GREAT JHRONGS
AT FUNERAL OF
EXECUTED MEN

MEXICO CITY, Thursday, Nov. "a
(49 Delayed )--Miguel Augustin Pro-
juarez, Catholic priest, who fell before
the bullets of an execution squad
on Wednesday, was buried with his
three executed companions today as
q martyr"
The men, who were executed on
charges of being responsible for the
attempt to assassinate former Presi-
dent Obregon November 13, were car
ried through great crowds that lined
the route of the cortege, weeping and
at times crying viva the martyrs"
Then they were lowered into sep
arate graves without ceremony or
rites, except for the praying and
chanting of thousands that lasted
until night came and tne cemetery
gates were closed
Probably the greatest crowds that
ever gathered for the funerals of
private persons in Mexico saw the
bodies of the four men carried to
their last resting places. At least
10000 persons must have gathered
along the line of march and at the
cemetery.
Every class of society was repre-
sented in the great crowd that gath
cred at the funeral-from wealthy
and fashionably dressed persons who
came in fine automobiles, to entire
families of barefoot Indians who had
walked miles from the country or
from distant parts of the city.
Everyone carried floral offerings of
some kind, even if only wild flowers
plucked along the roadside, and
rained these flowers upon the caskets
as they passed, while they prayed
and chanted for the dead martyrs"
and for Christ the King.
More than half and perhaps two
thirds of the crowd were women,
most of them wearing lack dresses
and all with their heads covered with
a black shawl or veil. The majority
of them were weeping openly and
many of them touched the caskets
with their flowers so that they might
treasure them in memory of the
executed men.
Several thousand had gathered at
the residence of the aged father of
the executed. priest when the coffinS
containing the body of the priest
and his brother, Hunlberto, executed
with him, we're carried cut. In addi-
ton, large crowds had passed in and
out of the residence all day long
in steady procession. At the same
time large crowds gathered at the
home of Louis Segllra Vilchis, who
also had cen executed Juan Tirado
the fourth man, with no relatives and
no friends appearing, was buried by
charity in the pauper section of the
Panteonde Dolores, the same cemetery
in which the Projuarez brothers were
inferred.
1t required more than three hours
for the cortege of the priest and
his brother to pass from the home
of their. father to their grave. All
along that distance of about five
miles was awaiting a crowd that

Captain Frederick A. Giles, British

Golden Gate-New Zealand flight, to-
day left for San Simeon, CAL, by
automobile to repair his biplane dam
aged in the flight. He expects to
fly back here and prepare for new
Honolulu flight attempt.
Giles was cheered today by a tele-
gram from his backer, w. H. Rose
warne, of Detroit, expressing conf
dence in the fliers ability, and by
action taken at meeting of the
airport committee of the board of
supervisors to voice similar senti-
mentS. Giles will be asked also to
appear before the board of super
visors next Monday to receive their
vote of confidence.
Giles story of running into an "air
pocket" some hundreds of miles off
the California coast, had been dis
counted by weather bureau officials,
who insisted that there had been
no such weather conditions as news
dispatches said Giles described.
Giles today received the following
from Rosewarne: Message of CEN

yourself to clear up publicity mess.

RUMAMANS SEE
BODY OF their
DEAD PREMIER

BUCHAREST, Rumania, Nov 25 up
Amid every sign of national grief
and mourning the body of Premier
Ion Bratianu was removed today to
the Antenaeurn palace, where it will
lie in state until his funeral Sunday.
Despite wintry weather, the public
flocked reverently to view the remains
of the dead patriot, for he is recog-
niZe das a great patriot, even by news
papers that opposed his general policy
The press Oeoc all shades of opinion
have voiced their profound grief over
the death yesterday of the man who
had dominated Rumanian politics for
SO long.
Tranquility continues everywhere, a
sort of political truce being tacitly OBJ
served until after the funeral This
means only that no active steps are
being taken to reorganize the govern
ment, but this does not prevent many
informal talks and conferences by the
various party leaders and organizations
on the subject of the future govern
ment, which seems to be shaping in
the direction of coalition
The dead premier's younger brother,
Vintila Bratianu, meanwhile is carry
ing on the necessary duties of admin
istration and at cabinet council to-
day, called to arrange details of the
funeral, he described negotiations that
had been opened with leaders of op-
position parties for the formation of
such coalition. When he left the
council M. Bratianu appeared optimis-
tic. He told press representatives that
negotiations for national cabinet
were progressing favorably.
Dr. Julio Maniu, leader of the op-
posing national peasants paryt, has
demanded dissolution of the parlia-
ment and new elections which he be-
lieves will terminate the domination
of the incumbent liberal party. 1t is
believed, however, that DR.. Maniu
would be willing to allow the govern
ment under Vintila Bratianu to act
until January, so that it may dispose
of the budget and other urgent busi-
ness.
Foreign Minister Nicholas Titulescu,
whose serious illness has contributed
to the political confusion is greatly
improved, but his doctors advise him
to remain indoors for several days
There had been some doubt as to
whether ne could carry out plans to
attend the forthcoming conference OF
the league of nations preparatory dis
armament commission, but now he
is talking again Of goin.
