FUNERAL SERVICE SIMPLE Popularity ot Officer Is Shown in Number of Floral Tributes Al most Filling Building: and . Representing All Classes. SAM AXTOTvTO. Tex., Feb. 20. A funeral service of military simplicity; in which reg-ulara at Fort Sam Hous ton. National Guardsmen at Camp Wil on and thousands of civilians from Kan Antonio Joined, was held this aft ernoon for the late Major-General Frederick Funston, commander of the Southern Department, whose sudden death occurred last night from a heart affection. The culminating honor paid the dead General here was- the placing: of tils body within the Alamo, the first time that historic, structure has been used for such a purpose. The only religious services held to day were at Qneral Funton's official residence at Fort Sam Houston- Chap lain Barton W. Perry, of the Third Field Artillery, read the regular Army burial service. "Lead, Kindly Light," wa played by the Nineteenth Infantry Band. A procession formed at the resi dence after this brief service In order as follows: IJollce, mounted orderlies. Nineteenth Infantry Band, Thirty-seventh Infantry, Rattery E of the Seventh Field Artil lery, Squadron A of the Alabama Cav alry, General Funston's body, carried on a caisson; General Funston's horse, pallbearers, officers of General Fun ston's staff and of the Southern De partment. Arrangements for placing General Funston's body within the Alamo were made this morning after a conference between city and county officials and officers of the Southern Department because of the General's personal popu larity with San Antonio citizens. This popularity extended to all classes, as was evidenced this afternoon in the floral offerings, which almost filled the Alamo. Costly floral pieces were side by side with the simple tributes of humble workmen, who, with official beas, filled the building. Train Will Skirt Border. The route "of General Funston's fu neral train for more than 1000 miles wil4 skirt the international border over which the late commander kept a watchful eye for 11 months past. The private soldiers standing at at tention beside the casket on the train wiu be relieved every two hours. At the service this afternoon not an officer attending was in full dress. Like the enlisted men, all wore the regular khaki service uniform, the only distinction being the designating stars, or bars, and the sidearms that the offi cer wore. This was done by regular officers out of consideration for offi cers of the National Guard, many of whom had only service uniforms here. The one incident distinguishing the funeral service of the honored leader from that of any Army officer came Just as the chaplain finished reading the burial service at General runstons residence. At that moment 13 cannon boomed out the Major-General's salute. The band of the Nineteenth Infantry then began playing softly "Lead Kindly Light." Muffled Drama Beat on March. Only once on the two-mile march from Fort Sam Houston to the Alamo did the band play a funeral march. The remainder of the way only the solemn beat of muffled drums marked the progress of the long procession. At the Alamo perhaps the most touching Incident of the funeral oc curred when Brigadier-General Henry A. Greene, commander of the Twelfth Provisional Division at Camp Wilson stepped apart from the group of offi cers with whom he had been standing and approached the casket where Gen eral Funston lay. He gazed Intently at the face a few moments, then bent over, patted the dead commander's head gently, turned and walked out of the building. 125,000. His estate consists of prop erty in the Fast Side business district, mortgages and other securities. One piece of property he owned is that ad Joining the Page apartments at Bast Seventh and Burnside streets, 65 by 100 feet in size. Mr. Clark had lived in Portland for many years. A. A. Kadderly had known him for the past 38 years, and he was appointed administrator of the estate Monday by County Judge Tazwell. Then it was that entry was made to a safe deposit box held by Mr. Clark, and it was found that a will had been made In 1915, dividing his estate. No immediate relatives survive, so far as is known here. Mr. Clark's wife died a few years ago. Girl Typist Not DaMled. Mr. Wheeler, one of the heirs named by Mr. Clark, Is also an old resident here. For years he was a railroad en gineer, and of late he has been work ing for the city. Miss Pearson is not at all dazzled by her sudden fortune. She declined last night to discuss the matter. Mean while she is studying the duties of an executrix so as to carry out the provi sions of the will satisfactorily, and she plans to retain her position with the Union Meat Company, where she has worked for some time past. She lives with her parents at 628 Halsey street, in Irvlngton-- DR. LP.

He was sent from here to the department of Ari zona, being stationed In Colorado. He was in command of the old department of the Columbia, comprising the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, part of Montana and Alaska and all the troops and forts In the district.

London Newspapers Believe One of Two Fishing Schooners Torpe doed Is United States. Yea- ' sel Others Are British. LONDON, Feb. 20. Five merchant vessels were listed by Lloyd's today as having been sunk by submarines. The Norwegian collier Dalbeattie. from Glasgow to Gibraltar, was sunk by shell fire Saturday. Two Ameri cans were on board her. The collier was shelled while the crew was tak ing to the boats. It is declared. The Americans on the vessel were John Guerre, of Los Angeles, and Frank Wood, of Keen, N. H. The latter is suffering from bronchitis aggravated by his exposure of 13 hours in the hip's boats. ( The Newfoundland fishing schooners Mayola (146 tons) and Dorothy (57 tons) have been sunk. Lloyd's Shipping Agency announces today. The nationality of the Dorothy was ot disclosed. Some of the London ewspapers, however, describe her as the American schooner of thatname. ST. JOHN. N. F Feb. 20. It Is be lieved here that the schooner described as Dorothy in a London dispatch an iiouncing she had been sunk was the Newfoundland vessel Rose- Dorothea. The latter was returning to this port from Oporto, Portugal, with fiehery salt. She was formerly owned at Prov lncetown, Mass.. but a year ago was sold and transferred to British registry. The Rose Dorothea. 147 tons gross. was bought last year by Campbell & McKay, of this city. The schooner or dinarily carried a crew of 23, and It la supposed this 'number was aboard when she sailed recently. The British fishing schooner Mayola. also reported sunk, was proceeding at iast accounts from St. Johns for Gib raltar with a cargo of dried codfish. Lloyd's reports Include the sinking of the "British brlgantlne Netherton, 199 tons. BILL TO BE RELEASED ARMY STAFF'S TRAINING PLAN TO BE SENT TO CONGRESS. Secretary Burlce Doe Not Indicate "Whether or Not War Department Will Make Recommendation. WASHINGTON. Feb. 20. The Army general staff universal military serv ice and training bill probably will be sent to Congress during the present session. Secretary Baker Bald today, but he did not indicate what recommenda tion from the War Department, if any. would accompany it. The measure is being put in final shape by the War College staff after conferences with the Secretary and Major-General Scott. The staff plan, based on a year's in tensive Instruction for boys beginning in the 19th year, would bring about half a million men of that age to the colors each year. The Senate military bill, already reported to the Senate, would provide for six months' training tor about the same number of men. Eleven months of training would be given the first year under the staff plan, followed by two weeks of . re view work during each of the next two years. Reservists would not be subject to call thereafter except in case of a war emergency, and then only for defensive operations. The bill makes no provision for the Navy. This is regarded as a detail, however, as at most not more than 250,000 to 300.000 men would be needed for sea service. An elective provision in the bill would Insure the Navy, it is thought, of 60,000 recruits a year, which would be all it required, as naval training must be for two or three years. $10,000 LEFT TO GIRL i'"" ' (Continued From First Page.)

The object of this amendment is to enable the Port of Portland either to go into the steamship business itself or to subsidize vessels for steamship service between Portland and other ports. The Legislature also enacted the necessary laws to make the constitu tional amendment effective. Two, measures submitted to the peo ple by this session were exempted from the special election ballot and will go on the ballot at the regular election in November, 1918. One Is a constitutional amendment, proposed by Representative Sheldon, of Jackson County, for the establishment of two additional Normal Schools one at Ashland and the other somewhere in Eastern Oregon at a place to be se lected by the Normal School Regents. The bill authorises an annual tax levy of one-twenty-fifth of a mill for each school, but none of the money is to be spent for a site. If the Eastern Ore gon School' Is not established at Wes ton, wheae the state owns property, it must be placed on a site presented to the State free of charge. Another measare that will go over to the 1918 election authorizes an expen diture of 8200.000 for the creation of a home, near Portland, for dependent, de linquent and defective children now committed by the State to various pri vate and sectarian Institutions, thus ending the biennial squabble in the Legislature over appropriating money to sectarian schools.

The task was carried out without inci dent at two of the places. The sub marine, when -he approached the third port in the night met a pilot boat. The pilot, who could not Imagine that German submarine could be so far from- its base, spoke to the submarine and asked whether it wanted a pilot. 'The submarine replied that the ship already had a pilot on board. The sub marine then continued its voyage fur ther up the river and placed its mines, which later had excellent results. On the way back the submarine again met the pilot boat, which was sunk." 8 LAWS BEFORE VOTERS (Continued From First Pan.) ECONOMY ME7TTT FOR TOMOR ROW. Breakfast. Coddled Apples Codfish Balls Toast Coffee or Milk Luncheon. Creamed Chipped Beef on Toaat Prune Nut Salad Bread and Butter Tea or Cocoa Dinner. Vegetarian Broth Veal Stew with Vegetables Rice Border Cabbage Salad with Peanut Butter Dressing Cottage Pudding, Prune Sauce - Codfish Vails, chipped beef on toast. prune nut salad and veal stew are among the suggestions of the better- living committee of the Parent-Teacher Council for Thursday's menu. Shredded cabbage dressed with pea nut butter thinned with cream and sea soned with salt and vinegar or lemon juice makes an appetizing and quickly made salad. A recipe for cottage pudding is given below. The sauce is made from the juice of the prunes used at luncheon. Cottage pudding One-quarter cup fat (oleomargarine or crlsco). two-thirds cup sugar, one-naif leaspoonful salt. one cup milk, two and one-quarter cups flour, four teaspoonsful of baking powder. Cream fat, add sugar gradually and egg well-beaten, mix and sift flour, baking powder and salt, add alternate ly with milk to first mixture, turn into greased cakepan, bake 85 minutes or steam one hour and serve warm with heated and sweetened prune Juice. a this season apples need special treatment to develop and retain flavor. It is said that cooking them slowly in syrup and seasoning with cinnamon stick or lemon rind brings out an un suspected spiciness. Codfish bought In brick form Is easily prepared, according to the committee, since all bones have been removed, and it is Inexpensive when the amount of food value It provides Is considered. A happy combination is the prune salad, prunes being containable at spe clal prices. Directions for preparing the salad are: Soak the dried Italian prunes over night, cook In some water, drain, remove seeds, arrange on lettuce leaves, sprinkle with chopped nut meats and serve with boiled or mayonnaise dressing. The nuts may be omitted if stricter economy Is necessary. Other suggestions for dishes are: A brown stew with tender vegetables, onions, carrots and potatoes, served with a border of well-cooked and sea soned rice, is a nutritious and palatable dish. The rice water may be used as soup foundation. this morning Representative Allen Ea ton, who opposed the measure on the floor of the House on Saturday, en tered a written protest in tie "Journal against the enactment of the Bean bill. He made the point that the amendment submitting It to a vote of the people had not been concurred In by a major ity vote or the House. Both houses at this session and at all previous sessions have concurred In amendments by viva voce vote, and if the Eaton objections are sustained a lot of other legislation win De involved. The amendment requiring cities and towns to hold their primary and gen eral elections on the same days that mo state-wide primary and general elections are held merely is a proposal to save money ror the municipalities. Under the present laws the municipal elections are held at various odd times during the year, obviously imposing additional expense. The proposed amendment is for the purpose of dis posing of all elections on the same day. It provides that the same set of judges and clerks shall handle the work. The people also will have a chance to vote on the question of classified as sessmnets. This measure provides for uniform rate of assessment on all property of the same class, but gives the taxing authorities power to make classifications. Under the present law. it is pointed 'out. money, jewelry and sometimes stocks and bonds are se questered by the owners for the pur pose of escaping the payment of tax"es. Under the proposed amendment the assessors would be able to prescribe a low rate on this kind of property which would pay at least something into the treasury Instead of paying nothing at all, as under the present law. Initiative Not Changed. Another amendment is one requiring that all future amendments must de clare on their face the pata of the ' constitution that they propose to re peal. In other words, it seeks to pre vent the repeal of any constitutional article or section by implication. This was the only one of a number of pro posed amendments suggested by, the Constitutional Revision Association that got by. Another one proposed by the City- Club, of Portland, and aiming to make It harder to get initiative measures on the ballot, was defeated in the House. The Senate likewise killed the one requiring a majority of all votes cast at an election to adopt any constitutional amendment. The present law requires a majority of all votes cast on the measure. Senator Huston is author of the pro posed amendment to empower the Port of Portland to engage in the water transportation business. Under the provisions of this measure the port would be able to Issue bonds to the extent of one per cent of the assessed valuation of the district for the pur pose of carrying on Its work, but no such indebtedness could be Incurred NOVEMBER OPERA DATE PORTLA3TD ASSOCIATION WILL NAME PRODUCTION LATER.

So' that a "clear way" may be made to make the music festival a success when the Civic Auditorium is opened next June, and also to give time to the individual business activities of musi cians which have suffered by close at tentlon to recent operatic work In this city, members of the Portland Opera Association at a meeting: held last night at Eilers Hall decided that It would not present an opera in public In this city until November. The board of di rectors recommended In advance that this action be taken. There were 35 members present. The tentative plan now is that the board will in a short time choose an opera for rendition in November, select the principals, so that the latter may learn their music scores, etc., and be ready to qlng- in the opera whenlt is performed in public. . It was reported that the recent per formances of the opera "Mlgnon" had an apparent balance of $202.33. The receipts were $1853.43 and expenditures $1721.65. showing a credit balance of 1131.78. To this later credit must be added $70.55 to be yet received for tick ets given out for sale, and thought to be sold but not ' accounted for. It turns out after- all that there was a deficit of about $11.02 after perform ances of the opera Fra Dlavolo." "The fact of the matter is." said (George Hotchkiss Street, ''40 or 50 tickets ftr 'Fra Dlavolo" are out still and we have not been able to obtain a settlement with these people. The only rway to compel a settlement would be to start court proceedings, but of course this is out of the question." It is tacitly understood that the associa tion will pay the deficit out of its pres ent credits. George Wllber Reed proposed that the association present an opera in May, but the vote on the proposition was. no 14, yes 11. President Kanzler explained that the present books of the association are kept in business shape, and that ac counts are audited carefully. New Giant Airplane Designed. LONDON, Fe 21.
