TO BE COSTLY FOR REID.
Six Weeks Rent of London House
Will Be $4,000.

London. March st now appears
certain that Whitelaw Reid, of the
American delegation at the coronation
ceremonies, will take Brook house. in
Park Lane, for his stay in London. 1t
Is the residence of Lord Tweedmouth.
and 1t is said Mr.. Reid will pay $4,000
for six weeks. Everybody is surprised
to think Lord Tweedmouth would care
to let his house for such a period. con-
sidering his important position in the
liberal party. and it was anticipated
that Lady Tweedmouth would give
several important parties during the
season. Brook house is one Of the finest
places in Park Lane, with !. splendid
view over Hyde Park.
Details of the coronation are gradu-
ally coming up for the royal decision,
and nearly all the essential points will
be decided before the departure OF the
King for Paris and Riviera. Efforts
have been made to shorten the service
at Westminster Abbey. If the ecclesi-
astical authorities were allowed to
have their way the service would occu-
py five or six hours, with an official
requirement that the spectators should
be In their places an hour or two in ad-
vance. The litany certainly will be
omitted and the musical portion of the
service probably will be curtailed.
Other changes are proposed, but
there is tendency to magnify the i'm
portance of every detail The abbey
service and the royal drive thru the
metropolis are the only fixtures. The
day for the naval review has not been
announced, nor that of the gala night
at Covent garden. nor the days func-
tions at the Buckingham palace. The
garden party at Hatfield may be given
the Saturday after the coronation ser.

LANDLORDS BAD BREAK.
Proprietor Of BeIrnond Hotel Boycotted
Because of Foolish Whim.

Special to Times Republican,.
Belmond, March S.-Because Land
lord Bircher, of Hotel Kern. refused
admittance into his hostelry to an
injured man, travelling men threaten
to boycott him.
Belmond circles are quite stirred up
over the matter Of the hotel mans ac-
tions, with whicln they are not at all
in sympathy. Last week a young man
from Oskaloosa, Winifred r. Crissy,
an Iowa Central brakeman, was ter
ribly injured here, having his right leg
torn to shreds under the wheels of ar.
engine tank. Railroad friends carried
him as soon as possible to the Kern
House, but We're met at the door, 1T ls
alleged, by Mr.. Bircher, who informed
them that they could not bring him in.
1t is said that Mr.. Bircher was pleaded
with by young, Crissy himself, who
was cold and weak from the loss OF
much blood to be allowed to be car
ried in. but was met with the reply
that he. Bircher. had just got rid of
one man who had had his arm torn off
In corn shredder and he didn't pro-
pose to make his hotel hospital as IT
was d nuisance 10 OlueI SuSSSS. NiiSA'
the men saw that they could not induce
the landlord to allow them to enter
with Crissy they took him to the opera
house, where they built fire and kept
him until the special car was secured
to take him to Oskaloosa.
The business, men here, when they
heard of Mr.. Birsher's action. were
very much incensed and at once took
up collection of s26.O6, which they
sent to Oskaloosa to buy flowers for
the young mar, who died the next day.
They also sent a letter to s. r. Crissy,
the young mans father, expressing
their sympathy and regret for the oc-
currence at the hotel, saying that they
wanted him to feel that the hotel mans
action did not represent the general
feeling in Belrnond.
Two travelling men. who were here
few days ago, sat up all night in the
office of another hotel, which was full,
rather than to go to the Kern House.

ENIOIN RATE CUTTING
Purpose of the Interstate Commits.
sion's Suit is to Prevent Further
cuttir If Rates by the Big Roads.

Washing n, March s.-chairman
Knapp. of the interstate commerce
commission. stated today that the pro-
ceedings to be instituted against the
railroad officials as sequel to their
recent admissions of w'la!esale rate
cutting. would be civil actions in equity
to en1oin carriers from further viola
tions of the law. The proceedings in
volve the principal railroads running
between Kansas City and Chicago. Ac-
tions against one or two of these. he
said, would suffice for settling the
question. The offenses admitted were
that they had been cutting under the
scheduled tariff on grains, dressed
meats and packing house products.

WILL NOT ATTEND CORONATION.
Miss Roosevelt Gives up Trip to Save
President From Embarrassment.

ffesioent from embarrassment.
Washington, March S.--Miss Alice
Roosevelt will not attend the corona
tion of King Edward VII. She viii;
leave Washington Sunday for visit
to Governor General Wood in Havana.
This visit Is to take the place of tho
trip to London as the geust Of White
law Reid and his wife.
1t is understood here that one par
ticular reason why Miss Roosevelt s
proposed visit has been abandoned is
that she received an invitation from
Emperor William to become his guest
in Berlin. and as this could not be
done without giving official signifi-
canoe to her presence In both England
and Germany, she decided to make
other plans for her vacation
The plans of Miss Roosevelt have
been made by herself She has been
annoyed by the criticism of her pro-
posed visit to London, and not desir-
ing to have it discussed as in any way
official she is prepared TO give it up.
The president had nothing to do with
the acceptance of the invitation from
Mr.. and Mrs Reid by his daughter and
he has not influenced her to cancel the
engagement. He has left her free in
the matter and she will exercise her
freedom by declining the invitation to
go to London, because she does not
desire to become a subject Of comment
both here and in Europe.
She prefers to go where she can be
free to exercise her rights as an Amer
lean girl without inviting criticism up
on herself or her father from those
who seem to think they have the right
to comment on her social pleasures
