8 B TJKARST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, OA„ SUNDAY, MAY 4. 1013. 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.

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.
