Gaddis were held yesterday afternoon at the First Presbyterian church. Rev. Kdwin Hart Jenks officiating. In alluding to Mr. Gaddis’ death Rev. Mr. Jenks said: “There seems to , be a fitness in death when it comes nt the end nf a long and useful life, to which scripture refers as the 'hat vest,* but when death takes one in the crowning glory of the day, and destroys the promise of achievement and honor yet to come, then it seems tragic to us whose eyes are blinded from Goil's all-wise ways. His day had a glorious rising, growing more and more beautiful as it comes be foie the meridian." Rev. Mr. Jenks spoke of the wide spread sorrow caused by the death of Mr. Gaddis ;of his popularly among his friends and associates, both soci ally and politically. Senator Hitchcock was unbale to attend Mr. Gaddis' funeral, owing to sickness in his immediate family.

Oniahans Help Kin Abroad by Buying Marks German Currency Slumps to l>5.000 Marks for Dollar— \o Large puanlilies Bought Here. There was no rush to buy 45,000 marks for a dollar yesterday, accord ing to local banks, although anyone could have dune so. The slump caught several thousand residents of Omaha and vicinity with marks in their possession, but few held them in any large quantities. Bankers and brokers found it diffi cult to estimate the possible number of holders. Officials at the Hitv Na tional said it had been a year since they suld marks in any uimntity as in investment. Such demand as j there has been come mainly from Herman Ammieuns who have bought in order to send relief to relatives in ! Hcrmany. they said, and the testi mony was corroborated bv other insti tutions. The Peters National reported a fairly steady demand, but mostly for} speculative purposes. Most invest ments were in small amounts when people took flyers because marks were cheap. Representatives of the Interstate Printing company, which does a large business in foreign exchange, stated that in their dealings they found no Inlying for speculation, although they get from eight to -10 calls a day for marks. Most of that money is sent to Germany by drafts, they say. It is believed that 1 h20 saw the peak of speculation in marks in Oma ha. At that I into t hey wei o selling ;.t l i> nts apiece. Speculators have either bought drafts on banks in the leading lilies of Germany and then depostlcd them on six months or a year time certificate*, or else bought llio durreney outright. Assistance is being rendered tier mans in the fatherland by their rela tives and friends in America. One man recently cleared a mortgage for his brother in Germany of lSO.HOO marks. It cost him just $16 to save Ids brother from financial ruin. The money is sent either by draft in marks, payable at the going rate in New Verb, or in American dollars, and in a period of rapid downward trend of the mark this latter is the most profitable method.
