or Manned, Matador
and Picador Gored

MADRID, July ga bull fight which
lasted 10 hours, and in which IS
specially selected animals were killed.

It was one of the costfest entertain
ments of the kind ever held in Spain,
and in consequence of it's being widely
advertised, special trains conveyed ex-
cursionists to Santander from all parts
of Spain. number of spectators came
from Paris.
The most striking feature of the all
day slaughter was the eagerness of
the audience to witness more blood
shed. When the last bull had been
killed at o'clock in the evening, 10000
spectators noisily demanded that others
be brought into the arena.
The fighting, which began at 10 a. m,

The first period which lasted only
two hours, resulted in the death of
three bulls and eight horses. The third
BULL which was turned into the arena,

OPIUM D|SC0VERE
IN GRIM CACHE
Four Thousand Ounces Are
Found Packed in Two
Cofins With Corpses

PEKING, July 26.-From Lanchowfu,
the capital of Kansu province, comes
the report of a man named Hsi who
was arrested last February with two
collins in his possession containing the
remains of near relatives, around which
were packed four thousand ounces of
opium which he was taking with the
corpses into Shansi. 1t Is the custom
of the Chinese to take their dead in
huge wooden collins back to the place
of their birth.
The prisoner was tried and sentenced
to 10 years Imprisonment The case
then was referred to the central gov
ernment in Peking, and the man was
sentenced to death.
The execution has just taken place,
the prisoner being shot instead OF de-
capitated. as was the practice In the
old days.
In connection with the suppression
of the use Of opium news reaches Pek-
ing from time to time of some drastic
measure which the government is able
to enforce in spite of the disorganiza- :
ton 1t is experiencing as result of
the revolution.
Reports tell frequently OF lighting be-
tween farmers who have formed bands
and armed themselves with the object
of successfully harvesting a crop of
opium.
Sometimes the reports tell Of Chris
tians being made special objects of at
tack and even murder because they op-
pose the growing OF the poppy.
The rule of keeping hands off the
missionary and his property, however,
is still generally observed, as 1t was
throughout the revolution.
Other reports tell Of proclama ton 8
threatening death for a third offense
in selling or smoking opium. Still
others tell Of great stocks Of the drug
being burned amidst festival celebra-
tions.
Some $4,000 worth of confiscated
opium went up in smoke in Tientsin
few weeks ago. while bands played
and people drank tea and listened to
speeches telling of the harm opium had
done the Chinese.
IT is believed by foreigners and Chi
nese alike that such drastic measures
would not be possible at this period Of
reconstruction if the feeling Of the ma :
tion were not in favor of the reform

sells belonging to the royal Australian
navy There were only II ships of
5000 tons abroad

asked whether the first lord was aware
that in 1904 the number of such ves-
sells on foreign stations was 35, Mr..
Churchill said, significantly: Il am
very much aware of it, and / hope to
be able somewhat to increase the num-

ABANDONED D JE VEL
SOLD FOR $1,000

PARIS, July ga pearl necklace
sold recently at public auction has a
peculiar history attached to 1t.
Eight years ago an unknown indi-
vidual brought it to boulevard
jeweler for the purpose Of valuation.
His conscience was evidently uneasy,
for on the entry of two customers,
whom he seems to have taken for de-
tectives, he made a precipitous de-
parture, leaving the necklace in the
hands of the jeweler.
Subsequently he telephoned the
jeweler on several occasions, requesting
him to hand the necklace to a certain
person, which the Jeweler in the cir
cumstances refused to do. For long
time the jewels remained in his shop
without finding a purchaser. and even
tual1y the jeweler was glad to be able
to hand the necklace over to the police
as an object found in circumstances
pointing to theft"
No claimants were ever forthcoming.
and the police have been unable to
discover of which robbery 1t was the
fruit, so it has now been sold as men
toned. The necklace brought $500
francs, which is only about third of
its real value but the national treasury
has a windfall all the same.
Several women have just been ac-
corded distinctions usually reserved for
members of the other sex.
Mile. Lily Boulanger has won the
Grand Prix de Rome, the first time that
this much coveted musical prize has
fallen to a woman. She is not quite
20, and is the daughter of musician
well known in his day, while her
mother has also appeared with distinc-
tion on the concert platform.
Mile. Boulanger's eldest sister her
self won the second of the second

devoted herself to composing and teach

ESTATE VAN|SHES;
LACK Of A WILL
CONCEALS C[EW
Heirs and Authorities Puz-
zled by Disappearance of
Wealth Left by Spouse
Who Got Divorce

PARIS, July ga fortune of $780,
Partisan woman named Ferguson, has
vanished. It's disappearance is a puz-
zling to the heirs of the estate as 1t
is to the Paris police, who have been
asked to find it. Madame Ferguson was
originally of English nationality, hav-
ing been born in Nottingham in 1892,
and she died in Paris two years ago.
She had spent the greater part OF her
life in France. and her history had been
2 romantic one. She was married in
Paris to a wealthy dentist named Pre-
teree. They lived happily for some
time. but ultimately Madame Preteree
quarreled with her husband, and aban-
doning her home, formed a marked
friendship with the late NJ. Osiris. the
famous philanthropist and art collector.
The dentist sought by every means
in his power to become reconciled, but
falling, obtained a decree of divorce
and his wife resumed her maiden name
of Ferguson. NJ. Preteree, who prede-
ceased her by several years. left her,
despite the legal separation, the bulk
of his fortune OF s560,o0o, as well as
an allowance for life.
Subsequently NJ. Osiris, whose friend
ship she had so long enjoyed, also
died, but he left all his money to the
Pasteur institute.
Madame Ferguson died two years
ago, and her only son, Henri Fergu-
son, laid claim to her estate, but the
inventory made by the authorities at
the time of her death failed to show
the whereabouts of the fortune
Mother and son had not been on the
best of terms since the decree of di-
vorce had been pronounced Madame
Ferguson appears to have left no will
and 1T Is assumed that if she did not
make an anonymous gift of her fortune
to some charitable institution, she may
have hidden it and then died without
revealing the place of concealment.

The Moslem law lays 1T down

constituted a testator can only
deal freely with a small part of
his estate, the balance has to. be

estate into religious trust.
Usually such a trust is made
for the benefit of the heirs and
to protect the estate from undue

dained to follow the custom and
has directed that his children are
to receive just sufficient to en-
able them to live.

ployment of three wireless operators on
each cutter instead of two.
Smuggling has decreased in recent
