LEAFS SACRIFICE IN
W|FE'S BEHALF TO
PROVE SUCCESSF FUL
Both Senator and Helpmeet
Are Now on the Road
to Recovery.

Reports from those in attendance upon
Senator Luke Lea and Mrs. Lea at
Georgetown University Hospital are to
the effect that the condition of the pa
tients is most favorable this afternoon.
Recovery is expected in both cases be-
cause of the strength given to Mrs.
Lea through the TRANSMISSION of blood
from the Senator's veins to those Of his
wife.
Mrs. Lea is conscious today, and, al
though still very weak. her condition
continues to improve. The Senator is
rapidly regaining his strength and was
about the hospital for time this morn
ing. He had an encouraging visit with
his wife, and they are both hopeful OF
her speedy recovery. The Senator will
be able to leave the hospital within a
few days.
For hours last night. however. It
looked to attending physicians at the
hospital as though Mrs. Lea must die
in spite of the blood TRANSMISSION.
Senator Lea does not know how near
death his wife was last night. Colored
reports from her sick room were given
him during the night but by this morn
ing these squared with the facts
The operation for TRANSMISSION of blood
has interested Washington nightly. Of
fetal and society circles have really
been stirred by the recital of the Ten
nesseean's- heroism, and many prayers
are being offered that Mrs. Lea will
speedily profit by her husbands sacri-
fice.
Inquiries at the hospital as to her
condition, and as to Senator Lea's, are
almost unprecedently numerous.

FOREIGN ENJOYS
RECEIVED TODAY
AT ROYAL PALACE
Lines of Soldiers Hold Back
Horde of Whining
Beggars.

| LONDON, June 20.-Contrasts of a
type to cause students of socia! condi-
tions much concern featured the coro-
nation celebration today. The King and
Queen today received all OF the visit
ing foreign ENJOYS with imperiol state
at Buckingham Palace. The broad roads
leading to the entrances were lined with
the members of the guard, their bril-
liant uniforms set off with glittering
brasses which reflected the rays of the
scorching sun.
Through this lane of armed men. car
rying their rifles at present most Of
the time, rolled the magnificent stape
equipages, up to date automobiles, and
wonderful private carriages on the
cushions of which reposed in seemingly
bored state. ;he gorgeously uniformed
portentates, princes and private citi-
zens who represent the nations Of the
world at the investment Of England's
King.
Beggars in Line.
Behind the long line of soldiers, press
ing against their backs and gazing OPEN
mounted at the wonderfully picturesque
spectacles presented, were thousands of
tbe poorest OF EngIand's citizenship.
Many came to view the spectacle, but
the majority were there frankly to beg.
AS the carriages rolled along, their
whining opportunities filled the air.
Many gave freely, tossing coins over the
heads of the tall guardsmen to the be-
grimed, appealing hands outstretched
toward them. Others sat bolt upright
in their equipages, paying no attention
to the appeals or to the showers of
vituperation that marked their failure
to distribute largess as was expected.
Early in the day a detachment of
police was sent. forth to drive the beg
gars of the street. They were so numer-
Gus. however, and so tightly wedged at
all of the points past which the visiting
envoyE or the wealthy sightseers were
compelled to drive that the police were
powerless to interfere.
Too Much for Police.
y The problem of handling the traffic
was far beyond the police today. The
streets were filled with sightseers, who
interfered with vehicular traffic. but
the police, after a vain attempt TO drive
the people back on the sidewalks, gave
up the task in DISGUST and sent the We
hicles along by foundabouts routes,
giving up the main streetsto the crowds
on foot.
The entire West End was a scene of
confusion today, and hundreds of per-
sons were overcome by their eX-
periences to such an extent that they
required medical aid from the many Red
Cross booths established at the intersec- |
tions Of all the principal thoroughfares. |

coal, while an engine is standing
motionless.
