Ceremony of Medieval Pomp Carried Out
in London. Crowd Sings National
Hymn. Garbed in Ancient Costumes
Heralds Conduct Impressive Ceremony
in St. James’ Palace and at Points in
London—Funeral of Edward May 20th.
London, May 10.—The proclamation
announcing the accession of King
Gtorge V. was read at the St. James
palace.
Friday, May 20, has been definitely
fixed as the date for King Edward's
funeral.
Immediately after the funeral of
her husband it is expected that the
queen mother will retire to Sandring-
ham palace, which King Edward some
years ago made over to her as a dower
King Edward died at 11.45 p. m. Fri-
day night, just as the theater crowds
were leaving the cafes. Silence fell
upon the crowds, who went sorrow-
fully home.
The cause of death, as given by the
king's physicians, was pneumonia,
which developed rapidly from the se
vere bronchial attack his majesty suf-
fered last week.
The official bulletin, announcing the
king's death, read as follows:
“May 6, 1910, 11.50 p. m. His ma.
jesty, the king, breathed his last at
eleven forty-five, in the presence of
her majesty, Queen Alexandra; the
Prince and Princess of Wales, the
princess royal, the Duchess of Fife;
Princess Victoria and Princess Louise
Duchess of Argyll.”
The actual complaint from which his
majesty suffered was an asthmatic
cardiac affection, and as usual in such
cases oxygen had to be administered
to him at intervals since Thursday
night. The medical examination was
first directed towards possible compli:
cations in the throat, this being the
particular cause which led to the call-
ing in of Professor Thomas. It had
been feared that an operation would
be necessary, but Professor Thomas
was able to make it clear that thzse
fears were groundless. The general
condition of his majesty was such,
however, that the gravest fears were
entertained by his doctors, and this
they indicated in a bulletin.
With the time-honored ceremony of
a brilliant and impressive character,
George V. was publicly proclaimed as
king of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland and the British
dominions beyond the seas, defender
of the faith, emperor of India.
Sharply at the stroke of 9 o'clock
four heralds, arrayed in medieval uni-
forms of scarlet, heavily braided with
gold, mounted the balcony of Friary
Court at St. James’ palace, where
Queen Victoria presented herself to
the people upon the opening of her
memorable reign. and blew a fanfare
through their long silver trumpets.
From the windows of Marlborough t
house, immediately opposite, the Duke
of Cornwall, the young heir to the
throne, the younger princes and Prin-
cess Mary watched the ceremony.

Robbed “Suckers” at Poker Game.
Tipped off by victims who claim to |
have lost thousands of dollars in a|
brace poker game, Atlanta, Ga. de:
tectives raided the office of Arthur W. |
Thurman, a prominent lawyer of At.
lanta, and found a game in progress.
the Duke of Norfolk, the
hereditary earl marshal and chief but- |
ler of England, took their places on |
company. None wore mourning, this
having been removed for the occasion.
Sir Alfred Scott Scott-Gatty, Garter
principal king of arms, with the Duke
of Norfolk and two officers bearing
the staves of office, stepped to the
front of the balcony, and in a voice
which could be heard across the court
and in the streets adjoining, read the
proclamation, while great throngs
stood uncovered in a drizzling rain.
The duke and Sir Alfred then called
for three cheers for the king, and the
people responded with fairly deafening
hurrahs. which were silenced only by
the reappearance of the heralds, who
sounded another fanfare.
The last note hardly died away
when the band of the Cold Stream
Guards, which had taken up a posi-
tion in the square, struck up “God
Save the King.” The young princes
from their point of vantage in the
windows of Marlborough house stood
with their hands at salute and the
officers and troops stood at attention.
Crowd Sings National Anthem.
As the national anthem was conclud-
ed the first gun of the battery in St.
James’ park belched forth a royal sa-
lute and the people in the square and
streets at the same moment took up
the refrain “God Save the King.” This
was probably the most impressive
part of the ceremony, the fervent sing-
ing of the crowds growing in volume
as more and more singers joined in,
while at minute intervals the gun half
drowned the chorus.
The popular demonstration at an
end, the earl marshal and his attend-
ants proceeded to the Ambassador's
court, whence they drove to Charing
Cross and (hence to the city of Lon:
don to read the proclamation to the
veople at the designated points. The
route to the city proper was lined with
7000 troops, while at the places at
which the procession stopped and re-
peated the ceremony troops and Horse
Guards were stationed. The royal car
riages of the Duke of Norfolk, Sir Al-
fred Scott Scott-Gatty and the officers
of arms, followed by General French
with the headquarters staff and
troop of cavalry, drove briskly from
St. James’ palace to Charing Cross.
Thousands upon thousands who had
waited since early morning silently
watched the stately progress of the
heraldic procession. At Charing Crass

room. Sitting in the game were At.

and Crocket are well to do Atlanta
men. It is said they were “pigeons.”
The names of the victims are being
withheld, but out of the number it is
said that one man lost $3200, another
$2000, another $1000, and still another
$485. The detectives say that over
$30,000 has been lost in the room by
“suckers.”
Railroad Bill Passes House.
The administration railroad bili,
amended in many particulars, was
passed by the house of representa-
tives by a vote of 200 to 126. A
final effort made to restore section 12,
which proposed to legalize mergers,
failed. The Republicans voted solidly
for the bill, while fourteen Democrats
also cast votes in the affirmative.
The tariff agreement clause and the
provision permitting railroads te pur
chase the stock of non-competing
transportation companies were the
chief features of the measure as re
ported to the house by the committee
on interstate and foreign commerce
that were stricken out by the house.
Dying Baby Cries For “Daddy.”
Crying weakly for the “daddy” who
never came, and its voice finally
hushed by death, the three-year-old
child of ex-Councilman Jehn P. O'Don-
nell, of Pittsburg, Pa., will be buried,
while the father is a fugitive from jus.

$10,000 bond required by the court.
Unaware of the tears being shed in
his Pittsburg home and ignorant of
the death of his child, O'Donnell is
hiding. O'Donnell is charged on sev.
eral counts with bribery. He could not
procure the necessary bail and fled

Earthquake Kills 1800
Cartago, Costa Rica, was destroyed
by an earthquake on Wednesday. Not
one house remains standing in the
city, and it is feared that many are
helpless beneath the ruins.
The number of persons killed is es-
timated at more than 500. Four hun-
dred bodies have been recovered from
the ruins.
The buildings of the town collapsed,
and the surviving populace was thrown
into a panic.
Hundreds of people were rendered
homeless.
The interior of Costa Rica has been
devastated. Conservative tabulations
place the number of dead at 1800. The
country to the north and northwest of
San Jose has been cleaved open. En-
tire villages have been undermined
and lost in the maw of the earthquake.
Cartago probably has suffered the
greatest pecuniary loss. In the moun-
tain country there were scores of vil-
lages and humble settlements that
dropped out of sight. The loss accru-
ing from damage to banana and rub-
ber plantations alone is enormous. The
first news of the calamity was brought
to San Jose by couriers from the in-
terior. From villages to the north and
northwest there came the same story
of death and devastation. Between
Cartago and San Jose the same condi-
tion prevails.
As the refugees arrived at San Jose
they brought further news of the de-
vastation wrought by the shocks. They
agree that Cartago is practically de-
stroyed, but the estimates of the dead
and injured are conflicting. They said
the report of 500 fatalities was conser-
vative,
According to the reports that were
received here the refugees say that
communication between Cartago with |
outside points has been interrupted |
and much damage has been done
along the railway line leading to Port
Limon. The shocks threw the 10,000
inhabitants into a panic. The authori
ties, however, kept their heads and,
martial law being declared, promptly
began the work of rescue.
China Abolishes Slavery.
The Chinese government has issued
an imperial rescript which has abol-
ished slavery throughout the empire
and has prohibited henceforth the
purchase and sale of human beings
under any pretext. The retainers of
Manchu princes are not emancipated.
however, but it is forbidden to call
them slaves. They have long enjoyed
educational and other privileges. The
household slaves of the Manchus are
also refused emancipaticn, but their
status under the law is improved.
Under this rescript the immemorial!
practice of selling children in China
in times of famine is abolished, ai-
though they may be bound for a speci-
fled term, but never beyond the age of
twenty-five years.
Concubinage is still to
but there is to be no bargain and sale.
Such concubines are to be married
with proper legal formalities, and they
will enjoy the protection of the law.
but in reality they will be no better
than perpetual slaves to the principal
wife.
The rescript is said to be a com-
| promise measure, but it will event
ually give freedom to millions of hu
man beings.

Berlin, May 12.—In the company of
Emperor William, Theodore Roosevelt
witnessed a mimic battle in which
12,000 men of the German army en-
gaged in the vicinity of Doeberits.
It had been feared that the former
president would be obliged to forego
this part of the entertainment planned
for him because of the condition of
his throat, but Professor Fraenkel, the
throat speciaiist, decided that Colonel
Roosevelt would suffer no inconveni-
ence by being for a few hours in the
open alr.
The colonel wore a riding costume
and was provided with a thoroughbred
from the imperial stables.
His majesty took a mount, and to-
gether they rode over the maneuver-
ing field of some twenty square miles
and observed the working out of the
army problem.
The maneuvers were witnessed also
by a party which included Empress
Anguste Victoria, Crown Prince Fred:
erick William, Crown Princess Ce-
cilie, Princess Victoria Louise, Prince
Adalbert, Kermit Roosevelt and Henry
White.
The engagement opened with an ar
tillery duel, followed by a sharp col
lision along the whole front between
cavalry and infantry. Three thousand
cavalrv participated, but there was no
grand charge.
The day was bright and sunny and
the effect was most pleasing from
Muehlenberg hill, from which Colonel
Roosevelt, the emperor, umpires and
officers of the general staff watched
the finale.
The operations completed. officers
above the rank of major assembled on
Muehlenberg hill to hear the criticism
of emperor and umpires.
When these had been made the em
peror in a loud voice called out:
“My Friend Roosevelt—I have been
greatly pleased to show you some of
our German troops. You are the first
civilian who has reviewed our sol
diers.”
Turning to the officers, his majesty
added: “We are honored today in
having here the distinguished volone!
of the Rough Riders.”
Parting salutations were then ex:
changed and the imperial party left in
automobiles for Potsdam, while Mr.
Roosevelt, Kermit and Mr. White re-
turned to this city.
