— _— THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WED NESDAY, MAY 12, 1937. *% A—S COST OF CORONATION RUNS INTO TENS OF MILLIONS MOST EXPENSIVE SHOW IN HISTORY British Government Spends $2,000,000 on Entertain- ment and Incidentals. LONDON, May 12 (#).—The cost of today's coronation pageantry runs into tens of millions of dollars—in govern- ment and private funds. It ranks as the most expensive one- day show in the history of modern society. Revenue from the coronation sea- son, direct and indirect, is estimated as high as $500,000,000—with over- geas visitors contributing a good share of that. Financially,” and quite aside from pomp and ceremony and splendor, the coronation of King George VI has been spelled out in large dollar signs. To give the general public a 40- minute show—the time it took the coronation procession to pass any given point along the rout?——-requlrcd’ months of preparations and pound notes by the basketful. 2,000,000 Government Cost. As a coronation it is more costly than any Britain has known. The government will have spent $2,000,000 before it is over, in arrangements, in building grandstands for 80,000 per- sons, in police and traffic and in the entertaining of foreign royalty and other distinguished guests. This compares with a million dol- I~rs for the coronation of King George V in 1911 and $1,202,000 for that of George 1V, the most expensive up till now. To build grandstand seats—for a 40-minute procession—the govern- ment allotted $700,000. The royal household alone .s spending $500,000 in entertainment of guests. Ad- miralty expenses, including the coro- nation naval review yet to come, run to more than $100,000. But this represents only a small share of coronation costs in their en- tirety. Individuals participating di- rectly in the coronation—peers and peeresses and others—have spent a combined fortune on clothe:. Private firms have spent large' amounts in decorations. All the boroughs of Lon- don allotted money for their own decorations, for street parties for children, for special coronation fes- tivities. Immense Revenue. ‘To more than compensate in most cases, however, there's the coronation revenue, which spreads all through British trade and indusiry. Railway | companies, steamship companies, ca- terers, restaurants, hotels, dress- makers, wine merchants—all share in the money being spent. Thousands of workers throughout Britain have benefited. Jordon (Continued From First Page.) an attempt had been made “deliber- ately to railroad a man to the elec- tric chair on perjured testimony.” “That's a pretty grave charge,” interrupted Representative Bates, Re- Ppublican, of Massachusetts. “I know it, and I'm willing to bring | in witnesses to prove it,” Holzworth replied. | There is an appalling state of con- ditions in the District,” Holzworth added. “To continue to look on them without taking action is a disgrace to the country.” Jordon Requested Removal. Jordon had requested that Holz- worth be removed as his attorney | efter the lawyer had made similar charges in petitions to the courts. After ordering Holzworth evicted | from his court room, Justice Letts re- quested that United States Attorney Leslie C. Garnett keep him under ob- servation for a day or so. Holzworth, however, left the building before any | action was taken. Holzworth appeared at the Court House before 10 am. and was sitting in Justice Letts’ court room when the Jurist entered. Approaching the bar, he said: “I am here, your honor, as a mem- ber of the District of Columbia Bar to answer certain serious charges re- flecting on my integrity and veracity. For the last two days, they have been in every newspaper in Washington.” He referred to statements made by Jordon when the condemned man stated in open court yesterday that he | wished to discharge Holzworth be- | cause the attorney had “put me in al false position.” As soon as Holzworth made known his mission, Justice Letts interrupted him, saying: ! “Mr. Holzworth, there are no charges pending against you in this court.” Ignoring the judge's remark, Holz- worth continued to express his indig- nation. Justice Letts made two more at- tempts to tell him that “his remarks were out of order because no charges ‘were pending, but Holzworth kept on talking, asserting that he had a right to clear himself. Tells Marshal to Remove Him. Finally, Justice Letts turned quiet- | 1y to a deputy marshall and ordered: | “Take him out.” Deputy Marshal Hugh Duffy placed his hand on Holzworth’s arm and attempted to lead him away, but the attorney, a strongly built man well over 6 feet in height, resisted. An- other deputy, Clayton Gasque, leaped to Duffy's aid, and the assistance of two others was required to carry the struggling shouting lawyer from the court room and out .of the court house. ‘The request for the new trial had Queen Elizabeth. 4] Ki n George V.

LONDON, May 12.—A smiling com- moner shared with her royal husband | the homage of millions today for her | coronation as Queen in Westminster Abbey. In the breath-taking splendor of the coronation scene, the girl who was Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, was of shimmering white satin, embroidered down the front in a panel of pearl and “‘gold-wheat"” beads. But for the Queen, the high point of the historic service lay in the ancient words of prayer intoned by the Archbishop of Canterbury: | *“. ..

So tightly hemmed in were the crowds that only those in the rear- dedicated to the high position she | could scarcely have dreamed of when she played with her brothers and sisters on the Scotch moors. No Scottish Queen had been crowned in Westminster Abbey since the coronation of Matilda, daughter of King Malcom III of Scotland and | wife of King Stephen of England, | 800 years ago. Queen Elizabeth was the first com- moner to be Queen since Henry VIII took his sixth and last wife, Kath- erine Parr, but Katherine was never crowned. Will Be 37 August 4. The Queen, daughter of the proud family of Bowes-Lyon, headed by her father, the Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, will be 37 years old August 4. She is inclined to plumpness, has dark brown hair, bluish-gray eyes with dark lashes and heavy, straight | eyebrows. She is five feet, five inches tall. Queen Elizabeth's lips are lightly rouged as a rule, her eyes shaded, her vigorous, healthy skin whitened with a liquid powder.

She was brought up at grim-walled Glamis (pronounced Glarms) Castle that has stood for nine centuries. The ninth of 10 children, she led a simple life of quiet evenings at home, of poetry reading and of long walks in the country. While peers and peeresses of the realm and humble citizens alike paid homage to her, she in turn paid hom- age to her liege lord whom she wed in 1923 when he was Duke of York with | scarcely more than a dim prospect of becoming King. Three years before, however, an old gypsy at Ascot had prophesied she would be a queen and the mother of a great queen. Married Deliberately. As a small girl her playmates called her “Princess Elizabeth” in their games. Now she is Queen Elizabeth. She married a man, not impulsively, but deliberately, after he had asked for her hand several times during his shy but persistent courtship. Her confident manner is credited with having much to do with aiding the King in overcoming the subdued nature which was evident in his earlier years when he was handi- capped by a nervous stammering, which made him uneasy in the pres- ence of people. 3 She has gained a reputation as a housewife from the economical con- duct of her household as Duchess of York when she supervised all details of her home. From the beginning she has been a favorite of the Queen Mother and on the occasion of King George VI's accession to the throne, Queen Mary said in her message to the people: “I commend my dear daughter-in- been made on the ground newly dis- |law, who will be his Queen.

Today five duchesses, six daughters of the nobility, eight ladies in waiting, two dukes, an earl and the officials of her own household made up her bril- liant entourage for the coronation. She rose early to be garbed in her gown of ivory satin, richly embroidered in gold with a 6-yard train of royal purple, velvet bordered and lined with ermine. In her dark hair jewels flash- ed and others gleamed on her white throat.

On moved the procession, down Oxford street turning left past Marble Arch and into Hyde Park. The processional was moving | through a torrential rain as it turned the corner into Hyde Park, where the pageant got its greatest reception. On the left spectators packed the only stands in the park. On the right there were no stands. The procession entered Hyde Park | corner, the carriages slipping through ing beneath side arcades. It passed by the spot on Constitution Hill where last Julv a cripple suffering from a persecution complex threw a loaded revolver beneath the hooves of a horse ridden by the then King Edward VIII The marchers wheeled in a circle around the huge gray Victoria monu- ment in front of the palace and the newly crowned couple passed through the gates of Buckingham Palace and home. Inside the palace, the King and Queen had little rest before facing their subjects again. They retired to their apartments to refresh themselves, but the cheering of the crowds kept up a ceaseless re- frain in their ears. King George and Queen Step Onto Balcony. A red-liveried footman stepped to the French windows of the Chinese room over the main archway of the palace yard and flung them wide. A moment’s hush fell on the crowd. Then cheering was renewed more loudly than before. The people saw King George, leading his Queen by the hand, step onto the crimson- draped balcony. For a moment they scemed slightly bewildered, looking down on & surging sea of faces. Then they smiled and waved their hands. The crowd roared. Surging forward, it swept across the road where the procession had passed and up to the railings of the palace court yard. Then Queen Mary and the -little princesses joined the party on the balcony. Soon all the principal mem- bers of the royal femily were there, At last the royal party withdrew, and the windows were closed. But the crowd was not satisfied. Again and again the King and Queen were called back to the bal- cony—the historic balcony on which King George the Fifth and Queen Mary had so0 often stood in peace and war to acknowledge the Nation's en- thusiastic demonstrations. The elated crowd, moved to & car- nival spirit by the homely sight of the royal family gathered together, burst into apontaneous song. A few voices started the familiar “For y Are Jolly Good Fellowa” and Joyous | boycotting all this. 'Shorn of Splendor | the narrow gate, the soldiers march- | than in the streets of London, they tribute quickly swelled and detpened“ in volume. | When the royal party at last turned | to leave the balcony King George was the last to go. Both he and Queen Mary evidently were deeply moved. The stately Queen Mother, greeted with a tremendous ovation, seemed almost ready to weep. FREE STATE BANS CORONATION FETES Rejoicing and Ceremonies Northern Ireland Contrast Disapproval. DUBLIN, May 12 (#).—In Ulster, Northern Ireland, bonfires, bunting, flags, fervour and rejoicing. In South- ern Ireland, the Free State, official detachment and protest, aloofness and | disapproval. Thus does Ireland, thorny corner | of King George's mighty empire, mark | the coronation of the new monarch. President de Valera himself an-| nounced in the Dail the attitude| toward the ceremonial in London as no business of the Saorstat, which now is virtually a republic. The great American republic can be excited about the coronation of an | English King, but not Southern Ire- land. Across the Ulster border, Northern Ireland is the most loyal spot in the British Isles, celebrating coronation with elaborate plans. A national holiday has been declared, cities and towns are decorated lavishly. There is entertainment, revelry, religious ob- | servance.

Few foreign visitors were willing to | leave the spectacle of the empire cap- ital for the country, yet there, rather would perhaps find the deeper spirit of England, Scotland and Wales as the new sovereign is crowned. In thousands of queer little places like Inkpen, Skissen, Wattan-at-Stone, Tstradmynach and Zelah simple vil- lage and country folk who have no diamonds, never saw a coronet or court gown, nor their King and Queen, rest from toil for the day, gather in churches and on village greens to ob- serve the day much as people of a small American town celebrate special holidays. Coronation Day Committees were formed months ago, and many a long Winter evening was spent in debate by parish elders and village statesmen over the relative merits of free tea, fireworks or gift mugs bearing indif- ferent likenesses of George and Mary as means of commemorating the great day. Finally plans were formulated, agreed upon and announced in weekly newspapers, BOMBERS TC; CROSS CITY Four of the Army Air Corps’ new 16-ton “flying fortress” Boeing bom- bardment airplanes will fly over ‘Washington in formation at 6:45 a.m. tomorrow during the course of an 1,855-mile non-stop flight from their home atation at Langley Fleld, Va., to Portland, Me., and return.

(As a young Canadian-born newspaper man, Sir William Goode, an Associated Press staff writer Jrom 1896 to 1904, covered the coro- nation of King Edward VII at Westminster Abbey on August 9, 1902.) BY SIR WILLIAM GQODE. LONDON (#)—England was & calm and peaceful land and Lon- don like a oountry town teeming with horse-drawn vehicles; crowded, but with little noise or excitement when King Edward VII was crowned in 1902. There was deep, personal affection for the man who had been Prince of Wales for many years, mingled with abbey ordeal would be too much for him. Illness and an appendectomy had necessi- tated postponement of the ceremony. When it was all over there was great relief. Instead of Edward failing, however, the unexpected happened, and the venerable - Archbishop of Canterbury almost collapsed at the vital point of the crowning ceremony. The heavy old headdress of Edward the Confessor almost fell from his nerv- ous, trembling hands. King Edward raised his own hands and guided the ancient emblem to his own head, an unusual incident, which went un- noticed in the London newspapers of that day. For reporters it was & hard day. It was ngcessary to arrive at the abbey at 6:30 am. in full evening dress, and it was after 2 p.m. before we got out. Fortified with & package of sand- wiches and a small flask I took my seat between W. G. Stead, famous London editor of that period, and Max O'Reel, & well-known French writer. The sandwiches were pressed out of recognition by being sat upon, while courtesy demanded the flask be passed to my distinguished colleagues on either side. It was returned empty at 7 am. Six hours later, wondering whether the King would stand the ordeal, I nearly fainted. Throughout the ceremony special messengers carried the Associated Press running story of the ceremony to a telegraph instrument set up under one of the trancept galleries. The abbey attendants were dismayed by the fact that such instruments of modern news transmission shoud have been brought into the precincts of the ancient edifice. Authorities, how- ever, had granted the necessary per- Tfllsabn. and there was no interrup- tion. HORSE STOLEN Vanderbilt's Fire Blaze Was to Have Been Door Prize. Spectal Dispatch to The Star.

LONDON, May 12.—A quiet, serious- minded man, whose youthful face be- lies his 41 years, was the focal figure | today for the adulation of a half bil- | lion persons in his coronation as their | King-Emperor. | Studious, reserved, soft-spoken, not | given to flippancy in any form, George VI seemed destined to follow closely in the footsteps of his father, George V, ever obedient to tradition and the austere duty of the ruler of a quarter of the earth. Stripped of his royal robes, Britain's monarch stands as a family man who prefers his own fireside and country home life to the splendor of palaces. In appearance he is of good height, straight, angular almost, with slender face, generous mouth, blue eyes and dark blond hair. His features are steady and well controlled. There is still a touch of shyness in his manner. Denied Robust Constitution. An absteminous, vigorous life has given him a sound body, although ill- ness during his undergraduate days has denied him a really robust con- stitution. He is thoroughly democratic and as | Duke of York he spent a period every | year at the boys' camp which bears | his name, swimming, playing and liv- | ing the ordinary life of the camp. As a naval officer—plain Mr. Johns- | ton during the World War when he stood in a gun turret during the Battle of Jutland on May 31, 1916—he gained | the respect and admiration of both | sailors and brother officers. He came to the throne well-versed in the problems of Britain and the empire through a knowledge gained from practice. He knows British in- | dustry from personal contact with its operation and social problems by see- ing firsthand what is to be remedied. | Albert Frederick Arthur George, sec- | ond son of King George V and Queen Mary, was born December 14, 1895, in York cottage on the grounds of Sandringham House. Sent to Naval School. In company with the then Prince of Wales he was instructed by tutors in French, singing, dancing and riding. He played foot ball with the lads of Sandringham village; led the life of any normal English boy. At the age of 14 he was sent to i naval training school, and for five vears ashore and afloat studied the lore of the navy. When the World War started he went to sea with his ship, but late in 1917, after he had been forced ashore by gastric disorders, he was transferred to the naval branch of the royal air force. He qualified as a pilot and by Octo- | ber, 1918, was again on active war service, this time on the western front. His first official assignment as a son | of the King was to accompany Albert, | King of the Belgians, on his triumphal | re-entry of Brussels in 1918. After the war, as Prince Albert, he went with his brother, Prince Henry, now Duke of Gloucester, for special courses in history, economics and | civics to Trinity College, Cambridge. Became Duke of York in 1920. The title of Duke of York was con- | ferred upon him by King Geon;el in June, 1920, and three years later, with his father's approval, he married Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, duaghter of the Scottish Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, his present Queen. He has devoted much of his time to encouraging practical co-operation | between workers and employers and | personally has assisted in orginiza- | tion and development of a better | social pattern. | No flashing modern, he is yet a progressive; but as regards the tradi- | | tion of British royalty he can be ex- | pected to follow old trails rather than | blaze new ones. | Only a short time ago, he con- sidered himself as commanding no | greater place in history than as the | somewhat retiring wounger brother | of a greatly loved sovereign, and while !

By the Assoctated Press. LONDON May 12.—Diamondz that have left a flashing trail across the history of centuries, velvet so rich it requires three weeks to make a yard and gowns embroidered with pure gold thread which sewing girls have stitched for months—all were on parade today at the coronation of a King. From Queen Elizabeth to little | Princess Elizabeth, who may one day | star in a similar scene of regal pomp, the women of the royal family made a rare pageant of purple velvet, ermine, jewel-studded gowns and glit- tering gems unequaled since the World War toppled kings from their thrones. From the crowns of their jeweled heads to the heels of their handmade slippers, they were royal mannequins for English dressmakers’ and jewel= ers' arts. Few attempted to estimate the value of the gems which blazed from their heads and throats, although the famous Koh-I-Noor diamond, flash= ing in Elizabeth’s crown, alone was valued at $10,000,000 at the great ex- | hibition at Hyde Park in 1851. The 106-carat gem, for which Sule tans fought and died, made a fiery center for the Queen's new platinum crown, which glittered with diamonds from the regal circlet to the orb and cross surmounting its purple velves cap. Ivory Satin Dress. Queen Elizabeth's dress was of ivory satin embroidered in gold with the floral emblems of the British Isles and the Dominions, and peppered with diamante so that it flashed in the light. Over it went a 6-yard robe, or train, of royal purple velvet, lined and bor= dered and caped with the ermine that has marked royal robes for centuries. It, too, was embroidered in gold with a crown, the double “E” which is Elizabeth's cipher, and the floral em= blems of Britain and the dominions. Queen Mother Mary, who defied tra« dition to see her son crowned, was a brilliant regal figure. As she moved down the abbey aisle with erect bear= ing and measured tread, the masses of jewels she always has loved to wear burned like the lights of a city at night | from her head and throat. Diamonds Sparkle on Neck. Above her famous pompadour blazed the diamond-studded diadem portion of the crown she wore at her own coronation 26 years ago. On her neck sparkled more diamonds. Silver and diamante embroidery in a cascading design of roses and | fuschias covered her gown of supple cloth of gold, topped with a 5-yard purple velvet robe bordered with ermine and embroidered in gold. .
