BEGIN REHEARSAL
FOR CORONATION
Britons Drilling for Paris The
AretoTake in Ceremony.
SLUMP IN PRICES FOB SEATS.
Four American Women, Aside From
Peeresses, to Witness Crowning of
King George and Queen Mary In
Westminster Abbey, June 22.
London, June 12. Actual rehearsal
' tf coronation ceremonies began last
week in Westminster abbey. All the
participants are to be drilled in de
tails ol what to do, just as in a stage
performance, and the king and queen
v Mil familiarize themselves with the
rubric, so as to insure that the cere
monial on June 22 will go forward
without a hitch.
Meanwhile, the whole line of the
route of royal progress is being
fringed with stands, which will afford
seating space for 750,000 spectators.
An interesting question has arisen,
whether in many cases the erection of
these stands, blocking the view of
owners and tenants of houses, is legal,
and several actions at law are on the
carpet. Still more certain is the fact
that the slump in prices asked for
points of vantage along the route
ebows no signs of 'recovery.
There are just four American wom
en outside those who have married
peers who will see King George and
Queen Mary crowned and there are
grievous heartburnings because of it.
Of course there are thousands of
American women who will see their
majesties on the way to and from the
abbey, but just these are to have the
privilege of witnessing the ceremony
of the coronation Itself:
Mrs. John Hays I.immond, wife of
President Taft'i special ambassador,
Mrs. Whltelaw Reid, wife of the am
bassador; Mrs. John Ward, formerly
Miss Jean Reid, whose husband Is an
fflclal of the coronation, and Mrs.
William Phillips, whose 'husband is
charge d'affaires at the American em
bassy. Women of American birth, who are
now British peeresses, who will be In
attendance at the abbey, are: Duchess
of Manchester, Lady Decles, Lady
O&rrlngton, Viscountess Maidstone,
duchesa of Roxbury, marchioness of
Dufferin, countess of Ancaster, count
ess of Esse, Lady Ctievliesmore,
countess of Granard, countess of Tan
kenrtlle. countess of Suffolk, I.dy
Abinger, Lady Ritchie, countess of
Donoughmore, Lady Monson, Lady
Lelth of Fyvle, Lady Newborough and
Lady Paget.

Southampton, Kngland, June 12.
The White Star line yielded to the de
mands of the seamen and agreed to

TEACHER'S FEE LAW RULING
Pedagogues Not Required to Pay for
Entrance to County Normal.
Des Moines, June 12. The attorney
general in a long opinion handed
down an interpretation of the Cowles
Kitter bill, passed by the last legis
lature. This bill provides for the operating
Of teacher?' normal institutes In all
Uie counties of the state. The nu-as
ure aiso provides, that all persons do
siring to teach shall contribute a lee
01 $1 to maintain the Institutes.
Thu meaning of the phrase, "desire
13 teach," bothered the state superin
tendent County superintendents nil
aver the state were sending in letters
to him asking for an Interrelation of
the clause.
After careful perusal of the Cowles
Ritter law the attorney general's de
partment Is of the opinion that evi
dence of the desire of any persou to
teach school la the application for a
certificate to teach. Hence he holds
that all persons who apply for teach
ers' certificates must pay the $1 fee
It Is not necessary to pay this fee
upon enrollment In the normnl insti
tute. The attorney general holds fur
ther that the payment of but one fee
rovers enrollment and the application
for a certificate to teach.
By reason of a misunderstanding as
to when the law becomes effective
about forty normal Institutes have
been postponing their date of opening
until nn interpretation of the law
could be had.
This was useless for the reason that
the act does not become effective un
til July 4.
MRS. GOOD ALLOWED
$25,000 ALIMONY
Remarkable Divorce Case in Ply
mouth County Ends Quickly.
LeMnrs, la., June 12. The divorce
case of Codd vs. Codd was on trial be
fore Judge Gaynor In the district
court and Mrs. Codd was granted a de
tree of absolute divorce and $25,000
permanent alimony. This case has at
tracted more than the ordinary
amount of attention because of the
prominence of the parties, the large
property interests Involved and the
sensational character of much of the
evidence given to show cruel and In
human conduct on the part of the de
fendant. The defendant did not con
test the granting of th? divorce, but
was represented by attorneys In the
property settlement.
The trouble between husband and
wife began years ago, shortly after
their marmge, and was never forgot
ten or forgiven by him . From that
time, according to the testimony, he
never permitted his wife !n his pres
ence when avoidable and compelled
her to live npart in a separate house.
HOLDING OFF ON RECIPROCITY
Effort in Iowa to Find Out How News
papers Stand.
De? Moines, June 13. An effort is
being made now to ascertain the per
sonal sentiments of the various editors
Of newspapers In Iowa In regard to
next year's political contest and they
are being aslfd to send In a statement
as to whether they ar? for or against
the national administration in the mat
ter of the reciprocity bill pending In
congress. Ex-Senator Lafe Young has
denied the accuracy of the poll of the
Chicago Tribune, in which it was
found that there were a majority of
the newspaper editors In sympathy
with the reciprocity measure. There
fore, a new poll Is being made. The
fact is that a grent majority of the
newspapers of the state, especially the
weekly par-TS. have not taken an;
very derided stand on the question
but have been content to wait until n
later time before ac ting. The genera
disposition among the editors of lie
publican papers has been to lenve the
matter to congress and not to under
take to st Ir up the people on a matter
conrernlng which they are not as yet
fully advised. As to whether a new
poll will show that the editors of the
state are opposed to the administra
tion program is a debatable question
and there Is great Interest being .taken
In the Inquiry.

original commitment. President Taft

RULING Oil
LIQUOR LAW
Walters Cannot Bring Drinks In
lor Patrons o! Gates.
IOWA TEST CASE IS DECIDED.
Supreme Court Holds It Is Unlawful
for a Waiter'to Serve Liquor, Even
When Proprietor Is Not Concerned
In the Transaction.
Des Moines, June 12. No more din
uers with wine in the cafe of Iowa,
under an opinion hauded down by the
supreme court.
In a test case brought out of Sioux
City to determine the legality of just
such affairs, the high court ruled that
liquor cannot be handled in cafes in
any manner.
The action in question was brought
by H. H. Sawyer against L. H. Frank
and Eliza A. Richardson. It was tried
on an agreed statement of facts. The
sum and substance of the agreement
upon which the action was based was
that Frank ran a restaurant and that
his waiters had been In the habit of
going to a nearby saloon and purchas
ing liquor for patrons of the restau
rant. In these proceedings the pro
prietor of tho restaurant had no part
and made no profit. The patrons gave
the waiter the necessary amount of
money to buy the drinks and the lat
ter secured the liquor and delivered it
at the table This is a practice In a
majority of the larger cafes In the
state.
The high court knocked out this
custom by quoting a section of the liq
uor law which declares that no person
can sell, barter, trade or dispense
liquor except those who have com
plied with all the provisions of the
liquor laws of tho state.
In the opinion of the supreme court
the restaurant keeper was dispensing
liquor when he permitted his guests
to send the waiters out after It.
This act In itself was sufficient to
make the restaurant guilty of main
tafnlng a liquor nuisance, states the
opinion.
