Canton, July 16. The funeral service of the late General Lui Woon-yim, Governor of Kwangsi, who was murdered in Montcalm: Canton last month, was held here yesterday with much pomp....

The funeral procession, which passed through the principal maloos of the city, measured more than one mile in length. It proceeded from the Sun Yat Sen Hospital to the Fung Ng Mortuary on the Ko Kong Hill. The burial ground for the late General has not yet been definitely selected, though it is re- ported that the Provincial Autho rities are likely to select a site in the White Cloud Mountains near Sha-ho. Owing to the disturbed state of affairs in Kwangsi, the late General's remains will not be re- his native place for turned to burial. Numerous wreaths and other floral tributes were sent to yesterday's ceremony. including those from Marshal Chiang Kai- shek and all the other high officials in Nanking as well as from the officials or most of the Provincial Governments of the country, In amongst others General Chan Ming- the funeral cortege were noticed shu, Civil Governor of Kwangtung; General Tang Yin-wab, Commis- Bioner of Reconstruction; Admiral
