Though the death of Edward VII al tered the official, plans for the recep tion of the ex-president 'of the United States, the kaiser gave him a brotn erly welcome. Shortly after his arrival here from Stockholm, Mr., Roosevelt, accom panied by his family, was whisked out to the royal estate at Potsdam.

Almost, the fii'Bt question the Ger- man amperor asked Mr. - Roosevelt .''' was Iff regard to bis health, partfeu-'-.' lariy . his . throat, " explaining - that alarming reports had been current in Berlin.-, Mr. Roosevelt replied that, though suffering from a cold and forbidden by the doctors to tax his throat, he felt comparatively well. . : He characterized the alarming stor . ies as "nonsense". The arrival of the Roosevelt party at the Stetllner station here was the v occasion of one of the most remark able demonstrations Berlin has ever . seen. The great barn-like structure was given over almost entirely to the ., Americans, who packed the .platform and waiting rooms. Outside a vast . throng of Germans awaited the first appearance of the man whose com i. Ing has aroused more interest In Ger many than the visit of any single in dividual in years.

Bishop Hoss took . the chair and presided at today's session. Judge C. C. Featherstone, of Laurens, S.

PREMIER GETS BACK Asquith Confers With King George King's Political Views Are Not Known Bat it is Believed Dint Both Parties Will Iti inaiii Passive Kw Awhile.' (By Cable to The Times.) London, Mayllp Wiiile the body of the late King. Edward Vll lay en cased in Its leaden coffin in the throne room ofBuckiiifihani Palace today. King George V took up the reins of government and held his first official coMsuKation with the premier of Great Britain. Prime Minister Asquith, who ar rived here froin jBpain late hist night, this; morning hjlUtened to Marlbor ough House, wltere lie was received without delay b the new king, prior to summoning, the culiiuel for: a spe cial meeting, , Politcal leaders, though' refraining from absolute statements have made It certain that . t for the next few months England's legislators will fol low, for the most part, routine. : Be sides' the political necessity, the one, demand now made by financial, inter ests Is that the two meat parties the Unionists and the Liberals work In harmony in tiding over the stress that .is inevitable after tho death of a monarch. The long fight over the 1909-bud-get, and the period of speculation marking' the months 'preceding, Ed ward's death, have left the money market in such a state, It is known that only careful political manage ment can avert financial trouble. If it is tinderstood that the pre mier today when conferring with the king, advocated a parliament of nor mal length, being continued beyond May 26, the date previously selected for adjournment. , The only business now contem plated, however, is the passing of the 1910 budget and other absolutely es sential legislatioj.:- . . The political events of the next few months will be governed largely by the attitude of King George, whose political standpoint has never been known to the general public!. ..'.From all that can be ascertained, it is be lleve'd that George favors the tones even to agretaer extent than did his father, and it is probable that he will throw every obstacle in the way of curtailng the veto powers of the lords, at least until that problem has been presented to a nation in a gen eral election. No sooner was the splendor of yesr terday's proclamation ceremonies past, it was learned today, than an egregious blunder... was 'discovered, which, it was declared, might neces sitate the-repetition . of the entire spectacle. This was the absence from the official printed proclamation, as read by the heralds of the words among the king's titles; "and of the British dominions beyond the seas." This term, formally proclaiming the ruler's title to jurisdiction over the colonies, was first used in tiie proclamation of the accession of Ed ward VII. Altiiougji the form of George's proclamation was supposed to have been identical with that of his father, the omission occurred not only in the document read to London, but in-.the' official copies used in the provincial cities. A high court offi cer today declared that there seemed little likelihood of avoiding a repe tition of the pageant and ceremony, if George were to reign legally, but that an investigation had been begun to ascertain if the heralds included Cue phrase verbally, in spite of its absence from the printed documents. The privy council was today noti fied of a meeting with the object of finally and officially.' selecting , the new titles of the royal family. It is still undecided whether Queen Alex andra will take the title of queen mother or oueen dowager. To the people she will probably remain Queen Alexandra till her death. .'- ..- The crown prince, It Is believed, will become the Prince of Wales without delay. ' ."' : All this, however. Is officially, in the hands of the earl marshal and the privy council. Bank Clerk a Suicide. (Ey Leased Wire to The Times.)
