Committee to Investigate Danish
American Bribery Charges wIm
Hold Open Meetings.

WASHINGTON, March 2s.-The special
committee appointed by Speaker Henderson
to investigate allegations In connection with
the Danish West Indies purchase. held an
executive meeting today and determined to
begin the Investigation next Tuesday at 10
a.. m,
The committee unanimously decided that
the meetings would be open TO the public.
Chairman Dslzell was authorized to make
any arrangements necessary to secure the
presence OF witnesses. 1t was understood,
however. that several parties would appear
voluntarily without being summoned.
AS the charges showed that they had been
brought to Representative Richardson's at
tsntion by Niels Gron, it was considered de-
sirable that tie latter should appear, and
he probably will be heard on Tuesday.

LONDON, March 29.-CNew York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram.)-King Ed
ward has had great difbculty IN inducing
the archbishop OF Canterbury to shorten
and simplify the ritual Of coronation. In
the first place. the king wished the cere-
mony to occupy not more than forty-fve
minutes. But Most Rev. DR.. Temple, sup
ported by other ecclesiastical authorities,
has insisted on retaining several ancient
customs, so the ceremony will take ninety
minutes.
On one point the king is adamantine. He
absolutely refuses TO take communion. This
has caused the primate deep chagrin, as it
is likely to provoke unfavorable comment,
because Il is common report that the king
never has partaken OF the communion ac-
cording to the Anglican rite. The bishops
of Bath and Durham have insisted upon
their right to support the crown on the
kings head after coronation, an assistance
the king wanted TO dispense with.
After prolonged protest from the king. the
primate has decided that the king must
tubmit to being anointed on the breast, also
On the forehead and chin, with holy oils,
and is having a slit made in the coronation
robes to permit this to be done.
As Queen Alexandra positively refuses

Further trouble and delay have been
paused by the queens fancies in regard to
The color of her coronation robes and the
Vet of her crown. Thirty crowns Of the
Gothic pattern prescribed by the king we're
submitted to her. but she left for Denmark
without having picked one out.
The removal of the valuables from Marl-
borough house to Buckingham palace, where
the king and queen will go into residence
after Easter. is being carried out with ex-
traordinary precautions. They will hll
sixty large furniture vans. Each van will
be sealed before leaving Marlborough house
on its 4O0-yard journey TO the palace and
will be accompanied by the master OF the
kings household. Lord Farquhar. in whose
presence the seal will be broken at the
palace and the contents carried to the royal
apartments.
The king has issued a peremptory order
that all officials and servants employed in
royal residences shall be vaccinated, be-
cause a coachman of his cousin, Prince
Edward Of SAKE Weimar, contracted small
pox after refusing to be vaccinated.
simultaneously, an order was made that
everyone employed in or frequenting the
House OF Parliament should be re-vac-
sinated, except members. who are not sub

SCORES SOCIAL P0MP in NAVY
Representative smith of Michigan
Criticises This Aristoeraey
as an Evil.

WASHINGTON, March 2s.-The house de-
voted the greater part OF today to the
bill increasing the efficiency Of the revenue
cutter service, but did not complete its
consideration. The opening argument was
made by Mr. Sherman OF New York.
Speeches were made In favor Of the bill by
Messrs. Minor of Wisconsin and II. C.
Smith OF Michigan. and against It by Messrs.
Richardson of Alabama. Little Of Arkan-
sas Cochran OF Missouri and Mann of ILL
inois.
Immediately after the house met today
Major Pruden, the assistant secretary to
the president, appeared and transmitted
from the president the Miles correspond
ence called for by the Burleson resolution,
which was adopted several days ago.
The Chinese exclusion act was made a
special order after the disposal Of the
revenue cutter bill. The speaker then
laid before the house the military corrss-
pondenee. The members appeared greatly
interested, but only the letter OF trans
initial was read and there was considerable
disappointment.
The house then proceeded with the con-
sideration OF the senate bill to promote
the efficiency OF the revenue cutter service.
1t was agreed that there should be eight
hours general debate upon the bill Mr..
Sherman Of New York, who was in charge
Of the bill. explained that its purpose was
three-fold. namely to increase the rank
and pay Of the revenue cutter officers; to
regulate the status as to command where
revenue cutter and naval of1eers were
thrown together. and to provide for the
retirement Of revenue cutter ofnceu.
Mr.. Richardson OF Alabama opposed the
bill. Mr. Minor Of Wisconsin supported
the bill, as also did II. C. Smith OF Mich
igan. The latter declared that the navy
had snubbed and shamefully misused the
marine corps. The social aristocracy Of the
navy, he said, was one OF its worst evils.
Comparing the pertls OF the navy ana
marine corps. Mr. Smith said about the
safest place q person could occupy was
that Of a high bureau ofiicsr OF the navy.
Mr.. Little OF Arkansas and Mr. Cochran
of Missouri opposed anything leading to-

inois spoke IN opposition to the bill. with
out completing the measure the house at

ROCK SPRINGS. wyo.. March 2e.-(spe-
cial Telegram.)-A telephone message was
received from Big Piney in the upper
Green river country in Uinta and Sweet
water counties this afternoon stating that
a bloody battle had been fought near that
place between cattlemen and Bheepmen,
the trouble having grown out of q division
OF the range. The report said that two
sheepmen. brothers named Hill. had been
badly hurt and that It was feared other
participants in the fight had been wounded.
Before further details could be learned
the telephone line broke down and as Big
Piney is twenty-five miles fom the nearest
point OF communication there is no way OF
confirming the report or learning more
about the trouble until tomorrow.
Trouble has been brooding In the upper
Green river country for some time. Sew
eral years ago the cattlemen Of the region
drew a dead-line around a certain tract of
range, which is said to be the finest feed
ing ground in the Rocky mountains, and
issued warnings to sheepmen to stay away.
Local hockmssters obeyed the mandate. for
they knew that II they crossed the line their
sheep would be turned back or slaughtered.
But nomadic herds were frequently pushed
into the forbidden territory, with the re-
suit that hocks were driven out, some
sheep were slaughtered. herders were shot
at and wounded. and sheep wagons and
outfits were destroyed.
Old Feuds Revived.
Last spring John Butterfeld and a COM
panion herder were attacked by masked
men. Both we're wounded and one was
! crippled for life November Tom Ryan
and Chris Peterson, herders In the employ
! Of a Salt Lake City outfit. were shot at
and run out Of the country. their sheep
we're slaughtered and the camp outfit was
DESTROYED.
| AS feed is getting scarce and the ranges
are overcrowded, It is feared that the
sheepmen. driven to desperation, will tight

High OmcIaI In Denmark Positively

COPENHAGEN, March 2s.-In an inter-
view with a representative Of the Associated
Press on the subject of Congressman
Richardson's resolution for the appoint
ment of a committee to investigate a charge
made by Captain Christmas, in connection
with the sale OF the Danish West Indies,
high Danish official says:
Neither Christmas nor Gron were ever
given authority to negotiate Tor the sale
Of the West Indies. They never negotiated
with Washington and have in no way IN
fiuenced the negotiations. The negotiations
were conducted through Laurits 5. SVEN
son, the United States minister here, and
Constantine Brun, the Danish minister at
Washington. The Danish government Is
under no obligation to any private persons
commission is due or will be paid.
The alleged scandal is the result OF
quarrel between Christmas and Gron. The
latter claimed he effected the sale and
that, hence, he wanted a commission.
Christmas made similar claim, accom-
panied by confidential report TO tne
Danish government, containing statements
regarding bribery, etc, as recently pub
lished in Washington.
Gron Becomes Desperate.
Most OF the report was printed by the
Danish press some time ago. Gron, seeing
It was hopeless to expect a commission,
started for Washington with Christmas
report in his pocket, boasting to the anti
sale advocates here that he would be re-
venged by influencing congress 10 decline
