KING GEORGE V. ON THRONE OF BRITAIN

London.—King Edward VII. died early on the morning of May 7, after an illnesh of but a few days' duration. On May 9, with all the time-honored ceremonies dear to the heart of Britons, George V., oldest living son of the dead king, was proclaimed ruler of the empire. * - George V. brings to the throne a considerable experience of his own In the routine demands of public service made upon him as Prince of Wales, and he comes to the task of governing with ability, good personal character and a serious sense ot his own responsibilities. , „ In 1908 he visited Canada to attend the celebration at Quebec and on that occasion met Vice-President Fairbanks. The new king is less democratic than was his father and does not have such an ardent love for sports. It has been predicted, therefore, that after his accession to the throne the court gayety, which was always a feature during Edward’s reign, will be less marked. It should not be forgotten, In considering the attributes of the new king, that he was not brought up as the heir to the crown. Chroniclers who were In a position to know state that he came to the honors amfMutles of heirship with no desire and with real regret. He was twenty-seven years old before he became heir to the crown through the death of his elder brother, Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale. • He wanted to live unostentatiously and to pursue his career in his own way. He had married, morganatically, a woman whom he loved and who j loved him—a niece of Vice-Admiral j Tryon of the British navy, who lost his life in the Victoria-Camperdown collision In the Mediterranean in 1893. The wedding took place in the English church at Malta, and two children were born to the couple. Such was the situation of George's life in January, 1892, when the Duke of Clarence died. George found himself heir to the throne, with vast duties awaiting him. Immediately his entire life was changed. He had to give up the sea, he had to abandon his retired life, he had to part from his motganatic wife. The heir to the throne of the British empire faced duties inconsistent with the life possible to a prince not in the direct line of succession. Not only was George, when he became heir, forced to take up the public duties of the Duke of Clarence, but he was also obliged ta marry his brother’s fiancee, Princess Victoria Mary of Teck, or “Princess May,” as she was popularly known, who had been chosen as the future queen of England, and “•her marriage to the; Duke of Clarence was to have occurred In 1892. After the duke’s death Queen Victoria ordered George to marry the present queen. In 1893 George did so, when the period of mourning for the Duke of Clarence was ended. It was on June 3, 1865, at Marlborough house. London, that George V.

was born. lie was the second child as well as the second son of the late King Edward and Dowager Queen Alexandra, then Prince and Princess of Wales. The Duke of Clarence was his elder by seventeen months, and the two boys grew up close companions. The father, with an eye to fitting them for responsibilities at the head of a seafaring nation, dedicated them Soth to the navy. They were both entered In the service as cadets in 1877, when the present king was only twelve years old. Gfeorge and his brother entered the naval service together and served as,, cadets, being treated much the same as are other embryo officers. George, however, made a regular profession of the navy, and was gradually promoted until, within a few weeks of his marriage, he had' reached the rank of captain. In this service he took all the hard knocks to which the sailor must use himself, and his readiness to do his share of the rough work won him the Intense admiration of officers and men alike.

It was on January 14, 1892, that George came Into the direct line of succession to the throne, -for on that day his brother, the Duke of Clarence, died, of Influenza. Up to this time he had been merely Prince George and, constitutionally speaking, a commoner, as are all members of the royal family until admitted to the house of lords. The question then arose as to what title he, should be given. It was decided that of all royal dukedoms that of Duke of York was most fitting for apparent, since It dated from the time of Edward 111., and had always been allotted to the second son of the sovereign until Queen Victoria broke the custom by creating her second son Duke of Edinburgh. So Prince George, as heir apparent, became Duke of York, Earl of Inverness and Baron Killarney. On the accession of his father to the throne in 1901 he became Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall and York and Duke of Rothesay in Scotland. Although the propriety of a wedding between George and Princess May was questioned in some quarters, the voice of the critics was lost in the general burst of approval from the people. Princess May., at that time was extremely popular, while George himself was much more popular than he has been since. The English people welcomed the Idea of a union between these two, and the marriage took place in the royal chapel of St. James on July 6, 1893, amid general rejoicing in England and the colonies. , Six children have sprung from this union. Prince Edward Albert, the eldest of the family, was born in 1894. He is now next in succession tp the throne ana will probably be created Prince of Wales almost immediately. The other children and the dates of their birth are: Prince Albert Fiederick, 1895; Princess Victoria Mary, 1897; Prince Henry William, 1900; Prince George Edward, 1905, and Prince John Charles.

KEBBY CAUSES STIR BALLINGER EMPLOYE’! CHARGE CREATES BIG SENSATION AT *'* PINCHOT INQUIRY. IT INVOLVES THE PRESIDENT Stenographer Declares Assistant Attorney General Lawler Drafted Letter Exonerating Secretary of Interior From Glavle Chargee. Washington.—President Taft’s letter of laat September ordering the dismissal of L. A. Glayls from thp land office service and exonerating Secretary Ballinger from the charges preferred by QlavU waa based upon and in part directly quoted from a draft of a letter written by Oacar Lawler, assistant attorney general of the interior department The Lawler letter was drafted in such form that It might Effve been adopted verbatim and signed by the president. ~ ?m- ... The draft by Ifr!” Lawler was delivered to the Ballinger-Plnchot committee Saturday and ordered spread upon the records of the investigation. Careful comparison of the Lawler draft with the letter shows that Mr. Taft did in fact adopt practically verbatim two short paragraphs of Mr. Lawler’s language. The substance of the two documents ia otherwise widely dissimilar. The thing came to a head in the publication of a statement attributed to Frederick M. Kerby, one of the stenographers in the office of Secretary Ballinger, in which Kerby related at length the circumstances under which he alleged the Lawler draft to have been prepared. Kerby asserts further that all of the preliminary drafts used in the preparation of the letter were burned ip 3 grate in the interior department at the suggestion and under the supervision Si Uon_M[Carr, Mr. Ballinger’s private secretary. Kerby drew the inference that the Lawler draft had been adopted by the president essentially as his own; that Mr. Ballinger and his legal adviser therefore virtually had prepared the exoneration which Mr. Taft had issued over his own signature. Almost simultaneously with the publication of tjie Kerby statement Attorney General Wickersham sent to the Ballinger-Pinchot investigating committee, then In session, a copy of the Lawyer draft, accompanied by a letter ‘o Chairman Nelson in which Mr. Wickersham declared the document had been overlooked in sending the papers requisitioned by the committee at the behest of Attorney Brandeis. The publication of the Kerby statement evoked from the White House a statement declaring there was “absolutely no foundation” for the statement “that the president’s letter of September 1,3, 1909, was substantially prepared for the president’s signature by Assistant Attorney General Lawler” and asserting unequivocally that "the president dictated his letter personally as the result of his own investigation of the records and consideration of documents and papers in his possession at the time and upon the report of the attorney general.” It waa further pointed out, both at the White House and by Attorney General Wickersham himself, that a comparison of the Lawler draft and the president’s letter would show that the inferences of the Kerby statement were unwarranted. Mr. Wickersham alluded to the practise common in the government departments of subordinates preparing letters and documents for the consideration of their superiors and their use by them in whole or in part as ley might see fit. In a letter to Senator Nelson Sunday President Taft assumes all responsibility for Ballinger’s exoneration, saying he directed Lawler “to prepare an opinion as if he were the president,” but did not think it wise to adopt the criticism contained therein of Mr. Giavis and Mr. Pinchot.

TAFT CONFERS WITH SOLONS President Invites Western Republican Senators, Excepting “Insurgents,” - to White House Conference. Washington.—President Taft conferred with Republican senators from states west of the Mississippi river Saturday upon whom he is depending for votes to put through his legislative program.
