BILE or Bronze, According
to Future Plans
FRANCIS MURPHY
He lies in state,
And hearts await
To see his like again;
A son of God,
His love was broad,
Extending to all men.
Soft be his sleep,
Let us not weep,
Remembering his love
That gave his all,
Heard every call
That came to take thereof.
His words of might,
His smile of light
Have reached beyond the sun;
His life's great song
Time shall prOlOng,
His work is but begun.
Rose Reinhardt AnthOn.

Friends of Francis Murphy are plan
ming a memorial to the great temper
ance advocate. whose funeral is to be
held today from Simpson auditorium,
and while plans have not yet been per-
fected it is likely that Frank F. Stone
the celebrated Los Angeles sculptor,
will be commissioned to make bust
of Mr. Murphy, which will then be
given a place of honor in some public
building.
Yesterday Mr.. Stone took a death
mask of the dead mans features for
use in case this plan is carried out.
1t is probable that public subscr1p-
ton will be opened and it has been
suggested that the amount contributed
by each individual be limited to
small sum, the idea being to have the
memorial take the form of a tribute
from Mr.. Murphy's thousands OF
friends, not only in Los Angeles, but
elsewhere.
Mr.. Stone came to Los Angeles sew
eral years ago from London, his repu-
tation already made. In bust portrait
ure probably his best known works are
busts of the late William e. Gladstone
and of Cardinal Manning, he having
been chosen to execute the bust which
was unveiled at the cardinals jubilee
celebration, held short time before
his death. In California, among other
work. Mr.. Stone has executed both a
bronze and a marble bust of Milton L.
Hancock; a bronze of DR.. Bard, brother
of Senator Bard, and bust of Mr..
Claypool. Therefore he is well
equipped for his task, and the men who
will have charge of arrangements for
the memorial feel themselves fortunate
to have been able to secure his services.
Funeral Arrangements
Arrangements for the funeral were
perfected yesterday and it is planned
to make it a mighty testimonial to
man who was known and loved not
alone in his home town of Los An
geles but over the entire EngllsH
speaking world. Between the hours OF
II and 3 the body will lie in state at
Simpson auditorium, attended by a
