Three platoons of police, with of- ficers bringing the total escort up to 40 men, will accompany the remains of the late Policeman Frank A.

The growing belief is that Lowe was try ing out his machine, in the appar ently clear road, when the automo- bile of H.. H. Hamilton flashed across his path from behind bill, board ob-. structing view of the side street.
 Superintendent Birmingham pre- pared an order for the police escort which was given out at the various precincts this afternoon. The escort is made up of patrolmen on night duty, for on account of the unusually large number of visitors expected here on account of the army maneuvers, it is expected that the regular quota do.
 Captains Anderson, Redgate and Began will be in command of the three platoons, and Sergeants BIans- field, Hazel and Prout will act as line men. The funeral services will be held tomorrow at 2 o'clock at the bereaved home, 1891 Park avenue, and 2:3a at St. Augustine's church. The. burial will be in St. MichaePs cemetery.
