They formed a part of the procession and later took part In the exercises at the hall. Here St. Cecelia's choir furnished the music, assisted by the school children, and the musical feature of the outdoor exercises was contributed by three bands, the "White Eagles of East Chicago, polish societies, the Indiana Harbor band and a band from Whiting.

WORKIHG -P. THEORY Police Now Believe Parkside Man Was Slugged to Death in Cab.

Belief that Robert C. P. Holmes was slugged to death in a cab, carried to the mouth of the alley m the rear of Lyon & Healy's music store and there abandoned, started the Central police upon n new line of Investigation in the murder mystery Saturday. Whether Mr. Holmes was robbed in the cab or later became the victim of "Jack rollers" has not been established, but the circumstances tend to bear out the cab theory. "I have made a thorough investigation in regard to the cab story," said Assistant of Police Schuettler. "I have put men to work among these cabmen to learn if any of them carried Holmes, the evening before the body was found. The fact that the victim's clothes were not soiled or muddy showed very plainly that he was not dragged into the alley, and it is very possible that he was carried there from the cab." Mrs. Holme at her home, 6647 Monroe avenue, Parkside, is still under the care of a physician as an effect of the murder of her husband. Mr. Holmes was buried from his late residence at 1 o'clock Saturday afternpon and a larger crowd was never before to a funeral in tnat district than Saturday. t A special detail of police were sent out to keep the crowd from the house.

Fire broke out yesterday evening about 7 o'clock above the restaurant of William Kaiser, One Hundred and Nineteenth street, gutting two of the rear rooms and destroying the turniture resulting in a losa estimated at $500. The fire was caused by a lamp explosion, which occurred almost in the hands of Mrs. Kaiser, who was carrying it. Seeing the flame shoot down into the tank of the lamp she hurled it from her, scattering the oil over tlx floor, which was instantly aflame. Mrs. Kaiser retained enough presence of mind to throw a blanket over the flames and then ran to the hallway, where she fainted from fright. In her unconsciousness she fell down the steps to the bottom of the stairway but was uninjured. One of the rooms was occupied by Nicholas Wagner, who is employed in the bakery. t Loaes f75 ia Fire.

And the blaze itself furnished as much excitement for Whiting as two ball games and a badger fight rolled into one. The building is the property of Smith and Bader and is fully In sured.
