FUNERAL PASSES
Impressive Services for Kelvin
O'Higgins Today

Dublin. Ireland, July IS P-
Dublin was city OF hushed silence
today as the body OF Kelvin O'Hig-
gins, assassinated vice president of
the Free State council, passed
through the streets lined with great
crowds of mourners.
The body was taken from ST An
drew's church where a solemn re-
QUEEN mass was celebrated and was
then carried to Glasnevin cemetery.
So solemn was the procession that
women wept as the body passed by
and scores tainted from emotion
and the heat Of the day.
It was estimated that 100000
Irish people, paying their. last trib-
ute to their stricken vice president
watched the draped gun-carriage
which carried the body through the
streets.
The music and funeral marches
OF the bands in the procession add
ed solemn note and brought tears
to the eyes of many of the specta-
tors.
The funeral was far more iml os-
ing than any previously held in
Dublin for many years. All bust
ness was suspended and from an
early hour large crowds assembled
along the route which extended
three miles through the chief streets
OF the city of Glasnevin,
The carriage, upon which the
body vas carried. was preceded by
a squadron OF cavalry and was fol-
lowed by the chief mourners. Gov
ernor General Timothy Healy fol-
lowed in a motor car while all the
members of 10th houses of parlia-
ment marched afoot. In the pro-
cession were representatives OF
every department of the Irish Free
State. Twelve large lorries. filled
with wreaths. we're in the process
sion.

Kelly Remains Atop His
Pole DESPITE RainstOrm

Buffalo. \. Y, July IA tuP)-Just
when Alvin Shipwreck Kelly was
sitting pretty on top of his flagpols
with an injunction protecting him
from a firehose which police threat
ened to WELD, along came a furry
of rain. Alvin didn't have even an
umbrella, much less an injunction,
10 protect him from skywater.
Nevertheless, he stuck ~ his post.
or, to be technically accurate, his
pole, and today the sun was shining
again.
The supreme court this afternoon
will decide whether to make per-
manent the temporary injunction re-
straining Mayor Frank X. Schwab
from forcing Kelly to descend. The
mayor takes the ground that flag
pole sitters are menaces because
they encourage people to look up
ward, thus making it easy for mo-
florists to run them down.
