LONDON, England, May 20. The body of the lute King Edward was laid to rest today in St. George's Chapel, at Windsor, where seven other Dritish Kings are buried. The funeral was one of the most impres . i; , ., aive in the world's history. Probably 2,240, 000 people saw the pageant pass. Hundreds fainted in the dense throng lining the route and forty ' ambulances were kept busy. i Spectators began arriving at mid- B night and by dawn the streets were ... " jammed. Simultaneously with the ttt ' . 1 starting of the procession every street i- car and train in Great Britain e: was stopped from two to fifteen min utes. It required two hours and aeven minutes for the procession to cover the distance from Westminster to Paddiugton station. The funeral train arrived at Wind sor at 12:34 p. ni. At slow pace the funeral car marked time for cortege. Hedging the pall bearers came a de tachment commemorative of England of long ago, including halberdiers, muskeeters and yeomen, in scarlet uniforms of Tudor days. Following the royal catafalque came Admiral Prince Luois of Battenborg, then Enwnrd's favorite charger. Pre ceded my royal standards rode King George and his aides, accompanied by the Duke of Connaught, Edward's ttither, and Kaiser Wilhelm of Gor many, followed by seven European monarchs. King Alfonso of Spain, George of Greece, Manuel of Portu gal, Haakon of Norway, Frederick of fjj Denmark. Albert of Belgium, and ,Jri Ferdinand of Bulgaria. After them, ''" riding three abreast, was a display of lesser royalty, numbering practically one hundred scions of the ruling houses of Europe. A long line of '. carriages came next, the first one containing the Queen mother, Alex ' andria, her sister, the Dowager Czar- lna of Russia, and Queen Mary of ; England. Then came princesses of ' ,'the British royal family, then dtplo 'niats of foreign nations, including Roosevelt, who was dressed in a -'black frock coat and had a band of 'mourning on his arm: After the funeral services,' King r George entertained most of those who had been in the procession at lun- cheon. The body of Edward will "-: eventually be removed to Albert Chapel for permanent burial. The i chapel was built by Henry VIII. Your Hair is Worth It Afraid to use hair preparations?

The 28th annual reunion of the Oregon Pioneer Association will be held in this city, Wednesday, June 22, Fred erick V. Holman, president, presid ing. Prof. F. H. Grubbs, a pioneer of 1852, will give a great deal of in formation about the early school of Oregon, as he was a teacher for a number of years prior to 1865. Rev. D. B. Gray will act as chaplain, and Joseph Buchtel as marshal. The lit erary and musical exercises will be given in the Masonic Temple, on Yamhill street, southwest corner of West Park, and the annual banquet (hi-yu muck-a-muck, hl-yu he-he, hi yu ahn-kut-ty til-a-kum) will take place in the Armory of the Oregon National Guard. The annual busi ness meeting and "campflre" will be held in the Masonic Temple. Death has cut off many pioneers during the past year, but the proportion of those gathered to their fathers who have been members of the Associa tion has been ve'ry small; hence It may be expected that the attendance this year will be about as large as last year, which was over 1200. There are many pioneers in the state who have never joined the Associa tion, the requirements for which are as follows. All who came to, or were born in, any part of the ' original Oregon up to 1859, Inclusive, and all who came to any part of the Pacific Coast up to that year, Inclusive, now residents of Oregon, may be admitted to membership upon application to George H. Himes, secretary, Port land. IIAI.I.EVS COMET OF FAIR SEX DECLARES WOMAN CHICAGO, May 19. The coniot Is a woman, according to a statement made yesterday by Mrs. Daniel F. Burke at the annual luncheon of the Catholic Woman's league in the ban quet hall of the Auditorium Hotel "The comet Is a woman." she said, "because it wears a sheath gown and has a long train: because it erratic, brilliant, attractive and ap parently seeking to .attract; because It is dangerous, is not answerable to any petty laws, and Is absolutely necessary to the scheme of things. It is a woman, else why would bright men sit up all night to look at It." SPECIAL ATTRACTION AT NOVELTY THEATRE. Miss Angela May, the well known comic opera star, will be the feature attraction ot the Novelty Theatre in Roseburg for the week beginning next Sunday. Angela May, who is a household word in the world of theatricals. Is making a trip in her own automobile from New York City to San Francisco. A metropolitan paper says of her: "Miss May made her first appear ance at Hager's Theatre last evening and judging from the generous ap plause and the genuine appreciation accorded her on such Bhort notice, she will no doubt play to standing room only during the rest of her en gagement. " FORMER ROSKIIl'RG MAN RETIRXS FROM TROPICS. Dr. Batlirlck Says Panama is Cleanest City In World Now Dentist for Government. Dr. R. L. Bathrlck. a dentist, who left this city last June, after a year's practice in the ottices of Dr. G. J. Bacher, and who is a brother of Mrs. C. H. Davles, the local milliner, re cently returned to his old home at Sioux City, Iowa, from Panama. A Sioux City newspaper says: Dr. R. L. Bathrlck. of Panama City, Panama, who Is in Sioux City visiting at the home of his sister, Mrs. F. O. Laughlin, says that Pana ma City, capital of the Panama re public, is the cleanest city in the world. In the past few years its sanitary system has been brought up to a high standard. The streets, he says, are all paved with brick, and every ntght a brigade of men goes over the thoroughfares nnd sweeps them clean. Dr. Bathrlck is a dentist for the Panama government. His duty Is to examine and attend to the teeth of Inmates of all charituble Instltutons, for which he receives a compensa tion of $50 a week. He is personally acquainted with President Mendosa, the president of the republic. Dr. Bathrlck says Mendosa is an excep tionally bright and popular man. Panama, according, to Dr. Batlirlck, now has a population of 50,000, and Is growing rapidly. The climate Is delightful. "We go around in our shirt sleeves all the year." lie said. "You can imagine sitting out on the plaza In January listening to concerts by the Government band, which gives a concert nearly every night." Several years ago Dr. Bathrick practiced dentistry in Sioux City. He brought from Panama a unique watch fob made out of an alligator's foot and hido, which he presented to Desk Sergeant George Pierce, of the police force. HARRY STRONG INDICTED ON "BOOZE" SELLING CHARGE. An indictment filed by the Douglas county grand jury this afternoon ac cuses Harry Strong of violating the local option law by the alleged sell ing of intoxicating liquor. Strong was admitted to ball in the sum of $300, as against $500 fixed in the cases of the four men indicted on similar charges six days ago. Strong was formerly a bartender for Joseph Bartholomay, one of the other four Indictees, nnd he is ex pected to be a witness against him. He was one of the stnte's witnesses in the case against Edward Morton, the vaudeville strong man, who was convicted by a jury Thursday of the crime of lewd cohabitation. It was expected that one of the local option cases would be put on trial this afternoon, but at 4:30 o- clock a jury was still hearing the case of J. Woodruff against the Southern Pacific Company, an action to recover $530 damages for the loss of three horses, killed by a train. WORK OF TWO DlttTHICT CONVENTIONS, W. O. V. At the district W. O.

Hailey, of Lakevlew, were elected delegates to the state encampment, whii-h con venes in Portland July 2". Klamath Falls was selected as the next meet ing place. At the concurrent district conven tion of the order at Newberg, resolu tions were offered regarding "Scal ing of Policies" and "Deaf Mutes as Members." The latter measure pro voked a lengthy and heated argu ment and while the convention sus tained the adverse report of the com mittee, the delegates were Instructed to present the matter to the head session so that conflicting rulings of the past may be corrected. The convention endorsed the sug gestion of Delegate Mottor that dele gates at the head session urge the sovereign ritualistic committee to change the closing ode as now used In the ritual from "America" to "The Star Spangled Banner." John H. Hartog, whom the nose burg Commercial Club la trying to secure for a "booster," left today for Eugene and Portland on business. I He. will return here In a few days.' by which time the necessary fund , with which to employ him will prob ably have been subscribed.

H, Russell, 68 Years of Age, Killed at Wilbur ONCOMING TRAIN UNHEEDED Strolled Along Edge of Track With Mind Freoccopied Railroad Company Not Blamed Walking leisurely along the edge of the railroad truck, in an apparent state of mental abstraction, Mrs. Frances H. Uussell, an elderly lady. of this city, was Btruck and killed by the engine of southbound passenger train No. 19, at the Southern Paciiic depot at Wilbur late Thursday after noon. The train brought the body to Koseuurg, where Coroner N. T. Jewett this morning held an inquest that resulted in the verdict that Mrs. Russell's death "was caused by her own negligence." The members of the coroner a jury were A. A. Wilder, B. W. Strong, R. H. C. Wood. H. Guest, B. F. Gilbert and C. K. Root. Mrs. Russell was 68 years of age. She had been visiting Thursday with her son, E. H. Russell, who lives near Wilbur on the place formerly owned by Rev. F. W. Leonard. Intent upon returning to this city in the evening, Mrs. Russell bought a rail road ticket at the Wilbur depot, a few minutes before train No. 19 was due, aud then, to occupy her time, she strolled slowly down the edge of the track on the granite depot. To all appearances she became lost to all sense of danger, not moving away from the track when the whistle of the locomotive was sounded nor when the locomotive came speeding behind her with the bell clanging constantly. The pilot beam of the engine struck Mrs. Russell in the back and hurled her several feet away. Several bystanders who witnessed the acci dent, as well as hundreds of passen gers returning to Roseburg from the Sutherlln carnival, hurried to where the aged woman lay. She gasped feebly for a few minutes and then expired. Testifying nt the inquest today, Dr. Geo. E, iiouck, who made an examination of the remains, said that Mrs. Russell sustained no broken bones, but that the shock to her sys tem generally as the result of the terrific blow from the locomotive was responsible for her death. J. F. ("Curly") McQunld was the engineer of the train. He said he did not see Mrs. Russell In time to stop his engine, but that the bell sounded warning in plenty of time for her to have moved out of the way had she heeded It. Mrs. Rus sell's son had gone back to his farm before the train pulled into the de pot, but word of the tragic occur rence was sent to him Immediately. He returned to the depot In all haste, hut too late to see his mother alive. He is at loss to account for his mother's failure to notice the ap proach of the train and, like others, he inclines to the reasonable theory that her mind at the time was wholly absorbed with other thoughts. Mrs. Russell and her surviving husband, H. J. Russell, came to this city from New York about eight years ago. A bungalow being built for them on Flint street Is about one-half completed. Besides the son at Wilbur, there survives one daugh ter, Mrs. L. I. Ferguson, who ar rived here this morning with her husband from Portland. Funernl services will he conducted by Rev. J. N. McConnell tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock at the Chris tian church, of which Mrs. Russell was a member. In the afternoon in terment will occur at Wilbur, to where the remnins will be taken on the afternoon train. At The STAR.

We still hear war extolled at times as the mother of valor and the prime agency In the world's advance ment. Uy it, we are told, civlllziition has spread and nations been creuted. slavery abolished, the American Union preserved. It is even held that without war human progress would have been Impossible. The Answer: Men were first sava ges who preyed upon each other like wild beasts, and so they developed a physical courage which they shared with the brutes. Moral courage was unknown. War was almost their sole occupation. Peace existed only for short periods that tribes might re gain strength to resume the sacred duty of Killing each other. Advance In civilization was impos sible while war reigned. Only as wars became less frequent and long Intervals of peace supervened,' could civilization, the mother of true hero- ism, take root. Civilization has ad vanced just as war has receded, until In our day peace has become the rule and war the exception. Arbitration of international disputes grows more und more In favor. Successive gen erations of men now live and die without seeing war; and Instead of the army and navy furnishing the only careers worthy of gentlemen, it is with difficulty that civilized na tions can today obtain a sufficient supply of either ollicers or men. In the past man's only method for removing obstacles and attaining de sired ends was to use brute courage. The advance of civilization has de veloped moral courage. we use more beneficent menns than men did of old. Britain In the eighteenth century used force to prevent American Independence. In more recent times she graciously grants Canada the rights denied America; and. Instead ot coercing the Dutch in South Africa, wins them by granting self-Rovernment. The United States also receives an award of the power against China, and. iindlug It In ex cess of her expenditures, in the spirit of the newer time, returns ten mil lions of dollars. Won by this act of justice, China devotes the sum to the education of Chinese student'B in the Republic's universities. The greatest force Is no longer that of brutal war, which sows the seeds of future wars, but the supreme force of gentleness and generosity the golden rule. The pen is rapidly superseding the sword. Arbitration Is banishing war, More than five hundred International disputes have already boon peace fully settled. Civilization, not bar barism, Is the mother of true hero ism. Our lately departed poet and dis ciple of peace, Richard Watson Ollder. has left us the answer to the false Idea that bruto force employed against our fellows ranks with heroic moral courage exerted to save or serve them; T was said: "When roll of drum and battle's roar Shall cease upon tho earth, O, then no more Tho deed, the race, of heroes In the lund. But scarce the word was breathed when one small hand Lifted victorious o'er a giant wrong That had Its victims crushed through ages long; Some woman set her pule und quiver ing face. Firm as a rock, against a man's dis grace: A little child suffered In silence lest His savage pain sliould wound mother's breast; Some quiet scholar flung his gaunt let down And risked, in Truth's great name, the synod s frown; A civic hero. In the calm realm of laws. Did that which suddenly drew world's applause: And one to the pest his lithe young body gave That he a thousands Uvea might save. On the field of carnage men lose all human instincts in the struggle to protect themselves. The true heroism Inspired by moral courage prompts firemen, policemen, sailors, miners, and otherB to volunteer and risk their lives to save the lives of their fcllowmen. Such heroism is now an everyday occurrence. In our age there Is no more rea son for permitting war between civi lized nations thnn for relaxing the reign of law within nations, which compels men to submit their per sonal disputes to peaceful courts, and never dreams that hy so doing they will be made less heroic. A peace league of the foremost nations should put an end to the possibility of war among themselves and compel other nations to submit their disputes to peaceful tribunals. Since war decides not which Is wrong, but only which Is strong, it is difficult to understand how a truly heroic or conscientious man can ever favor appeal to It. unless, after proffering peaceful arbitration, his ennntrv is attacked. Should ever our country have a dispute with another, the demand should come from an Irreslstahle number of the most enlightened and heroic of our people that our iov 'eminent should "In Its ngnt nam ! carry gentle peace," and offer Its ad vervry arbitration. i When war ceascB the sense of human brotherhood will be streng thened nnd "Heroism" will no longer mean to kill, but only to servo or save our fclloifsv I J GOVERNOR RENSON ASKS -j.

ACIFIC COAST POORLY PROTECTED FROM ENEMY. In a speech in Congress, Thursday, Representative James McLachlan said: "The Paciiic count-line stretches, exposed to an active enemy, for more than IfiOO miles. Unless we were also to ascertain with certainty in advance at what point landing was actually to be attempted, the trans portation of our troops to that point in time to prevent successful Invasion would be Impossble. Certainly the transportation of troops in sufficient numbers from Washington or Oregon to California, or the reverse, would bo impossible In time to prevent an invasion expected by us along one of these stutcs, but actually attempt ed on the coast of another. In other words, thero are three distinct theaters ot operation nlong the Pa cific coast perhaps more. Effect ually to prevent landing of a foreign foe within one of these we sliould have to have sufficient troopB in each In readiness to oppose the first efforts of an invading army. What have we available for this purpose should the necessity arise? Our main army at its authorized strength is now nbout SO. 000 strong. Hut 20,000 of these are const defense troopB. They would not bo available for use with a Hold army nt a time of threatened In vasion. On tho contrary, not only would their presence in the sea-coast works be necessary, but they would probably require double their num ber of mobllo troops for the protec tion of tho sen-coast works them selves against raids by small landing parties under cover of night or fog, and all this without looking to the true defense of the works In the rear, lint let us leave this out of consideration. Let us count on our enemy believing our coast guns prop orly emplnced and defended, nnd so undertaking his landing operations beyond their sphere of defense. Probably lie would do thiB under anv circumstances to save time. We will therefore deduct only the coast de fense troops themselves. nut tills reduces the regulars available to (10.000. Of these some 10,000 are in the Philippines. Alaska, Hawaii, and Porto Rico. If wn consider now the non-combatants, sick, and absent, we will find our available force for defensive purposes In tho United StnteB Is not more than 30,000 men. John E. Unger. tho S.
