LONDON, March 29. (New Tork World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) King El
Ward baa had great difficulty In Inducing
the archbishop of Canterbury to ahorteo
and simplify th ritual of coronation. In
the first plce. tbe king wished the cere
mony to occupy not more than forty-five
minutes. But Moat Rev. Dr. Temple, sup
ported by other ecclesiastical authorities,
ha Insisted on retaining several ancient
customs, so the ceremony will take ninety
tntnutes.
On one point the king la adamantine. He
absolutely refuse to take communion. This
baa caused the primate deep chagrin, as It
la likely to provoke unfavorable comment,
because it Is common report that the king
never has partaken of the communion ac
cording to the Anglican rite. The bishop?
of Bath and Durham hare Insisted upon
their right to support the crown on the
king's head after coronation, an assistance
(ha king wanted to dispense with.
After prolonged protest from the king, the
primate ha decided that the king must
-avbmlt to being anointed on the breast, also
pn the forehead and chin, with holy oils,
and la having a silt made In the coronation
robes to permit this to be done.
As Queen Alexandra positively refuses
to have her face anointed, the holy oils
are being prepared In the form of a solid
Chrism, like wax, for the primate refused
to forego that part of the rite.
Particular a to Fit Crowa.
Further trouble and delay have been
saused by the queen's fancies In regard to
Ihe color of her coronation robe and the
set of her crown. Thirty crowns of the
Gothic pattern prescribed by the king were
lubmltted to her. but she left for Denmark
without having picked one out.
The removal of the valuable from Marl
borough house to Buckingham palace, where
the king and queen will go into residence
after Banter, la being carried out with ex

Danish Government Repudiates Both as Its
Accredited Agents.
MEN IN ANGER AND ENVY SEEK REVENGE
High Official In Denmark Positively
Hefaie All Claims that Either
Party Influenced the
Kegottatlona.
COPENHAGEN, March 29 in an Inter
view with a representative of the Associated
Press on the subject of Congressman
Richardson's resolution for the appoint
ment of a committee to investigate a charge
made by Captain Christmas, in connection
with the sale of the Danish West Indies, a
high Danish official says:
Neither Christmas nor Gron were ever
given authority to negotiate tor the sale
of the West Indies. They never negotiated
with Washington and have In no way In
fluenced the negotiations. The negotiations
were conducted through Ijiurlie ri. Swen
son, the I'nlted States minister here, and
Constantlne Urun, the Danish minister at
Washington. The Danish government is
under no obligation to any private persons
in connection with the sale. Hence no
commission Is due or will be paid.
The alleged scandal Is the result of a
quarrel between Christmas and Oron. Tre
latter claimed he effected the sale and
that, hence, he wanted a commission.
Christmas made a similar claim, accom-
Banled by a confidential report to the
lanlsh government, containing statements
regarding bribery, etc., as recently pub
lished In Washington.
Gron Becomes Desperate.
Most of the report was printed by the
Danish press some time ago. Gron, seeing
It was hopeless to expect a commission,
started for Washington with Christmas'
report In his pocket, boasting to the anti
sale advocates here that he would be re
venged by influencing congress to decline
to pass the appropriation for the purchase
of the islands.
Before the commencement of the negotia
tions, Christmas and Gron actually tried
to become connected with the matter, as
agents. The then premier. Dr. Horrlng,
gave them some encouragement and private
parties favoring the sale furnished small
amounts for their traveling expenses. Dr.
Horrlng waa indiscreet. He discussed a
commission, but bribery was not suggested.
He and the other parties speedily disco -ered
that tbev hikd heen tmnosed udoii and broke
off their connection with Christmas and
Gron, considering them to be without In
fluence. Christmas haa now been forced to
declare that his report ot bribery waa raise.
Christmas Statea Hla Case.
NEW YORK. March 29. The Daily Mall'e
correspondent la Copenhagen baa bad a talk
with Captain Christmas, who is not the
leasfwatonlshed by the American scandal,
say th London correspondent ' 'of th
Herald. ; v - "
"Tks Danish 'no sale' arty" bs said.
'"hopes to break oft the sale br tha help of
the scandal. For that purpose somebody
stole my confidential report to the govern
ment and engaged a certain person, an
American citizen, to go to Washington to
tart the scandal, by delivering the report
to Representative Richardson and to the
newspaper.
Captain Christmas gave out here on Frl
day a declaration under oath that no mem
ber of the American congress waa either
directly or Indirectly Interested In the sale
of the Danish islands. He say he aent
this declaration to the Foreign office, with
a demand that It be forwarded to the Danish
ambassador. M. Brun, in Washington. It
was also published in all the Danish news
papers without a denial.
Ko Claim on Amerlra.
"I never bad any arrangement about a
provision with any American authority,'
he said. "I have no claim whatever on
America, but on the Danish government for
my work and expenses. The present gov
ernment ha nothing to do with any possi
ble acandal. aa all th arrangement re
garding me and my work were made with
Premier Hoerrlng three yeara ago. when I.
by an order from the American State de
partment, had brought Secretary Henry
White into communication with the Danish
foreign minister, M. Ravn.
'The existing government ha accepted
the present situation from their predeces
sor. Mm. Ahested and Hoerrlng, and has
never blamed me with a word for anything
I have done.
"It aeems to me that the 'no sale' party

I had connived at my own abduction.
"Yes, Macedonia la a very troubled state.
It Is seething. What I going to happen
I cannot say. The government must settle
who 1 to make amenda for our capture.
"Throughout my captivity I felt the hand
of God guiding and protecting me. Why
people are so anxioua to aee me and hear
what I have got to aay puxzles me. If I had
done something myself I could understand;
but, I was only an unwilling agent In the
Incident, which. I hope and pray, will
eventually benefit tha work of the gospel
In Bulgaria and Turkey."
Miss Stone I staying at a frlend'a house,
where she ba so far, successfully evaded
a amall army ot reportera who had been
acourlng London In search of her. While
ah talked, Misa Stone constantly played
with her umbrella and started nervously at
any noise. Th lines in ber face show the
anxiety she ba gone through.
Ray Stannard Baker, who brought Misa
Stone from Sslonlra to London, said to th
representative of the Associated Press:
The interest Miss Stone created was ex
traordinary. All through Turkey and Servla
the crowda waiting at the station pressed
around the car in the hope of seeing Mis
Stone. Some of the newspaper men came
tn. talked with her and bade ner lareweu.
Until we got to Servla the most stringent
precautions were taken by the officials to
prevent a repetition of the kidnaping.
One of the most Interesting parting
scenes was the baptism of the Tsllka baby
last Sunday. The ceremony took place In
Mr. Houses' little Bulgarian chapel at Sa
lonlca. Miss Stone became god-mother and
the baby was named the Belgian equiva
lent for Ellen.
It will be a long time before Miss Stone
recovers from the effects of her captivity.

CLUB WOMEN APPEAL TO KNOX
Ask Attorney Gcnernl fo Define L,e
arallty of Coler Ques
tion. CHICAGO. March 29. The attorney gen
eral of the I'nlted State will be called
urou to determine whether the club women
ran make discrimination upon race, color
or previous condition of eervitude. A com
mittee of Chicago club women was ap
pointed todav to ask Attorney General
Knox about the constitutionality of what
the general federation propose to do at
Los Ans-eles.
This committee represents the moat In
Duentlal clubs in Chicago. Within the last
year the congress ot the Vnlted States ha
era n ted the YJeneral Federation of Women's
Clubs special corporation papers. This
charter provide for the organization of
women' club engaged in philantrophlc,
educational or charitable work, or In
literary, art or music culture. Thpre are
specific provision against political and re
ligions discriminations. The question .now
arirrs whether, tfte. rluhs arehnuoHto oh
serve th constitutional provision lu regard
to race, color and previous condition of
servitude.
Mrs. R. A. Cole of Milwaukee la the
woman who oroDosed the appeal to At
tornev General Knox. She is ot the opinion
that this will throw the whole color ques
tion out of consideration at the Loa Angeles
meeting.
The federation proposes to reorganise, she
ays, and In doing so, must remember that
It will have to consult congress, which
(ranted the charter In the present form.
That would at once raise the question, she
believes, whether clubs would have the
riant under the constitution to authorize a
national federation should It recognize race
and color.

the telephone line broke down and aa Big

about the trouble until tomorrow.
Trouble has been brooding tn the upper
Green river country for some time. Sev
eral years ago the cattlemen of the regtoa
drew a dead-line around a certain traot of
range, which la said to be the finest feed
ing ground In the Rocky mountains, and
Issued warnings to sheepmen to stay away.
Local flockmasters obeyed tba mandate, tor
they knew that If they crossed th line their
sheep would be turned back or slaughtered.
But nomadic herds were frequently pushed
Into the forbidden territory, with the re
sult that flocks were driven oat, some
sheep were slaughtered, herders wer ahot
at and wounded, and sheep wagon and
outfits were destroyed.
Old Fenda Revived.
Last spring John Butterfleld and a com
panion herder were at'acked by masked
men. Both were wounded and on waa
crippled for life. November Tom Ryaa

of a Salt Lake City outfit, were ahot at
and run out of the country, their aheep
were slaughtered and the camp outfit waa
destroyed.
As feed 1 getting acarc and tha range

aheepmen, driven to desperation, will fight
It out t the bitter and with th cattle
men, who. It la claimed, have no mora
right to th rang than tbe flockmasters,
for it is government domain chiefly. Fur
