King George and Queen Mary to-day
showed themselves to the musses us
distinct from the more favored classes
who were able to obtain access 10 tho
circumscribed urea of yeetorduy's pago
nnt. Tho route of the procession was
moro extended. Including a c'rcult of
some of tho most populous districts or
tho cnpltul and the crowds that looked
on were correspondingly greater. Then,
too, Their Majesties were accompanied
by a larger escort.
The scenes along tho route were to
a grout extent u repetition of thoso of
yesterday with a much greater crowd
of spectators. The procession began
to form in the yard of Buckingham
Palace and the adjacent streets at 9
o'cl'ick, and two hours later it was
under way. Between lines of cheer?
ing thousands the 'royal party mndo

squadrons of cavalry representing all!
branches of thnt nrm of the service,
life guards, dragoons, hussars and |

band and a section ot horse artillery.
Those were followed by till tho nnvnlI

the War Olllce stuff, deputations of
foreign olllcers, tho royal stifte, the
members of the royal family and the
foreign princess, and the colonial und
Indian escorts, who Immediately pre?
ceded the stale carriages.
Welcome I'prnnrloMN.
In the royal cqutppugo with the King
and Queen rode Field Marshal Kltch
ncr and the bearer of the royal stan?
dard. The royal escort brought up the
rear. Scats for many thousands had
been erected along the long route, and
the progress of tho King and Queen
was Indeed u royal ono.
Everywhere they received an uproar?
ious welcome, from the visitors In tho
hotels, from the stands of Piccadilly.
Trafalgar Square and the Strand, from
the business men of London proper,
who had brought their wives and chil?
dren to the city for this day, and again
?from Their Mnjesllc's humbler sub?
jects south of the ri-er.
Decorations of yesterday remnlnert
in Piccadilly and those In other streets
traversed were not less spectacular.
In the Strand there wore rows of inast,s
each bearing a red lion, and undcrnentfc
o red velvet drapery with a lion ram?
pant in the centre. Festoons of var?
ious colors ran from most to mnsk.

The masts wore connected by festoona
of greenery.
Somewhat slmilnr decorations had
been made In the oth.?r streets of the
city, while across tho entrance to Lon?
don Bridge a triumphal arch had been
rrecled. South of the river every
house, no matter how modest, had a
piece ot bunting flying.
Ilrlllinut Ciivulendc.
Except for the absence of the gold
roach the cavalcade was more brtf
llant than thai ot yesterday, and tho
? lands alone, the route certainly mnde
a brighter appearance. Thoso on Con?

Britain's King, with their daintily
dressed ladles.

battleship Delaware, and his otneors.
These nnvnl visitors were attended by
otilcers of the British'navy und the
navnl attaches of the foreign missions
and embassies. St. George's Hospital,
opposite Constitution Hill, nnd the res?
idences around Hyde Park corner nno
rircndllly were hidden by stands oc?

side by side with men and women
who hud paid enormous prices tor

guests of Special American Ambassa?
dor Hammond. These included tne
Duchess of Argyll, the special ambas?
sador's stuff in full uniform; members
of the American embassy und many
American women.
The early morning was nnno too
pleasauti. so far as the weather was
concerned-. Tli'e. sky was overcast, and
'occasional drizzling showers kept tne
spectators In doubt whether It woulrt
be necessary to raise their umbrellas,
liowever, there, were no heavy show
! crs as In the enrly hours yesternny,
' and those taking part in the proces?
sion drove In open carriages, thus add?
ing much Interest to the pageant.
Wonderful Dlnplny.
Almost exnetly at the appointed hour
the colonial and Indian contingents,
which wore, to lend the way over the
jseven-milo route, formed on Victoria
Embankment and proceeded up the
?Mall, past Buckingham Palace, to Con?
stitution Hill anil Hyde Park corner.
Jt was n wonderful display of soldiery
that preceded the carriages, exhibiting
fill tho cavalry uniforms of the empire.
A contingent of Canadians escorted
the first carriage, occupied by Sir Wil?

,the governors and commissioners of
^mailer colonies, each escorted by
jtroops from their respective countries.
They were followed by the ever-pop
Ular troops, the Northwest mounted po?
lice, and an African force organized
jon similar linos. Tho colonials, in
iroyal carriages and wearing uniforms
end decorations, came next, and were
cheered all along the lino nnd with os
peclal vigor when thoy passed the
stands occupied by fellow colonials.
For piciuresqueiiess, the Indian soc
.. tlon, next In line, could not be excelled
nny where In the world. The Indian
cavalry, In the most gorgeous silken
uniforms and turbans, wearing medals
won on the field of battle, preceded the
carriages, in which were tho ruling
Indian princes and potentates. The
latter were fairly weighted down with
Jewels of enormous value. Their cos?

The royal procession was madt up
much ns on yesterday, though some?
what longer, as It Included many who
before were In attendance at West?
minster Abbey. In advance was a long
line of troopers and olllccrs. Indian, co?
lonial and llritish. all brilliantly uni?
formed. A drizzling rain fell as the
royal carriage, drawn by eight cronm
colorcd steeds, slowly came up Consti?
tution Hill, but it did not dampen the
enthusiasm of the crowds, who were
there to give tho sovereigns their tlrst
welcome since coronation day.
The King wore a field marshal's uni?
form with a sash of the Order of the
Garter.
The Queen was dressed in while,
and more a blue snsh of the order or
the Garter. Her hnt wns trltnmca
with ostrich feathers lit iwo siiaaes
of blue. From end to end of tho long
route Their Majesties received a nol
uble spontaneous and loyal welcome.
Following the sovereigns was a car?
riage containing the Duke of Con?
naught and the Duchess, princes, gen?
erals and olllcers of state, Including,
the Furl of Cirnnnrd, the Duke of Nor?
folk and military attaches, among
them Major S. L. II. Slocum, of tne
American embassy. The procession
stopped at Waterloo Palat-o to receive
an address from the council of West?
minster Abbey und at other points to
accept addresses from locnl civic
bodies.
Winston Spencer Churchill, as home
secretary, attended theso ceremonies,
accepting the address for the King,
und delivering to the King mo reply
which lie was to make.
Elaborate Ccremouy.
At Temple Bar there was a more
elaborate ceremony. Here the Cord
Mayor of Condon afoot, and the sheriffs
on horseback, nwnited the coming of
Their Majesties, and upon their ar?
rival surrendered to the King the city's
pearl sword. His Majesty simply touch?
ed the hill as a sign of his acceptance,
the Cord Mayor then receiving back
the sword as Lord Mayors have done
for mnny years. The Lord Mayor then
remounted, and with the Bherlffs. Join?
ed tho procession, continuing with It
until It reached tho city boundary nl
London Bridge. As tho sovereigns pass?
ed through the centre of the city mil?
lions of lights arranged for illumina?
tions simultaneously wore turned on
and the great crowd about the royal
exchange redoubled its cheers. On the
other side of London Bridge the King
was In one of his many home districts,
or rather his former home, for hero, es
the -tike of Cornwall, he was the
lnrgest ground landlord.
In their address, the southern
boroughs referred to the Improvements
which tho King had made In the build?
ings of the estate, which is occupied
by the poorer classes.
Replying, His Majesty paid a tribute
to the work done by the Borough Coun?
cil to Improve the conditions of the
people, nnrt promised that tho duchy
would continue to do Its share.
All through South London and back
again through Westminster, White Hall
and tho Mall, to Buckingham Palace,
crowds filled the stands that lined the
route, and cheered heartily the appear?
ance of Their Majesties.
A stirring day closed with an out?
burst on the part of troops und the
people in the vicinity of Buckingham
Palace similar to the spontaneous dem?
onstration made when the sovereigns
showed themselves on the balcony oi"
the palace upon their return from the
coronation ceremony at the Abbey yes?
terday.

OUTLINES HIS SCHEME
Tax on Automobiles Would
Bring in Funds for \
Highway?.
Washington." D. C, Juno 23.?Esti?
mating that one out of live oC tho 500,
000 automobiles In use In this country
is employed in Interstate travel. Sen?
ator Simmons, ot North Carolina, to?
day expressed the opinion lit a speech
in tho Senalo that $1,000,000 nnnuully
win be raised for the Improvement of
wagon roads by imposing a license fee
of $10 each on such machines. He also
prophesied that the Improvement of
the roads would have tho effect of
greatly Increasing nnloniobllo travel/
and therefore of Irihnaclng the fund.
Tho proposition for an Interstate;laic
on autos Is embraced In a blU whlcri
the North Carolina Senator is the au?
thor and which purposes the appropria?
tion of $1,000,000 annually for tho bene?
fit of the roads on which tho rural
malls are carried. Mr. Simmons con?
tended for the equity of the general
scheme because of tho use of the roads
by the government, and also because
of tho benefit that would accrue to tho
farmers of the country.
Tho nrgument was ndvnnced that tho
nationnl government was under ns
great obligation to old the farmers as
to aid other classes nnd manufactur?
ers. The Western railroads and rivers
and harbors were, mentioned ns in?
stances of the benefit of government
nld.
"We have," tho Senator said, "the
finest railways in the world nnd the
poorest highways. Tho government
hns helped to build these railroads and
develop this splendid system of long
distance transportation. Why should
It not help to build tho equally impor?
tant system of short distance transpor?
tation, the country highways,' over
which the products of the farm must
be. hauled before they reach those na?
tional highways?"
Mr. Simmons said that ot the 2.150,000
miles of dirt roud tho country was
using 1,000,000 In carrying the mulls,
and contended Ihnt It was under obli?
gation to the furmers to aid in main?
taining them. Tho saving mndo by a
general Improvement of the highways
was placed at $10,000,000 to $15,000,000
annually. lie estimated thut tho proper
Improvement of tho wagon roads would
save the farmers $300.ooo,OOo to $400,
000,000 In tho cost of trnnsportlng their
crops. Concluding, Mr. Simmons said:
"Snail tho government, having so au?
spiciously started upon the work of
reclaiming the grent nnd honorable
calling of agriculture from the drudg?
ery to which conditions had condemned
It. now halt and hesitate to do the one
thing needful to restore it to Its right?
ful position of primacy among the great
Industries of tho nation? I hope not,
I think not, and I had almost said I
know It will not."
His Running Mate Will Be Mar?
shall, of Indiana, Is Fowler's
Prophecy.
[Special to The TImes-Dlspateh. ]
Washington, June 23.?Former Con?
gressman Fowler, of New Jersey, a
strong man on tho Republican side of
the House for many years, believes the
Democratic ticket next year will be
Wilson and Marshall for first 'and sec?
ond place respectively.
"To my mind the Democratic tleitet
next year will bo Woodrow Wilson, of
New JoiTicy. for President, and Thomas
A. Marshall, of Indiana, for Vice
President, is the Fowler prediction.
"The Democrats for once seem to
be playing good politics." continued
Fowler, "and I gel It not only from
New Jersey, but In Now York and
from visitors who vote In tho far West
that our Governor Is taking well with
the Democrats. No ono ever question?
ed the solid hacking that Wilson will
have from his own State. The Jersey
Democrats arc really fond of Wilson
personally, nnd will give us Republi?
cans something to think about. How?
ever, wo need not worry. President Tnft
Is going ahead In a way that appeals
to the American people, nnd he will
win. lie win carry New Jersey and
Now York, nnd nflcr all we might os
well come back to tho old proposition
that tho Republlcnn party muct carry
Now York to bo sure of the election of
a President. There may bo some trou?
ble In tho Western States over reci?
procity and other issues, but a year
will work many changes In those
Stales.
"There has been such a steady,
healthful sort of turning toward Pres?
ident Taft In the Inst few months that
wo cannot but udmiro tho ease and
tact with which he has handled things,
both In tho. affairs of tho government
and in politics. There was some coni
plnlnt thnt ho was hot much or a
politician, but If that Is so, ho has
some mighty clover politicians around
I blm, and they ore not overlooking
much.

What la ahead of use next year. First
of all, we may have something; more
than usual to contend with lr Wilson
Is tho Democratic nomlnco toi- Presi?
dent, but wo wclcomo that sort or
trouble. Thon n now law has been
jmssed for primary nominations, not
only of State olllcers, but wo must
nomluato our' candidates for presi?
dential electors by primary In each
congressional district, along with the
candlduto Tor Congress. Tho two elec?
tors nt largo must bo nominated the
snmo way. This will bo a bit cum?
bersome, perhaps, compared with the
old convention process, but It Is a law,
tnaiiks to a uepubllcan^ Stale Senate,
Woodrow Wilson nnd a constdorubio
public sentiment. Tho election of del?
egate* lo the national convention ami j
the State convention will also . bo by
tho primary method, and It goes with?
out saying that' Woodrow Wilson win
win the Democratic delegates easily
enough when he goes beioro tho
people.
"Anyhow, Wilson has trimmed that
old Iiemoerntlc machine in Jersey to
a frazzle, nnd tho Republicans rather
enjoy some features of It. Don't worry
about Jersey Republicans. They will
come nlong next year solid for Presi?
dent Tuft. We have had no other
thought, a,nd It is worth whllo Just now
to think of some good Eastern Repub?
lican, either from New York or New
Jersey, to bo Iho vice-presidential can?
didate.
"Mr. Sherman announced at tho time
of lits nomination at Chicago that he
would not be a candidate for a second
term, nnd he Is e man who means what
he says. Some one in tho New York or
New Jersey delegation may develop
before the convention meets, and It
seems to be the proper thing to pick
Hie candidate tor 3ccond place from
the East, New York preferred."

Always falls on his feet.

Fellow workmen In the painting
trade call Evun Shermon, who Is fifty
years old, nnd lives nl No. 22 West
121st Street, "Nine-Lives Dutchie," nnd
ills old schoolmates dubbed him "Kilty,
the Human Cat," both sohriquots hav?
ing to do with Shermon's ability to fnll
from heights varying from ten to 100
feet without hurting himself. Ho him?
self estimates that he has had nhout
100 falls, but ho shows himself with?
out a scratch, and is sure that he Isn't
going to din that way.
Fall or 1110 Feet.
He fell eight stories yesterday from
tho Scott & Brown building, near the
Brooklyn Bridge, nhout 160 feet. But
he wns still the "Human Cat" of youth,
for lie landed on the llngstone3 on his
feet. And it wasn't because of Injuries
that he went lo St. Gregory's Hospital.
His trousers were torn nnd ho went lo
the hospital to wait till another pair
was sent him. Ills ltn-ios wer-i some?
what bnrlsed and one hand lacerated.
He was standing on tho outer sill ot
n window In the eighth story when he
slipped and pitched out Into the air.
Cries of horror nrose from those who
snw him from t.he street, and they
turned their heads away to avoid the
sight of seeing the. man killed. Bui
"Nine-Lives Dutchie" saw on his way
down some, telegraph wires, and ho
grabbed for one. Ho caught It, but
his weight tore the wire from h's
garsp.. However, this net broke his
fall. He landed on his feet and punk
to his knees. For a little while he wns
stunned, but when the. ambulance got
there he was silling up.
Began by Fnlllng From High Cliulr.
"I've been falling ever since I can
remember," said Shermon. "I started
by falling out of my high chair. When
I was a boy th<i othor boys called me
'Kitty, the Human Cat.' I was nlways
climbing up somewhere and falling n
good part of the time. I have fallen
out of fruit trees about twenty-five
times, I guess. I hnvo toppled oft barns
or out of the liny lofts about twenty
times, too. I've fallen oft fences about
thirty times, off boats six and bicycles
eighteen. '
"Only two weeks ago I tumbled off
the fourth story of a building, and I
wasn't a bit hurt.,, I've hnd so much
practice that I've kind of got the knack
of falling on my feet, liko tho pussy
cats do."
The human tumble-bug said that
during ills fall yesterday he had his
faculties with him all tho way.
"When I started to shoot down t
kind of got a hunch that my good luck
in the past wasn't going to desert me,"
Shermon explained. "But this was sure
the biggest fall I ever got. You bet my
brain was.working fast."

Washington, D. C. June 23.?That Hoka
Knill h. of Georgia, will In the near future
appear In Washington as the new Senator
from that State la the story that reached
this city to-day. There la considerable In?
terest In the Senate as to who will succeed
Senator Terrell, who was appointed by "Hi?
ll? Joe" Drown
It la understood thai the Democratic Pro?
gressives In Washington haveTndlcoted, their
wish that Governor Smllh be sent here. It
is felt that he Is needed at this Juncture.
Senator Bacon nominally Is taking no part,
but Is accounted a strong Fmlth supporter,
because he does not want Kmlih bobbing up
at some future date as a randtdnte to
trtouhl? him. The Terrell Intluence will not
ho strong In tho. Georgia Legislature when
Ihat body meets'next week. Is the way tho
situation Is sized up by Georgians here the.
last day or two. This Is taken to mean that
Smith will win In a walk.
