Labor
Union That Provoked Much
Discussion.

A settlement between the union of the
brewery drivers, stablemen and bottlers,
and firemen and engineers with the
Brewers Association was reported at Gen.
trail Labor Union last night by President
Blue and Organizer John L. Feltmann. BY
the settlement all departments of the brew
cries are to be organized and placed un-
der the jurisdiction of the United Brewery
Workers Union. The agreement also gives
the men a substantial increase in wages
besides a reduction in hours. The new
scale of the city route drivers is $40 a
week, and runs on down to $40 a week for
stablemen and helpers. The engineers Sc
cured an dvanc of from s12 to SIS a week
in addition TO a reduction in hours from
twelve to eight hours a day. 1t is regarded
by both sides as a satisfactory agreement
and governs all breweries and agencies in
the city.
Another matter relating to beer was
brought up in the central body that caused
considerable discussion. A resolution was
introduced ordering the secretary to COM
municate with the Indiana representatives
in Congress TO use their influence in secur-
ing the passage of a bill to take the tax
off of beer. Beer was referred TO as the
'laboring mans favorite beverage" Dele
gate Kerr, of the Typographical Union,
Immediately opposed the resolution, saying
it was ridiculous, that beer is a luxury
and that the delegates should be voting
to take the tax off of sugar and household
necessities instead of liquor. Delegate Nc
Clure, of the Carpenters, followed with
a short speech in which he said IL was
deplorable that such a resolution should
come before that body. He said liquor was
a curse instead of a blessing and ended
by saying Il am ashamed that any man
in this body should introduce such a reso-
lution-take off the tax on the 'laboring
mans favorite beverage and leave ii on
things we and our families need. 1 am
in for making the tax higher on beer, if
anything" His remarks were received
with clapping of hands and expressions of
approval. The resolution was tabled.
The rest of the meeting was taken up
with minor and routine business.

CHINESE SMUGGLING.

Montreal Is the headquarters of
Chinese smuggling from Canada to the
United States. The Canadian Pacific
railway. by means of its steamers and
Its limited transcontinental express,
keeps pouring the Celestials into the
city. and the Chinese companies keep
showing them out across the line ut a
good round sum per head. to be paid in
weekly installments when the travellers
have succeeded In establishing them
selves in some United States town. The
company patronizcs two different
classes OF people to carry out their
schemes successfully. The more ad-
vanced patronize the Border Snug
Cling Trust" As 1. is known, and
which 10 said to consist of number of
United States border lawyers and Chi
nese interpreters. These people agree
for certain stipulated sum to see all
the Cinnamon which their employers
may send safely to the United States.
with the proviso. however. that they
are to suffer a short time of pre-
liminary Imprisonment The consign-
ors are to send one or more photo
graphs Of the men shipped and. with
the aid OF these, spurious relatives are
faxed up. who at the proper time are
brought forward to swear that the man
who was arrested wi IN he entered the
United States has lived there for years,
and has only been on trip to China
Their testimony is backed up by the
mans certificate, which. however. is
not his. but belonging to n man who
actually has gone to China and eas
sent back his certificate. The fact that
to the American nearly all Cinnamon
look alike facilitates this fraud. Often
certificates are short and their scarcity
compels even the mo advanced rep
resentatives OF the CT inese companies
to turn to the men who still carry on
the smuggling business in the old ro-
mantle style, with all the dangers at
tending the work. Men and women are
engaged in this, and the Cinnamon
are sometimes driven and sometimes
railroaded into this co ntry in dis
guise. Whole freight car by some pri-
vate arrangement have t. times been
chartered for the purpose of smuggling
in whole crowds of Chinamcn at the
same time but driving is considered the
safest way.
