Hotels and Streets Crowded With the Greatest Influx in Many Years. BRIEF STAY OF VISITORS Majority of Them Scurry to Paris and the Continent After "Doing" the Principal Sights in the Great English City. BY THE COUNTESS OF BLAXKSHIRE. (Special Cable to the Central News and The Orefcontan.) LONDON, July ".Town is given up en tirely to Americans. The hotels are over flowing with them; the shops and streets, places of amusement and show placesare crowded with them. It is the greatest in flux of American visitors in recent years. But one notices a peculiar thing the American visitor does not stay as long as usual. They come to London for a bare week, and then hustle away to P.'Lris and the Continent. Whether a majority have only a short time at their disposal or not I cannot say, but It looks as if a new genus, the American "tripper," who will do Europe and back in on month, has arrived. What wtih Ascot a thing of the past and Goodwood and Henley and Cowes upon us, the season is well advanced and nearing its end. Cowes will be particu larly strong this year, for the King of Spain and his bride will be there, and also the Kaiser, as well as King Edward and Queen Alexandra. The Prince and Princess of Wales will be yachting there. The King and Queen of Greece will come along to look after their children, who are staying in England for the Sum mer, and the new King of Norway, with his English Queen, will also pay a visit. So that Cowes will be the grand rendez vous for all the fashionable world and his wife, even if they don't possess yachts. There will be an unusually smart showing of Americans, for so many from the i United States own yachts which are now in or are coming to European waters. There has been a good deal of fuss made over the statement that King Ed ward does tiot look kindly on the Marquis of Anglesey marrying into the royal fam ily. The young Marquis, who is just 21. will not come Into the estate until he is 25, and by that time it will have the rich est rent roll in England. The late Mar quis, his cousin, as all the world knows, was a most dissolute young man, and spent money like water until he was forced Into bankruptcy. No one In society really cared to talk of him or to be seen with him. But with the other Pagets It is different. Young Paget, now the Marquis, Is a very nice young fellow and well brought p. It has been suggested that he would make a good husband for one of the royal princesses, but the difficulty seems to be to find the princess. The only unmarried British princess who Is of marriageable age or in sufficient health to get married is Princess Patricia of Connaught. and I understand the Crown Prince of Portugal has been picked out for her. There are the two little Duff girls, called by courtesy princesses, and the eldest will, by the time the Marquis of Anglesey comes into his castles, be just the right age. They are the daughters of the Prin cess Royal and the Duke of Fife, yet can hardly be called "royal" princesses, I feel sure King Edward has hardly thought about the matter, much less put a ban on it. He is such a sensible man, is the King, that If one of the royal prin cesses fell in love with a clean, thorough bred American youth, of good family and fortune, he would be only too glad to give them his blessing and attend the wed ding. There have been too many inter marriages among the royal families of Europe of late, and several of the royal ties are now paying the penalty. The King has always helped along marriages that have not been quite royal, such as that of his cousin, the Count Gleichen, the Baron Pawal-Rammingen, the Duke of Fife and others, who all married prin cesses. The awfully English servant Is always amusing to American visitors, and when Americans come to live here they always get English servants. They are telling a particularly good story of an English .footman In the service of the American Ambassador in connection with the visit of Mr. and Mrs. Longworth. The Long worths and the Whltelaw Reids went to West Park for a week-end the other day. It Is the Ambassador's country place. This particular footman was sent to look after the baggage at the railway station. Two of the Longworth trunks had some how got mixed up with somebody else's. The man servant approached a group of porters standing around a pile of trunks and asked in a lordly way: "Well, my men, 'ow habout them lug gage?" "What luggage?" asked the porters. "Why, two Hamerican trunks has black as hink." "What was the mark?" asked the por ters. "They wos marked with hell," said the footman. "Hell!" chorused the open-mouthed por ters, much shocked. "Yes, hell for Longworth, stoopids," said the footman. The trunks were found. ... Mrs. Gelshenen, of New York, is to be married to one of the fichest London residents. Henry Harcourt van Cutsem. who is a son of the late consul of the Netherlands in London, and has a magnifi cent town house just off Park Lane. He wanted the marriage done In London, but the pretty American widow insists on New York. She has a house on upper Fifth avenue. They will reside In London. Cyrus Sulzberger, of Philadelphia, has been attracting some attention in town. He is an authority on the American re form movement, and is supporting Israel Zangwlll in his movement for a new Jew ish territory. Mr. Zangwlll is working very actively In this matter, and expects a great deal of help from the United is stated that the Duchess of Devon shire, the greatest woman bridge player of the day, is 111 of an incurable disease, and is not long for this world. The Duke Companion of Studio Mystery Puz zles London Police. (Special Cable to the Central News and The Oregonian.) LONDON, July 7. Another tragedy, the author of which is undiscovered, has oc curred in London. The affair is rendered all the more remarkable by the fact- that, as in the studio murder, which mystery has held the attention of the police for several weeks past, a hammer was used to commit the crime. The scene of the latest murder was Camberly, in the outlying Surrey section of London, where, in a house called Heathfleld, lived two old maiden ladies named Hogg. One of them was found dead in the house, with her head almost severed from her body. The other rushed into a house close by and fell insensible, with fearful wounds In her head. The occupants of this house hastened to Heathfleld, which Is a large villa stand ing in a walled-in grounds of two or three acres. There, in the entrance hall, was found the murdered woman. The Misses Hogg enjoyed an income of J10.000 a year each. Their brother is a retired Colonel in the army, and also wealthy in his own right. The old ladies were eccentric and miserly. They kept no resident servants for their large house and grounds and stables, but servants came and did the work each morning, and then left. The ladies were very fond of traveling and had lived some time In Japan. They were about to go to Japan again for a year or two. The lady murdered had a romance in her life. Thirty years ago she was engaged to marry an army of ri cer, but they quarre ed, and the two sis ters retired from soc ety and burled them selves in the country. Then they traveled for years, and Anally settled down as re cluses in Camberly. The police believe that some man knew of their wealth and that no servants were about the place after noon, and attempt ed to rob the house, committing the crime of murder In order to escape. But noth ing appears to have been stolen. The younger Miss Hogg, when she recovered consciousness, could throw little light on the crime. Her statement is as follows: "I went for a walk after lunch, leaving my sister alone. She was reading. I re turned at 3:30, and went at once to my room upstairs to take my things off. My sister suddenly began screaming. I rushed downstairs and met a horrid man on the staircase. He attacked me with a sharp instrument. I don't know how I got out of the house. I had never seen the man before." In the rJght hand of the dead woman was tightly grasped a big, heavy hammer which belonged to the house. There are traces of the murderer leaving. He had walked to the kitchen and washed his bloody hands. Then footprints show he went out the back way. through the grounds, over the wall, and into an ad joining wood. In this wood have been found the ashes of a recent Are and the charred remains of some old clothing. There Is no other clew. Troops to Be Assembled at Brigade Posts at Sev eral Points. PRESIDENT PICKS PLACES FREAK DISEASES IX ENGLAND Big Man Shrinking ' to Nothing; Small Man Getting Very Big. (Special Cable to the Central News and The Oregonian.) LONDON", July 7. Two very peculiar cases are reported by the medical papers which are the exact antithesis of each other. In Birmingham is a man who is gradually diminishing In size, and in Man chester is another man who is slowly get ting bigger. Sixteen years ago Albert Mills, of Bir mingham, was nearly six feet tall, weigh ing 190 pounds, and a big, sturdy, robust man, an engraver by trade. Today he is shrunken to less than four feet, and ev ery bit of him except the head is grad ually getting to infantile size. ' He sleeps in a baby's cot. is totally blind, but has all his other faculties. His affliction Is known as osteomalachia. It Is very rare, and a disease hitherto scarcely ever known outside one district in Northern Italy and one on the Rhine in Germany. The bones turn to chalk, and fracture at the slightest touch, and the flesh be comes as wax. and shrinks. If Mr. Mills lives for another 16 years he will have wasted away to a mere doll. He is now 48 years old. In the Royal Infirmary In Manchester is John Davis, 42 year old. He has a dis ease known as acromegaly, also a rare one. but known in the United States at Bellevue Hospital. New York. The man has been growing to absurd proportions, even his eyes growing larger. He Is so big now that he' cannot walk. and. it is only a matter of months before he will die. A bed in the hospital. Improvised out of six ordinary beds, is used by him. rSES FRENCH DIKE'S NAME Suit for Damages in Court Is Decid ed in Actress' Favor. (Special Cable to the Central News and The Oregonian.) PARIS. July 7 A case which will have much interest in the United States, where chorus girls choose all sorts and condi tions of stage names, has just been de cided here. An actress, who in private life is Mile. Jarre, adopted the name of "De Trevise." She appeared in a sketch called "Fleur de Peau." Some time ago the Due de Trevise noticed the name on three-sheet posters all over the town. He considered that the name and "Fleur de Peau" did not go well together, and so brought an action. The actress and the manager of the music hall were both made defendants. The Duke asked for an order prohibit ing the use of his name and demanded $100 per day as damages for the time It had already been used. The actress won. largely on the ground that de Trevise was common property, Inasmuch as it was the name of a street, a town and a family. Crazy King May Be Deposed. (Special Cable to the Central News and The Oregonian.) BERLIN, July 7. The divine right of Kings is soon to be rudely shaken in Ba varia, where the crazy King Otto is sup posed to rule. In reality all the work is done by the Regent, Prince Luitpold, and Otto is chained to a post In the Castle Furstentried. incurably insane and resem bling more a wild animal than a human being. It Is 20 years since the crazy King Ludwig died and the crazier brother Otto succeeded him. Since Norway demanded a new King, and elected one by popular vote, the eyes of Bavaria have been opened. If Euro pean nations recognize such proceedings in one country, they must do the same in the next. So Bavaria is seriously think ing of having an open election for King. The various nations were asked what they thought about such a procedure, and when their replies reach Munich, some time next week, nominations will be in order. The Prince Regent will probably be the favorite. Maneuvers Will Show Efficiency of Officers and Provisions May B Made for Promotion of Men Showing Especial Merit. OYSTER BAY. July 7. Important steps calculated materially to develop the effi ciency of the Army were taken today by President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft at Sagamore Hill. In his last annual message to Congress the President said the number of posts In which the Array are kept in time of peace should be ma terially diminished and the posts that are left made correspondingly larger. This recommendation is to be carried out at once. Seven brigade posts, to be commanded by Brigadier-Generals, are to be established. Two others ure desired, but the funds at the disposal of the Sec retary may not be sufficient to filiow of their equipment during the present fiscal year. The posts which the President and Sec retary Taft tentatively decided today to enlarge to brigade posts are those at Fort Riley, Kan.; Fort Leavenworth, Kan.; Fort Sam Houston, Texas; Fort Robinson, Neb.; Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo.; Fort Sill. Okla., and Fort Oglethorpe. Ga. It is de sired to have one in Pennsylvania and one on the Pacific Coast, but these will have to be taken care of later. Must Keep Within Appropriation. Final action regarding these posts will be taken a week from next Monday, when Secretary Taft will make a second visit to Oyster Bay. The necessity for the for mulation of a complete plan at this time in the development of "the new scheme is occasioned by the requirement in the ur gency deficiency appropriation act of the last session, which is that all appropria tions shall be apportioned so as to last throughout the year for the purposes for which they were made without causing a deficiency. The Army appropriation act carries $800, 000 for the creation of Army posts. The act carries $3,000,000 for barracks and $2,000,000 for transportation of the Army. Before this money can be expended a com plete plan as to what It .shall be used for must be made, and the lump sum appro priations so apportioned that no defi ciency will be created. Trained to Act in Mass. In attempting to carry out his plan, the President is simply following the line he indicated to Congress in his message. It is his firm belief that the Army should be trained above all else to act in a mass. To this end he suggested that provision be made for maneuvers of a practical kind. In this plan, he says, the Generate and Colonels would have opportunity to handle regiments, brigades and divisions, and the commissary and medical depart ments would be tested In the field. What he added regarding the establish ment of larger Army posts was that no local Interests should be allowed to stand in the way of assembling the greater part of the troops, which would at need form our field armies, in stations of such size as will permit the best training to be given to the personnel of all grades, in cluding the high officers and staff officers. "To accomplish this," he said, "we must have no company and regimental garri sons, but brigade and division garrisons." Weeding Out the Inefficients. The President follows this with com ment on the weeding-out process the "West Point Military Academy does on prospect ive Army officers, and says there should be some process in the Army that would achieve the same end. "After a certain age has been reached," he says, "the average officer is unfit to do good work below a certain grade." Provision, he maintains, should be made for the promotion of exceptionally meri torious men over the heads of their com rades and for retirement of all men who have reached a given age without going beyond a certain given rank. The plan now being worked out by the President and the Secretary of War is in tended to accomplish much that the Pres ident has expressed a desire for in the foregoing recommendations to Congress. The locations selected are all places where the Government has large reservations, and where troops may be mobilized to ad vantage for maneuvers or other purposes. At Oglethorpe, Ga., the post Is adjacent to the Chickamauga National Park. Taft Discusses Southern Speech. Secretary Taft spent but two hours with the President today. He arrived from Washington at 10:15 this morning and left on the noon train. This was Secretary Taft's first visit to Oyster Bay. Beside going over the Army post matter, the Sec retary discussed the speech he is to de liver to the Republican State Convention of North Carolina at Greensboro Monday night. The Secretary has one more speaking en gagementan address before the Ohio Bar Association at Put-In Bay. after which he is to take a two months' rest at Murray Bay, 80 miles below Quebec, on the St. Lawrence River, Canada. The Secretary will accompany the Pres ident to Panama, and said the start for the isthmus would be made immediately after the November elections, that the President might be in Washington beforo the opening of Congress. Fined for Red Hat on Dog. (Special Cable to the Central News and The Oregonian.) BERLIN. July 7. Saxony was stirred up some time ago because a boy was ar rested for wearing a red tie. the emblem of Socialism. An even worse case is now reported from the little town of Erput. The newspapers of the town publish the following notice, received from the police by a prominent citizen: "On the public streets, at 10:30 in the morning, you were seen leading by a string a dog which was wearing a red silk hat, thus causing excitement. This was a gross misdemeanor. We fine you B marks, or one day's imprisonment." The gentleman explained that he was only celebrating a holiday by dressing up his dog, and intended no Socialistic dem onstration, but he was told he had better pay up the $1.25 and keep quiet. He has 4 done both.
