Talks of Late
King Edward
Death is Not Only a Loss to England,
but to the World at Large
Loved by All.
t'HK.'AGU, May 8 ( .-"pcci.tl Telegram.)
Probably no per.-on In Chicago is inure
grieved over the death of King Kdward
than Is Hubert T. I.lnculii. ambassador to
Kriglsnd under President Harrlsem.
"ills death Is not only a great lss lo
Knglatid, but the. world at large," said Air.
Linroln. "lit! Is succeeded uv a man of
great ability, a reticent disposition and of
the tight age.
"Purlng my four years' ruidfnce In Lon
don 1 became acquainted wit.lt lie kirn lie
was then Prince of Wale, and I met him
often, rather In social than official ways.
Ha was at that time a happy, clever man
In every way, and his courtesy lo other
was one of his greatest jha:uci'?r;'.io.:. lie
knew about everybody and everi!itn(. ilu
was always well Informed.
As Prince of Wales he had practically
nothing to do with lht afafirs of the
government and whs known to ambassador
and others purely In a social capacity, lie
was not what e would call In this Country
a hall fellow:" well met. You would sec
him walking along the streets nhaklru
IihikW with friend. Am I have said. It's
crowning feature was that he was a gentle
mon. I remember the king whei as Prince
Of Wales lie visited the l.'nlted fliatox. I
a then a student In Harvard, lie visited
the university He and my father never
met. "He was always ftenial and a brlRht
ronversationlsts. His smile was character
istic. He was not what we. would call
democratic In the narrow senne; he waa not
exclusive.
"While. 1 was ambassador A little. Inci
lent happened that showed the feeling; Kd
, ward enUrtaliied, toward anybody whom
h had met favorably. James Spencer, now
a resident of Milwaukee, owned a large
farm near Dwlght, 111., In 1MU. The farm
was In the center of a fine quull district
and It van there the. prince was taken to
shoot game. He stayed at Mr. Spencer's
place. When 1 was In London Mr. Spencer
visited mo. 1 had my secretary write a
' note, to the prince's secretary, telling him
of Mr. Spencer's presence In London. The
prince replied and requested Mr. Spencer
to visit him without delay.
"To me Kdward always appeared to be
a very strong man, mentally and physic
ally. He was a great social favorite. Queen
Alexandra probably l better known per
sonally to more persona In England than
was the king."
WAVE OF FINANCIAL GLOOM
FAR AND WIDE IN LONDON
PosslbllHy that I'rlees May hboww
Somewhat f n Hd'ovcrjr by
Monday.
LONDON, May 8. (Special Cablegram.)
It would be difficult to exaggerate the
gloom which spread over financial London
today, following the death of King Ed w aid.
Kveryone anticipated the. worst yesterday,
so there Is a possibility that prices may re
cover in some degree on Monday, although
nothing can prevent the fluaucial reaction
which' must necessarily follow.
Two or three year ego the death of the
king of England would scarcely have been
discussed aa a potential factor In the finan
cial district.
The apprehension whlJi arose this week,
s It would not have done a few years ago.
wa9 based not only on the crown's present
situation in the face of the Asqullh mln
istry a demand rur new peers to reverse
the opposition majority In the House of
Lords, but to the wild peculatlon of the
public in new fangled oil and rubber shares.
W'hich had fairly reached Its climax when
the king's death was announced.
Llojdu will pay suvcral million pounds
sterling of Insurance on King dvard's
life. Theatrical managers, promoters of
inhibitions, merchants . whose success in
trade depends on a gay season all protected
themselves against complete loss by In
suring hlM majesty's life. Lloyds accepted
the risk as late as yesterday afternoon at
'6 guineas per cent. After King Kdward
was operated on for appendicitis In wot
Lloyds demanded guineas per cent to
insure him.
Th effect of the king's death-n London
trade Is exciting the gloomiest apprehen
sions. The fashionable hotels, which had
their rooms booked up from next week to
the middle of July, are having the book
ings cancelled by wholesale. Many rich
Americans who intended making London
ineir cniei stopping piace tnu summer are
going to the continent Instead.

Favors, for American Women.
At the present time Mrs. Keppel' new
tl.OOd.OOO residence In Orosvenor square Is
nearlng completion and Its mistress had
planned that It should tiouse the grandest
functions In England. Its social afaflis
were to outrank those of BuckinKham
palace. At this time, however, the future
of th Keppel palace Is doubtful;
Among the American women who have
been favored by King Kdward. nr the
duchess of Roxbury, Lady Orhnard,' tho
duchr&s of Marlborough and many cithers.
Kspeclally Interested was his late majesty
In Lady Oranard and he attended at the
Oranard residence a number of social af
fairs. The attitude of the new king toward
the Americans Is definitely unilPrslnod,
but there can be no doirbt of hi3 hostility
towards Mrs. Keppel. King George was an-
.oyed that his father should delegate the
power to Mrs. Keppel he did. Why this
hostility exists In such a marked degree
Is not exactly known, but evidences of It
lave been shown too often for misunder
standing."
The duchess of Marlborough In discuss-
ng the demise Of King Edward with one
of her guests remarked:
Could Have Shone Mortally.
"King Edward was a man of such shin
ing qualities that he would have ranked
as the first gentleman in the land had
he not been king. His social tact, his In
tuitive diplomacy and his kindness were
marked. He was broadminded and catho
lic In his tastes. To know him was to love,
admire and respect him."
Lady (jianard was deeply affected at
tha news of her social benefactor's death,
and said:
It Is a sad event In my life; I feci
ad ' though' a lifelong ' friend had par sell
away."
The , resident American women whose
wealth and ambition leads to aspirations
to take part In 'the affairs of the inner
circles, universally courted the favor of
Mrs. Keppel. Just what attitude thea-
will maintain under the three weeks'
period of court mourning remains to bo
seen.
Mrs. Keppel lias been at her Ixmdon
residence since the late king fell ill. She
was a guest at the last dinner attended
by King Edward. Mr. Keppel visited
Buckingham palace yesterday, but Mrs.
Keppel remained at home. Mrs. Keppel Is
seriously affected by the news of the mon
arch's death. Aside from her social pres
tige she has accumulated an enormous
fortune through "tips" on the stock mar
ket, giveti her by millionaire Americana
who sought her aid for the royal entry. , .
The queen has not spoken to Mrs. Kep
pel in ten years. Hut this hostility had no
effect on King Kdward, for he had prom
ised to attend the comlngout party of
Violet Keppel, Mre. Keppel a daughter.
Mrs. Keppel Is a strikingly beautiful, ma
tron, not yet having attained middle age.

George. 11 was as deficient In morals as
his father.' and the best things of his reign
were due, first, to Walpole, and next, to
Pitt, the former hi rlist prime "minister

,The next George was a coarse-minded un
read bear who could see no beauty In a
Shakespearian play, but would laugh him
self almost Into fits on seeing a clown
swallowing a string of sausages. He tried
to be a real king, but did not know hpw.
One of the worst rcsuiia of his pigheaded
obstinacy was the provocation of the Amer
ican revolution. He died Insane.
The fourth George was born a century
before the present king saw the light of
day. lV marriage to Mrs. Fltzherbert was
only one of the scandals of his reign. He
was known sometimes as "The First Gen
tleman of Europe." because of his graclou
manners, which were mere varnish. At
heart he was a profligate.
George V. as prince of Wales, has shown
none of the' qualities that have given tho
hame lis royal Ill-savor. In fact, he has
been regarded as being proper to the verge
of dullness. Therefore, his chance of mak
ing the twentieth century George a brilliant
contrast with the other Georges Is very
good.

Is still working.
"He's Just the kind of a man I want on
that Job," said !t Conned. "He is In dead
earnest, and after experimenting In every
way he tells me frankly no one man can
inspect the cattle before and after killing
at the Independent packing plants In South
Omaha. He not only tells me this, but
proves it.
"Dr. Bleed's reporis to this office show
that during the month of April" he con
demned and sent to the rendering tanks
twenty-eight head of stock. One day he
condemned seven, another day five, and a
third day three.' Nothing 'could better
prove th great necessity for the strictest
kind of Inspection of those plants, to pro
tect the people of Omaha against tainted
meat. -
Independents Hay Heavily.
"During the montlv of April no less than
1.42S head of stock Were' handled and killed
by the indepf relent -packers from the stock
yards alone. They also buy from farmers,
and must gel a good many mora In that
way. Our people really have little or no
idea of the extensive operations of the in
dfperdent packers. If we handled these
houses on the government plan It would
take four or five men to attend to the
ork. As it Is, I am now sure the only
thing we inn do is to employ an assistant
for Dr. Breed, because, he has -shown by
diligent effort that one man cannot possibly
attend to the worR in proper shape, and
we don't want any merely perfunctory in
spection. If we did, we couldn't have Dr.
Breed's services, because he refuses to play
at . Inspection, lie tells me that on one
particular day recently he found this con
dition: . At 5:30 In the afternoon one house
had seventeen head yet to be killed, a sec
ond had thirty head awaiting slaughter
and a third house, had eight head yet to
be disposed of.
"I kntw that Dr. .Breed has been oo
the Job aa early as 6:30 .In the morning,
and surely from that time until 6 o'clock In
the afternoon makes . a sufficiently long
day for any mart ,to work. He also frankly
says that if the city cannot go about the
work right It, had better be. discontinued
until we can. But that's Just what want
to avoid, and I believe public sentiment
will be solidly behind the city council if
it takes steps to have the inspection prop
erly continued."
Dr. Breed himself was reticent In talking
until he knew his superior had been seen,
but he makes , it plain ..that he does not
-want to hold the Job- merely to draw the
salary. He wants lb understood that unless
the inspection can be . tnade " in the right
way he does not want to be responsible for
it at all. " .-. .' .....
Incidentally, It may be mentioned that
since taking the 10b ' of 'inspector Dr.
Breed has ordered Improvements at the
Independent plants-4hat' have involved an
expense of about 17,000 to' the owners.

it was generally known they were not for

lature turned down the Initiative and refer
endum and this should convince. Mr. Bri'an
that the party Is opposed to It."
It was the belief, whether wellfounded
or not, that democracy stood a good chartce
of electing more officers this fall But
those bright horses have bee changed to
the deepest despair, and more than one
candidate who contemplated. filing his .name
long ago, still holds qonto bla mnney too,
quoting one of these; ,
"It begins to look as though a demo
cratic nomination will be ao empty honor.
If Mr. Bryan wlna, the rank and file of the
party will defeat the ticket and if he loses
he will be strong to prevent the election
of any democrat who opposes him."
How Governor glands.
The attitude of Governor Shallenberger
has also caused considerable discussion. It
is known from his public statements that
he is opposed to the extra 'session, so many
democrats who are bitter against "Mr.
Bryan are also put out at his action In
not refusing to issue the call When Mr.
Bryan first got into the game. Instead of
that the governor agreed to convene the
legislature If Mr. Bryan would get 'three
fifths of the members to sign a pledge they
would vote for th submission of the initia
tive and referendum.'
That considerable feeling exists between
the Bryan people and the governor there la
no doubt, though every effort la taken to
prevent a "ruction", publicly. Some visi
tors call at the Commoner office first and
then on the governor and others first call
on the executive. It ia a safe guess to
say the executive Is not encouraging any
ot them to sign that' -written pledge.

"He never mentioned expenses to me,"
waa the reply.
So although the presidential candidate
agreed to pay for the messages sent by the
senators. It is supposed by the experience
of this senator that he has permitted the
'vIMture to come here at their own expense.
Opinlen. Differs.
Democrats seem badly divided s to what
will be the outcome, but here la a signifi
cant statement: A very prominent democrat
and officeholder- was asked If Mr. Bryan
would win out. ' He waa emphatic In- his
statement that the peerless one had met
his Waterloo, and he proceed! to give hU
reasons, closing with a gentlemanly de
nunciation of Mr. Bryan for stirring up the
waters. i
"W1H you permit Yourself lo be quoted
on that," he was asked.
"Well, no; I don t Ilka I get into, the
scrap."
When he had been lnfor.ned that was th
same position nken by mioy prominent
drin.irrat. he wss askrd w.iv. if the par.:
was opposed to Mr. Bryan's pl.in, n ' le of
the leader would be quoted In opposition.
"We'l," he srlfl. "If this way. We dnti't
like to aut.igotti Mr. Bryan. Even If he
Is defeated in this state and is not again a
candidate for president, he will be able to
dictate the nomination of the next presi
dential candidate of the psirty. So If the
democrats elect the president. Mr. Bryan
will be the power behind the throne. Well,
a lot of democrats would like lo get fd
eral offices, so. really. It is not safe to An
tagonize him publicly."
Sii It is not beyond the possibilities, that
when the time comes Mr. Brjan will havr
behind him all the leaders of his party, for
C. W. Bryan Mid last night: "Things ate
looking more cheerful every day.'
The fact that Mr. Bryan will be here for
the Stata convention, which i offoclally
announced, may also Induce some of the
senators to lee the light differently, for
should he (all to secure his extra i-esslon
he will write county opt on In the demo
cratic plat form or lose the hardest fig'it
ho ever made.

Mrs. Crelghton, with their family, came

Craig Insisting
Contractors Must
Clean Up Stree
Will Insist on a Strict Compliance
with the Law' in AH Cam
Hereafter.
CUV Engineer Craig Is up hi arms against
the connectors who rrslst in obstructing
the streets to that degree where property
owncis arc kicking continually to have
the ubkiruvions removed. Mr. Craig says
he will Insist on Strict compliance with tne
law hereafter or will have all parties con
cerned arrested as often ss necessary to
set ure obedience.
"This department has been flooded with
complaints from property owners and
others telatlVc to'he storage of building
material In streets and on sidewalks, thus
obstructing traffic, and In some instances to
the extent ot endangering life," said Mr.
Craig. .
1 am not going to bear the brunt of this
trouble any longer. There Is no reason why
building contractors, ' plumbers and others
should not comply with' the law and keep
within tho limit of their rights. The or
dinance provides that the building Inspector
shall, 'when granting permits, Issus them
subject to the provisions of street permit.
from the city enKlneci for the storage of
building material upon the public streets.
L'nder no ctrcumntances shall any material
be allowed to -be placed so as to obstruct
drainage In the gutters.'
"The ordinance Is also plain on the sub
ject of protecting the public against acci
dent by requiring red lights or other signals
or barricades to be placed at night by the
builders or property owners during ths
period of the occunany of the street. Ths
penalty la a fine of $100 or thirty days In
jail, or both.'
"I Intend to start a red-hot campaign
Monday morning by sending out a force of
Inspectors . to locate violators of this ma
terial ordinance and any contractor,
plumber or property owner found violating
the ordinance will be arrested and lodged
in Jail. This course will be continued from
day to day until compliance with this or
dinance is made.
"Grading contractors, too, must come to
time and replace sidewalks and cross
walks at once upon the completion of their
work."
