FUNERAL OF MRS.
GEO. A. HOAGLAND
HELD YESTERDAY
Beautiful Floral Tributes Re-
call Founding Of Flower
Mission Nearly Quarter
of Century Ago.

The funeral of Mrs. George A..
Hoagland was held Sunday after
noon in her home. $40 North Forty
eighth street. Although contrary
to the usual custom of the Episeo-
pal church, sentiment for the home
caused the services to be held there,
rather than III the church.
Rev. L. ]. Mackay rector of All
Saints Episcopal church, who of
iiciated, spoke of the peculiar sig
niiance that this home had in the
life of Mrs. Hoagland, one of Om-
aha's truest pioneers. 1t was first
familiar to Omahans in the years
when il stood on Sixteenth and
Howard streets, and later Mrs.
Hoagland, rather than have it de-
stroyed or become business house,
chose to have it moved to Dundee,
and there used as their home.
Flowers Recall Charity.
The flowers, especially the cross
Of lilies and roses behind the cas-
ket, recalled one OF the most charm-
ing parts of Mrs. Hoagland's life
the Emma Hoagland Flower mis-
sion, started in the days when the
Hoagland home was where the
Thompson Belden store now stands.
The idea came to Mrs. Hoagland
as memorial that would include
others, for her daughter, Emma
ioagland, who had died. During
those 10 years the Emma Hoagland
Flower mission had its headquarters
in that home. and only after it was
removed to Dundee, did Mrs. Hoag-
land consent to change them to
The Donahue floral shop.
At first this one woman, whose
idea the Flower mission was, went
in person with the IA girls, whom
she selected to help her, to every
hospital, north, south, east and west,
in order to direct the work in the
way she most wished.
Later, as the scope of the work
increased, others became interested
and the work grew until many help
srs were needed.
Emma Hoagland Mission.
But, although on June 5, the 18th
anniversary of the Emma Hoagland
Flower mission will be commemor-
ated Mrs, Hoagland has missed
only ono Thursday in attending and
keeping up the work of distributing
these flowers to the poor and i'll of
the various hospitals, institutions
or private families.
The florists have donated weekly
OF their flowers during these Is
years and there has been a reserve
fund from which to draw on other
occasions.
The funeral services were in the
Episcopalian ritual and interment at
Forest Lawn.
The two hymns, "Abide With Me"
and LEAD Kindly Light" sung by
Mrs. Hazel Eldridge SO harmoni-
ously beautiful with the ritual and
services, was the only music.
The pallbearers were Charles L.
Saunders, Hoxie Clark, ]. E.
George, Charles T. Kountze, Joseph
Barker and M. G. Colpetzer.
The honorary pallbearers includ-
ed NJ. T. Barlow, w. T. Robinson,
c. N. Dietz, Edward P. Peck,
G. Stebbin and c. c. Belden.

Germany No Longer Holds
Potash Industry Monopoly

Bcrne, Feb. 9.-The Kackgerschall
Kaliz potash corporation, in its an
nual report, declares that the fu-
ture outlook of the German potash
industry is anything but encourage
ing. Seventeen mines, which were
important because of the high grade
quality of the yield and advantage
GUS shipping opportunities, are now
in the hands Of the enemy while
new mines have been uncovered in
Spain. Germany thus not only for
feits the monopoly, but loses the
full benefit Of the commodity as an
object of exchange.

exposed face and four men guard.
ing his remains, the body of Father
Daniel p. Harrington lies in state
at St. Cecelia's cathedral Father
Harrington died at Los Angeles,
Cal, where he had gone at the be-
hest of his physician to reeuperate
from the strain he had undergone
in raising the major portion of the
fund for the erection of the new
St. Cecilia cathedral.
The cathedral, draped in somber
black wears an aspect of deep
mourning. The magnificent edifice
is nearly complete and its beauty
is enhanced by the somber con-
trast offered by the drapings.
1t is a strange coincidence that
the death of the man, who had
spent the better part of his life in
laboring for the erection of this
beautiful place of worship, should
come just at the time when the ca
thedral is nearing completion.
Watch Throughout Night.
Four immobile men, stationed two
on each side of the casket, guard
it constantly. AS the members OF
the congregation stream past the
casket to pay tribute to, and for the
last time look upon the features OF
their deceased leader, no change is
visible upon the countenances of
the guards. They have volunteered
for the night-long vigil and are pay
ing silent tribute to the memory of
their dead pastor,
The remains of Father Harring-
ton arrived at the Heafey and
Heafey undertaking parlors at $50
p. m. Saturday. Here the body
was robed in the purple vestments
of the priestly Office and lay in
state in the chapel adjoining the
undertaking parlors. AT 4 p. m.
Sunday the body was taken to the
cathedral over which he had been
pastor for over 20 years.

As the procession wended its way
towards the cathedral it was met
by the members of the Holy Name
society They took their position
Just in the rear of the pallbearers.
Father Leo F. Frank met the pro-
cession at the entrance to the cathe-
dral. He blessed and made a pray
er over the body. He then led the
procession TO a position just in front
of the pulpit and beneath a huge
American flag suspended from the
ceiling. The body was deposited
here and Mr.. Harry Burnley sang

TRIBUTE PAID
ROOSEVELT IN
WESTMINSTER
English and Americans Join
in Memorial Service at
Famous Old Abbey
in London.

London, Feb. "a representative
gathering of Americans and English
filled Westminster abbey this after
noon to pay tribute to the late Theo-
dore Roosevelt in a memorial serv-
ice, which, for the first time in his
tory displaced evensong in the abb
hey.
Ambassador and Mrs. Davis, the
staff of the American embassy, Rob
ert P. Skinner, the consul general,
and his staff, Vice Admiral Sims,
many navy and army officers and the
representatives of American societies
were present, Prince Arthur of Con-
naught represented King George and
Earl Howe represented Dowager
Queen Alexandria, to whom he is
lord chamberlain; Baron Beresford,
Viscount Bryce, Earl Curzon, Arthur
N. Chamberlain, Lord Southwark
and many other notables were in the
audience.
The sermon was delivered by
Archdeacon Carnegie, who said that
the tribute shown here "at the
shrine of the Anglo-Saxon race"
proved the high place that Theo-
dore Roosevelt held in the hearts of
the British people.
Forceful Personality.
"His was forceful and magnetic
personality, vital and strong in
work or in. play" said the arch
deacon. "He was a warm hearted
friend and a fair opponent. He
was a good sportsman, entirely
fearless and the soul of honor. He
had all these qualities, which the
Anglo-Saxon ever appreciates and
admires."
Colonel Roosevelt, said the arch
deacon, had cast his influence always
on the side of right. Someone had
said, the speaker remarked, that his
greatest feat was the rediscovery Of
the 10 commandments. To him right
was right and wrong was wrong, and
at all hazards he ever chose the
plain path of duty,
Archdeacon Carnegie referred to
the outbreak Of the war and how the
British saw Belgium invaded and de-
clared themselves OH the side of
right. Colonel Roosevelt saw it,
too, and she spent himself; he sac
rihced his life" the speaker said,
but long before he died he realized
that his allotted task was completed
The choir sang, How Firm a
Foundation" and then The Battle
Hymn of The Republic" Then as
the archdeacon and the clergy left
the abbey in solemn procession, the
western sun poured through the abb
hey windows and the organ burst
forth with "The Star Spangled
Banner"

PLAN RETURN VOYAGE
Mans Reveal Carefully Plotted
Course-West Indies Probable
Goal.

Pretassy, n. T., May 2O-Proof
positive that a return flight IS al
least in contemplation by the Navy
Department. experts is found IN the
flight maps which reveal carefully
plotted course from Plymouth to
Basket Bay, north CT Va!entia, on
the southwest coast of Ireland.
The fact that the entire squad OF
aviation mechanics sailed fer Ply
mouth on the Aroostock yesterday
to overhaul the seapIanes is con-
sidered significant.
/ Commander Towers admitted be-
fore his departure that the method
of bringing the seaplanes back home
was undecided and others Of the
flyers .intimated that the result OF
the eastward leap overseas would
settle the question.
No naval vessels, so far as Known
are under orders to transport the
planes home and the belief is grow
mo that a return flight will be made.
III is thought that Commander Tow
ers. on reaching Plymouth will decide
the matter after conference with
the naval authorities.
f the return is made by air the
homing planes, will not head Tor
Newfoundland on account Of the fog
but the West Indies may be selected
as the first stop, with Rockaway as
the terminus.
