MAKE EFFORT TO
SAVE BUCKS NECK
ATTORNEYS SEEK STAY OF
EXECUTION
Hanging Set for June Illegal Holl-
days May Interfere-WiIl Ap-
peal to Warden Of San
Quentin

with only two weeks in, which to Sc
cure a stay of execution and all legal
proceedings at standstill because of
the holidays, attorneys for Morris
Buck, who is under sentence of
death for the murder Of Mrs. Cloe can
field, are making every effort to secure
an Interference in the case from Cover
nor Pardee.
The death warrant has been signed
and the hanging set for the morning Of
June ], and unless the holidays come to
close before that time or the governor
interferes and grants n stay of execu-
tion, Morris Buck will be taken to the
jail yard of San Quentin prison and
hanged according to the order of Judge
Smith of the superior court.
Following the Buck trial several
weeks ago Attorney A. d. Warner, who
represented Buck, withdrew from the
case on the ground that he had done
everything in his power and had not
received a cent for It. In that way
Buck was allowed to be sent to the
northern penitentiary and his death
warrant signed.
Even at that late date Judge Smith
might have been able to stay execution
had 1t not been for the fact that At
lOIuey w dIltE entered lIb case again
and withdrew the whole proceedings
from the superior court of Los Angeles
county by filing bill Of exceptions to
the trial. That took the case from the
Jurisdiction of the lower courts and
before Warner could file an appeal with
the state supreme court the San Fran
cisco earthquake occurred and the cer-
tificate of transcript necessary to carry
the case to the higher court was tied UP
by the legal holidays.
Refuses Stay
Warner appeared yesterday before
Judge Smith in department one of the
superior court and petitioned an order
staying execution until the case could
be taken before the supreme court.
Judge Smith refused, stating that he
had no further jurisdiction in the case
because he had signed the death war
rant and that had been his last official
act for Buck.
Within the next few days the copies
of all the proceedings of appeals will be
sent to the warden of the San Quentin
penitentiary in the hope that he will
stay the execution until he receives in
formation from the supreme court. If
the warden refuses to recognize any of
the documents the attorneys for the
condemned man will hurry to Governor
Pardee and ask for a stay of execution
until after the legal holidays when the
case can be given a proper hearing in
the supreme court.

The consumption Of prunes in the
United States exceeds 100,000,000
pounds yearly. Prior to 1886 the sup
ply came almost wholly from France
and the Danublan provinces, and sold
under the designation Of French" or
s'Turkish" prunes.
In the yesr referred to, prunes of
American growth appeared on the
market, and with each succeeding year
the supply las increased, until the inn
portation OF foreign fruit has been re-
duced to extremely small proportions.
Much the larger portion Of the prune
supply is the production of California.
where climatic peculiarlties are ex-
trcmely favorable for its production.
In Santa Clara County alone there
are 100000 trees growing on $4,000
acres, 100 to the acre, yielding $780,
600 600 pounds, or thereabout, of green
fruit, or thirty pounds from each full
grown tree The quantity of prunes
somewhat exceeds 110,0O0,O00 pounds
more than enough for the require
ments of the whole country, but the
excess, with that raised in other locali-
ties, is needed to supply the export de-
mand from Great Britain, Germany
and France. The first plum trees
were planted forty years ago in Cali
fornia.
Ten thousand trays Of fruit spread
out in one unbroken tract may be seen
in Santa Clara in the drying season.
When sufficiently cured the prunes are
stored in separate bins and there al
lowed to sweat" this process taking
from ten TO twenty days, when they are
ready for marketing. Ten different
grades are required, ranging fsom
an average Of thirty five to tue pound
to the smallest size, ave~a glng no.

DIES BEFORE CLASSMATES
Student Is shockc1 to reath by Elsc-
tricity at Union College.


Schenectady. N. Y.-Before the eyes
Of his classmates, who were watching
an experiment in which he had voIun-
teered to help. Paul Waite. a junior
and student Of the electrical eng.Leer-
ing course in Union College, was killed
by electricity in the laboratory Of the
college. The class Of which Waite was
member was gathe-ed IN the Iabora-
tory at . O'clock in the afternoon for
the usual lecture. and the instructor
in illustrating his remarks with expert
ments, asked one Of the students to
help him. Waite stepped forward and
helped rig up the apparatus, which was
connected with the nigh tension cleo
trio service of he college.
The students were watching the cleo
trical apparatus curiously, when the
lecturer asked Waite to throw open the
switch. As he did so his body came in
contact with an exposed portion of the
apparatus and 2300 volts passed
through his body. Waite fell to the
floor unconscious, while the students
rushed forward to save Lin. The Leo
turer ran out Of the room and suns
moned medical assistance, bringing
DR. Herbert L. Towne, the physical
director, Il cnce to the laboratory. Re-
suscitaIlon was attempted, and for two
hours the physician and students took
turns in working over Waite. He died
two hours after receiving the electrical
shock.
The college has been thrown into
mourning as a result of the young
mans death. Waite was a prominent
mDer of the Chi Psi fraternity and
was also one of the best athletes in the
college. His home was in Fort Ed
ware. his father being one of the veal
thiest men OF that town.
Word Of the young mans death was
sent to his parents, alG it was learned
here tat his mother became hysteri-
cal Waite had been home the day be-
fore sd Lad left his parents in a.
happy frame OF nina. Before enter
ing tie laboratory he had arranged t3
take rart Ia an athletic tc-rnament,
and he had looked forward to winning
championship honors.
1t was with a laugh that he stepped
forward to help fix up the apparatus
with which the instructor was to illus
trate his lecture The minds of all in
the room were concentrated on the ex-
pertinent which was to be made, and
there was no thought of tragedy.
When Waite suddenly fell to the floor
the students were unable to realize that
anything serious had happened. Most
Of those who rushed forward to help
the fallen man thought that he had
tainted. and when it was realized that
Waite had been killed before their eyes
many tears were shed.
