press It."
The editor was aaked .f the packing

WOOL BILL UP TO THE SENATE

MEANS LONG FIGHT ON FLOOR
Republicans Place Responsibility on
Insurgents and . Democrat
Number of Other Bills to
- A' 'Be Introduced. U ' h '
WASHINGTON, June 22. An already
badly tangled situation In the senate was
still further complicated today when the
senate finance committee decided to throw
the woolen revision and so-called farmer's
free list bills, recently passed by the demo
cratic house. Into the open senate at ones
to take their chances along with Canadian
reciprocity. Both measures, however, re
ceived formal adverse committee reports.
The committee refused to take responsi
bility for reporting in detail on these meas
ures at any time and decided to cast the
burden of senate legislation on the coali
tion of democrata and Insurgent republi
cans suddenly brought about the last night
when the wool bill came from the house.
The finance commltte had been Instructed
to report the wool bill by July 10. It was
reported today that Senator Clapp proposed
to offer a resolution on instruction as to
the free list bill, but the committee fore
stalled suoh action.
"It has been demonstrated that' the re
publicans no longer are in control Of the
senate and responsibility has been taken
from them." This statement from Senatoi
Penrose of Pennsylvania, chairman of the
once all-powerful committee on finance,
today reflected the chaotic conditions in
the senate as' a result of last night'
fight over the bouse wool bill which
brought about a coalition of demoorata
and progressive republicans. By thirty
nine to eighteen this coalition Instructed
the finance committee to report the wool
bill to the senate by July 10. ,
Chairman Penrose called a meeting' of the
finance committee for today with the
avowed purpose of reporting the bill at
once.
' "It would require ten months properly to
consider the wool schedule and grant re
quested hearings. The bill might" just as
well be reported todry as on July 10," as
serted Mr. Penrose.
Senators Cullom, Lodge and Clarke of
Wyoming, members of the committee,

bers of the committee counselled delay.
They declared that to act today would In

Now the question Is what will the presi
dent do? If he Is wise, he wilt accept our

measure. We can go befoj-e the country on

Regardless of the action taken by the
finance committee, the reul struggle will
be over amending the reciprocity measure,
and control Is conceded to be In the hands
of the democrats. The question with them
Is whether- the adoption of amendments
which will revise other schedules will draw
a, vote of the reciprocity bill by President
'f aft. Democratic leaders In- the senate have
taken the position, that , they should not
vote for amendments that would kill the
reciprocity measure.
The insurgents say that the "president
would have to recede from .. reciprocity
to save the trusts," If their program, was
adopted. j
When Senator LaFpllette arrived at the
committee meeting he said:

motion so as to provide for an immediate

that It would be unjust to tha great busi

LONDON, June 22. A dral) sky and
smart showers early, this morning though
they dimmed the freshness of the lavish
decorations, could not dull the enthusiasm
of the multitude who for months had been
planning to make the !d of June a red
letter day In thair lives.
Hundreds of thousands Americans, Oer
mans, Frenchmen and natives of all lands,
from China to Peru, Joined the hustling
throng and yielded themselves up with
magnificent enthusiasm to the coronation
glamor.
The weather waa about the only thing
that had not been prearranged with ex
actness and It was the one thing likely to
mar, or make supremely glorious the day
that was to give Britain a new king.
Fair weather had been promised and
when John Bull looked from his window
upon lead skies this morning he experi
enced a pang of disappointment, but this
did not dampen his spirits to notlgeable
effect. Later his stolid optimism waa re

LONDON, June a, King. George V.
eighth of the Bouse of Hanover, waa today
consecrated to the service of the British
empire and In turn received the. public
homage of his world wide subjects.
With his consort. Queen Wary,.', his
majesty waa crowned in the abbey of West
minster withall the wealth, and religious
rites and royal ceremonial prescribed by his
toric custom. - ' '
The picture within ths gray walled abbey
was one of medieval splendor. The corona-
atlon services, solemn and Imposing, were
those handed down from the earlier cen
turies and the actors In the.prlncipal and
secondary roles of today's great function
were garbed in reproductions of ths multi
colored, gold . embroidered trappings .worn
by their ancestors. . The latter made a won
derfully effective setting around the central
figures.
Outside the usually dull streets had been
transfoimedMnto a mass of color. The king
and queen's progress to the abbey and tha
return to Buckingham Palace was one un
broken -ovation. The route . was hedged
with a vaat polyglot host with a back
ground of decorated viewing stands and
windows and roofs, all of which were
crammed to their capacity.
Hundreds of ' thousands of spectators
shouted themselves hoarse at central
points like the Mall and the entrance to
the admiralty, where the government stands
held a score ofy thousands. Trafalgar
square was so ' densely packed with hu
manity that It would not have been diffi
cult to travcrrs the square walking an tha
heads of the people. Parliament Square,
club land and Constitution hill held their
countless thousands.
The tumult of thunderous welcome, waa
almost deafening as the king and queen,
passed on the outward and home Journeys,
preceded In the first Instanca and followed
on the Return by a stately, superb caval
cade of eminent persons, many themselves
heirs to thrones, statesmen, diplomats,
courtiers, soldiers, sailors and men of all
hues, races and creeds from ths four
quarters of the globe.
The great ' ceremonial passed off "un
marred by untoward incidents. When -dawn
broke the skies were heavy and showers
fell during the progress of tha prooesslons
of the royal guests and the Junior mem
bers of the royal family to ths abbey, but
as tho king and queen left Buckingham
Palace to be crowned the heavens smiled
and a flood of sunshine brightened the
splendid pageant.
