Kings Costly.
Special Cablegram to The S'tar.
LONDON, May 14.?Court, military and
municipal officials, working at high pressure
for the past few days, have completed
the details of the arrangements
for the funeral ceremonies next week.
The preliminary obsequies began today,
when the king's body, after his brother,
the Duke of Connaught, took his farwell
look, was removed from the simple
death room to the splendid throne room
of the palace, which has been converted
into a chapello ardentea, where it will
lip privately In state Sunday and Monday.
Tuesday It will be removed with
processional pomp to Westminster Hall,
where it will lie publicly in state until
Friday.
Upon the arrival of the body at Westminster
Hall at noon Tuesday there will
be a brief religious service conducted by
the Archbishop of Canterbury and the
Bishop of London. The services will be
attended by the members of lords and
commons. The hall will not he draped
ar.d the ceremonial will be of marked
simplicity. The coffin will rest on a draped
catafalque. The only sign of decoration
in the ancient hall will he a purple
cloth covering the platform of the catafalque
and the trappings of the bier.
*oval Mourners at Bier.
The' king and queen, the queen mother
" and other royal mourners will be grouped
about the catafalque during the briel
service. Monday night the king, queen,
queen mother and other members of the
royal family, officials and servants ol
the palace will attend a special devotional
service before the body Is removed tc
Westminster Hall Tuesday morning.
The participation of the public in the
bsequies will begin Tuesday noon, wher
the public lying in state has begun. From
then on until the departure of the cortege
from Paddlngton station for Wlndsoi
Castle Friday, the inhabitants of Londor
and visitors will be spectators of a succession
of solemn and impressive services.
The funeral of Queen Victoria
touched London only in its passage from
on* railroad station to another. In Kin?
Edward's funeral the people will be able
to see the transit of the coffin from th<
palace to Westminster Hall, the twe
days lying in state, and the final military
pageant Friday, when the cortege will
traverse three miles of the streets ol
LoiufSh. The city will be crowded Tuesday
with an army of spectators, whe
are flocking to town from the provinces
and continent. During four mournful
daya the people will pay a tribute to ths
royal dead that will probably be greater
than any such tribute paid before.
Cost of Royal FuneraL
An idea of th? probable cost of the funeral
can be gained from the expense lr
connection with Queen Victoria's. Th<
latter amounted to ?3CMJ00, of whlcl
?9,500 was spent for the entertainment ol
royal foreign guests and ?10,000 for the
expenses of the troops. Many more royalties
will be present at King Edward's
funeral than were at Queen Victoria's
The cost, therefore, will be proportionately
greater. On the other hand, then
witl be no expensive naval pageant, as
there was in the case of Queen Victoria
Mr. Roosevelt's arrival here Mondaj
will be without ostentation. London is
so full of royalties now. with others com
ing in dally, that Mr. Roosevelt is bound
to enjoy comparative obscurity during hii
stay in London until he appears in th?
funeral procession Friday. After th<
funeral he will pay visits to the houses
of old friends. His only public appearance
after the funeral will be at a quiei
guild hall luncheon and at Oxford L'ni
. versity, when he delivers his postponed
Romanes lecture, th? date for which has
not yet been fixed.
Troops to Camp in Streets.
i nirty thousand soldiers win oe broughl
from Aldershot and other military campt
to line the streets Friday, when the procession
passes.
As there is no room to barrack them
over night, the soldiers will bivouac iri
the parks and streets. The city will have
the appearance of an Invested town foi
two days Some of the soldiers will sleep
in tent's In the parks, while the remainder
will lie down beside their guns in the
itrnta.
The arTillery horses, with gun carriage,
were rehearsing today through the
streets along the line of march, so as tc
avoid the possibility of a mishap Friday.
Fabulous Prices for Seats.
Fabulous prices are being asked foi
seats In the stands along the line, $2!
being the lowest sum at which it is possible
to get a place. The householders
overlooking Trafalgar Square have senl
a proteet to the lord chamberlain foi
again changing the line of march, which
cuts them off and deprives them of eagerly
expected profits.
King George being so closely identified
with the navy, the naval contingents will
take a prominent part in the ceremonies
Bluejackets will draw the curi carriage t<
l Windsor, as they drew the carriage
which bore the body of Victoria, although
on that occasion they did so be
cause the horses became restive.
The hymns which will be sung at th?
service at Windsor are all of the ?.ueei
mother's choice. They are "My God, Mj
Father, While I Stray," ".Now the La
borer's Task Is O'er." and "I Heard <
Voice From Heaven."

o'clock for I?ndon. It was to be ex>
pected that Ool. Roosevelt would receive
a cordial welcome here, but the marked

the army maneuvers arranged
in Ills honor have been the snhleet of
much comment, in view of the death of

I Col. Roosevelt dined at the American
embassy this evening, having as his
guests the imperial chancellor, Dr. von
Bechmann-Hollweg, several cabinet ministers
and the diplomatic representatives
of several of the powers.
A magnificeln vase from the royal

ings and talks with the kaiser have not
yet leaked out. Curiously, nobody seems
to be able to describe exactly the scene
of his first greeting by the kaiser. It is
known that Roosevelt impressed the
kaiser immensely. Thevempress is kindness
personified, and the forceful colonel
is the style of man slie admires. Roosevelt
made one American lady happy by
consenting to use her ninety-horsepower
auto for a trip. He has granted many
audiences, among them a long one to Mr.
Kellogg, the trust buster. Mr. Kellogg
will return to the United States on the
same steamer as the Roosevelts, sailing
June IK.
Ambassador Hill's action In consulting
the British court and government regarding
modified arrangements for Roosevelt's
English visit, caused by King Edward's
death, is criticised by ultra-sensitive
Americans as unusual and superfluous.
It certainly creates a precedent, but
a majority of American, English and
German opinions applaud Dr. Hill's action.
It was taken after deliberation
with the German ministry of foreign affairs
tfhd the British ambassador here.
CZAR PROLONGS MOURNING.
. Significance Attaches to Fixing of
' Three Months' Period.
Special Cablegram to Tbe Star.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 14.?Considerable
meaning is attached to the per1
sonal act of the czar in fixing the official
: j mourning in Russia for King Edward at
three months, which Is longer than would
. bo accorded to the memory of any one
; outside the czar's immediate family. The
Imperial court minister. Baron Gen.
; Fredericks, drew up the first order, which
> said the mourning period should be one
month. The czar changed this to three
months. This date will carry the Russian
court past the Kiel yachting week and
will cover those summer weeks when the
pleasure cruises of rulers which usually
' led to semi-political meetings are taken.
Not only the Czar Nicholas, but Pre?
mler Stolypin and Foreign Minister Ist
volsky desire strongly that there shall
be a reasonable pause before any proposals
arising from the situation created
' by King Edward's death are made to
Russia. The shaky situation in Turkey is
ihe most immediate motive for their cauI
tion. The late King Edward's friend and
financial adviser. Sir Ernest Cassel, has
hitherto been the chief asset of the new
, Turkish government in the money marts
. of Europe. It is not clear to Russians
what political importance Sir Ernest will
. retain during me reign or ueorge v.

Enthusiastic Declaration for
Country's Independence.
VOICE OF POLISH CONGRESS

Resolution Adopted Without a Dissenting
Vote.

APPEAL MALE FOE EMIGRANTS |
|
Delegates Visit Mount Vernon and
Place Floral Tributes Upon Tomb
of Washington.
Amid scenes of the greatest enthusiasm
and cheers and applause that drowned all
voices, the Polish National Congress just
before adjourning last evening issued a
declaration In favor of the political Independence
of Poland.
"The Poles." said the resolution, trans- |
lated. "have the right to an independent j
political existence of their country and
deem it their duty to aspire to the political
Independence of Poland."
The resolution was offered by the political
section of the congress and was
passed without a dissenting vote, although
several of the European delegates
deemed it unwise to bring up the question.
One of the European delegates, Mr.
Majeraski of Lwow, declaring that in
spirit he was with the other delegates,
said he must withdraw from the room,
as he had no right to participate in deliberations
on this subject.
The action of tlie congress is said to
have placed the European delegates in
an ambarrassing position, but when the
question of Poland's independence was
once brought up, the delegates declared
that there was nothing to do but #to indorse
it unanimously.
Protection of Emigrants.
The economic section offered the following
resolution, which was adopted as
the sense of the congress:
"The Polish congress in Washington
calls upon the whole Polish nation in
the old country as well as in America
to encourage the protection of the emigrants,
saving them as much as possible !
from extortion and mistakes. The congress
hopes that all institutions working
along these lines will be given due sup- 1

port, and that those in America and in ]
Europe will in the future have a closer .
understanding.
"It is especially desirable to consider J
systematic and methodical action for the
protection of Polish girl emigrants from 1
the white slave traffic dangers. i
"The Polish congress recommends that 1
the Poles in America try to induce the c
United States government to open a 1
United States consulate at Cracow. The 1
congress asks the representatives of the ]
Galician diet to open in the United States
a branch of the state bank of Lwow, in
order to facilitate the linancial relations
of the Galician emigrant in America with
his native land, or to authorize the said
bank to give an agency of said institution
to some Polish bank in America.
Retards Economic Growth. i
"The Polish congress in Washington
expresses regret that the Polish immigrants
in the United States are congested
in the large eastern Industrial centers,
which, with the high cost of living and J
the tendency to low living wages, retards
their economic development. It is in the
Interest of the Poles to direct the Polish
immigrant to settle on the farm and to
engage in agriculture, especially in those
localities where the Poles already own
large areas of land.
"The Polish congress recommends to all
Polish organizations in America without *
exception to discourage intemperate '
drinking at their social gatherings and
clubs."
Favors Polish Schools.
The educational section introduced resolutions
which declared that the future of
the Poles lies in the Polish schools, where

language and history be taught in the !
American public schools in those sections ,
of the country where there are a great
many Poles, and that the libraries contain
Polish books. '
The congress indorsed the plans of the
Polish National Alliance to erect and endow
in America a Polish National Uni- versity.
One of the active delegations in the
congress is that from Savanah, Ga. It
is composed of E. J. Okarma, M. Lojcsyk

Wreaths for Washington's Tomb.
Several hundred members of the congress
went to Mount Vernon yesterday
afternoon, where, gathered about the J

tomb of Washington, they paid tribute
to the father of tlieir adopted country.
Three large wreaths were laid on the
tomb, one from the Polish National Alliance,
one from the Polish Women's
Alliance and one from the Polish Turners'
Association.
R. S. Abczynski made an address in
English for the Polish Alliance, and
was followed by President Stecrynskl,
oxnlro lr? Pnllnh tplllnf of the' reVCT
snce the Poles, both in this country and
In Europe, have for Washington.
The most impressive moments were
when Dr. Doboszynskl, from Cracow, the
former . capital of Poland, delivered a
message from that city at the tomb of
Washington. Many men and women about
him were weeping as he finished his adlress.
Dr. Dlslewlcz, from Lemberg, and
Mecanas Suligowski of Warsaw also
brought messages from the Polish cities
jf Europe.
John B. Wleklnskl spoke in English
for the Polish Turners' Association, and
Mrs. Chmielinski of Chicago spoke for
:he Polish Women's Alliance. At the conclusion
of the ceremony, the entire party
sang "America" in English.

REPRESENTATIVES OPPOSED.
Primary Election to Be Held Tuesday

Importance.
CLEVELAND. Ohio, May 14.-A genjral
primary election will be held in Ohio
Tuesday. It has its national bearing in
he fact that the entire state delegation
n the national House of Representatives
s involved.
Of the twenty-one representatives twenty
seek a renomlnation. Twelve have no
>pposition in their own party and this
-elatlvely care-free dozen includes six of
:he eight democrats who represent Ohio
n the lower house.
Incidentally United States Senator
Charles Dick will, in all probability, be
ilaced in nomination by the republicans
lor re-election. Senator Dick will be the
>nly senatorial candidate on the primary
rallot, although there are several candilates
who will make their light before
:he legislature. An attempt to keep his
lame iruni ine uiiuot oy liijuiivuuri Lsuieu.
Many in the Field.
The warmest contests are apparently
n the eighteenth and nineteenth districts,
tn the former Representative James Kenledy
has three republican opponents/ and
in the latter W. Aubrey Thomas is opposed
by two of .his own party. ,
In the large cities of the state there
n little Interest, as the present representuives
are practically unopposed, but in
the country the tariff bill has been a
fruitful source of stump oratory, and
feeling has in places been high and bitter.
The state campaign, although its course
wilt be largely governed by the result
jf the primaries, has cut little figure so
rar, as Qov. Harmon has no opposition
for a renomination, and the republicans
liave not seriously begun the selection
sf a candidate tor governor.

ATTACKS ON PABTY TAKEN UP 1
' ' a
Executive Deplores Them, Although I
Not Sensitive to Personal Criti- 8
cism?Railroad Bill Changes.
A decided step in the direction of assuring
the adoption by Congress of practically
all of the administration legislative
program was taken at the White
House last night. From 10:30 o'clock
until long after 1 o'clock President Taft
discussed the situation with a large majority
of the western republican senators
and five of the party leaders from eastern
states. There were present:
Senators Flint, California; Guggenheim,
Colorado; Heyburn and Borah,
Idaho; Curtis, Kansas; Nelson, Minnesota;
Carter and D.xon, Montana; Burkett
and Brown, Nebraska; Nixon, Nevada;
Gamble and Crawford, South Dakota;
Smoot and Sutherland, Utah, and Piles
and Jones, Washington, representing
states west of the Mississippi river, and
Messrs. Aldrich, Rhode Island; Elkins,
West Virginia; Crane, Massachusetts, .
Root, New York, and Brandegee, Con- "
nectlcut, representing the east.
President Taft talked with great freedom
about the situation. He said that he S
did not care about criticisms of himself,
but that he believed everytning possible
should be done to prevent attacks upon *
the party. In that connection he referred I
incidentally to the statement of Freder- (
ick M. Kerby, the Interior Department t
stenographer who put out a story against t
officials in connection with the preparation
of the Taft letter dismissing Glavis
from the government service. The Presi- a
dent simply cited the instance to show n
the sort of attacks being made against r
the administration. He thought that the
administration senators should help out
in dissipating the effect of stich attacks. &
Every man present agreed to stand by r
the President. 4 * \
Certain amendments to the railroad bill .
were.agreed upon, and, through these it ,
is planned to get the support of some of .
the Insurgent republicans. This state- *j
ment is regarded as.very significant, as .
looking to the avoidance of clashes between
party factions wherever they can 8
be avoided.
. The railroad bill, the anti-injunction
measure, tne statenooa diii, ii possime,
and the public land withdrawal bill were
agreed upon as a revised legislative slate
and all of the senators present pledged
themselves to vote for these measures. It (
Is not believed, however, that the statehood
bill will get) through.
It was agreed, tnat if filibustering methods
were used against'this program those
present last night and the regulars repre- d
sented toy them would stand together and J
vote to lay time-killing amendments on a
the table.

nograpbrr In thr uffirr of tbr
me Secretary of the Interior, to the
lrs effeet that the Presidents letter
of September 13, llMlfl, exonerating;
Secretary Balllngrer, wan substantially
prepared for the Presltiie
dent's slirnatnre by Assistant Atlor
torney General Lanier, It nna
py( said at the White House last alaht
)e^ that there Is absolutely uo founthe
datlon for any such statement.
|0n The President dictated his letter
personally as the result of his
e(j vna MiTiiifiiilun or me reeoro*
re. and ronalgeratloa of dorunieata
-tg and papers In his possession nt
to the time, aad upon the report to
rlc- him of the Attorney General,
the
tal
ing Oscar Law'.er, assistant attorney gen1U
eral for the Interior Department, of which
L1 Richard A. Bellinger is the head, did
the
tjte ln fa?t prepare a draft of a Utter adthe
dresed to Secretary Ballinger, and in
wn
>Qe such form and phrase that it might have
been adopted verbatim and signed by the
President as Mr. Taft's exoneration of
by the Secretary of the charges of L. K.
the Ola vis. and authorizing tiie dismissal of
ed. Glavls from his position of special agent
Ind 0( the Interior Department.
IvThis
draft bv Mr. Bawler was delivered
injje
yesterday afternoon to tiie Ballinger-Pinnd
chot committee and ordered spread upon
*8- the records of the investigation. Careful.
;ker_
comparison of the Dawler draft with
ng the letter of the President shows that
Mr. Taft did in fact adopt practically
?c- verbatim two short paragraphs of Mr.
Dawler's language. The substance of tne
nd two documents is not otherwise closely
Uk i similar.
White House Denial.
Denial was given at ihe White House
lgi last night, in a brief statement, to ln?
:th marges made by Frederick M. Kero>
f
n& . that he, as stenographer in tiie office uf
ld~ the Secretary of the interior, had pre
ap
pared, at the dictation of Assistant Alter
torney General Daw lei and in luini for
the signature ot President Tail, me iei.de

I' Attorney General Wicaersiutm jesiti>n
<<?; day transmitted to the Baliinger-Pinchvl
le> investigating committee tiie memorandum
prepared by Daw Officer Dawler of the Inter.or
Department.
It is in the form of a letter from the
m Drociiiont tn Qo/troto rv lO ,j 111 n our I ??
jp * t^BIVIVUV W MVV1 V?>?* J . Ail OWiAAV
features it is practically the same as the
President's letter of September 13, UfifJ.
!Ulte
exonerating Ballingor and dismissing
ed Glavis.
^ President's Authorship Asserted.
,rt That the President dictated his letter,
g personally, as the result of his own iuir
vestigation of the record and considerate
tion of documents and papers in his posm"
session at the time, and upon the report
to him of the Attorney General, is as?r
serted in the White House statement.
;ht To this statement was added the comment
at the White House that a
MA
ch comparison of the Bawler memorandum.
In, as submitted to the Ballinger-Pinehot
nd investigating committee yesterday, and
iee the President's letter itself will show that
i|t
the Kerby charges have no foundation,
he The statement of the President did not
de go into the suggestion that in dictating
his letter, he used some of the ideas and
fjg phrases prepared by Mr. Hawler. Having
before him the papers in the case at the
time he wrote the letter, it was likely
that he made use of certain expressions
and thoughts he found in them, it is (
assumed, by several of those familiar
with the case.
Drafts Burned, Says Kerby.
ey
1(1 Kerby related in his affidavit at length
k1i the circumstances under which he alleged
of the Lawler draft to have been prepared.
Kerby asserted further that all the preen
liminary drafts used in the preparation
of the letter were burned in a grate m
the Interior Department at the suggestion
and under the supervision of Don Ai.
Carr, Mr. Balllnger's private secretary.
Kerby drew the inference that the La wrier
letter had been adopted by the 1'res;>r
dent essentially as his own; that Mr. Ballinger
and his legal adviser had therefore
virtually prepared the exoneration
ig which Mr. Taft had issued over his own
It signature.
gS Similarity of Letters.
The Lawler memorandum sent by the
Attorney General to the Ballingerr>
Plnchot investigating committee lieara
it no date and is a carbon copy and not the
r- original.
The first and seventh paragraphs of tho
>n President's letter are Identical with
it paragraphs of the memorandum. Other
ig paragraphs of the memorandum ara
e- paraphrased In the President's letter.
