CLEVELAND WILL SHOW
ITS LOVE FOR HANNA

CLEVELAND, Feb. 16.-At a conference
of representative citizens held in the city
hall this afternoon it developed that the
funeral of Senator Hanna is likely to be one
of the most magnificent displays of affec-
ton that has ever been shown an individual.
Veterans of the civil war, wOrkingmen
Spanish-American veterans and perhaps all
of the several military companies OF the
city will participate in the funeral process
sion. During the time the body remains in
the Chamber of Commerce Auditorium the
guard of honor will be alternately of civil
war veterans and members of the Fifth reg
iment.
Senator Hanna was a comrade in Memoir
ial Post, CT. A. r., and that organization
Will be prominent in the funeral procession.
TIL proffer of military assistance 10 main
tain order was respectfully declined by
Mayor Johnson, who is confident that the
local police authorities and force is ample
for the occasion.
No formal invitations Will be sent to any
organization to participate in the funeral
procession, but all those which wish TO do so
will be permitted to.
The representative of the United Trades
and Labor Council, Mr.. Hasseniue, stated
that undoubtedly thousands of workingmen
would be part of the funeral escort: Ad-
mission to st. Paurs Church will be by
card.
A pathetic incident in connection with the
bringing home of the body OF Senator
Hanna is that he will not be taken TO the
family home, nor to that Of his son, but
will be in the hands of the COMMITTEES Of
public men from the time it arrives in the
city until the final ceremony In Lakeview
Cemetery.
