HUNDREDS GATHER
| TO SHOW RESPECT
Very Impressive Ceremony al
the Temple and at the
Tomb.

q A In life, so in death, Paul Neumann
was surrounded. Never before in many
Years has there been such a turnout
IN do honor to the mortal remains Of a
n-fvste citizen as that which marked
Yesterday as the funeral day of the well
beloved lawyer and universal friend.
Little business was done in official cir
cles Yesterday. The courts adjourned
as quickly as they opened and the Leg
stature took recess, while the heads of
lie various departments attended the
obsequies officially and practically in
body.
The funeral services, the impressive
ritual of the Masonic order being fol-
lowed, were held at the Masonic Tenn
pie. The time set for the service was
o'clock, but before that hour had ar
rived there were about the hall more
than enough people to fill it and fill the
adjoining Railways, as well. The throng
Included not only members Of the craft
but many Of the people best known in
the citys social and business life, many
ladies being in the crowded reception
room awaiting the opening OF the great
hall.
When finally the temple was ready for
the visitors and the opening of the por-
tails disclosed the Grand Master, Will
liam Il. Wright, surrounded by Past
Grand Masters OF the lodge, w. A. AL
ler. ", H, Cornwell, W. A. Graham and
others, there was no delay in filing 1t,
and not until the chairs from all the
adjacent rooms OF the building had been
fequisitioned was the floor OF the hall
filled, and even then the standing
Ihrong was greater than the seated one.
Tue space before the altar of the room
was reserved, space being for the
mourners and bier for the casket. Be-
Iore the arrival of the funeral process
sion from the late residence floral offer
ings began to be displayed. Set pieces
and wreaths, punches of roses and car
nations mingled their costly and home
fragrance, but each told the story Of
q loving message from one who had
hhoWn and loved the CHEEKY cosmopo-
lite
Al the house the body had been TAX
