Bucharest Mourns Assassinated Premier.

It seemed as if the entire population turned out to join the funeral cortege of the late Premier of Rumania, M. Ton Dusa, when his body was brought here from Sinais, where he was assassinated, for burial, on January 2. This photograph shows the huge crowd that greeted the body formed in a cortego behind it as it was moved on a gun carriage from the railway station.
