AH MOW BURIED
WITH ALL POMP
CEREMONIES ATTRACT MANY
SIGHTSEERS
CHINATOWN'S LEADER AT REST
Funeral One of the Largest In the
History of Chinatown, and Ai.
most Its Entire Population
Is Present
With all the trappings- of a modern
clvlllzntlon and the henthen customs
and traditions of the middle ages, Ah
"Mow, one time political king of China
town, was burled yesterday after
noon.
In size ana importance the funeral
In the history of the Chinese quarter
has been surpassed only by that of
Wong Chee, who was murdered by a
fellow countryman 'ih 1893.
Thousands of persons, Angelenos and
Chinese, Intermingled In one confused
mass, stood for two hours in the mud
of the plaza and watched the unique
ceremonies, which were held in front
of the headquarters of the Hop Sing
Tong. Hundreds of others followed
the funeral cortege to the Chinese
cemetery, there to see tho unusual cus
toms which were observed.
A special detail of police and de
tectives were on hand at the plaza,
and ropes were stretched about the bier
to. protect it and the mourners from
being crushed by the crowd of curious
onlookers who sought to gain a view of
the principals.
Business Suspended
Business about the plaza was prac
tically at a standstill from 1 until 3
o'clock and street car service and traf
fic were suspended for nearly an hour
along North Main street when the pro
cession was formed and started on its
way to the cemetery.
At first it was determined by Mow's
friends to send his body to China there
to be burled by the side of his ances
tors, then a burial at San Francisco
was proposed, but to all of these plans
Mow's widow objected, and yesterday,
with disheveled hair and white mourn
ing garb, she publicly proclaimed her
grief with- tears and walls before the
bier of her departed husband.
—Mow's eight-year-old son, Ming .-Oh,
and' his seven-year-old daughter, "Yeh
Ping, .likewise white gowned and tur
baned, knelt beside their mother and
partook of her sorrow.
U At the plaza a pagoda had been
erected. In this flimsy structure,
adorned with inscriptions proclaiming
Mow's virtues, his body rested in state.
Before the pagoda on a small altar
stood a crayon photograph of the dead
man. In front of the altar was placed
a table laden with Chinese delicacies,
consisting of rice, fish, ducks, roasted
sucklings, nuts, confections and can
died fruits.
Cousins Bear Remains
:■• Eight pall-bearers, cousins of the
dead, and clad in white; eight chief
officers of the Hop Sing Tong, in cos
tume, and a squad of Chinese cadets
from the "Western Military academy,
with the chief mourners, were. the fig
ures in the ceremony.
gj Over all [ hung the ' heavy odor •of
hundreds of . burning . incense candles
and punk sticks.
'„ The exercises before the Hop Sing
Tong headquarters at an end, the
journey to the cemetery was begun.
Ah Mow's widow, children and their
attendants on foot- followed In, the
wake of the hearse. The funeral dirges
played by the American brass band
became a Jumble of confused sounds
with that of two bodies of Chinese
with their beating of torn toms, clang
ing cymbals and other Instruments to
keep off the devil. Chinese in carriages
followed, making the procession over
a .half mile long.
j Arriving at the cemetery, the funeral
party repeated substantially the rites
performed earlier In the afternoon. Be
fore an altar, flanked on either side by
incinerating - furnaces, which had al
ready consumed the personal belong
ings of Ah Mow, the widow and her
children took their positions.
.'The banquet to the dead had already
been prepared and was next the altar.
Bice wine was poured out Into doll-like
cups. These were taken by the friends
of the dead man and after putting the
cups to their lips as if to drink, the
contents were thrown to the earth, a
ceremony of drinking with the spirits
of the departed.
Journey to Grave
From the altar the short Journey to
the grave was. begun. The body of
Mow, between whose teeth there had
been placed a ten cent piece, that at
the resurrection his body might be
come as gold, was borne by his eight
cousins, ]Mfifi]|
Along the path to the grave facsim
iles of Chinese paper money were
thrown broad cast with the two-fold
purpose of, a purchase into heaven for
the dead man and that of warding off
the devil, who must go through each of
the /, numerous perforations of each
sheet of paper before he may reach the
body of Mow. ;
v At the grave there were no cere
monies of any kind.. The widow and
her children knelt before the grave,
the Chinese cadets stood at attention
and while the curious, held back by the
police, looked on,' the sexton and his

In Any Way f
By A undated Press.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. IB.—
The legislature today In joint, session
took the third ballot for United States
senator without result, ftnd then ad
journed juntll tomorrow. The third
ballot stood: Thomaß K. Niedringhaus,
81; Francis M. Cockrell, 81; 11. U.
Kerens, 6; Dr. Pettijohn, 3; total, 171.
Necessary to choice, 86.
This was a loss o^ four votes for
Niedringhaus since yesterday.
Richardson, Who voted for- Ntedring
haus yesterday, voted today with Kirk
ham for Dr. Pettijohn-. Hatzfedt, who
voted for Kerens, voted for Pettijohn
today. Two Democrats and two Re
publicans were paired, while a Nie
dringhaus man was absent, being ill.
Vice Chairman Bothwell issued a call
today for the meeting of the Republi
can state committee Monday afternoon
to consider the situation.
In view, of the continuance of the
deadlock the names of Gardner Lath
rope of Kansas City and Cyrus P. Wal
bridge, former mayor of St. Louis, are
mentioned today as possible compro
mise candidates.
It Is stated today on the authority of
a Kerens lieutenant that the fight is
not on Thomas K. Niedringhaus, but
on Thomas J. Akins and that unless
Niedringhaus repudiates the national
committeeman he must stand defeat.
National Committeeman Aklns Is now

publican party of Missouri to elect a
senator who Is free from suspicion In
any way. The statement then reviews
the charges against Mr. Niedringhaus
in connection' with a contribution of
$14,000 by St. Louis brewers to the Re
publican campaign fund, and contin
ues: , ; V li. V j -
"We feel that it would be a great
injustice to' the Republicans of this
state to elect any man to the exalted
position of United, States senator
whose name is tainted In this manner."
The statement . protests against the
activity of the federal office holders of
Missouri in Mr. Niedringhaus 1 behalf,
and declares that the eight members
will continue to vote against him.
BITTENGER BOLTED SENATE
NOMINEE 42 YEARS AGO
History Repeats Itself in Case of the
Aged Member of Missouri
Legislature
Special to The Herald.
JKPFERSON CITY, Jan. 19.— This is
not the first time John L. Bittenger
has bolted the caucus nominee for
United States senator. Forty-two years
ago this winter the last deadlock In the
election of a United States senator took
place In Missouri. At that time, as
now, John L. Bittenger and five others
held the key to the situation. Bltten
ger's bolt then led to the selection of
John B. Henderson for the long term,
while B. Gratz Brown had to content
himself with the short term. Bitten
ger occupies the same room in the Mc-
Carty house now that he did then, and
the same woman attends to his apart
ment, while tho.Siiine heating stove is
in the room that was there . forty-two
years ago.
' Conferences were held In Blttenger's
room then as now and this is taken as
an omen that the major will be ns suc
cessful in his present bolt as he was
when he elected Henderson, and that
It will result in the defeat of Niedrtng
haus for the senatorehlp.

LOS ANGELES KERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 20, 1905.
PROFESSOR PLEHN
ON TAX QUESTION
NOTED ECONOMIST DISCUSSES
PROPOSED REVISION
REMEDIES ARE CONSIDERED
Address Made Before Delegates to
County Assessors' Convention,
. and Members of Senate and
Assembly Committees
B»- Aonrlatr.l PrMM.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 19.— The- pro
posed revision of the taxation laws of
the state was the subject of an ad
dress delivered tonight In the assembly
chamber of the capltol before>the dele-
Kates to the county assessors' conven
tion, and the members of tho senate
and assembly committees of revenues
and taxation by Prof. Carl C. Plehn,
head of the department of economics
of the University of California. Gov
ernor Pardee was present at the meet-
Ing, as were nearly all the state of
ficials having offices at the capltol.
Senator Ward, who was the chair
man of the evening, announced prior
to the Introduction of the speaker, that
there would be a conference of the
revenue and taxation sub-committee
with Governor Pardee tomorrow morn-
Ing for the purpose of shaping the
various taxation bills Into some har
monious measure. The sub-committee
which will have charge of this work
will consist of Senators Ward, Lukens
and Belshaw and Assemblymen Waste,
Duryea, Stanton and Goodrich.
H. C. Kapp; president of the state
grange, told of the stand the granges
of the state had' taken to bring about
an improvement in the taxation sys
tem of the state.
Prof. Plehn, who Is recognized as
one of the foremost authorities In the
United States on the subject of taxa
tion, first., contrasted the commercial
am 1 Industrial conditions of the United
States when. the, constitution . was
adopted with the modern complexities
Involved In property holdings and the
resulting problems which are presented
in the .collection, of j taxe5...,.:,..,. .
■.;■ ''it v ls enough r - \o. atud'y '/ the : tax ' roll
to show that ' personal property, es
capes taxation to' a- very great' extent,"
said Prof. Plehn. "The kinds of-prop
erty which notably escape are bank'
deposits and merchandise. The present
system of taxation excuses to a" great
extent the crime of perjury.
"The first remedy for this state of
affairs Is to lay the blame on the coun
ty assessors. Another remedial scheme
is the Income tax. But ' our " experi
ments in taxing incomes has signally
failed. There ought, however, \to■ be
some way to get at a man's income
without putting him to the trouble of
a sworn statement. Instead of treat
ing, all property alike in our tax sys
tem, admit differences and go after
each Interest.
"The governor in his message has
suggested the separation of sources of
revenue for the cities and state. Let
cities tax their own real estate and let
the state keep its hands off.
"California now derives $9,000,000 of
taxes, in revenue, of which $6,000,000 is
a direct tax. We could raise $760,000
by direct Inheritance taxes, instead of
$250,000 as we do now by our collateral
Inheritance tax.
"Taxation of corporations Is another
natural source of revenues in states
where state and county taxes are Bep
arated. California should derive $3,000,
000 from corporation taxes. Another
source which might be well considered
is state liquor licenses. There are
about 60,000 saloons in this state, and
a revenue of $50 for each quarter for
each wilixm would yield the state a
large Income. Stamp taxes might be
another source. Billiard rooms and
bowling alleys and fees for the regis
tration of compulsory annual reports
of corporations are some other sources
that might be taxed. These make .a
total of $6,000,000 in revenue, which is
largely unaffected by our present taxa
tion system. At present the owners of
real estate pay 85 per cent of the taxes
of this state. The burden of our un
equal system fHlls too heavily upon this
species of property." >j
