NEW YORK. July 10.?Dr. Carlo*
F. Macdonald, whose specialty la discovering
brainstorms and who was a
State Insanity expert In the Thaw murder
' trial, returned to town after a
three weeks Ashing trip and learned
that the Metropolitan Turf 'Association
was sAffeflng a terrible skull cyclone.
Dr. Macdonald was near the city
limits when he opened his morning
paper and read that the bookies were
worrying about a matter of $20,000

from bis farmer betting commissioner,
Kid Dreyfuss. <
"I've been salmon Ashing on the St.
George River, In Upper Quebec, (or
three weeks," said Or. Macdonald, on
arriving home tOnlay. "On July 3, the
day I'm alleged to hare "placed the
biggest bet 1 wasmiles away from
Gaspe, the nearest postofflce. I have
been to the race track but twlpe within'
the year, and then my bets hare
amounted to less than 3100. There
was nothing about my betting when l
was present to Indicate I would place
any amounts like 120,000."
"Will you pay the mancers?" he was
asked.
"No. Why should I be troubleJ
about It? It Is not up to me to'pay
for the fraud a man worked on the
bookmaktrs. They should hare
known better than to hare taken In
my name to that extent."
Eddie Burke, president of the Metropolitan
Turf Association, announced
that a meeting of the association
would be held to discuss the matter.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y., July 10.?Only
tbe vigilance of tbe Secret Service
guard saved President Roosevelt from
an uninvited guest who made bis appearance
at Sagamore Hill at 4 o'clock
Monday morning. The man arrived
In an automobile. He was stopped by
tbe guard a short distance Inside of
the entrance to tbe President's
grounds and before be was In sight
of the house. He said that he wtabcJ
to call the President's attention to a
new kind of submarine. He'was very
tractable and offered no resistance
when the Secret Services men told him
that be must leave the grounds a:
once.
The stranger drove baok to Oyster
Bay. and had an early breakfast at the
Octagon Hotel, where he refused to
register. J.eavlng the hotel, he went
to the executive offices, where he waited
two hours for Secretary Loeb. He
told the Secretary that he had been
troubled by the reports of a possible
war between the United States and
Japan, and had decided that It was
his duty to tall the President about an
Improvement In, submarine boat ft
which he had perfected.
Secretary Loeb talked for some tlm?
with the man and came to the conclusion
that he was demented. The Sec

"The visitor was a tali, bpdid-ahnnidered

'He gave evidence of breeding
and education. It was easy to
see that he was hot quite right and
he was such a powerful fellow that f
took gooj ca.e not to excite him. 1

In Portugal
EXTENSIVE IN ARMY AND ALL
GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS,
EVEN IN DIPLOMATIC
CORPS.
LISBON, Portugal. July 10.?The investigation
of Premier Franco has
shown the prevalence of graft on an
extensive scale. In the army, governmental
service and the diplomatic
corps alike grafting has run riot. The
disclosures have created the greatest
sensation of years, ft is doubtful, however,
If all the grafters can be pun
ished, so widespread has been tne ,
practice. ,
Premier Franco's Investigation was I
started In a campaign to reduc?
state expenditures to meet the financial
crisis Portugal faces as a result'
uf King Carlo's determination to reign I
without Parliament. In investigating1
army expenditures Franco found there |
are numerous army politicians holding
from 2 to 12 positions apiece, whose
whole service performed in any office
has been to draw the salary. They
They never appeared at their posts ex-|
cept on paydays. 1
In one Instance a highly connected!
Portuguese citizen, wiio was appoint!
ed minister to China :n 1902. it was
discovered, had never left Portugal,
although he has been drawing his salary
of {12.500 a year as minister. At
the same time he was holding six other
government positions, whose salaries
aggregated 120,000 a year.
A rich family. It was also brought

A large subsidy granted a local nunnery
has been paid regularly, although
(lie Institution was abolished five
years ago. Hundreds of similar cases
of grafting hare also been Jlscorered.
By cutting off the gratltuitles of the
grafters Franco has already reduced
the annual state expenses or 87,500.000
mllrels (about J94.000.000) by 6,500,000
mllrels (about 50,772,000.) He
Is continuing his Investigation, which
brought such fruitful results, and expects
to further reduce expenditures
by uncovering other corruption. By
the saving he has made Franco expects
to secure a small surplus.in the

at the altar of the daughter of
Captain Kelley, o banker and one of
the most promlueut citltens of Brownsville,
Tex. Richardson was a "morphine
fiend," and be wrote that bis act
"was Inevitable since last November."

of the Kehoy family traveled to
