sion that he held a conversation with
his father regarding the shortage of

A SIMPLE FUNERAL
Remains of Andrew Carnegie
Were Laid To Rest Today.
No EuIOgy and No PalIbearerS
for Late IrOnmaSter.

Lenox, Aug. 14.-The funeral of
Andrew Carnegie was held at Shadow
brook, his summer home in the Berk-
shires, today. There was no eulogy
and there were no pail bearers.
The service was as simple as were
the tastes and habits of the man in
life Fully one-half of the sixty per-
sons present were members Of the
household. The others were init
mates of the family.
The ritual of the Presbyterian
church was used by the officiating
clergyman, DIR. William Person Mer-
rill of the Brick Presbyterian church.
Fifth avenue, New York. where the
Carnegies attended. and of which Mrs.
Carnegie and her daughter, Mrs. Ros-
well Miller, were members. The day
upon which his daughter, Margaret.
united with this church, was declared
by Carnegie to be the "happiest day
of his life" and Doctor Merrill has
said that with advancing years Mr..
Carnegie gave evidence of increasing
interest in the society.

mixed quartet from this church
sang the three hymns that were the
favorites of the philanthropist and
former iron master. Doctor. Merrill
Wyman, pastor of the Lenox Congre-
gational church where Mrs. Carnegie
worshiped during the summer months.
At the conclusion of the service.
which occupied barely twenty minutes,
the body, accompanied by most of the
party. was removed in a motor car to
Hillsdale, n. Y, where a funeral
coach was in waiting. This car was
attached to the regular train of the
New York Central railroad leaving
this afternoon for Tarrytown. Thence
the body was to be taken by automo-
bile to Sleepy Hollow for interment
in a lot chosen by Mr.. Carnegie some
years ago. The service at Shadow
Brook was held in the great reception
room of the mansion overlooking Lake
Mankenac. one of the beauty spots of
the estate and where Mr.. Carnegie
had spent many happy hours at his
favorite pastime of angling.
Casket Was Very Plain.
The body reposed in a severely plain
casket placed in the ce liter of the
room and all but hidden in a wealth
of floral pieces. A small nameplate
on the coffin bore only the inscription,
Andrew Carnegie, born at Dunferm-
line, Scotland, November rs, 1885.

Schwab Mourns Loss of Friend.
Charles NJ. Schwab, head of the

Mrs. Carnegie will not return to
Shadow Brook, 1t was said at the Car
mcgee residence, but will go to New
Yoak City after the burial.

Knapp Refuses To Let Him
Draw State Pay.
HE'S LISTED AS EXTRA HELP"
Draws $50 Month at the
Home at BeIOit.
He Also Is Said To Eat and
Sleep on the State.

Mrs. Lillian NJ. Mitchner of Topeka,
superintendent of the state industrial
school for girls at Beloit. must not
carry her husband on the pay roll and
give him state food and a bed in a
state institution. That is the ruling
OF Fred w. Knapp, state auditor. who
today refused to approve the voucher
of c. w. Mitchner for July.
For more than a year Mrs. Mitch
ner's husband has been on the state
pay roll each month as extra help"
Knapp today held that the regularity
with which the superintendent hus-
band drew pay checks was in viola
ton of the blood and marriage law
affecting state employees. The auditor
also held that Mrs. Mitchner was over
working a ruling she secured from S.
M. Brewster. former attorney general.
who held that the superintendent
husband might go on the pay roll as
extra help"
Out After Auditor.
When Governor Capper appointed
Mrs. Mitchner as superintendent after
she had fought him in the 1914 cam
paign, the state probably did not in
tend to provide a home for the Mitch
ner family. More than a year ago
Auditor Knapp held up a voucher
drawn in favor of the superintendent
husband. He ruled that the blood and
ma SC law dppAASu anu AAAdl lAlC
husband of the school head could not
stay on the pay roll as an appointee
of his wife.
1t was then Mrs. Mitchner came to
Topeka with the avowed intention of
putting a crimp in the impertinent
auditor. She called on Attorney Gen
eral Brewster and secured a ruling
that her husband could draw pay, eat
state groceries and sleep in state in
stitution quarters as extra help"
Possibly Mitchner's services became
indispensable to the state school for
girls. Possibly the Brewster ruling
met all immediate needs. At any rate
Mitchner continued on the pay roll
$50 a month board and lodging.
Today Knapp took further action.
He held that the extra help" policy
was working overtime and that wife
had no more authority to appoint her
husband to a job under the blood and
marriage law than has a husband to
appoint his wife. So Mrs. Mitchner
must find another excuse or another
job for her husband.
To Go After Others.
Knapp has also notified the state
board of administration that he con-
templates action in cases at the Dodge
City Soldiers home and the Mother
Bickerdyke home at Ellsworth. S. S.
Martin, commandant at the Soldiers
home, is the husband of E. w. Mar
