OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. With

Portland la 107.T1 i. compared with
: In 1900. t-.d 4C.3SS In 1S90. The
Increase from 100 to 1JI0 therefore Is

with an Increase for the preceding de
cade of 44.041. or 94.9 per cent.
The population of Seattle Is 237.194.
an Increase of 134.S23. or 194 per cent
over S0.C71 In 1900.' Tho population In
190 was 37.934.
Census Iirector Durand said tonight
that until the complete returns . for
Oregon are published, showing; the
population of Portland's suburbs, a
Just comparison o " the population- of
the two cities could not be made.
Seattle has annexed Its suburbs; a very
considerable population, similarly con
tiguous to Portland. Is outside Its cor
poral limits.
The revision of the Portland figures
resulted In the elimination of 13.74
names. The number taken from Seat,
tie's count was 11. US.
In announcing ths figures for Port
land. Mr. Durand said:
"The original returns of enumerators
for Portland contained a total of 222.
9J9 names, but on a careful recheckl-;
of certain districts and the entire re
enumeratlon of two other districts, it
was fnund that the correct count was
307.21 1. a difference of 1S.74S. While
it was found necessary to eliminate a
greater or less number of names from
a considerable number of enumeration
districts, the evidence Indicates that In
most rases tha enumerators were not
consciously guilty of fraud, and it Is
also clear that Supervisor Iteach did all
fotlnued on raa-3.)

NATION-WIDE CRUSADEAGAIXST

Chicago I.aundrymcn's Association
Start Campaign AIIcrIiik In
sanitary Conditions Exist.
CHICAGO. Nov. 26. (Special.) The
doom of the Chinese laundry as it ex
ists today may bo the result of a nation-wide
organization soon to be In
augurated. A crusade of education Is
to be carried on through newspapers
snd magazines warning agulnst the un
sanitary conditions. The movement
had Its Inception In Chicago and It is
expected the first effects will be felt
here through an ordinance which soon
will be reported to the City Council
providing stringent regulations for all
establishments engaged In supplying
clean linen.
The ordinance originated with the
health department and at once received
the co-operation of the Chicago I.aun-
drymen's Association, which obtained
the Incorporation In the ordinance of
clauses even more strict than those
originally drafted. The ordinance has
been favorably reported by the com
mittee In charge and its passage is
practically assured.
It Is declared the statistics of the
Health Department show that epidem
ics of scarlet fever, diphtheria and
other dlsesses were more prevalent In
districts where Chinese laundries were
thickest and these laundries have been
the cause of spreading disease.

These guarsnties were the subject of
the conference between the King and

SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 26. (Special.)
Leaving untouched valuable jewels

Bertha M. Parks, 19 years old, at her

Miss Parks Immediately became hys

moned in an effort to quiet her. She
had not been disturbed in the least.
yet her auburn tresses, nearly three
feet long, were gone. Her sister had
not heard any one in the room, but
heavy tracks made by muddy feet were
visible on the carpet.
When John It.' Parks, father of the
young woman, heard of the plight of
his daughter, he Immediately notified
the poltoe and Captain Tennant found
that entrance had been gained through
bathroom window, which had been
forced, presumably with a jimmy.
There were tracks of muddy feet in
the halls and the bedroom occupied by

WOMAN FEARS FOR GIRLS
Care for Unfortunates Necessary to
Protect Coming Generation.
CHICAGO, Nov. 26. (Special.) Mrs.
Charles Henrotin. in an address, on the
care of delinquent and dependent girls
before the league of Cook County
Clubs today, declared that unless the
women of 'the city awake' to the ne
cessity of caring ior unfortunate girls
there will soon come a generation of
women which will be a menace to the
democracy of the country and civiliza
tion of the world.
"There Is a tendency,"' she said, "In
a large city like this to a growing
recklessness which eventually leads to
the delinquency and dependence of
large numbers of girls. The class of
shopworkers and factory workers are
subject to temptations which at first
they strive to put aside, but many of
them fall.
"As a girl grows older and starts to
work for her living, she throws off the
rule of her parents at her most sus
ceptible time of life, and reaches the
turning of the ways. She then Is left
to work out her own moral and social
problems, and usually looks at them
in the wrong light."

Fuerst Gnstav Julius Meyer's Con

Prevaricator and Deserter, Sp
Wife Xo. C Sues for Divorce.
- M
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 26. (Specia!.)-
Seeklng the restoration of her maiden
name and legal separation from Gustav
Julius Meyer, who posed as a cousin of
the German Emperor, Prince and Com
mander of the Kaiser's Royal Guards.
Mrs. Meyer has Degun an action for
divorce. Before her marriage to the im
posing impoctor she was Miss Anna
Kruechen, a young woman of Indepen
dent fortune.
The bogus Prince, according to the com
plaint, succeeded in obtaining large sums
of money from his wife and borrowing
large -sums from her friends.
Then, she says, he deserted her and
went to Portland, where he conducted a
riding school for a time.
Meyer Gets Acquainted.
Fuerst Gustav Julius Meyer, who called
himself a Prince, became known to resi
dents of San Francisco in 19QB, when sev
eral wealthy San Franciscans were tour
ing the Fatherland. He became ac
quainted with them and informed them
of his exalted rank. They wrote home
of his hospitality and condescension and
presently were notiiad of tlit Prince's
intention to visit the California metro
polls, rt which ho had heard so much.
On hl arrival he was overwhelmed
with attention At one of the receptions
in his honor he met Miss Kruechen and
she Immediately became the object of
his royal adoration, and soon she agreed
to marry him.
The ceremony was performed August
25. 1909. at San Rafael. As soon as the
wedding was over. It is charged, the
Prince made known to his wifo his need
of funds, and she generously provided
him with money. From the funds she
gave him, he purchased two riding horses
and devoted . many hours each day to
riding in the park.
Wife Makes Discoveries. . .
The wife's first discovery after her
marriage was the fact that her husband
was not a Prince. She accused him of
the deception and he confessed. Then
she also discovered ho was not a cousin
of the Kaiser, and to this lie also con
fessed.
Then she learned he was not a com
mander. B"ut he succeeded in avoiding a
separation until his wife came Into pos
session of a letter to him from his aged
mother in Germany. In TOine way the
mother In Germany had learned of his
marriage In America.
"But how can you be married in Amer-
ick, sue wroxe. wnen your wile here
in Germany Is still waiting for you."
Then came the end of the bride's
dreams. She accosted him with the let
ter and demanded an explanation. . 1
Falling in ills explanation he attempted
to seize and destroy the letter. His wife
retained it and it will be one of the
most important pieces of evidence In the
divorce suit. When he failed to seize the
letter, he deliberately walked out of the
house and has not been seen by his wife
since that time.
