The clergy-! man was close by when Dr. Carl A. j Weiss, Jr., Baton Rouge physician. mortally wounded the senator and was riddled with bullets by Long's bodyguards. I A site on the capltol grounds for the burial place will be selected by a committee of the legislature. This was the final day of a special legis lative session called to act on bills presented to It at the senator's bid ding before he was shot down. None but members of Senator Long's family and close friends were permitted to view the body before it was removed under a heavy guard of state police from a funeral home to the capltol. Plan Impressive Rites Long's associates planned to make his funeral one, of the most Impres sive In Louisiana's history Arrangements were in the hands of the senator's closest friends, headed by Governor Allen, to whom the Long leaders have turned for temporary leadership In the crisis brought oh by the assassination. In Washington, Senators Caraway of Arkansas, Overton of Louisiana, Thomas of Oklahoma and Schall of Minnesota were named to represent their colleagues at the funeral. Hundreds of persons poured Into Baton Rouge, taxing hotels and pri vate dwellings to accommodate the throngs. Politicians Speculate The sense of shock that gripped the city on first news of the shooting and held It In somber silence after the death of Senator Long yesterday gave way to a subdued flurry of spec ulation over what would become of the all-powerful Long state political machine. Whether Mayor T. Semmes Walms ley of New Orleans, Long's bitterest political foe; the square deal associa tion, anti-Long organization with which his troops clashed on the streets of Baton Rouge last January, or others would come Into power and break the Long machine entered the speculation. The fate of the "share-our-wealth" movement, which Long built to nation-wide proportions and hoped to use as a stepping stone to the presi dency of the United States, also was considered uncertain. Leaders here announced Governor Allen would di rect Its activities; others predicted that without Long It would break up. Responsibility unfixed The Inquest called to establish the cause of Senator Long's death result ed in a verdict from the East Baton Rouge parish coroner's Jury that he "came to his death from gunshot wounds of a homicidal character. As Is customary in Louisiana, the ver dict did not fix responsibility for the act. Inability to round up the body guards who pumped their guns Into Dr. Weiss until they had riddled him with sixty-one bullet holes forced postponement until next week of the Inquest Into the eye specialist's death. The general Impression among offi cials was that the bodyguards would be absolved. REDS' BATTING ACE ID SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11. (UP) The Pacific Coast league had un officially lost Its leading hitter and one of Its most consistent pitchers today when Mission team officials announced they had sold Oscar Eck hardt.

(AP) Huey Long was one golfer who never aspired to "break 80." The Louisiana senator argued that when a player became that good, golf took first place and business second In his thoughts. Although he liked the game he Insisted he played It more for exercise than sport. He seldom cracked a hundred. His greatest sport enthusiasm, however, was football. And tops tn his heart was the football team of Louisiana university, "my own" college, as he called it. ROBINSON CASE FIRST WHEN COURT RESUMES HERE IN COMING WEEK Resumption of circuit court here Is scheduled for next week, with the damage suit of Robertson Robinson, 15, against Fire Chief Roy Elliott and Fireman Ed Kanoose, for $50,000 first on the list of cases to be heard.

His leg was caught In the blgh,t of hose the fire truck was unrolling. The plaintiff charges the Injury was due to alleged carelessness and negligence on the part of the defendants, . The defense' filed a counter charge of contrlbutary negligence on the part of Robinson, alleging he failed to seek a place of safety when the fire siren sounded, that he was seated or stand ing by his bicycle in front of the hotel, when the vehicle was struck by the hose, and he sustained Injur ies. The defendants further set forth that they were engaged in the perfor mance of their duty as agents of the city of Medford. In an amended ans wer, they cite that Robinson, through his guardian, upon the payment of $1000 signed a release of the city from all liability. ALASKAN PAPER OIES YAKIMA, Wash.. Sept. 11. (UP) Pioneers of the roaring days of the Klondike gold rush talked mournfully of old times in the north land last night, for George M. Allen was dead. He died at 59 In a hospital at the little town of Toppenlsh, where he published a weekly newspaper for 35 years, far away from the violent, glamorous Yukon country. In 1898 Allen, with his brother. Gene, young printers, packed a press and a few cases of type on a north bound steamer at Seattle, unloaded at Skagway with a mad, hysterical mob of gold seekers. They packed their equipment on their backs and by dog sled over White Pass to the waters of the Yukon river, floated It down on a raft to the boom town of Dawson.
