drove th rain In horizontal sheets,
failed to kep indoors th thousands

, The feeling. of San Franciscans was
eloquently expressed by Rev. William

th First Presbyterian church.
"We cltlsens of San Francisco, who
went through th trying days of fir

Six Soldiers Sear Casket.
As th cof'in bearers left th church
everybody stood at attention. Behind
them wer the pallbearer, followed
closely by Major General J. Franklin
Bell, and members of his staff.
Th wind shrieked wildly and. th
rain cam down in a steady torrent
and poured Into the opeu grave as
six soldiers, bearing the casket from
th caisson on which It had been taken
to the cemetery, stumbled and slipped
through a morass of mud. "When the
casket had teen lowered Into the
ground and th grave had been cov

solitary trumpeter. wer almst
"drowned out by the howl, of the wind.
After th parting three volleys had
.- been fired, the bare mound was cov
- ered several feet with flowers which
admirers of General Funston had sent.
Th most striking figure In the hun
dreds of mourners was General Fun
. aton's horse, a black animal which
was led, riderless, behind the caisson
t,on which was his master's body. The
saddle was empty but General Fun-
ston s riding boots reversed were

This was translated yesterday at th
office of the Spanish consular repre
sentative, where It was taken by City
Detective Frank Snow and it was found
to explain the motive for the dual
killing. As learned by the police at

In ths rooming house earlier In the day.
The letter was written In astyle
showing that the author was a man
of much education, for the Spanish
translator , said its construction was
faultless. The missive follows:
"Last regards. February 21. 1917. On I

in advance. The landlady was busy.
I took out my pocketbook, with IIS,
and after paying for the room rent I
left the purse on the desk.
"Then I went out, looking for some
thing to pass the time, and went to
a restaurant for breakfast. I ordered
some mutton chops, and when I wanted
to pay I found my purse missing and
left my watch for security for the
meal. The watch Is valued at 17. I
went back right away and asked the
porter for my DUrse and he told me to
see the landlady. '
"I waited until later and asked the
landlady a thousand times to give me
my money. She said she would not re
turn anything left in the house. Then
I made up my mind to kill the woman
and do away with myself.
"I do not wish anybody to worry
about we. This is all I have to say,
goodbye. Portland. Oregon. February
