empire FESTIVAL
TO Be POSTPONED
Death of King Edward Has Made it
Necessary to Delay the Great Pa
qeant Indefinitely.
fBv Union Associated Press.)

London, May 23.-Owing to the
death of King Edward, the Festival of
Empire, which was to begin today
with the first performance of the pa
geant of London, has been Indefinitely
postponed The people of Great Brit
ain are now in no mood for the mag
nificent gala spectacle, which was
promised them. However, it is prac-
tically certain that the festival will be
held, and the additional time allowed
for preparation will add to its grand
eur and impr ssiveness.
The pageant of London which forms
its central feature, will be represented
by no fewer than $4,000 performers,
under the direction of the pageant
master, Frank Lascelles. The grounds
on which the story of old London will
be held are 50 acres in extent. A strik-
ing feature of the great pageant in
London will be the magnificent grand
stand, which has been designed by Sir
Aston Webb, R. A, on the lines of the
old Greek amphitheatre. 1t will be semi
circular in design, and the back port
will be covered with purple sailcloth
while it faces one of the most beauti
full stretches of scenery around Lon
don. The royal box, with its dignified
marble pillars, will have a covering Of
golden tapestry. The duke of Nor
folk is to be chairman of the recep
tion committee, and the earl of Ply
mouth, the chairman of the council.
The moving and central principle o.
the festival is to re-create London o.
the past and to show its growth as ths
center of the vast empire which /
dominates. Scenes of British histor,
connected with London from pre- his
toric times to a final tableau of i'm
perial unity will be the most striking
. feature.

EARLIER DATE NOT
THOUGHT ADVISABLE
John 6arksdaIe Selected to Take Place
of J. M. carIey-Election Will Be
Held only Few Days Earlier Than
Usual.

The City Democratic Executive
Committee met at the city hall on
Saturday night at z: 80 for the purpose
of fixing the dates for the municipal
primary elections.
The committee was called to order
by Chairman R. D. Batson, and the
roll call showed the following men,
bers present: R. D. Batson, chair
man; j. A. Beaumont, secretary; DR..
P. l.. Carter, w. L. Pack, r. F. Kenne-
dy, F. F. Phillips. John Barksdale
was elected to serve on the committee
in the place of Mr.. John Carley, re-
signed. The oath was administered
to those present and the committee
proceeded to business.
In discussing the advisability of fix
ing an earlier date for the primaries,
it appeared to be the sentiment of the
committee to consult the wishes of
the candidates in this connection and
to fix the dates for a time which would
be agreeable to all.
Messrs. Rich, Hardy, Mccullough
and Champenois were the only candi-
dates present at the meeting, but ma
jority of all the candidates had pre-
viously requested different members
of the committee to fix the dates at
an earlier time than usual.
1t was suggested by some that July
would be good time to hold the first
primary, but it developed that the mill
tary company, of which Secretary
Beaumont is captain, would leave for
Chickamauga on that date and would
remain away from the city about two
weeks, 1t was thought best to hold the
election after they return, inasmuch
as forty or fifty members of the COM
pany are qualified electors and would
naturally desire to vote
Several dates were suggested, but
after an exhaustive discussion July 26
was agreed upon, when the first prima-
ry will be held the second primary
will be held seven days later, as pro-
vided by law.
While some Of the candidates are a
little disappolnted that the election
was not ordered for an earlier date,
they know that the committee acted
according to what they believed to be
to the best Interests of all concerned,
and are therefore reconciled to the
situation. This will give them lit
tie more thar sixty days in which to
cauvass, and will also afford prospect.
iye candidates an opportunity to
feeP' the situation and decide upon
their course.

Big SENSATION

(By Associated PreSS.)

New York May 23.-The biggest
sensation of the trials of the Ameri-

es was created this morning by the
announcement that President Taft
has pardoned oliver Splitter, superin-
tendent of the Williamsburg docks Of
the company. Splitter was convicted
several months ago of underweighing

Londoners of the important part the
city has played in the making of the
empire. The second scene in the pa
geant deals with the foundations of
the city, when London was held by
the Romans. Two phases will be pre-
sented: The earlier one when the Ro-
mans were heathen-shown in the
pageant by the sacrifice to Diana
and London in the later Roman age,
when Christianity had been intro
duced, and when we get the first real
evidence of the strategic Importance
of London. The scene will depict the
struggle between the invading army
of the rightful emperor Constantius,
and the usurping emperor, Alectus.
The latter chose as his basis of op-
eration both sides of the Thames, at
London, hoping to be able to get easily
from one side of the river to the other
by the bridge. He was, however, ta-
ken by surprise, defeated, and slain
Probably it was after this that the Ro-
mans realized how wise it would be to
make London strongly fortified
place, extending the area from the lit.
tie fort that had stood on the banks
of the river, to the town surrounded
by wall.

Charge to the Grand Jury.

Gentlemen of the Grand Jury
ut becomes my duty to charge you
concerning your duties and to expound
the law as | deem proper. One of the
most valuable branches of our law is
that which relates to juries, whose
antiquity reaches back beyond record
or history. Our ancestors were too
prudent to trust great concerns like
liberty and property to those who
might hold office for a long tenure,
lest they should become the victim of
evil influence. Our magnificent jury
system, considering the fairness and
impartiality demanded of them, causes
have provided better and safer plan
for determining the truth of facts,
consistent with the liberties of a free
people.
"The officers Of your county have
said by their acts that you are men
possessed of good intelligence, fair
character and sound judgment This
manifestation of confidence in you
should cause you to be more Jealous
in the performance of your duties.
"The oath you take to present no
man through malice, hatred or ILL
will, nor to leave any man unpresent-
ed through fear, favor or affection, is
one over which you should ponder
well. l know of nothing more cow
ardly than to convert the grand jury
room into an institution of persecu-
ton, prompted by malice or hatred.
"You, no doubt, will come in con-
tact with those who are in sympathy
with crime. and they will exert every
effort to prevent indictments. l warn
you against them. You will probably
be approached by friends of persons
being Investigated in your room, but
you must keep the secrets of the
grand jury inviolate, as your labors
will be in vain, if the criminals know
what has occurred in the grand jury
room
81 caution you not to talk to anyone
nor allow them to talk to you about
what you are doing in the grand jury
room. 1t is a crime to give away the
secrets of the grand jury, and l hope
| you will not do so,
''It is upon the enforcement of the
law that our government and society
depends for its existence.

people want them to be, and can be
no better enforced. The sprPdominan'

They actually had to stagecoaCh it for
nine long miles. The women of the
