$25,000,000.
WILL OUTDO CORONATION
King George, Aoconwanlcd by Queen,
Will Ilo First British Monarcli to
Ever Visit Over Sea. Dominions
l'n rot Make It Necessary.
London, Nov. 11. King George
and Queen Mary left London this
morning for Southampton, en route
for India where they will hold the
much boomed Coronation Durbar,
and despite the misery, from drought,
famlno and plague, prevailing
throughout the peninsula, will en
deavor to Impress their oriental sub
jects by lavish expenditure, and what
many openly call wanton extrava
gance. The cost of the trip will be enor
mous, arliament has voted $600,000
for expenses to this end, and the In
dian government announces that It Is
spending 15, 625, 000 on the festivities
but the total official bill will be any
thing from twelve to twenty millions.
The cost of the coronation was
heavy enough, and with money badly
needed for social reforms In England,
and even more su In India, vigorous
protects have been raised against such
reckless waste, but the present unrest
in the Moslem world has has con
vinced British statesmen that soma
sort of a splash is necessary, and ac
cordingly the Durbar with Its attend
ant pageantry has been arranged to
Impress the natives with the power
and majesty of the "British UaJ."
From the purely spectacular point
of view the Durbar will be the most
brilliant function that has taken
place In India In centuries. In the an
cient capital of the Mogul emperors,
King George will present himself to
the people wearing the Imperial robes
and crown, whilst the heralds pro
claim him Kaiser -i-Hlnd, or Emper
or of India. It will be the first visit
of a Britl.-h monarch to India, or fori
that matter to any of his overseas'
dominions after his coronation, and i
It will be the first time for centuries'
that the crown and Jewels and regal
It have been taken out of England.

MABEL WARNER BADLY BEATEN
BY A 1DH ASSAILANT
Alleged Maker of Self Benefitting Wills Attacked
in Her Home By Unknown Man
Assault Made While Husband is Absent and With Only
Small Son Present Bedridden Woman Declares
Enemies in Will Case Did It.
Mrs. Mabel Warner, alleged maker of logus wills, was almost put out of
the long fight over the estato of James Young, Tuesday night when some un
known assailant attacked her In her home tin South Tustia street, choked
and beat her into iasensilrility, and, after he had ransacked tho house pre
sumably for iaers, left her lying on the floor where she liud fallen. For,
four days now she luis been lying In her lied, weak, suffering and rational
only at times, attended by a doctor, a nurse and her husband and today her
condition warrants the belief that she will recover from the effects of her
harsh treatment.
This sensational Incident, in one of
the most famous property battles In
the hlftory of the state, just leaked
out today. The officers having care
fully guarded ' it from the public In
hope of more ' effectively conducting
their search for the assailant.
Story of Assault.
According to the story told by Mrs.
Warner, she was alone In the house
with her little boy Tuesday night, her
husband having gone to the Sturgis
Wyrick ranch on he reservation
where he is working. About mid
night, or early in the morning, she
was awakened by a knock at the back
door. Thlnk'ng her husband had re
turned, she called him by name, ask
ing If it were he. "Yes," came the
answer, she said, aod she opened the
door.
She had just time to see a large
man dressed in black and with his
face concealed, when she was seized
about the throat with violent hands
and choked Into Insensibility.
She knew no more, she Bays, until
several hours later when she half re
covered her senses, to find herself
nearly frozen on the floor and with a
throbbing pain in her head. Dazed
and almost helpless she yet managed
to drag herself to her bed, when she
again lost consciousness.
House Ransacked.
In the morning her little boy dis
covered her and, frightened by her
condition, hastily summoned a neigh
bor woman, Mrs. Arbogast. The .at
tended to her until Mr. Warner ar
rived when a physician was called.
Claim Enemies Ilcvponsible.
Mr. Warner, upon his arrival, be
gan an investigation of the house and
found everything "In a topsy-turvy
state. Drawers had been opened,
boxes, trunks, chests and every con
ceivable hiding place for valuables
rifled, but all that was missing was a
few small coins. Jewelry on the
dresser had been left untouched. Box
es containing private papers were in
a particularly upset condition and
both Mr. and Mrs. Warner declare
emphatically that it was no common
thief in search of valuables that com
mitted the assault and assert with
equal tmphasis that the deed was done
by a hireling of her enemies in the
hope of securing certain papers that
have a bearing on the Young property.
"(Jive Me n C'lmnee," She Says.
A representative of the East Ore
gonian called at the Warner home this
afternoon and found Mrs. Warner in

GOLDEN GIRL COMPANY'S PROPERTY IS
ATTACHED TO SATISFY A DEBT CLAIM
Financial troubles have overtaken
the management of the Golden Girl
theatrical company which played to
a small house at the Oregon theatre
last night. During the progress of
the show tho proceeds of the box of
fice were attached by James Welch
of Portland to collect an account of
$200. Accordingly the office was oc
cupied during the evening by Sheriff
Taylor, his deputy George Strand,
and Dan P. Smythe, attorney for the
plaintiff in the attachment suit.
There is still another chapter to the
story and It is one that involves T.
F O'Brien, agent for the O.-W. H. &
X. to his sorrow. Upon assurances
that tho sales of seats at tho local
theatre would reimburse him Mr. O'
bed. flushed, with a high fever, so
weak she could scarcely talk and with
a bad bruise on one of her temples.
At first she refused, to make any
statement regarding the attack upon
her, but finally said feebly, "If they
are going to kill me, I guess I might
as well die." - In a l'ttle while, how
ever, as her husband and nurse told
the story of the midnight visitor, the
light of battle again shone In her
eyes as the militant spirit for which
she is noted was aroused. "Tell the
people," she said, as she weakly tried
to rise, "that they have followed Dr.
Wattg and his gang for six years and
have not found the light but that if
they will follow me six days I will
bring them to it. The public has
been against me In this fight and have
not given me a fair deal. If they will
allow me to submit the testimony I
have and will listen o my witnesses
I can clear this matter up In short
order. If not there will be murder
done."
Not tlie First Attempt.
When a-ked what she meant by her
last statement, she said, "I mean that
they will kill me. This is not the
first time that an attempt has been
made on my life. When I had my
will before County Judge Gilliland
several years ago and as I was com
ing to town one evening, someone
shot at me from a grain field and, if
I had been an inch taller they would
have won their case then. I never
have told th's before, for what was
tho use? But if a woman is not safe
from her enemies in her own home,
it's almost time to quit. But the next
man that comes to my door at night
will be met with a bullet, you can bet
on that."
"They were looking for papers al
right," she said in answer to a ques
tion, "but they didn't find them and
they won't find them in this house,"
she added triumphantly.
Sheriff Taylor was notified of the
attack early Wednesday morning and
Is making an Investigation.
MOB AND POLICE
FIGHT; N. Y. TIEDUP
New York, Nov. 11. The police
were compelled to erect barricades of
carts across some of the principal
streets today to protect strikebreak
ers from the attacks of mobs of strik
ing garbagemen.
The streets are blocked for miles by
congested traffic and confus'on Is
added to by thousands of spectators.
The police threatened to shoot If
the barricades are stormed Mayor
Gaynor is determined to win the
strike.
Ja-por Temploton was among thn
ITernrston residents spending the
night in the city.
C P. Bowman, a former Butter
creek rancher and stockman. Is trans
acting business in Pendleton today.
Brien provided the troupe with trans
portation from The Dalles to Pendle
ton and it amounted to $150. But
when he sought the money last even
ing it had already been spoken for
and Mr. O'Brien stands short $150.
However he Is hoping to recoup his
loss by attaching the company's re
ceipts at La Grando where the
"Golden Girl is to bo presented this
evening.
Though tho musical company Is
provided with some good costumes It
failed to make a deep impression last
evening and In vlow of the straits
It. to which the manager's exchequer
has gotten it seems evident that It
has not met with overflowing favor
elsewhere
