FUNERAL 0F POPE
 HELD IN ST. PETERS
Body of Pontiff Lies Under FIagstone of the
 Cathedral
By Associated Press

Rome, January 26.-Beneath the fIagstone of St. Peters where thou sands of pilgrims come each year, Hes the mortal remains of Benedict XIV, whose benignant efforts through all the years of war were directed toward peace and after the war to the justification of Europe and the world.
 The burial ceremony took place at 3 o'clock this afternoon and in the light of the perpetually burning tapers the body was lowered into it's tomb. Those cardinals who had gath cred in Rome for the conclave which is to elect a new pope assembled in the basilica of St, Peters, together with the diplomatic representatives of the foreign nations accredited to the holy see. Outside the edifice great crowds knelt in prayer and waited for the end of the solemn ceremonial.
 The strains of the "Miserere" swelling through the vast basilica the martial step and the clang of swords of the pontifical armed forces, the flowing robes of prelates, rich violet, blending with the striking costumes of the Swiss guards, the gendermerie and the noble guards, and contrasting with the simple black of the diplomatic corps, com bined to give a picturesque impress siveness to the high pontifical rite of burial
 Choir Proceeds
 The choir proceeded from Julian chapel, on the south side of St Peters, across the transept to the 1 chapel of the Holy Sacrament, where the body of tho late pope lay in state Bishop Virili, celebrant of the cere- mony, followed the choir and at the end of the procession came Cardinal Merry Del Val, archpriest of St Peters.
 After the ceremony in the chapel the procession reformed and pro- ceeded to a position half behind the pontifical altar immediately under the the spacious dome. The cardi- na1s this time followed in the pro- cession and took places along the rail leading to the crypt. The body now encased in its casket, was car ried to a platform especially con- structed for lowering into the crypt Chains were adjusted and the caskct was slowly swung into the tomb without further ceremony except the distant singing of the choir in the chapel. which echoed down the aisles

EARLY ACTION ON SOLDIERS BONUS IS PROMISED BY t. O.P.
Republicans Instruct Ways and Means Committee to
 Frame New Bill at Once
 By Associated Press

Washington, January 26.-Early action in the House on a soldiers bonus bill was forecast tonight when republican members, at a caucus, adopted a resolution lnstructing the ways and means committee to frame bonus bill, and declaring that once reported the measure should be the continuing order of business until passed. No opposition to the reso- lution developed, it was said.
 While ways of raising necessary revenue for a bonus were discussed, given ths ways and means committee as to what revenue raising provision should be placed in the bill. Nom hers generally were of the opinion that 1t would bs advisable for the committee first to thrssh out this point and leave the republican mem bership of the House privileged, after the bill is reported. to caucus again. particularly on that feature of the measure.
 Sentiment was expressed, it was said. in favor of making the cash pro- visions of the bill less attractive and those providing for insurance and home and farm aid 6 more desirable option. Several members were said to have urged that cash payments be somewhat reduced so that more vet Srans would be inclined to take ad- vantage of other benefits. This. 1t was said, would require less initial revenue.
 Sales Tax
 Among the several ways suggested Tor providing necessary revenue were a sales tax. issuance of bonds secured by the foreign debt, and use of in- terest paid in by nations indebted to tho United States.
 Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee assured his col leagues that his committee would act with dispatch. Hearings, he said. would begin Tuesday with tho pros pect that they would Do brief and that the bill would be reported very soon. MT. Fordney. 1t was said, gave no indication Rs to how revenue might he raised. although it was said he told the caucus that President Hard ing was not opposed to bonus, pro- vfded a way of financing the project could be worked out without disturb ing. the finances of the country.
 The resolution adopted by the eau GUS was presented by Representative Reece of Tennessee, a former service man.

DOCTOR ON STAND
 FOR DEFENSE IN
 ARBUCKLE. TRIAL
Comedians Attorneys Seek to Prove Miss Rappe's Death Was Result of Chronic
 Complaint
Rv Associnted Prnsn

San Francisco, January 26.-More evidence intended to show that Miss Virginia Rapps, motion picture ac- tress, died as tho outcome of a chronic complaint, and not as ths result of supposed attack by Ros- COG c. Arbuckls. was Rdduced today in the second trial of a manslaughter charge against the film comedian.
 Dr. George Franklin Shiels, a ma Jor in the United States army medi- cal corps In the Spanish and World wars, and defense alienist in the first trial of Harry K. Thaw. testified that spontaneous rupture of the blad- der were possible. He illustrated on the court blackboard the manner in which such ruptures might be caused by muscular contraction due to alec holism, hystsria and other causes.
 A series of hypothetical questions whereby the defense endeavorod to connect certain incidents concerning Miss Rapps's physical condition with the rupture which caused her death were ruled out by the court on the prosecutions objections.
 Under cross examination the doc- tor said he had never heard of such rupture being caused by sudden i'm mersions In cold water. Injuries of the nature involved "are very rarely" caused by coughing or sneezing, he said. Dr. Shiels was announced as the final witness for the defense. He still was under examination at ad journment.
 The defense announced that three weeks search for Mrs. Irene Nor gan Of Pasadena, former nurse to Miss Rappe, had failed of results. It was believed by counsel, however that she had taken a trip out of the country which she had planned after the former trial of Arbuckle.
 A tense situation was created dur ing the trial when 1t was announced that Mrs. Morgan had been poisoned mysteriously after giving her testi- mony. She recovered and returned to her home in Pasadena.
