But Over All the Ancient Capi
tal the Holiday Spirit .
Prevails.
London, Juno 19.—Thin ancient cap
ital threw open ita arms to the ‘royalty
of other nations today and coronation
week was ushered In with an enthu
siasm that dull, threatening weather
was not able to dimlnlah.
Every member of the reigning families
of other European powers was given
a hearty welcome. The holiday spirit
prevailed everywhere. Buckingham
palace and other places where the royal
Quests were housed were surrounded
bv cheering crowds that gathered as
| soon as the. sun had risen. .
First Royal Quest.
The first -royal guest to arrive was
Prince Henry of Russia, who was offi
cially welcomed at the station and driv-,
en In state thru the streets to Bucking
ham palace. Crown Prince Frederick
William, of Germany, and the crown
princess, who had reached Sbeemeaa on
board the German cruiser Von Der-
Tann yesterday, arrived at nodn.
John Hays Hammond, the American
envoy, will arrive this evening, his
coming officially opening America's part
In the coronation ceremonies. Mr.
Hammond will attend the king's recep
tion and banquet tonight and there will
meet the representatives of other gov
ernments and King George.
Prince Henry, of the Netherlands,
arrived oft Sheemess on board the
Dutch man-of-war Gelderland and hur
ried on to London.
Several lesser German royalties were
next to arrive. All were given an offl-
' Clal welcome by the Duke and Duchess
of Connaught. . .
Orest Fleet Arriving.
While the crowds In London were
being kept on the qul vlve by the steady
arrival of royal visitors, the great fleet
that will be reviewed by the king and
I queen after the coronation, was as-
1 sembllng off Portsmouth. Six foreign
■ vessels arrived this morning, and after
being saluted and aalutlng In turn,
! anchored at Bplthead.
' Coronation week was Inaugurated to.
day to And London a gigantic butterfly
from the multi-colored decoratlona.
Hundreds of thousands of strangers
thronged the streets. Scotland Yard
has already found It necessary to put
ths extra policing system Into use. The
central part of the city lying between
Buckingham palace and Westminster
Abbey Is one continuous stadium with
temporary seats erected for the corona
tion display.
Ceretnonlea to Cost $950,000.
Ths weather today was cloudy and
threatened rain, which would, of course,
spoil the elaborate decorations of the
publlo and private buildings. Some of
the draperies hung limp as a result of a
shower yesterday, but the rain was not
hard enough to do extensive damage.
The Anal touches were put to the plans
for the coronation today. From a point
of cost, the coronation of King George
will set a new mark. It Is estimated
that ths caramonles slone will cost the
British government $950,000, which Is
approximately $>01,000 more than the
coronation of King Edward.

the royal gueata from abroad. Eight
tons of Windsor gold plate will he used
at the banquet. The guests will Include

Rome, June 19.—Wearied by hie labor

swooned today. He rallied quickly
from the fainting (It, but the condition
of hie health is causing grave anxiety

Wsshingtqp. June 19.—Details of the
vaat profits engineered by Henry Have-
meyer in the amalgamation of sugar
refineries were'furnished the house
committee Investigating the sugar
trust today by James Post, president
of the National Sugar Refining Com
pany.
Mr. Poet eald that he was formerly
Interested with Howell Sons A ' Co,
which owned the Delaware sugar house.
This house, he eald, was sold to ths
sugar trust for $300,000, the stockhold
ers receiving about three for one on
their holdings.
Mr. Post flatly denied, however, the
allegations made by the government In
Its bill against the sugar trust that
Poet, Frederick Howell, D. Mollen-
haueer and Henry O. Havemeyer had
entered Into an agreement In 1894. to
limit the output of the various plants
they represented. He also emphatical
ly denied another allegation made by
the government that Post and George
H. Frailer, of the Franklin Sugar Com.
pany, had entered Into an agreement
with W. J.. McCahan whereby the out
put of the McCahan plant was limited
to 50 per cent of Its real capacity.
Mr. Post said that the National Bug
nr Refining Company was organised In
1900 to take over the National Sugar
Company of New Jersey, the New York
Sugar Company and the Mollenhauser
company, and that later the company
purchased about one-fourth Interest in
the McCahan plant, for which $1,250,000
was jiald, which was about thres for
one of the stock. He said that ths
National and the' Mollenhauser con
cerns were on friendly terms, but that
the New York company was Independ
ent at that time.
After falling to bear from Joseph S.
Smith, the Mormon apostle, in response
to a telegram ordering him to appear
before the committee, Chairman Hard,
wick today prepared a formal subpena
for Smith, which has been signed by
Speaker Clark this afternoon. Unless
the Mormon cider telegraphs that hs Is
starting for Washington, the subpena
will be served by .the United States
marshal and Smith will be forced to
oome to Washington. He Is wanted to
tell of the affairs of the Utah-Idaho
Sugar Company and has already mads
three requests that ha be excused.
After the committee had overruled
the objection of Counsel Larkin, Mr.
Post told a remarkable story of how
$10,000,0000 In watered stock had been
Issued at the formation of the National
Sugar Refining Company. Post said
ths watered stock had been Issued to
him and that he had turned It over to
Henry O. Havemeyer, whose estate

WORD
POPE £lU8 X.
Alarm is felt in Catholic circle! throughout the world ever the condi
tion Of the pops. Worn by overwork, ho collapsed Monday. Hs himatlf
believer heart trouble may and his Ilfs at any moment, and his greatest
fear is that he mav die without an opportunity of taring hit beloved sis
ters. Various groups of cardinals discuss the situation.
Pay debts and save money for a rainy
day ore the principles ,on which the
anti-loan shark bank,' which began
operations Monday momlng, proposes
to help the salaried people and wage-
earners of Atlanta, oi. whom there are
15,000 borrowing from loan sharks at
exorbitant rates of Interest., This new
bank—the poor man'a friend—la not
under full headway, but probably will
bd Tuesday. A little business was
transacted Monday. Painters were busy
putting the finishing touches -on the
banking room, 511 Candler building,
which delayed operations. The books
will not be regularly opened and things
running ship-shape for another day.
Throughout ths morning many de
sirous of securing loans of varied small
amounts called at the new bank and
prepared application blank*. Many
others had previously applied for loans
thru letters to President W. Woods
White and other officers. The Interest
shown In the Institution this first day
demonstrates that It will fill a long fell
want of the men of small means and
that they will not be alow ta take ad
vantage of IL
The capital stock of this bank Is
$50,000, the full amount having been
subscribed. One-fourth of the stock
hat been called for, giving a working
capital of $12,500 at the outset The
other three-fourths will be called for as
needed. The weekly payments on loans
that will begin to come In In a few
days will augment the working capital,
so that the money can be turned over
and over as new loans are desired.
Plan Is Simple.
Ths plan of operation for the new
bank la very simple. Suppose a man of
limited means It In debt $100, thru
elckneee, for doctor's bill, drug bill,
groceries, etc. He Is earning $2.60 a
day, or $16 a business week, at his
trade. He sees that $100 debt staring
him In the face. Perhaps his creditors
will cut their bills ten per. cent for
cash. That means >10 saved and a load
of worry lifted from hit mind. He goes
to the anti-shark bank and makes ap
plication for a loan. One or two In
dorsers are required, but he probably
has friends among the butlneis men
who have sufficient confldence In him to
sign his application. The man makes
the required note, agreeing to pay $1 a
week for 50 weeks and reoetves $100,
less SS Interest for a year at S per cent,
or $92 net. At the end of the year he
has paid for two Class C shares of
stock In the bank worth $50 each or
$100—no more, no less. He can sur
render this stock and wipe out his loan
or h* can let the loan run another year,
the stock being collateral security, and
with his weekly payments pay off the
loan and have $100 saved for a rainy
day. The (list year hit stock will have
earned $1 Interest, reducing the cost of
tho lotn to $5. After the first year, if

If Sunday’s rain had been distributed
over the state, Oeorgta would have had
a good soaking, but only about half of
It even got wst. Maybe you think It
rained hard In Atlanta. Well. It did.
when you consider the fact-that It had
been two tnd a halt weeks sine* this
city tnd section had even been sprin
kled. but Atlanta's downpour was not a
circumstance to what Augusta and Sa
vannah had. Macon bad Just a bare trace
and everything south of the Central City
Is still as dry As a bon*.
Officially. Atlanta had .49 Inch of rain
In the twenty-four hours ending at 7
o'clock Monday morning, most of which
fell after 7 o'clock Sunday night. That
rain partially broka ths drouth that
started on June 1. Thus far this month
the weather bureau records show but
Inch of rain, there having been trace* of
moisture to the extent of .30 Inch earlier
In the month. This year's drouth, how
ever, still beats that of June and July,
1S9S, when .7$ Inch of rein came Jo break
It. Indications srs for continued cloudy
tnd showery weather hers two or three
days, whan the backbone of the drouth
will ba severed and green things will be
gin to sprout ones mors.
Ths .49 Inch official record for Sunday
showed the amount of rain falling on ths
gauge on the roof of ths Empire build
ing. In the northern part of the city this
was exceeded In places by probably a half
Inch. For Instance, ths downpour was so
hard out the Peachtree* that a section of
belgfsn block paving was washed out In
West Peachtree-st., at 8lxth-at. In the
south tide of Atlanta It was lighter than
un the official gauge.
Just to show that It really did rain In
Georgia Sunday, here are the records of
s few places: Augusts 1.92 Inches. Sa
vannah 2.54, Toccoa .57 and. Rome. 71.
Macon, as aisled, showed only s bare
trace, and Newnan, LaGrange. West
Point. Columbus and all othar points
south. In the Chattahoochee river basin,
report no rain whatever. The precipita
tion seemed practically confined to the
Savannah river baaln.
"Crop* were helped wonderfully by the
rain which fell yesterday end last night,”
said Captain R. F. Wright, assistant com
missioner of agriculture, Monday morning.
"That rain was certainly a Messing to
Georgia and poasIMy saved thousands of
dollars In her crop*. The corn crop has
been the principal ons to Buffer, from the
recent drouth, but I think the rain came
Just In Urns to save the larger part of It.
"This morning wa have had reports
from some of the sections and they.tell
us that the rain rtntt Just In time. I
know that the crops In this section were
saved by that ralnlslL”
During the coming week the com*
mission government Idea will be dis
cussed so much that Atlanta will be
full of It. And It I* very probable that
the great majority will have decided
what they think of It by the end of the
week. v
General council will begin the dis
cussion Monday afternoon, but this
body, which Is the most formidable part
of the opposition to the commission
plan, won't show Its real hand until tho
commission advocates have made pub
lic their charter. The question of char
ter revision Is now In the hands of a
special committee of council and lta
members are playing the astute politi
cians. The majority of council Is op
posed to commission government and a
vigorous effort will be made to block
the campaign for It by offering a re
vision of the present city charier. But
councllmen are lying low until they see
the new charter.
The Ad Men's club will dlacuaa It
Tuesday night at the meeting In the
Cafe Durand at «:>0 o'clock. There
are also members opposed to commis
sion government In the club and they
will oppose It In the argument Thus a
most Interesting session la expected.
On Thursday night, In ths Audito
rium. William Jennings Bryan will lec
ture on the subject. Besides winning
the title of the Great Commoner, Mr,
Bryan la a recognised authority on
municipal commission government, and
he Is an ardent advocate of it. He It
now lecturing In the South, and Colonel
F. J. Paxon hae received a definite ac
ceptance of the Invitation to come to
Atlanta and apeak on the laaue that haa
suddenly become so vital here.
Committee to Report.
But of most Interest will be the re
port of the committee of five—Robert
F. Maddox, Alex C. King, Charles T.
Hopkins. Julian Harris and Luther H.
Still—on the commission plan charter.
This committee hat practically com
pleted Its work and will present It to
the public the latter part of tho week.
General public comment will bo In-
vlted before the charter 1s presented to
the legislature. The general assembly
will be asked to allow the people to vote
on the new charter at the fall election.
When this committee makes Its re
port, the definite plan of the commis
sion advocates will be known. The de
bate will be taken up In the streets. In
the clube and In the homes. And by
such means the decision of Atlanta on
the new form of government will prac
tically be made by the end of the week.
All the comments on commission
government won't be In favor of the
cause. The plan will be fiercely at- *
tacked at the meeting of general coun
cil. for the majority of members there
are much opposed to It, and there’ll he
thorns among the roses with tho Ad
Men.
With such an Intensely Interesting
project taking final shape. It Is an
epochal week for Atlanta, and one
that should be arousing to the most In
different of men.
