The funeral - party came to Richmond on two special Pullman cars. With congress now confronted with seme of the most important measures ever brought up for consideration in the nation's history it was a distinct tribute to the late congressman from the Sixth Indiana district that so many members of congress absented themselves from their pressing duties to accompany the body of their dis tinguished colleague. Another tribute was paid to the memory of Judge Comstock by the congress when both houses adjourned for the day, Saturday, upon the receipt of the announcement of his death. Under the resolution introduced Saturday by Rep. Dixon, dean of the Indiana delegation, the house of representatives meets the entire expense of the funeral for Judge Comstock and the widow will receive a sum equivalent to a congressman's salary for one year, $7,500. Services Largely Attended. The services at the First Presbyterian church this afternoon were largely attended and an extensive funeral cortege accompanied the body to the grave. Indiana men prominent in the professions, in business and in political activities attended the funeral, there being a particularly large representation from the various counties in the Sixth district.

Would Offer Islands - For Sale to U. S.

at Handsome ANCON, Panama Oanal Zone, May 21. (Correapondenea ot The Associated Press.) Repcrta keep coming to the isthmus of a growing inclination on the part of the people of Ecuador to offer the Oalapagos Islands for sale to the United States. The handsome price paid for tha Virgin Ialands is said to have made a great impression on Ecuadoriana, The I Galapagos Islands ' have long been economically worthless to Ecuador, but all suggestions to sell them have been hailed by opposing politicians as an intrigue to deliver the territory of the country into the hands of foreigners. It may be that the conduct of the United States toward Latin America under President Wilson haa mitigated the distrust of the- United States and inclined the Ecuadorians to consider more leniently American possession of the islands. The Galapagoes lie about eight hundred miles southwest of the canal, close to the road of steamers plying between the canal and New Zealand, Australia, and the rest of Oceania a,nd the lower East Indies. It is asserted that the site would be a strategic point for naval operations, an outpost in the defense of the canal, and a haven for ships of peace or war in a vast stretch of lonely sea. The population of the group Is reported as about four hundred persons. ' MURRAY "Her Own Money." a New York success, a drama in which Miss Maxine Elliot appeared for one year at the Hudson theatre.

It was reported that Walter Bossert of Liberty, Republican district chairman, was also to seek the nomination, but Bossert emphatically denied this report today. Since Saturday Bossert has been besieged by numerous friend of prospective candidate soliciting his support of their favorites. It is generally understood that State Senator Walter S. Chambers of Newcastle, Democratic district chairman and editor of the Times in that city, is to announce his candidacy for the Democratic nomination, and there Is talk that Chambers may be opposed by Douglas Morris, a prominent Rush county Democrat. Former Representative Flnly H. Gray is also a prospective entry for the Democratic nomination. No definite date for the holding of the special election has been set The governor has suggested June 5 as the date but questions involving the primary law must first be Investigated before a definite date Is fixed. This Is the first election of its kind to be held since the enactment of the primary law. Whether congressional candidates to be voted on at a special election are to be nominated at a primary election or at convention is one of the questions now being examined by the attorney general.
