1t Is believed that the business which

principally personal in character. and that
yond this week.
Later the new minister was seen at MS
Motel and asked concerning affairs in which
United States and Turkey are interested:
<tS u the general relations between the
two countries he said through an inter-
prefer. Il am glad to say that they are
most friendly and satisfactory.
On the part Of Turkey there Is sincere
admiration Of the remarkable growth and
enterprise Of the United States, and the
best OF feeling toward this country. My
purpose will be to help in every way to

AS to the ordering of cruiser In an
American ship yard the minister said that
he was aware this had been done, but he
was not familiar with the details. The en-
tire transaction had been managed by the
Turkish admiral who visited the United
States
When asked as to reports of Armenian
outbreaks In Turkey he said:
There are no such outbreaks in fact,
and the reports which are spread abroad
concerning disorder in Turkey come from
enemies of the country, who do not scruple
to magnify the most triflng incidents into
stories of widespread disorder.
For instance, If an Armenian is arrested
for drunkenness on the street, the enemies
of Turkey will take up this natural occur
renee and spread abroad the report of an
atrocity. The truth Is that the country is
quiet and reports to the contrary are fabri-
cations by our enemies"

In case just decided before Judge Gear
and jury it has been held that the Royal
insurance Company of London is response
bic on policy for $1,000 for buildings de-
stroyed in the great Chinatown fire OF
January. 1850 This is the fire which re-
suited from the order Of the board Of
health to destroy block No Is of the
plague-infected district. The policy of the
company contained clause that insurance
should not be paid for losses caused di-
rectiy or indirectly by any civil authorit
ana the supreme court recently gave a Ce-
clslon that in such cases the insurance
companies We're not responsible. This re-
suited in a withdrawal of a number of
cases.
New Issue Brought Out
In the case just tried, however. the plain
tins brought forward new issue They
contended that the real cause of destruc-
tion OF property, outside of that actually
ordered destroyed by the board Of health
was a sudden rise in the wind which
caused the fire to spread all over China
town. Under this contention the jury gave
a verdict for the plaintiffs II the deci-
sion Is sustained 1t will mean that many
insurance companies which have been sup
posed to be exempt under the former su-
preme court decision will have to pay the
amounts for which they gave policies.

yONFESSES TO A DOUBLE CRIME
Outraged and MutiIated Girl and
Killed a Woman.
THOUGHT TO BE INSANE

DENVER. Col. July s.-Jessie Kinport.
the fourteen-year-old daughter of Mrs.
Carrie D. Kinport, who resides at 119 West
9th avenue, was assaulted and horribly
mutilated in her room during the absence
of her mother last night. Mrs. Kinport
had been away during the evening, and
upon returning home found the doors open.
Fastening to her daughters room she
found the bed clothes strewn about and
blood spattered over the room. The girl
was nowhere to be seen. She aroused the
neighbors, who began searching the neigh
borhood. About midnight they found the
girl in a vacant lot nearby. unconscious
and numerous cuts on her body.
Authorities Notified.
The authorities were notified, but not be-
fore Chris Jensen had been brought to the
station by Policeman Lambert, who had
arrested him on the outskirts of the city.
AS Lambert approached Jensen whipped
out a knife and shouted to the officer that
he would not be taken to jail Lambert
dfsarmed Jensen and brought him to the
station On the way he repeatedly spoke
of having been compelled to defend him
self from a woman. saying that he had cut
her up pretty badly. The knife he had
threatened the officer with was covered
with blood.
police department was notified of the
sault. upon the little Kinport girl. From
his actions the police are convinced that
Jensen is demented. An investigation of
the footprints at the scene of the crime
show that the shoes worn by Jensen fit
the marks exactly. The police believe that
Jensen is the guilty person and that he
&C Cmmitted the numerous assaults made
upon women of late. The victim of last
nights assault is still alive, but in a criti-
cal condition.
COnfesses Two Crimes.
Jensen confessed to the police that he
assaulted Jessie Kinport, and also said he
stabbed another woman during the night
near the end of the University Park car
line.
Search was at once begun and the dead
body of Mrs. Bullet was found this morn
ing at the place described by Jenson She
had been stabbed in the breast, and the
blade of the knife had penetrated her
heart causing instant death. The body lay
in the roadway and there was no evidence
of struggle.
Jensen said the woman was after him.
and for that reason he stabbed her.
Mrs. Bullet lived on ranch near the
city.

FRUITS OF EXPANSION
CUBAN WATERMELONS LATEST NOV

ers Present Great Variety.

The first fruits Of expansion, in the lit
erai sense of the word, are Cuban water
melons. Weighing about three pounds,
fifteen inches long and ten inches in diam
eter. Of a rich. red-brown color, the Cuban
watermelon, which has for the first time
made its appearances in the markets Of
Washington, creates mouth watering en-
thusiasm, until the dealer tells you, as an
afterthought:
''They have to be fried before eating"
Nevertheless, there Is a demand among
epicureans in Washington for this fruit
vegetable product Of the fair isle, and deal
ers say the Cuban watermelon, the only
novelty of the season in the edible line,
has come to stay.
When the mercury in the thermometer
1t has been during the past week, there is
a noticeable change in the appetites of
humanity. Those who continue to eat
eschew meats and supply themselves with
fruits and vegetables.
The resources of the country from Cali
fornfa TO Porto Rico are available in the
local markets. Porto Rico sends us the
finest pineapples we have. They weigh all
Of twelve pounds each. and can be had for
from 80 to 70 cents each.
From the other direction, California has
just begun sending US her new crop Of
oranges, of which the quality Is the finest.
Purple and red plums are also California's
contribution to Washington tables, as are
Bartlett pears, just in.
The peaches, which are beginning to he

lusciousness.

Early harvest apples are coming in rapidly
from Virginia and Maryland, while the
watermelons Of the plain American variety
are being brought by the car load from
Georgia.
The prices range from 25 to so cents. and
perhaps the cost will be little less when
the South Carolina melons begin to arrive A
