THE SETTING OF THE SCENE.
To give a funeral of state effectiveness against
the bare settings which Washington offers for
such a ceremony is a problem usually beyond
solution 1t was made doubly difficult to-day
both by the choice of the vast concave of the
! Capitol rotunda FOR the funeral services and
the decision to honor to the letter the law now
on the statute books which forbids the draping
of any public buildings in the customary en-
blems of mourning. AS consequence, except
for the platform on which the dead President S
coffin rested and the coffin ITSELF the great

! lightened background for the funeral scene-a
background absolutely unconventionaized and
cunsuggestive. In such a cavern, too the
! rotunda speech loses all finer shades of en-
phasis and value. Funeral oratory flies aloft

! Brumldi's reliefs For success. therefore. any
ceremony under the great dome OF the Capitol
