KING EDWARD SPEAKS,

LONDON, Feb. 16.-A greater crowd
than usual gathered at Westminster to-
day for the state opening of Parliament
by King Edward, who was accompanied
to the function by Queen Alexandra, the
Prince and Princess of Wales and 9th
er members of the royal family. A day
of bright sunshine and the fact that
this was the first public appearance of
the King and Queen since their return
from Berlin were largely responsible for
the outpouring of the people who lined
the route to Buckingham palace and
gave the sovereigns an enthusiastic
greeting as they passed in procession,
with an escort of the guards to the
House of Parliament.
King Edwards speech from the throne
contained no surprises, and as had been
anticipated the projected legislation
forecasted by his majesty is largely So
cial in character. The King opened with
a graceful allusion to his recent visit
in Berlin.
Il was much impressed and gratifed
at the warmth of the public reception
given to the Queen and myself by all
classes of the community he said. st
afforded me great pleasure to meet the
Emperor of Germany and the Empress
again, and | feel confident that the eS.
pressions of cordial welcome with which
we were greeted in Berlin will tend to
strengthen those amicable feelings be-
tween the two countries that are essen
tial to their mutual welfare and the
maintenance of peace"
Immediately after the usual references
to the continued friendliness of the for
eign relations of Great Britain, the King
spoke of the waterways and fisheries
agreements with America. Satisfactory
progress has been made" he said, ''in
the negotiations on outstanding questions
with the United States.

WHY Babies Hate Light

Light is one of the most stimulating
and attractive things in the world to
us: and the brighter the better. But to
a poor blinking tot of a baby it is as
dazzling and irritating as it is grateful
to us. He has neither pigment in his
tender skin nor hair on the top of his
pink little head to protect him against
the light-rays.-Success Magazine.

$4,000 is NEEDED
BY PARKS FOR YEAR
Board Has Meeting and Outlines
the Plans-Ohicers Are
Elected.

The park board Is considering some
extensive improvements for next year
In case the money for them is forth
coming. The members of the board
held a meeting Tuesday evening at
the Harper house and the finances
We're discussed at considerable length.
1t was the belief of the board that it
VIII require some $4,000 next year to
maintain the parks of the city and
the Seventh avenue boulevard, and
more than this will be necessary if the
board hopes to make the improvements
which 1t has planned. Among these
are the building of a cafe in Long
View park, the drilling of an addition
al we'll there, and some more plants
and flowers. Practically nothing has
oeen done at the East End park, and
II Is the hope of the board that they
can put considerable money into MAX
ing an attractive place out of it.
The 2-mill tax which is levied for
maintaining the parks of the city and
the appropriation which the city coun-
ell is expected to make will be about
enough to maintain the parks and to
make some improvements, but in case
tnere is any extensive improvements
made the city will have to make a
larger donation than is expected of it
at present.
AT the meeting Tuesday evening the
oncers for the year were selected as
follows: F. G. Denkmann, president;
~ B. McKown, secretary, and Otto
Huber, treasurer. c. F. GaetJer was
reappomted to act as superintendent
of the parks and the Seventh avenue
boulevard for another year.

SIR THOMAS ARGUMENT.
Upton Says II Is Dangerous to Sail a
Racing Yacht Across the Ocean.

Upton Says IL Is Dangerous to Sail
Racing Yacht Across the Ocean.
Sir Thomas Upton has come over
again to the United States to see
whether a race for the Americas cup
In 1911 cannot be arranged. Sir Thorn
as has already instructed William Fife
Of Scotland to draw up plans for rae
ing yacht and will place another order
with Alfred Milne for a second boat,
provided his challenge is favorably re-
ceived. During a recent visit Of ex-
Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston to Eng
land he expressed a willingness to
build his yacht on this side of the
ocean from designs of British yacht
builders. This suggestion is a radical
departure from precedents in connec-
ton with challengers for the Ameri-
cas- cup.
The deed of gift Of the Americas
cup to the New York Yacht club stipu
lates that a challenger for the Ameri
cas- cup must be made with a yacht
or vessel propelled by sails only and
constructed in the country to which
the challenging club belongs" This
clause, however, may be abrogated by
mutual agreement by another clause.
According to Sir Thomas, it is not
only impracticable, but also dangerous.
to send a racing yacht across the wa
ter and that the stand of the New
York Yacht club concerning a race for
the Americas cup is Inconsistent with
true sport and that, while he does not
ask any favors, he is anxious to have
such rules as will insure a fair contest
without either boat having any advan-
tRge. He is willing to build a boat to
race under the universal rule, which
is the rule that governs all yacht rae
ing here except for the Americas cup.

ACTION ALLEGES
FREEZING GAME
James Barclay, Stakeholder,
Seeks to Enjoin Officers of
Deere g. Mansur.
OUT OF RECENT DIVIDEND
Capital Increased from $1,000, 600 to
$2,5OO,OOO But He Did Not
Get ''in."

James Barclay of Moline has filed
bill N the Office OF the circuit clerk
In which he asks for an injunction 10
prevent the firm of Deere &, Mansur
from selling any stock and to declare
void such sales of stock as have been
made since the amount OF the capital
stock Of the concern has been doubled,
which was done recently.
The bill names William Butterworth,
George w. Crompton. Ralph B. Lourle
and j. w. Good. the officers of the com
pany, as defendants. 1t states that on
July Is last the plaintiff owned 800
shares of capital stock and that st
that time the capital stock was in
creased from $1,2OO,OOO to $780, 0O
All but 100000 of this increase was
made from the surplus which had &C
cumulated and was in the nature of
dividend stock.
Gets None OF Dividend stock.
None of the dividend stock was
given to Mr.. Barclay, who claims that
his $50 shares entitled him to that
much more, and when he offered 10
buy his share Of the additional $780,
600 worth Of stock his money was re-
fused. He placed on deposit in the
Rock island National bank the sum
of $4,000 with which to pay for his
share Of the additional stock, but it
has not been accepted, and he feels
that he has not been treated squarely
by the officers Of the company mas
much as he claims he has been told
that he is not entitled to any OF the
dividend stock
The bill asks for an injunction from
the circuit bench TO restrain the COM
pany from making any further sale of
stock and to declare such sales as al
ready have taken place as void. Muir
ply & Larson represent the plaintiff.
