GLAMIS, Scotland, October 9.—It has just leaked out that the Glamis Castle ghosts failed to materialize while the Prince of Wales was a guest there of the Duke and Duchess of York and that the heir:apparent to the British throne was much disappointed. The seat of the Earl of Strathmore, father of the Duchess of York, is cred- ited as being the oldest castle in Scotland. It was there that Duncan, King of Scotland, is held by legend to have been murdered by Macbeth. The secret of a hidden chamber in Glamis Castle, where the ghosts are credited with holding their revels, is supposed to he known by no one ex- cept the Earl of Strathmore and his eldest son. When the son becomes of age the earl is supposed to reveal the secret to him and he in turn must hold the uncanny details of the cham- ber unto himself until his heir reaches his majority. ... e RESTAURANT MEN ELECT.

TOKIO, October 9.—"High offictals’ of the Japanese navy department are considering an entirely new proposi- tion for international agreement, one calling for a’limitation of expendi- turés for auxiliary warships.” This text featured articles in Jap- anese newspapers today, but the navy department declined to assume re- sponsibility for it.
