King Edward always in a great hurry
whether in automobiIins or anything else He
insisted on passing any car that was ahead of

annoyed whenever the chauffeur got him into
any danger
"One afternoon during his stay at Rufford

Newark. writes Stamper. In the course of
the run we came to a long incline where the
road straight and the surface good. Down
this we were travelling at a good pace. when
all of sudden we came upon a culvert. There
was time to 'sow down. and as we went

kicked rather badly. Directly had seen the

himself he never showed the slightest sign of
disapproval If it a servant the King
would answer him very quietly in as few words
as possible, such as, How Interestingly or
aolIotnlng to that effect, and would take the
first opportunity of gently terminating the
ion.
"To others he would be extremely polite and
talk quietly, until a pause gave him a chance
of hurrying away to one of the equerries.

| think it was because he realized that they in
tended no wrong that he refraned from admin
istering the terrible punishment which a rebuff
from him would have meant. Once as he re-
turned to the car after one of these unfortu-
nate encounters, l heard him say to an
eQuerry:
Poor man. poor man. He did not know
any better"
Mr.. Stamper describes how voubly the King
swore, when butchers boy who drove badly
got in the way of his car.

UDICIOTS friends of the British monarchy
continue TO be grieved at the literary eff
forts OF various blunderheaded admirers
of the late King Edward to defend his char
acter.
British society has already been shocked by
King Edward in His True Colors" the book Of
Edward Legge who depicted the King as
laree-hearted monarch who enjoyed himself
heartily and became furious whenever anybody
jnterfered with his pleasures.
That work, however. was a masterpiece Of
tact compared with the latest book What |

Attendance Upon His Late Majesty, King Ed
ward VII" by c. ". Stamper published by
Boon & Mills London Mr.. Stamper was an
expert automobile machnist who looked after
all the Kings motor cars and sat beside the
chauffeur whenever His Majesty went riding.
4 has been stated that King George offered
Mr Stamper $3.50 not to publish his book. but
the offer declined. Amy intelligent person
who reads the book will at once understand
WY hing George was so reckless with his
money.

NAVY READY FOR ANYTHING
Secretary Daniels in His Annual Re-
port Says 1t Is Prepared for
Every Emergency.

Washington, Dec. lin his annual
report, made public today, Secretary
of the Navy Daniels gives high praise
to what Lincoln called "the web-foot-
ed' arm of the service. He says:
"The story of the years work by this
patriotic body Of efficient defenders
of the republic is replete with examples
of courage, devotion, sacrifice and
progress. Happily the country has
been free from war. but the navy has
no holiday. Alert, prepared, equipped
for any emergency, the $4,000 men
composing the personnel demonstrate
that when called upon they are al
ways ready for duty"

REGULAR SESSION
OF CONGRESS OPENS
Both Houses Are Called to Order
at Capitol.
WOMEN FILL THE GALLERIES
Many Members Are Absent and Some
Will Remain Away Until After
the First of the
Year.

Washington, Dec. AT the stroke
of noon today gavels sounded in SEN
ate and house signalling the opening
of the second, or first regular, session
Of the Sixty-Third congress.
The familiar figure of Speaker
Champ Clark was seen in the house
chamber. In the senate Vice-Presi-
dent Marshall called the senators to
order. This was the first regular ses-
sion of congress in many years which
was ushered in under entirely Demo,
cratic auspices-with Democrats in
control ct the house and senate and
Democratic executive in the White
House. ->s.rs..-
As is usual on such occasions, the
galleries we're filled, there being a
brilliant display of millinery and win
ter fashions by women spectators.
The diplomatic galleries in both
houses were we'll filed, diplomats of
South America and Central America
predominating liz the attendance.
In the house the blind chaplain Of
that body, Rev. Henry N Couden, de-
Evered the invocation, after which a
few new members were escorted to
the speakers desk TO take the oath
of office. This ceremony over the
house, proceeded to uninteresting rou-
tine business. Routine business and
preliminary skirmishing over the cur
rency bill occupied the attention Of
the senate.
Subjects They Will Take Up.
/ Many members, who were detained
here during the summer and autumn
months, have not returned yet, some
declaring they would remain away I'M
til after January 1, so as to be at
home for the holiday season. They
think little important business will
be transacted until after the begin
ming of the new year.
Although the program had not been
definitely formulated, members look
forward to tackling one of the most
ambitious legislative tasks that con-
gress in a long time has attempted.
Here are some of the subjects of legis-
lation that the new congress will take
up:
Final action on the currency bill.
Antitrust legislation.
Rural credits.
Naval program.

els that he will open fire on them if
an attack is made on the city. The
report seems to come from very
good authority and is generally cred
tied.
Vera Cruz, Dec. 1.-Querido Mohe-
no, minister of foreign affairs in the
Huerta cabinet, arrived here from the
capital and is said to be awaiting the
arrival Of John Lind from Tampico to-
day. According to unconfrmed re-
ports, Senior Moheno has been en-
powered to reopen negotiations with
the special envoy of the United States
government.
Ruerta is said to have arrived at
the conclusion that it is useless to
maintain his defiant attitude any long
er, as there is but little prospect of
raising the funds necessary to run
the government and maintain the large
army necessary to deal with the for
midable revolutionary movement
which is gradually closing in on the
capital. y
Two Cities Cut Off.
Tampico and Tuxpam are both prac-
tically cut off from all communication
on the land side, and the rebels are
becoming dangerously active along
two railroads leading from Vera Cruz
to the capital.
The cruiser Tacoma sailed for an
unknown destination, supposedly Tux
nam ar TamnicO.
Manuel Madero, the last member OF
the family of the late president re-
naming in Mexico, arrived on the
same train with Senior Moheno, guard
ed by SO soldiers and was taken i'm
mediately to the fortress prison of
San Juan de Ulloa. He is charged
with completely in plot against the
government.
To Storm Chihuahua City.
Ell Paso, Tex, Dec. 1.-Pancho Villa
spent Sunday getting ready to follow
his rebel army to the south to attack
Chihuahua City. Artillery was loaded,
more provisions were sent south and
many details were attended to. Villa
anxiously awaited news from the men
sent south Saturday - hoping. that they
