TO pay their last respects and to look
upon the Mayors face.
No one can even guess how many will
pass through the City Hall in those four.
teen hours. The funeral committee and
the police officials expect that 100000
will seek entrance. There IL no doubt
that the respect OF the public for a great
man will be manifested as never before Ia
the history Of the city.
Whatever the size of the crowd and the
difficulties presented. the perfection Of
the arrangements is such. even to the
most minute details. that the day OF pub.
lie mourning is likely to pass smoothly.
To this end Robert .Adamson who was
the Mayors secretary and Dock Com
missioner Robert a. T.. Smith assisted by
the city officials. have labored tirelessiy.
