FUNERAL SERVICES ARE HELD
IN PRESENCE OF THOUSANDS.
President Taft, His Cabinet, Senators
and Officials OF Washington
Attend EnmaSse.

Utica, n. Y, Nov. 9. - From the
First Presbyterian church of this city,
the funeral of James Schoolcraft
Sherman was held today at 2 o'clock.
The obsequies were attended by Presi-
dent Taft, his cabinet, many senators
and most of the leading officials Of
Washington. Never before has the
city of Utica mourned q death with
such unanimity, as was shown when
the last rites were said at the bier Of
the foremost citizen of Utica.
The body was placed in a heavy
mahogany casket last night and was
removed from the Sherman home at
2:30 O'Clock. There was an honorary
escort to the courthouse while the
procession was protected from iDtru-
sion by two companies of the national
guard. The public generally was in
vited to accompany the cortege. At
8 o'clock Friday, the body was re-
turned to the family residence, there
10 rest for the last hight.
More than three thousand persons
crowded in for the services. Hun.
dreds who were unable to gain en-
cemetery, to which place the body
was taken Immediately after the
church obsequies. The services were
conducted by the Rev. Mr.. Louis II.
Holden, pastor of Christ's church,
where Mr.. Sherman held member
ship. Rev. NJ w. Stryker, president
Of Hamilton college, OF which the de-
ceased was graduate, assisted Rev.
Holden.
Shortly after noon, short services
were held at the Sherman residence
for the immediate family and nearest
friends. The grief of those closest to
him, showed that if Mr.. Sherman was
Sunny jim" to his business and pol
itlcal companions. he was giving the
outside world but a glimpse Of the
really kindly disposition and loving
nature which relatives and family en-
joyed.
The services over, the long pro-
cession moved to the beautiful Bah
cock Mausoleum, which is fttingly
situated in the most attractive part
OF Forest Hill cemetery. The Mauso-
leum was completed but recently and
is the resting place of the mother Of
the late vice president. Here, while
the vast multitude of Mr.. Sherman S
friends, neighbors, and official COM
panions and colleagues stood with
barred heads, the final tribute was
padthe last rites were said. AS
this final scene was being enacted
many a moist eye evidenced the fact
that James Schoolcraft Sherman was
more than prominent figure in the
political world-he was a man whom
all could love.

HADLEY IS FAVOR|TE.
EIGHTEEN OF REPUBLICAN MA
TIONAL COMMITTEE DECLARE
FOR MlSSOURiAN.
FEW OTHERS MENTIONED
Members Unable to Meet, But Nctty
Chairman Hilles-Not
Enough Time for
Session.

New York. Nov. 5.-Eighteon out
of twenty-four members of the Re
publican national committee who nave
notified Chairman G. d. Hilles of their
choice of vice presidential candidate
to succeed the late James 5. SheT-
man, favor Governor Hadley of MIS-
souri,.
In a statement here Chairman IIiiles
declared that no selection would be
made by the national committee until
Nov II, but he made public the de-
sires of the twenty-fOur committee
men who have openly stated their
choice. OF these, aside from the ma
jority for Governor Hadley, two ia
vored John Wanamaker of Philadel-
phia; one, Secretary Of War Stimson;
one, Congressman S. w. Mccall Of
Massachusetts; one, Justice Hughes,
and one, Governor Goldsborough OF
Maryland.
Members Cannot Meet.
The suggestion that members Of the
Republican national committee should
authorize the executive committee or
the chairman Of the committee to
nominate a candidate for vice presi-
dent to fill the vacancy caused by the
death Of Mr. Sherman, is not feasible
and therefore has not received favor
able consideration" said MIR. Hilles.
1t has already been made clear that
it would have been a physical impoS-
sibility for the members Of the com
mittee to attend meeting prior to
election day, there not being sufficient
interim between the death of the
vice president and election day for
the committee to convene. Proxies by
wire would not have been legal and
action based on such proxies would
have been an unwarrantable innova-
ton and would have established a
dangerous precedent
A majority OF the members Of the
committee have, however, publicly
expressed their choice for candidate.
While a member of the committee
from the state Of Idaho has not given
voice to his views, the Republican
state committee of Idaho has recon-
mended the selection of Governor
Herbert S. Hadley of Missouri.

COURT RULE CHANGE
GRANTING OF PRELIMINARY IN
FUNCTIONS WITHOUT NO.
TICE is PROHIBITED.
CHANGES ARE NUMEROUS
hiqh Tribunal Also Restricts Issuance
Of Temporary Restraining
Orders-Other
Charges.

Washington, Nov. Gin promulgating
ing the first revision of equity rules Of
federal courts in the last so years, the
supreme court of the United States
prohibited the granting of preliminary
injunctions without notice and re-
stricted the granting of temporary re-
straining orders. The court embodied
in the new rule many of the points of
the Cloyton anti-injunction bill, for
which labor leaders have been fight
ing, which has passed the house and
waits in the senate.
Instead Of temporary restraining or
ders being issued without notice upon
presentation to federal Judge Of gen.
eral allegations that immediate and ir-
reparable damage is about TO be in
flicted. the new rule requires that it
must be shown by specific facts, set
forth in affidavits or otherwise, that
such damages will result.
Hearing Within Ten Days.
When temporary restraining or
der is issued, hearing on the injunc-
ton must be given within ten days.
Heretofore, no time limit was fixed
by the rules, and often not by the
courts. The court went still further
and provided that those restrained
may come into court within two days,
and be heard with expedition on mo-
ticn to dissolve the restraining order.
The new rules do not require those
procuring the restraining order to
give a bond, or the Judge to set forth
in the order his reason for granting
II. These were provisions in the Clay
ton bill.
Chief Justice White did not refer to
the anti-injunction rule in announcing
the changes in the old rules, but did
emphasize the statement that the re-
vision was designed to simplify pro-
cedure and remove delays and reduce
cost. The antique form Of pleading is
abrogated in the new rules for the
modern forms Of code states;
Judges are required. with few eXcep-
tions. 10 take testimony in court in.
stead of appointing referees to do
SO; and appellate courts authorized
more generally 10 dispose of suits in
stead Of reversing on immaterial er-
rors.

REFUSE TO INTERVENE
Powers Say Turkey Must Settle with
States.

London, Nov. 5.-With the Bull
garian army hammering away at the
Ottoman forces almost under the walls
Of Constantinople and with Turkeys
admission of defeat and her appeal to
the powers to mediate, the danger Of
general European clash over the
near eastern situation has become
acute.
special cabinet session was held
at which the Porte's request for media
ton by the powers was the sole topic
of discussion. No conclusion was
reached. A message was read from
Sir Gerard Lowther, British ambassa-
dor in Constantinople, saying the
Turkish government begged the
powers TO act with the greatest haste.

CAR SHORTAGE RELIEF.
Interstate Commerce Warns Rail.
roads Of Menacing Conditions.

Washington. Nov. 5.-Shortage OF
freight cars, the menace of coal famine
and industrial paralysis in some parts
of the country has become SO serious
that the interstate commerce commits
sion has proposed to shippers and
railroads drastic recommendations for
its relief, with thinly yelled intima-
tion that should they fail to remedy
the situation. the commission itself
would find a way to do so.
The car shortage is said to have
been found TO be due in part to delay
in unloading cars, the slow movement
OF freight cars and failure of railroads
them.

MAY REPEAT HIS CONFESSION
CORONER'S INQUEST OVER BODY
OF SLAIN BALTIMORE GIRL.
Chicago Circus Clown Who Admits
Deed Remains
Cheerful.

Chicago, Nov. 5.-Charles Newton
Kramer, circus clown. acrobat and
high diver, who confessed to having
killed Miss Sophia Gertrude Singer Of
Baltimore, Md, it is believed. will re-
peat his tragic story of the murder to-
day when the coroners inquest over
the body Of the victim is resumed.
Mrs. Kramer, who gave the police
the first definite information that her
husband killed Miss Singer. and sew
eral others also will testify. Kramer
and his wife are being held at a South
Side police station without bail.
Kramer. who has a wooden leg, con-
tinues to jest about his predicament
and seems in jolly mood
Under the law they can't hang a
man with a wooden leg in this state"
he said.
How is that?" inquired a police
officer.
Because the law states a rope must
be used,' the prisoner replied with a
laugh.
Police Captain Nootba had Kramer
before him in his private office for
more than an hour Sunday.
Before he would affiX his signature
to the confession he had made, Kra-
mer insisted on making number Of
unimportant changes. He made the
correction in his own handwriting and
over each change he inserted his ini-
tials in order, as he expressed 1t, that
the police could not put anything
over on him.
The police will endeavor to show
that Miss Singer was the victim OF a
premeditated robbery. In support of
this theory, the police point out that
the clothes line which Kramer used to
bind Miss Singer was taken from the
back yard at o'clock in the evening,
several hours before the murder was
committed His explanation of this
is that his wife asked him to get the
clothes line SO that she might dry
some clothes in their room.
