FOR SUN YAT SEN First Chinese President Re-: buried in Purple Mountain. Bs Cable to The Star. ! NANKING, June 1.—The sky was| still moonlit as a hushed throng of Kuomintang members, relatives and | friends gathered at 4 a.m, today in the | auditorium of the central party head- quarters to pay a final tribute to Dr,‘ Yat Sen, before the coffin of the | ate revolutionary leader was started ! on the 7';-mile journey to the Purple | Mountain,” where it was placed in a $3,000,000° mausoleum. 1 At the signal at exactly 4 o'clock. the silence was broken by a funeral dirge, and the muffied sound of a first 101-gun salute from Lion Mountain was audible. The cilef mourners, grouped near the bier, included Hu Hanman, president of the legislative council; Mme Sun, widow of the revolutionary leader; H. Hung, minis- ter of commerce and labor; Mrs. Kung, a sister of Mme. Sun; Sun Fo, son of Dr. Sun; Gen. Kiang Kai-Shek and Mrs. Kai-Shek, the latter a sister of ‘Mme. Sun, No foreigners were present in the |§ hall except the foreign correspondents. ( The foreign diplomats were waiting ! outside to take their places in the | funeral procession. Incense was burn- | ing on the altar bofore the flag-draped | $10,000 bron coffin. At the conclu- | sion of the music all bowed three times and a script was read, together with a | faint rumbling dir Robed Pallbearers. [ Twenty-four pallbearers, garbed in | Kuomintang party costum carried | the coffin to a waiting hearse just as dawn broke, the mourners preceding them. | Just inside the Central Party head-| quarters gateway the foreign diplomats | fell into the procession following the hearse. The American delegation in- cluded John V. A. MacMurray, -the American Minister; E. B. Price, Ameri- can _consul at Nanking; Admiral Mark L. Bristol, commander of the Asiatic fleet; Capt. Halsey Powell, naval attache at Peking; Maj. John Magruder, mili- tary attache, and Howard Bucknell, sec- retary at the American legation. Many of the diplomats were in full- dress uniforms, the civilians in full | dress and the Americans in mourning coats. The women among the chief mourners entered the carriages outside the party headquarters, the members of the party following in the line of march behind - the coffin, walking 714 miles over the memorial highway, dedicated for the late Dr. Sun. The American- made hearse rode along the road be- tween the troop units which had_been stationed along the way several hours h‘i““’ daybreak. Troops Moved Friday. ‘The movement of the 'thousands of troops along the line of march began before midnight Friday, insuring a prompt start following the preliminary ceremony at the party headquarters | which lasted only 20 minutes. They presented an impressively colorful rep- resentation, and they slowly wound about the broad Chung Shan Highway through the Yangtse River Valley like a vari-colored caterpillar. The parade included the blue and khaki clad soldiery, the white uniformed sailors, civilian clad boys and girls, stu- dents and government employes, bands of Boy Scouts and girl guides, the pro- cession ending with a cavalry troop of Mongolian ponies. The vanguard began to arrive at the foot of the mountain at 8:30 a.m., the hearse reaching the mausoleum shortly after 9:30. Here the coffin was trans- ferred to an immense catafalque hung with blue silk draperies of the Kuomin- tang. The coffin was borne up mor2 than 300 steps leading to the memorial hall, which is in front of the mau- soleum. Within the hall it was placed updn an immense white granite struc- ture with a blue Chinese tile roof. The interior was finished in black and white granite, with black granite pillars, and a celling patterned after the Kuomin- tang flag, an exquisite blue mosaic. Lowered Into Crypt. Here a 20-minute service similar to that at the Central Party headquarters was held, with relatives, friends, Kuo- mintangs, and diplomats attending. At 10:20 the coffin was removed through the bronze-gated passageway into the reinforced concrete steel-domed inner tomb, where the immediate family held a private service, Minister Doyen of Netherlands representing the foreign diplomats as the coffin was lowered into the crypt, its final resting place. During the Memorial Hall service radio loudspeakers permitted the sol- diers and civilians lining the broad | terraces on the mountain slopes to bow | in unigon with those inside the hall Army planes circled the mountain dur- | ing the service, which ended at 10:45 am. Among those attending the service was Kenneth Cantlie, son of the late Dr. James Cantlie, who saved the life of Dr. Sun when the latter was kid- naped near the Chinese legation ia London in 1896. Sun Fo, son of Dr. Sun, placed a wreath on Dr. Cantlie's grave on a London trip. Kenneth Cantlie journeyed from India here to attend the services todav.
