PEKING, June 1S-As the result of
the departure from Peking of the Aus
trian minister to China, Baron Czikann
Won Wahlborn, Edwin Ii. Conger, the
United States minister has become
doyen of the diplomatic corps here
The position of doyen is more impor-
tant in Peking than in other capitals
because in a number of questions the
diplomatic corps deals with the Chi
nese authorities as unit, Mr.. Con-
gers popularity with his colleagues
makes his succession to the post occu-
pied by the Austrian minister general
ly acceptable.

LONDON, June 1S.-At the annual
New Zealand banquet which was held
in London last night II. j. Seddon, the
prime minister of New Zealand, who is
one of the most interesting personali-
ties among the colonial premiers, gave
glowing description of the conditions
of the colony, which, he said, had
pushed social reform to the verge OF
what many outsiders considered to be
radical socialism. Time had demon
strated the sOundness of this economic
experiment, continued the premier,
with the result that today New Zea-
land had little crime and no poverty,
everybody had employment, and the
New Zealanders were happy, free
and enlightened people.

PLOT TO KILL KING.
A Sensational Story Circu-
lates In London.
RECENT ILLNESS WAS FElCNED.
Assassination Rumors Not Generally
Given Crcdencc, but an Unusual
WatchfuIness Is Maintained
at Scotland Yard.

LONDON, June 1S.-A sensational
story is current in London of the dis
covery of plot to assassinate King
Edward. This story has created CON
siderable discussion in newspaper and
other circles, but it is lacking in any
thing like official confirmation.
According to the current report,
King Edwards sudden illness at Alder
shot was not due TO Il cold, but was
merely an excuse for withdrawing his
majesty from public functions owing
to the discovery by Scotland Yard of
a plot against his life. The princi-
pals in this plot have not yet been ar.
rested.
II 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, it must be pointed
out that if his majesty's illness was
merely diplomatic the officials certainly
took a great deal of trouble in keep
ing up the fiction. Sir Francis Laking
physician in ordinary to the king, was
summoned by telegraph to Aldershot.
His prescriptions were hurriedly filled,
and everything about the kings apart.
ments indicated the genuine nature of
his illness. Furthermore. King Ed
wards journey from Aldershot to
Windsor in his motor car and his sub
sequent drive yesterday in Windsor
park do not seem to Indicate any fear
of a violent attack upon his person.
At Scotland Yard last night the ut
most retlcenCc was maintained con-
cerning these rumors. 1t was no.
ticeable, however, that the chief in
spectors, who usually return home al
night, were all on duty there, and
while they refused tc see newspaper
reporters until tomorrow morning they
declined either to deny or confirm the
rumor.

PREVENT DAMAGE FROM ROLL
.ss, ING WEEDS.

H. M. Taber of Jamestown suggests
to the Alert that. in view Of the dam
age in prospect from rolling weeds.
such as tumbling mustard, Russian
thistle and the like, townships through
the state be authorized by the next leg
islaturei to issue bonds to enclose their
limits with wire fences, which would
prevent the passage of these rolling
weeds either in or out. He says a
five wire fence with best cedar posts
could be built to enclose a township
for $4,000 or a little over $23 a quar-
ter section, which expense he thinks
could be paid in ten years and hardly
be noticed. This done, the township
could see that the weeds inside could
be destroyed, and the rolling weed
problem would be well. ON the way to
solution. He thinks the plan would
also be benefited to prevent stock from
sstraying.
