SCOTT MEMORIAL
HELD BY ENGLISH
King George in Crowd That
Overfiows Great st. Paul
Cathedral.
AMERICA REPRESENTED
"Fsoek Of Ases@-and Dead March From
"sauI" Among Musical
Numbers.

London, Feb. 1.-THE British ma
tion today paid it's last sad respects to
the memory of Captain Robert F.
Scott and his heroic companions who
died in the wilds of the Antarctic after
reaching the south pole. A great me-
mortal service, held in the Cathedral
of st. Paul, in the center of the metrop
oils, was attended by people from ev-
cry walk of life from King George, in
the uniform of admiral of feet, down
to common laborers. The king, sur
rounded by his brilliantly uniformed
staff, occupied seat beneath the great
dome. Other parts of the cathedral
were filed with the general public to
the fullest extent of the accommoda-
ton.
THOUSANDS TURNED AWAY.
The royal party comprised represen-
tatives of Queen Mother Alexandra
and of the Duke of Connaught. Pre-
mier Asquith, cabinet ministers, mem
bers of the foreign diplomatic corps,
including Secretary Laughlin of the
United States embassy, were present.
Hours before noon, the time set for
the singing of the first hymn, Rock
of Ages" the police began regretfully
to turn away thousands, who could not
even get within view of the doors of
the cathedral. The services, simple
but solemn, included playing of the
dead march from Saul" in which the
great cathedral organ was accompan-
led by military band.
BLUEJACKETs ATTEND.
Vast crowds stood uncovered out
side the cathedral A great number
of British bluejackets were present
inside and outside.

dunno TO MAKE
SELECTIONS SOON

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 14.-By the
first of March Governor Dunno will
be ready to announce long list of
appointments to various positions of
Importance in the state departments.
He says that a number of resigna-
tions have been sent to him by re-
publican incumbents, and in each case
he has asked the incumbent to remain
until further notice.
The places, therefore, are available
at any time the executive decides to
fill them.
The governor will not announce the
list of designations now. He does not
wish to embarrass the incumbents, but
also he does not wish to advertise
the places that are to be filled immed-
lately and thus bring on himself an
avalanche Of applications.
l. 1t is known that some of the resig.
nations that have gone to the execu,
tive were sent in because the incum'
bent had a pretty clear idea that he
is slated for dismissal.
So far as is known, no employees un-
der civil service have been disturbed
by the governor and he has told a
number of applicants for positions un.
der the merit system that he would
not fill them. The applicants have not
been discouraged, however, and some
of the better playing places are being
sought with great eagerness.

struck the girl.
MAY CHANGE GRAFT CASE.
The tragedy may have an import
ant bearing on the graft investiga-
ton being pushed by the district at
torney. With Purcelle in a cell
charged with homicide, his testimony,
which resulted in the suspension of
two police captains. may be invali-
dated.
Purcelle one time was a partner
OF Gambler Rosenthal, for whose muir
der Lieutenant Becker and four gun
men are in the death house at Sing

today he had been Stunned by his
