NEW YORK, April 2S.-Past the
sidewalks of New York where stood
with bowed heads and tear dimmed
eyes thousands he had befriended.
the funeral cortege of Charles F.
Murphy carried the remains of the
dead Tammany leader to their last
resting place today.
Up from the teeming east side
where the clatter and roar of traffic
was stilled for an instant as the
smoothly rolling black limousines
went by, to the cool sweeps of Fifth
Avenue and the lofty height of st.
Patrick's Cathedral. the .solmen pro-
cession moved. And in the pro-.
cesion and on the sidewalks Of both
sections We're men and women of
all avenues OF life who owed much
to Charlie Murphy and tearfully
acknowledged that gratitude today.
Prince of Politics
Murphy had been a prince of pol
itics indeed; power he wrested from
the rich; jobs he gave to the poor.
Probably no other individual ever
provided personally so many JOBS
and thus won so many friends.
ADMINISTRATIVE and aloof In life.
Muy-hy would permit effusiveness
from no one; after his death the
pent-up gratitude welled forth ~
The voice of the city was hushee.;

Poison Rich Spouse,
By United Press


WHITE PLAINS, N. Y. April Is
Charles Clarence E. Barring, adj
ministered arsenic to his wealthy wife
in an attempt to murder her, were to
be presented to a grand jury here to-
day as authorities delved deeper into
the strange tales of intrigue and
jealousy surrounding the life Of the
couple.
District Attorney Arthur Rowland
of Westchester County says he has
evidence that pneumonia and diph-
liberia germs were given the wealthy
woman.
Barring is held lin the county Jail
without bail and will be arraigned
today.
The authorities charge that for
three months Baring-an amateur
chemist-fed arsenic and germs to
his wife in stuffed dates; matted milk,
ginger ale and other foods. They say
her frequent illness from the poison
first caused suspicion to point toward
tpe husband.
Mrs. Barring IS described as jeal-
Gus and has accused her husband Of
relations with another woman. The
couple was on the verge of divorce
a year ago, but a reconciliation ended
with a second honeymoon to Europe.
Friends say Barring is neurOtic
with a passion for studying chemis-
try. He has a small laboratory in his
home They feel his hobby for chem
istry may have resulted in his expert
menting on his wife.

Rich and Poor Pay Homage to Murphy

Beside the silk hats and frock
coats Of the west side, worn even In
solemnity with that jaunty air that
only an Irishman can impart, there
were the cape and flannel shirts Of
the east side The brogue Of old
Ireland ran through the throng,
thickening where the white-haired
mourners of Tammany stood at the
steps as the. casket was carried
down. This was the clan that Muir.
ply ruled for twenty-five years.
Widow Leaves Bed
The widow rose courageously
from bed for the first time since
she was tod of her husbands death
and came town stairs to take her
part in the last ceremony.
Heavily yelled, she was escorted
to a limousine.
A thunderous spluttering from
the motorcycles of the police escort
signalled the start of the procession.
AS it moved northward all traffic
was stopped and people came run
ming to windows and stood bare
headed on either side of the muddy,
cobble-stoned streets where the man
they honored today had played as a
boy and driven a horse car before
he rose to political power.
After services at st. Patrick's the
remains were to be buried In

BANKERS CONDEMN
CONGRESS FOR TAX
REDUCTION DELAY
Revision Held Prime Cause
for Certain Business De-
preston.
By United Financial

By UHtted Financial
AUGUSTA, Ga, April 2S.-The
spring meeting Of the executive
council of the American Bankers As
ISOLATION opened here today with
speakers haying members of Congress
responsible for the delay in the tax
revision which was held the prime
cause for the present depression in
some lines Of business. Bankers from
every section of the country listened
to condemnation Of the Washington
probes.
Among the speakers were Walter H
Head of Omaha, Nebraska, president
Of the association; Francis H. Sisson.
vice president of the Guaranty Trust
Company of New York; F. I. Kent.
vice president Of the Bankers Trust
Company Of New York; Evans
Woolen, of Indianapolis; T. B. Preston
Of Tennessee, Oliver c. Fuller, Of Mi
waukee; c. A. Hinsch, of Cincinnati.
and Alex Dunbar, Of Pittsburgh.
The most important political ques-
ton upon which business depends to-
day, according to President Head, is
the settlement Of the foreign trade
situation. The foreign market for
agriculture products will be extended
to a material degree by the settlement
Of European political and economic
difficulties.
Oscar Wells of Birmingham, Ala,
second vice president Of the associ-
alton, said in part: There is but
little question that the markets for
securities as well as for commodities
are being affected by the investiga-
lions. This neams an effect on bust
ness, for business cannot be normally
conducted if its securities are de-
pressed.
