BIG HOTELS SUFFER
London, June 21. Anticipation of the clinkx of tomor
row's coronation, 2,000 ambulances, hundreds of physi
cians and nurses and emergency hospitals have been en
gaged to care for casualties which are considered inevit
Q)le. Preparations are made against accidents in case
Tany of the grand stands collapse, or fire breaks out.
Precautions were redoubled today f o guard the visiting
royalty. All houses along the line of march were inspect
ed by S.cotland Yard to see no plots or bombs existed. To
night the big gates will be closed and a rectangle tWo and
one half miles across and three miles long in the central
..jiart of London where the ceremonies occur tomorrow

enter or depart from the rectangle save those with passes.
it is expected that tyie embargo against trade in the rec
tangle will cause a serious inconvenience in the hotels
as. the congestion of. traffic was so heavy last night that
provisions to last through the two days were not all re
ceived and only a little more could be secured today. ...
' The coronation robes, jewels :an& otherlregalia were
carried today from Buckingham palace to Westminster
abbey. They are under special guard of the king s lite
ards.
erected have been pluced on tbe route
of Friday's procession, which is ex
pected to afford a more elaborate spec
tacle than that of tomorrow. Patient
folks who rise early may secure stand
Ing room along the street curbs, but
they will have to stanl on tiptoe to
see over the bearskin hats of the' Foot
Guards, tall fellows, all o them, even
if they endure the hour3 of tedious
waiting and have the luck to retain
their places.
Many Ijojal Visitors.
The coronation has attracted to Lon
don more royal visitors than hns ever
been seen here at one time bfote. In
the state rooms of St. Jamei' palace
tonight the Duke of Connaught gives a
dinner in their honor. On? of the
most distinguished of the foreign dele
gations is that from Japan; which in
cludes Prince Fushimi, Admiral Toso
and General Nogi. Prince Henry of
Prussia and his wife, who represent
the German emperor and empresVare
doubly related to the king, through
Prince Henry's mother, Empress Fred
erick and Princess Henry's mother.
Princess Alice. The crown prince and
princess of Roumania are well known
in England. The crown princess is
King George's first cousin and sptnt
her childhood In England. She will be
perhaps the handsomest of the foreign
princesses attending the ceremony.
Duchess of Aosta a Beauty.
The Duchess of Aosta, wife of the
heir presumptive' to the throne of Italy,
will be the crown princess of Rou
manian chief royal rival in the mat
ter of good looks. She was married,
when Helena d'Orleans, to the Duke of
Aosta, at Kingston on the Thames, and
she made her social debut at a Marl
borough house garden party, so a visit
to England is rather like a home com
ing to her. Other interesting; foreign
visitors here for the ceremony tomor
row are Prince Henry of the Nether
lands, the crown prince of Servla,
Prince Yusut Izzed-Din of Turkey, the
Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Aus
tria, the crown prince of Denmark, the
crown prince and princess of Sweden,
and Prince and Princess Johann Georg
of Saxony.
Tindnn .Tuno 21. Th poronfttion Of
- - . -i
King George and Queen Mary is the.
one topic uppermost in the minds of
the people of London today. For while
the brilliant ceremony will be one of
world-wide Interest, it is in London
that the great and glorious scenes as
sociated with the event will be carried
on. . 1 '
London tomorrow will be the scene of
such magnificent pageantry and repre-
antation of power and might as will
lipse the glories of the Jubilee cele
brations of 1887 and 1897 and the cor
onation of Edward VII in 1902, and
will provide for all who have the privi
lege of seeing it, a vision of splendor
unequaled in recent times. King and
courtier, military and civil officials,
lord mayor and citizens, have all, in
their respective spheres, concentrate!
. ther efforts in the welding together of
jjthe multifarious parts in a pageant
which will lack nothing in' its wealth
of color and brilliancy.
The Coronation Processions.
v With that willingness which has
Over characterized the king and queen

of this loyal subjects, arrangements
have been made for two royal proces
sions through the streets of the me
tropolis. The first will take place to
morrow when their majestlces go from
Buckingham palace to Westminster
abbey to be crowned, and the second
on Friday when they proceed from the
palace to the city proper, where they
will be received by the lord mayor and
corporation in state. This will mean r.
drive through the center of London,
and then, In order that all classes may
have an opportunity of taking part In
the celebrations, their majesties will
cross London bridge and return on
m the south side of the Thames, passing
fj through some of the meaner streets of
the metropolis. To nine-tenths of the
people of London) seeing the corona
tion will mean merely seeing the great
procession of Friday.

row the king and queen will go to
Westminster abbey by the shortest
route from Buckingham palace,

with her to desert See. She refused.

Reese. . Mildred admitted Bhe believed
See's teaching, but she could not re
member any religious rites practiced
at, thei "Junior commonwealth" that
were damaging; she could not recall
