with perjury by his nephew, George
Hollamby Druce. The charge is inci
dental to the Druce claim to the es-
tates of the Duke of Portiand, and
dates back to i893.
This remarkable case centers about
the old question whether Thomas
Charles Druce, at one time the owner
of the famous Baker street bazaar,
who was said to have died 43 years
ago, was or was not the eccentric
firth Duke of Portland, who died in
1879.
Robert Caldwell, of Richmond coun-
ty, New York, testified that he knew
the late Duke of Portiand both as the
duke and ag T. C. Druce at Welbeck
Abbey and at the Baker street bazaar.
He said he treated the duke at both
places for a disease of the nose.
There was a buzz of excitement
when Mr. Caldwell swore that in con-
junction with the duke he arranged
the death and mock funeral of
“Druce,” so that his duel personality
could finally be buried.
Caldwell declared that at the duke’s
request he employed a carpenter to
make a coffin, purchased 200 pounds
of lead and put it in the coffin him-
gelf. The funeral occurred the follow-
ing day.
Witness further testified that he saw
the duke on the morning of the fu-
neral at the Baker street bazaar.
When shown two photographs Mr.
Caldwell declared that they were
those of the Duke of Portland in the
sharacter of T. C. Druce,
Asked to account for the beard
shown in one of them, he replied that
he had seen the duke wear a false
beard, and had ever seen him take
it off.
A day or two later he asked the
Duke of Portland if the so-called
Druce had left a will. The duke re-
turned thanks for being reminded of
such an important point and sald he
must have one made.
One of the strangest features of the
case is that about the middle of June,
1908, workmen who were tearing
down Harcourt house, Cavendish
square, London, one of the residences
of the Duke of Portland, discovered
an underground passage from the
house to the Baker street structure,
in which the famous bazaar had been
conducted hy Thomas Charles Druce.
The claimant declares that the
duke, while living his double life, used
the undergfound passage to get from
| Harcourt house to the place of busi
ness of “Druce.”
The original action in the case was
hrought to eject Lord Howard de
Walden from the London property,
which his father inherited from the
fifth Duke of Portland through the
supposed failure of the direct line,
The contention has been that if this
suit was successful the establishing
of the claimant's title to the other es
tates held by the Duke of Portland
would follow as a natural conse
quence.
The income from the Duke of Port
land’s estates js estimated at not less
than $1,500,000.

NO FORAKER MEETING
He Must Speak For Himself, Says
Senator Dick.
Washington, Nov. 12. — Senator
Charles Dick, of Ohlo, denied that he
was to be a party to a conference,
the object of which was to launch the
candidacy of Senator Foraker for
president.
“It's all a mistake,” said he. “1
know of no such conference and cer
tainly am not a party to it. Senator
Foraker must speak for himself relat
ing to his plans.”
Senator Dick has learned that his
colleague is to arrive in Washington
at the end of the week. He expressed
doubt whether any announcement
would come from Mr. Foraker regard-
ing the presidential nomination. Sen-
ator Foraker is known to entertain
some pronounced views as to the pro
priety of any man proclaiming him-
self a candidate for president.
“If any person expects me to an
nounce myself a candidate for presi
dent,” Senator Foraker has sald,
commenting upon reports about him-
similar to those now in circula-

Pennsylvania Railroad Announcement. '
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD
BULLETIN,
THE NEW UNION STATION AT WASHINGTON.
All the passenger trains of the Pennsylvania Railroad will enter
and depart from the new Union Station at Washington on November
17th, 1907, and on the same date the present station at Sixth and B
streets will be closed to traffic.
The date is singularly fitting. In 1807 both wings of the Capitol
were completed, and now a century later a building even larger is
opened for a great public utility, which did not exist at that time.
The railroad terminal facilities at Washington have been inade-
quate for years, particularly at inauguration periods and on the assem-
blage of other large gatherings at the Capital. Their improvement
was imperative and so it has come about that, by the combined effort
of the railroads and the United States Government, one of the largest
and unquestionably the handsomest railroad station in the world is
now provided not only for the convenience of the citizens of the United
States, but as a notable architectural addition to the great public
buildings of the Capital City. It is a monumental edifice and a
worthy type of the future structures, which will make Washington the
municipal beauty spot of the world.
The station including the Concourse is longer than the Capitol
and nearly as wide. The waiting room is larger than the hall of the
House of Representatives. The concourse, which is the train lobby,
is longer than the interior of the Capitol building, if it were one con-
tinuous hall, and half as wide. It is the largest building ever con-
structed for a like purpose.
Within this great structure there is every convenience the traveler
can desire, so grouped about the central hall as to serve his purpose
to the best advantage.
The lofty arched entrances face a plaza as large as an ordinary
city park, which will be laid out as a plaza and adorned with shrub-
bery and fountains.
The trackage. is sufficient for all demands upon it and as the en
trance to and exit from the trains are separated, the confusion and
jostling of hurrying crowds moving in opposite directions will be ob-
viated.
The bigness of the station is impressive ; its utilities obvious,
