New York.-Simple but imposing. reverent and mournful best describes the funeral procession of J. Pierpont Morgan and the plain and beautiful service fin St Georges Protestant Episcopal Church. Stuyvesant square.
 So unpretentious funeral for man of Morgsns riches, his achievements, his renoWn, never before has been seen in this city. The master mind that in life had controlled millions had planned to his liking with the same severity of detail how he should be carried to his grave.
 Only 45 miutes elapsed between the time the heavy coffin, covered by an enormous blanket of red Richmond roses, MT. Morgan's favorite flower, and ivy, was borne into the church at 10 o'clock, and borne out, followed by the long line Of members of the Morgan family.
 Al the end of the service the body of John Pierpont Morgan was borne away to Hartford to lie beside his father. Thousands and thousands of flowers sent by friends were scattered among hospitals That also was his wish.
 h the personnel of the company of 1,500 that filled the church, while many times 1,500 waited in the park and behind police lines in the street. the occasion was probably unparal- leled.
 Three bishops from three other States-Greer of New York. Law renee of Massachusetts. Brewster of Connecticut were officiating minis ters Senator Elihu Root and Joseph H. Choate led the honorary pal1bear- CTS.
 The body was carried at 30 a m. from the library in East 36th street, where it had lain since the arrival of the steamship France. The hearse bore no plumes nor were the two black horses that drew it caprisoned
 Mounted policemen rode down Madi- son avenue. cleaying a way for the procession From Madison avenue the route was through East 24th street, Lexington avenue. East 2lst street. Second avenue and into Stuyvesant Square at 17th street, to St. Georges Church.
 The twelve honorary pallbearers were Senator Root. Joseph H. Choate. George s, Bowdoin. Lewis Cass Led yard Robert w. de Forest, Henry Fairfield Osborn. Robert Bacon. Dr. James w. Markoe. George F. Baker. Ebert H. Gary, Morton S Patton and Seth Low.
 Behind these twelve the coffin was carried up the aisle, followed by J. P. Morgan, Jr.. with his mother, leading the Morgan family
 The service lasted three-quarters of an hour. The absence of eulogy or sermon at the request of the banker accounted for this. The benediction was said by Bishop Brewster of Con- necticut
 At 1905 o'clock the procession moved from St Georges Church to the Grand Central Station by way of Lexington avenue.
 The body of Mir. Morgan was taken to Hartford in funeral car attached to a special train which carried the members of the family. the honorary pallbearers, a few intimate friends and number of the financier's business associates The train left at 1145 o'clock and arrived in Hartford at 215 D. m.
 All along the way tributes of respect were paid to Mir Morgan's memory. Flags were at half-mast and industries came to a standstill while the funeral train passed In Hartford factories had closed down and the public schools were not in session.
