AT CLEVELAND
L arge CCncourSe Attends Last Rites
Over Dead Statesman.
PEOPLE EXPRESS SORROW
Many Sobs Heard During Services in
Church Whole City Was For a
Time Totally Silent.

The people of Cleveland, Ohio, paid
homage Friday to the memory OF their
first citizen, the state at large added
it's tribute Of respect, and many citi-
zens. distinguished in private and OIL
cial life in all parts of the country,
lent their presence at the ceremonies
which preceded the consigning to
earth of the remains Of the late sena-
tor.
The last rites over his body were
held at st. Paul Episcopal church.
During the solemn service Cleveland
was a silent city, street railway and
steam traffic on every line in the city
was stopped for five minutes at
o'clock.
Among the distinguished people
present from abroad were ]. Pierpont
Morgan and party, of New York; Gov
ernor Durbin, of Indiana, and staff;
George B. Cox and party OF Cincin-
natl, and a number of business and So
cial friends of the dead senator from
Chicago Detroit, Buffalo, Pittsburg
and New York.
At an early hour the chamber OF
commerce, where the body Of the dead
statesman had lain in state since
Thursday morning, was besieged by
thousands of workmen with their din,
ncr pals, on their way to their daily
toll In such great numbers did they
assemble that many unable to stand
longer in line, were deprived of last
look at the face Of the dead.
Thousands Of visitors who had hoped
to have an opportunity OF passing by
the bier of the dead senator, also aban-
doned the idea when they saw how
hopeless was their chance Of gaining
admission.
At ten O'Clock the members of the
state legislature who recently chose
Mr., Hanna to represent Ohio in the
United States senate drove from their
hotel to the chamber Of commerce in a
body and looked for time upon the
face of the dead ftatesman.
The Washington delegation arrived
at 1920. and they, together with the
personal friends Of the late senator,
were admitted to the chamber of COM
merce between II O'Clock and noon.
The scene at the bier at this time was
strikingly sad
When the doors were closed finally
at noon it was estimated that since
Che face of the late senator had been
exposed to the public sixty thousand
people had looked upon it.
Promptly at noon the funeral corr
tege left the chamber of commerce
building for the church, preceded by
platoon of police and escorted by mill
tary and civic organizations.
Reservations on the centre aisle
were made for the family, governors
staff, the Washington delegation and
other distinguished guests and mem
bers of the state legislature. The
church was filled long before the hour
for the services to commence, and
thousands lined the streets about the
edifice. The church services were
brief, but solemnly impressive, being
interrupted at times by sobs from all
parts Of the church.
Immediately on the close of the SER
vice the body, accompanied by the
family, pallbearers and Bishop Leon
ard, proceeded slowly out Euclid ave-
nue. to Lake View cemetery, where a
final farewell Of the dead was taken IN
Wade Memorial chapel. The service
consisted simply of prayer by the
bishop.
The body was deposited in a crypt
in the chapel to await burial at the
pleasure of the family.
