At Least 100,000 Americans Are in the English Caprtai to Witness the Coronation—60,000 Sotdlen Along Route. A London dispatch says: The ar- riral of the king and queen at Buck- ingha.m palace really was the begin- uing of the great series of pageants which is to marl^ the coronation of George and Mary, which will culmi nate with the formal crowning at Westminster Abbey Thursday, in the presence of what will be perhapfe the most brilliant assemblage in the his tory of the country. The route of the royal progress from Buckinghain palace to West minster Abbey is literally one mass of stands and scaffolding. In the seven miles to be traversed there are not less than 1,400 stands, with a seat ing capacity of 750,000. As many more people will View the procession from the sidewalks and the windows along the route will accommodate a half-million more, so that fully 2,000,- 000 people will see their majesties £nd t!i(?ir entourage. 60,COO Soidlers Along Route. Tn addition to the whole London roiif'Q force, the route will be lined by GO,COO soldiers under the command cf Fioid Marshal Lord Kitchener. In the cathedral there will be 6,000 ■who will actually see the coronation cf the king and queen. Of these forty are members of the royal family, 250 foreign rulers and representatives of foreign states, 1,450 peers and peer esses, 670 members/of parliament, 300 members of the diplomatic corps, privy councillors, bishops and judges, COO ofRcial colonial representatives and 730 officers of the army and navy, king’s councillors and member^ of the royal household. London is jammed almost to * the limit, and t^iousands are pouring into the city every hour. It is estimated that there are not less than 100,000 Americans here, and this number is likely to be largely increased before the coronation. London shopkeepers are booking for something like $30,- 000,000 American dollars to be left here by these visitors. “TRUST BUSTING” COSTLY. ^ $845,140 is Paid to Special Attorneys in Two Years.

CENTRAL RAILROAD PROJECT V Lakes-To-The-6uif Line'Is Pro posed TO CGMTROL GULF TRAFFIC New York Central Lines Have Entered Into a Traffic Arrangement With the Louisville and Nashville Railway System. HOLDER FOR SPEAKER. With BurweM of Hancock Out of Race No Contest Probable in House. The retirement of William H. Bur- ^vell, of Hancock county, irom the race for the speakership of the Georgia house of representatives, leaves the field practically open to John N. Hold er. of Jackson county, former speaker, '^'ho will probably be elected unani- niously. However, one other name haff been seriously mentioned in connection with Ip7 ««ice—that of H. W. Hopkins, of “umas, but there has been no formal 5^'inoiiucement of his candidacy, and it bj- no means sure his name will be presented at all. Judge Holder’s friends declare that le has been pledged mote than enough _ otes to assure his election by a large circumstances. So likelihood seems that the organiza- oi?r effected with- * —siieakership, when SHE WORE HAREM SKIRT. Lover Objected and Deliberately Killed His f^iancee. A lover’s objection to his sweet heart wearing a harem skirt was re sponsible for the death of Mile. Vas- silli Monroi, a beautiful and wealthy girl in Bucharest. Her fiance, M. Ignai Yovanesco, had often expressed strong views on eccentric fashions, and was particularly bitter in de nouncing harem skirts. Out of mere waywardness, Mile. Monroi deter mined to get a harem skirt, and on the first day she wore it she met her lover. Without saying a word, Yovanesco took out a revolver and fired at his sweetheart, killing her at once by a shot in the head. When arrested, he stated that he did not regret his act and wished to be sentenced to death as quickly as possible. “I could never jnarry a woman who deliberately op poses my will,” he sai^ “and life with out her would have been quite impos sible.” PATERSON NAMED. Griffin Man for Prison Board. Judge Thomas E. Patterson, of Grif fin, Ga., will succeed General Clement A. Evans as a member of the Georgia prison commission when the latter re signs and takes the position of adju tant general. This is not political rumor, but the fact straight from the of^e of Gov ernor-elect Hoke Smith, who an nounced it Monday morning and re quested that it be published, to cause a stop to rumor and speculation as tx) who the appointee ..would be. Three charred volumes of the revo lutionary records of South Carolina which escaped the capitol fire -at Al bany,^ N. Y., were received at Colum bia, S. C., by the South Carolioa His torical commission. The records, which comprise three volumes of the minutes ofThe commission in charge of the na vy of South Carolina during the revo lution, were returned under a special act of the-New York legislature. The New York Central lines have len- tered into a traffic agreement with the Louiaville ailtt) ./v.railCQ&d. which practically gives the former a lakes-to-the-gulf line, according to an article in the Inter-OcJean, says a Chi cago dispatch. The article says : With the announcement made last night by ofltcials of the Chicago, In diana and Southern railroad that on July 18, that road would run its first train from Chicago into Evansville, Ind., the first step of what may prove to be a great railroad war was taken. With the bringing to a successful con summation the plans o^ the fotmer ,owner and builder of the^ road, John R. Walsh, the Chicago banker now in the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan., the hands of two of the great railroad powers, the Vanderbilts and the Harriman interests, were shown already engaged in a struggle to get control of the gulf traffic which will re sult from the opfening of the Panama canal. For, with the opening of the old Walsh railroad to the Ohio river by the Vanderbilt interests which control it through their New. York Central lines, a traffic agreement has been En tered into with the Louisville apd Nashville railroad which iprgtctically gives the New York Central line a Chi- cago-to-tl^e-gulf line and which brings the first actual competition the Harri man Great Lakes-to-the-Gulf line, the Illinois Central, li^is ever experienced.” gia, volea**ai^inst”\ne original re'solu- tion and later voted against it when the Bristow amendment had been tack ed onto it. Eight of the 24 negative votes were cast by Democrats and the balance by Republicans. The resolution will have to go back to' the house for concurrence in the senate amendment, and must then be ratified by three-fourths of the states before it becomes effective as a part of the constitution.' ( VOTE ON RECIPROCITY. NEGRO LYNCHED BY MOB. The Victim Was Accused of Attempt to Kill Two White Men. William Bradford a negro, accused of an attempt to kill J. F. and J. A. May, farmers, was hanged by a mob near the town of Chunky, Miss., ac cording to advices which reached Meridian. Bradford was en route to jail, in the custody 'of several officers, when the lynching party, composed of about fifty men, made its appearance and, after overpowering the guard, put tjie negro to death. FAVOITDIRECT ELECTIONS. Borah Resolution Passes Senate by Vote of 64 to 24. A Washington, D. C., dispatch says: By a vote of 64 to 24, the senate pass ed the Borah resolution proposing a change in the Federal constitution so as to provide for a direct election of United States senators. All tJie South ern Democrats, with the exception of Senator Clarke, of '.Arkansas, voted against the adoption of the Bristow amendment, which is almost identical with the Sutherland amendment intro duced last year, and which proposed to lodge in congress the power, to con trol the time, places and manner of electing senators. The Bristow, amendment was finally adopted, however. Following a dead lock, when the vote stood 44 and 44, Vice-President Sherman cast ^s vote for the amendment. SenatQts Bacon and Terrell, of Gegr- Penrose Predicts That Bill Will Be Passed Without Further Change. A Washington dispatch says: Chair man Penrose, of the senate finance committee, in conference with Presi dent Taft, Tuesday confirmed the re port that 60 senators are expected to vote for Canadian gegi|j^O(^Y _and jje- dicted that within ^two weeks"*a date for a vote would be agreed upon. He declared the bill would be passed with out amendment. “The probabilities are that the wool bill will reach the senate in a few days,” said Senator Penrose, “and the finance committee will be called to gether for the purpose of considering the wool bill and free list bill. The tariff board has been hard at work in vestigating the wool schedule and will be ready to report next December, so it is not reasonable to expect that the Republican majority in the senate will take up tl’e wool bill until the report is received. “The free list bill opens up a wide range of tariff discussion and the finance committee is in receipt of nu merous requests fr6m all over the country, asking for hearings. As no hearings on the bill were given by the house committee, it is only reasonable that opportunity should be permitted by the senate.” WILL OPEN TIMBER LAND. Ljne .Will Extend Through Beautiful Section of the Alleghany Mountains. One of the richest, as well as the most beautiful sections in the entire south, will be opened up by the Elkin and Allegheny railroad, which will build a line through the mountains at an early date. At present 12 miles of the road is graded, from Elkin, N. C., t othe foot of the mountains, and it is proposed to extend the road beyond the Blue Ridge mountains, through Allegheny and Ashe counties, N. C., and on into Virginia or Tennessee and connect with some road, thus giving a through line from north to scmth. This line will traverse a section rich in mineral and timber wealth—a sec tion hertofore almost isolated because of lack of railways. Some of the finest stretches of virgin,timber lands to be found i nthe United States will be traversed and development on a gigan tic scale will follow the construction of this line. John A. Mills, president of the Ra leigh and Southport Railroad company, and I associates have completed ar rangements whereby,they will finance the Elkin and Allegheny road, and ac tive work will be pushed on a large sc^e. The" North German-Lloyd liner Ber lin, which reached New York from Mediterranean ports, reported at quarantine that a steerage passenger was taken ill with cholera four days after leaving Naples and died 30 hours later. This is the first cholera case reported dn an incoming stean^hip for many months. Because he had no confidence in banking institutions, Myer Daniels, of Hoosick Falla^ N.
