Sim FElNER HAD
IMPOSING BURIAL
Funeral OF Thomas Asbe Us Dublin
Spectacle; Demonstration Allowed
by British Government.

Dublin. Oct. 1.-The funeral process
sion which followed the body Of
Thomas Ashe. the Sim Fein leader
who died Thursday. from the city hall
to G1asneviu cemetery yesterday was
extremely large, exceeding in numbers
even that Of the FarneU funeral in
1891 The procession was very we'll
organized and perfect order was kept.
The principal contingents were Irish
volunteers, the Gaelic athletic associa-
ton, Gaelic league, the Liberty Hall
citizen army and the Dublin trade I'M
ions. There were also many repre-.
sentatives from women's clubs More
than a dozen bands played patriotic
airs
The government authorities did not
interfere with the demonstration,
which was most impressive
The embittered feeling over the
death Of Ashe was much alIayed By q
change in the policy Of the treatment
Of prisoners under the defense of the
realm act. The prisoners are now al
lowed to associate together and are
separated from the ordinary criminals
*hey are allowed to receive food from
the outside. The hunger strike was
abandoned when the lord mayor car
ried this decision Of the government
to the prisoners.
