England's Queen Royalty welcon-
ed to London.
VAST THRONGS GREET HER MAJESTY
Fifty Thousand People Crowd Around
Buckingham Palace to Cheer,
While Streets Arc Filled
With Eager Multitude.

London, March S.-(By Associated
Press. )-The queens arrival in London
and the commencement of her visit to
the metropolis was marked by scenes
of enthusiasm unparalleled since the
jubilee celebration. The royal party's
departure from Windsor was marked
by more than usual interest. For
hours before the queen started for
London crowds gathered in the streets
which had been announced as her
route thru the metropolis and which
were decorated with flags. The side
streets leading to Buckingham palace
were packed ten, twenty and some
times hundred deep. But it was
around the palace itself that the chief
throng gathered. BY noon it was esti-
mated that $4,000 people had gathered
about the queens own residence, wait
ing for her arrival.
Shortly after noon the Duke and
Duchess of York drove into the court
yard and received an ovation. Cham
berlain, secretary of state for the col
onies, joined the distinguished throng
in the court yard unncticed. Later,
the Duke and Duchess of York appear
ed on the balcony in front of the pal
ace. Then from Constitution hill came
the cry "She is coming" which passed
from mouth to mouth. There was a
mighty cheer as patrol of police
went by and flash of steel as the life
guardsmensa and outriders trotted thru
the gates. Then all hats flew in the
air and the cheering was deafening as
the queens carriage drove into the
court yard, the queen bowing right
and left.

These contracts will this year be turn
ed over by the promoters to the fac
tory at Pekin, III.
The legislative committee Of the
Iowa Anti-Saloon league is making
hard fight for the establishment Of .
home for inebriates. A bill making
this provision has been drafted by the
committee, and offered in both branch
es OF the legislature; in the house by
Stratton of Montgomery and IN the
senate by kirkpatrick of Boone-Story
district. The measure provides that
the state board of control shall estab-
lish a home for inebriates in one OF
the state institutions, and that persons
may be committed to it as TO other
homes and hospitals. The anti-saloon
people have lobby at work on the
bills and expect to get them out of
committees with favorable reports, and
then secure their passage. They have
recently secured endorsements Of the
plan from Judges Kline and Robinson
and Hon. John Cownie, of the board
of control, Judge Given Of the supreme
bench, all the judges Of the Des Moines
district, and several district judges
from different parts of the state. Mr..
Cownie says there are enough incurable
drunkards in the state institutions at
present to start 1; home for inebriates.
Clerk Taft of Polk county says that III
one week he has rejected as many as
five or six applications for admission
to such an institution, simply because
he had no place to send them.
y
One of the house measures OF state
wide Importance to be considered at
an early date is the act to legalize the
petitions of consent under which the
saloons of Iowa were operating when
the supreme court rendered the "dry
process" decision, thereby closing the
liquor houses in forty-three counties.
The W. G. t. q. and anti-salocn fac
tions of the state We're terribly shock-
ed to think that member of tne leg
islature should even introduce such a
BILL but this element is still more ter
ribly shocked to find that it has a very
good chance of passing both houses,
thereby settling the much agitated and
| complicated liquor question. In the
house the measure has been favorably
reported by the committee on suppress
'AShA VI efad 10 va t-lS va =
| endar for an early consideration. The
senate bill on this issue is still in COM
mittee. While there seems to be pref
ty even division on she question OF
passing the legalizlng act, yet it is
thought 1T will get thru by small
| majority. Until the time the supreme
court decision closed nearly all the sa-
looms, there We're fifty counties in the
state which had no saloons. Tbs dl- dill
yides the senators and representatives
into two classes, Those in one class
represent districts where the major
llty favor saloons; those in the; other
class represent districts Where the ma 1a-
EJorlty is against saloons. The margin Ea
Will be very small which ever way it is
decided, but at present the indications
are favorable to the bills.
