KAISER CONDONES
A BRUTAL MURDER
Transfers Convicted Prince From
Prison to Asylum.

BERLIN. May 25.-No previous act OF
imperial grace toward aristrocratic muir
derers has stirred up so much bad blood
as the transfer of Prince Prosper OF
Ahrenberg from prison to an asylum,
where he is enjoying every liberty, in
Guiding the pleasures of the table and
company.
Two years ago Ahrenberg was found
guilty of a most atrocious murder of a
well-to-do African farmer. a court-mar-
tial sentenced the prince to death, but
the Kaiser commuted the sentence TO If
teen years imprisonment
Now imperial experts" claim that
Nuremberg was insane at the time of the
murder. though he was also absent
some 10000 miles from the company of
the experts. Thereupon William ordered
the prince TO be lodged In high-class
institute for fast livers in need of hav-
Ing their nerves restored to their proper
condition.
Severe comment in the press is of
course permissible. but one can
read between the lines that the condor
ing of one of the viIest murders on rec
ord IS generally regarded as a miscar,
riage Of justice and an outrage upon
common decency.

here, and its lever OF power is co-opera-

out America. This is the first formal
demand for Increased prices.
1t is set out in the bulletin that this
is an era of prosperity; that the de-
mand for cereals is greater than ever.
and that wheat now and of the summer
harvest is eQuitably worth a dollar a
bushel on the basis of the Chicago
market.
Then the bulletin continues:
Farmers, keep this fact in mind;
keep dollar wheat before your eyes
and you Will get II as sure as the sun
rises in the east. Above all. we implore
you, don't be fools
When you get the equitable price. let
it go. Sell on the basis of 81 and no
less. Do not hold for any more, or you
may run up an unwieldly surplus. which
would compel lower prices''

SEVEN YEARS CAPTIVE
IN TURKISH HAREN
Experience of a Bulgarian
Woman Sold to a Turk.
ONE LONG LIVING DEATH
Rescued at Length by Russian Woman
Doctor and Protected
by Consul.

BERLIN, May 25.-The "Odessky No.
vosti'' relates the following romantic
story OF Bulgarian lady who was kid
naped and confined for seven years in a
Turkish harem;
Nine. Gerschoff. the wife of a Bull
gerian officer stationed at Kaibilar, on
the Turko- Bulgarian frontier. and who
was then only twenty-five years of age.
was of such surprising beauty that her
fame spread throughout the neighborine
districts
One day, when her husband was away
at the maneuvers, a number of Turks
entered the house. which was some dis
lance from any other dwelling, seized
Nine Gerschoff and carried her across
the Turkish frontier.
servant witnessed the capture. but
was unable to do anything but alarm the
police, who were powerless as soon as
Nine. Gerschoff had been conveyed into
Turkish territory The Bulgarian gov
eminent took the matter up, but Nine
Gerschoff had disappeared and no trace
OF her could be found
1t has now transpired that she was
conveyed to Constantinople and sold to
a wealthy Turk for 81 900 by the brigands
who had kidnapped her.
She became an inmate of the Turks
harem, and remained in a bondage worse
than death for seven years till the
chance visit of a Russian female doctor
to the harem gave her an opportunity
to escape. This lady had been summon
ed to attend another inmate of the
harem, and Nine. Gerschoff confided her
story TO her.
The lady doctor. at the risk of her
own safety, helped Nine. Gerschoff to es-
cape, and brought her to the Russian
consulate in Constantinopie. The Rus
sion consul put her on the Russian
steamship Oleg, which landed her at the
Bulgarian port of Burgas, where the au-
thorities took charge of her and sent her
back to her home.

MULE DFFEATS HORSE
IN SAVAGE CONTEST
Owners of Animals Matched Them
in Tug-of-War.

WILLIAMSBURG, Pa, May 25.-Cruelty
of the Spanish bull fight has been
ecIipsed. agents of the Humane Society
think, by contest which was designed
20, test the relative strength of VIII
knsburg mule and horse.
Owners of the animals were held in
$500 bail to answer in court charges OF
cruelty to animals.
The story of the struggle. as told by
witnesses who appeared before Alder
man W. A. Mean. is as follows:
Joseph Wesley, of Larimen Avenue
conceived the idea that his mule was d
Eiore powerful animal than George
S2ider's horse After a heated argu-
ment il was decided to test the strength
OF the animals
Shafts were removed from heavy
wagon and the mule was chained to one
end of the vehicle, the horse to the
other At a signal the two owners urged
the horse and mule to pull ahead. II
was testified that the horse secured a
momentary advantage and dragged the
mule down Larimer Avenue several
yards. The mule kept on his feet, how
ever, and finally stopped the horse. At
ter a brief intervals, in which the ami
mails exerted all of their prodigious
strength, the horse weakened and the
mule lunged forward
The horse kept up the struggle for
few nome nts, but finally lost courage.
e was pulled down the avenue faster
and faster, and finally lost its footing
Thrown TO the ground it was an easy
burden for the mule 20 pull. and the
contest changed into a spirited gallon
down the street.
When the mule was stopped it was ad-
judged the victor.
The horse was frightfully cut and
bruised Citizens who witnessed the
spectacle were Mortified and promptly
asked the Humane Society 10 see 10 1t
toat the two owners were punished.

BOATLOADS Of CARP
FOUND IN RIVER DAM
Susquehanna Basin Fairly Alive With
Big Fish as Water Ran Low.

LOCKHAVEN, Pa, May 25.-German
carp by the boatload were taken from
the pool of the dam here today. AS
one stood on the bridge that spans the
Susquehanna and looked down into the
clear waters the river seemed 20 be
alive with fish. Great schools moved
slowly up and down the stream. Hun
dreds were caught in nets and offered
for sale on the streets for song. Some
weighing from six to eight pounds were
in the lot. Poor indeed was the family
that could not offer carp on the Lii of
fare.
German carp are seldom ii ever caught
with hook and line. but are captured
by means of seines and nets. They
have great appetites, however, for other
fish. and their appearance in such droves
makes it probable that bass fishing Will
not be very good this season.

MAJOR BLACKS TASK
ON ISTHhUS OF PANAMA
Computing Work Done by
French Company.
ALSO STUDIES SANITATION
Latter Occupation, However, Entirely
Personal, Though With a View to
Possible Future Assignment.

Members of the subcommittee of the
Panama Canal Commission have been
amused by a story published in local
paper and copied in other papers TO the
effect that Major William NJ Black,
Corps of Engineers, United States Army,
had been left on the isthmus for the
purpose of investigating sanitary condi-
tions. and that his report would be
awaited to determine the possibility of
constructing the canal under safe con-
ditions without an expenditure of money
that would make the proposition IN
feasible
Major Black is on the ;sthmus, so far
as this Government is concerned, for the
purpose of ascertaining the exact amount
When the canal property has been taken
over by this Government ii will be nee
essary to pay the French company for
the work that has been performed in
preventing the lapsing of the concession.
Three Dates for Computing.
There are three dates from which this
Government will have to reckon in com
putting the amount expended by the
French company after this Government
assumed responsibility. The first date
is March 3, when Attorney General Knox
sent a dispatch to Paris closing the OPP
ton for the canal property. The second
is the day on which the treaty was rat
flied by the United States Senate. The
third is the day on which the treaty viii
be ratified by the Colombian Congress.
The date has not been determined on
which the responsibility OF the United
States is to begin, and the question
will undoubtedly be submitted to the
Attorney General. Congress will then
make an appropriation to pay the claim.
probably in accordance with the recon-
mendation of the Attorney General.
Guarding Against Fraud
It Will be necessary, however for the
canal commission to show that 1t has
indisputable evidence to the effect that
the claims are just, and it is with that
en1 in view that Major Black was left
on the Isthmus. He is measuring the
earth removed from the cuts, and is
counting the men. The payrolls will
be examined to prevent padding and
other precautions taken to inssre this
Government against fraud.
It is true Major Black had personal
reason for seeking the Panama assign
ment. He is Investigating the SANTA
ton of the isthmus with a view to
making many improvements. but that is
not now a governmental task. It is
known that to some engineer will be
given the contract TO clean up the
isthmus before the United States sends
men to work on the canal, and Major
Black will be an applicant for the task
1t would not be surprising if he is recon-
mended for the place, as the members
of the canal commission have great con-
fidence in his work.
