ALAMO OPENED TO
GENERAL FUNSTON
Signal Honor Is Paid by San
. Antonio to Late Com
v mander of Army.
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--

VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Wash..
Feb. 20. (Special.) General Frederick
Funston. who died suddenly at San
Antonio, was stationed at Vancouver
Barracks in 1903 and 1904, coming
from Fort Leavenworth. 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. He has
many friends here.
He was in command of all the troops

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.

Support of Crews by Gerinan Cities
and Towns Proposed.
COPENHAGEN, via London, Feb. 20.-
The Kiel Zeitung, a copy of which
has been received here, announces that
a new plan for the promotion of Ger
many's submarine war is starting
throughout Germany.
Under the plan it is proposed that
the important towns each "adopt" one
submarine and its crew, entirely de
fraying the cost of the upkeep of the
vessel and men, supplying them with
clothes, provisions and luxuries and
paying pensions to disabled men or
widows.

IVE VESSELS ARE SUNK
without first being authorized by a
majority vote of the people.
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.

Shredded cabbage dressed with pea
nut butter thinned with cream and sea

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

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.
