Funeral Most Ostentatious Ever Witnessed in This City. The funeral of Chew Qui Yet, president of the Kwong Chow Soclety, held yester- day afternoon, was the mest elaborate Chinese funeral ever held in this city. Above the din of the Chinese orchestra anA the bursting of bombs was heard the wailing of wrore than a hundred mourn- ers. Great.preparations were made for the funeral, which took place from the Kwong Chow Asylum at 512 Pine street. Raised upon a pedestal in the center of the court of the building rested the casket, in which reposed the body of the deceased. Kneeling about the casket robed In white, the paid mourners sent up a mournful wail, while the high priests chanted sacred hymns. Chinese punk and candles of all de- seriptions smwoked and blazed about a large platform, upon which were piled roast pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, rice iread, cakes, nuts and eatables of ali Kiuds and descriptions. Amid the tumult all the personal effects of the deceased, including books and mary papers, were carrled into the court and after all was made into a large pile the torch was appli=d. Not until every rzrticle of the blazing pile had been con- fumed by the fire was a start made for the cemetery A procession of hacks wound in and out the narrow streets of Chinatown, while | crowds of Chinamen lined the sidewalks. rowerful | Chow Soclety for two years.

Commissioner Sullivan, perceiv | ing danger of hasty action on the part of McDonald, implored his fellow Commis sioner not to act impulsively. The trouble, it seems, was precipitated | by Mrs. Hickox in engaging without knowledge of the commission an army band to play at the children's playgrou It was asserted that she paid the musi- cians from money secured at the grounds | without presenting demand for allow- ance by the Commissioner: Mayor Schmitz, as president of the Mu- sic Unign, -sent to the commission several days since a protest against the employment of musicians who were fed and clothed by the Government. 4+RMY BAND ENGAGEMENT. When this communication was read Commissioner McDonald arose and pre- sented a statement of the case. He ex- pressed himself as being in accord with the Mayor's suggestion that only union | mu fans should be employed. He was not aware that the lady in charge had engaged a military band, and. intimated that the mistake would not be repeated. He understood, however, that the musi- cians from the Presidio were paid union wages. Mrs. Hickox engaged twelve mu- ans and the profits the day of that 1t amounted to $150. | 5 dent of the Mu- sicians’ U it was the cu tom of park employes to make contrac sident Spreckels replied that it was not the custom. Mr. McDonald said small am and don it was customary, having been paid for goat keepers. Commissioner Lloyd Insisted that if payments of that kind had been made the money was pald contrary to the char- ter and without the knowledge of the commission. Mayor Schmitz contended that the em- ployment of army musiclans was not in the nature of an emergency engagement. He remarked further that there were many complaints touching the manage- ment of the childen’s playground, and ad- vised that the Commissioners make a change in that quarter. Commissioner Sullivan advised against haste in that direction. He sald: “We cannot give this concession to a saloon- keeper or a woman with a history.” He maintained that the management was first class and highly respectable. Commissioner McDonald said: “If there are any charges against this woman, let them be presented.” Commissioner Sullivan—Let us not per- secute this woman. Mayor Schmitz—Oh, nonsense, Mr. Sul- livan. There is no persecution. This lady is not above the regulations of the Park Commission. Many things in the man- agement of the children's playground have been overlooked. I would recom- mend that the board make a change. A suggestion from the Mayor that Su- perintendent McLaren be placed in charge of the quarters elicited from Mr. Mec- DongJd the reply: “This is a hard shot at the commission.” TO DECLARE VACANCY. Commissioner Altman made this mo- tion: ““I move that the place occupled by | Mrs. Hickox be declared vacant.” Commissioner McDonald said: what you want.”” An inference was given that Altman had some programme in view. President Spreckels assured Commis- sioner McDonald that no one had been picked out to succeed Mrs. Hickox. The question under discussign related to proper control of the park by the Com- missioners. Speaking for himself, he said that he had always been ignored in af- fairs connected with the management of the children’s playground. Commissioner McDonald insisted that the president had not been ignored. Commissioner Sullivan brought the question to issue by remarks in this fash- iol “Give this woman, a lady of char- acter, a chance to live. Do not be too harsh. The motion is not seconded. There is no one unmanly enough to second it.” This allusion to lack of manliness fired the wrath of Lloyd and he promptly sec- onded the motion to declare vacant the place occupied by Mrs. Hickox. Commissioner McDonald insisted that the board was perpetrating a wrong and an offense. He disclaimed desire on his own part to have anything further to do with the management of the grounds. The roll was called. Spreckels, Lloyd and Altman voter aye. Sullivan and Mec- Donald voted no. The affirmative deci- sion did not put an end to the wrangle, Sulllvan wanted it distinctly promulgated that no money should L2 paild except in accordance with the provisions of the charter. McDonald moved that timekeepers be ‘I know | ADVERTISEMENTS.

This suggestion led to further acrimo- nious discussion. Lloyd maintained that the foremen of the various gangs kept the time, and that the employment of timekeepers would be a reflection on the | } honesty of the foremen. “The men who | are employed as foremen,” said Mr. | Lloyd, “may be poor, but it does not follow, as Mr. McDonald intimates, that they are dishonest.” Mr. McDonald declared that he made no reflection on the honesty of the fore- men. The motion to appoint timekeepers was lost. . | "In asking to be excused from further participation Mr. McDonald sald some- thing of the politics which had been done. President Spreckels said that politics had nothing whatever to do with the dis- cussion. He advised Commissioner Me- Donald to go slow and not make such allusions to his fellow Commissioners. Mayor Schmitz, addressing Mr. McDon- ald, said: “l am sorry to sce one Commissioner branding another and casting aspersions on his associates. | should prevail. I suggest to Mr. McDon- | ald that if service on this commission is not agreeable to him ‘that he send in his resignation, and I assure him that it ‘will be accepted.” At this stage of the wrangle Commis- | sioner Sullivan displayed remarkable ac- tivity in imploring his associate, Mr, Me- Donald, to keep cool and avoid impulsive action. The danger of McDonald accept- ing the Mayor's advice seemed imminent. Mr. McDonald disclaimed any intention of criticizing the Mayor. Mr. Lloyd moved that the secretary take charge of the children’'s grounds on the first of next month. The motion pre- | valled. Mr. Altman moved that the gore of City Hall avenue and McAllister street be designated as the site for the monu- | ment t6 commemorate the deeds of Cali- | fornia volunteers in can war. After discussion Mr. Altman was advised to further consult former Mayor Phelan, M. H. de Young and W. J. Martin, trustees of the monument fund. The board then adjourned. LABOR DISCUSSION ENDS IN A SMALL-SIZED RIOT Speakers and Audience Disagree and a Rough-and-Tumble Fight Follows. BEAUMONT, Tex., March 13.—During a discussion arising in a public meet'ng upon the merits and demerits of labor unions ahd boycotts James Keith, a prom- inent merchant and member of one of the wealthiest families in Southern Texas, and C: S. Hambright, president of the local Trades Assembly, got into a rough- and-tumble fight. Editor Crogh of a local labor paper.be- came involved, and Keith's friends took a hand. When the police arrived one-fourth of the people in the hall were involved as fighters or peacemakers. The meeting was called by merchants for the purpose of taking stcps to counteract boycotts insti- tuted by labor unions. A spirit of harmony | the Spanish-Ameri- | CLIENTS SUFFER BY HIS NEGLECT CHICAGO, March 13.—“Mr. Cullen’s af- fairs are in a badly tangled condition. I | do not believe he was systematically steal- ing from the clients for whom he acted as trustee or that he was deliberately de frauding any one. But the condition of his papers shows he was careless—per- | haps criminally careless. Tue people who trusted him, his friends, relatives and clients, will be sufferers from his neglect.” This statemeént was given out this aftar- noon by 8. Rogers Touhy, brothersin-law of Edward W. Cullen, the prominent Chi- cago lawyer, who mysteriously disap- peared from his home in Rogers Park three weeks ago. Touhy has taken charge of Cullen's affairs and is endeavoring to bring some order out of the chaotic con- dition in which they were left. “We have had no word from Culien since the telegram which his wife “e- celved the Sunday after he left Chicago and which sald that he was in Denver.” Touhy added. “I am in hopes that the wide publicity being given to his strange disappearance will bring us some word from him.” Cullen’s disappearance at this time is strange in that he recently inherited from hia cousin, Edward Cullen of California, an estate valued at $500,000. There was some litigation over the will and the mat- ter is not yet entirely cleared up, but Cullen's rights as an heir had neyer b2en MIETING SUFFER )| TORTURE TUCSON, Ariz., March 13.—Advices from Hermosillo, Mexico, to-night state that one more body has been found near the point of the hold-up and massacre of pas- sengers of the stage running between Torreon and Potam. The body found is that of a woman. It had been terribly mutilated and afterward dragged a dis tance of fifty yards Into the bushes. A plece of rope was found around the neck d of the body showing that the woman been choked to death. Filberto Alvarado, one of the victim was a wealthy rancher and was on I way home with his bride of two ment The other two victims were women, Se- nora D. H. Gonzales, wife of a well-to-do rancher and miner, and Senorita Julia Berdo, a young lady of Torreon. The body of Alvarado was terribly mutilated. It appears he was the special object of the bandits’ cruelty. It has been definitely ascertained that the bandits were Yaqui Indians, number- ing fifteen to twenty. They were evident- ly well armed the bodies of the vie- tims were riddled with bullets. Two com- panies of soldiers, besides the brother of Alvarado, are on the trail. @ il @ succes: ¢ disputed.
