BODY OF EMPEROR -~ [SBACK INTOKIO More Than Million Barehead- ed Mourners Line Route of Sorrow From Hayama. By the Associated Press. TOKIO, December 27.—Silent and bareheaded, more than a million mourners lined the four-mile route from Harajuku station to the imperial palace as the body of the late Em- peror Yoshihito was returned to Toklo tonight from the royal villa at Hayama, where he died Christmas day. From the rallroad station to the palace the streets were sprinkled with white sand as a ceremony of purifi- cation. On either side the way was fringed with soldiers and policemen— 15,000 of them. The cortege was preceded into the capital by the new Emperor, Hirohito, and the new Empress. Sadako Follows Body. ‘The body, escorted by officers of the imperial guard, headed the cortege proper, and Sadako, the Dowager Em- press, followed shortly in a carriage. Then came troops of cavalry, princes and princesses of the imperial famil court ladies, chamberlains, the hous hold minister, the lord steward and more imperial guards—a spectacle as impressive as it was solemn. Emperor Hirohito and his consort arrived during the afternoon and were received into the city by government officials with extremely simple cere- monies. Their coming was unostenta tious and was marked by silence. As the body was borne from the Nearly a quarter of a century ago “Red Emma" spent a year in an American penitentlary on a charge of inciting riots. It was even alleged she influenced the mind of Czolgosz, McKinley’s assassin. Ten years ago in New York she had the distinction of being the first person convicted in America of disseminating information about birth control. A few years later, by preaching resistance to the selective draft, she fell foul of the conspiracy act. After serving another term In jail she was deported as an undesirable alien. On a clear day “Red Emma" can mount to the top of one of Toronto's skyscrapers and far away to the south see the low Lake Ontario shore line of the land of liberty. But that is as close as she may approach it. Her exile, thanks to the law of 1921 for- bidding the re-entry of any person who has ever been deported, is com- plete. Receives Many Friends. Emma has a multitude of friends and relatives under the Stars and Stripes, and if she cannot go to them villa at Hayama, 48 mourning guns sounded fr;ryn & battleship which rode at anchor nearby and other sl of war fired farewell salutes as the spe- clal train proceeded toward Tokio. The route from Hayama to Tokio was lined with not only troops, b also by thousands of his majesty subjects. Rulers Meet Casket. The new rulers met the casket at the palace entrance and conveyed it to Shinden Hall. Prayer marked the end of the day's ceremony. Hundreds of cabled condolences from other sovereigns and from Japanese abroad have heen received. Cablegrams from President and Mrs. Coolidge, addressed to the dowager empress and the new emperor and empress, were among the first to be received. Diplomats called at the household department to again express the sympathies of their nations. The new Emperor and Empress ex- pect to remain at the Akasaka de- tached palace during the entire year of mourning, after which they plan to they carf come to her, and since her arrival in Toronto she has been hold- ing a continuous reception. Among her visitors have been her sister, Mrs. Conant, and nephew, Dr. Conant, of Rochester; her brother, Dr. Goldman, an ex-ray specialist of Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Capes of St. Louis and many others. Another day that “Red Emma" cel- ebrated was December 21, the fourth anniversary of her departurs from Soviet Russia, for if Emma is as outs with capitalistic America she {s equally at outs with Communistic Russia. It was one of the great trag- edies of her life when she found the tyranny of revolutionized Russia, her n?tl]\“e land, to be the greatest tyranny of all, Emma Goldman is proceeding by easy stages across Canada. She plans to visit Winnipeg, Vancouver and any other city that will listen to her mes- sages. At 'present she is staying on indefinitely in Toronto, holding court in a suite of two rooms on the third story of a business block at No. 320 Spadina avenue. Her activities. in Toronto largely shun politics and economics. Her at- mosphere is distinctly a literary one. Ibsen, the Russian drama and other artistic subjects furnish the texts for a course of lectures she is delivering. Good-sized audiences hang on her words while she discourses on Griboy- edev and other obscure figures in Rus- sia’s literary annals. Occasionally she may be found in a second-class cafe surrounded by an admiring group of Russians, Itallans and Germans. On Sundays she speaks to large audiences in Yiddish on Maxim Gorki and al- lied topics. THE WEATHER District of Columbia—Cloudy to- night and tomorrow, followed by rain tomorrow.

Colton con- tinues to toll in the black pits of Wales, while his wife has come to To- ronto to lecture on Ibsen and Griboy- edev. One thing the Colton marriage has done for her. It has given her the privilege of British citizenship. She has no {dea of using her new- found British citizenship to try to effect an entrance to the United States. She regards her exile from that country as permanent and in- evitable. “But my presence in Can. ada,” she poims out, “gives many American friends who have not seen me for vears a chance to visit me.” No question has been raised about interfering with her sojourn fn Can. ada.
