Simplicity Marks Rites; Throng of 4,000 Fills New Temple Emanu-El, Equal Number Outside New York (J. T. A)—American Jewry, joined by city and state offi cials, leaders of the American bar, paid their last tribute yesterday to the memory of I»uis Marshall. Four thousand men and women, represent ing a cross section of Jewish life in New York and America, crowded into Temple Emanu-El, to pay their last respects, while a group equal in num ber, stood for two hours outside the Temple, unable to gain admittance. A detail of 100 police under the per sonal direction of Police Commission er Whalen were required to handle the crowd. The men and women who had known Louis Marshall personally and shared in his varied activities personally were there; the high and mighty of New' York City and State, the Lieutenant Governor of New York, Herbert H. Lehman, former Governor Alfred E. Smith, the Chief justice of New York Supreme Court, Benjamin N. Cardoza, the negro leader James Weldon John son, the heads of various organiza tions representing Jewish activities in this country, and the thousands who knew Louis Marshall only by virtue of his deeds. Many cities were represent ed and 54 Organizations. In the beautiful Reform Temple, consecrated to Reform Judaism, sat men of every shade of opinion and re ligious belief, Orthodox Jews in high hats and flowing beards, side by side with bareheaded leaders of the reform wing, united by the solemnity of the exercises. Simple religious services consisting of three prayers were the only rites for Louis Marshall. The absence of all eulogies, the utter simplicity lent a deep impressiveness to the services, which lasted one-half hour. Promptly at 10 o’clock when the ex ercises began the honorary pallbearers marched down the side aisle to the Beth El Chapel where the body of Louis Marshall had reposed since its return from Zurich, Monday on the Leviathan, filing past in silent tribute. The figures of Dr. Cyrus Adler, Pres ident of the Jewish Theological Semi nary, wearing a skull cap, and Rabbi M. S. Margulies, President of the Un ion of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States, with his high hat and flowing white beard stood out. The American flag in which Monday the casket had been brought to Amer ican soil, was yesterday replaced by a blanket of red roses. At the first strains of Handel’s Lar go, the casket was lifted to the should ers of ten Jewish members of the New York Police, members of the Shomrim Society, w r ho served as active pall bearers. Walking two abreast, the honorary pall bearers led the pro cession to the altar of the main tem ple. Behind them, black robed, the three ministers of the Temple. Rabbi Samuel Schulman, leading Rabbi H. G. Enelow and Rabbi Nathan Krass together, immediately preceeding the coffin. The entire audience stood as the procession proceeded, the police sta tioned in the Temple, in stiff salute. A solemn silence pervaded the assem blage broken only by the shuffling tread of the pall bearers. Before the altar which Louis Mar shall had presented to the Temple in memory of his wife and parents, on the rostrum from which he was to have delivered the dedicatory address of the still uncompleted Temple of which he was the President, the seal ed casket was placed. A blanket of roses and a wreath to one side were its only tributes. At the request of the family, no floral offerings were sent by organizations. Rabbi II. G. Enelow and Rabbi Sam uel Schulman conducted the services at the temple, Rabbi Enelow recited Psalms DO and l Jl.
