A few more than a hundred relatives and friends were bidden to private lunerai services by tne laraily. Among them were the personal representatives of President Roosevelt, Admiral William T?. Tarrant and Commander Herbert A. Jones. The huge Hollywood bowl, seating 35,000, and the community Presbyterian Church of Beverly Hills were meeting places for the general public.

Merriam asking a minute of silence throughout California at 2 p. m., the time of the services, was to be followed by city and Federal offices, and most business houses here, with flags at half-staff throughout the day.
