FUNERAL TO-DAY
Attended by Many Of His Old Friends
This Afternoon at First Baptist
Church to Which He
Belonged.
BY MINISTER
Modern Woodmen Attend Services In
Body to Show High Regard in
Which Murdered Man

had lived in Keokuk the greater T
of his life, having been born near
Hannibal and coming to this city
when a boy. :,
The Modern Woodmen testified
their regard for their dead brother by
attending the funeral in a body. n
p~aIlbearers e William E. Rokey,
A. M. Foulds, Fred Reither, Harvey
J. Ringstrom, julius Biddenstadt ana
Ollie Nelson.
Sympathy overcomes Indignation.
Rev. Harvey j.. Moore, his pastor,
conducted the funeral services witn
prayer at the home and a sermon al
the church.
The sermon was an eloquent, appre-
ciatiye one, and some OF the Things
the minister said were these:
when a tragedy is enacted such as
that which this community has VIII
messed within the week, two Things
become uppermost at once IN the
minds Of the people. First, lndlgna-
ton against the perpetrators OF the
crime: and second, sympathy for those
into whose lives the tragedy mas cut
SO deeply and so cruelty.
He Was Loyal In Everything.
"There is one word of comfort we
can speak which the life OF
the husband and father who was tax
en- so suddenly away. We all know
that his was a life built on. eternal
foundations. If I were to mention what
7 conceive to be the chief cornerstone
of his life, l should say that 1t is 10y
atty. s
HE was loyal in all his relation
ships. He was dependable. His oro-
Tiers leaned upon him. His FAMILY
loved him and knew him to De d
worthy husband and father. He was
'loyal to his God. In all the actlvlties
of his life, and in his dealings WIN
men. he stood for things true
honorable. He was lot p~retentlous
nor unseemly in his professions OF
right living. He possessed a simple
faith. and he lived securely in and py
that faith. =.

Don't 60 to bed tonight without set

over the possibility of getting confused

many were really aware Of the change

The daylight savings plan will be In
operation until the last Sunday In Oc-
tober. when the clocks and watches

to be no doubt that daylight saving has
come to stay and that the whole country

your inability TO arrive at the dock
diers.
says Truth IL Resented.
You know you were several hours
late on that occas sion. When I said
Back to Palm Beach. you're four
hours late the truth Is that you were
several hours late, and were keeping
several hundred men. women and
children from receiving their friends.
Apparently the very truth Of the re-
marks made is what prompts you to
be so solicitous about marring n
sacred and glorious occasion, and to
endeavor to evade your own RESPONSE
bility.
The people generally give you the
palm for marring a sacred and glori-
GUS occasion. Your appointment of
William Randolph Hearst as men,
Der of the Mayors Committee Of
Welcome, a man who was pre-emi-
nent in tho German propaganda in
this country, has absolutely marred
the sacred occasions Of the soldiers
homecoming.
AS a Lieutenant in the Air Ser
vice, ! can with truth say that the
sentiment Of officers and men alike
was unanimous in condemnation OF
your action in appointing Mr.. Hearst.
A Lieutenant in France recently
wrote me stating As much as want
to get home, I hate to think of our
being met by Hearst No. Mr..
Mayor. X anyone has been RESPONSE
BILE for marring sacred occasions,
that person is yourself.
Palm Beach has figured before In
Your public career As recall. whom
your libel suits against the New York
World were about to be brought to
trial before Judge Cropsey. you gave
as your excuse for not being pre-
pared to 30 to trial that you had
been too busy in looking out for the
peoples interests. The counsel for
the New York World, however,
showed that you had spent several
weeks at Palm Beach, where you
were far away from the affairs of
New York city and it's people. You
might have used this time to good
advantage in preparing for the libel
suits which were never brought to
trial.
"A great majority Of the people Of
this city would like to know why you
could AFFORD to allow a great New
York daily to publish so-called de-
famatory articles with no answer
from you. I believe you paid some
thing like $4,000 as costs Of court, on
the dismissal OF your suits, for tho
privilege Of blufflng the people that
these certain articles were untrue.
Why not stop blufilng the people?
Yours very truly,
WIN. THORN SIMPSON"

IF landlords are permitted 10 void
leases In this manner and to refuse to

ardy," he said. ''The leases then are not
worth the paper they are written on.
II is probable that the situation as
found TO exist hero is paralleled else
where. and 1t Is worth the time and at
tention Of the Board Of Aldermen to in
vestigate."

tie Of the User, an exploded shell tore
his shoulder at the retreat of Chartered,
whom he turned fleeing Alserians and
drove back the onrush Of Germans
There was unusual stiffness in the
small banquet room Of the hotel while
the artist spoke. Slowly and with won
derful eloduence he told Of the indomi-
table heroisrn, the courage and the soul
Of France in the war. and in the pauses
between his words only the booming Of
the wind at the windows stirred the ST.
lence. Pinned to his breast were two
medals for bravery-the Legion of Honor
and the war cross. He expressed the
hope that the ideals OF France and
America may be more and more iden-
teal an the years pass. Lieut.. Lemor-

ESTIMATE BOARD
DELAYS PARK PLAN
Bowman and Other Citizens
Urge Action to Honor
Gen. Pershing.

John Nee. Bowman Of the Biltmors
and other hotels. told the Board Of Esti-
mate yesterday that he would be willing
to form an orga nisation to finance the
proposal to turn the site Of the old Grand
Union Hotel. Forty-second street and
Park avenue. into a public park in honor
OF Gen. Pershing.
Mr.. Bowman appeared before the
board with a large delegation TO favor
the proposal to have the city turn the
property. which It owns. over to the
Park Department to be used for park
purposes 1t was explained to the COM
mittee that under the rapid transit act
the land, which was bought to get the
easements for the East Side Subway,
would have to be sold and the proceeds
used for transit purposes. William II.
Page said he had drawn a bill to do
away with the legal obstacle and AS
semblyman Martin B. McCue had prom
ised to introduce II at Albany.
The Sinking Fund has made plans TO
sell tho property, which cost the city
some 100000. Borough President
Bowling asked Mr.. Bowman whether
the people he represented would be will
ing to buy the land and present 1t to the
city for park purposes. Mr.. Bowman
said he would be glad to organise a
movement to that end. but FIRST he would
like the Board of Estimate to consider
the proposal further.
Mrs. Olive 8. Gabriel and Miss Laura
II. Prisk spoke OF the need OF a park
space at this point and the appropriate
ness OF honoring Gen. Pershing
Assemblyman McCue objected to hav-
ing the site sold for an office building or
a hotel. He said the taxicab men In the
vicinity of the Grand Central Terminal
needed a parking space, and he thought
this would be a most admirable place
for them.
Borough President Connolly OF Queens
favored the park idea. The matter Went
over for further consideration.
The request OF the Mitchell Memorial
Committee to be allowed to improve the
lower reservoir in Central Park as a
playground and to erect there a memo
rial to Mayor Mitchell WAS referred to the
committee of the whole.

CIRCUS READY FOR
Big OPENING TO-DAY
Dress Rehearsal Gives Glimpse
Of Gorgeous Show at
the Garden.

Regardless of the persistency with
which Chief Weather Guesser Jim Scarf
tried all day yesterday to make the
outside Of Madison Square Garden look
like frosted Christmas cake, all the
Ringlings and Barnums and Bsileys
bravely whistled the Spring Song" as
they shook the snow Off their listers in
side the Garden last night and settled
down to watch the momentous dress re-
hearsal Of the Ringing Brothers and
Barnum & Bailey Combined Shows
Without fear of successful contradic-
tion by the three-cylinder publicity de-
partment Of the double jointed circus
the statement may be made here that
the dress rehearsal of the show-which
begins Its engagement at the Garden
with q matinee at 2.1B o'clock this aft
ernoon-last night cracked and gilt
tered In a way that made the Arch Of
Jewels. up at the Plaza, look like a
chunk Of the darkness TINT Moses cast
over Egypt And when one remembers
that the gold baskets which Miss May
Wirth will use to-day in her riding act
were not taken out OF the safe deposit
vaults for the final rehearsal, and that
some of the beauteous artists wore
the spangled tights in which they will
be ablaEe this afternoon and tonight
when one recalls these things one must
see that the public performances to-day
promise to be as all lit up as the eve
Of July / next.
Miss Bird Millman, while dancing on
the wire at last nights rehearsal, acct
dentally threw a shoe, and as the shoe
was of saimon-colored satin a trained
seal named Wilbur naturally got the
notion that the slipper WAS an extreme
ly small FISH and swallowed 1t before
the shoe had half a chance to hit the
tan bark But outside OF that slight
mishap the rehearsal OF the circus.
which first and last was all circus,
roared and glittered from basement me-
nagerie to fiat fiuttering rafters with a
speed and dazzle that made one lose
sight even Of the plot
