JAPANESE CORONATION POSTPONED BECAUSE OF
 DEATH OF EMPRESS

Tokio, April 1O-Count Shuigenobu Okuma, former foreign minister. was recommended to the emperor today by the elder statesmen for the office of premier in place of Count Gombef Ya- mamoto, whose cabinet resigned in consequence of the naval scandals con nected with the recenpt of illicit com missions by officers
 The coronation of the Emperor, which had been fixed for November 10 next, has been postponed until 1916 owing to the death of the Dowager Empress
 The reason for the prolonged de- lay of the coronation is that the seed of the rice used in the sacred cere- mony must not be ripened during the period of national mourning.

Ben Woolman, who is under indict- ment for the murder of Mrs. Debor- rah Welborn in this city. must go to trial at this term of court to answer that charge
 Yesterday Attorneys A. ]. Murphy and x. o. Pindall of counsel for the defendant, appeared in circuit court and setting forth the i'll health of Col George Murphy, who is also of coun- sel for the defendant asked that the trial of Woolman be put off until an- other term of court
 Judge Gotham called the attention of the counsel to the fact that already this case had been postponed several times, and that it had been set for this term of count, and must proceed to trial He announced that the case would not be delayed for any consid- erable length of time but that if the defense wanted one more week, he would consent that when the case is called next Monday it be put off until January 19, the following Monday.
 Col Murphy was injured some time ago in an auto accident in Little Rock, and he is not physically able to enter into the case, it was shown, but the court called attention to the fact that former Governor K o. Pin dall of Little Rock, and Attorney A ]. Murphy, of this city were also in the case, he did not believe the rights of the defendant would be preudiced, and that with such counsel to repre- sent him, certainly he would be well represented in court
 Woolman was held without bond for some time after the tragedy but was released on bail shortly before the execution of Schumann, and has since been at liberty. The only eye witness to the killing, visitor by the name of Hull, has died since the tragedy, but his evidence was taken in a preliminary examination con ducted by George P, Wilmington, as sistant prosecutor at that time and it is said is available in the trial of the case.

FoRD's GENEROSITY.
To His Employees Is Gratifying to EV-
 cry Automobile Owner.

When Henry Ford, head of the Ford Mobor Company manufacturers of the Ford automobile, made his 25,Oo0 employees sharers in the S10,000,000 profits of the concern for last year, he not only made an epoch in indus trial history. but he made the Ford machine still more popular with all who like to see laborers receive more than mere wages in the successful firm. By Mir. Ford's act every man of che vast Ford organization, includ- ing the man who sweeps the floor, will have share in the earnings of this phianthropic corporation, and will work harder for the success of the Ford automobile during the year. The Ford factory is located in De- troit, Mich, and the fact that the Ford employees are the best paid of any automobile concern in the coun- try should be some satisfaction to every persons who owns or rides in a Ford automobile
 Another car load of Ford machines were unloaded at the Hamp Williams Hardware Company store yesterday and the public is invited to call and inspect the best automobile in the market for the money. (Adyt)
