THOUSANDS At FUNERAL
OF BIG TIM SULLIVAN
East Side Pays Eloquent Trib-
ute to Political Leader
and PhiIanthropist.

NEW YORK, September 15.-.Big
Tim" Sullivan passed through the
streets Of the East Side for the last
time today. His body was taken this
morning to the old Cathedral OF St
Patrick. a short quarter of a mile from
the rooms Of the association bearing
his name. where 1t had lain in state
since Saturday afternoon. Tens OF
thousands of men and women from every
section OF New York had gased on his
features there, and a throng such as
only the East Side can furnish followed
1t today to the cathedral and to its
last resting place in Calvary cemetery,
Brooklyn.
A delegation OF congressman. headed
by Representative Kinkead Of New
Jersey, led the mourners. Behind this
delegation marched the longest funeral
train the East Side has ever seen. The
streets through which they passed were
somber with crepe on the shop windows.
The Timothy D; Sullivan association
sent Its f Inc to march behind the
with a bit Of crepe on his sleeve, over
the long dusty way to the cemetery.
Dozens of other East Side crganiza tons
and the army Of the Bowery poor also
were in the line.
Many Weep at Coffin.
Seldom has the East Side incurred
more eloquently. In the army that pass
ed by his bier as the body lay In state
men In silk hats rubbed shoulders with
Bowery tramps, and women in silk and
furs mingled with their poorly clad
sisters from the. tenements. Many wept
as they passed the coffin.
On all sides were heard expressions OF
vet "a IA ri m al q n
which almost sent his body to a pauper's
grave.
From early morning yesterday a con-
tinuous stream Of men and women from
the East Side, from the more fashion
able parts of the city and from out of
town filed by the coffin to look for q
last time on the face Of the man who In
life was respons Bile for many charities
and acts Of political assistance that add
ed to their fortunes In one way or an.
other. Pictures Of the dead leader are
displayed In store windows and many
bui. dings are draped In black
