GEORGIA LADY WILL NOT VISIT BIGHAM FLORENCE OFFICIALS DO NOT BELIEVE MRS. CHAPMAN MILL COME THERE. Says the Florence Daily Times: * In view of a letter which Jailor J. fL Cook has written Mrs. Chapman, mother of Dr. Chapman who is serving a Life sentence for the murder of Walter Wade in Georgia, it is not believed that the aged woman will make the journey to Florence in the effort as has been suggested in press dispatches, to secure from Edmund Bighorn a confession that he. and not Dr. Chapman, is the murderer of Wade. 1 - mottor nf fuot tViprr> nre none here conversant with the cao who believe that Bigham could be guilty of the Georgia chime. Jailor Cook wrote Mrs. Chapman several days ago that in his opinion her trip to Florence would be time thrown away; that h ? ,had no idea Bigham could be persuaded to say a word, and even if he knew anything about the death of Wade h? would keep his information to himself. Jail officials here do not know whether Mrs. Chapman is coming or ^ not They do not believe that she will. Bigham stated Sunday that the eorgia story had been spread around Florence county to prejudice his cast; in the killing of his mother, sister brother and two children, of which erime he was convicted by a Florence eounty jury Monday. "I have been automobile riding with nlatives of Wade after his death and if these people suspected me in connection with the case c moutd not have continued their friend ly relations with me." said Bigham. There have been no developments in the Bigham case since Monday. He * being held in the Florence county jail pending receipt of orders from the governor to transfer him to the penitentiary. Bigham spends most of his time reading the Bible. Mrs. Bigham, who fainted when she heard the news of her husband's conviction, is still confined to her bed and is under the cane of a physician. o CARDINAL GIBBON'S FUNERAL. Greatest Event of Kind in History of Catholic Church in America. Baltimore, Mar. 31.?The greatest assemblage of church dignitaries ever massed on tihs continent gathered here todry for the funeral of James Cardinal Gibbons. They came from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and from the Dominion across the borto mourn the prelate, the American, the man. In the great procession which formed for the pontificial requiem mass were numberless priests and the mitred heads of a hundred dioceses. To the Cathedral of the Assumption of fhe Blessed Virgin Man*, on the heights overlooking the city the cardinal's birth, also came lay deleagtes representing the Catholic organizations, diplomatic Washingtan and Americans differing in creed hot united in their love for the dead ehurchman. TKav camr* for a ceremonial un-1 matched in the ecclesiastical history of the United States, for in addition to all the honors that the Roman Catholic church in America could shower on a servant ol^ and tried, there was bestowed upon the dead a special gift from the Vatican. In special recognition of the American prelate's service to the church, the Pope decreed that the Gregorian Choral Society of St. Mary's Seminary should sing at today's mass a solemn Gregorian chant previously heard ?dy at the funeral of foreign ruiers of the Catholic church in the Sistine chapel in Rome. By 9 o'clock, an hour before the time set for the ceremony, streets surrounding the cathedral were so crowded with clergy and liaty that not a square inch of pavement could be seen. At 10 o'clock the wholp oty, by gubernatorial and mayoral proclamation, was urged to drop every activity for a minute in repect tir a man it had numbered among its most distinguished citizens. Every motor, every street car, every wagon was directed to stop in' its tracks when the docks of the city tolled 1U. Early in the morning the clergy began forming in front of Calvert Hal! college, diagonally opposite the cathedral, for the processional It was an impressive spectacle. Clergy in the colors of their respective orders headed^ the line, and behind: them came the secular clergy, followed by the Monsignori Cardinals (^Cornell and Regin and Achbishop John Bonzano, apostoliV delegate and celebrant of the mass. All the higher chureh dignitaries wore mourning colors of purple. Inside the cathedral, under the gllted dome at the foot of the center aisle, lay the body of James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore. He rested on apurple-covered catafalque, dressed in his archbishop's J i c * * robes, wearing on his head his arch bishop's mitre and on one finger the ring that so mnay thousands had kiss ed during his life. The rays of tal white candles lighted his benign features. At the foot of the bier was th< cardinal's hat of red. It was obvious that only a smal part of the thousands who soughi entry in the cathedral would be able to pass under the great portico, wit! its tall columns draped in purple anc black. Most of the space was allottee to the clergy, and admittance was b\ ticket only. But this did not shake the great army of mourners in their hope ol attending the mass, or at least, massnrnnm! the ereat stone uile. ol catching the strains of church music that might be wafted to them. Disappointment staring them in the face they stood their ground with the samr determination that had been displayed by the tens of thousands who yesterday pressed their way into the edifice to view the body of their devoted leader. As varieH as the flock to which the cardinal had ministered in life was the flock that sought to miniate) to him in death. Men, women, an? little children he loved, stood in lines surrounding the cathedral to show reverence to the man they loved. Today really held two ceremonies One was the great church assemblage at mass?the church bestowI ing its honors on one who long hac served it faithfully. One was tht simple burial service in the crypl of white marble under the cathedra santiary?the relatives and closesi friends taking final leave of one verj dear to them. Cardinal Gibbons is the seventl soldier of the church to be buried ir this vault, and to him was allottee a place on the north side. The lasi time the crypt was opened was ir 1872, when Archbishop Spaulding wai buried there. > o For the Children 7^0,000 babies and children in Eu rope are wearing rags and newspap trs.
