Georges Episcopal Church over the
body of J. Pierpont Morgan.
But for the prominence of those
who attended the church services
there was nothing about the funeral
ceremonies that would not have at
tended the obsequies Of the most
humble person. There was no display,
no gaping crowds TO watch the taxi
ing of the body To the church.
The service itself was Of compare
tive brevity utterly lacking in pomp
or anything that resembled praise FOR
the de1i fnancier and was i'm exact
accordance with the wish he outlined
iu writing nearly decade ago.
The church was crowded 10 iis

N THAT HE
is A CANDIDATE
DECLARES HE Is NOT y Candle
DATE FOR SENATOR AND DID
NOT RESIGN FOR THAT
PURPOSE.

In the efforts that are being made
10 defeat Dean Sterling for the cleo
ition of United States Senator by the
legislature, men in diff REM parts OF
the state have been mentioned as
candidates likely to accomplish the
desires OF his opponents. Among the
men who have beer mentioned as en-
'tering the field is Hon. u. Il. Wagner,
OF this city, who recently resigned
the position of United States district
attorney, n it is intimated in GER
tain quarters that Mr.. Wagner took
the step at this time in order to be-
come d candidate. Mr.. Wagner makes
strong denial OF this statement, and
asserts With as much positiveness
now as1then chat the only reason for
his resignation was due to the fact
that he was not in harmony with At
torney General Wickersham, who de-
sired Mr.. Wagner's assistance in get
ting a stay of proceedings in the
Chas. l.. Hyde case, the millionaire
who had been sentenced TO a term in
the federal prison. Concerning the
statement made that Mr.. Wagner was
a candidate, he issues the following
interview:
Il noticed a few days ago that the
Sioux City Journal published an art
icle in which the statement was made
that | was a candidate for United
States senator, and that my r~esigna-
ton as United States district attor-
ney was occasioned by my political
aspirations. OF course the whole
matter was made out of whole cloth
with absolutely no authority and
without excuse such publication. l
had no thought of entering any de-
NAL OF the statement, but / see that
certain South Dakota papers have
taken up the story, and in justice to
myself. | should say that ] am not
a candidate and have at no time been
a candidate for the United States
Senate: that it is unjust and unkind
to Inc TO say that my resignation from
the office of United States district
attorney WAS actnaicd by such u mo-
tive"
