Requiem Service.
MILFORD PASTOR
DELIVERS EULOGY
Priests and Laymen Accom-
pany Body Of Lamented
Clergyman to Grave.


With all the solemnity that char
acterizes the office of the dead in/the
Roman Catholic church funeral SER
vices for Rev. John F. Murphy, late
beloved pastor Of st. Mary's church
were held this morning in that edi-
f1ce The spacious church was
thronged during the solemn services
and it is estimated that at least 1900
persons were present at the impress
sive ceremonies.
The majestic roll Of the organ, the
presence, of 125 black robed priests,
| the incense-laded air, and the solemn
hush that pervaded the church COM
bined to form scene that will live
long in the saddened memories Of
those who were in attendance.
The interior Of the edifice was
draped in mourning colors. The
pillars were swathed in black as were
also the stations of the>cross. The
pulpit was clothed in purple and the
altar dressed in deep black.
In the congregation were prominent
men of all walks u life, some coming
from the parishes in which Father
Murphy formerly 1abored. And near
them were persons who had known
the esteemed clergyman since he Of
fered up his first solemn mass at this
church 38 years ago.
Many persons to whom Father
Murphys human traits were known
intimately held their handkerchiefs to
their eyes with unrestrained emotions
as the solemn services proceeded.
They were sorrowful as they realized
that the fruitful career had ended
and a noble spirit had departed.
This spirit of mourning had been
manifest all during yesterday, last
evening and in the solemn watches OF
the night while the body reposed in
state in front of the altar. There was
long and continuous procession of
people who had come for last
glimpse of the beloved clergyman.
All through the night the devout
members Of the parish, delegations of
st. Mary's Holy Name society, An
cient Order of Hibernians, John Rog-
ers Council, X of c., Children of Mary
and Third Order of st. Francis, sat on
guard over the remains. Many of
other faiths who shared their grief
with the parishioners of st. Mary's
came in large numbers to view the
features for the last time.
The ce1ebrant of the pontif1cal re-
QUEEN mass was Right Rev. John j.
Milan, bishop Of the diocese Of Hart
ford. Rev James B. Nihi1l, P. R., of
St. Augustine's, was the arch priest.
Other officers of the mass were Rev.
John Carroll, Wallingford, deacon Of
the mass, Rev Joseph Joyce, D. D., of
New Haven, formerly assistant at st.
Mary's, ub-deacon, Rev. John g.
Murray and Rev. William Flynn, both
of Hartford, master of ceremonies,
Rev. Thomas Gloster and Rev. James
Huston of st. Charles, censor bear
ers, Rev. Walter Lyddy of Westerly,
r. l., a native of the parish, and Rev.
Joseph Seiferman of Jewett City and
formerly an assistant of the church,
acolytes. The deacon and sub-deacon
of honor were Rev. James Lee Of Bos-
ton and Rev. James C. O'Brien Of
Stamford.

Enforced vacations granted to pro-
German advocates and to Americans
of German descent is a topic of dis
cussion in Bridgeport's German
American circles that is accentuated
by knowledge that Arthur F. Wall
billich, of SGT Wood avenue, for nine
wears master mechanic at the Bryant
Electric Co., has severed his connec-
ton with that company as the result
of a suggested indefinite vacation
period.
Announcement of the company's
decision which reached Wallbillich
only after diplomatic relationship had
been severed between Germany and
the United States is keenly felt by the
German citizens of Bridgeport, VINO
are receiving reports of fast growing
unemployment among their friends.
wallbillich, reached by telephone at
his home today, while admitting that
the vacation alternative was suggest
ed to him ''that he might get need
ed rest" and who resigned his posi-
ton as result. is 10th to believe that
firms generally in Bridgeport can feel
that employees of German descent, and
faithful employees for long periods OF
wears can be other than loyal to the
interests Of their employers even In
times of national crises.
G. w. Goodridge, assistant manager
of the Bryant Electric Co., in the alb
sence Of Waldo c. Bryant said today:
"The severance of the connection Of
Wallbillich came as the result Of his
failing health. The Bryant company
numbers among it's employees many
persons of German descent. We ad-
miro their thoroughness as they are
among some of the best employees we
have. We are strictly neutral, and as
we manufacture no war materials do
no favor one nation above the other In
their war conduct or their utility in
our factory. Walfbill;ch in our opinion
is a sick man andA needs continued
rest"
DR.. Hermann Duesing. one Of the
foremost German-American residents
Of Bridgeport, informed The Farmer
today that reports Of many persops
being discharged in this city and New
Haven because Of their parenlage had
reached him.
'"This is not just he said, ''for If a
German American is fit to serve in the
armies of the United States he is GER
tainly fit to get his daily bread from
the factories Of America. The Ger
is loyal to the country
of his adoption and Determinations will
only tend to make disloyal those who
are at heart loyal"
