Too many oaths are administered

flippancy and unconcern as almost
to amount to a farce," District Judge
A. C. Troup of Omaha told the Ne
broska State Bar association in ses
sion at the Fontenelle hotel In pre
senting the report of the committee
on Judiciary, of which he Is the chair
man. "How often have you seen the ad
minister of an oath mumbled in an
unintelligible manner, half of the
words embraced in the obligation and
permit a flippant wave of the hand or
a careless toss of the head to answer
for the rest." said the Judge.
"How often, too, have we seen a wit
ness called to the stand to receive the
oath, particularly one who may have
been a frequent observer of this farci
cal performance we have described,
throwing, up his hand with a quick and
sudden motion and as quickly put it
down again and proceed to tako his scat
in the witneas box before the officer has
well begun the administration of the
oath.'.'

LETTER READ AT
CALDWELL RITES
Communication Written by Banker
Best Expresses High Character
of Man, Says Rector.
CHURCH CROWDED BY FRIENDS
By reading , an old letter from
Victor B. Caldwell. Rer. Thomas J.
Mackay made an unusual departure
yesterday at All Saints' church in the
Episcopal funeral service for the de
ceased president of the United States
National bank. ,
It was a most impressive and
touching service, attended by a
crowd of men and women of many
races and creeds, which completely
filled the church. The reading of
the letter was an Incident that
emphasized the high character,
broadinindedness, magnanimity,
kindliness and charity that marked
the life of the departed financier and
churchman.
Mr. Caldwell wrote the letter to Dr. j
Mackay last spring, while the rector was
ill and the bank president, who was i
unlor Jwarden of the church vestry, had
been forced to seek rest and recreation
from the strain of his duties In con
nection with the bank and It new build
ing. Letter Kx presses Character.
Writing primarily to apologize to the
minister for being unable to call upon
him during his illness, Mr. Caldwell
opened his heart to the rector In a burst
of personal thoughts, which showed the
true character of the banker better than
other words could express, Rev. Dr.
'Mackay declared.
The latter made only a brief eulogy in
addition to reading the letter. Many eye
were dimmed with tears when he fin
ished. He tenderly laid a laurel wreath
upon the bier of the deceased, who was !
a close personal friend of the rector, as i
well as an active member of the parish
and a staunch supporter of church and
charity work.
There was added sentiment in the fact
that the body was carried to its final
resting place by six of Mr. Caldwell's
fellow officers and employes, who served
under him in the bank for many years.
Twenty-one Omaha friends and asso
ciates In Mr. Caldwell's many activities
and three bankers from Chicago and
Denver, acted as honorry pallbearers.
Masses of Flowers.
So many floral tributes were sent by
friends and organisations of Omaha and
other cities that all could not be placed
in the chancel of the church and many
had to be piled In window ledges along
the sdlesvaX. quartet sang "Peace, Perfect
Peace," "Lead. Kindly Light." and other
selections. The funeral cortege was by
auto to Prospect Hill cemetery, , where
Rev. Dr. Mackay conducted the' burial
in the Caldwell family lot.
Prominent bankers from . out in the
state and from Kansas City, Joined rep
resentatives from the Omaha banks, local
organizations and business houses and a-
large gathering of friends, to attend the
funeral. All national banks were closed
for the day at 1 o'clock, out of respect
for the deceased banker and to. allow
officers and employes of the banks to
attend the services.
Bankers from State.
The following were among the promi
nent bankers of the state who came to
Omaha to attend the funeral and thus
pay their tribute to the memory of the
departed financier: Thomas Murray, Dun
bar, president of the Nebraska Bankers'
association; J.C. McNlsh. Wisner, past
president of the state association; Ed V.
Gallagher, O'Neill; T. J. Kastle. North
Bend; T. I Matthews, B. R. Gurney and
F. B. Knapp, Fremont : H. D. Wilson, E.
A. Duff and R. O. Marnell. Nebraska
City; T. H Williams. Aurora: C. F.
Gruenlg, Mullen.
Scores of other state bankers wired !
their regret that Illness or press of busi
ness made it impossible for them to at
tend the funeral.
Because of the funeral leaders in the
executive committee of the Omaha Com
mercial club decided to nostpone their
regular meeting, scheduled for the noon
hour. Borne were honorary pallbearers,
and many of the others also attended the
services.
Choose Baereaaoy Next Mesth,
No successor will be chosen to Mr.
Caldwell until the annual meeting of the
bank, to be held the second . Tuesday In
January. Until then, the bank will be
without a president, so far as formality
is concerned. Milton T. Barlow, vice pres
ident and chairman of the board of
directors, who was president of the bank
until a year ago, la temporarily perform
ing the duties of the presidency again.

MISSOURI SUSPENDED
JEFFERSON CITT, Mo.. Deo. 2. -The

suspended Its recent order providing for
increases In passenger and certain freight
