KING EDWARD Of ENGLAND
THOUGHT TO Be DYING
Physicians Declare That His Condition
Is Critical and the King Himself Ex-
pressed Belief That End Had Come
All England Mourning for Monarch

announcement that the king had
been i'll for two days. The fact that
his illness had been concealed from
the public increased the alarm when
it became known. He is suffering
from acute bronchitis.
We'll. it is all over, but I think
have done my duty"
These words fell from the lips of
the king In waking interval late
this afternoon. His majesty's con-
dition is declared critical by attend
ing physicians. Gloom has settled
over the city and provinces follow
ing the issuance of the depressing
bulletin.
The prospect of the death or long
illness of the sovereign confronts the
country at the worst possible time in
years. From political and other
points of view such an outcome would
be particularly disastrous. The
greatest constitutional crisis of the
generation hangs over Great Britain.
King Edward is familiar with all fea-
lures of the situation, which would
be particularly trying to a successor
who, on the threshold of his reign
would be called upon to deal with
peers. Socially, the death of the
king would also be extremely unfor-
tunate, as this season is expected to
be the most brilliant of years, and
with the prospects of Roosevelt's visit
which all England has anticipated as
an unequalled event might be can
celled or at least made extremely
quiet.
The archbishop of Canterbury tel
egraphed all the bishops of England
and Wales this afternoon as follows:
Prayers by the church and the peo-
pie of England are desired on behalf
Of his majesty, King Edward, in his
great Illness"

MYSTIC YOGI known N WENATCHEE

ON and Kay are also the same per-
sons who fascinated the handsome
Ella CARRIER, a manicurist and reader
of Hindu philosophy, in the Hotel
Portland, until the yogis prevailed
upon her to sell her house furnish
ings and leave her mother and go
with them. Portlanders are now
wondering what became of pretty
Mrs. Mix and the handsome Miss
CARRIER.
The first introduction Portland had
to the yogis was when Mix met Chan
ming on April 81, 1909. and, after
accusing the slender and watery-eyed
young man of hypnotizing his wife,
left him with a black eye and a
bruised body. Mrs. Mix left her hus-
band, who was a director of the Sc
attic Commercial club and a wealthy
business man, without saying good
bye.

Bedless Visitors Walk the Streets.

Bedless visitors walk the streets
every night. The hotels are so
crowded that there is no way to care
for the overflow and as many as 20
strangers in a single night have been
obliged to wander through the de-
serted streets. Last Tuesday night a
man got up and left his bed to give
it to a woman and two small chill
dren. Crowds of transients are COM
ing here all the time, and there Is no
relief in sight until the new hotels
are opened.

London, May 6-Midnight.
King Edward died
at midnight.

London, May 6.-The King exper-
fenced choking spells which affect
his heart. Recent symptoms are Of
the gravest character. At $40 p.
M, it is reported among the palace
attendants but not confirmed that
the King is not expected to survive
more than two or three hours. Home
Secretary Churchill has been sum-
moned to the palace.
London, May 6.-An atmosphere
of great depression surrounds Buck
ingham palace today. The bulletin
describing the kings condition which
the physicians in attendance issued
shortly before noon, while vague,
caused extreme gloom throughout the
city. 1t was generally construed to
mean that the outlook Is not at all
favorable. The sudden transition
from yesterday morning, when the
king received politicians, to the pres
ent, when it is believed he is criti-
cally ill, has shocked the country.
For the moment business and politics
are at a standstill. The Prince of
Wales arrived at the palace at 10
o'clock this morning. In all there
are six physicians now in attendance
on the king.
The first intimation of aught
amiss was the failure of the king to
meet the queen, who returned from
the continent yesterday. The queen
hurried to the palace, and soon af-
terward the public learned by official

Make Your Own Change.

Help yourself to peanuts or pop
corn, put your money in the till, and
take out what change you want" is
the order at one of the thirst en-
poriums in this city. OF course, the

behind the counter, but there is a lit

on top of the popcorn cage that con-
tains plenty Of nickels and dimes. 1t

as a tribute to the honesty of the

County Treasurer C. A. Battles
paid out Of the public purse for war
rants during the month of April the
extraordinary sum of $117,040.04.

Will Start on
Nebraska Trip
College Boys Start Out to Meet Four
School and Freshies of State
University.

BELLEVUE, Neb., April 24.-The Belle
vue college base ball team will start upon
the annual state trip Monday morning.
Games will be played with four colleges
and the University Of Nebraska freshmen,
the trip lasting through the week. The
team will play Kearney Normal Monday.
From Kearney they will go to Crete and
take on the Doane Tigers Wednesday
they play Wesleyan and Thursday the uni
versity freshmen. The Normal school at
Peru comes on Friday and is the last game
of the trip. Cotner has dropped the league
schedule and will not play this year.
The team is In fine physical condition
and with the exception OF the pitching de-
partment is up to the Bellevue standard in
every respect. However the most en-
thuslastic of the fans shake their heads
when they look over the staff of pitchers.
Roach, Sweetland, Morter and Cady will
probably all be used in the box. Roach
has shown quite little ability in prac-
tice, but whether he can stand the strain
OF a good stiff nlne-inntng game Is an
other question. The other men have good
speed and curves, but their control is poor.

Nebraska Teams
Fate Rests with
Athletic Board
Decision Will Mean Either that Nine
Will Live or Be Disbanded for
Season.

LINCOLN, April H.-(speclal) )--The fate
of the Nebraska base ball team VIII be
decided tomorrow at a special meeting Of
the athletic board called to determine
whether the Cornhuskers shall try to pick
out nine OF eligible players or dsband the
ball organization for the present season.
The members OF the ball team will ask
the board of control to permit them to
make the eastern trip, which is scheduled
to begin next Friday. Ames and Minnesota
have hinted that they think the Nebraska
board should certify to the standing OF the
players for this trip, as they believe the
Cornhuskers are just as eligible as any set
Of college ball player In the west. The
management at Ames says Nebraska has
team that is just as eligible as any nine
that ever represented the Iowa agricultural
college.
Faculty members of the Nebraska board
have scruples about certifying to their
players because they know that majority
Of them played summer ball last year, and
that to sign statement saying they are
amateurs under the Missouri valley con-
ference rules would be bold lying. ct, these
Cornhuskers know 1t would be no worse
wrong than is committed by the athletic
boards at the other schools in the valley.
The Nebraska board has started a war
on the anti-summer ball rules, though, and
1t is not likely that the faculty members
Of the organization will consent to any act
that would make it look as though they
were receding from their aggressive posi-
tion. Athletic men at other schools have
said that the Nebraska board would not
be receding from its position II 1t permitted
the base ball team to make the eastern
trip, and then, in June, carried the fight
against the summer ball legislation into
the conference meeting at Des Moines.
Practically all the schools in the valley
have declared they are with Nebraska"
in the present fight and that they will
lend their aid to abolshing the obnoxious
summer ball rulings.
Some of the faculty members of the board
suggest that the base ball coach pick out
none men from among the students who
have not played summer ball and make
the eastern trip with them. Coach Carroll
says he would have a mighty hard time
finding nine men. in the school who play
ball who have not earned money with their
skill. The only men who have not played
summer ball would make a very poor or
ganiHation and 1t is very probable that
student sentiment would force every man
in school to withhold his support from any
team that should be picked except the
regular nine already selected Coach Car
roll would resign his positin rather than
each such bunch. A trip by such a
team would be one Of the greatest farces
ever presented by college ball team in
this western country.
