Turner WON'T DENY
RAILROAD RUM0UR

2 That the Canadian Pacific Railway
company will build a branch line into
Spokane has passed the limits of a
possibility and from the attitude of
those interested may be taken as one
of the positive assurances Of the near
future.
Spokanes business men, manufac-
turers and wholesalers. retailers, min

Spokane's business world gives en-
phatic expression to it's approval.

the reporter, and the answer, Il will
neither deny or confirm it," seemed
to carry conviction.
He further stated that he thought
1t shame that the matter had been
published prematuresly, and his rea-
sons are probably that the railroads
now imbibing the cream of commerce
hereabout may not like to be disturb
ed in their gorging and are likely to
show fight.
Senator Turner will leave on Friday
to take up his duties as United States
senator in the national capital. and
Mrs. Turner will accompany him.

He arrived in the city last night

paraded in Washington before save on
several occasions when president
was to be inaugurated; battalion of
bluejackets from the north Atlantic
squadron, Of which Admiral Sampson
formerly was commander.
The word of command was given,
and the cadets swung into line and,
headed by the Naval academy band,
marched slowly from the Church of
the Covenant, where the exercises were
held, to the residence Of the dead ad-
miral, on New Hampshire avenue,
about half mile away. Here the hon
orary pallbearers were gathered, head
ed by Admiral Dewey. The coffin,
borne on the shoulders Of eight stall
wart sailors from the United States
dispatch boat Dolphin, was placed in
the waiting hearse and escorted to the
church.
Great Crowd at Funeral.
AS many people as the large edifce
possibly could seat were assembled in
the body Of the church. The first pew
to the right of the central aisle was
assigned to the president. The United
States cabinet were in the rear of the
ambassadors, preceding in order the
ministers from foreign countries.
Then came representatives of socie-
ties, uniformed army officers, people of
high social station and also humble
workers in the department bureaus and
the navy yard.
To the left of the main aisle the first
pew was assigned to the mourners, the
members Of the Sampson family and
their closest friends.
The supreme court sat next, and be-
hind them were seated the select COM
mittees from the senate and house of
representatives as we'll as many indi.
vidual senators and representatives.
The funeral was exceedingly simple,
but deeply impressive. At the con-
clusion the remains were escorted to

They are in separate rooms on the

funeral takes place 1t is probable that
the two collins will be placed side by
side while Bishop Burgess Of Long Is

in Brooklyn, knew the Ford family
well. reads the solemn service for tbs
dead.
Friends Of Paul Ford, whose books
have brought pleasure to countless
thousands of persons, in talking Of the
tragic shooting in which Malcolm slew
his brother and then ended his own
unfortunate life, in their grief are
speaking with some pride about the
authors heroism in the face Of death.
Was at Work ON New Novel.
Nothing that he ever wrote has thrill
ed them more than his words, II want
to die bravely," spoken as he lay on
the couch in his library, mortally
wounded and fighting for the life that
was fast ebbing away. Still vigorous
in mind and busy at work on another
novel, Paul Ford's career had hardly
begun, but what he accomplished in
his short life will live long after the
tragedy of his death has been forgot
ten.
Though Malcolm carried revolver
with him when he called on his brother
and made that last fatal demand for
money, the physicians who were called
to the house have thrown the mantle
Of charity over him by declaring he
was mentally unbalanced. That he was
desperate no one can doubt, for his own
financial difficulties and the abundance
possessed by his brother had long prey
ed upon his mind.
Despite his crippled body fortune had
always smiled upon Paul Ford. He
was his fathers favorite and inherited
fortune when his father died. His
writings had brought him fame and an
income that enabled him to crafty his
every wish. More than all of these, he
was happily married, and his life was
filed with hope and happiness.
Fortune had favored Malcolm with
health and splendid physique, but
these, he thought were not sufficient to
overbalance his misfortunes. He was
disinherited by his father. who had
long been estranged from him; his wife
obtained divorce from him, and for
years he had been in financial trouble.
His family hardly noticed him, and life
for him became lonely and much of
struggle.
Messages Of sympathy are pouring
into the Ford house, and scores of in
quiries as to Mrs. Ford's condition are
being received. 1t is said by the family
and friends of the dead authors wife
that they do not despair of her ultimate
recovery from the shock of her hus-
bands death.
