Mystery Shrouds Death of
Wealthy English Baronet
NASSAU, Bahamas, July 10
(P) Meager details which came

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

for an appointment.
Foul play was indicated, how

Miami of two American police
experts to aid the Nassau con

A coroner's inquest was called
behind closed doors.

He spent large sums In various

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. '
The Oregon centennarian mar
ried Thomas Percy of Manchest
er, cotton mill machinery expert,
in 1885, traveled with him to
many parts of the world includ
ing Mexico where she establish
ed a friendship with Pancho
Villa through her proficiency as
a baker of biscuits.
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."
