Strangely enough, the conquerors of the Atlantic were coming to at- tend the funeral of a man who just a few days ago, along with the rest of the world, had given them up for lost. As they surmounted the thrilling hazards of the northern Bennett was facing the hazard of a disease which parently has learned t~ mecv stoic- ally. To Pay Tribute at Grave Bennett, who had safely flown over the north pole with Byrd, was unable to withstand the attack of Pneumonia which he suffered while going to the aid of his fellow air- men, and, today those fellow airmen raced toward Washington to pay tribut Si just seven days ago in h attempt to fly to Greenly Island, Bennett today was assigned a small plot in Arlington cemetery not far from that given to Rear Admrial Peary, discoverer of the north pole. Notwithstanding that naval regu- lations call for the simple funeral commensurate with the rank held by the dead aviator, the day took on an ington. Much of the enthusiasm with which the capital eleomes its famous air visitors was absent. Full Military Hon-rs The navy rlanned to send a hearse to the Union station to take the casket from the funeral train. A half dozen automobiles were as- signed to follow it with the funeral party, including Mrs. Bennett and Commander Byrd, to Arlington. At the gate 200 sailors and a bugler and "dia wade business establish- ment For him, both as business man and public servant, the magic words were effort and economy. Lessons that he learned in his earlier strug- gle for a living were applied relig- iously to public fiscal policies in the years he served as head of the house committee on appropriations, which originates all the appropriations for the United States government. These lessons he began to learn in the school of personal experience at the age 0.” 10, when he took a job as waterboy in a quarry at Lemont, Il, six years after arrival in this country from England. Out of his mite he not ony contributed to the support of the family, but . ved enough to buy books and meet the other expenses of a night school, Studying in his spare time, he was able in addition to apply himself to his day-time work an industry that won him promotion after promotion until in the course of the years he became the highest official of the stone company where he had made so humble @ beginning. . His reputation for sterling hon- esty and business sagacity mea time had won the attention of poli- tical leaders of the old fourth ward of Chicago, and he was sent to the city council as a Republican in 1889. During a considerable portion of his service there he was chairman of the finance committee. The cry of “boodle” common in those days of the city’s remarkable ex- pansion, but he came through un- scathed, Two months after he entered the council, Chicago entered upon a policy of annexing cena raat 4 farm lands, in preparation for the day it was to take on the dignity of a metropolis. With the opening of new streets, and means to rovide the needed revenue assumed first. importance. He contributed notably to the solution of these problems. During his regime rail- road grade crossings were abolished, the street railways systems reo! ganized, a lake front park system guaranteed, the World Fair held, the improvement of the Chicago River started, and “boodle” stamped out in the awarding of city con- tracts, ‘Three times he declined the nom- ination for mayor. Then in 1397 he retired from the council to be- come a candidate for United States senator, but was dufeated. He re- tained an active part in Republican politics, however, and in 1905 was elected to the heuse, to become quickly one of the great Republi- can triumverate from Illinois, which included besides himself, Joseph G.

ESCORT OF HONOR EETS FUNERAL TRAIN New York, April 27.—(AP;—The body of Floyd Bennett, naval avi- ator, arrived at the Grand Central station from Quebec at 7:30 this morning and was received by an| honor escort of sailors, soldiers and Police. Although the hour was early, hundreds of spectators had gathered outside the terminal and along Park avenue to the 71st Regiment Arm- ory at 34th street. As the caisson rolled down the avenue, to the slow, measured tread of the escort, heads were bared and there was a hush} in the activities of a normally busy thoroughfare. The armory was reached within half an hour after the body arrived and there was another silent, rev- erent crowd outside the walls. Many Floral T. sutes The flag-draped coffin was car- tied into the reception room of Col- onel Valter Allen de Lamater, com- mander of the regiment. Hundreds of floral tributes were >anked in the room. The coffin was opened and the crowd filed silently by to view the body. Mrs. Cora Bennett, the widow, was escorted into the armory shortly before 9 o'colck, She went stances surrounding their coming it was indicated the official reception would be postponed until later visit. A full navy band will be in the procession within the cemetery. Stations connected with the National Broadcasting company will broad- cast the funeral as well as the ai rival of the German-Irish flyers, Three volleys will be fired in sa- lute over the grave by the firing squad and taps will be sounded by George Degeorgio, solo cornetist of the Navy band. The escort provided by navy reg- ulations will be in cgnmand of W. C. Fitzpatrick, a chief boatswain.
