FUNERAL AT CAIRO.
ORDERLY PROCESSION. CAIRO, Nov. 19. Thirty thousand people, including the Wafd leader, Nahas Pasha, university professors, schoolgirls, nurses and 10,000 students, attended the funeral of a student who was shot in selfdefence during the Independence Day riot by Bimbashi Lees, a New Zealander, on November 13. The procession was very impressive and without disorder, following the Government’s announcement that a public funeral would be permitted provided no sticks were carried.
