PARLIAMENT PAYS
TRIBUTE IN HONOR
OF DEAD MONARCH
King George Is Welcomed by
Both Houses and Announces
His Fathers Death.

WASHINGTON, May 11.-President
Taft today appointed former President
Theodore Roosevelt special ambassador
of the United states to attend the
funera of King Edward. Colonel
Roosevelt accepted the commission in a
cable message.
LONDON, May 11.-Parliament met
this afternoon to pay a national tribute
to the memory Of King Edward n to
welcome his successor, King George.
A message from the new monarch. in
which he announced the. death of his
father and his own succession, was
read in both houses, which subsequently
adopted addresses of coincidence and
congratulations to the king.
The royal message follows: 4
1.-THE king knows that the House of
Commons shares In the profound and
deep sorrow which has befallen his
majesty by the death of his majesty's
father, the late king, and that the house
en%tertains a true sense of the loss
which his majesty and the nation has
sustained in this mournful event. !
king Edwards care for the welfare
of the people and his skilled n pru-
dent guidance Of affairs, his unweary-
ing devotion to public duty during an
illustrious reign, and his simple cour-
age in danger and pain will long be
held In honor by his subjects at nome
and beyond the seas"
The kin of the British royal family
are arriving here to attend the funerai.
Empress Dowager Marie of Russia, a
sister of Queen Mother Alexandra,
reached here today, accompanied by
Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch,
younger brother of Emperor Nicholas,
who will be the official representative Oh
the Russian government at the obse-
quies.
The empress dowager and the grand
duke were met at the railroad station
by King George and queen Mary VINO
drove with them to Buckingham Palace.
A news agency declares thai hlng
George has suddenly asserted nimseii
in a sensational n regarding tns
wording of the oath he Is TO AXE oe-
fore Parliament after his coronation.
and asks that a bill be lntroouceo
changing the form of oatn. instead
of reading Invocation or alteration OF

and he sacrifice of mass as they are
now used in the Church OF Rome are
superstitious and idolatrous,' 1t Is pro-
posed to substitute for superstitious
md idolatrous' the words are con-
trary to my belief"
1t is also proposed that the king, in
stead of stating that he makes the
declaration without any dispensation
already granted him by the pope OF
without any hope Of such dispense
ton" will make no, reference to the
pope. but be content with the simp,'
assertion hat the declaration is made
without any dispensation or hope o
dispensation.
Some doubt appears to exist regard
ing the governments intentions in this
respect, owing to the fact that law Off
GERS of the crown think that some sucf
provision is necessary to guard against
a. possible dispensation. It is antici'
pated that the governments proposals
will not satisfy either the Roman Cath
Ollie members or the extreme, Protest
ants, but the bill is unlikely to be made

TWO SOUGHT FOR
DOUBLE MURDER
IN DOCTORS HOME
Coroner Believes Desperate Pair
Battered in Victims Skulls
With Hatchets.

NEW YORK, May 1.-Two men
welded the weapons with which the
sensational double murder in DR.. Mott
ID. Cannon's house in Harlem was
committed, according to the theory
evolved today by Coroner James Il.
Winterbottom after careful examina-
ton of all the circumstances of the
tragedy.
Coroner Winterbottom declared his
belief not only that a pair of desperate
men We're concerned in the crime. but
that the skulls of the two victims,
William Benain, the young Hindu but
Ter in the doctors family, and Margaret
Meehner, the aged housekeeper, were
battered in with hatchets. OF the four
shots fired the coroner believes that
the one not accounted for by the empty
chambers of the doctors ancient re-
volver, found On the scene of the
double crime, was fired from a pistol
carried by one of the men.
More interesting still, n an alto
gether new development, is the evil
dence the coroner has found which
leads him to think hat entrance to
the house was not secured by the men
being admitted through the front door
when one of the fated pair came to
answer their ring, but by means of the
murderers climbing from the house roof
down to a sun porch over the rear Of
the second floor.
A little garden is constructed on the
roof of this projection just to the rear
of the doctors chamber, and 1t is be-
lieved the men worked their way into
the Doctors bedroom from this spot,
rified his bureau and got 5000 and his
revolver. descending then to do their
deadly work below.

flicted before her body entered the
water remarked Justice tTrenchard
to the grand jury. THE State will
show that she was last seen with Seylef
on the pier" The only witnesses called
before the jury, which found the in

PARKER MINES IN
DANGER Of GAZING
IN, SAYS EXPERT
Congressman Blames Zinc Com
pany for Condition in Suit
for Royalties.

That some Of the mining operations
conducted by the New Jersey Zinc
Company are dangerous, was testified
to by an expert today in the course of
the action brought against that cor
poration by Congressman Richard
Wayne Parker to enforce the terms of
a lease of mining rights in Sussex
county. owned by Mr.. Parker. and
which has beer before Vice-Chancel-
Tor Howell, in Chancery Chambers, for
six days.
Congressman Parker's claim Is that
he has lost thousands and thousands
of dollars" ON royalties because of the
method Of Weighing the ore from the
so-called Parker shaft" and for other
reasons, and today his brother, Chaun-
cey G. Parker, who is his counsel,
called James H. Rittenhouse, of Scran-
ton. Pa, a mining expert, to tell what
he found as the result of a survey of
the mines he had made in preparation
of the suit. 1t was in the course of
his examination that he said that he
found parts of the mines in a danger
Gus condition, as the result of the
operations going on. One of the allie
cations in the bill is tina the Parker
mine is In an improper condition, and
the expert was called to prove it.
After telling of his thirty eight years
of experience in mining matters, Mr..
Rittenhouse was asked:
Have you made an examination of
the Parker shaft?"
Yes. SIR he answered, II went
there last March and made a survey
with foul helpers. We went through
all the drifts and levels of the Parker
territory"
"When you proposed to make the
survey of that hole did you receive any
warnings; that is, were you advised
to keep out of there because it was
dangerous?"
Yes, sir
Richard v. ~Lindabury, of counsel for
the company, objected to this line OF
testimony on the ground that the hols
was dug by its predecessor to the title
and not by the company he represents.
He was overruled, however, and MT.
Parker asked:
Did you form any opinion as to why
1t was not a safe placer"
II did"
"Wha Is that opinion?"
The expert gave a long technically
expressed opinion, the gist of which
was that the pillars were too far aparr
and were being weakened by ore being
taken from them.
ANY danger of the roof coming
down." he was asked.
my experience has taught me-" the
witness answered, that where there
is not a normal width between pillars
1t makes 1t unsafe-unsafe for the men
working in the mines.'
1t was explained that no men were
working there at present. and it was
added that II for any reason there was
pressure upon the pillar on the south
side 1t was liable to be crushed and
fill up the travelling way.
1T is my opinion" the expert finally
said, that the roof will eventually
come down. as the ore is contlnually
coming off the pillars"
