FAMOUS CORONATION
CHAIR IS BLOWN UP
"stone Of Destiny" in London Is
Shattered by Militant
Suffraget Bomb.

London, June 12.-An attempt to
blow up the coronation chair, which
has been in Westminster Abbey since
1896. was made this evening. The out
rage Is attributed by the authorities to
militant suffragets.
The chair, generally called st. Ed
wards chair. out OF respect to Edward
the Coubessor near whose shrine It
stands. was made by order of King
Edward I, to hold the coronation
tone. or ''stone of destiny" on which
the ancient Scottish kings used to sit
when they were crowned. 1t was cap
tured by Edward I from the Scotch.
The damage caused to the chair by
today's explosion was slight. The ex-
ploeive had been placed beneath 1t, hut
Its effects seemed not to reach the
chair itself which is OF solid oak
covered with gliding and ornamental
work.
The famous old stone. however. was
badly Clipped,
The history Of the stone so far as it
Is known. goes back to the year of
$50. when it was placed in the Abbey
1t Is not known whence 1T originally
came. but a legend connected with It
says 1t Is the identical stone upon
which the biblical. patriarch Jacob laid
his head when he had the vision Of the
angels descending the ladder that

The explosion occurred while Reg

fraget question in the house Of COM
mons The defamation was plainly
heard in the parliament house and
members Of the commons and the peers
flocked out into Parliament square to
ascertain what had happened.

The bill together with the amend

once. 1t had not been determined
early today whether the House would
accept the amendment or send the bill
to conference. Should the House accent
the amendment. the bill will not have
TO De returned to the Senate, except
for the signature of the presiding OF
ficer.
Administration leaders in congress
were practically sure the president
would sign the bill.
Among measures awaiting the SEN
ates consideration are the legislative,
executive and judiciary APPROPRIATED
bill. the immigration bill and the ad-
mlnistration's program of antitrust
bills. 1t was expected that the Senate
would work on the appropriation
measure today.
Chairman Adamson, of the
committee, in charge of the bill, moved
that the House concur with the amend
ment instead of sending it to confer
ence.
The Senate amendment" he said
Should be acceptable to all advo-
Gates or UNIFORM tolls. 1t Is exceed
ingly appropriate that the statement
contained in the amendment should
