ThiyS Annual Session Of Western
Funeral Directors Association
DENVER DELEGATION LATE.
Four days. Meeting Opened tbs
Forenoop.-Morticians Have Mapped
ont Lot OF Work for Themselves.

The fact that the Philippine soldiers
and the western undertakers selected
the same city and the same time In
which to hold their respective reunions
may not have any significance In H.
The charge that they had ever worked
In collision would undoubtedly be
scorned. But the queer coincidence
was especially conspicuous IN the
Knutsford hotel where the undertakers
and the soldiers gathered to register
and where the former are holding their
meetings. OF course the undertakers
feel that their organization takes pre-
cedent over everything else.
The third annual convention OF the
Western Funeral Directors association
should have opened It's first session
this morning at 10 o'clock But the
Denver delegation was q ~ ond
hour in getting to the city and 1t was
after II o'clock before the session was
called to order.
President T. f. Dunn OF Victor Colo
rado presided, but owing to the near
ness OF the noon hour, he suggested
that a recess be taken until l.30 pm.
The suggestion was promptly acted up
on There are now over 100 delegates
In the city and they anticipate having
the most pleasant and profitable meet
ing the association has yet held. IL
viii undoubtedly be the best attended.
The meeting will last four days and
within that time every subject that
pertains In any degree whatever
70 the science Of embalming or other
wise caring for deceased body will be
taken up minutely. There will be DEM
onstratlons along with the lectures so
that every subject VIII be invested with
absorbing interest to the undertakers
A large room of the rotunda Of the
hotel Oh the ground floor has been fitted
UP tastefuly for the meetings.
The undertakers did not come here
TO see the city only. but they came
here to work, and II they carry out
the program they have mapped out
they will be very busy body indeed
One feature about the meeting ana
one which assures the morticians that
they win not have gathered in vain,
Is the lectures that VIII be delivered
By Prof w. p. Hohenschuh OF Iowa
city, Iowa. He Is one OF the most ac-
complished lecturers on the anatomy
