Preliminary Events.
London. June 19. Rain began fall
in? steadily early this afternoon and
the flacs along the streets, tonight
Ming HiP. their gaudy colors blurred
,ljle paint ran down the columns of
the triumphal arches. Some of the
finest decorative effects arranged for
the coronation celebration stand a fair
chance of being ruined. The spectac
ular aspect of London is considerably
damaged, but the town has festive
appearance regardless of the unkind
ne s of the weather."
Many illuminations blazed tonight
til the way from the west end clubs
to the heart of the financial district,
where the stock exchange and the
Bank of England were bright with
electric lights. Throngs of the people
splashed cheerfully through, the mud
cy streets enjoying the patriotic show.
Buckingham Palace again today
was the center of popular interest.
"Central-London will see little rest
day or night until the. crowning is
over. Well into the small hours ot
the morning there was a constant pa
rade of belated sight-seers watching
curiously the thousands of workmen
engaged in completing the decorations
cf which much still remains to oe
done and must be done at night time
(.ting to the difficulty in obtaining
silficient men.
The King and Queen had a busy
Jay. In addition- to receiving a large
OTer of visiting .royalties at .the
.ace, they attended rehearsal cere
Hony at the Abbey, and this evening
dined the foreign representatives at

ceived deputations from various parts
of the empire, who presented gifts
and addresses.
All the visiting princes and prin

the President of the United States,
were present.
The fleet at Spithead is now prac-ti-ally
in full force for the Review.
Most of the foreign vessels arrived
today and took up their stations.
Each of the foreign vesseltf-on en
tering the harbor fired a salute of 21
gun- in honor of the nation and anoth
er of 17 guns in honor of the com-mapder-in-chief.
After the royal dinner at theN pal

PACKERS MUST
Meat Barons Denied Motion for Re
hearing of Motion to Quash In
dictments Cite Supreme
Court Rulings.
Chicago, June 19.J. Ogden Ar
mour, Louis F. Swift and eight other
Chicago packers must stand trial, pro
bably in October, as the result of a
decision today of Judge iGeorge A. Car
penter, in the United States District
Court, who denied a motion of the
packers for a re-hearing of their mo
tion to quash indictments charging
violation of the Sherman anti-trust
act. .
No written opinion had ,been pre
pared by Judge Carpenter and he gave
no reason for his finding.
The latest motion of the packers for
a re-hearing of their motion to quash
the indictments was based on recent
decisions of the United States Su
preme Court In the Standard Oil and
American Tobacco Company cases-in
which the word "unreasonable" had
been held within the meaning of the
statute.
Counsel for tne packers held that
there had been ho "reasonable" re
straint of the packing Industry and
that a new hearing should be granted.
They also pleaded that the provisions
of the Sherman act were too indefinite
to warrant the return of indictments
or prosecution of alleged violation of
its inhibitions.
The next move, it is said, .will be
for the packers to tenter a plea to the
charge in the indictments.
The packers under indictment and
who were moved nearer to trial by the
decision today, are: J. Ogden Ar
mour, president of Armour & Co.;
Louis F. Swift, president of Swift &
Co.; Edward F. Swift, vice president
of Swift & Co.; Charles H. Swift, di
rector of Swift & Co.; Edward Tilden,
president of the National Packing
Company; Arthur Meeker, general

HUMAN FRAGMENTS FOUND.
Work of Exploring Hull of Maine is
. Still irr Progress.
Havana, June 19. With the first
discovery this morning of some hu
men fragments, the work of exploring
hie hull of the Maine for the primary
purpose of recovering and giving hon
orable sepulchre lo the bodies of her
crew was at last begun, after many
weary months of preliminary work.
While workmen were clearing the
spar deck between the after engine
room superstructure in the immediate
vicinity of the after port-side turret,
they found bones of a right foot en
closed in the ragged remnant of a
shoe, and nearby the bones of a fore
arm, the hand being missing. Soon
.after this they came upon the bones
of another forearm. All were blacken
ed, possibly from fire, and d3eply en
crusted with a coral growth.
No hope of identification was of
fered except that the shoe suggested
that the wearer probably was either
an officer, a mess attendant or a mem
ber of tho marine guard, the blue jack
ets in tropical climate habitually go
ing barefoot.
Further exploration in that portion
of the ship did not reveal anything
vhich might assist in the identifica
tion. The remains were reverently
placed in a receptacle on board the
United States collier Leonidas.
A search of the spar deck and offi
cers' quarters superstructure resulted
in the discovery of a paper-covered
novel, in which the owner's name on
the title page was illegible, a pair of
binoculars, much corroded, two rain
coats, a barrel of bottled mineral wa
ter and a quantity of porcelain belong
ing to the captain's and the ward room
messes. It was noticeable that thq
rubber articles withstood well the ac
tion of the water. All metal objects
were reduced to unidentifiable masses
of black oxide.
The -water level had lowered at night
fall to 14 feet, leaving visible all the
spar deck from the stern to the fore
part of the engine room superstructure
on the port. side. The latter-deck is
badly bulged and apparently the side
of the ship under this, including the
armor belt, wa3 blown outward, which
probably resulted in the explosion of
the Maine's after magazine.
This evening the after part of the
vessel, including the officers' quarters,
had been for the most part cleared of
mud and drcbris; The dead lights of
the main deck on the after portside
are visible, but a view of the inner is
obscured by masses of mud. By-morning
the water level will be" reduced to
fifteen feet, when pumping will be sus
pended. The exposed portion will then
te freed from silt and marine growth,
and further exploration of the inner
portion will be possible.

TUFT TOLD PLANS
FOR HIS FUTURE
President Refers to ."Less Ac
tive Life" in Speech to
Cincinnati Club.
RETURNS TO HIS PROFESSION
Addressed ;the "Homefolks" Who
Came to Washington to Silver
Wedding Celebration Wel
comed and Unwelcomed. :
Washington, June 19. President
Taft, in a happy vein delivered an ad
dress to the Commercial Club of Cin
cinnati today at which he lightly re
ferred to the possibility of "going back
to a less active life" away from the
Presidency as having both welcome
and unwelcome phases; that in the
absence of any provision for ex-Presidents
he would open-a law office in
his old home city, and, that he is de
termined that his srn Robert shall
work out his life amid those sur
roundings. Mr. Taft was speaking at the Chevy
Chase Club here in the Washin&ton
suburbs, at a luncheon tendered him
there by the Cincinnati Commercial
Club and was formally accepting for
Mrs.- Taft and himself a silver rose
bowl presented by the Cincinnatians.
The President said In part: -
"As I look about this table, and ex
ercise such memory as has been left
me after my experience in Washing
ton almost every face brings up some
incident in my life at Cincinnati that
I like to cherish and as the time grows
nearer when I shall go back to Cin
cinnati to make it my permanent
home, as a retiring place for one ex
President, the pleasure ' of retrospec
tion as to Cincinnati friendships
grows greater and greater.
"Mrs. Taft and I esteem-the coming
of the Commercial Club here to at
tend our silver wedding as the chief
pleasure of .the occasion; It is air in
dication that you men of affairs have
been willing to take the time to come
here, to give an expression of good
will and-of fellowship which the ob
jects of It ought to value and doJvalue
most highly."
The President then in referring to
the fact that it had been 12 years
since he and his family had left Cin
cinnati said that did not seem such a
long time. In this connection he told
of the tremendous change that had
taken place in that time in his career
that of a judgeship to the Presiden
cy. "The effect that it. has upon one's
life and character," said the President,
"is something that one realizes fully,
but cannot explain. Of course, there
are others who have. had. similar, ex
periences, but I venture to say that it
is rather exceptional to Include within
a limit of little more .than a decade,
that which has happened to me to
go from the somewhat humdrum, but
always delightful life of a judge, who
could retire from public life in any
sense without being exposed "to criti
cism, to a place where there seemed
to be nothing but criticism,- was a
change that only a man who has 'been
through it can fully understand.
"The prospect of going back to a
less active life has in it at this time
some phases that are welcome and
some that are . unwelcome. The ne
cessity for labor, which will follow my
retirement, however, relieves me
somewhat from anxiety on that score.
There is as yet, so far as I have been
Informed, no provision for an ex-President,
and while I do not wish to hold
out any competition to the two law
yers who honor this club, I wish to say
to the rest of the members of .the club
that I shall open an office and be rea
dy for business,vnot at an old but at
a very new stand."
In speaking of the time when his
son "Robert shall come back to Cin
cinnati to practice law, declared that
while "it has been pressed on him and
me to have him go . to some place
where possibly his emoluments would
be larger, I am determined, and he
sympathizes with me, that he shall go
to the home that knew- his great
grandfather, and his grandfather and
his father, and that there he shall
work out his life under the influences
that I hope will be favorable to his
success at least in restraining him
within the path and the limitations of
an honorable life." y
The speech and presentation was
made' by James Albert Green, presi
dent ,ot the Commercial Club, who
said ' his organization came without
axes to grind and without petitions
to present, to assure the President of
the affection of the club membeis and
their loyalty,, adding that the esteem
In which they have always held him
''mounts higher and higher day by
day." , ; . .

SENATOR'S HERO!) SACRIFICE
1 , ;K
Luke Lee, of Tennessee, Saves Life
of Stricken Wife by Giving A
Quart of His fUood The
Transfusion Operation.
SC ' '
Washington, Jun; 19. United i
States Senator Luke Lea, of Tennes-I
see, to save the life 'of his stricken
wife, heroically sacrificed a quart of!
his blood at Georgetown hospital yes
terday and tonight hope for Mrs. Lea's
recovery, which had?, almost' been
abandoned, is practically assured, as
the anxious younges J -Senator of the
Nation lies near the bedside of his
wife recuperating' his "strength. l
Mrs. Lea's conditio, serious for
some time, became alarming Sunday
after an operation tho day before. The
strength because of lafcfc of blood, was
gone and vitality waVfast ebbing
away. Senator Lea, 'upon learning
her condition, demanded that a trans
fusion operation be; performed and
prepared at once to submit to the or
deal. Attending physicians and sur
geons made arrangements immediate
ly and -the operation vwhich followed
was declared to have:been very suc
cessful. Senator Lea withstood the opera
tion well, though it left him so weak
ened that for hours lie could not stand
alone, but gratification over the re
vivifying effect it hadupon his wife
was inexpressible. Surgeons assured
him that without tho feacriflce which
he made, Mrs. Lea could have lived
but a few hours. Both are tonight in
Georgetown University hospital.
It will be two or three days before
Mrs. Lea is altogether out of danger.
At present her symptolfrs are favora
ble, although she is still very weak.
Senator Lea is confined to hys bed at
the hospital, his vitality being reduc
ed by the transfusion : operation. It
is expected, however, that he will be
able to .leave his room, in a few4ays.
When heroic effort in Mrs. Lea's be
half became imperative and thev trans
fusion operation was determined up6n,
Senator Lea, athletic in stdttfre, would
not consent to anything but that a
sacrifice of his own r blood to renew
her vanishing strength be made.
Bat because the prime factor in
transfusion operations is that the
bloods be fusible, tests were hastily
ordered. Before the analysis was
complete, the surgeons, Drs. H. D.
Fry and George Tully Vaughn, fearing
that 4teatb- might bsj ifter than they
thought, became alarmed at Mrs. Lea's
condition and decided to try the ope
ration anyway. Just as the Senator's
arm had been bared and a tube insert
ed in an artery word came that the
bloods of the husband and wife were
fusible.
The other end of the tube which
had been inserted in Senator Lea's
arm was connected with an incision
in Mrs. Lea's' arm and the blood began
to flow from his veins to those of his
wife.' The transfusion continued for
about an hour and a half. The patient
responded to the treatment from the
first. Gradually the color was restor
ed to the lips and cheeks of the frail
sufferer. But as Mrs. Lea's color was
restored the flush faded from the
cheeks of her husband. His thought
was not of himself and when the
transfusion had continued for an hour
and a half, he importuned the sur
geons not to arrest the operation
while there was the possibility of a
doubt as to the outcome of Mrs. Lea's
case. But the surgeons realizing the
weakening effects of such a drain on
the Senator's system, eventually
staunched the flow. After the opera
tion Senator Lea fell to the floor in a
faint. He was immediately placed in
bed and tonight is making splendid
recovery of his strength.
Not the least favorable element in
his recovery is his buoyant mental at
titude in conseauence of Mrs. Lea's
improvement. With the assistance of
a friend he was able to walk to his
wife's bedside today.
New Orleans, June "19. As a result

AT WHITE HOUSE
i -
Silver Wedding Celebration
Attended by. at Least
5,000 Last Night.
HONOR PRESIDENT AND WIFE
Decorations Were Particularly Elabor
bte Congratulatory Messages
From Rules of the World
Many Features.
Washington, June 19. The silver
wedding celebration of the President
and Mrs. Taft, the second that has
been held in the White House, came
to an end tonight with the reception
on the White House lawn. Invitations
had been sent to close to 12,000 per
sons and it was estimated that at
least 5,000 people were present.
Never in the history of the Nation
probably has such a function been
held in Washington. - The diplomatic
corps; the United' States Supreme
Court; the' Senate and the House of
Representatives; the departments of
the government, the men who are high
in political affairs of the country, the
army, the navy and every walk of life
almost were represented.
The cool, clear night that made a re
ception in the open air possible pre:
vented the crush that the White
House for days has been afraid of and
made the reception not only brilliant
and unusual, but delightful in every
respect. The guests would have filled
the White House to overflowing, but
the White House grounds are ample
and there was no crush and no confu
sion. Possibly 15,000 people crowded
about the iron fence that surrounds
the grounds and looked longingly at
the electric display, the splashing
fountain and the gay throng within.
The cards said that the reception
would begin at 9 o'clock and promptly
on that hour to the strains of the wed
ding march the President and Mrs.
Taft came slowly down th staircase
of the White House, preceded by the
six Presidential aides and followed by
the cabinet. Out. through the oed
Lroom to the rear portico of the man
sion down the broad steps and out on
to the lawn the procession marched
while huidreds of guests already in
the grounds watched their progress.
They took their stand beneath two
trees, just about the center of . the
lawn, whose branches were joined by
an electric sign flashing "1886-1911."
The guests entered from the east
front, passed through the corridors be
neath the White House and out to
the lawn. Down the winding walk
they passed in two lines to where the
President, his face wreathed in smiles
was waiting to meet them all.
Above the walks the electrician had
touched the trees with magic and they
blazed in red and white and blue
bulbs. From the top of the treasury
a monster searchlight played upon a
new American flag above the summit
of the mansion. Over the rear portico
another flag in red, white and blue ln
condescent lamps; shimmered and
waved. The fountain in the center of
the grounds played upon by another
searchlight sprinkled forth all hues
of the rainbow. The Washington mon
ument, a thousand feet to the south,
brought into relief by the thousands
of lights, stood out sharply against the
sky, dark blue with here and there a
star striving successfully against the
lights of man.
The White House lawn clipped and
shaved to the very quick made a car
pet of soft dark green over which
walked lightly the gaily clap women,
the men in black or in the white of
the military service. Down near the
fountain the marine band In scarlet
coats played with vigor and in the
White House itself the Engineer band
vied with them.
, Every corner of the mansion had
its own particular light. On the ter
races that extend from the old man
sion eastward and westward the beau
ty of the White House conservatories
had. been poured. The, tall lamps that
stand along the borders of these ter
races had been shaded by deep red pa
per and they resembled nothing so
much as cluster poppies.
The reception was just as informal
as the President could make it. Those
who could, waited in line for hours to
shake hands, but many slipped out the
lines and sought the shaded walks,
the chairs waiting on the grass or,
wandered at will through the lower
floors of the mansion.
- The presents that numbered in the
hundreds and whose money value ran
high into the thousands attracted
many, while others turned to the East
room where polished floor echoed to
the tread of the dancers.
Preparation had , been made for 5,
000 guests and refreshment tables in
the State dining room came a near
groaning as a perfectly good table
can come. The President and the
members of his family with the cabi
net and the aides were served on the
east terrace.but guests found their re
freshments in the State dining rooms.
Mrs. Taft surprised even those fa
miliar with the improvement in health
that she has shown by remaining by
the President's side in the receiving
line all of the evening. .She wore a
gown of white satin, brocaded with
silver flowers, with a court-train. Miss
Helen Taft, who was near at hand,
wore a gown of pink satin with a tunic
of pink chiffon. - - ' -

WIDER SCOPE AFSUGAR PROBE
Two Committees Interrogated Witness
Yesterday New Facts About
Sudden Wealth and the Vast
Frauds.
Washington, June 19. This was
field day in the House inquiry into the
American Sugar Refining ( Company,
and other refineries, two committees
devoting hours to interrogating wit
nesses as to the formation and opera
tions of the big corporations. A num
ber of new facts. were brought out
bearing on the sudden creation of
wealth by combinations of manufac
turing concerns and more was learn
ed of the frauds practiced on the gov
ernment in sugar weighing at the
port of New York.
The special "sugar trust" Investi
gating committee had before it James
H. Post, president of the National Su
gar Refining Company, of New Jersey7,
whose testimony closed with a spirit
ed defense of the corporation activi
ties of the late H. O. Havemeyer, or
ganizer of the American- Company.
The House Committee on Expendi
tures In the Treasury Department,
questioned Oliver Spitzer, a former
dock superintendent for tle corpora
tion, with a view to discovering the
identity of the "men higher up" in
the perpetration of the frauds.
Mr. Post was subjected to a long
and gruelling examination of the Na
tional company. Representative Mad
ison, of the committee, complained
that whenever xthe committee had
"gotten down to something," witnes
ses frequently "threw it off onto Have
meyer." "His memory has been traduced by
men who would not have dared to
have done so had he been alive," said
Mr. Post, his eyes, flashing.
The defense was made after the
witness had told of the issuance to
Havemeyer through Post himself, of
110,000,000 of the common stock of
the National Sugar Refining Company
without any money consideration.
"There are some things I cannot ex
plain," declared Mr. Post. "But I have
such confidence in Mr. Havemeyer
that I know he would explain every
thing if he were here."
Representative Madison referred to
testimony given by Vice President At
kins, of the American Sugar .Refining
Company, and Lowell M. Palmer, for
mer director 6f that company. He'
said Mr. Palmer had testified that Mr.
Havemeyer had organized the beet
sugar refineries, and while hd (Pal
mer) was i on the directorate he did
not have anything to do with it.
"What idea- hav6 you of a strong,
able man. as Mr. Palmer is, who will
say that?" exclaimed Mr. Post, great
ly excited. "He is a coward."
Mr. Larkins, counsel to the witness
relieved the situation by objecting to
the line of investigation as beyond
the authority of the committee. Chair
man Hardwick disagreed, but the ex
amination was not pressed further.
As president of a $20,000,000 sugar
company for 11 years without ever
having received a penny of salary was
the light in which Mr. Post appeared
at the beginning of the afternoon ses
sion. Representative Raker, of California,
expressed surprise at the luck of the
National Sugar Refining Company in
having a president without a salary.
His questions led the witness to re
peat that H. O. Havemeyer, about
1902, gave him 1500,000 of the common
stock of the National "because I nev
er received salary as president."
Mr. Post also said that B. H. How
ell Son & Co., got a commission of
one-half of one per cent for handling
the business of the National.
This amounted to about $220,000 a
year. As one of three partners of B.
H. Howell Son & Co., Mr. Post said
he received $50,000 to $60,000 out of

from Representative Sulzer, Mr. Post
declared H. O. Havemeyer, although
controlling the American Sugar Re
fining Company "through his brains
and high ability," andalthough inter
ested in the National Sugar Refining
Company, never suppressed competi
tion between them.
'"There was never any concert in
the management of the two compa
nies," said Mr. Post. "Strange as it
may seem, that is true.
"Why wasn't there?" asked Mr. Sul
zer. "You'll have to ask the directors."
"You would have sold sugar much
cheaper If you had not watered your
stock?" Mr. Sulzer inquired.
Mr. Post objected to the use of the
word "watered, but to the question
said: .V
"No. Because; the economies prac
ticed by the cosOany have been more
than offset by .the dividend on the
stock." --.'.':-.
"Mr. Post, have you made any effort
to get back these $10,000,000 of
stock?" inquired Representative Sul
zer, referring again to the stock Have
meyer obtained by the organization of
the National Sugar Refining Company
of which Mr. Post is president.
"There is no reason why I ought,
rejoined Mr. Post. "
Mr. Parker asked the witness If. he
meant to say that these corporations

er Yesterday.
Washington, June 19. Republican

cme of the Republican leaders, wuo
champion the measure, the Republi
can opponents declared that If the bill
passed, many Republicans -would join
the Democrats In an attempt to lower
the duties on all manufactured pro
ducts. "When the cornerstone Is pulled out
or the system of protective tariff,"
said Senator Dixon; "when the farm
ers' products are thrown into a free
market while his purchases continue
to be protected, there are many good :
protectionists in the Republican ranks
here who will vote to have the duties
pulled down on iron and steel, chemi
cals, cotton and many other things."
Other Northwestern Republicans
signified their approval of the Montana
Senator's words that the passage of
the reciprocity bill, which it is admit
ted, will have a majority of the votes

Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut,
Massachusetts,- Maine, : - stated---that
have always reaped the greatest har
vest of .protection advocating this
measure that-proposes to put on the
free list every single article raised In
the Northwest. I want to deal with
this matter in its entirety. '.
"If Pennsylvania, Mississippi and
Massachusetts, have joined hands In
a new political propaganda, it is time
for the rest of the country to stride
cut on a new track."
"If you can get enough Senators on
that side with you," returnedvSenator
Bailey, of Texas, "we will take one of
these bills now coming over from the
House apd make a whole new tariff
law out of it."
Senator ailey declared there would
be no adjournment until the Senate
has acted upon the free list bill and
the woolen bill.
Reciprocity came -before the Senate
today with the Root amendment ef
fecting the importation of pulp wood
and paper from Canada as the matter
for Immediate, consideration. This
amendment was again laid aside be-,
cause of Senator Root's absence.

said he would not be ready) to discuss
the amenament until Wednesday.
Opponents of the bill including
Messrs. Bailey, Dixon, Cummins and
SUmth, of Michigan, then demanded
an explanation or speech from some
one in favor of the measure.
Senator Root made a brief explana
tion of the reason for offering his.
amendment which requires Canadian '
provinces to remove export restric
tions before pulp wood and paper are
admitted free.

speeches in favor of reciprocity and
his criticism of the Root amendment

to discuss them; that if the President
cculd criticise legislation and attempt
to influence the Senate in open speech
es, the Senate should feel free to dis
cuss and criticise the President
