ST.. Louis, Mo-, June 2O.-Geronimo
has acknowledged the superiority Of a
white medicine man" The contest
between them was exciting. quite an
interesting race. practically nip and

dollars ont of the chiefs old hat.
That was the last straw. Geronimo
beat mis- drum, used his choicest incan-

seventy six years would permit, but
not a penny could he produce in his
hat Try as he might, the old black
sombrero refused to spout cash SO
the hitherto unconquered chief of the
Sioux, premier warrior and magician,
sat down in disgust, expressing sub
mission by bowing his head and grunt-
ing "Huha. koolla"

The usual crowd was admiring the
rather frosty visage Of the great chief
Evidently he was in sour mood, and
he scowled hercely. One critical old
woman was dissatisfied with him.

declared. "and !, for one, don't be-

II eyes can speak, Geronimo was
thinking just such things OF his critic

PETER ACCEPTS
CROWN OF BLOOD
sERvIA's KING is CROWNED AMID
GREAT PoMP AND CEREMONY
WITHOUT ANY HOSTILE DEMON
sTRATioNs BY THE PoPULAcE.

Belgrade, Servia, September 21.-
Peter Karageorgevitch was crowned
king of Servia today. There were no
hostile demonstrations and no attempt
to carry out the numerous threats
against the new kings life. In the SOL
emn ritual of the Greek church and
in the elaborate state procession which
preceded and followed the coronation
the tragedy of Servia's previous ruler
found no echo. Amid the thunder of
the saluting guns from the royal pal
ace garrison King Alexander's murder
was at least outwardly forgotten.
Here and in every garrison town OF
Servia the dawn of day was marked by
salute of twenty-one guns and before the
sun was we'll up King Peter, on horse
back, rode from the palace. The brilliant
procession then started for the cathedral
through the troop-lined streets.
Behind the soldiers were packed dense
crowds who, in spite of the rainy wealth
er, stood patiently awaiting to see the
king. The royal heralds, cavalry and
life guards and carriages with the Mon
tenegren and Servian princesses, preced-
ed the monarch. Beside King Peter rode
his two sons. George and Alexander
The cathedral was reached shortly after
o'clock. There were representatives of
the foreign powers, the cabinet ministers
and others, who had already been wait
Ing for some time. As King Peter entered
the metropolitan consecrated him and
more artillery salutes were fired. The
king then took up his position under a
canopy. and the Metropolitan, assisted
by many bishops and other clergy. COM
menced the solemn service, the choir sing
ing THANK Thee. Ever Lord
After the prayer the premier and 9TH
er ministers handed the crown and re-
gala to King Feter. He Kissed the crown,
placed 1t on his head and robed himself
In the royal garments. An artillery salute
of lOl guns announced to the people of
Belgrade that King Peter had been
crowned.
1t was now nearly three hours before
the service was concluded and the rit-
ual of the church complied with. King
Peter afterwards signed the coronation
document which was witnessed by the
metropolitan, the premier the cabinet,
ministers and the other heads of state.
Wearing the crown on his head and
fully robed, the king left the cathedral,
remounted his horse and rode through
the crowded streets to the palace, where,
in the grand festal hall. he received the
congratulations of the diplomatic corps
and others, assembled the royal throne
and once more took the sceptre and orb
in his hands The ceremony OF rendering
homage was then performed

ARE TREATED WELL
CAPTAIN SMITH OF THE ARTlL-
LERY. RETURNS FROM HUNTS
Vl.LE-TALkS ABOUT PRO-
POSED TRANSFER OF BATTERY

Capt. Edward D. Smith. commanding
the Brandon Light artillery, returned
yesterday morning from Huntsville.
Captain Smith was a member of the board
of inquiry appointed to investigate the
conduct OF the Huntsville Rifles at the
time of the lynching of the negro Hor-
ace Naples.
All of the witnesses who appeared be-
fore the board of inquiry were examined
by Captain Smith. The report of the
board was prepared by him and 1t has
been forwarded to the governor. 1t is
understood that the chief executive will
probably make the document public to-
morrow.
Everything is now very quiet at
Huntsville" said Captain Smith last
night. "The appearance Of the soldiers
has had a splendid effect upon the COM
munity. Instead of jeering and hooting
at the national guardsmen the good peo-
pie of Huntsville looked upon the SOL
diers with the greatest of respect. We
were all treated very cordially there and
gill SUN bheAl OH lilo DO1S Will nave
nothing but praise for Huntsville"
Captain Smith complmented very high
ly Capt. Lucian C. Brown. who is in COM
mand of the provisional company of Bir-
mingham. Capt. Smith thinks that the
local militia will be on duty in Hunts
Vile several days yet.
When asked concerning the movement
now on fojt looking towards the trans
fer of the Brandon Light artillery to the
infantry service Captain Smith said:
This matter is entirely In the hands
of the members of the battery. Before
acting upon the proposition 1 am sure
that my men will carefully consider all
phases of the movement. and 1 have the
utmost confidence in them, whatever
they may decide. Further than fully ex-
planning conditions as they exist shall
have nothing to say"
Whether or not the Brandon artillery
Is transferred to the Second or any other
regiment of infantry, 1t is a certainty
that the command will be kept up to the
high standard it has always maintained.

ADAMS is NOMINATED.
Colorado Democrats Take Stand on
Eight-Hour Law.

Denver, Col. September 2.-Alva A.
Adams of Pueblo was for a third time
nominated for governor tonight by Col
orado democrats.
The convention then took recess I'M
til tomorrow morning, when the rest of
the ticket will be nominated. The plat
form adopted affirms allegiance to the
national platform adopted at st. Louis,
and to the nominees of that convention.
The republican state administration Is
accused of violating every safeguard
guaranteed to the individual by the bill
of rights. and the platform says:
1--WE declare the right of every man
to earn his living unrestricted, and I'M
trammeled.'
On the eight-hour law the platfrom
says:
THE demand for an eight-hour law
has been incorporated into our constitu-
ton. 1t Is therefore beyond discussion,
and the general assembly must comply
with the public manuate"
