PICTURE SCHEME IN COURT Man "Who Roped to Get Something for Kofhtnff Tells Game. The aeralnst J. Ba-tavia, an em ploye of the Commercial Art Studio. 4 jjirst street, and Samuel Smir nough, one of the proprietors of the studio, were continued in Justice Court yesterday until today, when the two defendants will appear to answer a charge of larceny by bailee. The men are alleged to have used fraudulent means to obtain possession of photo graphs and then attempting to force the owners to pay for enlargments made from the originals. The method of procedure said to have been used In some of the cases is to have an employe of the firm repre sent himself as' connected with the art department of The Oregonlan. ask for the photographs of pioneers for repro duction in the Sunday Issues and then make enlargements which he attempted to sell for $1 with a side charge of $4.50 for the frame. Refusal to return the photographs led to the arrest of the two men on Saturday on a charge of larceny by bailee. That still other methods were used by this firm in obtaining photographs is the statement made by C. A. Wil son, of 422 Couch street, who says he had met with a somewhat similar treat ment at the hands of these same opera tors. Mr. Wilson tells of a man coming to him from the Commercial Art Studio, who gave his name as Berger and of fered to make enlargements free of charge. Just to show what could be done. The Inference which Mr. Wilson says he was led to draw was that the work was to be done by Arne K. Ber ger. a well-known artist. When the picture was returned in its enlarged form, Mr. Wilson says a man giving the name of Millard brought it and de livered the picture for nothing as he had offered, but demanded $4 or S5 for a frame before he would surrender" the enlargement. Mr. Wilson tells that he refused to pay this amount and so had lost nothing. PERSONALMENTION. Charles Wesley, a merchant of Scio, Or., is at the Perkins Hotel. J. B.

Duties, How ewer, May Be Extended. Eastern Man May' Be Sought for General Managership. "Nothing in It." That was the terse answer of President George B. French of the North. Bank road to a question Involving ' the promotion of Harry Adams, general freight and passenger agent of his road, to a managership on the recently combined Hill steam and electric roads centering in Port land. Mr. French declared the rumor to be without foundation and was at & loss to account for it. The rumor in effect was that Mr. Adams is to be either general manager of the properties of the North Bank, Oregon Electric and United Railways, or general traffic manager of these systems. Mr. Adams himself left yesterday morning for Chicago to attend a freight conference and probably will be gone 10 days. He has had wide experience in railroad work In the Northwest, lut no doubt will be retained in his pres ent position. There is said, however, to be a possibility of an extension of his duties, covering the electric lines. The appointment of a successor to Guy W. Talbot, who recently resigned as general manager of the Oregon Elec tric, and George F. Nevins. as traffic manager, is the all-absorbing subject of interest in railroad circles. It is probable, however, that some man will be brought from the East to take the general managership. L. B. Wickersham. it is said, prob ably will be retained as general man ager of the United Railways. An im portant conference between him and John F. Stevens, president of the Ore gon Trunk, will be held today, which may develop something of interest in the local situation. . It is understood that all of these questions will be settled on the return of the Hill party from Eastern Oregon. Export of Hungarian thean to the United States la ISO -vera est Ui value .of XI.-. DEATH ENHANCES POLITICAL CRISIS British Tory Leaders Talk of Conference to Make Truce With Liberals. CHARACTER KING PROBLEM More Set In Opinion Than Father, If He Should Take Course Against Democracy, Throne May Be In Danger From Populace, LONDON. May 9. (Special.) Anxi ety as to the political future of Great Britain might almost be said to domi nate the mourning for King Edward. All classes discuss the question in a vein . of seriousness, if not apprehension,- and depression. Tory leaders, who provoked the crisis and who formerly spoke of plans of the Liberals in a tone of indiffer ence and even insolence, realize that a situation of Immense difficulty has arisen and they recommend a confer ence of the two parties to avoid, if possible, an open conflict. King May Shatter Throne. The personality of "George V is con sidered by many an element of dan ger. The new King 'is much more set in his opinions than was his father, and those who know him well declare that he is more direct in his methods, if his force of character is not greater. Popularity with the country is yet to be achieved by him and, if he should take a line of action not sympathetic with democracy, it is asserted that the latter would turn against him and would be satisfied with nothing less than the downfall of the throne. Thoughtful men wish to see a sus pension of the crisis brought about in some manner. The new King must have a civil list and the power to grant It lies in the hands of the Liberal parfy. If the King should refuse to aid the Liberals In carrying out their policy the Liberals might retaliate and thus bring about a situation fraught with gravest danger. Shall Lords or Commons Rule? Essentially the change of monarchs alters nothing as to the controversy between the two houses of Parliament. This is so because the relation of the crown to the difficulty has been not a personal but a constitutional issue. Briefly put, the question is, shall the Commons or Lords rule the coun try? So at least the Liberals under stand the situation. They assert with renewed emphasis that reform must be prosecuted until the House of Lords has lost Its power to block legisla tion in the House of Commons. FORMAL PROCLAMATIONS MADE Country Resumes Business While Awaiting Date of Funeral. LONDON, May 9. George V was pro claimed King throughout the empire to day with all the traditional ceremony of centuries. In Dublin the Ulster king-at-arms.read the proclamation in the pres ence of Lord Aberdeen, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and Lady Aberdeen. The country is now beginning to resume its normal life, the King's) earnest desire being that, except on the day of the funeral of King Edward, which Is fixed for May 20, the national mourning shall Inflict no sacrifices upon the people. Premier Asquith and Reginald Mc Kenna, first lord of the Admiralty, ar rived in London tonight. Other members of the Cabinet and officials holding prom inent positions under the government are hastening to the capital. Haakon "and Maud Arrive. King Kaakon and Queen Maud, of Nor way, were met at the station tonight by King George and Queen Mary and young Prince Olaf threw his arms around his uncle's neck The party drove imme diately to Buckingham palace, where they view the body of the late King. The brief religious service was held in the chapel. The King, in a leter to the theatrical managers, expressed the wish that the theaters reopen until the day of the funeral, on account of the number of people who would be thrown out of work by the closing of the houses. This plan will be carried out. The King issued another letter. In which he said: 'Knowing so well the feelings of my beloved father, I am sure it would be contrary to his wishes that there should be any Interruption to the enjoyment of the public during the Whitsuntide holi days. I therefore hope the general mourning will not prevent my people from taking the usual advantage of 'the various opportunities afforded them for the coming days." Medieval Forms . Observed. The public proclamation of the acces sion of the new King was conducted after the time-hoonred forms brilliant, im pressive and medieval. At the stroke of 9, four heralds, in scarlet and gold, mounted the balcony of Friary Court at St. James Palace, where Queen Victoria presented herself to the people upon the opening of her memorable reign, and blew a fanfare through their long silver trumpets. The heralds having concluded thier du ties, the officers of arms, chief of whom is the Duke of Norfolk, the hereditary Earl Marshal and Chief Butler of Eng land, took their places on the balcony forming the great heraldic company. None wore mourning, this having been removed for the occasioin. Sir Alfred Scott Scott-Gatty, garter king-at-arms, with the Duke of Norfolk and two offi cers bearing the staves of office, stepped to the front of the balcony and read the proclamation, while great throngs stood uncovered in a drizzling rain. The Duke and Sir Alfred then called for three cheers for the King, and the people responded with deafening hurrahs, which were silenced . only by . the reappearance of the heralds, who sounded another fanfare. The last note had scarcely died away when the band of the Coldstream Guards, which had taken up a position in the square, struck up "God Save the King." The young princes from their point of vantage In the windows of Marlborough House stood at salute and the officers and troops stood at attention. People Join In Refrain. Then followed the royal salute by a batter yin St. James' Square, and the people at the same moment took up the refrain of "God Save the King." This probably was the most impres sive part of the ceremony, the fervent singing of the crowds growing In vol ume as more and more Bingers Joined in, while at minute intervals the guns half drowned the chorus.

The royal standard at Buckingham Palace alone remained at half mast. The popular demonstration at an end, the Earl Marshal and his attendants proceeded to the Ambassador's Court, whence they drove to Charing Cross and thence to the City of London to read the proclamation to the people at the designated points. The route to the city proper was lined with 7000 troop's, while at - the places at which the procession stopped and repeated the ceremony, troops and horse guards were stationed. Old City Entered. Along the Strand the procession con tinued through lines of troops and crowds of people to Temple Bar. at the boundary of the city, where the Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, Aldermen and offi cers of the City of London, all in their robes of office, awaited the coming of the Earl Marshal. The ceremony here was of long du ration and more elaborate, the City of London to this day retaining its ancient privilege of barring the entrance of the King's men to the esquare mile in which its officers rule. The City Marshal, riding forward, challenged the approach of the pro cession with the cry, "Halt! Who goes there?" The reply, "The officer at arms, who demands entrance to the city to pro claim Mis Royal Majesty's accession," came from the pursuivant. The Lord Mayor, having been in formed of the presence of the royal herald, and having given Tils permis sion for entrance into the city, the rouged dragoon stepped across the boundary and handed the Chief Magis trate the Privy Council's order, that the proclamation be made. The throng that crowded the narrow street stood in silence watching the proceedings. The Lord Mayor then alighted from his carriage and read the proclamation and declared that "our high Aid mighty Prince George has now become our only lawful and righteous liege lord, George V," following the words with the cry "God save the King." The words were caught up by the crowd and swelled to a mighty chorus that filled the Strand and Fleet street. Parliament Swears Allegiance. The Rouse of Lords reassembled to day and the ceremony of taking the oath of allegiance to the new King was continued. Fifty peers were so sworn. The House of Commons also met today to permit its members to swear allegiance to King George. The singing of the National anthem marked the reopening of the Stock Ex change today, the members of which forthwith got down to work with a de termination to discountenance any bear attacks. The tone was steady from the start with a hardening of prices. Lead ing American securities were put up more than a point of parity, helping the general advance. The law courts upon resuming their sessions today made it the first busi ness of the judges and other officers to take the oath of allegiance. Immediately after the funeral of her husband, it is expected that thje Queen Mother will retire to aandrlngnam pal ace, which King Edwar"d some. .years ago made over to her as a dower house.
