Trouble.

Washington, D. c., June 27.-The
famous Cunningham Alaskan coal land
claims through which it has been all
legged the Morgan-Guggenheim syndi.
cate had planned to extend their vast
interests in Alaska and to control one
of the most valuable coal fields in the
world, were today finally disallowed by
the department of the interior. Secre-
tary Of the Interior Walter Fisher, n
ing approved the departments decision
as handed down by Fred bennett, COM
missioner of the landoffice, the last
door is believed to have closed to the
Cunningham claimants.
Their attorneys have threatened ap-
peal to the United States supreme court
but such appeal can be based only on
some point Of law involved. and not or
the department.
The Cunningham claims have been in
the public eye constantly for more than
two years past. They brought about
the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation by
congress and the dismissal from the
public service of Chief Forester Clifford
Pinchot, Louis r. CLAWS, chief of the
field division in the landoffice and sew
eral minor officials. Both Pinchot and
CLAWS were dismissed for insubordina-
tion in their attacks On former Serre-
tary Ballinger whom they claimed was
favorably disposed toward the claims.
In announcing the decision Of the de-
partment, Fisher, who succeeded Bal
linger last March, declared that new
coal land laws are needed in Alaska
if that territory is to be developed
properly.
In the statement the secretary said:
"This is a final decision of the Gun
ningham claims so far as the depart
ment of the interior is concerned. Any
further proceedings will be merely for
NAL for the purpose Of perfecting the
record in the case.
The claimants think there are ques-
lions of law which they desire to pre-
sent to the courts. 1t is my under
standing that it is conceded that the
findings upon the facts by the depart
ment are conclusive.
st is the intention of the department
to proceed at once to a final determine
ton of all the remaining Alaskan coal
claims SO far as this can properly be
done denying those that should be de-
MED, and granting those that should be
granted as rapidly. as possible"

CORONATION OF KING
IS BRILLIANT SPECTACLE
Solemn Ceremony Is Performed in Westminster Abbey in
Presence of Distinguished Observation-Disclosures
Ihrong 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 canno 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 oon 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
to 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 to the abbey troops were
standing, company upon company,
British troops Of every shade of color,
living symbols of the countries and
peoples owe 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 mthe 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

drawn by four horses apiece. Each
was accompanied by outriders and
footmen in gorgeous liveries stood on
the rail behind. Each peer as he
passed was greeted. with cheers and
often with familiar greetings that set
the crowds of 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.

added much to the magnificence of the
parade. But the man who, next to
the king, received the loudest and
warmest applause was Lord Roberts,

ahectionate greetings almost made the
grizzled hero Of a hundred campaigns
blush.
Arrival at the Abbey.
Waiting outside the west door Of
Westminster Abbey were the archbish-

large number of bishops, and when

Tins of the worst holocaust Nantucket
has experienced for seventy years to-

and two young women. Miss Helen
Wilson, elder daughter of MI. and Mrs.

Miss Mildred De Haven, daughter of

young men, Thomas Kerr of New

dition with their bodies so badly
burned that their lives are despaired
of. The fire was caused by a match

l1vered a short prayer, and then, sup
ported by the other clergy, placed .>s>
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 e
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, v%iscount and baron
kissed the king upon the cheek.
The amounting and browning of
Queen Mary was a 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 the
dove.
