While the late "King Edward was imnionsely popular, his ad- ', vanced age and feeble health cast a ! shadow over his Coronation festlvitles in 1902. King George, however, I U . only In his forty-fifth year, and I from all accounts in the best of health and his reign is looked forward to as long and proseperous one. Will Start Monday. Although festivities incident to the r Coronation have been under way for several weeks past, the official cefe- ; monies will not begin until Monday, 'when the representatives of the var- , lous European countries will arrive.

"Fences" Being Built and . Campaign. Launched '.. Within a Month. (Palladium Special) Washington, June 17. Senator Robert M. La Follette will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for president. His candidacy will be formally launched within a month with a zeal and earnestness that will leave no doubt in the public mind that his friends and supporters are in earnest and intend to .wage an aggressive fight in every state in the union to wrest the nomination from President Taft. The senator will have the support of a majority of the progressives in congress. It may be stated upon the highest authority that he will be supported enthusiastically by, many prominent progressives throughout the country who are now being 'claimed for President Taft. This will all appear very clear within- a short time. - Senator La Follette will take a conspicuous part in the consideration of the Canadian reciprocity -legislation and other tariff matters in the senate within a few days he will offer a bill in the senate that will propose a revision downward, of many tariff schedules. The senate will be given an opportunity to accept or reject the measures and upon that record the senator from Wisconsin will go to the country. He will make an exhaustive speech on the Canadian reciprocity bill and the tariff schedules generally. Before the extra session adjourns the friends of President Taff will have abundant reason . for knowing that Senator La Follette is the candidate of the progressive . Republicans for President and that his name will go before the convention and his followers will afford the next Republican national convention an opportunity to accept or reject the code of political principles on which he has appealed to the country since he entered the senate.

AIMED TO CONTROL ALL CORPORATIONS If Indiana Representative's Bill Is Passed, Employer Cannot Dictate to Employe on Politics. STAB AT UNDERWOOD BY STEEL COMBINE Is Believed to Have Influenced Boehne in Introducing His Bill Measure Will Probably Pass. BY SYDNEY ESPY Washington, June 17. Corporations which shut down their plants in order to influence voters, or attempt to dictate legislation by such underhand methods, are to be amenable to punishment hereafter if a bill which rep resentative Boehne ,of Indiana, has in troduced in the house becomes a law, Representative Boehne goes further and would also make it a crime for any corporation to display on its fac tory walls placards and signs "hintine" that employes shall vote such ' and such a ticket if the wish to retain their positions. During the debate on the free list bill. Representative Underwood of Alabama, startled the house by a statement that the Steel trust had attempt-

To influence Him. It was declared that the action of the corporation was because of Mr. Underwood's tariff views, as a member and chairman of the all-powerful house committee on ways and means, which has the framing of all'lariff legislation. Representative Underwood recognized in the action of the Steel corporation a direct slap at his rights as a member of congress to vote for, and to urge legislation he believed to be the best for the coun- . try. He flung defiance in the direc- ! tlon of the Steel trust and declared. amid 'he applause of his colleagues in the house that Joe would not change hii views. , The Bonne bill is believed to have grown out of this incident. It has frequently been charged in former campaigns especially those fecting national elections that -large lT"uuus u . lu"uUtt""bi methods toward employes, walls and premises were Factory adorned with placards predicting the empty dinner pail and no job in the event of the defeat of a certain ticket Indirectly, large corporations have been accused by members of congress after elections of attempting to influence the courts. Fought Underwood. The alleged action of the Steel trust in the Underwood district, however, is one of the omst flagrant instances of the attempted influence of business upon legislative affairs. The Steel trust fought Representative Underwood when he was last up for election, and made a losing fight, inasmuch as the masses seemed to be with the Alabama representative and against the trust Representative Un derwood was returned to Congress by an overwhelming majoritiy, and, as soon as it had been ascertained that he was to be the chairman of the ways and means committee, th Alabma rpresentative began to lay plans for a revision of the tariff. When the free list bill was presented to the house, it was found that, among the hundred or more articles enumerated that were to go upon the free list, was woven" wire and wire fencing. The Steel trust, already at out with Representative Underwood because of his advocacy of a lower duty on Iron ore, grew indignant that another slap had been made. at its product :- .. It was announced that the trust had found it necessary to close down work on its new plant This threw out of employment some tliree thousand men according to statements made on the house floor at the time the matter was brought officially to the attention of that body. These three thousand men. the steel trust probably figured, would be resentful toward Mr. -Underwood, the chairman of the committee that had brought in a bill obnoxious to their e-iplDyers. Underwood ia Game. Representative Underwood told the house, however, that he was wiling to take the risk of discontent back home, and that he would proceed to urge the passage of the free list bill, regardless of any methods pursued by his political enemies to influence J his course as a member of the house. Mr. Underwood fought for the free list bill to the end that it passed 'the house by a large majority and just aa it had come from tue Democratic ways and means committee.

GLEN MILLER NOT GETTING SQUARE DEAL

The lake is filled with mud. and in many places is less than four feet deep. There are no more animals today in the "zoo" than ther were three year ago, when the monkeys were purchased. When there are increases in the elk and deer herds, instead of trading the superflous animals for other varieties, it has been the custom to sell them to saloons, to be eaten on Christmas, New Year's eve' and other holidays, as "free lunch." The animals have always been popular at the park, and it is thought that they should be added to rather than decreased. There is a growing demand for a better zoo and an appropriation in next year's budget for this purpose would be pop ular. ' . The animal cages, except the concrete bear pit, which cost the city 9900 are in delapidated condition. The floors are rotting out, the roofs are leaking, and the odor that arises from some of them on hot days drives the amusement seekers to the back part of the park- in disgust. ; It is claimed that it la, impossible to keep' the stench down, with the cages in their present condition. The bear pit, built of concrete and steel, is one of the best in the state but it is the rowof cages, just south of the bear pit ; that is causing the trouble. They have stood for years. -t c 4 The receipts of the park superintendent in the year run from $50p to $1000. The park has only a few sources of revenue and few amuse ments. The expense of the Glen averages $7,000 a year, a sum nearly as great as is required to maintain the big municipal amusement park at La fayette, Ind., which boasts of a swimming pool, a big zoo, a public play grounds for children, tennis courts and golf links. The local parks baa none of these attractions. There is t pavillion, at which . one may purchase ' peanuts and popcorn, or a dish of . ice cream. Besides the . zoo the only . amusement is boating,' the boats being owned by the bolder, of the pavillion lease, Charles Fetzer. The city fur nishes nothing in the way of amusements at the uark, excepting the small but very popular zoo. The Lafayette park, now termed one of the most beautiful in the west for the size, was built from "an old tract of 44 acres of muddy land." Glen Miller was plotted from one of the most beautiful groves in the . country, and takes In more than 179 , acres. Naturally the park is unsur-. passed, but aside from the work . of nature, and some hard labor by Super- -intendent Hollern; who is undoubtedly doing his best with the money at hand, $5,000 appropriated last year, , there is not much doing in Glen MUr i ler.

For merly this city had municipal band concerts at the park once a week, but this very attractive feature was abas ' doned on the grounds it was "too ex , pensive." ; ' ' , . 3 Superintendent Hollern announced ! yesterday that he would ask for- a large appropriation to , deepen the lake. This will probably M be . done soon. He says ther are about 200 loads of dirt in the basin of the pond that must be removed. The cost of rebuilding the animal cages would be about $4000. '- . - , . .
