FUNERAL FLOWERS
PUT UNDER BAN BY
PRIEST; TOO COSTLY

NEW HAVEN, CONN, Sept. "a
Finding that the practice of giving
flowers at funerals has led his parish
toner's into debt, Rev Father Walter
Stanley, pastor of ST Peters. in Dan
bury. today issued orders forbidding it.
Money spent for flowers sent to fu-
nerals might much better be expended
for other uses" said the priest. Many
times bills are contracted for floral
tributes which it is difficult to pay for
months, and which are finally paid only
at the sacrifice of personal discom-
fort"
Some time ago Father Stanley for
babe members of his parish bringing
funeral flowers into the church, but this
warning failed to produce the desired
effect.
Rev. John Coyle. pastor of St. Johns
church in this city. said that he had al
ready taken similar, although not such
radical, action.

From all parts of the hall the rival
yells burst forth The music from the
band up near the roof of the great hall
was drowned in the cries from the we'll
drilled delegations
The band swung into Dixie. and the
Taft negro delegates from Florida
climbed up on their chairs and sang. AS
the song ended they shouted a yell of de-
fiance at the Roosevelt delegates from
New jersey. seated across the aisle.
A moment later the Jerseyites returned
the yell as the band struck up Marching
Through Georgia" A scattered cheer
greeted the song.
Texans Urged to Stand Firm.
Charles p Taft. brother of the Presi-
dent. visited the Texas delegation and
asked them to ''sit firm in the boat" He
also visited several other delegations and
urged them not to be affected by Roose-
Welt cheers
Pennsylvania s big delegation. standing
on chairs and waving hats, punctuated
the air at 11:4O with a round cheer for
State Senator William Finn. followed by
a we'll executed Roosevelt yell.
What's the matter with Senator
FHnn?'' called a big voice as Finn ap
peared on the stage.
He's all right shouted the Pennsyl-
vania chorus.
Then followed the Roosevelt yell:
"Hooray. hooray.
Pennsylvania.
Roosevelt, Roosevelt.
Ray. ray, ray.
West Virginia answered Pennsylvania
with yells for Teddy" and the Jersey
ties. climbing on the chairs, joined the
cheering.
At ten minutes of IL practically all of
the delegates were on the floor. but many
of them either had not located or had not
taken their seats. The aisles were choked
and there was much confusion.
The hall was q veritable babel. Above
the roar Of the conversation, of calls and
wells the big band from it's lofty perch
kept pouring out more or less mournful
tunes.
Called to Order at IL :O2.
Chairman Victor Rosewater began
pounding for order at 1902 pm. The
band was droning away at the time and
it was with some difficulty that the mu-
sicians could be induced to desist. Final
iy they did so. and then Sergeant alarms
Stone called for his assistants to clear
the aisles.
Officers, please assist" he said. turn
ing to the hundred or more bluecoats in

"Sit down; sit down" cried the people
in the gallery, who were anxious for the
proceedings to begin.

guard, led the attack on the aisle crowds.
He was acting as an assistant sergeant
alarms. Meantime Chairman Rosewater
took an occasional whack on the table
with his gavel.
The effort to secure order was in
terrupted by the appearance through
a side door of big transparency car
ried by the La Toilette delegates from
Wisconsin. A cheer swept the hall as
the sign was carried across before the
stage.
Sharp and clear came the Wisconsin
yell. and it led another round OF
cheers:

CalKornias yell again punctuated
the air, terminating with it's Eat EN-

welt. Roosevelt wow"
Senator Dixon was busy making last
sounding OF the Roosevelt forces while
the sergeants-at-arms sought to clear the
aisles. He was aided by Cows. Deneen of
Illinois and Hadley OF Missouri
The packed aisles Yielded slowly to the
pressure and every now and then the
sergeants-at-arms would advance and
megaphone. every one must get out OF
the aisles.
From the rear of the floor and the gal
lery came a sweeping yell of Louder,
louder. We can't hear YOU"
Then series of shrill whistles rang
through the hall and scattered delega-
tons began to yell:
Teddy. Teddy"
From the other side of the hall came a
harsh shrill yell of "Oh. you Bill Taft .
A running fire OF yelling marked the
effort to secure order. but it gradually
faded out as the police cleared the way.
Hard to Obtain Order.
I, was difficult to obtain even a SEM
biance of order.
"Heffelfinger. stop them coming up that
aisle" called out Col Stone.
I'll do it,. shouted the former Yale
guard. throwing himself at the head of
the oncomng stream.

voice and a megaphone.

paper. and a quorum manifestly being

The introduction of the clergyman was

was short. During its delivery Mr..

Many delegates murmured the Lord 8
