the kings death at this time the most

Statesmen, ciergymen and fnan-
ciers, many OF them Americans who
had known the king personally, joined
with the representatives OF the va
rious British societies here and other
Englishmen in words of praise for
his great influence for good and in
words of sympathy for his bereaved
queen. Most OF the leading bankers
and Wall street men, while expressing
deep sorrow at the news of the kings
death, refused to express any opinion
as to what the effect of the kings
demise upon the market would be.
Ex-Ambassador Joseph H. Choate,
who was present at the kings corona

Extends His Travels.
In the summer of 1855 he extended
his travels beyond the borders of the
kingdom. visiting France with his sis
ter ana parents. The visit was a his
toric one it being the first since the
DAYS of Henry VI on which an Eng
lish sovereign had entered Paris.
In 1857 he went to Germany and spent
four months in study at Konigs winter
on the Rhine. In the fall of 1858 he
continued his travels on the continent,
visiting Germany and Italy. At Rome
he was received by Pope Pho Mono.
Spain and Portugal were next visited,
and in July he returned to England.
Before attempting further globe-trotting
the king concluded his fifth term at OK
ford. He finished his education at
Trinity college, Cambridge.
AS Prince of Wales he came
to the notice of the Ameri-
can people in 1850 and ere
ated a furore such as few other royal
visitors have aroused in the United
States. The visit was undertaken pri-
marily in the fulfllnent of a promise
made by the queen to the Canadians
at the time of the Crimean war, when
the loyal Canadians contributed a fully
equipped regiment. He received a ser
les of enthusiastic receptions in Can
ada, and on September 20, 1860, crossed
from Canadian territory to the United
States, making his last speech to the
Canadians at Hamilton. In the course
of this address the prince remarked:

queen cease this day. but in a private
capacity 1 am about to visit before ]

claims with us a common ancestry, and

GEORGE V THE NEW KING.
He Is the Second Son of King Edward
and Queen Alexandra.

George Frederick Ernest Albert,
Prince of Wales, who now becomes
king, and will be known as George v,
is the second son of King Edward and
Queen Alexandra and was born at
Marlborough house on June 8, 1865,
seventeen months after the birth of his
older brother, the late Duke of Clar-
ence. He and his brother entered the
navy together as cadets, and he spent
two years on the Britannia. Then he
started on a three years voyage oraund
the world, sailing on the Bacchante.
In 1892, when his brother died, he be-
came heir apparent and took his seat
in the house of lords as Duke of York.
announced to Princess Victoria May OF
Teck and they were married on July
s, 1898. Six children were born to
them: Edward Albert, Albert Fred
erick, Victoria Alexandra, Henry Wis
liam. George Edward and John
Charles.
The prince became Duke of Corn
wall when his father took the throne
and soon thereafter started on a tour
of the colonies. He opened the first
parliament of the commonwealth OF
Australia.
In celebration of his safe return
from the tour he was entertained by
the London corporation at Guild hall
December s. 1901, on which occasion
he delivered his we'll known advice to
England to wake up
In the fall of 1905 he went to India
and when he returned there was an
other celebration, On this occasion he
said that 1.-The task of governing India
will be made the easier if we on our
part infuse into it a wider element OF
sympathy
His Indian trip was generally re-
garded as not a success from polite
al viewpoint.
In 1908 he visited Canada to attend
the celebration at Quebec and that oc-
casion met Vice President Fairbanks
The prince is less democratic than
was his father and does not have such
an ardent love for sports. 1t has been
predicted therefore that after his &C
cession to the throne the court gaiety
which was always feature during
Edwards reign will be less marked.

peror of India, while of German rather
than of English blood, can trace his
ancestry back by one line to William
the Conqueror, and even to Horlf first
Duke of the Normans, who reigned from
911 to 927 A. D. His greatgrandfather
the Duke of Kent. was the third son
of George III and brother of the
vain and foppdsh George " and the
bluff and soldierly William ".
George V is the thirty-seventh in de-
scent from Alfred the Great, of burn
ed cakes memory, and thirty ninth from
Egbert, the first King of England
The thirty-nine generations from
Egbert to George V give, at 81 years
each, ITO years. This would go back
to 791 A: D. Egbert actually became
king in 802
The genealogy of George V recalls
all the splendors of the most famous
ancient royal house of Europe In
comparison, the other sovereigns are
of yesterday. The Hohenzollerns, 1t is
true, trace their lineage for one thous-
and years, but the family assumed
royal dignity only in recent times. The
Hapsburgs have sat on the throne OF
Austria for only six centuries. The
Romanoffs have ruled Russia for less

JURORS ALLOWED
MORE LIBERTY
U. S. Supreme Court Decides
That They May Separate
During Trial.

A mans constitutional rights are not
necessarily violated by jury which is
trying him on a charge of murder. being
allowed to separate and to read news
papers during the trial. II was so held
by the Supreme Court of the United
States. The Court also held similarly
in regard to the refusal Of judge to
send jury out of the courtroom during
arguments on the admission of evidence.
Furthermore, the Court laid down the
rule that the act of requiring the ac-
cused to put on coat alleged to have
been worn when the crime charged was
committed did not amount to requiring
the prisoner to testify against himself.
These points were made in the de-
cision Of the Court in refusing to inter-
fere with the sentence of life imprison-
ment imposed by the Federal Circuit
Court of Western Washington upon
James II. Holt on charge Of having
murdered Henry f. johnson in Fort
Worden Barracks, Washington.
In announcing the opinion of the
Court Justice Holmes said that the trial
judge had gone to the limit in the ex-
ercises Of his discretion during the trial,
but that he had committed no reversi-
BILE error.
mo doubt the more conservative
course" said Justice Holmes, ''is to
exclude the jury during the considera-
tion of the admissibility of confessions.
but there is force in the judges view
that if the juries are fit to play the
part assigned to them by our law they
will be able to do what Judge has to
do every time that he tries case on
the facts without them, and we cannot
say that he was wrong in thinking that
the men before him were competent for
their task
In regard to the jury separating dur
ing the trial. Justice Holmes said that
if the mere opportunity for prejudice
and corruption was to raise a presump-
tion that they exist it would be hard to
maintain jury trial under the conditions
Of the present day.
As to the coat incident, the Justice
made the remark that the principle un-
derlying this objection would forbid
jury even to look at a prisoner and
compare his features with a photograph
in proof.
