IS AN EXPERT SWINDLER
Bunco Artist Poses as Wife of Emi
nent Madrid Physician, Who la
Hoodwinked Into Helping"
Out Thief's Game.
(Special Cable to the Central Ncwi and
The Oregonlan.)
MADRID, July 28. A very clever wom
an, believed to be an American, yet
speaking Spanish perfectly, has Just se
cured 10,000 worth of diamonds in a most
daring manner.
she called one day in what looked like
a private carriage, at he Goldsmith &
Silversmiths, the leading jewelers of
Spain. Here she looked at a large assort
ment of valuable diamonds and chose
some MO.OOO worth of the best stones.
She begged that seme one would accom
pany her home in the carriage with the
diamonds, as if her husband approved of
them he would pay cash Immediately. She
gave the name of Dr. Arno as her hus
band. He Is one of the famous alienists
and a very wealthy man. . One of the
principals of the jewelry company agreed
to go.
Arriving at the doctor's handsome resi
dence, which is also his office, the
woman got out of the carriage first and
marched quickly into the ante-room. She
Invited the Jeweler in and then asked him
for the diamonds to take to her husband
and show him privately. They were
handed over and the woman marched into
the doctor's private office. She came out
in a minute or two and asked the jeweler
to Kindly step in and get his money, as
her husband ' approved. The jeweler
walked In, and the woman disappeared.
She had a good ten minutes' start before
the discovery of a swindle was made.
It appears that the woman called on
the doctor and represented herself as a
woman of wealth with a husband who
showed signs of going insane. She desired
to nave mm examined. The doctor made
an appointment for the following day at
the hour when the woman and the Jew
eler arrived. She went first In to the
doctor and told him that her husband
was in the ante-room. The doctor held
the door 4pen as she asked the Jeweler
to walk in, and he greeted the man with
a cordial smile. The doctor asked the
jeweler a' number of questions, and his
answers made him certainly think his
patient" was Insane. There is no clew
to the woman. The carriage she used
was nired from a livery stable.
WOULD HAVE NEW WORLD
London Priest Says He Has Little
Use for Old One.
LONDON, July 28. Father Vauirhan. the
man who has been attacking the smart
set in a series or remarkable sermons,
has been Interviewed scores of times re
cently, but his latest talk with a news
paper man is rather more of a startler
than usual. Father Vaughan says he
has no use for the world as it' is today.
If It were possible he would wrap it up
carefully and kick It Into space. He wants
an entirely new and better world.
In .connection with the priest's attacks
pn society, attention has been called to a
prophecy of "Old Moore," in his alma
nac issued last November and dated for
the first of the year. In this, rturi" the
month of June, "Old Moore" said: "There
will be quite a strong set against the
frivolities and extravagances of the fash
ionable world; In fact, history will repeat
Itself and the luxury, not to say licen
tiousness, of both English and American
smart society will almost run into Puri
tanism." Father Vaughan says he does
not ask for Puritanism, and there is lit
tle sign of Its coming to England in so
ciety as yet.
NOTORIOUS BRIGAND ACTIVE
Italian Bandit Murders Man Who Is
Not. Ransomed.
ROME, July 28. The notorious
brigand, Mulone, Is again at work and
defies the police and soldiers. His pres
ent band is a small one- of four mem
bers of the Mafia. Recently at a place
near Milan his band captured a wealthy
landowner named Cucurullo. They took
him into the mountains and sent a
message to his family, naming the price
of his ransom. It was a large sum.
The family sought the aid of the
authorities, and one of the prisoner's
fingers was sent them. Day by day
other fingers reached them and
finally the ears. The soldiers could, find
no trace of the brigands, and in the
meanwhile the ransom was -not paid.
The soldiers have Just found Cucurullo's
body shockingly mutilated. Inside the
dead man's hat was a letter signed by
Mulone, which said that he was -the
author of the crime and .that in future
ransoms had better be promptly paid.

PARIS, July 28. The competition of the
Gaulois anent dreams of millionaires has
come to an end and the prizes have been
awarded. . The newspapers said that Mr.
Rockefeller possesses 110.000.000 a year
income, and asked its readers what they
would do with this money If they pos
sessed his fortune. Some of the answers
were as awful as a Welsh rarebit dream,
and a majority were amusing. They
ranged from overturning the republic to
giving all the money away.
SXAKECATCHER SHOWS NERVE
Poisoned In Hand, He Bites Off Af
fected Part and Lives.
GENEVA, July 28. There are so
many snakes of a poisonous kind along
the banks of the Rhone that the- au
thorities engaged a specialist In the
snake-catching line to exterminate
them. The drouth has caused the great
growth of vipers. A specialist named
Hussy is a wonderful man. He has only
one arm, yet uses this wlta remarkable
dexterity, as he catches the snake with
it and snaps off their heads with his
fingers.
The other day he had a little accident.
One of the reptiles of the most poi
sonous kind bit him in the hand.-The
snake-catcher did not hesitate for a
moment. There was no help near. He
fastened his teeth in his hand and bit
off the affected part. "When he came to
town later on doctors cauterized the
wound. ,
STRANGE FINALE TO WEDDING
Bride Takes Valuables ' and ' Elopes
.' With Former Lover.
PARIS, July 28. Paul Renault and Ma
rie Charente were married with all the
pomp and ceremony which Parisian eti
quette , demands. Paul Is . a government
clerk. Marie was an artist. She was 18,
the bridegroom 30. His parents were
wealthy, Marie was a beauty and brought
no dot. The presents were costly and
much valuable jewelry was given Marie,
Including some family heirlooms.
. The usual feast and drives were over,
and the wedding party gathered at the
home of the bridegroom for a dance. Just
before It broke up the bride left the room
to go upstairs. The bridegroom desired
to go with her, but she threw him a kiss
and said she would return In a minute or
two. When she did not come back In 15
minutes the groom went in search of her.
He found the door of his parents' bed
room locked and finally broke it down.
On the bed was his wife's wedding drss.
The room was in great confusion. The
jewels, valuable presents and' several
thousand francs of the groom's savings
and also money and jewel belonging to
his parents, had disappeared with th
bride. Inquiries showed that the bride
had left the house attired in a - black
dress and that her young lover with a
cab was waiting In the street for her.
The police were appealed to, but, af
looking at the bride's photograph, and
telling the groom that his "wife was a
well-known thief, all they could do was
to advise him upon the easiest way to
get a divorce.
TRADE BLUE BLOOD FOR GOLD
Penniless Prince Francis, of Teck,
Wants Wife With Money.
BY THE COUNTESS OF BLANKSHIRE.
(Special Cable to the Central News and
The Oregonlan.)
LONDON, July 28. Is there an American
girl with millions who would like to be
niece to King Edward and a real live
royal highness of England? If so, she
should apply at once, tor the Prince Is
looking round for a wlte. He Is His
Royal Highness Prince Francis of Teck.
His bride must possess one thing and
that is money, for the Tecks are as poor
as the proverbial church mouse, and live
only by the goodness of heart of the
British taxpayer who allows them an In
come. Prince" Francis Is a young fellow
of 24, good looking and a jolly sort of a
young chap any way you take him. He
is a good rider, a splendid polo player, can
dance, play bridge and deal baccarat. He
attends all the race meetings and fo a
member of several of the smartest clubs.
It Is whispered that his betting and card
playing debts are getting rather out of
hand, and that he must make a quick and
a - rich marriage. Several daughters of
Earls in England have been spoken of,
and also the daughters of rich common
ers, and It is understood that no objec
tion would be made to, an American girl,
as practically the best half of the peer
age that counts in England now has an
American girl as wife.
ENGLISH CHEW AMERICAN GUM
Motorists Find the Habit a Substi
tute for Smoking.
LONDON, July 28. But for the auto
mobile, there is a doubt whether Ameri
can chewing gum would be worth the
cost of importation Into England. It has
been known here for some years, and
there are one or two agencies in London
of the great American chewing gum
firms, but until lately they have not been
overworked. The lady of fashion has
never taken kindly to It until lately,
when she has learned the habit from her
male friends who are motorists. The man
who went automobillng soon founc'l that
he could not smoke either a pipe, cigar or
cigarette. Chewing tobacco is undreamed
of except among sailors, and so the mo
torist took to chewing gum.
FRENCH FREAKS IN LONDON
Giant and Pigmy Are Exhibited at
Crystal Palace.
LONDON, Juiy 28. The Crystal Palace
has secured for exhibition purposes the
latest giant and pigmy.' They are both
French. Henri Cot is 8 feet 7 and still
growing. He is a peasant. He is the
first French giant In 200 years. Peter
Colibri is less than 2 feet high and weighs
only 84 pounds. King Edward saw both
of the men in France and suggested to
their respective managers ' that they
should be brought together and exhibited
together. The King's suggestion was car
ried out and has made a hit. The freaks
are to go together to the .United States,
where little Peter has already been.
BATHS FOR THE MASSES.
City of Blackburn Opens House for
Benefit of Poor.'
LONDON, July 28. The latest develop
ment of the municipal ownership Idea
comes from Lancashire, where the City
of Blackburn- has just opened a 'Turkish
and Russian bath. Here the citizen can
get all the luxury of a first-class bath of
the hot air or steaming variety for the
sum of 2 cents. Of course the man or
woman who wants all the frills has to
pay extra, but the total amount of all
these extras only comes to 12 cents. The
baths are now running and are making a
small profit already.

Mr. and Mrs. Murray. Los Angeles, both

The electric car left here with 42 pas
sengers on board. Arriving at Oneonta,
the car stopped and the conductor went
ahead to the Southern Pacific crossing at
this point. He saw no train approaching,
and the car started ahead reaching the
center of the crossing, when the train
from- Pasadena for Los Angeles suddenly
rounded the curve north and crashed into
the car with terrific impact.
Train Was Running Fast.
The train was running at a high rate of
speed, and no effort could be made to
avert the crash. The electric car was
struck squarely In the center by the pilot
of the engine. The body of the car was
torn from the trucks and carried for 200
feet down the track ' before portions of
the wreckage went under the wheels and
threw the engine from the rails.
The engine and tender went Into the
ditch, and the combination baggage and
smoker was partially derailed.
Tossed About by Engine Pilot.
The passengers on the electric car were
hurled In every direction, and many of
them thrown beneath the train and hor
ribly cut and mangled. One woman was
killed instantly, and several who were
believed to be dying were taken from the
wreckage. The Injured were at once
placed on an electric car and taken to
the various hospitals In Los Angeles and
Pasadena. Scarcelya person In the car
escaped Injury.
So far as ascertained, none of the pas
sengers on the train was hurt. The one
coach of the train remained on the rails,
and none of the occupants was hurt be
yond a severe shaking up. A car loaded
with surgeons was dispatched from Los
Angeles, and rendered aid to the Injured
before they reached the hospitals.
Engineer Blames the Carmen.
Engineer L. A. Potter, of the Southern
Pacific, said:
"It wag entirely the fault of the crew
of the electric car. They attempted to
get across the track In front of the train
and miscalculated the distance."
None of the crew was hurt beyond cuts
and bruises. The Pacific Electric Com
pany Issued the following statement re
garding the accident:
"It has been impossible so far definitely
to place responsibility. We know that
the car came to a stop for the purpose of
the conductor flagging the crossing, but
whether the motorman started before
setting proper signal from the conductor,
or whether the conductor gave the motor
man a go-ahead signal without looking In
both directions. It is Impossible to deter
mine until a thorough Investigation has
been made."
