The Detroit Free Press argues in favor of funeral reform in that city. There would seem to be a great necessity for it from the facts presented. The Press says: "At a funeral at a private residence in the northern part of the city the drivers of the dozen hacks engaged ran up and down the side walk, wrestled, boxed, pitched pennies, and behaved in such a shameful manner as to seriously interrupt the services inside. Then, in returning from Woodmere, those hacks conveying the mourners were halted in front of a lager beer saloon, and kept there ten minutes, while the shameful drivers were in the saloon shaking dice and drinking beer."
