Services for Roosevelt Will Be Marked By Simplicity

The funeral services for Theodore Roosevelt today will be marked by simplicity and the absence of an impressive public ceremony. According to his wishes, no flowers will be sent, no honorary pallbearers will be chosen, no eulogies will be delivered.

At the house on Sagamore Hill, there will be a prayer for the ex-President, which members of his family will attend, followed by a Protestant Episcopal service in Christ Church to be read by the rector, Reverend George E. Talmage, at 12.45 o'clock. As the church has a seating capacity of only 500 persons, admission will be by ticket. Colonel Roosevelt will be buried in Young's Memorial Cemetery, a beautiful spot overlooking Oyster Bay cove.

Since Monday afternoon thousands of telegrams of condolence from all parts of the world have poured in. Prominent men all over the United States have through the newspapers expressed their grief at the loss of a man who was everywhere admired and respected.
