LONDON. Aug. 9. (New Tork Y.'orrd Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) The leading
firms on the London Stock exchange have
petitioned the government to prosecute
j Whittaker Wright, the promoter ef ths Lon
don Globe manes group. In which the
late Lord DuSerln was concerned.
The group resulted In a loss of over
1110,000 to the stockholders and tt has been
shown that the accounts were falsified,
thst ths dividends were paid out of the
capital and that all manner of fraudulent
transactions wars carried on.
The reluctance of the authorities to
prosecute Is causing great aurprlse and
Indignation. It has boea suggested that
they are Influenced In refraining from
prosecuting by the fact that the duks of
Connaught was largely Interested in Whit

The persons moving for proaecu'.ion have
received an anonymous communication
that their action Is causing great anxiety

The gunboat Crete-a-Plerrot, which la In

the city, and cruised around outside the
harbor. The residents are much fright

the protection afforded by the presence of
the United States gunboat Machlaa, Com
mander McCrss having taken all measures
necessary ta protect as much as poaatble
the Uvea and property of foraignera here.
, WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. Tha Navy de
partment this morning received the follow

the gunboat Machlaa, dated Cape Haytlen,
August 9:
- "Haytlan gunboat landed force Cape
Haytlen, on Friday afternoon. An en
gagement Is hourly expected. Will be ready
to land."
Commander McCrea la under general In-
structlona to protect American Interests
and In addition, yesterday, received spe
cial Instructions to prevent the cutting of
the cable of the United States Haytlen
company. This la not a French company,
as referred to yesterday, but is eieariy aa
American company, and part of the Com
mercial Cable company's system. .
Commander McCrea will confine himself
etrlctly to that mission and will not take
aides either for or against the de faoto gov.
eminent. Great oonfldeoce Is reposed In
the eool-headedneea of Commander McCrea
and no fresh Instructions were considered
necessary. Machlaa has a complement of
about 130 men. Including a marine guard of
twelve, and could land a force of about
fifty men alt told.
A Colt rapid-fire gun which It haa aboard
could be sent ashore with a landing party.
Machlaa haa eight 4-Inch guns in its mala
battery, four 0-poundera and two 1-pound-era
in its secondary battery, all rapid-fire,
and under the threat of these guns it le
quite unlikely that either the Haytlen gun

Acting Secretary of the Navy Darling to

Founder's mile record of El 4-6 seconds

Mr. Vanderbilt said to the World cor

shall not rest until I succeed In maintain

Automobiles as now built ought to be
able to travel eighty or ninety miles an
hour easily, givsn proper roads and proper
handling. The trouble with chauffeurs Is
that their experience has not yet been
sufficiently varied. Most of the break
downs are from some mistake during the
excitement, caused by high speed.
"When I return I shall make every effort
to Induce the American automobile clubs
to adopt ths kilometer Instead of ths mile,
for besides being much easier to measure,
It would familiarise tbe- people with the

in which she bad lived at 4310 Calumet

ColncSJent with the findine of tha hnfl.
the police redoubled their efforts to find
the missing son, William Bartholin, .who
Is also auspected of the murder of Miss
Minnie Mitchell, whose body was found In
a vacant lot at Seventy-fourth and State
streets last Thursday evening.
The police have evidence that Ttrhlin

Tuesday night, three WCtkss fter rti mntha
bad been murdered and six days after he
supposea to have killed Minnie Mitchell.
The body or Mre. Bartholin was found by a
party of newspaper men, after the police
had searched the house and had concluded
that If the woman had been murdered, her
body waa concealed somewhsra
the residence. All tbe roome of the house
had been ransacked, partitions torn down,
walla sounded and the basement and the
premises searched. 1
Earlier In the dav
searching in the basement found a place
where the cement floor seemed to have been
disturbed. Digging there they fonnd what
waa at first supposed to be fragments of
a human body. Later thuv tux... .i.

were attacking the floor with picks and

and other curious .ones watxhud the work
from the aulrway or through the basement

body of the woman was found. It was
wrapped in a blanket and practically waa
without clothing, thero being only a stock
ing on the left foot and a corset cover
around the chest.
From the appearance of the body It was
believed thst Mrs. Bartholin waa struck
down either while disrobing for the night
or when dressing in the morning.
On the woman's left temple waa a deep
and ragged gash two inches long, but Dr.
E. P. Noel, a physlclsn who was summoned,

"The wound is superficial, but may havs

gage on the property of Mrs. Bartholin, met
William Bartholin in front of the bouse
on the morning of July SI or August 1, he
does not remember which. This fact causes
the police to believe that they will cap.
ture him soon, as he has had less than
one week'a start of them.
Today a man was killed by cars at South
Chicago and another committed aulcids at
Washington Helghta. Both, In a general
way, answered the description of Bartholin,
but both proved to be other men. Neither
death had any connect'on with ths Bar
tholin case. There Is no apparent motive
for the killing of Mrs. Bartholin or of
Minnie Mitchell, but the police are follow-,
lng every possible theory. The one that
fluds most favor at present Is 'that the
young man, being In debt, killed his mother
In order that her equity in the mortgaged
property might revert to him. While this
theory will not cover the murder of the
Mitchell girl in sny wsy, ths police be
lieve that Bartholin had ths Idea that she
either suspected him of killing his mother
or that she had taken him to task tor
telling conflicting stories regarding ber dis
appearance. Bartholin and his mother were not on
good terms, although they lived In the same
house. Beyond a desire to Inherit her
property there Is at present no known mo
tive for the murder.
Dr. Springer, the . coroner's physician,
conducted an autopsy on the body of Mrs.
Fartholln tonight and announced that her
death had been caused by strangulation, the
assassin having made sure of hts victim by
first bresklng her skull with a blunt Instru
ment, a fracture having been found beneath
the wound on the temple.

Ambassador Choate, at All tha
Throng, the Only One to Be
Attired In Conventional
Modern Dresa. ,
(Copyright, 1908, by Prees Publishing Co.)
LONDON, Aug. 9. (New Tork World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) King Edward
VII la a crowned monarch. At laat bis
heart's dealrs has been gratified. 1 A sigh
of relief too doep for words went up from
the hearts of his devoted people as the
cannon boomed the Joyful tidings to the
outside world.
The cereconlal proved to be of great
'statellnesa and splendor. The old 'grey
walls of Westminster abbey in all the cen
turies of their existence never looked down
upon a spectacle of such surpassing rriag-t-lfcence.
The scene was complete and
congruous In every particular. It was a
medieval pageant perfectly acted , on a
stage fitly provided by England's moat
beautiful and most historic edifice. The
eye feasted on a display of gorgeous ap
parel aonned for the ceremony by Eng
land's greatest men and moat , beautiful
women.
Ths play of light through the ancient
stained glass windows on this vivid and
varied scene, tbe eyer changing musla,
now devotional, now supplicatory, now
martial and now rejoicing, the Inspiring
associations of the ancient fane, the
grandeur and the vanity of it all, could not
fall to overwhelm the censes.
Everything went with the smooth per
fection of a most anxiously rehearsed '
theatrical production. There was no diffi
culty In getting to the abbey through the
garnering throngs, and once there, the
couple of hours of waiting pnnsed agreea
bly in watching the notabls arrivals.
At 8 o'clock there were niimrxr. r.t
and peeresses in their places. An early
comer was Mrs. George Keppel. With ber
were her two children, 'a bright boy of T
In a white duck sailor suit and a girl
about 13 with brown, fair balr, also in
white. Their advance up the nave aroused
a buss of interest, Mrs. Keppel being ss
usual gowned with exquisite tsste. She
wore whits, her bodice, frock and train
shimmering with brilllanta. A flashing
diamond coronet was on her blonds hair
uu aer nec was covered with gema. It
tha children. of
I6 prince ofTVales no children but hera
es no children but hers
were among the guests.
Ambassador Choate Early.
Ambaasador and' Mrs. Choate ware also
In good time. They were seated In choir
stalls. Amerlca'a representatlvs alone
among the ambassadors snd envoys waa at
tired In the black coat of modern clvtltxa
tlon Hs had Count Deyne, Austrian am
bassador, for his neighbor, but during the
hours of waiting Mr. Choate spoke little,
being wrapped in contemplation of the
fascinating scene.
There waa little to suggest a solemn rite
In the aspect of this gaily-dressed, chat
tering congregation, with their lorgnettes
and laughter, but the vastness of the
structure snd the muslo drowned the hum
of Irreverent conversation.
Among those who attracted special at
tention were the duke and duchess of
Lancaster, who bore themselves excellently. '
The duchess floated along In ber robes' as
grscefully ss though to ths manner born,
while the duke assumed a stage stride for
the occasion, adding much to bia native
dignity. Her grace of Manchester eat next
to the duchess of Newcsstle In ths front
row of peeresses, while Manchester had
the duke of Newcastle for a neighbor, tak
ing precedence of such comparatively
mushroom noblemen as the duke of Suth
erland and Westminster.
Kosie Boote, now marchioness of Head
fort, looked extremely hasdsoms and
charming, throwing the blue-bloodad
marchioness of Landsdowne and Bath com
pieieiy into ins., snade wnen she took ber
place between them.
Almoat upon the atroke of the appointed .'
hour the different royal processiona
emerged from under tha arrest ir. hu,, 1 , t
the nave, which was lined oa either side'
with ten tiers of seats, occupied by mem
bers of various orders of knighthood, la
full inslsnla. their wives and rn,.nf.
tlves, military and naval officers snd dis-'
tlngulshed members of the olvil service.
Qneen Looks Servosi,
Ths queen's procession was falrylike la 1
Ita beauty. Queen Alexandra wore her im
perishable look of youthful lovelluess. Her
gorgeous train of crimson, with deep er
mine and gold lace bands and worked with
gold Imperial crowns, was boms by albt
red-coated pages and the duchess of
Buecleuch. whoae own train wss held In
turn by two other pages.
The queen seemed weak and nervous, and
when half-way up the nave she tottered
and beckoned to the bishop of Oxford,
walking by her side, to support her arm.
Her exhaustion perhaps was not surpris
ing, considering that ths had been four
hours dressing. She wss followed by
twelve ladles in whit tulle dressss and
flowing trains of pals gold inaterlsl, all
wearing glistening coronets and ostrich
feathers in their hair. Lookedat from
above, tbey seemed like great butterflies,
their IDnfarinpa nrnvnlrln innnlinimit Ac
clamation of admiration.
The king' procenaion waa composed ex
clusively of 'men and was led by the duks
of devonshlre, who lurched along, evidently
nncomfortsbls In his ducal robes. He was
accompanied by Premier Balfour, whose
slender, graceful figure, sttlred In court
dress, gained sdditlonal distinction by con
trast with that of bis lumbering compan
ion. Ths duke of Marlborough carried the
royal crown on a cushion and looked quite
conaclous of bis Importance. Hs waa Imme
diately followed by the king, wearing ths
clumsy, formless red velvet cap of state,
hla train borne by eight pages.
King" Edward looked fatigued, was pals
and walked with evident effort. Indeed, he,
too, came to a dead stop half way up the
nave and so anxious hush fell on ths on
lookers, tut, pulling himself together, ho
resumed v.alktng without asaiatauce. lie

from Coaca. The assembly bowed te Lliu
