Later Ambassador and Mrs. Hammond went to Windsor In a royal motor with other coronation visitors . and looked over the palace. The foreign churches In London, as well as the Knzllsh churches, held cor onation thanksgiving jiervlce. That at the Roman Catholic Cathedral of Westminster was unusually Impres sive. It was the nrst opportunity for more than two centuries that the Eng lish Catholics had had of Joining their fellow countrymen In rejoicing; at the coronation of a monarch without the feeling; of resentment that the dead hand of bygone prejudice made the oc casion one of condemnation of the cen tral tenets of their faith. It waa a notable and large comers faoon. including the Duke of Norfalk. the Karl Marshal of the coronation ceremonies, who Is a leader of the Knglisn Catholics, the Earl of Dcnlgh. the Karl of Kenmar. Lord Seaton. Lord Granard. many members of Parliament. numerous members of the forelrn coro nation missions and non-Catholic mem bers of the aciseocracy. Prayer Are Offered. At the consecration of the host, the Pope's envoy to the coronation, who led the service, surrounded "by dlgnl tarles of the cathedral, knelt at the high altar aad offered prayers for the King and Queen. Magnificent as waa the coronation scene. King George has let It he known that he will get. more pleasure as a man out of the garden party he mill rive next Friday at Crystal Palace to London's school children. This will be the largest assemblage of Its kind In all history, the royal Invitations run ntng to more than tOO.IXX). Queen Mary also places the function foremost among- the coronation festivities In her esteem as a woman. "That la the day above atl othera." she said, "that I hope for. the young folks at Crystal Palace will be the loveliest bed of flowers upon which an Krgllsh sun ever looked down." Sac (est ion Made by Queen. It was on her suggestion that the Kins; decided to give the party. The youngsters will assemble la 44 dif ferent railway stations ar.d be carried to fie palace without change of cars by it special trains, each under charge of a "train commander" and bearing two skilled nurses.

The collection hadvjust been taken,. the communion dispensed and Mr. Fields had Just started to preach on "The Duty of God and Man," when Adams retired to the ante-room with the collection plates. As he completed counting the money, he was confronted by a masked man with a gun. "Give me that money," the fellow said. He then made Adams pick up the money and hand it over. Then with the gun still pointed at Adams, he .backed slowly out the door and es caped. Adams decided not to inform the pastor of what had happened until af ter the sermon.

PLANS LAID FOR TWO YEARS Bourne Provides Coin and Ex pects to Be Tail of Kite. . OREGON SOLON AMBITIOUS Failure of First "Boom"' to Arouse Enthusiasm I,cads I.a Follette to Issue Statements Vrging Himself for President. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, June 25. Senator La Follette, of Wisconsin, Presidential aspirant and enemy of President Taft, has been un dertaking to make it appear that ha entered the race for the 1912 nomina tion in response to a general demand from insurgent Republicans. This is shown by the fact that a petition, ap pealing to La Follette to make tho fight, was prepared in La Follette's of fice, turned over to Representative Norris, of Nebraska, and by him circu lated among the Insurgent members of the House for signature. On the Sen ate end of the Capitol Senator Bourne was the instrument through which the insurgents were reached. Why "Fighting Bob" should want the country to believe that he was coaxed Into entering the Presidential race is difficult to understand. Such a thing 1b contrary to his nature, and so ab surd on its face that it would fool no orwe. As a matter of fact. La Follette has been planning to enter the race of 1912 for at least two years past, and there has been no secret about it, so far as the public is concerned. Trie formal announcement of La Follette 3 candidacy caused no surprise. Bourne's Erfort Failure. As a matter of fact. Senator Bourne, of Oregon, as much as two months ago, made an abortive attempt to launch the La Follette boom In a speech which he read in Boston. This speech was prepared in Washington, with La. Follette's knowledge and assistance;; was carried to Boston, and there sprung upon what was believed to be a re ceptive audience. But coming froon Senator Bourne, the announcement oc casioned only passing notice, for it contained nothing new, nothing start ing, and nothing impressive. Hence, it became necessary to have a Becond, launching, and this time La FolleU.9 decided to engineer the affair. A second announcement was prepared in Senator La Follette's office, and giv en out for publication In a Democratio paper in Washington, which has from the first been supporting La Follette) and the radical wing of the insurgent faction. This announcement, written, to fool again the public,' conveyed tha impression that La Follette. after en treaties by his friends, had decided to enter the Presidential race, and waa planning to make his own announce- ment within a month. Preliminary Statement Insplrcil. "Whlle Senator La Follette will maka no formal announcement of his candi dacy until he thinks the proper tlraa has arrived, there Is no doubt that ho Is at this time actually In quest of tha Presidential nomination," Bald this forerunner of the formal announcement. This, and other features, as stated, were written In Senator La Follette's office, after the petition had been pre pared for the signature of insurgenia in the House. Then followed the declaration tha La Follette is going to carry his fighf Into the Republican National Conven tion and strive to get control of thai body; that he will meantime wage hla fight In every state in the Union, and that he will make a big dent in the Taft renomination movement. It waa pointed out that five states, Oregon, Nebraska. New Jersey. North Dakota and Wisconsin, have passed Presiden tial preference laws, and the statement was made that these five states will be so strongly antl-Taft when the del egates to the next convention are chosen as to check tho Taft movement, and give a big advantage to the La Follette boom. The election of dele gates to the National convention from these five states, it is expected, will precede the selection of delegates ir other states, and if these five are solid ly for La Follette, it was pointed out that a stampede would probably follow. Which was all very modest, considering? It came from Senator La Follette's of fice. Bourne Would Be Tail of Kite. Harking back a little way. It will bo recalled that in the past Winter a "Republican Progressive League" waa born In Washigton, Jonathan Bourne its proud father. This league waa pledged to promote the progressiva principles of government, and was de clared to stand for "principle, not tha individual." It soon developed, how ever, that the main principle of tha eague was to secure the Presidential Concluded on Pac 3.) r I HE i io.2T
