All day Ions four-horse teams, hauling wagons plied high with railway camp equipment, have treked out of The Dalles, bound for the LVschutes Hlver. Beginning at 7 o'clock this morn ing It was not until 5 this afternoon that the last of the 40 wagons shipped here last night by Porter Bros., rail road contractors, who are supposed to be working for the Hill railways, wend ed Its way to the southeast. Indications today are almost con clusive that Porter Bros. Intend to es tablish not two, but five or six camps, as if preparing to cover the entire ground of the Oregon Trunk line sur veys. They themselves did not know, was the reply given by representatives of the Oregon Trunk today, to Inquiries as to the number of camps and places of location. Rush Orders Are Given. Johnson Porter, who represents the contractors on the ground, left this morning In an automobile for Grass Valley, 40 miles from the mouth of the Deschutes, from which point Har rlman Is now engaged in building a wagon road Into the canyon of the river. Porter told that he was going to select camp sites and the evidence today is that he was not dissembling. The 60 head of horses and mules shipped in here by steamer last night were Insufficient to haul out all the camp equipage, and the local livery stables were called on for drivers, teams and wagons. From these livery stables It is learned that men and teams were engaged to transport supplies to Miller Bridge, at the mouth of the Deschutes; to Free Bridge, l'l miles up to the river; to rherar's Bridge, 25 miles up the river; to Grass Valley, 40 miles up, and to W hite Horse Kapids, 75 miles up the stream. Camp sites had been selected only in a general way. Porter Bros. Surpriiied. Today Contractor l'orter told that he did not know that the work was to be commenced until last Thursday morn ing at 10 o'clock. The camp equipage was got together and put on board the Bailey Gatzert Thursday night. Much of the stuff is new. There are scores of wheelbarrows In knocked-down form, 12 new Studebaker wagons knocked down and nearly 30 other wagons, steel rods for rock drilling, tents, blankets, scrapers and all kinds of construction tools. Much of the food supplies were purchased here, and the new wagons were put together oa the dock and loaded to capacity. En route over the North Bank road to Grand Dalles, from whence it will be ferried across the river to The Dalles is another shipment of camp sup plies and equipage. Construction Now Vndcr Way. Every indication is that men and equipment were secured hastily, and it is believed to be true here that the contractors today only know In a gen eral way where the camps will be established. It is believed here that technically speaking, at least, actual construction work has commenced on the Oregon ' Trunk Railroad.

HARRY MURPHY ILLUSTRATES WITH Killing of Colonel Spur9 His Men to Fierce Fight With Bayo net and Saber. MALAGA, Spain. July 24. The steam er Menorquin, with 80 wounded aboard, arrived here today, from Melllla, where the hospitals are overcrowded. Passen gers on the steamer declare that the residents of Melllla are panic-stricken, the successes of the Moors giving rise to the belief that they will swoop down on the city Itself. Friday's battle was sanguinary, there being much hand to hand fighting. The Moorish tribes now gathered close to General Marina's camp are estimated at 16,000. Their recent losses are said to have been nearly 1000. The Spanish forces lost not less than 3000 men. When the battle became general, the Spaniards endeavored to trap the Moors between two lines of fire. The tribes men, however, were too wary and fought desperately. They retreated only when they were literally hurled back at the point of Spanish bayonets. At dusk there was a lull in the fighting. Colonel Cabrera, while addressing words of cheer to his wearied men, fell dead with a bullet In his heart. With a cry of rage the Spanish forces rushed out to avenge the killing and a fierce fight with bayonet and saber followed. The Spaniards then withdrew to their original base. MHLILLA. Morocco, July 24. Heavy cannonading this afternoon Indicated the openir.g of a new battle between the Spanish forces and the Moorish tribes men.

Collins Shot Down in Home. WOMAN THOUGHT HIM UNTRUE Belief Husband Loved His Di- t vorcee Maddened Her. CALLS HELP AFTER CRIME Incoherent Story of Tragedy Is Told to Police Sobbing Slayer At tempts Own Iife and Is Taken to Sanitarium. Dr. Roy A. Miles Collins, aged 34 years, a physician and surgeon with offices In room 709 Dekum building, was shot and Instantly killed by his bride of three months In the basement of the residence of Major J. A. Sladen, 722 Flanders street. In the fashionable Nob Hill district, yes t'eilay morning at 8:20 o'clock. The couple had occupied the Sladen home three weeks as caretakers while its owner and family were at the beach and, when the shooting occurred, were packing their belongings In the basement preparatory' to leaving the place. An agreement had been reached between them to separate upon leaving and later have their marital relations severed in court. The pent-up anguish of a woman's heart, produced by constant knowledge of an unreciprocated love and the un founded belief that the love she had once claimed had been stolen away from her by another was back of the tragedy as It was narrated by an examination of Mrs. Collins after she had been taken Into custody. Her jealousy, it is claimed, drove her to madness. Mrs. Collins Is 42 years old, 15 y ears her husband's senior. "It was a case of an old- wife and a young husband," she said. Husband Tells Her Goodbye. Immediately aCter the shooting, Mrs. Collins sat down on the floor of the basement and placing her husband's head In her lap, extinguished fhe fire which had caught In his clothing. He only spoke to her once, saying: "My God, you have done it at last. Goodbye." Dr. Collins was dead a few seconds later and his wife ran to the telephone on the first floor and called Dr. Charles B. Friable In the Washington building, asking him In a frightened and hysteri cal voice to come at once. "Hurry, Doc tor," she said. "He is dying. Come and save him." This statement is tiie only one of the actual circumstances of the shooting that she related afterward. Dr. Frisble called a taxicab and in structed the driver to go to the Sladen residence with all possible speed. When he arrived there he found the woman writhing in a paroxysm of grief over the dead body of her husband. He made an examination of the prostrate form and announced to Mrs. Collins that her hus band was dead, which set her in a mad frenzy. Moaning, Admits Guilt. Dr. Frisble then took the woman by the arm and led her upstairs. The taxi cab was dispatched to police headquarters, where Detective Snow was picked up and returned to the scene of the shooting. He found Mrs. Collins still in a hyster ical condition, and, between sobs and ap parently insane laughter, moaning, "I am guilty, I am guilty." This she continued to repeat all yesterday and last night. Her condition Is considered serious by Dr. G. O. Jefferson, who was called to at tend her and after being transferred to the County Jail yesterday afternoon from the City Jail, she was sent to Mountain View Sanatorium. Mrs. Collins attempted to take her own life three separate times yesterday after noon, once by pricking the blood veins in her arms with pins until they bled freely and twice by tying her handker chief about her throat in an effort to strangle herself.

USES SMALLEST AIRSHIP MADE Machine Carries Three-Cylinder Motor. FIRST TIME FEAT IS DONE M. Bleriot Is Aviator of Prominence and Experience and Won French Aeroplane Prize of $600. Vehicle Is Like Latham's. DOVER, July 24. Louis Bleriot, the French aviator, accomplished the re markable feat of flying across the Eng lish Channel this morning: in 23 minutes. The distance from his starting- point, near Calais, to Dover is about 22 miles, and he therefore traveled at the rate of nearly a mile a minute. The aviator left the French shore at 4:30 and within a few minutes sighted the white cliffs of the English coast. He de scended gracefully in the North Fall Meadow, behind Dover Castle, at 4:53 A. M. M. Bleriot looked little the worse for his hazardous trip, although his foot was burned by petrol. This' gave him some trouble, and he had to be assisted to an automobile which was waiting. He drove to the Lord Warden Hotel, where he was greeted enthusiastically. Following: Boat Distanced. A French torpedoboat destroyer fol lowed the aeroplane but so swift was the speed of the machine that the destroyer was soon left far behind. Although the start was made in calm weather, the wind soon rose and a strong breeze was blowing at the time of the descent, making the performance all the more noteworthy. The French torpedoboat destroyer ar rived at Dover at 6:50 with Bleriot's wife nad a party of friends on board. By his achievement today Bleriot wins the special prize of $5000 offered by the London Daily Mail. Bleriot Active Aviator. M. Bleriot has for several years been an active aviator In France, and Is said to have had more miraculous escapes than any otner aeroplanist. He made a cross-country flight from Turoy to Arthenia, France, on March 3, 1908, in a monoplane. His latest achievement prior to cross ing the Channel was a flight on July 15 from Etamps to Orleans, covering the distance in 56 minutes, 10 seconds, in cluding a stop of 12 minutes to examine his aeroplane. By this achievement he won the French aeroplane prize of $2600. Herbert Latham made a daring but un successful attempt last Sunday to cross the English Channel. Latham covered about half the distance at an average height of 500 feet, when he was obliged" to descend because the motor gave out. Following on Latham's failure, M. Bleriot and Count de Lambert announced their Intention of making the flight. La tham was induced to make his prepara tions for a second attempt hastily. It was Latham's Intention to make a sec ond trial Monday. LATHAM MAY NOT TRY TODAY Does Not Start With Bleriot, Who Gets Off Successfully. CALAIS, July 25. M. Bleriot at 4:35 A. M. started in his monoplane for the flight across the Channel. He made sev eral trial flights prior to the start, occupying: about 10 minutes. The weather was fine and no wind was stirring. A torpedo boat destroyer fol lowed the aeroplane. Two destroyers were off Sangrate at 5:10 A. M-, awaiting; the appearance of Herbert Latham, who also Intended to make an attempt to cross the Channel. At that hour the wind was rising and Latham failed to appear. It is not prob able he will make a start this morn ing. ALLUSIONS TO WOMAN Smith, aa Citizen. New York Police Chief Begins Cru sade Against Naughty Shows With Dancer. NEW YORK, July 24. Gertrude Hoff man, the dancer, was arraigned in Police Court today and paroled until next Tues day, when the court will take up the question whether or not her perform ance at a local theater is "Indecent, sug gestive and immoral and offensive to public decency," as the complaint charged. The arrest of Miss Hoffman, a Salome dancer, marks the beginning of a cam paign against questionable theatrical pro ductions by the new police head, Commis sioner Baker. The order for her arrest came from Commissioner Baker himself. Other arrests are to be made, says fhe Commissioner, unless certain perform ances, particularly dances, are decidedly reformed. 'I am going to take drastic action," said the Commissioner today, "and own ers, lessees and managers must obey the law." Mr. Baker said he did not order Miss Hoffman's arrest until after he had sent six persons to see the dance and later had attended the dance himself. He and the others agree, he said, the exhibition was improper. Court developments today showed the charge in the Hoffman case hangs upon the definition of "tights." "I will let fhe show go on," said Po lice Magistrate Steinert, "provided the young woman wears tights." t, Miss Hoffman protested she did wear tights, but their knee length was what cj.used police criticism.

A Chinese girl's mania for 5-cent theaters and not, as she says, $600 in gold caused Ing Ye Yue, Chinese merchant of Washington, to place little Fing Toy, who lived in his household, in the care of Chin Hing, of New York, said Ing Ye Yue, and his reputation for veracity is said to be second to none in Washington's China town. Fing Toy and another girl, Moy Yum Toy, ran away from home and w-hen th,. pair were found yesterday by the Childrens' Society, Fing Toy said she had been sold into bondage, Ing Ye Yue having received $600 for her. The latter denied the girl's story. He brought her here from China, he added, to be com pany for his wife, who has returned to China on a visit.

COUSIN POPULAR HEROj Princess Beatrice Applauded for No Changing Religion and Praised by the Prince's Mother, Princess Eulalie. y MADRID, July 24, via Bayonne. (Sp cial.) Owing to the grave situation here especially the revolutionary propaganda among the troops, a strict censorship has been established over all telegrams. Ill is impossible to send anything direct from Madrid. Revolutionary activity has as- sumed astonishing proportions, charao terized by fierce attacRs upon King --vl-fonzo for being subject to foreign that is, English influence. He has, therefore, cancelled his projected visit to Cowes. greatly to the disappointment of Queen Ena, who had been building on It foB some time. ( Denounced as Tool of Clericals. The King's action in punishing hl cousin, Don Alfonso Bourbon, for his ro mantic marriage with Princess Beatrice, of Coburg is actually also made a ground of attack. He is denounced as being merely a tool of the Clericals, and his hostile measures against his cousin, which he took entirely out of deference to Spanish feeling, are attributed to for eign influences also. Princess Beatrice is held up to admlra tlon for refusing to change her religion and is favorably contrasted with Queen Ena, as no one, it is said, could belleva the sincerity of her acceptance of the) Roman Catholic faith. Papers publish ing these attacks are no longer conns cated. Prince's Mother Approves Match. The Infanta Eulalie, mother of the) banished Prince, has given -an account of his marriage, which, she declares, took! her absolutely by surprise. She says: "The sudden marriage can only bo acsribed to the impetuosity of youthful lovers, and I hope after a time King Alfonso will pardon them. Personally, I can't blame them for determining to over ride conventions. Princess Beatrice is a charming, cultured girl, who could cap tivate any man, and I could wish no other wife for my son." This interview has further complicated the position of the King and Queen, who are pointed out as only playing opposition, to this marriage to deceive the people ot Spain.
