LONDON. December l2.-The coro-
nation of Britain's King will go of on
schedule next May IL with King
George vi and his queen-wife Eliza
beth in the leading roles.
Edwards speedy abdication and his
brothers accession to the throne by
formal proclamation today will permit
the program to go ahead without more
ado, an official announcement said
today.
Only one major change was decided
upon-peeresses attending the crown
ing next year will be required to wear
coronets as the present monarch brings
a queen to the throne with him
The decision brought great relief to
industries busy with manufacture OF
souvenirs and other needs for the
ceremony.
Although unoficial estimates were
that Lloyds had paid out approximately
$500, 900 on policies covering the pos
sibility of postponement of coronation
festivities, business dealers said fears
Of heavy losses due to scrapping Of
coronation souvenirs bearing Edwards
portrait or initials were disappearing.
The public is buying them rapidly as
souvenirs Of the first English King ever
to leave the throne voluntarily, the
business men said.
Likewise there vas n business ho.oY,
today in stamps bearing Edwards pic
ture. Postal oficials said the govern
ment would 60 right on printing the
Edward stamps for several months and
that demand for them had skyrocketed
far above the usual 100000 a day
figure.
The stamps will continue to be
printed until King George vi ap-
proves his official portrait.

rons in France in 1918. To the army

IUIlS III CTduCe III 1910. 10 Tie army
went similar greeting.
Prime Minister Baldwin, Chancellor
Of the Exchequer Neville Chamberlain
and other cabinet ministers were pres
ent with their monarch at the pro-
cedure Of accession from st. James.
Each wore the official uniform of
black and gold with a plumed hat.
Sir Austen Chamberlain, the blue
ribbon Order Of the Garter emblazoned
across his chest, came next; then Sir
George Broadbridge. lord mayor of
London, with his sheriffs and alder
men, all in civic robes over court
dress.
The Archbishops of York and Can
terbury. as representatives of the Eng
lish church, completed the assembly.
Wears AdmiraPs Uniform.
King George wore the uniform of
admiral of the fleet and dashed from
his 145 Piccadilly home by automo-
bile. accompanied only by a police
sergeant and two patrolmen.
Slowly the new King walked to his
place before the great crimson and
gold throne as Queen Mother Mary
watched the scenes outside the palace
from an upstairs window in Marl-
borough House.
Georges brothers. the Dukes of
Gloucester and Kent, were with him
inside. and after the proclamation of
his accession he received the greetings
and expressions Of loyalty from repre-
sentatives of the dominions.
At the conclusion of the council
meeting King George vi walked down
the grand staircase, out of the palace
door and, to the cheers of the crowd,
departed for Buckingham Palace.
The representatives of the Irish
Free State were not among the do
minion ENJOYS presented to the new
King, because Of the Irish Parliament's
delay in enacting legislation accepting
the succession.
Trafiic was diverted from the route
of the proclamation procession, but
downtown London was literally jam
med as the proclamations of kingdom
were read at st. James, Charing Cross,
Temple Bar and the Royal Exchange.
Princesses Make Appearance.
The little princesses, Elizabeth and
Margaret Rose, who are next in line
for succession to the throne, made
their first public appearance in the
afternoon in a drive with their father
King down Constitution Hill. Smiling
and wild with excitement, they were
cheered enthusiastically. The King
lifted his hat and the little girls waved
excited greetings.
D. Only once during the day was there
disorder, and that only because of the
crowds exrberance. Several thousand
watchers at st. James burst police cor
donS. Mounted police reinforcements
rushed up to clear the roadway.
Briefly, in the House Of Commons,
members assembled to take the oath
Of allegiance. Each member was
sworn individually. Likewise, the
House Of Lords pledged fealty for the
second time within q year.
And so came to an end the crisis Of
an empire.

sorrow in the hearts of the crowds,
but it was the new Kings day and
he was given full homage.
Everywhere Britain closed her
ranks in answer to Prime Minister
Stanley Baldwin's appeal to Com
mons when Edwards abdication be-
came known, and rallied around the
second son of Queen Mother Mary.
One of King Georges first acts
was to agree no change will occur
for the coronation and that it will
be held as scheduled May IL.
Another was to approve the title
Of Duke of Windsor for his departed
brother.
Thus the association with the an
cient Castle of Windsor from which
Edward last night made his historic,
moving farewell to his people will
accompany him in exile.
So. too, will special prayers of at
least one section of the English
church. The Bishop of Chichester
appealed to the clergy Of his diocese
to offer a special prayer tomorrow:
almighty and everlasting God, who
doth dispose and turn hearts Of kings
a. seemeth best to thy godly wisdom,
receive our humble prayers for thy
servant Edward, our late King and
governor, that through thy most
mighty protection both here and ever,
he may be preserved in body and soul
through Jesus Christ our Lord, amen. "
Whether the crown as the last great
link holding the self-goverring en-
pire together has been materially
weakened by Edwards abdication no
one knows.
Some Englishmen lamented today
that "The old empire will never be
quite the same again." ..-.
But, even SO, the empire never has
remained constant. Every succeeding
generation has witnessed important
changes right through to the statute
Of Westminster in 1881, which left
the crown as the only remaining link
Of power.
That lone link may have been jolted
severely the last 10 days, but by solemn
sense Of tradition bred into Edward
the constitutional issue Of what
might happen should the then King
reject the advice Of his ministers,
never reached the stage Of open con-
test.
New KINGS Day Begins
The new Kings day began ut st.
James, where the deed which pro-
claimed him ruler was drawn up by
500 resplendent accession councillors
and heralds, and pursuivants cried
out the new monarch was at hand.
Then he dispatched messages to
the fighting services, now at his COM
mand. To the navy, in which he was
trained. he pointed to his service with
naval units during the World War.
To the air force he recalled he had
served with the independent squad

JAMES ROOSEVELT
. HERE THIS WINTER
Reported Son Will Be Presi-
dents Confidential Aide
or Secretary.

James Roosevelt, the Presidents
eldest son and companion on the
South American trip from which the
President is now returning, will live
in Washington this Winter as gen.
eral aide to his father, according to
reports received here yesterday.
According to these reports, James
would serve without salary and prob
ably without title, but his duties
would be those of q confidential as
sistant or secretary.
This Is the second occasion on
which administration officials have
heard that the President intended to
bring his oldest son to Washington
to serve in q secretarial capacity. The
hrst was year or so ago, when 1t
was announced that James was giving
up his insurance business in Boston.
Publication of the story that James
was going to move into the White
House to assist his father was promptly
followed by an announcement by the
President that James was going to
take charge Of the family estate at
Hyde Park and conduct some expert
ments in reforestation.
Announcement Surprise.
This announcement came as sur
prise to a number of close associates
of the Presidents Oldest son and,
it was reported, was a surprise to
James also. If he undertook any ex-
periments in reforestation they ap-
parently were brief, for soon after
ward it was announced that he was
becoming head of yeast company, q
position which he held for short
time before handing in his resigna-
ton.
Indications that the introduction of
James into his oficial family would
have demoralizing effect on his sec
retariat were held to be chiefly re-
sponsible for the Presidents aband-
onment of his apparent plan to bring
his Oldest son to Washington on the
first occasion
With the death after a long illness
of Louis McHenry Howe, his conf
dental secretary for more than 20
years, followed few days ago by the
death of his personal bodyguard, Gus
Generich, the President Is said to
feel that he must have at his side some
one who knows him intimately and
who can perform many of the con-
fidential little errands which were
performed by Messrs Howe and Gen
nerich in addition to their more formal
duties.
Appointments Doubted.
That James would be appointed to
the secretariat, where a vacancy now
exists, is doubted here. Reports are
still current that Stephen Early, press
secretary, who has taken over many
of the late Col Howe's duties, intends
to resign to accept private employment.
If this occurs there will be two vacan-
cies in the regular secretariat of the
Presidents original male secretarial
trio, only Marvin H. Mcintyre would
remain.
There is speculation to the effect
that one secretarial post will be left
vacant and the duties assumed by
James Roosevelt in an untitled capac-
ity-unless he retains his commission
as lieutenant-colone in the Marine
Corps, which was given to him just
before the President left on his South
American trip. 1t is assumed, although
there has been no announcement, that
If James comes to Washington to as
sist his father, he and his wife, Betsey,
and their two daughters, will live at
the White House.

NEW YORK, May 81 Q.N.SO.
Although trading continued dull
and virtually featureless, curb
stocks steadied in later dealings
and advanced moderately under
the leadership Of the power shares.
The United Gas and United
Light issues were making headway
in the utilities. The preferred
stocks of both advanced we'll over
a point, and the low-priced COM
mon shares netted "a point each.
Electric Bond and Share and
American Gas and Electric i'm
proved on fair buying. Utilities
Light preferred added a point.
The mining shares were also
generally improved, although gains
were restricted. Lake Shore, Hecla
and Hudson Bay mining were in
the van of the advance, all with
fractional gains.
A tendency to lag was evident in
the oils, which were receiving less
attention than Usual. Gulf ad-
vanced moderately, while other
issues held about unchanged.
Reports of increasing orders
aided Technicolor to establish
moderate gains. Aluminium of
America recovered two points of
recent losses. American Cyanamid
B worked higher on the session
after an easy start.

Rail Supply Spendings
Squirt Expected

Rail carriers of the United
States are expected to purchase
and consume more material and
supplies in 1886 than at any time
since 1881, DR.. Julius H. Parmelee,
director Of the bureau Of railway
economics, Association of Ameri-
can Railroads, today told the an
nual convention Of the Railway
Tie Association, which is meeting
in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Railroad consumption of sup
plies and materials in 1881, DR..
Parmelee said, aggregated $685.
900, 900.
To Renew Ties
Declaring that the reproducing
industry will share proportionately
with other industries in the in
creasing buying power of the rail-
roads, DR.. Parmelee said it is
probable that close to $4,000, 900
cross-ties will be renewed this
year, an increase Of 12.5 per cent
over 1885 and "a per cent over
1888.
At the end of 1885, he said, there
were approximately 1,038,000, 900
cross-ties supporting 348,300 miles
Of track owned and operated by
Class l steam railroads in the
United States, a decrease Of
100000 ties from the aggregate
in track at the end of 1880, the
peak year. The decline was due
principally to the abandonment
