TRANSPORT 5,000
10 RESTIN CHINA
Bodies of Orientals Who * Have
Died in This Country Will Be
Sent Home for Burial.
EYES NEVER CLOSE HERE
Followers of Confucius Must Be
Interred in Native Land to
Reach Heaven.
Ia >X ANGEIiES, May thn<-
Id tlu> next six months a ship will
lsasve San T><1ro with tbe most ca
rtons and (rrewsome cargo that ctpt
lett Southern California. The cargo
will consist of the remains of be
tween B,000 and 6.000 Chinese who
hare died In tbts country in the last
30 years. It will be tbe largest single
removal of human remains In the
world’s history, and the preparations
Pave been carried forward so quietly
that no comment has been occasioned.
Hearly a year ago the Chinese Con-
edlldated Benevolent Association of
Sati Francisco, sometimes known as
tbe Chinese Six Companies, took out
permits for the removal of the re
mains of fh# Chineae who are buried
in Northern California, and op to this
time more than 5,000 skeletons have
been eolinmed and prepared for ship
ment.
Sealed in Tin Boxee.
The bonea are carefully wrapped,
each in a separate piece of soft cloth,
in order that they may not be dallied
by handling nor injured by undue
friction, and are then placed in a tin
box and carefully sealed. On tbe out
side of the boxes are placed charac
ters giving the name and the family
of the deceased and the village, dis
trict and province from which he
catne.
When tbe cargo reaches China the
remalna will be taken in charge by
the relatives and friends who in many
cases have been waiting for them for
more than 50 years and will be in
terred with all due hoifors that should
bo accorded to such ob have adven
tured far Into strange lands.
The Chinese Benevolent Association
of Los Angeles is now seeking permis
sion to take ut> the remains of their
countrymen who are burled in South
ern Ca'iJqtTtia. This work will he !>e-
ii* aK soon as tbo necessary permits
are grunted, and since there are less
than 1,000 Chinese buried in this part
of the State, will not take more than
three or four months.
Eyes Never Close.
The Chlneee believe that the eyes of
the dead never close as long as they
are buried in a foreign land, and
how is ono to rest in the long sleep if
* the spirit may not close its eyes?
When a Chinese leaves home to en
ter another country and seek fortune,
he goes in a totally different way than
does a man of any other nationality.
There Is in it the spark of adventure,
and the average Chinese makes no ef
fort to maintain his station in the
country to which he goes. We And
scholars and poets working in kltch-
eps and over laundry tubs, in order to
get the wealth necessary to return to
China and hold his proper position
there. Until late years, there were no
Chinese who did not fully intend to
return, so their fellows feel that they
are only doing their duty in sending
the remains back to relatives and
thus ending the pilgrimage.
When the work of exhuming and
preparing these bodies has been com
pleted a ship will be chartered, prob
ably one of the Dollar line, as Cap
tain Robert Dollar is one of the best
friends the Chinese have.

upon the lad. Were he a year or two
older I would demand that he be
hanged."

“The boy should hang or be sub
jected to sterilisation. He is a de
generate of the lowest type."

ting a continuance. He will be given

UNITED STATES COURT
WILL SIT ON HIGH SEA
WASHINGTON, May 3.—Orders
have been issued for the Government's
“floating court” to make ready to
tour the Icy waters of Alaska and
dispense justice there. Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo has Issued in
structions to the commander of the
revenue cutter Thetis to be prepared
to report at Valdez July 13 to take
aboard Justice Overfleld, of the Fed
eral District of Alaska, together with
his court officials.
During July and August, and well
into September, the Thetis will touch
at many ports in which the court
will hear and adjudicate both civil
and criminal cases.
Since the “floating court” was In
troduced statistics Rhow that crime
in the far northern possession of the
United States has materially de
creased.
Great Dip Nearly Filled and Com
pleted Street Will Open Up
New Section.
People passing the Junction of
Peachtree and Ivy Streets the past
few days have noticed a quick cl.ange
in the latter thoroughfare. .Moun
tains of earth have been hauled by
the county to fill In the gaps caused
by regrading, and at the present rate
only a few more days will be re
quired to fill the deepest depression,
between Peachtree and-Baker Streets.
When the new level is attained the
street will be nearly as high as
trolley wires and other wires are now,
and a great many trees will have to
be cut />ut of the way.
The effect of regrading will be to
put Ivy Street more nearly on a level
with Peachtree, and this, it is be
lieved, will operate materially to re
lieve Peachtree congestion. The com
pleted thoroughfare will also open up
to a great extent the territory around
the Auditorium-Armory.
A number of citizens have com
plained that the old cobble stones
are to be replaced, but property own
ers consider this the best paving they
can furnish at present.

That the ereption of skyscrapers

in, is one of the largest in the coun
try, with branch offices in the prin
cipal cities, and its manager, W. B.

ilar establishments.

New Y'ork, and now hits under con
tract buildings worth $3,000,000 or
more. It had the contract for the

York City, for the Dix Memorial
Chapel In Trinity Churchyard. New
York, and is now building a $4,500,000
