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.

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.

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.
