PLANS FOR JULIAN
FUNERAL ARELA|D
Official Verdict on Death
Cause Due Thursday.
Woman Improves.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, March 26.-Death OF
c. C. Julian, who made millions in
oil and died in poverty. was coldly
and officially recorded in Shanghai
public mortuary today.
c. E. Vandeveer, an American who
knew Julian in California quarter
OF a century ago, identified the body.
1t was said there would be no Off
cial opinion as to the cause OF death
until formal inquest Thursday.
Physicians who worked over Julian
after he had been found in an Astor
House Hotel room yesterday by the
young woman who was his dinner
companion said that without doubt
Julian took his own life.
However. some of Julian's close
associates here insisted they believed
he killed himself unintentionally.
Vandeveer, who lived in California
when Julian was getting his start in
the oil business. in which he be-
came powerful figure in Okla
homa, now is the local representative
for an American paint company.
Financially Assisted.
Vandeveer said today he had helped
Julian financially since the latter's
arrival in Shanghai q year ago in
default of $25,00O bail in Oklahoma,
where he was charged with fraud
in connection with his financial oper-
ations,
During the California days 1 in
vested in JulianS undertakings and
made money" Vandeveer said. Since
Julian came to Shanghai / returned
the favor"
Julians midnight dinner companion
at the fashionable hotel. Leonora
Levy, his secretary. was believed re-
covering today from the same potion
that physicians said killed Julian.
In a hospital she regained con-
sciousness yesterday afternoon long
enough to tell nurses:
Julian said he would do it. I did
not believe him, but he did it
He was brave man"
Miss Levy found Julian in his hotel
room, dying, when she became alarmed
at his prolonged absence after eXcuS-
ing himself from their table. Miss
Levy accompanied Julian to a hos
pltal and remained outside his room
until he died. Then she returned to
the hotel. There she was found in a
critical condition from the effects OF
the poison which killed Julian.
AS Julian now has been officially
identified, it is possible for friends to
go ahead with funeral plans. The flu
neral is expected to be held Tuesday
or Wednesday.
Canadian Pays for Burial.
1t seemed likely that this man, who
once was multlmilli0naire and who
even to the time OF his death claimed
to own property in California and
Oklahoma worth millions, would 90 to
a charity grave
The undertaken said a group of un-
named Americans had abandoned
their plans to bury Julian upon the
request OF a Canadian. whose name
was withheld. after the latter asked
for the privilege of paying Julian's
funeral expenses.
Until the British court issues the
burial orders Julian's remains i'll lie
within the public mortuary.
The result OF an autopsy performed
late Sunday had not been announced
officially. but doctors revealed an
a powerful poison.

Clark parked commands for Zup in the latteis first three years as the head coach of varsity squad, IS, IA. and '15. and was a star of the champion ship A. E. F. team during the War
 Halas won his duel with Clark, for Hewitt and Karr, the Bear ends, virtually dominated the Bear-LiRon duel.
 Detroit, which takes it's sports more seriously than most cities, was almost as heated up about Potsy Clark's Lions as it was about Mickey Cochrane's Tigers. Wild was the cheering when the LiHsons, which won eight of the nine preceding games, led at half time. 167. And sad were the good people of Henry Ford's burg when two placekicks by the remarkable Jack Manders in the third quar- ter, and a touchdown pass to Hew- itt in the final period, enabled Ch:- cago to cop the plums, 1916.
 It was strangly reminiscent of the Cardinals finish in the world series. It simply wasn't DRetroit's year at the pay window.
