BISHOP LAWRENCE
 CONDUCTS FUNERAL
Simple Services for Senator
 Henry Cabot Lodge
THOUSANDS STAND OUTSIDE
Admission to Church Only by Ticket and Services Are as Pri- vate as Possible--High Officials Send Floral Tributes.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 12.--In the simple rites of the Episcopal church services were held for Sem ator Henry Cabot Lodge at noon to- day in Christ church, this city. which he had attended while a stu dent at Harvard. where his mar riage was solemnized and where funeral services for his wife were held some years ago. In a voice that trembled with the intensity of his sorrow. Bishop William Law renee of the Episcopal diocese of Massachusetts, classmate and life- long friend of Senator Lodge, read the prayers of the service.
 Except for the presence of repre- sentatives of nation. state. the judi ciary and other branches of public life. the funeral obsequies were kept as private as was possible in the case of a distinguished public man. Admission to the church was by ticket and there were many empty pews, while thousands stood in the street outside.
 Many Floral Tributes.
 The space in front of the altar was banked with flowers, some bearing the names of those in high est official position in the nation. One wreath was sent at the request of Sir Esme Howard, British ambas- sador on behalf of the British em- pire.
 The members of the family occu- pied the pews on the right side of the church at the front and with them were the honorary pallbear- CTS, all long time friends of the senator. On the left side in front were the official representatives from Washington, headed by Secre- taries Hughes and Weeks and in- cluding Captain Adolphus A. An- drews, naval aide to the president. there as the presidents personal representative. Governor Cox also occupied place with these officials and behind in order were the conn mittees of the senate. the house and the judiciary. x IVY
 As the church bells tolled for the opening of the service, Bishop Law renee walked down a side aisle to meet the casket and accompanied it to its place before the altar. It was of plain black design with a few sprays of violets on the top. During the service, guards representing the army. navy and marine corps stood at attention beside the casket.
 The brief session beginning with the words T am the resurrection and the life," followed the Episcopal ritual and was read throughout by Bishop Lawrence. A surpliced choir sang The Strife Is Ger" and "The Son of God Goes Forth to War, !" Several times in the course of his reading the bishops voice seemed on the point of breaking. :
 According to wish expressed by Senator Lodge, his body was placed in the family vault on the side of A hill overlooking Mount Auburn lake In the cemetery of that name. Only the family accompanied the body to the cemetery with the honorary pail bearers and Bishop Lawrence, who read the brief commitment service Of the Episcopal church,

Mrs. F. M. Thornton,
 Wife Of Ex-Steward At New Britain Club,
 Slain With Bread Knife. .
Archie Thornton, Ex-Po- licernan, Then Attacks Anna Kowaltzky. But She Flees to Safety.

Mrs. F. M. Thornton, ss. wife of . former steward of the New Britain club, was murdered by Archie Thornton, 55, her brotker-in-law, at Hoxsie, R. l., yesterday. Miss Anna Kowaltzky. 1s. a maid, a former New Britain girl, who also had been employed at the New Britain club. witnessed the murder and saved her life by fleeing when the crazed man attempted to attack her with the blood-stained knife.
 The murder occurred in farm house where the Thorntons' lived. After the maid spread the alarm among the neighbors and the police were notified, two bluecoats ap- peared and captured the slayer only after a terrific battle. Thornton was taken to Providence and placed in cell. resisting fiercely until the keys clamped on the door.
 The murdered woman, who suf- fered several stab wounds, lived for half an hour but during that time was unable to speak, dying without making a statement.
 Murderer Acting Queeriy. Miss Kowaltzky. the maid, told po- lice in Providence today, according to dispatches, that there had been no intimation that Thornton intend ed to become violent. He had been 1iorose, the girl said. for several days prior to the crime and that he had been acting queerly' since Sat- arday, speaking strangely [ about watermelons. The maid said Thorn ton had not been drinking anything stronger than ctdeE although the po- lice thought he. was intoxicated when he was arrested.
 Police in Providence, dispatches say, are of the opinion that Thorn ton went suddenly insane when he began welding the bread knife.
 Mrs. Thornton, the victim of the murderer, and her husband, F. M. Thornton, had lived at the New Brit ain club, where the husband was the stewart, about two years prior to the hotel. At the time of his leave-tak- ing, Thornton was given 8 gold watch by the club as a testimonial of regard and appreciation of his Tha 1a lar with members of the organiza- tion.
 The couple took Miss Kowalszky with them, Mrs. Thornton having taken a deep interest in the girl. They left here for the farm in Rhode Island.
 Thornton of late had been work ing in New York, and Providence dispatch stated that he was in that city when the murder occurred. Since leaving here is also had been a stewart at a golf club in Hartford.
 A dispatch from Providence states that F. M. Thornton had been at home until Monday, when he left for his position in New York. As, Miss Kowaltzky told police that Archie Thornton had been acting queerly since before that time, it is evident that the former New Britain man did not think the condition of his relative was serious enougt to deter him from making the trip to New York.
 It is understood here that Archie Thornton, the slayer, was 6 cripple and was being supported by Thorn ton living with them upon the Rhode Island farm.
 Mrs. Thornton's funeral will be held in Providence on Friday, with services at the Graham funeral home, 571 Broad street, a dispatch this afternoon stated.

NO TAX MEASURES AT SHORT SESSION Sec. Mellon and President Confer
 This Morning NOT SUFFICIENT TIME
Neither Does Coolidge Intend to Call Special Session of Congress to Take Up These Mstters--Prob- lens Are Discussed.

Washington. Nov. 12.-.The admin istration has no present intention of pressing for tax legislation at the coming short session of congress, it became known today, after Secretary Mellon had conferred with Presi- dent Coolidge.
 It is understood Mir. Mellon does not consider it practical to take up the problem at this session, because of the lack of time, and in view of other difficulties entering into the situation.
 The administration has not given any consideration so far to the call ing of a special session of the new congress after next March 1, to con- sider tax reduction. {.
 Feel It Is Futile.
 Administration officials feel it would be rather futile to renew the tax fight at the short session since the problem has just been thrashed out and the resulting law Is just now going into effect.
 What congress itself may attempt, without recommendation from the administration is another question. Some elements in the senate and house want immediate action, despite the fact that the republican party leaders seem agreed with the White House as to the individuality of such course. Others are pressing for a special session after March 4. and it remains to be developed whether they will muster sufficient strength to convince the president that such a session should be called.
 Unless Mir. Coolidge issues a spe- cial session call the new congress will not meet until a year from the coming December. Those who are urging special session point out that the president declared after the act of 1924 was perfected that he favored another revision at the earl fest opportunity and they argue that a delay until late in 1925 would not carry out that program.
 Mir. Mellon conferred for more than a half hour this morning with the president. It is understood the < question of taxation was discussed in some detail. n.
