Recent dispatches from Washington

construed as recognition of the Princes
government.
Even though he did travel second
class, Ludwig Schmulten was easily the
biggest man on the Orduna. Ludwig

panic was caused on board when all tho
ships officers talked at once in deciding
what to do with Ludwig. AS the ship
gathered headway preparations were
afoot to let Ludwig have several first
class accommodations. including three
beds. in order that nothing disastrous
might happen to the vessel should he
decide to stretch in the cabin to which

Fitzgerald became i'll Palm Sunday

worse. Efforts to rouse him failed for
many weeks.
Last Saturday. however. the boy
opened his eyes and seemed able to rec

attending to him. He was too weak to

Though he lapsed back into uncon-

ito those who had despaired of his life.
1t is now believed the boy will re-
cover. though 1t will take months for
him to regain his health.
Through HIS long siege of drowsiness
liquid food has been fed to the patient
and at intervals water has been given
to him In the same way.
Fitzgerald Is a student at the Louis

attaclx of the sleeping malady.
The boy is at his home. at $40 East
Market street, here. He is the son OF
Mrs. III. c. Seekamp.
Just how long the spell will last or
what will awaken him is a matter OF
CONJECTURE only. He is being attended

Either q Murder Swindle or
Unexplained Death of Pop
ular Citizen.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD
PORTLAND. Ore, July 30.-Convinced
that DR.. r. M. Brumfield lives and
that he murdered Dennis Russell, Of
ficers Of Douglas county, Oregon,
headed by "Gunman" Hopkins, a dep
uty sheriff with Statewide reputation
for his shooting. are securing the wild
country between Bend and klamath
Falls. Although the Coroner's jury de-
clared that bullet riddled, headless
body found in a charred condition
under DIR. Brumfields car on June 10
was that Of Russell recluse, the jury
did not attempt to name the murderer.
However. warrant was issued for
the arrest, of DR.. Brumfield, who has
not been seen since July 13.
Reports stating that Dr. Brumfield
had been seen have come from many
corners OF the Northwest. One county
officer ran down q man disguised in
women's clothes, but the pretender
was not the doctor. Other reports Of
speeding automobiles, driven by man
answering the doctors description, in
isolated desert regions east of the Cas-
cade Mountains have sent officers hot
on the trail, only to find their suspect
q phantom quarry.
The finding OF DR.. Brumfieid will clear
1ip one Of the strangest mysteries ever
recorded in this State.
The theory held by Sheriff Sam
Starmer Is that DIR. Brumfield, q promi-
nent dentist Of Roseburg, shot Russell,
placed the body in his car and started 1t
over an embankment after placing dyna-
mite in the machine. The exploding
dynamite is thought to have decapitated
Russell The dentist carried $4,000 Of
life insurance. collection of which
through Misrepresentation of the charred
and headless corpse Is thought to have
been the motive behind the suspected
act.
At the coroner's jury hearing Mrs.
Brumfield was stanch in maintaining
the corpse to be that of her husband.
J. T. and Ed. Russell of Roseburg both
insisted that the badly mutilated corpse
was that Of their brother.
Mrs. Brumfield identified detached
and charred ear as that of her husband.
She declared that there were other
marks Of the body that she recognized
as those Of her husband.
Neighbors from DIR. Brumfield's sec
tion of the city were positive that the
corpse was that OF the dentist. Resi-
dents Of the section where the Russell
brothers live were as positive that the
body was that of Dennis Russell.
The Brumfields have been prominent
citizens OF Roseburg for several years.
