The burial at Pineview cemetery was private but at Christ church where the final rites were held by Rev. Howard E. Ganster Mr. Weiss' hundreds of friends, those whom he had known in his private and public life, gathered from all over the state. Hundreds At Church The church was filled to overflow-- ing as the various organizations of the city and state and county rep-- resentations took their seats. Wau-- keganttes, admirers of the repre-- sentative who passed away at . his home Monday, were there in large numbers. Those unable to get into the church stood outside as the ser-- vices got under way. Few, if any funerais, quite compared with that of the popular legislator. Floral pieces beyond description filled the bhome. As a husband, a father, a public official and a man he was highly extolled. His passing had left a vacancy which will be diffi-- eult to fill. ing his 30 years of residence in Waukegan endeared himself to all who came in contact with him, was laid to rest Thursday afternoon. Congressman -- Carl _ Chindblom, Speaker Robert Scholes of the hcuse of represeftatives, Congress-- man--At--Large 'Henry _ Rathbone were among those present. Lauded For Virtues. Speaking from the words of St. Paul as recorded in the fifteenth chapter of the Epistle to the Corin-- thians "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death" the Rector of Christ Church spoke of the in-- ability of lmn-t.o accept Death as the . end of That that which we were accustomed to call death was not an ending of man but a transition stage in the life of man. That immortality was _ accepted more universailly today than ever before. That the revelation of Jesus: Christ was the hope of the world and had led man to higher of thoughtand of living than w{ had ever experienced. The Rece-- tor referred to Mr. Weiss as a man who had, to his kauweldge, made profession of a formal creed Christianity as held b'thp churches today, but that Mr. Weiss believed that being a real man living under the Golden Rule was to be a Chris-- tian. He spoke of the deceased's unfailing kindness, gentleness, and large vision in matters of city and state. He spoke of the absence of personal animosity on part of Mr. Weiss even amidst the heat of political contest. In closing his remarks Mr. san-- ster read the favorite poem of Mr. Weiss as an expression of creed in which the deceased Iplicvod. It _BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

Waile firm and fearless in opinion as well as action, he was also ten-- der and kind in his personal con-- tarts and never refused an oppor-- tunity to be of assistance and ser-- vice to others. He was genial and courteous and possessed a ,Ilt of wit and humor which Bbis riends w:ll never forget. "His views and acts in matters of public concern were always sound and based upon knowledge and con-- victicn. He had a rare faculty for appraising ('men _and -- analyzing measures, -- Himself entirely devoid of sham and pretense, he had no patience with others who practiced gui'e or deception. In all, he was a delightful companion, a safe and wise counsellor, an able public ser-- vant, and a true friend. Rep. William F.

He had taken his life, it is believed, by putting a bui-- let through his temple. A 22 calibre rifle was at his side. The discovery was made Tuesday m;ileu at 5 o'clock by Carliss Cole, an-- other teamster, when he climbed into the loft to get hay for the horses. Cole immediately left the loft and informed Shield's brother of his dis-- covery. The latter called the police. The body was removed to the Wenban funeral parlor on orders of the police pending the inquest. . As far as the police have been able to learn Shiel has never been subpect to periods of despondency. His brother said that as far as he knew his brother had never threat-- ened to take his life. Inquiry by the police to deter-- mine if Shiel had recently been in-- volved in a love affair brought the E 3 that he was a confirmed nor.

MAN VICTIM OF SUICIDE ARE GRANTED Auto Strikes Moving Train Adoiph Anderson, 30 yiem '°§¢ of Wheeling, seriously _ injured early mymming when his auto-- mobile struck a freight train on the Soo Line at Prairie view. The acci-- dent occurred at one o'clock Friday morning at the Soo Line crossing on route 42. Anderson was driving west and| his car, a Chrysler sedan, was evi-- dently traveling at too high a rate of speed to stop when the driver saw the train passing over the crossing. | The auto struck the fifth car from the engine which was loaded with / lumber and the force of the impact was sufficient to knock the car from the track. Several feet of track were torn to pieces by the collision and the parts strewn along the railroad right of way. Anderson was thrown clear of the wreckage and was found by the train crew lying on the pave-- ment, bleeding profusely from sev-- eral deep cuts on his head and on his left hand and arm. Drs. Taylor and Penney hurried to the scene of the accident and the injured man was taken into a nearby house where his cuts were dressed and an ambulance summoned to take him to the Highland.Park hospital. X--rays taken after his arrival there showed a dislocated hip and a com-- plete fracture of the pelvis. His entire body has been placed in a cast and, though his injuries are serious, it is thought that he has a good chance for recovery.

Block, in connection '{fll the death of Frank Prestopuick, 58, :a roomer at 906 Adams street, after Coroner John L, Taylor revealed to the jury at the inquest that Pres-- topnick had died of a broxen neck and not alchoholism as first believed. The jury, after bem;:g Novak testify that he engaged a drunk-- en street brawl with Prestopnick, Sunday night, in which he knocked the latter down, and, after bearing three boys who carried Prestopnick to his room following the battle, tell that the man complained of pains in his neck, returned an '"open ver-- dict.' The decision reached by the jury was a short one, simply stat-- ing that "Frank Prestopnick came to his death from a broken neck, causes unknown." Criticises Jury Coroner John L. Tyalor Tuesday morning in commenting on the ver-- dict, severely criticised the jury in their decision. "From the testimony brought out at the hearing there could be no doubt but what the fight indirectly if not directly, caused Prestopnick's death and I do not believe the jury is justified in returning the verdict it did," Dr. Taylor said. Assistant State's Attorney Block, however, did not let the finding of the jury influence him and at the conclusion of the hearing, which lasted over four hours, placed the criminal charge against Novak. _ Bond was u:l at 8}!?." umm a Magistrate Walter . wl was released from #.'.go .r + 'i at 9 o'cloc(k:ha!ter up * of North icago, signed bond. 4 Prestopnick was found dead early f i Monday morning in the bathroom of the house where he roomed.
