CITY GAS PURCHASE
MAY Be BLOCKED
Bank Questions Districts
Right to Call Bonds.

Early acquisition of the Citizens
Gas Co. by the city was placed in
jeopardy today when the Bankers
Trust Co. of New York, primary
trustee for the gas company's 5 per
cent bonds due in 1912, raised doubts
as to the right of the City Utilities
District to call the bonds in adj
vance of maturity. The company
limited that bondholders may be en-
titled to the call premium of 8 per
cent.
The trustee cited its view of the
situation in a letter sent to all
known bondholders of the company
so that owners of the bonds may, if
they desire, take the question of
their rights up with their counsel
before turning in their securities in
accordance with the redemption no
tice sent out by the Utility District.
In the event that litigation fol-
lows and it is decided that the Citi-
zens Gas bondholders are entitled to
the call premium, each $1,000 bond
will be enhanced by $50.

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. Capt.
Elmer William Sundstrom. fighting
the greatest battle of his career

nOunced sea-going antecedentS, he
sailed first at the age OF Is Is an

on a 92-day voyage. He spent three
years in sailing ships. advancing
through the grades to quartermaster.
In 1903 he joined the Morgan line

command, the Topila. In 1921 he
became the master of the Tamia-
hua, then the largest tank ship IN

QUEEN ASTRID IN
COLORFUL RITES
King, Grief Stricken, Walks
Alone at Funeral
for Wife.

BRUSSELS. Sept. Belgium
paid last honors today to Queen
Astrid in the cathedral OF st.
Gudule. the same church in which
she was married nine years ago to
then Duke de Brabant. now King
Leopold III.
The crowd that watched the flu
neral cortege pass through Brussels
was estimated to number n
million.
The ceremony for the most beau
tiful queen in Europe came to its
impressive conclusion with a soft
playing of the Belgian national an
them. the same stirring Braban-
come played so triumphantly when
the Swedish princess, to become
Queen of the Belgians. was mar
ried to the heir to the throne.
Kings. Princes Attend
Today's ceremony lacked lone OF
the panoply which additionally
marks the exit from life of a wom-
an whose cradle was lined with
royal purple. Kings and princes
walked bareheaded in the funeral
train, but the tribute the historian
will record was the sobbing OF the
populace of the Belgian capital.
All night the Bruxellois waited in
a drenchlng rain to hold their places
of vantage along the route. Pa
tiently they lined the streets be-
tween the royal palace and the a
thedral, straining against the barrl-
cades of the gendarmeS.
All traffic was halted, ever street
cars. All business houses we're closed,
as were coffee houses and restau-
rants. At 1915 a. m. there was a
fanfare of trumpets and guns
roared a salute as Astrid's coffin
was carried from the palace and
placed in the same hearse which.
before the war, carried Leopold II
and his queen, Maria Henriette, to
their graves.
King Bowed in Grief
Six black horses drew 1t, preceded
by attachments of mounted gend-
armeS. light artillery and infantry.
The honorary pallbearers marched
directly behind the hearse and in
Guided Premier Paul Van iceland,
the presidents of the Belgian cham
Der and senate and the ministers Of
Justice and home affairs.
King Leopold walked alone. his
face craven deep with grief. The
Belgian monarch was by far the most
tragic figure in the funeral ~cortege.
Despite the injuries received in the
automobile accident in which his
wife was killed, Leopold declined to
ride in a carriage. He held himself
erect throughout the thousand-yard
walk from the royal palace to the
cathedral of st. Gudule, carrying
one arm in a black sling.
