YACHT ELENA IS LEADING
IN RACE FOR CLARK CUP

Sunset.

VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass. June Is
Five schooner-yachts, competitors In the
third annual race for the Clark gold
cup, which was started at Newport. r.

Capt. Pill" Dennis was leading, and
the Irolita, owned and sailed by E.

yacht owned by Alfred Douglas. was
fourth. Last Of the racers to disappear
in the twilight was Harold 8. Wander
bits Vagrant II. ten miles behind the
leading boats. on her maiden race.
Making Good Time.
AS the yachts passed over the shoals
they were making good time before a
brisk eight-knot southwester. which had
come in from the sea after they had
struggled through half an hours calm
in Vineyard sound.
A fading northerly breeze waited the
schooners after they passed Sakonnet
and 1t was with the appearance. of the
wind from this quarter that the Sea Fox
overhauled the Shiyesea and Vagrant,
while the skipper of the latter endeav-
ored unsuccessfully to find stray cur
rent of air more to his liking.
The Elena and Irolita, which had swap
ped the lead almost frohn the start. had
grand struggle on the beat through
Vineyard sound. the former being un-
able to shake of her old rival until
abreast of Tarpaulin cove. The advan-
tage gained then was slight, but suffi-
cient to give Capt Dennis confidence in
his chances Of winning the third and de-
Gliding leg in the objective trophy.

They Feed Upon Refuse.

Flies are peculiarly attracted to the
food that tickles the palate of man,
states DR.. Murray. unfortunately,
however, their tastes are so diverse that
they are not content with the food of
man alone, but must also, for the sake
of variety. visit and feed upon prac-
tically every source of refuse known.
In timing their visits to the food
supplies Of man they frequently are
very indiscreet, and care little for the
character Of the filth or refuse they may
be carrying at the time of their visits.
Flies that may be found in lunchroom
or other place where food is sold may
have only short time before been
visitors to the garbage pail in the rear
yard, the pile of refuse in the gutter
of the street, or may have just dropped
in after crawling over an exposed sore

ROMANTIC TRAGEDY
WIRED TO THE STAR
Lieut.. SomerviIIe King of the
British Army Said to Fig
ure in Story.
DIVORCED COUPLE REWED
ON WOMAN'S DEATHBED
Dolly Grey, Who Was Chorus Girl,
Reported to Have Died Here
Thursday.

A death notice OF a woman Of whose
death there is no record. an unindenti-
fed, elderly man, and word of a death
bed marriage of a divorced couple and
q subsequent burial Of which there is
no trace, all figure prominently in a
seeming mystery in the District for
which no solution has been found up
to the present time.
AS revealed in a message received
from New York, and a notice Of the
death of a woman, there has occurred
in Washington within the last week a
tragedy which rivals the plots OF all
Of the stirring tales of fiction of all
time. The only touble with these ap-
parent elements is that no facts can
be found in explanation Of the story
The mystery began last Thursday,
when the following death notice was in
serted in The Star:
Grey. On June 81. 1913. at Washing
ton, D. c., Dorothy Grey of New York -
Telegram to The Star.
Yesterday the following telegram was
received by The Star from New York:
Lieut.. Somerville King of the British
army. who came to Washington Wednes-
udy III dHSWcI " d Call lIOIll Ills lOI iicI
wife, Dolly Grey, who was dying, ad-
mitted today that he had remarked her
two hours before the end came. He is
a son Of Ri. Hon. William King of Lon
don. and his marriage and subsequent
divorce from the chorus girl aroused
much comment several years ago. Inter-
ment was made at Glenwood, as Mrs.
King. Death caused by hemorrhage of
lungs. Notice OF death Thursdays STAR
Immediately after the receipt of this
telegram the mystery reporter got to
work, but his labors up to the present
have been fruitless, unless the constant
deepening of the mystery counts for
something.
The records at the District building
failed to reveal the death of Dolly Grey.
the marriage records failed to reveal the
marriage of Somerville King or Dolly
Grey and the burial records at Glenwood
cemetery failed to show that any one by
that name had been inferred there.

Means of Prevention.

AS the most effective means of pre-
vention, he suggests the following:
First, thoroughly screen the establish
ment and protect the doorway openings
by power-driven fans. SO that there will
be constant current Of air outwards.
Second, afford as little exposure OF
foodstuffs, prepared or otherwise, as
possible within the establishment. thus
elimina ting possible sources which at
tract insects.
Third, maintain absolute cleanliness of
floors and utensils for the reasons given
above.
Fourth, provide adequate garbage re-
ceptacles kept tightly covered and fire.
quently treated with some good deo-
dorant, such as chloride Of lime, crude
carbolic acid, etc.
Fifth, destroy any flies that may gain
entrance to the establishment by means
of fly poisons, sticky fly papers. fly
traps. etc. These means of destroying
the insects can be used to the best ad-
vantage during those periods of the day
when business is the lightest and thus
will be less likely to attract notice.
In using poisons, sticky fly paper and
traps it should be remembered that flies
frequent that portion of the premises
where the most natural light is af-
forded
