While the great assemblage cheered madly the ministers saw Pierre Veder Ine. who had been picked up by many as the probable winner of the race, mount easily from the ground and head down the aerodrome, only suddenly to capslse and fall, but emerge unhurt from th-e wreckage of hls machine.

Noted Editor I red lets Renorainatlon or Nation's Clitef Two Paper Read In Trip Abroad.- NEW TORK. May (Special.) Colonel Henry Watterson. looking well and. as he ssys. feeling likewise, ar rived on the steamer Kalserln today. Tha Colonel spent a month In Paris and In that period read two newspa pers printed In English that rave him a lot of American new. He got from them a pretty clear Idea of what was going on in his native land. He said It was untrue that Europeans were not taking serious Interest In the Mexican war. At first they believed that European capital might be endan gered. but now the feeling is one of confidence In the ultimate safe adjust ment of the trouble and. In the wisdom of President Taft. "What Is your opinion of the order of President Taft sending 10.000 troops to the Mexican border?" "Has not. the end Justified the order?" he asked in reply. "There will be peace In Mexico soon." "Have you any faith la the report that Japan has been trying to obtain a coaling station In Mexico?" T have not. I believe we should sell the Philippines to Japan and buy a coaling station In Magdalena Bay. We will have to ue the bay anyway. The Madero government will be successful. and there will be no trouble In effect ing the purchase, as Madero Is friendly with us." The Colonel said he waa sure that President Taft would be renominated by the Republicans, but as to the ques tion of his re-election, said "no man can predict the result of a Presidential election It months hence, more than he can prophesy what kind of weather we are to have and In what condition crops will be then." WOMAN PUZZLES POLICE German Derelict, Deaf and Unable to Write, Cannot Kind Home. The police last night had one of the most difficult problems that baa been presented to them to solve. Patrolman Marline brought to tha station from Union avenue and Russell street an ascd soman who apparently was lost. She spoke German, but could not hear; neither could she read nor write. She was bo bewildered that she could not tell where aha lived. Patrolman Well brook. Oelsner and Wendorf. mho all speak German, failed to establish com munication by worda or writing. Ger man Is not a language that can well be shouted and the loudest efforts were of no avail. Finally the old lady said glut lived near a schoolhouse that waa near a park where children played, and rode on a "I" car. Patrolman Myers was called In and took the woman on a U" car In an effort to flr.d her home. MISS LANGFITT TO WED Colonel's Daughter. Known In Port land. Will Re Bride of Urate nant.

J QUEEN SELECTS CORONATION t ! FLOWER. T LONDON. May 21. Queen Mary I I has done well to select the carnation ? t as her coronation flower. Coronation was Its old name. Spenser has writ- 7 tea somewhere, "bring coronstions I and sops in wine." The carnation Is I a native of Italy. It Is a double flowering variety of the clove pink, existing only as a cultivated flower, of which, however, there are tra ditions ss esrly as the 13th century. 6rarlit. purple and pink are the pre vailing colors, but Milton. In "Para dise Lost." speaks of a fourth: "Each flower of tender stalk, whose head though gay Carnation, purple, asure. or specked with gold." The color of the flower, whatever ft may be. must be clear and distinct to have any value to the florist of today. Fulness of contour and reg ularity of shape also are essential. e LONDON", May 2L (Special.)

The aristocratic owners will either stay with friends or put up at hotels until they can afford to live In their own houses again. Coronation Show of Clothes. There Is no denying "the coronation mill bo one of the greatest demonstra tions of tha power of fine clothes the modern world has seen. And as the majority of the vast congregation who will assemble in Westminster Abbey are themselves part of the pageant.
