THRJ DALLES, July 24. (Staff Corre
spondence.) 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. MAN TOO TIRED TO MARRY

of
SEATTLE, Wash., July 24. (Spe
cial.) "I guess I'll give you this di
vorce, madam," said Judge Frater this
morning to Mrs. Laura A. Holt, who
asked a perpetual separation from Tim
othy D. Holt.
Tour husband is the most tired man
I ever heard of too tired to be mar
ried. And a man so utterly weary that
he "cannot find time to work for 12

Mrs. Ho'lt said on the witness stand
that she had not only supported her
husband but herself for more than a
decade. She said Holt was afflicted
with "Inherent indolence," and after
two years of married life decided he
was too strong to do any labor.

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. Matron Simmons, of
the women's ward, arrived Just In time to

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

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.
REFORM, BUT NOT ENSLAVE
Rich Chinamun's Object in Sending
Girl Away.
WASHINGTON, "juTy 24. 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. According to the girl's
story, Yue's son bought her for $160 and
Yue sold aer to Chin Hing because he
said he was going back to China.

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.
