UNCLE SAM HELPS
GUPIO OUT AFTER
DOMESTIC TANGLE
Omaha. Neb., Feb. 20. Uncle Sam
really has a heart, and a big one, too,
as has leen demonstrated at the office
of Immigration Inspector M. A. Coy
r.t r dull in the federal building:.
I.a-t November, Jovica Miljust and
Helen Kenezich came to Omaha from
Mor.tieal and have been living: to
gether in South Side as man and wife
ttr since. Miljush secured employ
ment with the Swift company and they
v. ere very happy.
It developed, however, that the
Ke r.e.rich woman had left a husband
and a H-vear-oid child in Montreal, and
s the government took a hand. They
wire arrested here and were booked
:"" deputation on the grounds of im-t;-rality
Miljush to ge back to war
st ricken Serbia and the woman to
Mont: eal.
Helen was able to show, however,
that her husband had been cruel to
her and had threatened to kill her, so
she alleges. These facts were present
ed at Washington and the imnigration
authorities there have now permitted
her and her mate to be paroled by the
Lev. IVtar Ostiyachich, of South Side,
until she can secure a divorce.

ROCK OF GIBRALTAR.
Tho "Key of the Mediterranean' Hat
Had a Stormy History.
England has been in iossess'on of the
rocky promontory of Gibraltar since
1701. From that time to tins it has
been a crowu colony under the admin
istration of a governor. Fy reason of
its important strategical position it is
called the "key of the Mediterranean."
Gibraltar has had u stormy history.
In 711 the rock was taken by the Arab
chief Tarik, who called it Jebel-al-Tar-ik
(Hill of Tarik) ami built n fortress
on the promontory. Part of these ruins
is still extant. In 1309 it was taken
by the Castilians, only to bo recaptured
by the Moors in 1"J33. It was held by
them until 1402. Following the tak
ing and sacking of Gibraltar in l."40
by Barbarossa. extensive military
works were built there by order of
Charles V.
In 1704 the promouotory "was cap
tured by a combined force tinder Sir
'cerge Rooko and the Prince of Ilesse
Pnrmstadr, lighting for the Archduke
Charles of Austria. The moment it fell
into their hands the British admiral
threw off the alliance with the Aus
trians and took complete possession of
the works.
British possession since that time lias
been unbroken, although it was under
a Spanish sitge for nearly three years
and eight mouths, beginning in 177:'.
Twice the garrison was on the point
of falling because of the starvation of
its defenders.
Line and Staff Officers.
Broadly speaking, the distinction be
tween a line olllcer and a staff oflicer
is that between the fighter and the
nonnghter. The staff etlicer has ihu
military duties. lie may. for example,
be a member of the medical corps, an
instructor nt a military institute or

FUNERAL TRAIN
BEARS FUNS1WS
ODY WESTWARD
Soldiers and Civilians Pay Tribute to
Late General at San Antonio.
BURIAL AT SAN FRANCISCO
Impressive Scenes Mark Occasion of
Services in Texas City.
Emporia, Kas., Feb. 20. General
Funston's mother, Mrs. E. II. Fun
ston, will leave here at 1 o'clock to
morrow morning for San Francisco,
where she will attend the funeral of
her son. She will be accompanied
by her youngest son. Relatives said
tonight that the general's mother was
much disappointed because efforts to
bring the body of her son to Topeka
had failed. Mrs. Funston, whose
home is in Iola, Kas., recently has
been ill.
San Antonio, Tex., Feb. 120. A
funeral service of military simplicity,
in which regulars at Fort Sam Hous
ton, national guardsmen at Camp
Wilson and thousands of civilians
from San Antonio joined, was held
this afternoon for the late Major Gen
eral Frederick Funston, commander
of the southern department, whose
sudden death occurreel last night from
a heart atfectieut.
The culminating honor paid the
dead general here was the placing of
his body within the Alamo, the first
time that historic structure has been
used for such a purpose.
The only religious services hole! to
day were at General Funston's ofii
cial residence at Fort Sam Houston,
Chanlain Barton V. Perry of the
Third field artillery read the regular
army burial service. "'Leael Kindly
Iis' t," was played by the Nineteenth
infantry band. A procession form
ed at the residence after this brief
service in order as follows:
Police, mounted orderlies Nine
teenth infantry band, Thirty-seventh
infantry, Battery E. of the Seventh
field artillery; Squadron A of the
Alabama cavalry; Jleneral Funstm's
body, carrieel on a caisson. Genera
rum-dons horse, pahbearers oihccrs
of General Funston's staff and of the
southern department.
A continual procession tiled m am;
out of the building and many were
unabie to gain entrance. At S o'cloc
accompanied bv an honor guard of
Company C, Thirty-seventh infantry
the casket was taken to the Southern
Pacific station, where it was placet
in an observation car. In the car
surroneled by flowers and with two
soldiers standing at attention by the
casket, the body will make the jour
ney to San Francisco. Captain Fitz
Hueh Lee, General Funston's aide, a
sergeant and nine enlisted men wil
accompany the body. The specia
train consisting of the observation
car and a sleeper, left the station at
S:l" o'clock tonight.
The route of General Funston's
funeral train for more than 1,000
miles will skirt the international
bolder over which the late command
er kept a watchful eve for eleven
months past. Some time tomorrow
the train will pass the edge of the
Big Bend country, later reaching the
route taken by the first troops rush
ed to Columbus, after the raid of last
March.
I lie private soldiers standing at
attention beside the casket will be re
lieved every two hours so that a con
stant guard will be maintained until
the train reaches San Francisco.
At the service this alternoon not
an ollicer attending was in full dress.
Like the enlisted men, all wore the
regular Khaki service uniform, the
only distinction being the designating
stars, or bars, and the side arms that
the officers wore. This was done by
regular officers out of consideration
for officers of the national guard,
many of whom had only service uni
forms here.
The only incident distinguishing the
funeral service of the honored leader
fi'om that of any army officer, came
just as the chaplain finished reading
the burial service at General Funs
ton's residence. At that moment thir
teen carmon boomed out the major
general's salute. The band of the
Nineteenth infantry then began play
ing softly, "Lead, Kindly Light."
Only once on the two-mile march
from Fort Sam Houston to the Ala
mo did the band play a funeral
march. 'The remainder of the "way,
only the solemn beat of- mufTled drums
marked the progress of the long pro
cession.
At the Alamo perhaps the most
touching incident of the funeral oc
curred when Brigadier General
Henry A. Greene, commander of the
Twelfth provisional division at Camp
Wilson stepped apart from the group
