booths completed and their exhibits in
stalled and others are arriving daily. In
spite OF the delays incident 10 the ship

PLOT TO

UNEARTHED.
That the Reason Rather Than
Illness Why He Remained

London. June ia sensational story
is current in London today OF the discov-
cry OF plot TO assassinate King Edward
This story has created considerable dis
cussion In newspaper and other circles.
but IT is lacking in anything like official
confirmation.
According to the current report. King
Edwards sudden illness at Aldershot
was not due to a cold. but was merely an
excuse for withdrawing His Majesty from
public functions owing 10 the discovery
by Scotland Yard oi d plot against his
life. The principals In this plot have
not yet been arrested.
1t is cited In confirmation of this story
that King Edwards recovery, when he
was ensconced at Windsor castle was
as complete and speedy as his attack had
been sudden.
on the other hand, IL must be pointed
out that II His Majesty's illness was
merely diplomatic the officials certainly
took great deal OF trouble in keeping
up the fiction. Sir Francis Laking, ply
sician In ordinary to the king was sum
moned by telegraph TO Aldershot, his
prescriptions were hurriedly filed. and
everything about the kings apartments
indicated the genuine nature OF his ILL
ness. Furthermore, King Edwards jour
ney from Aldershot TO Windsor in his
motor car. and his subsequent drive In
Windsor park. do not seem TO indicate
any fear OF a violent attack upon his per-
son.
AT Scotland Yard today the utmost
reticence was maintained concerning
these rumors. IL was noticeable, how
ever. that the chief inspectors. who usu-
ally return home at night. were all on
duty there last night. and while they re-
fused to see newspaper reporters they de-
clined either TO deny or confirm the ru-
NOR.
