Mystery Shrouds Death of Wealthy English Baronet NASSAU, Bahamas, July 10 (P) Meager details which came through censorship today served only to deepen for the outside world the mystery surrounding the death of one of the British Empire's ' wealthiest baronets, Sir Harry Oakes. The only fact known generally was that there were Injuries on tho body of the 68-year-old American-born gold mine owner who was found dead in bed yes terday by a friend who called for an appointment. Foul play was indicated, how ever, by the summoning from Miami of two American police experts to aid the Nassau con stabulary in the Investigation. A coroner's inquest was called behind closed doors.

Pitti Sing Has Adventurous Years, Acted Before Royalty, Now Settled Down in West TILLAMOOK. July 10 m Plttl Sing was 100 years old last May 21 but her fingers still have a bouncy touch for a Gilbert and Sullivan tune. She is Elizabeth Barker Percy, born in Manchester and entering her second century in this vil lage on the western edge of America where she settled be cause it reminded her of Ire land. Widowed at the age of 20 with five hungry sons, Elizabeth Bar ker Pucnjer obtained a Job as planUt at the London Savoy the atre in 1873. Her first task was playing for rehearsals of the Mi kado. One day she hod the temerity to criticize the entrance of the three little maids, who walked with rather husky strides. "They don t have women ath letes in Japan," she raged. "No Japanese maid would ever walk like that." "So-o-o," cooed one of the leads, "suppose you show us how." She did, the director caught the entrance and the next day the pianist was told to "see Mr. Sullivan." Mr. Sullivan wanted to know where she got her infor mation on the ambulation style of Japanese maids. Other Ideas "From books," she replied. Mr. Sullivan asked if she had any other ideas. She outlined them and demonstrated. At the end of the conference she was Pitti Sing, feminine lead in the lilting comic opera which was four-star in that and many succeeding sea sons. Her first appearance before royalty produced an entrance scarcely traditional to a Japanese female. Pitti fell flat on her face. "Pitti Sing, you know, is some thing of a clown," reminisced Mrs. Percy on her 100th birth day, "so I saved my face by clowning the act for a few min utes. I don't think anyone rea lized the fall was accidental but the director cautioned me after ward . . . "from now on you will play Pitti Sing right side up.

Musician, Actress As a musician and actress she knew the great and the near great in England and America for half a century. A particularly fond recollection was a slide down a staircase rail 94 years ago at the home of a child friend. She landed on a bearskin rug at the bottom at the feet of a strange man who picked her up. The man was Charles Dickens. Percy died in Mexico City and the Pitti Sing of the Savoy's 1893 season came to America after the revolution, teaching piano in Portland. She moved to Tilla mook in 1912. "I never expected to last so long," she remarked at the end of her first 100 years, "and I have no formula for longevity. I've always taken care of myself and I treat my stomach right."
