HOAR'S MEMORY
Loving Nation Joins With
City of Worcester in It's
Grief at Senator's Death
SOLEMN SERVICES HELD
Eulogy Delivered by Rev.
DIR. Hale-Remains to Be
Buried To-Day in Concord
SOLEMN SERVICES HELD

WORCESTER, Mass, Oct 3.-The
city OF Worcester to-day bowed be-
side the body of her foremost citizen,
George Frisbie Hoar, while the State
Of Massachusetts,, and in large meas
ure the nation, sympathized with the
municipality in her grief.
Rev. DR.. Edward Everett Hale,
chaplain Of the United States Senate
and lifelong friend OF Senator Hoar.
conducted prayers at the home just
before 2 o'clock. Only members OF
the immediate household and a few
neighbors attended this service. The
body was then placed in the hearse
by the active pallbearers, all the pres
ent or past secretaries Of the Senator,
and the honorary pallbearers, Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, T. Jefferson
Coolidge. Charles Francis Adams, At
tcrney General William II. Moody, for
mer Governor Murray Crane, General
William F. Draper, Judge Francis c.
Lowell Of Boston, Colonel George H.
Lyman Of Boston, Stephen Salisbury,
Henry A Marsh, DR.. G. Stanley Hall
and William z. Rice of Worcester.
The active bearers and the family es-
cOrted the remains TO the Church Of
the Unity.
The militia force OF the city, four
companies of infantry and a battery
of light artillery under arms were sta
toned in the streets TO aid the police
in handling the greatest crowd ever
seen in the city. AS the hearse passed,
every man barred his head and many
women sobbed.
The capacity Of the church is 500,
and il was necessary to limit the at
tendance to representatives Of organ
izations TO which the Senator belonged
and TO one person for each municipal
ity. The city of Worcester had its
Mayor for its only official representa-
tive at the service. The delegation
from the United States Senate and
House of Representatives and the rep
resentatives Of the State Of Massachu-
setts filed one-sixth~of the seating ca
pacity.
Rev, DR.. Hale, who was the first
pastor of the Church of the Unity, and
Rev. Rush r. Shipper, the second pas
tor, now of Brockton, Mass, ofhciated
at the church. DR.. Hale delivered the
eulogy. At the conclusion of the serv-
ice the body was conveyed to the City
Hall, where IL will lie in state. To-
morrow the remains will be taken TO
Concord for burial.
Thirty-five thousand people passed
through the City Hall and viewed the
body between 4:3O and $3.50 tonight.
The four hours allotted for this cere-
mony proved inadequate and an ex-
tension of an hour was made
Fifty thousand people massed in
front Of the City Hall and adjacent
ways and many cases Of fainting
women were noted. Police ambulances
carried nineteen persons from the
crush TO their homes and others were
cared for in rhn C,itv Hall
