KING GEORGES THRONE IS SAFE
AS GOTH YEAR OF REIGN ENDS
British Monarch Guided En-
pire Through Times
of Trouble.
Wide Travel and Experience
Enabled Him to Keep
Leadership.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 6.-With 20 years OF
his reign behind him today. no modern
monarch has brought his throne SO I'M
scratched through such world storms
as King George has weathered.
From the very start he has had 10
deal with times Of stress.
Barely three years of his reign could
be called normal" and even while war
clouds were stills gathering over Eu-
rope the Irish question was pressing
dangerously.
In August, 1914, the World War broke
with it's appalling fury. Until its end
the King was outwardly a calm and
steady rock to which his people might
look for assurance.
It was the way king should have
acted, and in truth the only way he
could. He came out of the war mon
arch very dear to his people as per-
son.
Led in Irish Settlement.
In 1921 he took the lead in settling
the Irish troubles with a personal ap-
peal.
In 1925 the general strike, the next
big public crisis, found King George
making another appeal for industrial
peace, which did much to keep the con-
troversy friendly and to avoid serious
riots.
Then came his desperate illness,
which, after many months, left him in
far from robust health.
1t was during this time that the pub
lie affection for the King was most
spectacularly demonstrated. Thousands
milled about Buckingham Palace while
he was sick, waiting to read for them
selves the doctors bulletins. When
later he returned to London from his
seaside convalescence the route was
thronged for miles.
Last year the anniversary Of his ac-
cession to the throne was made an
opportunity for q nations thanks for
his safe recovery. There was a modest
celebration and thousands Of messages
Of ,congratulation poured into the palace

BROWN HITS BLAINE
. CHARGE AS FALSE
Cites Circumstances to Show
Post Office Did Not "SIip
Deal Over on Congress-"

Postmaster General Brown yesterday
branded as IAN unmitigated falsehood"
q statement attributed to Senator Blaine
Republican, of Wisconsin, in which 1t
was said that the Post Office Depart
ment Slipped 1t over on Congress" in
obtaining legislative authority to change
the site for the new Chicago Federal
Building.
Senator Blaine. chairman of the SEN
ate Committee Investigating Post Of
51ce Leases, was quoted by Brown as
having said at recent hearings in Chi
cago:
legislative authority to make these deals.
They slipped it over on Congress, COM
ing in about two hours before noon on
the last day of the session and asking
that these specific items of millions be
placed in the budget. OF course, the
Budget Committee had no chance to in
vestigate, and, therefore, had to rely
on the officials honesty and judgment"
The Postmaster General said, This
false and malicious charge was intended
as Slur upon the honestly and bust
ness Judgment OF officials OF the Post
Once Department"
"Blaine's statement is completely at
variance with the facts" he continued.
'In the first place, 1t was the Treasury,
and not the Post Office Department,
which sought legislative authority to
change the site for the Chicago Fed
eral building In the second place, the
transaction had the careful attention
not only of the Bureau of the Budget
hat of both houses of Congress.
~ was submitted informally to the
entire Chicago delegation in Congress-
by whom it was unanimously approved
It was laid formally before the second
session of the Seventy-first Congress on
May %, 1880, exactly seven weeks be-
fore adjournment. instead of two hours,
as stated by Blaine.
I'm view of this record Of the facts,
It is apparent that Blaine's statement
that this transaction was Slipped over
on Congress by the Post ONCE Depart
n1ent in the last minutes of the closing
day of the session is an unmitigated
falsehood
I'm the period of more than a year
which has elapsed since the Senate
Lease Committee was established Blaine
has repeatedly issued statements charg-
ing that post Office leases are honey
combed with corruption.
yet he has produced no evidence of
irregularity in a single one of the more
than $4,000 leases which have been in
force In the period governed by his
inquiry.
His present intrusion into the sub
feet of sites for Federal buildings
field which is entirely outside the juris-
diction of his committees evidently
for the purpose of covering up his fall
ure to secure any plausible evidence to
eubstantiate his unwarranted charges
Of fraud in connection with leases.
II have neither the desire nor the
intention to engage in any controversy
with a notoriety-seeker Of this type.
However I deem 1t my duty to warn
the public that there is no more reason
to put faith in any statements which
Blaine has made or may make suggest
ing irregularities in the purchase Of
sites for Federal buildings than there Is
to believe his thoroughly discredited
charges respecting post Office leases"

to the police that Wilson had given
him a bogus 50-cent coin.
The McKees Rocks police said that
upon his arrest several counterfeit coins

they said, at wilson's lodging, they
found a mold, ladle, babbit metal and
30 more of the false 50-cent coins. The
Government men said they were "the
best imitation of the Liberty strike

They said Wilson admitted he had
come to McKees Rocks several weeks
ago from Washington, D. c., where he
said he had circulated much of the
worthless money. He also was alleged
to have confessed that before that time
he had been in New Orleans, where he
had been successful in Kidding himself

The operatives said that of late they
had been notified by banks in Pitts
