ANXIETYABOUT KING EDWARD
British Ruler at Biarritz, and Is Ae-
tive In AL Pursuits.
Will Go TO Pau To-day or Tomorrow
to Watch Wilbur WriEht,s
AerOPlane Flights.

London, March 1o-With reference to
rumors that King Edwards state OF
health Is giving some anxiety, II may
be stated that the King, who is now at
Biarritz. accompanied by his physician.
Sir Thomas Reid, is in good health. TO
all appearances, and is active in all his
usual outdoor and indoor pursuits.
II is true. nevertheless. that his condi-
ton for several weeks past has been the
cause Of great anxiety 10 his medical
men and his intimate friends. The mel
ancholy truth has been known for some
time, even to the principal newspapers.
but not word on the subject has been
published IN England. and it has been
hoped that no public attention would be
called TO it as long as he was able 70
continue his ordinary manner Of life
His condition is somewhat complicated,
but IT is an affection Of the kidneys that
chiefly alarms the doctors. 1t may easily
happen that no actual breakdown viii
occur for some months
While the authorities are seeking In
every possible way 10 avoid alarm and
publication Of the Kings health. they
themselves issued an official intimation q
few days ago to the effect that It was
not satisfactory. 1t was set forth that
his majesty's visit TO Biarritz was not
holiday or pleasure trip. but was die
tated solely by health considerations.
The present uneasiness antedates the
time a few weeks ago. when the Prince
Of Wales began an active policy OF par
ticipating in social and public functions
The prince, owing to mis- love OF privacy
is far less known to the people than was
his father az the corresponding period Of
the latter's life. and there has been much
curiosity regarding the reasons for his
recent change OF policy.
Flat denials are already forthcoming
Of the alarmist reports about his ma
jesty. II Is announced from Biarritz to-
night that he spent two hours walking
along the coast this morning and watched
golfers on the links for some time In the
afternoon. He expects to 20 TO Pau to-
morrow or Friday TO witness Wilbur
Wrights serOplane trials
He seems to be In good spirits. and so
long as his present vitality continues ru-
mors Of a breakdown viii receive little
credence among his subjects. Neverthe-
less. II remains true that serious appre-
hension is entertained among those who
possess actual knowledge Of his condition.

The prosecuting attorney. in his open
ing. said the State expected 10 prove that
Janer had assaulted the child IN the
boarding and repeated the offense
in a disorderly house. Counsel for the
defense entered a plea OF not guilty, and
promised 70 prove that Janer had re-
mained in the room only e very short
time. and had slept IN another part OF
the house; that he did not see the child
from the time he placed her In Mrs
Dukes charge until he was arrested.

weeks OF the trial OF Col. d. B. Cooper.
Robin J. Cooper. and John D. Sharp,
who are charged with the murder OF Hon.
E. W Carmack. The number OF people
seeking admission 10 the courtroom was
much larger than on any preceding day,

courtroom when daylight dawned. eager
to secure admission
Judge Hart called for order at 10
O'Clock. The first speaker Of the day was
Gen. ]. B. Garner, OF Lawrenceburg. who
is associated with the counsel for the
State. He was followed by Gen. ". H
fense. who had not completed his argu-
ment when court adjourned until tO-mor-
row morning.

Gen Gamers speech occupied four
hours and that OF Gen. Washington two

the address Of Gen. Garner. Mrs. Car
mack. widow OF the ex-senator, tainted.
and after being resusitated. was taken
10 her carriage and conveyed to the home
OF a relative.
Gen Garner. after an analysis Of the
evidence. gave expression to the theory
that Mr.. Carmack had fired no shots:
that Col. Cooper was armed with two
pistols. and that the first two shots fred
were from his weapon or weapons; that
bullet from one Of his pistols struck his
son Robin in the shoulder after giancing
from one OF the telephone poles. while
the other passed through Robins coat

which many Of the worlds famous pic
lures have passed perhaps none was
odder than that OF 1.-THE Picture In

now adorns the residence Of Lord
Leigh in Warwlekshire. England. This
remarkable picture for many years ap.
peared to be merely painting Of dow.
ers. The floral study was, however.
finally pronounced by an astute art
dealer to be In reality a mask for an
other painting. With the permission
OF the owner he caused the painting Of
bowers gradually to be removed,
whereupOn there was discovered un.
