KING EDWARDS COLD A RUSE.
Scotland Yard Claims to Have Dis

Life.
London, June ia sensational story
is current in London tonight of the
discovery of plot to assassinate King
Edward. This story has created con-
siderable discussion in newspaper and
other circles, but it is lacking in any
tnlng 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 Males
" from public functions owing to the
discovery by Scotland Yard of plot
against his life. The principals in this
plot have not yet been arrested
At Scotland Yard tonight the ut
most reticence was maintained con-
cerning the rumor. 1t was notable,
however, that the chief inspectors who
usually return home at night were all
on duty there, and while they refused
70 see newspaper reporters until to-
morrow morning they declined either
10 deny or confirm the rumor.
