FUNERAL COSTS
HUGE FORTUNE
10000 Attend Ceremony at
RGngOOn, India.

RANGOON, India, Jan. 17.-Fully 20,
900 people witnessed one of the most re-
markabe funeral ceremonies Rangoon
has ever seen.
A procession two miles long, bands and
chanting of native hymns were some OF
the features.
The dead man was Chan Nah Phee,
and he was buried in the Chinese ceme-
terry al Tamwe, IN a plot of earth that
was given by the whole of the Chinese
community. this in Itself being proof of
the respect in which he was held by
every clan, for among them there is
supposed to be continual warfare.
This was due to the fact that Chan
Nah Phee, the head Of a great firm, had
spent much of hts lifetime and a great
deal of his wealth In the protection of
the poor
Not only was every society in Ran
COON represented at the funeral, but there
were representatives OF all branches in
the province, and the thousands of
mourners represented women as we'll as
men Of every nationality.
At the cemetery every visitor, rich or
poor, was presented with a fan, large
towel, soap. cigars. matches and light
refreshments
The procession was so long that it
was necessary TO leave out all the coolies
carrying tables Of food, as is customary
en- these occasions. More than 1000
coolies were engaged for the procession
alone.
There we're many bands composed of
Europeans, Chinese and natives. The
proceedings at the cemetery lasted three
hours.
The expenses connected with the fu-
neral were enormous. For a week the
widow and relatives had to keep open
house, and this had to be continued after
the funeral, according to the figures
worked out by the priests from the horo-
scope Of the deceased.

Saturdays market was fairly active.
the tendency was toward . reduced
volume.
There were several periods when the
demand was good. but in one respect Sat
urday's action was similar to Friday 5,
with distinct tendency toward dizziness.
When we turn our attention the merit
OF the situation and prospects for ulti-
mate improved changes we must take
into consideration the present state OF
trade and particularly it's tendency and
on this point we see no reason to change
the opinion which we nave expressed
during the last few weeks that we are
on the road 10 recovery.
1t is true that within the next sixty
days numerous cooperate statements will
be published and these will necessarily
show unsatisfactory conditions.
But these statements must be consid-
cred In the light of what has already
happened in the stock market and par
ticularly the extent OF last years decline
which certainly went far to discount this
factor
For immediate future we anticipate
irregularity such as we have had during
the last couple Of days with q likelihood
Of fair recessions and the declines when
the same should be met with buying
orders.

Says Grain Exchange
of Much Value

WASHINGTON. Jan. 17.-Grain ex-
changes render a national service through
dealing in futures" and proposed legis-
lation 10 regulate the grain exchanges

New York former director Of the United
State Grain Corporation decla- ed today
before the House Agriculture Committee
Appointment Of a national marketing
commission to recommend improvements
IN the existing commodity marketing ma
chinery. was advocated by Barnes.
Barnes contended that the losses by
price declines have fallen more heavily
on the miller and dealer than on the
farmer. the market structure having aided
the farmer who exercised good Judgment
and sold early.
The farmers who held for higher prices
on a declining market were the greatest
losers.

FRENCH ADOPT
RAIL METHODS
A. E. F. Dispatching System
Proves Success.

PARIS, Jan. 1.-THE American rail-
way train dispatching system has broken
through the stone wall of French con-
servatism and is now being gradually in
stalled on all the leading railway systems
of the country. Studied By French rail-
way experts on the various lines of the
old A. T. F., It's efficiency and simplicity
had its appeal until today these French
railroad men consider It the best oper-
ating system in the world. It's adoption
has received the APPROVAL OF ". lie TrOc-
quer, French Minister of Public Works.
The system is now in Oeration on the
Fiat Railroad between the MOntparnasse
Station, Just a few blocks from the head
quarters OF the American Red Cross. and
Chartres.
"The American system" explained N.
Pie, the train dispatcher, or, as he ID
known here, "Monsieur le Regulateur."
was installed in June on the Paris
Charities division as the result Of studies
made of IL during the war at the various
American railroad centers In France. Our
system was most complex and now We
have been instructed by the Minister of
Public Works to apply the American
method to the entire system. Daily re-
ports received during the past three
hAOutuh LeSlIIE ing TO the eILlClSlicg OF Luls

to install it on the Paris-Mantes division,
the CAartres-Le Mans section and others.

vantages Schedules are more easily adj
hered to In the case of passenger trains,
the prompt handling of freight is assured.
while instructions given by telephone
insure greater accuracy and consequent
safety to passengers than those sent by
telegraph"
Commenting on the American system,
the Minister Of Public Works has said.
ut is excellent because 1t is simple. It
is interesting from both a technical and
practical point Of view The results OBJ
tanned have led me to order its installa-

Boston Housing Need
More Acute Than Ever

BOSTON, Jan. 17.-There is a shortage
Of 3.21S houses in Boston, leaving SC. $50
of the city's increased 1920 population ap-
parently unprovided for, the mayors rent
and housing committee stated in a report
of its nine months activities.
The doubling up" to take care of these
people for whom there are no houses has
created serious congestion. and there is
apparently no remedy in sight, the COM
mittee finds.
With the population Of Boston increas-
ing at the rate of 1900 persons per year,
the situation is bound to be worse in
stead Of better, unless building is re-
sumed on a large scale, according to tho
report.

Wheat-A poor demand. together with
evidence OF increased offerings from the
country, underly the present wheat
situation There has been fair amount
= Of export business with Germany and
/ Switzerland, but 1t is said to have been
done at considerable reduction in pre-
miums. II reduced prices prove to be
a fact 1t is significant as confirming the
surface evidence of 4 loosening UP by
the producing section. Liquidation by
the country is additionally confirmed by
the appearance in this market of an In
crease of money from country banks.
The question Of the amount of old wheat
carried over by the food administration
has been revived and there Is an Idea
that there was fairly liberal holdings

amount available. We are not able to
uncover anything tangible on this sub
Ject. We submit it TO you simply as a
matter of current talk. The future
course Of values depends upon the free
dom Of movement from the southwest AS
ropean demand from North to South
America. Evidence on these points at
the moment indicates lower prices
Corn-The heavy hedging load already
resting upon the corn market, was
further increased Saturday. Those hedg
ing sales are, of course, against actual
shipments from the country and pur
chases for deferred shipment. In view N
very poor domestic NtlAdhQ iuoNt hdith

Oats-There was considerable llqutda

further selling by some OF the larger

From The Tribuns's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, July 16-Brigadier
General Sawyer's propaganda in favor
Of horseback riding as excellent exer-
else for the President scored to-day
when it was announced at the White
House that the President plans to
mount horse upon the receipt of rid
ing equipment. The Presidents per
sonal physician has dilated to such an
extent on the joys of mad gallops
about the speedway and canters
through the leafy glades of Rock Greek
Park that he has convinced the Presi-
dent there may be something in it
after all.
DR.. Sawyer took up riding after a
lapse of thirty-five years, and when
the President throws his leg over the
saddle it will mark lapse of thirty
years.
Riding boots, habit and crop have
been ordered and the Executive is ex-
pected to fare forth for his first effort
some day next week.
When the President takes his first
ride he will be accompanied by Brig
adler General Sawyer and Lieutenant
Mathison, the Presidents military
orderly. Incidentally, Lieutenant
Mathison is particularly pleased at the
news that the President is to ride a
horse. The officers duties embrace at,
tendance upon the Executive only when
he is mounted and since March 4 Lieu
tenant Mathison has not served ac-
lively in his official capacity.
