FEARS NO BOMB
Gar HAS LEVEE
Royal Family viii Resume Social Ac-
tivities After Six Years of
Seciusion.

st. Petersburg, Dec. "a levee at
tended by all the fashionable society
of the empire, was given today by the
emperor at the winter palace. This
is the first function of this kind held
since 1904.
For the last six years the Car and
Czarina have held as few big func-
tions as possible, because of the fear
of assassination which has rendered
the existence of the imperial family
miserable. OF late, however, the Czar
has given evidence of healthier and
braver frame of mind and the levee
is looked upon as an indication of the
imperial pair to resume their social
activities.
During the levee the palace was
surrounded with troops, while govern
ment spies fairly swarmed through
the building, on the lookout for nihi-
lists or other suspicious persons who
might have effected an entrance dur
ing the arrival of guests.

cense and burning joss sticks.

All the spirit of the thousand-year-
old Chinese ancestor worship went
into the funeral of Yee Chow, Chris
tian, Toaist, Buddhist, Confucianist-
whatever he may have been was i'm
material. No Chinaman goes to his
grave without funeral rites older than
Western civilization.
Yee Chow was a poor Chinaman
Only the day before he died he had
lost his little savings playing fan tan.
When he was found dead at his laun-
dry, 6SMcDaniel street, a week ago,
it was believed that he had killed
himself An inquest revealed that he
had died of acute indigestion.
So Yee Chow's funeral was simple.
The swirl of exotic music struck from
weird instruments, silk-pantalooned
| women mourners in sedan chairs-all
the elegance and pageantry with
which all good Chinese hope to go to
the home of their ancestors was alb
sent.
Just a simple little burial service
read by Rev. Mr., Ward, the drive tC
Westview cemetery, the burning o.
candles for the five senses, the foot
for the soul in the grave, the pennan'
for his name, and the triple soul o
Yee Chow went to dwell with hii

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 9.-It was
strange commingling of Orient and Oc-

left Harry G. Poole's chapel to bear
Yee Chow, dead Chinese laundryman
to rest among his reverenced ances-
tors.
Inside of the plain hacks, which
gave the funeral all the drab exterior
of a Western service of death, were
Yee Chow's friends and kin, members
of the Yee Sing Tong, powerful
Chinese society, carrying the five can
dies of the five senses. In their laps
were the roast pig, the crisp little
cakes and the scented nuts which
were to feed Yee Chow's fugitive soul

 With the fish travel several experts, who will superintend their transporta- tion oyer the Roosevelt road and their liberation in the lake.

S|MMS' TESTIMONY
 IN CAR REPAIR CASE
Couldn't Use Lumber In Steel Con-
 struction.

Chicago, Oct. 3.-Harold A. Simms, who has been in charge of the inves- tigation into the records of the Illinois Central railroad, was a witness against Frank B. Hartman, Charles l.. Ewing and J. M. Taylor. former H. linois Central officials. before Judge Bruggemeyer today. He took the wit ness stand upon the abrupt conclusion of the testimony of Henry c, Oster- mann, former president of the Oster- mann Manufacturing company. Simms testified that he had made payments of money to the Illinois Central car inspectors while he was superinten- dent of the Memphis Car company. Records were presented by Simms which showed that for the repair of the Illinois Central car No. 104.954, a bill of $S9.56 was rendered. Among the items in this bill were those for 24 feet of pine and no feet of oak lumber.
 "As Car No 104.954 was an all- steel car" said Simms, "such material as pine and oak could not have been used in it's repair"
