on Second Burglary Charge.

in the robbery of the Luberger home.
For this Harris gets a life sentence. In
the Smith case it was not proved that
he carried a gun, but in the Luberge,'

established and that makes the life
sentence possible. Harris has certain
ly come unto his own at last There
has been no doubt to the guilt of the
man. 1t was his hand. that held the
gun that wounded Mayor Carmody.
The punishment that has now over
taken him is his due Men can not

etery as a result of his acts.

THE LEOPOLD oBsEQuIEs
Belgium Kings Funeral Was Imposing
and National Pageant Cathedral
Scene Particularly Impressive-Body
in Royal Vault.

Brussels, Dec. 22.-The funeral of
the late King Leopold was conducted
today with impressive ceremonies. An
imposing military cortege passed thru
the streets, which were packed by
crowds of people from all parts of the
kingdom.
A more impressive aspect, however,
was the scene at the cathedral of st.
Michael and st. Gudule. All that the
hand Of man could fashion to en-
phasize the regal rites has been done,
yet strangely enough the work of the
artist served to conceal rather than
make more pronounced the simple but
noble lines of the kingly edifice.
After the funeral rites in the church
the body was escorted to Laeken, where
it was placed in the royal vault in the
church of ST. Mary.
