BRING BACK CURIOS

SCIENTISTS RETURN FROM
BISMARCK ISLES
German Expedition Makes Important
Contribution of Data Concerning
Lands and Peoples of
New Guinea

HONGKONG, July 2.-The German
steamer Pei Ho, which has been en-
gagged in a scientific research eXpedi-
ton for some months past, arrived
today from the Bismarck archipelago
with many tons of curios and fifty
cases Of tropical butterflies aboard
After traversing many Of the water
ways of the Bismarck group, the Pei
Ho headed toward New Guinea and
made its way 23O miles up the Kaiserin
Augusta river.
Many of the CuriOs were secured on
this trip. The steamer anchored of
st. Matthews island, one OF the widest
and most outlying of the Bismarck
group. The natives of the island bear
a bad reputation among sailors and
for the most part are given to canni-
balism.
The explorers on the Pei Ho took
q recording gramaphone into the viii
derness and many records of the folk
songs Of the natives We're secured. The
islanders, they say showed great
jealousy of one another as result of
their dealings with the white men.
The Pei Ho will return 10 the Bis
marck archipelago later In the year, car
ryinP another party Of scientists to
continue the work.

SEVERE QUAKES

Continued from Page One,

which had not yet been distributed.
The population fleeing from the dis
triCt where walls threatened to fall
upon them, rushed toward the Ameri
can huts with the intention of taking
forcible possession of them.
Between o'clock last night and 720
this morning d total of eight shocks
were experienced.
Gradually as the confidence of the
people returned Messina had acquired
a population of something more than
25, 900, but today the people again are
in terror and do not feel themselves
safe even in the temporary huts erect
ed for their shelter, and have fed to
the country, preferring the shelter Of
trees and caves to the danger of the
city. They lack food and covering and
are camping out in desolate groups.
Sailors, soldiers and policemen have
been sent through the district to pre-
vent looting and give courage to the
people.
Between o'clock last night and 7:2o
this morning eight shocks were record
ed and the instruments at the observ-
atory have registered a total of ten
shocks Of varying severity since 1920
a. m.
News received from the provinces in
dicated that damage had been wrought
there hut it is as yet impossible to
estimate the extent of the disaster.

AFTER 16 YEARS EXILE
PRINCESS IS RESTORED
Elizabeth of Bavaria, Who Married q
Protestant Officer, is at Last
Forgiven

MUNICH, July 1.-The romantic mar
riage of Princess Elizabeth of Bavaria
grand daughter of the prince regent
had a happy sequel today Sixteen
years ago the princess, a Roman Cath
Ole, chose to marry Protestant Lieut..
Baron Siegfried Auf Buttenhein.
She was banished and it was ordered
that her husband should be arrested
in case he returned to Bavaria.
The pair went to Vienna where the
princess pleaded with her grandfather
Emperor Francis Joseph, who finally
allowed her husband to enter the Aus
trian service and gave the princess a
residence and an allowance.
After the baron had been promoted
to the rank of captain he was trans
ferred to the reserves and the couple
lived quietly in the provinces with
their children. The princess dropped
her royal title and was known as
Baroness Auf Buttenhein. They We're
often visited by the Austrian EN-
peror, who eventually succeeded in
persuading Archduchess Gisla, Prin-
cess Elizabeth's mother to pardon
her. At the same time he in
tervened with the prince regent who
has now softened his heart and invited
the banished couple to visit the Bavar-
ian court with their children.

Removal of Veteran officer Follows
Arrest and Incarceration of OBJ
scure Youth Befriended by
Supreme Court Justice

NEW YORK, July Mayor Nc
Clellan today removed Theodore A.
Bingham from the office of police COM
missioner
The resignation of Deputy Police
Commissioners F. H. Bugher and
Arthur Woods and of Secretary Daniel
p. Slattery were accepted by Commits
sioner Bingham just before he was
removed from office. Commissioner
Bingham said, on receiving notice of
his removal:
II am now a has-been. Politics
caused it ALL"
The removal was quickly followed by
the announcement that the mayor had
appointed William F. Baker, the first
deputy commissioner. acting commits
sioner, to succeed General Bingham.
Proceedings in behalf of an incor-
spicuous and almost friendless youth
brought about General Binghams re-
moval from the police commissioner
ship. Commissioner Bingham's refusal
to comply in their entirety with Mayor
McClellan's orders following an in
vestigation Of the case of George b.
Duffy, a 19-year-old Brooklyn lad, led
TO the official deposition of the commits
sioner.
Duffy's case was taken up recently by
Supreme Court Justice Gaynor who in
scathing letters to the mayor asserted
that the youth had been made the vic
tim of police persecution, had been
frequently arrested without justifca-
tion and that despite Commissioner
Bingham's knowledge of the youths
innocence, the police departments head
had refused to remove Duffy's picture
from the rogues gallery.

EXECUTIVE MANSION
TO BE REMODELED
WORK OF RENOVATION is Al
READY BEGUN
Tennis Court Is to Go-Fresh Paint
Will Brighten the Interior of
the Time Marked White
House

WASHINGTON, July 1.-Destruction
of the far-famed White House court,
where the so-called Roosevelt Tennis
Cabinet" played, to make room for the
additional working quarters OF the eX-
ecutiye clerical staff, began today when
the excavators marked off the ground
for pick and shovel. This is the begin
ming Of the renovation of the White
House and the further improvements
ordained by President Taft.
Mrs. Taft and the young people will
leave Saturday evening for the sum-
mer quarters at Beverly, and in the
absence of the family will be pursued
the task of rejuVenating with fresh
paint and paper and new upholstery the
old mansion which has sheltered every
presidential family since John Adams
day. Each succeeding administration
orders a renovation of the executive
residence.
President Taft will expend not more
than Sl50,000 for extraordinary I'M
provements in the main building and
$4,000 in increasing the size of the
offices. In either the White House
proper or the new offices no attempt
at grandeur will be essayed. Provision
will be made, however, for better ac-
commodatlons for the scores that flock
TO the White House daily to see the
president.
The presidents efforts at public
economy are shared, it is said, by Mrs.
Taft, whose present intention is not
to avail herself of the customary privi-
lege of purchasing china of new design
to be handed down to posterity as the
Taft set"
