King Will Be Well Enough to Be
Crowned August Ninth.
ABLE TO WALK WITH CRUTCH
Diet Observation-Disclosures Officially An.
nounced in the Gazette--Festivities
Include a Great Luncheon, Followed
by Royal Procession.

London, July 30.-The latest and
that King Edwards doctors were not
mistaken in fixing Aug. as the date
upon which his majesty could be
crowned. The sinister rumors which
have pervaded all classes for the last
few days now appear to have lost that
semblanee of probability which made
even the members of cabinet nervous
lest another postponement might be
necessary. The apprehension that
King Edward would be unable to
stand the strain of the coronation Ger.
emony has been greatly lessened by
the announcement that his majesty is
now permitted to use his feet and.
with the aid OF stick, has done lit
tie walking. Another late telegram
from Cowes, Isle of Wight, saying that
nearly all restrictions upon the kings
diet have been withdrawn, has been
welcomed as evidence that the recent
ominous deductions were drawn with
out due allowance for the doctors ex-
IRENE cautiOusness. While the king
was testing his ability to walk, two
stalwart jackies stood at his side.
Those who drew differences from the
fact that the invitations to Westmin.
ster Abbey were not dated have had
their fears dissipated by the procla-
nation published in the Gazette last
night, fixing Aug. as the date for the
coronation, and is altogether more i'm
portant than anything which might or
might not have appeared upon the
cards of invitations.
According to the present arrange
ments, King Edward and Queen Alex
andra will leave Cowes either Aug. 6
of Aug. for Buckingham Palace and
will return to the royal yacht Aug. 13,
when the entire feet will pass before
King Edward and salute him, thus
making second naval review. After
his return to the yacht the king is eX-
pected to take an extended cruise to
the northward and subsequently TO
spend some weeks at Balmoral where
preparations for the arrival Of their
majesties have already been COM
menoed.

Hubelhorst had boarded with his

the premises, whereat he went to the

He held the muzzle SO close to the
woman's body that all the shot en-
tered her stomach in one spot.
When arrested Hubelhorst was told
that his victim was dead. He said he
was glad Of it; that she ought to have
been dead long ago.

Bold Trick Of School Director Candi.
date Gets Him the Job,

Owosso, Mich, July 30.-By virtue
of neatly executed coup, John H.
Pasco Is now school director of Owes
so district No. 4, and Alexander G.
Crane, his predecessor, has been forced
out of Office after holding the place
several years.
At a meeting held early in July,
Pasco was elected by two votes. Crane
was secretary Of the meeting and,
declaring the election illegal, refused
to give up the books. He called a
meeting for Monday night at the
schoolhouse and rallied his friends, ex-
pecting to win out. There were two
hours of wrangling before a vote was
taken. Just as the ballot box was
opened by the tellers, Pasco blew out
the light.
Deputy Sheriff Charles Owen at
once snatched the disputed books and
fed. A free-for-all fight ensued, sew.
eral windows were broken and parti-
sans Of both men badly marred up in
the fray. Pasco had secured a writ of
.replevin and the books have been de.
livered to him by Owen, according to
agreement. Crane and his followers
threaten more trouble.

MORE INVESTIGATION.
Anti.lmperialists Come Forth With
Sweeping Charges.

Lake George, N. Y, July 2s.-At
meeting of representative anti-imperi.
elists, held in New York last spring,
a committee was appointed to inYesti-
gate army conditions in the Philip
pines. That committee has since then
been prosecuting its inquiries. Presi-
dent Roosevelt's recent review or the
courtmartial of General jacob II.
Smith seemed to the committee to de-
mand some reply, and at a meeting
just held at Lake George an open let
ter to the president was adopted. Inc
letter was signed by Charles Francis
Adams, chairman; Carl Schurz, Ed
win Burritt Smith, Moorfeld Storey
and Herbert Welsh. In part it says:
1--WE wish most respectfully to call
your attention to certain conclusions
which we have in the course OF our
own inquiries found ourselves COM
PEELED to reach. Coming indirectly to
the point and speaking historically,
our Investigations have led us to con-
clude that the Decentralization OF the Of
fcers and soldiers Of our army in the
Philippines, including all branches OF
the service and all grades Of rank,
was far more general as well as pro.
nounced, than might be inferred from
your review of the courtmartial find
ings in the case Of General Smith.
I'VE find ourselves, though with
deep regret, compelled to take issue
with you ON one important point. In
your review Of July IA you say almost
universally the higher officers have Sd
borne themselves as to supply the nee
essary check over acts of an improper
character by their subordinates.' We,
on the contrary, have found ourselves
compelled to the belief that the acts
referred to were far more general-tn.
Generalization more allpervastive.
We hold ourselves ready to direct your
attention to concrete cases, the inves-
tigation of which would demonstrate
the following criminal acts, contrary
to all recognized rules and usages OF
war on the part of officers and soldiers
of the United States:
Il. Kidnapping and murder, under
circumstances Of aggravated brutal
ity.
go. Robbery.
"3. Torture, both Of men and WON.
en-, and rape of the latter.
"a. The infection of death on oeher
parties, on the strength of evidence
elected through torture"
