. London, May 20.—Edward the Peace
maker was laid to rest today In the
tomb of his forefathers at Windsor,
while all the world gave homage to
hla memory. Nine kings with bent
heads followed the casket afoot thru
the streets of London, thru a lane of
35,000 troops bowed upon their arms.
Following the kings were princes of
royal blood gathered from all parts of
the world and special envoys appoint,

In the moat splendid and Imposing fu

seen. Among these latter was Theo

from the United - States. Along the
route of the funeral procession from
Westminster to Paddington station,
whither,the remains were borne on a
gun carriage, fully 5,040,000 pertona
were banked behind the troops. Bor

What One of Them Says—
That The Georgian's classified ad

witness to this fact Is Edward H.

His testimony tells about real
money too. It Is to the effect that
his real estate advertising In The
Georgian from May 1 up to the pres
ent time has brought him 1400 in
commissions.
The sales which brought In this
Tien In commissions were not large
sales, but a number of small ones.
They were, for the most part, of
homes of moderate coat. Mr- Walker
makes a specialty of College Park and
Atlanta bombs In the suburbs.
A little figuring shows that com
missions have been turned Into Mr.
Walker’s pockets by advertising In

his

It was on' the arm of her son, Britain's

procession started from Buckingham,
where the visiting monarch# have been
guests. Thru silent throngs. Hastening
to the funersl route, they were driven
to Westminster. There the cortege
formed. There was no delay. At the
appointed minute, 9:45, the guard of
honor stepped aside. The royal In
signia—the crown, the orb and the
scepter—were removed; the oaken rac

same which lay on the coffin of Vic
toria nine years ago.
* Eight giant non-rommissloned offi

throng of royalty within the hall to
the gun carriage.
At the same moment the muffled
drums of the Royal Guards' bands
broke Into the long roll. The deep
rumble echoed thru the silent streets
and the expectant crowds quivered.
Immediately behind the gun carriage
Prince Louis of Battenherg took his

Following the announcement Thurs
day of the first suit filed against W. P.
Kelly, the real estate dealer, and nf
thm statement of hla creditors that he
ha dleft the state, a large number of
suits, attachments and claims against
him were rushed to the courts late
Thursday afternoon and early Friday
morning, each creditor trying to beat
the other to court to secure a prior
lien.
The, claims for tho most part were
for small amounts, a large number of
them being mechanic! and laborers'
liens on houses alleged to have been
built for Mr. Kelly.
One of the largest creditors filing
suit Friday morning was the R. O.
Campbell Coal Company, who claims,
on notes and open accounts, sums ag
gregating 1950.
They allege that Mr. Kelly has ab
sconded and that before he left he
transferred some of his property for
the purpose of avoiding the payment
of his debts.
It Is alleged that' he conveyed for
this purpose a lot on Waldo-at., 40 by
93 feet, and also a lot on Greenwood -
aye., 39 by 135 feet, and that on May
17 he conveyed his automobile to Mrs.
W. P. Kelly.
The coal company gave a 32,000 bond
and an attachment was Issued to be
levied on the real estate mentioned.

The West made an earnest plea for
the elimination of the word ''South,"

that It was not the name, but the stand

majority report recommending the

Chicago, May 20.—Halley's comet
passed' the sun's disc on schedule time
about 9 o'clock Wednesday night. It
contained comparatively little solid
matter. Its tall, looped like a 10.000.-
ooo-mlle question mark, did not pass
across the earth. A consensus of scien
tific opinion today falls to furnish any
explanation for thla amaalng and un
looked-for phenomenon, but It was thor
oughly agreed that the comet's tall hod
suffered a gigantic curvature.
"Did we pass thru the tall yesterday
or are we passing thru It now?" Theso
are questions upon which astronomers
are divided In opinion. There will be
absolutely no way to tell when the
transit takes place until we see the
comet In the west. "I believe, tho,
that we will see It after the sun sets
Friday." Director Frost, of tpe Yerkes
observatory at Williams bay, said to
day. '
Professor Frost said he hoped the
comet could be seen tonight and that
tho puxxle could be solved.
"it is quits possible we may be In the
tall of the comet now. and equally pos
sible that we may not pass thru It at
all. because of the audden curve It has
developed." said he. "If we are In the
tall there (a no way of telling It, be

morning.
"Dr. Hale's, observations would seem
to Indicate that we have not yet. re ached
the tall and that Its curve away from
the earth is still more pronounced. Thla
i. nothing uncommon with .comets,
ipwever. because their tails often turn
add twist or even break up with sur
prising rapidity.
"The observations of the transit con
firmed the opinion of the beat authori
ties tha* a comet has really very am ill
mass Indeed. The nucleus of Halley's
was not large enough and solid enough
even to he visibl- as e black dot cross
ing the sun. This confirms my belief
that the earth could collide with a
comet of the slxe of Halley's and suffer
no in effects. The whole comet If
compressed could be carried uw»y In «•
freight train and a comet of that slaw
striking the earth probably .would re
sult In a brilliant shower of meteors
and nothing more."
Professor Philip Fox. of Dearborn
university, tried all night In a vain ef
fort. walling for the clouds to break, to
obtain some observations.
“Observations and calculations in a
few davs will tell us whether we passed
thru the comet's tall or not. and If so,
when." said he. The behavior of the
comet le freakish, but It hardly coukl
be called a surprise, because comets
usually do surprising things. Tho
Moorehnuso comet In 1193 (witched Its
tall 45 dogrees in a single night."
