FUNERAL SERVICES

Ceremonies Which Were Held To-
day We're Inspiring in Their
Very Simplicity
By Associated Press

Washington, Feb. 17.-Funeral
Services for Senator Bacon, of Georgia,
were held to-day in the Senate Cham
ber. There were no speeches of
eulogy, no music and no flowers ex-
cept one design-the tribute of the
Senate itself-which rested on the cof-
fin. The ceremonies were inspiring
in their very simplicity and the place
in which they were held, with the
dignity of those assembled to do
honor to the dead, lent added i'm

Two hours before the body was
taken with tender reverence into the
Senate chamber, it lay in the adjoin-

men perished when the italian bark
Castagna struck on the outer bar Of
Cape Cod, mile and a half south of
the Cahoons hollow life saving sta
ton to-day.
Seven seamen, all nearly uncon-
scious from exposure, were brought
ashore by the life savers. The frozen
corpses OF Captain Garva and three
sailors were left in the rigging, where
the men had lashed themselves dur
ing the hours of darkness to avoid
being carried overheard by the seas
that swept the decks.
The Castagna, from Montevideo for
Boston, with phosphate rock, struck
the bar early to-day, during binding
snowstorm and sixty miles northwest
gale. The beach patrol sighted her
at dawn, 500 yards off shore, with the
surf breaking over her and threaten
ing to pound her to pieces.
Gale Had Moderated
The combined life saving crews
from the Nauset and Cahoons Hollow
stations set up their beach gun and
shot three lines across the Castagna's g
deck but the sailors were so be-
numbed by the cold that they were
unable TO handle the breeches buoy
tackle. The gale had moderated to
80 miles an hour but the surf was
so high that the life savers had to
wait for some time before they could
launch their 1ifeboat and pull out to
the wreck against wind, sea and biting
cold.
The survivors were carried to the
Marconi wireless station, where med
ical attention was given them. All

THE REAL PATRIOT

the mouth Of poor wretch upon the rack"
! will merely indicate that the ultimatum did
not charge the Servan people, but its govern
ment, with furnishing the bomb, and proceed to
the kernel of Professor Harris paragraph. Who
ever wrote the Austrian ultmatum was not led
into error by blind rage and fury, but wrote with
knowledge Of facts that Professor Hart could
easily have ascertained. They are very simple.
During the Balkan war Servia sent into Bos-
MIA hundreds of bombs to be used in case of a
clash with ustro-Hungary, for the blowing up
of bridges and railways and for general Serb
terrorism in Austro-H hungarian territory This
was proved when number OF these bombs fell
into the hands of the Austrian government. They
came from the royal Servian arsenal at Kragu-
jevac. No doubt was possible, as they were in
their original packing, with the stamp Of the
Sery;an War Department still upon it. Still
more, a few years ago a Servian attempt upon
the life of the King Of Montenegro frustrated
just in time The bomb found upon the would-be
Seryisn assassin proved TO have been pro-
vidcd by the royal Servian arsenal. The affair
WIS hushed up for the sake Of harmony" Its
explanation is found in the Montenegrin- Servian
agreement to the effect that in the death of King
Nicholas the two kingdoms are to be united under
one head The pan-Serbs merely sought to hasten
the event.
The confession of Servian student, arrested
after the death Of Franz Ferdinand and his
wife, is only a minor link in the evidence that
the murder was plotted in Belgrade by the Ser
vim Major Milan Prbichevitch the head OF the
Servian secret intelligence bureau and secretary
Of one of the two pan-Servian societies, "Narod-
ma Obrana" The evidence also conyineingy i'm

plicates an even higher Servisn officer Corps
Commander Jarkovitch who IS the president Of
this society. which is supported by subventons
from the Seryian and Russian governments, as
well as by private subscription. The large
sources of the society-Russia is very liberal
are openly spent for the promotion of Serb con-
spiraces in Austra-Hungary and for supplies Of
firearms and bombs for the conspirators.
The confession of still another Serb student at
Sarajevo has brought to light the fact that he
had agreed to blow up Hungarian barracks, but
that at the last moment his conscience baked at
murder 1t is very convenient to dispose of all
this evidence as part of an Austrian plant" or
to ignore it entirely, but the fact remains that
the Dual Monarchy has incontroyertibe proofs Of
the criminal activities of the society in its terri
tories and Of the completely of the Servian
government in he double crime at Sarajevo.
No wonder that it insisted upon being repre-
scented at the trials of the consprators. Il had
the scandalous lenieney toward the murderers Of
Alexander and Draga in mind. Behind it all is
seen the figure of Pasitch, the Prime Minister Of
Servia and the tool Of Russia. II Servia is TO
be the Sardinia Of a Serb risorgimento, a third
writer has suggested il badly needs a Cavour;
the best it has been able 70 produce thus far is
this Pasiteh, the puppet of Pan-Slavism For
years the Dual Monarchy has made only de-
fcnsve fight against this propaganda, but bombs
and assassinations were too much for even the
patience it has shown
The argument most often advanced to prove
Servia's innocence of all part in the double muir
der is that the heir apparent was a friend Of the
Slays. Once more | quote from Professor Harris

the Servian government encouraged the assss-
sination of Franz Ferdinand. He seems TO have
been one of tho few people in the Austrian Empire
to recognize that over two-ffths of the Aus
trians are Slavs, and must be made content, or
the empire will break up. The taking off Of
Franz Ferdinand was a distinct blow to Slay
power and influence. Had he lived there can be
little doubt that he would have thrown all his
power and influence against the attempt to push
Seria back into its position of weakness and
backwardness."
