MEMORIAL FOR DEAD KING
Impressive Service Held In Garden
Room of Palace I'm Copen-
hagen.

COPENHAGEN, Feb. 4-There was an
impressive memorial service over the body
OF King Christian in the garden" room
of the palace tonight. All the members
of the royal family were present, but
otherwise the ceremony was strictly pri-
vate.
Early in the day a representative of the
Associated Press was permitted to visit
the garden" room. 1t is called garden
shoal' because the windows open on the
beautiful palace gardens
A massive silver crucihx stands on
white covered table, while palms and ferns
are arranged in the corners of the room
to complete the picture of impressive sim
pliclty. The entire absence OF black from
the garden" room is noteworthy. The
rear walls. gilded window frames and the
multi-colored flowers, among which the
kings favorite Magna Charta rose predom-
mates completely remove the gloom Of the
usual death chamber. The whole grouping
rather suggests the glorious crowning OF
an honored life.
This note was also struck by the players
and sermons in all the churches today. in
which King Christian was eulogized not
so much as a monarch. but as a splendid
pattern for every Christian.
ATHENS. Feb. 4.-King George left here
TODAY for Copenhasen to attend the fu-
neral ot King Christian.

HOTEL PROMOTERS STILL AT 1T

yet short several thousand dollars of the
sum required to insure erection of the

THE statement that all the money has
been raised for the new hotel is not cor
rect" says one member of the soliciting
committee, although / am sure it will be
raised within very short time. We have
been annoyed and obstructed by repeated
announcements that the work is all done.
Some have intimated that these publica-
tions are possibly due TO those interested
in the Her Grand hotel project, with a view
to stopping further subscriptions to our
proposed hotel. ] hardly think, however,
this is the explanation, as they are more
probably inspired by over-zeal on the part
of one newspaper to get ahead of another
in giving the news to the public. But
these obstacles will all be overcome, and
with final pull the money necessary to
make the hotel reality will be in sight"

BULL FIGHT FOR REEORNERS
Brilliant and Bloody spsOtsole in Honor Of
orocoan conference.
SEVEN HORSES ANU TWO BULLS KILLED
Delegates from the United states
and Great Britain Do Not
Attend the spec
tacle.

ALGECIRAS, Feb. 4-The brilliant
though bloody spectacle of a bull fight in
honor of the conference on Moroccan re-
forms was the event OF today. Crowds came
from all parts of Andalusia to the vast
stone amphitheater and more than 6,o00
persons saw the fight.
A box gaily decorated with the Spanish
colors accommodated the ambassadors and
officials OF many countries. Most of the
delegations to the conference were repre-
sented and many of the ENJOYS were ac-
companied by their wives and daughters.
The duke of Almodovar, the Spanish for
eign minister, who is president OF the con-
ference. accompanied by the duchess. was
the center Of group Of ambassadors. and
garbed Moors and throngs of Spanish
women in picturesque costumes lent a
touch of quaintness to the animated scene.
The American and British delegates did not
attend.
Three celebrated bull fighters furnished
tn" sport, and the bulls were from the
famous herd of Don Moreno Santa Maria
of Seville. The first animal brought into
the ring. huge. black Andalusian beast,
killed two horses before the matador.
L'agartijo skillfully drove his sword to the
hilt into the animal which fell dead.

bull also was dispatched. Another bull

staggered outside and died. The picadors
were often unhorsed, but none of them
was seriously hurt. The skill of the mata-
dors was shown as they piroutted before

to madness by the darts with their gay

! The foreigners. present witnessed the
! scene with mingled admiration at the
audacity of the matadors and horror at its

SPLIT AMONG UNIONISTS
Mr.. cha nmbcrInin VIII Probably Or
Ennixe an Independent Pro-
tection Party.


LONDON, Feb. 4.-That there Is a split
in the Unionist party is recognized as an
existing fact by the unionist newspapers
this morning. They say II is definitely
known that Mr.. Balfour and Mr.. Chamber
lain have agreed to disagree and that IL
is believed Mr.. Chamberlain will withdraw
from his adhesion to MIR. Balfour and or
ganize separate party on tariff reform.
This II is admitted by the Standard. the
Morning Post and other unionist news
papers, will be the only course left open to
Mr.. Chamberlain unless indeed Mr.. Balfour
decides to call a meeting of the party and
allow its members to Gecide the question of
leadership. Even then. the papers say, II
is not believed that MIR. Balfour OF Mr..
Chamberlain will recede. the former pre-
mier havingetold Mr.. chamberlain that he
would not accept his tariff reform policy.
The whole situation forms the political
sensation of the hour and nothing else is
discussed in the political clubs. It was
stated very emphaticaily yesterday that If
Mr.. Balfour would not agree to call a
meeting of the party. former Secretary of
State for Home Affairs Akers- Douglas
would be appointed leader ad interim until
Mr. Balfour is returned to parliament by
the city of London. There is still remote
chance of Walter Hume Long. former pres
ident of the local government board being
asked TO accept the leadership under a
compromise, but well informed persons say
positively that Mr.. Bslfour will refuse any
thing like compromise while Mr.. Cham
berlain insists on standing for protection.
1t is even intimated that the invitation
to stand for the scat for the city of Lon
don resigned in his favor by Alvan G. II.
Gibbs may be Withdrawn unless he goes over
TO Mr.. Chamberlain, but this is believed TO
be hardly likely.
The liberals will decide today whether
they will contest the seat for the city of
London and in view of the latest develop
ments there is likelihood of Mr. Balfour
having TO fight for IL.

Persistent rumors were circulated about

busy carrying the rumor and 1t was widely
spread. Anxious people called up the tele-
phone company at intervals throughout the
day and wanted to know the particulars.
Numerous inquiries came also to the news
paper Offices.
Until into the night The Bee was FREE
quently asked over telephone about the
rumtr So persistent had it ferreted
through the channels of gossip that some
excited inquirers actually seemed sur
prised, as all were relieved. to learn
there was no truth in the report.
The Associated Press has had no news
to the effect that anything has happened
to the president. Neither can it account
for the origin of the report.

HARTMAN REACHING OUT
story that His Associates Have Ac-
quired Large interests I'm
Illinois Central.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.--The Herald tomor-
row will say: 1T was learned i'm this city
yesterday that there are many indications
that the Illinois Central Railroad company
has been acquired by interests identified
with the Hartman party 1t has been
known for some time that the Illinois Cen
tral holdings in the hands of this party
have been figured as high as $4,000 shares
or a par value of .s16, ,000 co., According
to statements made by persons who are
In a position to inspect the transfer books
of the Illinois Central there is evidence
there that goes far toward confirming the
story of merger.
1t Is said that the Union Pacific some
time ago took over all the Illinois Central
stock owned by the Railroad Securities
company. New Jersey corporation. or
ganized by the Hartman interests for the
purpose of owning and holding Illinois Cen
tral shares. The records show that this
company had acquired at least $4,000 shares
of this stock and this, added to the stock
already in-the hands of the Union Pacific
would make that road at present a holder
OF at least 10000 shares a par value of

According to Wall street theory this
stock has been accumulated, but has not

and still stands in the names of indi-
viduals."
CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-The Record Herald to-
DAY says: 1t has been known in Chicago
for several months that E. II. Hartman
was planning to enlarge his holdings of
Illinois Central so as to, gain absolute con-
troll and thus to join 1t with the Union
Pacific system. The belief in New York
that the deal has been completed created
little surprise and several Illinois Central
officials said while they were not ac-
quainted with the latest details of the
merger, they had reasons to feel that Mr..
Hartman had become the dominating
factor in the company.
One of the most prominent OF these off,
! cials who Is a director and has been as
ISOLATED with the Illinois Central for many
years made the following statement:
For weeks, I may say months. It has
been understood in Wan street that Mr..
Hartman and the interests with which he
is allied have been gradually working to
/ secure control of the Illinois Central. 1t is
! true that he obtained large blocks of stock
| and that he organized the Railroad Sc
curities company to further his plans"
