JOFFRE, L YING IN STA TE, IS PAID TRIB UTE B Y FRANCE
THOUSANDS FILE PAST BIER OF HEROOFMARNE Weeping Veterans of War Await Their Turns to Enter Chapel. LAST RITES PREPARED Nations Will Pay Homage at Funeral Services on Wednesday. BY RICHARD McMILLAN Imtrd Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, Jan. s.—The body of Marshal Joseph JofTre lay in state on a simple military camp cot at the chapel of Saint Louis today, while thousands of Frenchmen, many of them weeping, filed reverently past the bier. JofTre's head rested on a white cushion. His face, hollowed and worn by suffering, hardly was recognizable. A blue tunic covered his legs, hiding the amputation above his left knee, which was kept secret at the marshal’!?'wish for eight days, while he fought against the poison of gangrene. Many of his countrymen had waited outside the chapel since daylight to pay homage to the great soldier of France. In the marshal’s crossed hands rested a silver crucifix. A military medal was the only decoration on the famous black tunic he wore at tire battle of the Marne, when he gained the nation’s acclaim and love a3 the hero of a d::isive battle. Chapel Draped in Black Joffre’s flag, which was carried behind him by a flag bearer throughout the World war, was placed at his head. At the foot of his simple cot, on nineteen black silk cushions, glittered the forty' military decorations given him by the nations of the world. Also at the foot of the cot, on a separate cushion, lay the marshal’s baton. The chapel -walls were draped in black, and bore the battletorn flags of regiments which were wiped out in the World war, or disbanded after the armistice. \ French war veterans, many of them blind, legless, or crippled, awaited their turn to enter the chapel. Some had seen Joffre in action when he won the titles given him by the people of France, the saviour of Paris and the hero of the Marne. Eight trench guns encircled the old soldier as he lay in death. Giant Candles Lighted The light of four giant candles, held in immense golden candelabrae flickered over his shrunken form like the rays of a soldier’s camp fire. JofTre's body arrived at the chapel of Saint Louis at 7:15 a. m., transferred from the hospital of Saint Jean de Dieu by automobile. General Henri Gouraud, military governor of Paris, and officers of Joffre’s staff accompanied the body on the short journey through the streets of Faris. The marshal’s officers placed the body on the bier and lighted four giant candles at the corners of his bed. Four officers of the Polytechnic school mounted guard, and the first of thousands of Joffre’s countrymen to pay their homage to the great soldier were admitted to the chapel. American decorations given Joffre included the distinguished service medal, combatants’ cross, commemorative medal, and the American Legion medal. Ambassador to Attend The United States will be represented at the funeral Wednesday at Notre Dame cathedral by Ambassador Walter E. Edge and the entire staff of the American embassy. Britain will send fifty of his majesty's guards and a band of twenty-two pieces from the royal air force. Lord Tyrrell, British ambassador, will represent King George. Representation from Germany, turned back by Joffre when her imperiel armies threatened the gates of Paris, had not been announced. The German ambassador, Dr. Leopold von Hoesch, however, called at the.hospital to extend condolences to Madame Joffre the day "after the marshal died. Joffre’s widow and his daughter kept vigil beside his deathbed Sunday night. BATHROOM GAS FATAL Body of Young Man Found in Tub at South Bend. By Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind.. Jan. s—Andrew F.

Hollywood, Jan. s.—Long hours and strenuous work have taken their toll in the ranks of the much-abused motion picture people whose life, they will tell you, is no bed of roses. Many fine actors and actresses
have been the victims of overwork in Hollywood’s biggest industry, including the much mourned Barbara LaMarr and Wallace Reid. But death does not claim them all—sickness sometimes lays them low for months upon end. The latest victims are Renee Adoree and Lila Lee. Lila is confined to a sanitarium in Arizona, fighting a winning battle against tuberculosis. Lila is living in comparative ease and luxury, occupying a small bun-
galow with her maid. But she is not happy in her new surroundings —she misses her friends. Lila Lee was taken to the stage at an early age by Gus Edwards.

TIME-LOCKED VAULT OPENS; ROBBERY BARED Cashier Is Held as New Developments Are Probed by U. S. Officials. By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 5.—A close friendship between Mary V. Curran, 25, telephone operator of the closed Lawrence Avenue National bank sand John E. Malloy, married assistant cashier, was revealed today while angry depositors surrounded the institution demanding their funds. Malloy, accused of embezzling SIO,OOO, despite his insistence that four bandits robbed the bank, was Miss Curran’s superior in the bank, but became “good friend” after hours and took her on night club tours, she told Detective Chief John Norton. “We met when I started working at the bank two and one-half years ago,” she said. “He had been there six months then. Our night club visits were not improper, even if he is married and has two children. My brother went along with us.” Girl Appears Voluntarily Miss Curran appeared voluntarily and told her story as police and federal agents investigated Malloly’s statements. The crowd surrounding the bank was orderly, although some of the men waved their arms and talked of “prosecution,” as they peered through the windows. Tire bank’s doors were closed for an audit of its losses. As Malloy had predicted, the bank's time lock opened late Sunday, revealing that the vault had been looted of SIO,OOO in cash, and that safe deposit boxes had been ripped open. Jewelry cases and non-negotiable securities from boxes were scattered on the floor. Loans Are Investigated The bank’s loss determined, federal examinations called for lists of valuables kept in the safe deposit boxes, having no other way exeept elimination to determine what else was missing. The police investigation of Malloy’s robbery story disclosed * today that the official lent $3,000 to a saloon keeper in November after the borrower was in a murder mystery. Added to that was the declaration to the state’s attorneys office that a depositor saw Malloy hand $3,000 to a race track betting commissioner a month later. President Almost Faints The vault opening, police said, substantiated the story Malloy told Milwaukee police Thursday night—that four men, posing as bank examiners, had called him to the bank New Year’s day, held him up, looted the vaults, forced him to lock the doors and then taken him for a four-hour automobile ride and set him free near the Wisconsin city. Among the few allowed to peer into the vault after the doors were opened was George Pilot, president of the bank. The sight of the deposit boxes ripped open and their paper contents scattered about the floor caused him almost to faint. A few minutes later he announced in an unsteady voice merely that “the vault has been entered and robbed.” One of the most mysterious angles was in the fact that the robbers tore several sheets from ledgers of the bank’s private record of resources and liabilities. Police were puzzled what the robbers wanted with these. VICTOR M'LAGLEN IS SUED FOR SIOO,OOO Slander, Defamation of Character Is Charged by Brother.
