GENERAL COUNT NODZU DIES
AND IS BURIED WITH
MILITARY HONORS
GREATEST IN LAND ATTEND
All Grades of Society Represented
From. Royalty to Coolie Including
The Diplomatic Corps Has Splen
did Record in the Japanese Army.
TOKIO, Oct, 23.-The funeral of
General Count Mitchnura Nodzu,
who died last Saturday, was held to
day most impressive scenes marking
the last rites which conducted un
der the Shinto religious belief. Full
military services were carried out on
Aoyama parade grounds. The mili
tary escort which followed the body
to the grave consisted of four battali
ons and a guard of honor which
marched beside the coffin, reposing
on a flag draped gun carriage, was
headed by Admiral Togo, fleet ad
miral of Japan, Marquis Ito and
twelve other admirals and generals.
The procession was fully two miles
in length, testifying to the great re
spect in which the dead soldier was
held by his countrymen. Admiral
Sperry commander of the American
fleet, personally attended the funeral
and followed the coffin, accompanied
by his staff. Three of the favorite
horses of the dead general walked
behind the body with heads lowered
as if they too shared the deep sor
row the the mourners about them.
A1I grades of society were repre?
sented among the mourners and the
diplomatic orps was present in its
full strength giving the funeral- a
semi international tone. ' '
During the morning preceding the
funeral ' the ; Emperor the crown
prince, and the royal princes sent
Several presents to the borne of the
dead general to be offered to the
spirit' of the late Marshal in accor-
daiice with Shinto rites; while among
the flowers that were strewn over the
coffin among the most conspicuous
were' the1- fldral offering of the Em
peror and a wreath sent by Admiral
Sperry.
Genaral Nodzu was of Satsuma ex
traction and a typical soldier of Ja
pan. While many of his fellow tribe
men joined the Saigo-Satsuma rebel
lion in 1877 he stood firm for the im
perial cause '.and fought against his
old friends with utmost zeal. 'His
memory is cherished as a model of
all that a servant of the Emperor
should be.
CAR SUPERINTENDENTS.
Gather In Chicago And Talk Tips,
Cold-Storage And Service.
CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-Tips,
storage meats, and service to benefit
the general public were discussed at
the annual meeting of the American
Car Service Superintedent's yester
day, the session closing with a din
ner to the officers and forty dele
gates. "It has been said," President H.
Sl.Calcutt of Covington, Ky., asser
ted, that we are endeavoring to evade
the pure food laws. We are trying to
have them enforced to the fullest ex
tent. Our service has been improved
with these laws and with a stricter
enforcement meats on 'dining cas
will be up to the standard of the best
hotels." "
The question of discontinuing tips
evoked argument the majority of
those present contending that "with
out, tips" the service would not be
improved and might be made worse.
The question was left over for the
meeting today. ..-- .. .
EASTERN DROUGHT.
Chicago and Illinois Now Involved,
in Water Famine.
CHICAGO, Oct. 23. Unless there
is a rainfall soon in the southern part
of Illinois, the coal mines will have
to shut down for want of water for
making steam and for operating their
coal washing machinery, according
to' coal traffic officials of the Bur
lington, Chicago and Eastern , Illi
nois and Illinois. Centra roads.r
Scarcely any fain has fallen in
Franklin and "Williamson , counties,
where most of the coal mines 'are lo
cated, since last May, they say, and
many of the mines already have been
forced to shut down. Others are
hauling water to the mines from long
distances and borrowing from the
supplies kept by the railroads in res
ervoirs all along their lines for their
engine tanks.
The supply is now becoming ex
tremely low and if the drought con
tinues the mines, many of which have
been obliged to curtail their produc
tion, will be obliged to suspend op
eration entirely.
The railroad is willing to share its
water with the mine owners as long
as possible," said V. A. Holley, in
charge of the coal traffic of the Bur
lington yesterday," because in that
region the coal business is about all
we have' to handle, and if there is no
coal we will have no use for the wa

Wonderful Recovery Of New York

NEW YORK. Oct. 23. It is just

has been made from the depression
that followed. During the flurry IS
banks in New York, the majority of

for one reason or another, to close
their doors. In the year that has pas

LAKE HARBOR. .
Chicago Proposes To Increase Her
Waterfront Refuge.
CHICAGO, Oct. 23,-The first de
finite proposal for the creation of a
great commercial lake harbor along
Chicago's waterfront was made to
Mayor Busse yesterday by the Fur
niture Exposition Company. This
concern desires to build a deep water
harbor off the lake front immediate
ly north of the mouth of the Chicago
river, with its docks and : slips the work
is estimated to cost $8,000,000. .
The harbor intended to accomo
date both passenger and freight lake
traffic. The plans provide for the ex
tension of street.car service along the
docks to the gangways of the steam
ers while a lighterage system is de
signed to handle merchandise. :
If the proposal meets with appro
val from the city administration the
council will be asked to co-operate
with the company in securing from
the tate legislature the necessary au
thority to construct the docks.;
i.The proposed grant will provide
that the docks -will -become the pro
perty of the city at the end of 20
years. . .. ' " . j
