APPEAR AS ANIMALS
AT FREAKlSH DINNER
Poets, Litterateurs and Other Bohe-
mians Frolic in
Paris.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON, March 81 1912.
Two freak dinners have been held In Sc
cret by the Studio Club. which has now a
membership Of about fifty poets. iittera-
teurs. sculptors, and SO on. The members
OF the club are Of different nationalities,
Greeks, French, Irish and English pre-
dominating. Their meeting place is in
one of the cosmopolitan streets at the
back of Tottenham Court road.
At the first of the freak dinners about
forty members of the club appeared in
animal guises. A well known woman
novelist was attired as an antediluvian
monster. another woman represented q
leopard, and a poet appeared as q
Chinese pig. Lions, dogs, donkeys. cats
and many other animals were well rep
resented. At the second dinner the forty
ladies and gentlemen present were dress
ed in Grecian costume, and wore sandals.
The dining hall was arranged to repre-
sent a Roman castle, the walters were
attired as Roman priests. around their
heads being vine and olive leaves The
menu was written in Greek. Another
novelty was introduced in the shape OF
member attired as Bacchus, who. mount
ed on a donkey. encircled the room and
strike-small packets Of coal-to the wom-
en-. After the dinner one Of the women.
whose name was unknown even to most
Of the other members, gave a special
Roman dance. The next dinner. to be
held shortly, will, II Is understood be
typical of scene in the Arabian
Nights"

Rehabilitation of the entire patent laws
is now contemplated by the House COM
mittee on. patents. in collaboration with
Commissioners Of Patents Moore. the
task having been determined upon In
view of the Supreme Courts decision ia

Representative Oldfeld Of Arkansas.
chairman of the patents committee. said
today that he was working on a. re-

Moore had a bill which had been sub
mitted to him.
1.-THE committee hopes to have this leg
fslation ready for passage at this session
Of Congress, IL possible" said Mr.. Old
field Besides amending the law relat-
ing to restrictive use of patents. think
we should have incorporated In the law q
compulsory license clause and q compul-
sorry working clause. The bill would COM
pei patentees to permit the public to use
patented articles. fixing reasonable price
to any licensee and providing that courts
might fix a price in case patentees and
licensees could not agree. Immediate ac-
ton seems to me to be necessary and the

Peculiar Freak of Nature Discovered

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
CAPE TOWN. S. A.. March 10. 1912.
From Hebron, in the Orange River
Colony. comes the story Of an amazing
freak of nature. In the native location
twins have been born which recall the
celebrated Siamese couple, but In this
strange manner that the babes are Joined
face to face. The father and mother are
cross-bred Bushmen, small of stature,
sturdily and symmetrically built for their
SIZE Those who have seen them say the
twins are joined together by a thick.
fieshy hgament. The two faces all but
touch each other. their heads move at
times in contrary ways, and the four
hands and arms also move quite inde-
pendently of each other. as also the four
little legs and feet, which are full of
vigor. The two bodies appear to be
strong and healthy, but whether they
will continue so remains to be seen.
When they come to waikiki ever they do
the curious spectacle will be seen of one
moving forward and her twin sister back
ward. And they will always be lookin0
into each others eyes.

The difference between M. Massenet and
the chorus men of the Paris Opera House
is not yet settled. He wants those who
wear hair on their faces to shave it of,
SO as to look more like the old Romans,
and they retort that he is wrong. They
have looked UP the question and find that,
unlike orientals, who favored the beard
and only shaved in token of mourning.
the Romans, after a certain period, did
the exact reverse thus following the ex-
ample set by Scipio Africanus, as is at
tested by Livy: but that was not until 800
years after Rome had been founded.
Boards were still in honor up till then, as
Is proved by the incident during the in
vasion by the Gauls. who found all the
senators bearded. and insulted one by
plucking his beard. Do not historians
show that boards never entirely went out
Of fashion, and do not documents In the
Louvre demonstrate that even the great
Augustus grew one as a sign of grief aft
er the aeath OF Julius Caesar?
The chorus men consider that they have
proved their case triumphantly. but at
the same. time they are inclined to be
conciliatory. They suggest that a few
lines might be introduced into the opera
Of Roma" by way of explaining that at
that date the city was mourning and that
therefore it's male Inhabitants were wear
ing boards.

WILL END OUTLAWS CASE
Ing Are Placed on Trial
Today.

Wytheville, Va. Nov. THE last
Of the trials growing out Of the Hills
Vile courthouse tragedy of last March.
when the Allen gang Of outlaws shot
down and killed six court attaches and
spectators, began here today. when
Sidney Allen and. Wesley Edwards
were arraigned for trial before Judge
Staples Of Roanoke. The two were
captured in Des Moines, Ia, some
weeks ago, after countrywide
search. Edwards is to be tried first.
Then will come the hearing of the
case against Sidney Allen. who is
regarded as the real leader Of the
gang. The prosecution entertains no
doubt of the conviction of both, as
the evidence against them Is consid-
cred even stronger than against the
others. two Of whom have been SEN
fenced to the electric chair and two
others to long terms Of imprisonment.

TAFT GLAD OF CHOICE
OF Partner FOR RIDE
Gays Trip Down Pennsylvania Avenue
Might Not Be So Pleasant II
Things Had Been Different.

Cincinnati, O., Nov. 7.-Even in the
moments when it became apparent
that Governor Wilson was going to
sweep the country President Taft did
not forget his philosophy and good
humor. Here Is story of how the
president looked just about that time,
told by friend:
We've got to find some comfort in
this" the president is reported to
have said. It'll be very glad to ride
down Pennsylvania avenue with Gov
ernor Wilson. 1t wouldn't have been
so easy If things had been different,
but would have taken the ride Just
the same"
The president was up early. Re
took breakfast at the home Of his
brother and shortly before 10 o'clock
started for the Cincinnati Country
club to play golf.
The president left Cincinnati for
Washington. He expects to stay in
the White House until the Christmas
holidays. He may go to Panama
about the middle of December. but
has not made definite arrangements
for such trip.
Among friends of the president
here 1t was said that Chairman Hilles
of the Republican national committee
would shortly return to the White
House as Mr.. Taft's secretary, { pc.
sition he gave up to become national
chairman.
Carmi A. Thompson Of Ohio, the
present secretary, will probably be
given some other position in Wash
ington.

OCCUPATION OF CONSTANTINE.
PIE BY BULGARIA REGARDED
AS INEVITABLE BY RUSSIA.
RoDosTo PORT GIVEN UP

toman Forces Which Are Closely
Pursued by the Balkan Enemy
City Believed Well Protected.

London, Nov. This temporary oc-
cupation of Constantinople by Bull
garia is regarded by Russia as inev-
table. says a st. Petersburg dis
patch to the Daily Mail, and there is
even fear of permanent occupation.
London, Nov. 1.-THE Times cor
respondent with the Turks telegraphs
from Rhodosto, on the Sea of Mar
mora:
This place is in the last phase Of
a hurried evacuation. Munitions and
food are being transshipped to Eregli
Asia Minor. Two Ottoman warships
have arrived, presumably to cover the
final evacuation If the Bulgarian
troops arrive"
Vienna, Nov. 7--With the strongest
outposts on the Turkish frontier al
ready fallen, the chancellories of ELL
rope are beginning to ask where the
onward march of the victorious arm
les Of the Balkan allies is to end. Is
Saloniki the probable objective. or is
it Constantinople itself?
The capture Of Constantinople. the
seat of the Ottoman Empire for CEN
turtles, would indeed, be startling. A
month ago such contingency would
have seemed unworthy Of considera-
ton, but the swiftness and efficiency
displayed by the allied armies in
their onward march have opered the
eyes of Europe, and the possibility Of
the fall of the Turkish capital is be-
ing seriousl discussed.
Seems Well Protected.
Constantinople is believed to be
we'll protected on the land side by
the Tchataldja lines. Surrounding the
city in a half circle are strong earth
works and batteries Of heavy artillery.
BY water the ancient city is consider
ed almost impregnable. even suppos-
Ing the enemy to possess an adequate
naval force. It is known that during
the last year the armament Of the
Dardanelles forts has been strengthen
ed with modern guns of the most
powerful type.
Constantinople is one of the most
prominent and interesting cities Of the
world. It's commanding position, both
commercially and politically, has been
the means of acquainting the world
with its interesting features. Its pop
ulation is estimated at about 1,O00,-
900, It's harbor holds 1900 ships, and
within its IL miles of walls may be
found prayer-houses, or mosques, to
the number Of 5000. The most Of
these mosques are magnificent struc-
lures of marble or other stones, built
by rich sultans as monuments to their
own memory.

WILSON'S ADVISORS.
Material for tire Democratic Cabinet
BEING Discussed.

6etng discussed.
Washington, Nov cabinet NAH
ers are already busy conjuring with
names Of those who will share with
Wilson in shaping the policy Of the
next administration. Necessarily this
is purely gossip. but the cabinet
builders are none the less active IN
pointing out the persons and the ele.
ments available as cabinet material
One Of the available elements en-
braces those who were conspicuous
party figures ut the Baltimore conven-
ton, including Speaker Clark, CHAIR
man Underwood Of the ways and
means committee. VIM. J. Bryan, Gov
ernor Foss Of Massachusetts,. Governor
Harmon of Ohio and some others. Il
Is generally assumed, however. that
Speaker Clark and Chairman Under
wood would prefer to continue their
work in congress, especially now that
tho legislative program on the tariff
and other questions Is likely 10 meet
with fewer obstacles.
Another element from which cab
met material Is being suggested en-
braces those who have been promin-
emily identified with the Wilson cam
paign, notably Chairman McCombs a
the Democratic national committee.
Representatives Burleson and Henry
OF Texas, Representative Palmer Of
Pennsylvania, Assistant Chairman
McAdoo and a number of others who
bore the brunt Of the conflict at Ball
hmore and during the campaign.
