SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1919 be Ca Daitp Ceibune_ POISON STORY OF PRINCE'S DEATH SIGNALS UPRISING AMERICAN MISSIONARIES REPORTED ARRESTED IN KOREA OBITUARY SWELEY Mrs. Jane Trindle Sweley died last Sunday evening at the home of her niece, Mrs. C. E. Littlefield, 1249 E. Third street, where she had made her home for the past three years. She had been in failing health since the death of her husband here two years ago. During the past winter she had been confined to Ker home, but she took to her bed only the day before her death. Mrs. Sweley was born in Westmor- land county, Pennsylvania, October 2, 1854, the second child of James and Margaret Trindle. In her early child- hood her parents moved their family to Wisconsin, and a few years later to Hampton, Iowa. There in April 1877 she was united in marriage to Daniel J. Sweley, who died here in Casper two years ago. From 1888 till their coming to Casper they lived in Kearney, Neb. Having no children of her own she took into her home and heart a seven year old motherless niece, now Mrs. C. E. Littlefield. She was passion- ately fond of flowers and kept them always, about her. A member of the Methodist church from early child- hoaal she was devoted to its work and the christian life. During the ost. thirty years of her life in Kearney she was very active in the church. The funeral service was held from the Gantz Memorial Methodist church Tuesday morning, in charge of the vastor, W- L. French, and the ad- ress was given by her former pastor J.J. lin, who conducted the funer- al of her husband about two years ago. He spoke especially of her earn- est Christian character, loyalty to the church and devotion to its services. He paid a marked tribute to the in- fluence of her presence in the church services and the helpfulness which her earnest piety was to the preacher. The body of the deceased was laid to rest in the Casper cemetery be- side that of her husband. She leaves one brother, John F. Trindle, Kearney; a sister, Mrs. Mary Bechtolt, Monroe, Wis.; and another | sister, Mrs. J. S. Silvius, Eckley, Colo- rado; the latter, with her daughter, Mrs. Arthur Shea, were the only rela- (By United Press.) TOKYO, March 20.—(By Mail.) — Americans just arrived from Seoul have brought copies of a manifesto published there March 1, proclaiming the independence of the former king- dom of Korea. Publication of the manifesto, which expresses great bit- terness against Japan, has been pro- hibited to the newspapers in Tokyo by the home office authorities. This proclamation urged Japan to grant independence to Korea for Japan’s sake as well as for that of Korea and as a step to make certain the peace of the Orient. Such a move on the part of Japan, says the manifesto, would forever remove the smoulder- ing doubts of the 400,000,000 people in China and would show Japan forth as the true “Protector of the East.” The uprisings, in connection with which the first manifesto was pub- lished in the former Korean ital, have spread to all parts of the peninsula, and the latest reports are that they are still growing worse and there is little hope for an early re- storation of order. The disturbances started in conec- tion with the preliminary ceremonies of the funeral of the Grand Prince Yi, former Emperor of Korea, who died January 21. Though little rever- ence was shown the Grand Prince while he lived, after his death a rumor spread over the country which made him at once a national hero. According to the story, the aged Prince did not die of apoplexy but of Y n which he took in order that his death might forestall the wedding of his son to one of the Imperial Princesses of Japan, for it is a cus- tom among the Koreans that a son may not marry for three years after his father’s death. The Grand Prince's death occurred just four days before the imperial wedding was to take place in Tokyo, where the bridegroom- to-be had already arrived with his suite. Though the riots in Seoul and elsewhere have been minimized by the Minister of Communications, Mr. Noda, who went to Korea to repre- sent the Japanese government at the royal funeral, they have been serious enough to lead to several deaths at various places and to numerous ar- rests. According to some of the Tokyo papers, several American mis- sionaries have been arreeveuend are under secret examination, being suS-|tives from b pected of having instigated the} present at Ay peek town able) to) be Korean uprisings. Japanese officials say tat te Korean riots were starte yy the * gia F Chun-do Kyu cult (teachings of ts tT ToT 15 La Heavenly ways), whose adherents, NTEN they say, have long been trying to Q obtain independence - from Japan. Followers of this cult are variously reported to number from 1,000,000 to 3,00000 Koreans. 3 The manifesto published in Seopl called upon the people to refrain from all violence, and a sort of passive resistance to Japanese authority hes marked all the demonstrations. Korean youths and girls a! gatas to attend the schools, and amon: ie arrests have been several students of the Government Higher. Girls’ scheol. The Koreans are entirely. without arms, and Americaa-witnesses of the Seoul demonstrations say thai the crowds were not dangeraus @x- cept when goaded to violetice. The Koreans say, according to re- ports, that the manifesto of March’ 1, will be followed. by others. .Thirty- three prominent men of Seoul signed the proclamation, including membets of the Chun-do Kyu, Buddhigts, Con- fucianists, Protestants ‘and Roman Catholics. All of these who could Re} found were at once arrested along with other Korean leaders, ¥ An American business man who has just, returned to Tokyo from Seoul gave the following description of the imperial funeral: “The funeral of the late Grand Prince was a memorable sight, but the most impressive thing about it was the great crowds of Koreans who thronged the city. We were told that there were at least 100,000 Korean farmers in the city for the day, all of whom had walked in, some from great distances. “I went, over the road between Seoul and Kimkokri, where the Grand Prince was buried, the day before the Koreans passed over it, and I saw 50,000 Koreans all dressed in white, from children of four years to old men of 70, rebuilding the road along its entire length of 30 miles. All these worked as volunteers, to show their last respect for their former Emperor. It was a great tribute to his memory.
