NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1923 LONDON'S NIGHT LIFE (Continued from First Page) perishable food Is moving. Even the emergency crews will stop for two minutes at 6 o'clock, telegraph keys will be silenced for two minutes and all will observe a brief period of sllent mourning. At the U, S. post office at 3 o'clock the time when all footsteps will turn towards the park, the delivery of mall will be suspended. Stamp win- dows will be closed. Money order de- partment will cease business for three hours and the postal clerks, mail car- riers and others will attend the serv- ice. On the lines of the Connecticut company repair shops too are silent, except for a few men maintained in case of the always imminent but carefully guarded against accident. Offices are closed and at the stroke of b, every car will proceed to a place of safety and come to a standstill, there to remain for five minutes with the power cut off. In the Southern New England tele- phone exchange, the office is closed. The repairmen have been sent home. Again only an emergency crew re- mains on the job. Even at the switch- board, the operators who must be on !duty 24 hours of every day, will see 4 most unusual ocourance, one that many operators will see for the first 'time. A busy switchboard will sud- denly cease. No impatient subscrib- ars will grow irritable at lack of serv- ice and every telephone in the city will be silenced for the space of one full minute. Musicians All There Musicians who play in any of the local bands will turn out in thefr uniforms and proceed to the park, where under the capable leadership of Edward J. Lynch, a veteran bandsman with more than a quarter of century’'s experience, will lead them in playing the favorite hymns of the dead presi- dent, “Lead Kindly Light,” and “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” hymns Wwhich as a coincidence were the fav- drities of the late William McKinley, another former president who was so much alike in character to Warren @. Harding. At the park the exercises will be opencd at 2:45 o'clock by Judge Wil- llam C. Hungerford. A selection will be rendered by the combined bands of the city. s Promptly at 3 o'clock Mayor An- gélo M. Paonessa will read his proc- Imation. “Lead Kindly Light"” will be ren- dered by the choir of the First Con- gregational church.” Extracts from the Bible will read by Rev. William Ross of First Baptist church. Rev. Dr. Abel Ahlquist of the First Lutheran church will invoke the di-|: vine blessing. “The Homeland,” will be nung by the guartet. A eulogy by the Rev. John T. Win- ters, pastor of St. Mary’s Catholic church will follow a eulogy by C. F. Bmith, chairman of the board of di- rectors of Landers, Frary & Clark, and in turn will be followed by a eulogy by Rev. Henry W. Maler, pas- tor of the First Congregational church. o “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” will be sung by the quartet. A detail of sail- ors and ex-servicemen commanded by William ‘W. T. Squire, commander of Eddy-Glover post, American Legion, will fire a salute. Rev. Gustave E. Pihl of the Swedish Bethany church will pronounce the benediction, while a bugler of the Legion will sound ‘“taps.”” The program will conclude with “America” by the massed bands. At 5 o'clock, at the actual time the body is lowered into ‘the grave at Marion, 0., every wheel in the city will come to a standstill. Trolley cars, telephone service, everything will stop. Traffic will cease on the streets and pedestrians will stand with heads bared for five minutes. Church bell§ will toll 29 strokes, the chimes on the South church will ring out a sol- emn funeral selection, and the bells again will toll 29, indicating the de- ceased presidnet’s age 58. And thus does New Britain join hand in hand with other communi- ties and her thousands of citizens share the grief of more than a hun- dred million others in the loss of one who still lives in the hearts of his fellow citizens. Additional orders from Washington were reccived at the New Britain postoffice this morning placing the local office on what is practically a hollday basis. According to the new orders all windows will be closed from 8 o'clock for the balance of the day. There will be no mail deliveries this afternoon of any kind. The last mail to leave the city will be at 7 o'clock this evening rand there will be but one collection this afternoon, that will bs between 7 be the the hours of 6 and 7 o'clock and will be from the business | section and substations only. With this exception everything will close at the postoffice for the day at 3 o’clock. POLICEMAN SLAYS ROBBER Veith Shoots One, Captures Another in Chicago Pistol Fight. Chicago, Aug. 10.—Returning the fire of two safeblowers, whom he | trapped in the Standard Oil filling sta- tion at Sixty-third and Morgan streets early yesterday, Policeman Gerhard J. Veith killed one and captured the other. The careless use of a pocket flash- light proved the robbers' undeing Veith, noticing the flash in the sta- tion, .investigated and peering through | a window, saw the men crouched at | the safe. Drawing his revolver with his right ’ hand, he smashed the glass with his left and ealled on the thieves to sur- | render. Their answer was a volley of | mkots in his direction. Veith directed | several shots at the figures whom he | knew to be in the station and when the smoke had cleared away the two men were huddled on the floor. | Present Law DIM; MAY SHINE AGAIN in London Compels Dances to Stop at . 12 0'Clock London, Aug 10.—England \needs a An new law regulating public houses and places owners of London's hotels and dance halls, who have banded together to obtain less stringent *laws matter of closing their plac of entertainment, say the in the The present law, which is adhered to vigorously by the authorities, was passed in the reign of George II, in 1751, places of all stroke of midnight. the authorities may grant special li- censes for specific ‘places to remain and requires that the dance classes close at the Under this act open umil later, but generally thef stick to the Georglan habits, and night life in London comes to a halt at 12 o'clock, At the present time many of the cafes in London have permits to re- main open a few nights a week, but there is nothing certain’in the present arrangements and they are changed as often as a new council is elected or the present members feel inclined.
