THRONGS OF CHINESE

Almost buried In q bank OF flowers.
the body OF Ko Low, murdered Hip
Sing Tong leader lay in state yester-
day at the tong headquarters, IS Doyers
street. All through the afternoon and
long into the night mixed stream of
human beings representing almost
every type of New Yorks polyglot
populace sifted into the little black and
white draped poolroom at the corner Of
Pell and Doyers streets. reeking with a
strange intermingling of exotic flowery
perfumes. to view the remains of the
dead tong leader dressed for the burial
in the conventional black and white of
Occidental funeral garb. To-day be-
ginning at l o'clock Chinatown will
witness the most elaborate funeral in
its long and colorful history.
Oddly enough, throughout the after
noon the number of Chinese who made
a pilgrimage to the bier was equaled
If not exceeded by the representatives
of other races. Later in the evening
the number of Orientals increased unit!
far into the night the Occidentals had
disappeared almost entirely and China
town, with the exception of ever watch
full policemen, resounded only to the
shuffling. soft footed tread of its own
denizens. The vigil was kept until
dawn.
At 6 o'clock last night the funeral
room was almost filled to overfiowing
with flowers sent by individuals as we'll
as by Chinese organizations and still
the wreaths were coming. One of the
handsomest pieces of all, huge heart
shaped wreath, was that sent by the
local branch of the On Leong Tong, the
only real rival of the powerful Hip
Sings in New York city. There were
also many pieces representing the Hip
Sing organizations all over the country,
including the branches in San Francisco,
Seattle and Chicago Other elaborate
pieces bore cards of sympathy from
Chinese commercial organizations as
well as private individuals. both Chinese
and American, who were friends or 40

Despite the fact that Ko Low was
not Of the Christian faith and that many
Of his friends had clung to the faith of
their ancestors the Christian emblem Of
faith predominated among the floral
pieces. A slight touch of the Orient
appeared. now and then in pieces en-
blematic of the Celestial skies, the stars,
the moon and the sun.
Over the doorway of the funeral room
hangs a large framed photograph OF

Nine organizations of writer's. paint

der committee headed by George
Creel to give battle to censorship, actual
and threatening.
This was announced yesterday by Mr..
Creel from the headquarters of the
Authors League of America. % East
Seventeenth street. The committee pur-
poses fighting the policing of American
literature and kindred things by John
S. Sumner, the New York Society for
the Suppression of Vice and all such
persons and bodies.
The personnel of the committee. which
is to be known as the Joint Committee

organization up to that point at which
defense necessitates attack. Mr.. Creel' $
statement follows:
"The purpose of the committee is to

1T Is this orderly process that CEN

No Fixed Moral Standards.
Putting aside every legal aspect OF
the matter there are still other phases
as odious. When it comes to the thing
called morale, for instance, there are no
fixed standards and exact definitions.
for the change in these standards and
definitions is as inevitable as continu-
