Another Funeral Train Leaves
California With Bodies of
ShTinerS Killed in Wreck.
COACHES DRAPEO IN
BLACK AND WHITE
Relatives and Friends in Sad
Trip to Homes in East
ern States.

Santa Barbara. Cal, May 1.-Two
coaches filled with mourning Shrin-
ers and their wives, accompanies the
baggage car bearing the caskets of
twenty-One victims of the Honda dis
aster.
The coaches formed a funeral traln
which left at 1910 o'clock this morn e
ing. Most of the dead are from
Reading, Pa. Eleven dead at San
Luis Obispo were also taken aboard
the train.
The train was draped in black and
white. The caskets of the dead were
hidden under huge banks Of flowers,
sent TO the Shriners by nearly every
person in Santa Barbara who pos
sessed a flower garden.
Scene a Sad One.
The scene as the train pulled out
of the station was one which brought
tears to the eyes of the several hun
dred local Shriners and citizens gath
cred at the depot.
1t was in such contrast to the hiiar-
ity OF the Shriners who came to Cali
fornia but a few days ago.
Then there were banners waving,
Bands playing and laughter and good
cheer on all sides.
Aboard the funeral train were rela-
uves of the dead in the coach ahead,
and friends and acquaintances with
whom the dead Shriners had but a
few days previously mingled on a
holiday trip.
Nearly every person aboard the
train wore black with crepe upon
their hats or encircling the arm.
Flowers in Wagon Loads.
The people of Santa Barbara sent
hundreds of dollars worth of beauti-
tul flowers to the station and these
were piled high over the caskets, en-
tirely shrouding them from view.
The flowers arrived at the train by
wagon loads. Large quantities OF
blooms were packed and shipped to
the homes Of the deceased Shriners
in the east for use at the burial cere-
monies.

San Bernardino, Cal, May Il
That the interstate commerce COM
mission is to make a thorough inves-

ice. We wish to have all possible
light on this subject; also to know all
the circumstances surrounding the
wreck" says the secretary's message.

BOTH HAVE VIOLATED
LAW OF NEUTRALITY
And the Russian Is the Cause
of the Whole
Trouble.

Mukden, May 1.-THE repeated
promises made by the Japanese gov
ernment for the past three years to
return to China property appropriat-
ed through the exigencies of the re-
cent war are still untitled, and in con-
sequence China is expressing much
indignation at what is considered a
gross breach of faith.
Japan's preteXt is that China failed
to observe the laws of neutrality in
allowing Russia to occupy buildings,
mines and land. This excuse how
ever is not considered an honest one
because Japan is fully aware Of
China's helplessness to enforce neI-
trality with Russia, while Japan, in
regard to the abuse of neutrality, is
considered equally as guilty

citizens. The flames, famed by a
heavy gale, swept an area of 100
acres clean, within two hours and
destroyed the homes of 100 foreign
residents and 1000 natives. The ma
tive refugees are now sheltered in
the schools and other buildings, while
many are camping in open spaces.
The damage is conservatively estimat-
ed at 100000 in gold. No casual
ties are reported.
The officials of the health depart
ment do not agree with the estimate
of the damage given above, which
was made by the police and firemen.
They assert that 269 houses were de-
stroyed and 1,500 natives rendered
homeless. Their estimate of the fl
nancial loss is the same as that of the
other municipal department. 1t is
thought that the figures given by the
health officers are nearer correct.

No More Fire Arms,

In consequence of the enactment
of the Legislature at its last session
of a measure providing for a special
privilege tax of $100 on dealers in
deadly weapons quite a number of
persons and firms in the State who
have been in the habit of handling
these goods as part of their stock in
trade have either relinquished tho
line or are preparing to do so. The
section providing for this is No. 1887.
and is in the privilege tax chapter,
and was brought forward in the ap-
pendix to the volume of laws of 1905,
the language of which reads: "On
each person or firm dealing in pistols,
dirk knives, sword canes, brass or
metallic knuckles, or other deadly
weapons (shotguns and rifles except
ed1 $780," The intent of the law
was the weakening of the market for
these articles by placing what to
many firms would be a prohibitive
tax on them, and to meet which the
dealer would necessarily be compelled
to put up the selling price of such
wares as would render their sale on
q profitable basis almost out of the
question. In several communities in
the State retail hardware dealers are
now selling out their stock of such
goods and will not replenish, and
while this will not rid the State o.
Mississippi of the handy gun in the
hands of handy man altogether, 1t
viii have a beneficent effect. Of
course. there are the mail order
houses who come in competition with
he licensed dealers in the State from
whom attractive looking pistols ton
paper) can be secured by sending a
small sum, comparatively speaking,
but even this is roundabout and en-
compassed with inconveniences. This
provision was shaft aimed at the
negro principally, and it remains to
be seen how the operation of the law
will work out, and which suggests
the hope that it will be effective
eventually.
