KINGS CORONATION
Sh0pkeepers Disappointed Be- cause Americans Are
 so Few

London, June 8-Already a quarter of a million visitors are here for the coronation, but the shopkeepers alid hotel keepers are disappointed at the absence of the hoped-for influx of Americans. The police regulations for the control of the crowds on the days of the processions will be more strin- gent than ever before. Temporary gates are being erected in all thor oughfares through which the process sion will pass and these will be closed as soon as the route is comfortably lined with spectators. Probably this will be as early as or o'clock in the morning, after which the center of method of closing the streets is ex- pected to prove more efficient than the old system of employing cavalry to keep back the crowds.
 One of the chief events of today was the arrival of the Japanese depu- tation, including Prince and Princess Higashi Fushimi, the prince represent ing the Emperor the Japanese war heroes, Admiral Togo and Gen. Nogi. There was no official reception be- cause the deputation is not due of- ficially' until June 19. The prince and princess will spend the intervening on the coast of Sussex, while Admiral Toga and Nogi will remain in Lon- don. The two war veterans were cheered as they drove around Hyde Park this afternoon.
 Queen Mary today received at Buck ingham Palace the committee repre- senting the Marys of the Empire, who presented to her majesty their corona tion gift-a check for S6O,000.

Number Of Dead
 Put At 75 In Mexico Earthquake
Disaster Casts Gloom Over
 Madero Reception and Poorer Classes Regard it an Ill Omen
(Specal from United PreSs.)

Mexico City, June 8.-While the city authorities are hurriedly repair ing the damage caused by yesterdays s earthquake shocks, burying the dead and caring for the wounded, the gov ernment officials, by direction Of President De La Barra, are endeavor- ing to get into communication with the country south of the capital. 1t is feared that, when details are re- ceived, the magnitude of the disaster will be greatly increased.
 Reports made to the police, today, place the number of dead in the city at 75, of whom 40 were soldiers. Thls list is expected to be increased when the search of the demolished build ings in the poorer quarter of the city is completed Of the injured about 200 remain in the temporary hos pitals Many of these are children who were abandoned by their terri fled parents following the shocks ana who were caught and crushed in the debris of their homes.
 The Santa Maria quarter which suffered the most severely, was sur rounded. today, by a cOrdOn of mIlI- tary. Peon laborers are raging all badly damage structure and search ing the ruins of those already fallen.
 The work of repairing the street movements will be a StupendOuS task as the asphalt of the majority of the thoroughfares is buckled and swollen into ridges resembling a freshly ploughed field. All will have to be torn up and relaid.
 The disaster has thrown a gloom over the reception of Madero among the poorer classes who have regard ed the successful revolutionist as an idol. They fear that it is an omen of evil and every effort is being made by friends of the Presidential candi- date to counteract this belief.

In all of the above men, toned locations, electric lights have been recently installed.

OK Hill, Wests field avenue, Washington terrace and Washington court, Boston avenue and Huntington road, Frederick and Main streets, Deacon street and Harmony street.

 The electric light at Fairfield ave- nue and Burr Road is to be changed to the northeast corner of Orland St. and Fairfield avenue. Residents in the vicinity of Evergreen and River streets objecting to the location of the gas light at that corner the new To- cation was left to Alderman Fred Voos who secured the light for that location. The city clerk was ordered to instruct the postal authorities to remove the mail box from the lamp post at Broad street and Railroad avenue. Notifications have been sent to the American Street Lighting Co. the contractors. who will make the changes at once. Because of the con- tract now in operation the city does not pay for lights after discontinuance has been ordered. though the lights may be lighted for many days and sometimes weeks

WHEN THE BOYS MARCH BY. (Written for the Farmer, By Cora
 Hartman.)

A burst of music a flare of drums, See the conquering heroes come" Not the policemen in stately array Or gallant soldiers in uniforms gay Or the prancing horses all so fine. But the "proudest of warriors" your
 boy and mine, Forward, Marchi Now keep in line'' There comes my laddie with eyes of
 brown,
 Stepping so lightly he spurns the
 ground. "Oh! that's your Johnnie, with
 eyes of blue? Say. he surely is doing some march
 ing too, Huh brother Jimmie, he walks some
 "class." We are all so proud as we watch
 them pass. Then at night, so weary grown Our little soldier "quick-steps" home He whispers in our waiting ear Did I do nicely mother Dear?'' "When I saw you wait among the
 rest
 I tried to march my very best" When our boys are older, grown, And we, too, have journeyed home, They'll still see wistfu eyes Looking down from Paradise, They will walk so brave and straight For they'll know that mother waits.

 clinging and so warm, To know he thinks me strong enough
 to keep him safe from harm; To see his simple faith, in all that

 Because have this chap at home who thinks the world of me. I would not disappoint his trust for anything on earth,
 Nor let him know how little jes'

 Because have this chap at home who
 thinks the world of me.

SOLVING New SCIENTIFIC PROB

presented to the engineers of the
Panama Canal in determination of
the difference in density between
salt and fresh water in affecting the
flow at the barrier points, and asccr-
tanning the size and position of the
culvertS at the gates of the lower
locks, where the adjustment of differ

have to be adjusted. In cmptying
the lower lock, there comes time
the culverts eXerts unit pressure
into the culvert equal to the unit
pressure from the fresh water in the

When this occurs the water in the
locks is at Il higher elevation than the
water below, the difference in eleva-
ton depending on the relative density
of the water, and the location and size
of the outlet. This difference in the

\ MAGNIFICENT SHOWING To- BE
MADE. Representing ten western
States, the executive committee OF
tie Western Development League
met in Portland during last week
and mapped out plan that will be OF
great benefit to the whole West.
The organization was formed to at
tract people from the crowded East
to the vacant lands of the West To
convince people of that part of the
country that there are greater OPP
portunities here, Il special exhibit
train will be run through the East
next Winter carrying products of
the ten Western States. The train
will be accompanied by Il number of
prominent westerners and they plan
to call on the Governors of the States
visited and other leading men, inter
csting them in the campaign. At
least five cars of exhibits showing
the products of the West IN compre-
hensive fashion, will be taken along
This will be the biggest showing ever
attempted along this line The pro-
ject is of such magnitude and so free
from narrow boosting that it will
probably make big impression in the
East.
