SIDE.
Coronation Activities Stir London.
London, June 19.—All London Is
now In curl papers, awaiting the gar
geous spectacles ot tne coronation.
, / ' : "he present aspect of the town is
' .ether topsy-turvy, but a day or two
mbre of work on the decorations la
expected to transform everything.
At present the sight and smell of
many miles of new timber flung
against a normal gray background
make the metropolis a strang place
even to its own inhabitants. As rap
idly as the huge grand stands are
completed they are brightly draped
und beflagged. Most ot the private
decorations, especially the costly and
elaborate set pieces, have been cov
ered with waterproof cloth to protect
them from rain, and until these cov
erings are removed it is impossible
to divest the town pf its curl paper
appearance.
' Crowds Already Enormous.
There lq no longer any douht as
to the popnlar attitude toward the
coronation festivities. The enorm
ous and growing crowds and the ba
bel of foreign tongues give unmista
kable evidence of the public Interest
Sr 'n the event. . Every day this week
has'seen crowds traversing the route
of the procession to view the decora
tions. Aristocratic equipages ot the
| wtalthy, the humble' market cart
f of the coster and his family, breaks
carrying tourists ot every national
ity, are driven over the routes, while
on the sidewalks are dense masses of
slowly moving pedestrians. There
are many provincial folk in town,
and every arriving train Is adding
to the crowds. In Trafalgar Square
apd in some of the • thoroughfares
fending from that point the conges-
gestlon was so great today that the
omnibuses found it almost impossible
to proceed.
American Visitors Not So Numerous.
Visiting Americans are largely In'
evidence at some of the leading ho
tels, but the talk of ait unprecedent-
• ed number of visitors from the other
side of the water, Is all bosh.
Londoners whose business con
stantly brings them In contact with
. the tourist classes one and all de
clare that there are not so many
Americans In England now as at this
time a year ago. This statement Is
borne out by the opinions of the
steamship officials; who declare that
Mple accommodations could
found on any liner leaving New
York, Boston or Philadelphia so far
tide summer. The preliminary scare
about the danger of overcrowding
may have kept some ot the Amerl
cans away. All the best hotels com-
sl-ialn that their regular American
guests did not come this year. The
proprietors do not appreciate the of
ficial and other guests ot all nation
alities who have taken their places.
Many Canadians on Hand.
The statements regarding the ab
sence of American visitors do not ap
ply, however, to the Canadians, ft
does not take a very observant eye
to detect the fart that visitors from
Canada are more numerous In Lon
don today than ever before. Parti
from Montreal, Toronto, Halifax, Ot
tawa, and from Winnipeg, Vancouver
and other cities of the West are to
he fonnd registered at nearly every
hotel. The Dominion premiers and
parliamentarians, with the official
guests from the other colonies, are
being elaborately entertained. To
day the parliamentary visitors, near
ly all of whom are accompanied by
their wives and families, became tbs
guests of the nation and during the
earning three weeks they will be en
tertained as such. Tonight they dine
at the Waldorf hotel and tomorrow
evening they will be the guests ot
the Royal Automobile Club at a sup
per and reception. The formal lunch-
SLAYER OF TONY VOIt
PURL CALLED TO TRIAL
Frank Henwood, at Denver,
, is Accused of Shooting
Down Three Men.
Denver, Colo., June 19.—The case
of Frank H. Henwood, who on May
24 shot down three men in the-bar
room of the Brown Palace hotel, was
called for trial today. Henwood's
victims were Sylvestor ("Tony”)
von Puhl, who had a national reputa
tion as an aeronaut; O. E. Copeland,
a mining man ot Victor, Cold., and
J. W. Atkinson, a wealthy contractor
of Colorado Springs. Von Puhl and
Copeland died of their wounds, while
Copeland la, on the road to recovery.
Henwood is to be tried first on a
charge of murdering Puhl, who was
tbe object ot his attack. Copeland
and Atkinson were bystanders and
had no part In the quarrel. The
trouble between von Puhl and Hen
wood la said to have originated over
rivalry for a woman's favor. The
woman In the case Is said to be the
w-.fe of a prominent Denver banker.
Since the tragedy the husband has
applied for a divorce.
BAPTISTS OF
WHOLE WOR
GOV. BROWN TO MAKE
El
It is Said That he will Sug
gest a Highway Commission
Among Other Things
Atlanta, June 19.—Two important
recommendations will be made, It Is
stated, in Governor Brown’s message
to the legislature when it meets
next Wednesday.
One will urge tha^gUbllshment
of a state highway <U- fcifsicm.
The Other’Will point the necessity
of ^an appropriation.. to adequately
Insure the state capitol and the rec
ords it contains from loss by Are.
At present not a cent of insur
ance is carried on the capitol proper,
the only item being (40,000 for the
library. Legislatures have failed .to
Insure tbe capitol, It Is said, because
It Is a so-called "fireproof" building,
but many of the Interior rooms are
wood-finished, and, for Instance. In
the secretary of state's offices, the'
records are not kept In vaults nnd a
fire gutting this room would be dis
astrous. i
The highway commission idea has
been endorsed by the Georgia Feder
ation of Road Authorities, and by
practically every local organization
in the etate Interested in the good
roads movement.

Elaborate Police Precautions.
The police are taking the most
elaborate precautions to prevent
panic or other catastrophes on the
days of the big parades. The pos
sibility of fire in some of the mam
moth grand stands along the route
has been given the utmost consider
ation. Almost everywhere are hand
grenades galore, while fire extin
guishers are freely distributed about.
It is probable that the police will fol
low tbe same plan adopted at the
last coronation, of erecting strong
barriers at the converging streets no
as to prevent any enormous crush of
people. The entire route of the pro
cession will be lined with soldiers.
The usnal calculations for lining the
streets with sodlers Is 10,000 troops
