GIVE SIS, oO0,o 600 TO SCHOOLS
Bill Carrying Big Appropriation for
University and State Normal
Passes the Senate.

MadiSon.-Fiye million dollars
was appropriated for the state uni
versity and normal schools for the
next two years by the senate, which
passed the educational appropriation
bill recommended by the finance COM
mlttee The university gets $3,700,-
600, the normal schools $1,300,0OO
There was a hot fight over the
question Of making a fixed appropria-
ton Or levying a tax for the support
of the states educational institu-
tons, but advocates of the tax were
victorious
Amendment after amendment was
offered but the only one adopted was
offered By Senator Bosshard. This
provides that the annual appropria-
ton of $15O,00C for the normal
schools shall run for four instead of
three years. The vote was II to IL.
The debate over substituting
fixed appropriation for a special mill
tax followed the introduction of an
amendment by Senator Whitehead,
striking out the provision of the bill
calling for tax of three-eighths of
mill for the university and substi-
tutlng a specific appropriation of ST.
$4,000 annually for two years, and
striking out the provision calling for
tax of one-sixth of a mill for the
normal schools and making a specific
appropriation of 100000 annually
for the same period The amend
ment was rejected, to 49,
Senator Teasdale introduced an
other amendment along the same
lines, fixing the appropriation for
the university at S1,000,0O0 year
and for the normal schools at $780,
600 in lieu of the mill tax. This also
was rejected by the same vote
Senator Bosshard next came for
ward with an amendment providing
that a special appropriation for the
normal schools be increased by APP
proprIating $4,000 annually for
four years instead of three years.
This was adopted by a vote of II to
IL.
This appropriation, which will be
the largest made at the present ses-
sion, will now be considered by the
assembly. 1t is believed that an
other effort will be made ghere to
lnaugurate fixed appropriations.

livered short prayer, and then, sup.
ported by the other clergy, placed the
crown upon the kings head At that
instant the trumpets sounded, the
congregation shouted Long live King
George and the peers and kings of
arms put on their coronets
The differentiation was a handsome
part Of the ceremonies. The king
was lifted up into his throne by the
archbishops, the bishops and certain
peers, and all the great officers and
those who bore the swords, the scep-
tiers and other regalia grouped them
selves about the steps of the throne.
Next the princes and peers did their
homage, led by the archbishop Of
Canterbury and the prince of Wales.
Each of these and the premier duke,
marquis, earl, viscount and baron
kissed the king upon the cheek
The amounting and browning of
Queen Mary was short and simple
ceremony. Following the example Of
Queen Alexandra, she was anointed
on the head only. She was invested
with the ring, was crowned by the
archbishop Of York and received the
scepter and the ivory rod with tho
dove.
Few Americans in the Abbey.
OF all the Americans who have
been attracted to London by the fes-
tivities of the coronation season, only
very few were admitted to the
Abbey. These included President
Taft's special ambassador, John Hays
Hammond, and Mrs. Hammond; Maj.
Gen. Greedy and Rear Admiral Vree-
land, representing the army and
navy, and the latter's secretary: AM
bassador Whitelaw Reid and Mrs.
Reid and the attaches and secretaries
of the embassy, Pierpont Morgan and
who married English peers.
One fact connected with the coro-
nation was the subject of some amused
comment. This was that King George,
who is quite the reverse of a giant
had selected four of the shortest
den canopy over him during the
amounting. They were the earl OF
Cadogan, Lord Roberts, Lord Elgin
and Lord Rosebery. These four peers
were the only ones arrayed in the
gorgeous robes of the order of the
garter
Miss Gye is perhaps the most inter
esting Of the maids of honor, in SO
far as she has had cosmopolitan ex
perience. Her late father was Brit

Gated in Paris. Consequently she

Milwaukee. - The great thirty
third festival of song of the North
American Saengerbund, which has
been held in Milwaukee during four
days, closed with picnic and kom-
mers in Pabst park. Preceding the
picnic was parade, enc of the most
spectacular held in Milwaukee in
many a day, in which 5000 singers
participated
At the business session of the
Ssengerbund the following officers
were elected:
President-Charles G. Schmidt,
Cincinnati, o.
First vice president-Wm Arens,
Chicago, Ill.
Second vice president-Peter Met

The next saengerfest will be held
in Louisville in 1914 This was the
city which made the greatest appeal
for the meeting, all through the Mil
waukee gathering Communications
from the mayor and the business
men of Louisville had been present
ed to the attention of the singers,
and hearty verbal invitation had
been extended
The last day of the great meeting
was one Of Notification. Immense
tents had been erected at Pabst
park, where the picnic was held, and
under them the 1000 singers gath
cred with their wives and sang and
made merry.
It is impossible at this time to
give more than estimated figures on
the financial result of the saenger-
fest, but the apparent deficit is about
$4,000. The total receipts were ap-
proximtely $4,000 and the expenses
100000.
The box Office receipts, that is for
the sale of tickets, which were $13,-
900, was expected to total $4,000.
A sale of that magnitude would have
let the fest out about even finan-
cially.
The falling off is accounted for by
lack of support in Milwaukee and in
the state. Both the state and it's
metropolis did not respond
No support to speak of came from
Wisconsin cities which did not have
societies entered in the fest, and
even in them the sale of seats was
very disappointing.
The secretary's report showed a
membership of $50 societies in the
bund. Since the last fest, three
years ago, the bund has lost one
society and gained eighteen This is
regarded as satisfactory growth.
There are now $500 singers in the
organization

CORONATION OF KING
IS BRILLIANT SPECTACLE
Solemn Ceremony Is Performed in Westminster Abbey
Presence of Distinguished Assemble e---Immense
Throng Sees Royal Procession from Bucking-
ham Palace.

London-George v. was crowned
King of Great Britain June % in West
minister Abbey, and the ceremony for
which the empire had been so long
preparing was performed with a bril-
lance never surpassed at any previous
coronation in the historic old abbey
The gorgeous spectacle was witnessed
by about 1000 distinguished men and
women, while massed in the streets
were hundreds of thousands who took
up the shout Of Long live King
George" when the cannon at the Tow
er of London told them that the crown
had been placed upon the brows Of
their sovereign.
Great Throngs In the Streets.
From the earliest hours of the morn
ing the population Of London and the
hundreds Of thousands of visitors had
been moving toward the royal route
from Buckingham Palace to Westmin-
ster Abbey. AS soon as the seats in
the numerous stands were filled, gates
were closed that kept out the rabble,
and then the throngs tried to crowd in
ia the streets adjoining the route
From pole to pole throughout the en-
tire distance gay colored bunting was
strung, and the whole city was stream
ing with flags
Along the Mall and all the way from
the palace 20 the abbey troops were
standing, company upon company,
British troops Of every shade of color,
living symbols Of the countries and
peoples over which the new king and
emperor reigns. On every side bands
were playing patriotic music, and the
din Of cheering was continuous and
overwhelming.
Procession Fro nntre Palace.
AS the hour for the coronation ap-
preached the waiting thousands first
saw the arrival of the gentlemen ap-
pointed to act as ushers during the
ceremony. These were led by the
earl marshal, the duke of Norfolk.
Then the nobility entitled to seats In
the Abbey began to come. Most of the
peers and peeresses rode in state
coaches that have been used by their
families for many years These car
riages, repainted and regilded were
drawn by four horses apiece Each
was accompanied by outriders and
footmen in gorgeous lveries stood on
the rail behind. Each peer as he
passed was greeted with cheers and
often with familiar greetings that set
the crowds off in roars of laughter, for
even the solemnity of the occasion
could not restrain the irreverent hui
humor of the cockneys.
Procession From the Palace.
Not all the nobility rode in coaches,
however, for the king had permitted
one violation of precedent and given
permission for the use of automobiles
by those who have discarded horses
This was done reluctantly, and there
were not many motors cars in the long
procession of vehicles.
The lord mayor and his suite. in
their gorgeous robes and regalia, were
the next to pass toward the Abbey.
