Loss of Able Sovereign Deeply
Felt the World Over.
During the Long Years of His Prince
hood Edward's Public Duties Con
sisted of Representing His Mother
t Public Functions, a Duty He Per
formed With Singular Tact Since
His Accession to the Throne He
Has Exe-ted a Wide Influence In
European Politics as a Diplomat
Edward VII., King of Great Britain
and Emperor of India, died Just be
fore the new day began. The end
came at Buckingham palace at 11:40
Krlday night.
Hla only surviving son now reigns
as George V.
London was anxious all day. The
sudden news of the king's grave ill
ness came as a blow because his ma
Jepty was reported to have returned
from Biarritz in fair health. All day
crowds loitered about Buckingham
palace and the Mansion House in the
city, where the physicians' bulletins
were displayed.
So grave wps the last official bulle
tin that an urgent summons was Is
sued to all the members of the royal
family not already gathered at the
palace to come there Immediately.
The king was always a difficult pa
tient for his physicians to manage.
He was even more difficult during his
past two days' illness.
During the morning and afternoon
Ms majesty was exceedingly restless
and insisted on getting out of bed
und partially dressing. The physi
cians could rot induce him to with
draw his mind from certain affal i
of Btate. Ho often petulantly oh
terved that he was unable to rest
because he could -not withdraw his
mind from consideration of the po
litical situation.
King Edward's fatal illness came
just about a year ago as the first se
rious reports concerning his health
had become current on both sides of
the Atlantic. In the spring of 1009
he went to Biarritz, where he had oft
en gone before. But after ' he had
been there a little while the word
came out that his step was no lon
ger elastic, that he kept much to him
self, permitting no one outside his
suite to dine with blm, except Mrs.
George Keppel, and that for this
time he had gone to Biarritz not for
a holiday but by direction of his phy
sicians, who were concerned over his
health. However, the king returned
to London In due time and so far as
the world has been allowed to know
had a normal year thereafter.
This spring he went again to Biar
ritz and again reports came out from
there that his health was far from
good. The reports received a cer
tain sort of non-offlclal confirmation
when the king abandoned his an
nounced purpose to go with Queen
Alexandra on a yachting cruise in
be Mediterranean on the return from
which. It was said, he purposed pay
ing with the queen a return visit to
King Manuel of Portugal. The next
news that the world got after the king
had gone back to London was on May
5 when the dispatches announced that
ho was unable to go to the railway
station to meet the queen on her re
turn after a visit of the continent.
In the last few months King Edward
figured In the most momentous crisis
of his career and took a positive posi
tion In it. It was in February of
this year that he showed he had a
mind and a will of his own. The oc
casion was the opening of parliament
lifter the elections which followed the
action of the lords in throwing out
the budget, an election at which, In
addition to the question of the bud
get, the whole matter of the lords'
prerogatives as affecting legislation
Was brought up and discussed.
The country gave the government,
a majority, but when he came to open
parliament the king for the first time
In the modern history of England re
fused to Identify himself with the
policy of his ministers. Edward,
while by his acts and words pro
claiming himself a constitutional
monarch, declined to subscribe to a
fundamental change in the British
constitution, the proposed shearing
of the hereditary legislative power
of the lords. His act of Independence,
which set all England agog, lay In In
serting in the speech from the throne
prepared for him by the ministers,
the phrase: "In the opinion of my ad
visers." The actual complaint from which
Ms majesty suffered was an asthmatic
cardiac affection, and as usual In
such cases oxygen had been admin
istered to him at Intervals since
Ihursday night
There Is no doubt that the king
raught the chill which devoloped so
fatally during his week end visit at
Fandrlngham for the purposes of in
specting the changes and alterations
which had been made In the house
and grounds of his Norfolk home.
The weather was cold and damp and
his majesty completely exhausted
himself In his inspection of various
points of interest, on which he was
accompanied by Sir Dighton Probyn,
keeper of the privy purse and extra
equerry to the king. On Monday even
ing he returned to town and dined
jirivately In Grosvenor Crescent. The
chill was already showing signs of
developing when he returned to the
paUee late In the evening.

Central r"'l m p-oinr, tho award
of E. K. till .vnd P. II. Morrlssey,
the arbitraioM In the case of the de
mands of the trainmen and conduc
tors of the Now York Central and
several other railroads, were sent to
the reprtsentatlvcs of the railroad
and of the men.
They are a compromise between the
award In tho case of the trainmen
and conductors of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad, whose demands were
arbitrated under the Erdman act, and
the wages that were offered by the
Central. It had been the aim of the
officers of the trainmen and conduc
tors brotherhoods to make the Balti
more & Ohio' award a standard for
nil the eastern roads, but the award
In the case of the New York Central
In some cases grants the Baltimore
&. Ohio terms and In others grants
less on account of local conditions on
the Central.
The officers of the trainmen and
conductors said that they were not
disappointed. The New York Central
issued the follownlg stutement:
STILL AN INDEPENDENT
Mr. Hearst Does Not Second John
Temple Graves' Idea of Joining
Democrats.
Instead of being heckled as some
thought he would be at the meeting
of the executive committee of the
Independence League at the Ho
tel Astor, New York city, William
R. Hearst had presented to him a silver-framed
set of resolutions thank
ing him for his efforts to bring about
the election of the fusion candidates
last fall.
Because of the speech recently
made In Washington by John Temple
Graves, one of Mr. Hearst's represent
atives, in which he Intimated that un
der certain conditions the Independ
ents might be willing to Join with
the Democrats, some of the more rad
ical members of the league had In
mind an Intention to put It up to Mr.
Hearst to explain his position.
There was no need, however, for
any such questioning. Mr. Hearst in
his speech acknowledging the gift of
the resolutions made it clear that he
was still for an Independent party
and he also Intimated that the Inde
pendents would put a state ticket in
the Held this year.
CLEVELAND'S UNION STATION
It Will Require 35 Acres and Cost
About $2,500,000.
The union station which the Penn
sylvania and the New York Cent
ral railroads are to build In
Cleveland, with Its approaches, yards,
etc., will require 35 acres of ground
and will cost upward of $2,500,000.
In size It will be Just about the
same as the South Terminal at Bos
ton, though seven acres less in area
than the St. Louis Btation, and a pig
my compared with that at Washing
ton, which occupies lf5 acres, the
waiting room alone being greater in
extent than entire stations in many
large cities.
CIGARSKILL? DOCTORS SPLIT
Heart Specialists at Washington
Smoke as They Discuss Tobacco.
As smoke wreaths from their ci
gars floated through the room, heart
specialists from throughout the
country, who are attending the con
gress of American Physicians and
Surgeons at Washington, dis
cussed the question whether the pro
longed and excessive use of tobacco
meant "sudden death."
At the close of a lengthy debate
(hey were far from reaching an agree
ment. Dr. H. L. Eisner of Syracuse,
X. Y., and Dr. Judson Daland of
Philadelphia declared that excessive
smoking tended to cause angma pic
toris. Dr. R. O. Curtin of I'hiladet
phla and others combatted the the
ory as a general proposition.
MELVIN NYE A MINER
Discards His Clerical Garb for That
of the Lamp-Lit Helmet.
Milvin Nye, who died at 80 years
of ago, years ago left the Methodist
Episcopal ministry to become a real
coal miner. In his younger days he
was a student of theology, later
preaching In the Methodist Eplscoual
church at Ellwood City, Pa. He
became dissatisfied, however, and
laid aside the clerical robes for the
greasy, lamp-lit helmet of the miner.
At this work he happily passed the
later years of his life, and had been
.employed at many of the coal mines
l.i this vicinity. He Is survived by
bis wife and five children.

NEW Yi.
KING
POPULAR
Expresses Wish That Public
Recreation Be Not Curtailed.
Actors and Actresses Overjoyed at
Action of New Sovereign Amuse
ments at Theaters Will Not Be In
terfered With Move Shows the
New Ruler Intends to Follow In
the Footsteos of His Father.
Ixindon, May 10. One of the first
official acta of the new sovereign
Bhows him to be possessed of the same
kindly thoughtfulness for his success
that characterized his distinguished
father. In his desire to mitigate as
fas as possible the disastrous effects
of sudden mourning upon the public
King George has caused messages to
be issued expressing the tfish that
public recreations shall not be cur
tailed more than can be avoided.
This emulation of his fathers fast
will achie ve for him at one stroke an
enormous popularity with all classes
of citizens.
This announcement from the king
has brought Joy to the theatrical man
agers and thousands of actors and ac
tresses who faced ten days of en
forced Idleness. Beerbohm Tree and
Mr. Alexander, as the heads of tiie
two associations, respectively of the
atrical managers, have written the
lord chamberlain asking that official
to convey to his majesty their deep
appreciation of his kindly considera
tion . They added that although the
managers as a voluntary act of loy
alty had intended to close their houses
until after the funeral of King Ed
ward on May 20, they reopen as i;sual
on May 11. This Includes Charles
Frohman's houses which, of course,
were closed last night
The only new production which was
effected by the death of the king was
Geoige Tyler's "The Dawn of a To
morrow," which opened last Thurs
day night at the Garrlck. On the
evening of Its production, busses
everywhere bore flaming posters an
nouncing the Initial performance of
Mrs. Burnett's play.
The message from tho kin.'? which
was made public through the news
papers read as follows: Knowing so
well the wishes of my beloved father
I am sure that It would be contrary
to his -wishes If ther3 wero any in
terruption of the enjoyment of the
public during the Whitsuntide holi
days. I, therefore, hope thai the gen
eral mourning will not prevent my
people from taking the usual advan
tages of the various opportunities for
rest, recreation and amusement in
the coming days."
Furthermore, his majesty mado it
known that he wished the Ascot races
to be held as usual. The royal en
closure will be open as customary
with the exception of the royal , avll
lon. This will enable members of
society to attend, but it will be a
sober gathering as mourning dresses
will be Indispensable.

attache at Washington, who is an old
friend of Colonel Roosevelt. It was for
that reason that the Kaiser designated

checks of his brother's firm aggre
gating $404,000 and with having mis
applied the funds of the Mercantile
National, of which he was president,
to that extent.
All of the counts In the various In
dictments upon which Helnze Is be
ing tried regarding the loans made by
the bank to the Arm of Otto Helnze &
Co., prior to October 14, were thrown
out by the couri on a motion made by
the defendant's counsel.
J. P. Fernsler and E. A. Radert, the
government accountants, were cross
examined by John B. Stanchfleld most
of the day on their statements regard
ing the manner in which the United
Copper Company paid dividends and
on the general condition of the com
pany. About the most important ad
mission brought out was from Ac
countant Bernsler. He admitted, un
der questions by counsel for the de
fence, that the company had $1,332,
000 In deposits in various banks when
the dividend was paid In January, 1907,
thought Fernsler had not mentioned
this in his statement . This was more
than enough to meet the dividend with
out borrowing money . This witness
on his direct examination had practi
cally contended that the company was
an "empty shell" and could, not pay
Its dividends.
