Quiet Ceremony
Is Planned For
Mallory Funeral

In accordance with Senator Mallory's 8
special request no Congressional com
mittee Will be appointed to attend his
funeral. Senator Mallory was an un-
ostentatious man and did not desire a
great funeral or that his final obsequies
be accompanied by any unusual eere-
mony. His wish that no committee be
appointed was conveyed to Washington
last night in a dispatch from his ply
sician, DR.. 3. I. Kennedy, to Amos E
Lewis. Senator Mallory's secretary.
This dispatch read: THE Senator is
dying. Notify Talliaferro. Notify the
sergeant-at-arms. Express wish that no
committee be appointed"
Ordinarily a large committee, consist
ing Of the members Of the delegation
from the State and various colleagues,
would be appointed by the Vice Presi-
dent and Speaker. 1t is understood.
however, that Senator Mallory, knowing
many Of the Senators had gone home
for the holidays. did not desire that
they be called upon for a service Of
this kind. There have been a few cases
il which Senators have made similar
c-ag@sts as TO their funerals. but in
he great majority OF cases committees
are appointed. The late Senator Cor
man on his death bed requested that
no state funeral be held and that the
ceremony be conducted quietly.
