MANY PASTORS PRESENT Besides the pastors who conducted tho services, other ministers present were: Tho Rev. P. J. Ryan and tho Rev.

The funeral was attended by no pomp or procession. Simply and In accordance with tho wlshe. of ti Jity officials and of tho city, the sad duVy of Interment wa3 per formed.

Confusion In marks of Identity on tho dead bodies of Mrs. Anna liniuni, whoso single name was Anna Culver, and Mar guerlto Hoffman, both victims of the' Eddy stone disaster, has caused tho husband nf the former, Harry Braum, to demand that the disputed body bo oxhumed. ' Miss Hoffman's body (or Mrs. BraunVs) was Identified by MJss Hoffman's father by a bunion on her left foot. Ho w.ih given charge of the corpse. Soon nf tor .that Mr. Hraum claimed tho body ns that of his wife claiming ho knew it by Ingrowing toenails'. Both girls wero mangled beyond recogni tion, it Is believed that Identity will finally bo established by settlement of tho Ingrow ing toenail clue. Out of tho mass of Investigations, rumors, stories nnd Improbablo theories that liavo sprung up ns a result of tho Ed dystono holocaust nothing tangible has de veloped to show that tho origin of the explosion In tho shrapnel-loading building last Tuesday could bo definitely traced.
