Blanketed by a covering of 5000

left the Morgan library, where the
body has laid in state since Friday,
shortly before 10 o'clock. A vested
choir Of over 200 voices preceded the
funeral party into church. -
About 1500, one Of the most notable
gatherings here in many years, crowd
ed into the church, and many friends
were unable to attend. -
Three Bishops officiated.
The services were conducted by Rev.

ICY OF ROAD. DECLARES
PRESIDENT elliott.

New York. April 12.--Howard Eli
Oft, president Of the Northern Pacific
Railroad Co., arrived in New York
yesterday from Cambridge, Mass,
where he was attending meeting of
the overseers of Harvard university,
and paid visit to his mother He
will go to Washington. with the land
agent of the Northern Pacific to dis
cuss certain matters with the land Of
ficials of the government relative to
the Northern Pacific lands. This is
a matter that is taken UP with the
government at more or less regular
intervals. Mr.. Elliott said that moth
ing of an important nature will de-
velop at the conference this week.
From Washington, Mr.. Elliott will
go to st. Paul. He says that the gross
earnings of the Northern Pacific for
March showed a substantial increase
over the corresponding month of last
year, but that no material gain will
be recorded in the net earnings, mas
much as liberal charges will be made
against the gross for Improvement
work, which is being pushed as rapid
" as possible. This policy will be
continued in April, May and June, in
asmuch as he and his associates are
of the opinion that after July / it will
be extremely difficult to get full
quota of laborers.
Mr.. Elliott stated emphaticalIy that
there has been no change in the finan-
cial policy of the Northern Pacific, and
that for the present it will continue to
finance it's requirements for improve
ments by the sale of treasury securi-
ties. He said also that there was
nothing of definite character to an
nounce regarding the company's budg-
ct of expenditures for the present call
endar year. The work on the Point
Defiance line will be pushed as rapidly
as possible, and it is expected that
the grading will be completed by July
i, and the whole in excellent shape
next year. The line over the Cascade
mountains will be double tracked and
various other pieces of work carried
forward as expeditiously as possible.
In referring to the position of the
railroad as a whole, Mr., Elliott said
officials are not afraid as to the voI-
urne of traffic. They expect that 1t
will be large. What does concern
them especially is to raise money with
which to meet the demands for bet
ter terminal facilities, more equip
ment and the obligations placed upon
the railroads by federal and state
legislative bodies.
