'Squire Owens claims that the interest on this $4,000 note waa paid in advance, and that an additional f 100 Interest was paid to Mr. Wright t the time the note was executed. Afterwards.

Tbe venerable archbishop of Canterbury placed the crowns on their brads in tbe presence of a vast throng of richly dressed royalty and foreign envoys. , Tm stage manage ment was perfect, reflecting great credit on Lord Kitchener. The crowds were vaeti hut not as greai aa naa oeen expected, and out - sine or . tno magnificent coronation scene popular enthusiasm was notice amy lacking. Spontanlenty In the stands was entirely absent Foot rrtfflc along tbe route of the' procos !on as stopped at 9:U0. and the pa rade started at 9:55. Many people fainted in the cruBh on the streets. Tbe sky was overcast and occasional sprinkles tended to mar the brilliancy of the outside scene. Before dawn the people began swarming by hundreds of thousands Into the streets through which the royal procession was to pass, between Buckingham Palace and Westminister Abbey. , The foot and mounted police who shepherded them seemed number less, Lining tbe thoroughfares or marching in tbe procession were 60, 000 soldiers under tbe command of Field Marshal Viscount Kitchener. To some exten the tremendous military display was, Indeed, necessitated by the shortness of the route and the con sequent congestion of the crowd to an extent which, orderly as Londoners usually are, would have rendered the ordinary "thin red line" powerless , Immediately tbe Abbey doors were opened, hours before the actual cere mony, those -privileged persons pos- easlng tickets of admission began ta king their scats, and as tbe ancient edifice flllod, the eye was daisied by tbe sparkling of the women's Jewels and tbe brilliance of the uniforms worn.by the men, ''-".;': ;; ':; , Some 7.000 were admitted in all.

Peers amf peeresses were in' full robes of scarlet and ermine and car ried their coronets ready to put on the moment the crown 'was placed upon King George's head.

Tbe thrones were placed In the "theatre," or space In front of tbe al tar, at the Junction of the choir, tran- cepts and communion enclosure. The floor, which had been raked, was cov ered by the magnificent coronation carpet of blue and gold, emblaxoned will tbe royal arms snd the em blems of England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and the colonics. The Klpgs throne was elevated upon a dais and approached by five 'steps, while the Queen's placed alongside, was slight ly lower, with only two steps. Hetween tbe thrones and the slur was"St. Edward's chair,", the vener able piece of furniture In which every King of England has bctd crowned since the days of Edward the Confess or, Beneath It Is the legendary "Stone of Scone," upon which the Ancient kings of Scotland were crowned until Edward 1 captured It and brought It back to England with him.

Adverse reports on the farmers' free list bill and the Unld?rwood tariff bill were presented in the senate today by Senator Pentose, chairman of the finance committee. , This action openea tne tann fight anew and a battle Is on for the general revision of tho tariff downward. President Tafts backers are prepared to fight hard to save the Canadian reel pro". ty bill from being so tied up with amendments as to change its original purpose. The throwing of the wool revision ing of the democratic wool revision bill Into the senate yesterday drove tbt insurgent republicans of that body Into an cpen coalition wltli the democrats In a demand for a general revision of t'u? tariff, and brought about the threatened crisis in the finance committer's control of ihe tenate.

Of the affirmative votes cast for the Gore motion overthrowing tbe finance committee, 16 were republi cans. Senato Myers was the on 1 democrat voting with tbe republi cans against the motion. Notable stioeches on reciprocity were made in both branches of con gress j ester lay. Senstor Root, m nnunclng that ho favored the agree ment, advocated and explained hi amendment to the wood nulp in i pnper provision of the bill, around which amendment the reciprocity fight. has cen'ered and which amend ment President Taft opposes on the ground that It might Jeopardiro iV whole agreement. Republican Lead er Mann, In the house, attacked the Root amendment as a violation nf tho Canadian reciprocity agreement. RATS! TOO iNf IN Jl AITBOBITIES OF COHiTY AD tin ASSiOIED.
