ices were held In all parts OF the city dur
Ing the day and night. At the Coliseum.
where the principal exercises were held,
SO many people applied for admission that

tersalls.
In the afternoon the services were for
school children and all the speakers en-
deavored TO impress upon the young people
the significance of the assassination OF the
president and the condition that actuated
the assassin.
Senator Deliver OF Iowa was the prin-
cipal speaker at the evening meeting lie
said In part: "Thero will be opportunity
enough TO make inquiry into the causes OF
the enormous offcnse against mankind OF
which the president of the United states
was the victim. But it can not be out Of
the way, even at such time rs this, to

society there are thousands OF forces man

of n handful of mlscreants whose names
nobody can pronounce.
