FUNERAL SHIP TO
T
Bodies of Orientals Who Have
Died in This Cotmtry Will Be
Sent Home for Burial,
EYES NEVER CLOSE HERE
Followers of Confucius Must Be
Interred in Native Land to
Reach Heaven.
UOB ANGEIiTCS, May S.~Some tlm*
in the next Fix months a ship will
learve San Pedro with the most eii-
rlous and g-rewsnme cargo that over
left Southern California. The cargo
will consist of the remains of be-
rwi-.en 5,000 and fl.000 Chinese who,
hare died in this country in the last
BO yearns. It will be the largest single
remoral of hnman remains In the
world's history, and the preparations
Hare been carried forward so quietly
that no comment has been occasioned.
Hearty a year ago the Chinese Con-
•dtMaud Benevolent Association of
<*an Francisco, sometimes known ns
the Chinese 81x Companies, took out
permits for the removal of the re
mains of the Chinese who are burled
in Northern California, and up to this
time more than 5,000 skeletons have
been eghnmed and prepared for ship-
meat. '
Sealed In Tin Bo*ea.
The bones ore carefully wrapped,
each In a separate piece of aoft doth.
In order that they may not be defiled
by handling nor Injured by undue
friction, nod are then placed In a tin
box and carefully sealed. On the out
side of the boxes are placed charac
ter* giving the name and the family
of the deceased and the Tillage, dis
trict and province from which he
came.
■When the cargo reaches China the
remains win be taken In charge by
the relatives and friends who in many
cases have been waiting for them for
more titan 50 years and will be in
terred with all due honors that should
be accorded to such as hare adven
tured far into strange lands.
The Chinese Benevolent Association
of Los Angeles Is now seeking permis
sion to take up the remains of their
countrymen who are burled In South
ern California, This work will he be
gun as soon as the necessary permits
are granted, 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.
Eyas Never Close.
Tpe Chinese believe that the eyes of
the dead never close as long ns they
are burled in a foreign land, and
how is one to rest in the long sleep if
the spirit may not close its eyes?
When a Chinese loaves homo to en
ter another country and peck 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 Ills station in the
country to which he goes. We find
scholars and poets working In kitch
ens 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, *o 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 ohartered, prob
ably one of the Dollar line, as Cap
tain Robert Dollar Is one of the best
friends the Chinese have.

another such paroxysm might come
upon the lari. Were he a year or two
older I would demand that he be
hanged.”
Coroner Eugene Norton, of Dundee,
said:
“The boy should hang or he sub
jected to sterilization. He is a de

ease. The special jury has bean
railed to guard against the boy get
ting a continuance. He will be given

UNITED STATES COURT
WILL SIT ON HIGH SEA
WASHINGTON, May 3,—Orders
have* been 1 wrued for the Government's
“floating court” to make ready to
tour the loy 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 Overfield, 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 show 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 change
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 a* high «'is
trolley wires and other wires ar<- now,
an-d a great many trees will have to
be cut out 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-
pltted thoroughfare will also open up
to a great extent the territory around
the Auditorium-Arinory.
A number of citizens have com
plained that the old cobble stones
are to he replaced, hut property own
ers consider this the best paving they
can furnish at present.
Atlanta Good Field
For Skyscraper Work
So Thinks W. B. Paye, Manager of
New Construction Concern
Now Located Here.
That the erection of skyscrapers
and other large public buildings In
Atlanta has challenged the attention
of the largest contracting concerns
in the East is evidenced by the action
of the Cauldwell-Wingate Company,
of Now York City, in opening a
branch office here. This company,
though of comparatively recent orig
in, is one of the largest in the coun
try, with branch offices in the prin
cipal cities, and its manager, VV. li.
Paye, considers Atlanta an unusual
ly good field for skyscrapers and sim
ilar establishments.
Thfi Cauldwell-Wingate Company
has completed in 30 months contracts
involving $8,000,000 in and around
New York, and now has under con
tract buildings worth $3,000,000 or
more. It had the contract for the
24-story Candler Building in New
York City, for the Dix Memorial
Chapel In Trinity Churchyard, New
York, and is now building a $4,500,000
residence for Henry Clay Frick, the
steel magnate, on Fifth Avenue, New
York. The company has also erected
a number of railway stations for a
well-known system running out of
