Special 10 The Evening Journal.
DOVER. Aug. 1.-THE decision Of
Magistrate Wood that it was not un-
lawful to sell ice-cold lemonade and
ices to tired and thirsty campmeeting
patrons and visitors. had its effect at
Camden Camp on Sunday. The re-
freshment men must have taken the
tip, for they were selling all day to
refresh the heated people who wand
cred about in great companies. The
lemonade was sold. it is claimed. be-
cause the water was not fit to drink
Twenty years ago people came to
Camden camp in ox-carts. peach rigs
and on horseback. To-day there is a
striking contrast. The people came in
automobiles. touring cars and run
abouts. as well as in fine rubber-tired
buggies. with housekeeping horses in
the shafts.

OUR PEACH CROP
5ridseville Man Says Rainy Weather
Has Made the Fruit Imperfect.

"Delaware's peach crop is suffering
from the continued rains of the past
month, and unless there is a period Of
dry weather. and the fruit is given
chance to mature, there viii be heavy
losses to growers in the DIAMOND State"
said a Bridgeville. Del, resident yester-
day.
"All through Kent and Sussex coun-
ties, the peach-growing portion Of the
State" he continued. water IS standing
in ponds in the orchards. The fruit which
is being taken from the trees is very
soggy. and more rain will make the re-
mainder of the years crop even more
imperfect. Prices are fat. too, and the
growers are considering themselves for
tunate TO obtain S5 cents a carrier for
the grade of peach which is being ship
ped.
"A month ago the outlook was most
promising. The trees were laden with
fruit. and on prospects large loans have
been made to the growers. The rains
have played havoc with these prospects.
and it would not be surprising TO hear
in the near future Of the failure Of many
Of the growers down the State"

MURDERER BEGINS
FIGHT FOR LIFE
MORRIS BUCK TO APPEAR IN
COURT TODAY
Trial of Man Who Shot Mrs. Canfield
viii Open With Accused Still
Maintaining His Dog
like Silence

When the prisoner faces court today
the first steps will be taken in the
trial of Morris Buck, who is held in
the county Jail on the charge of muir
dering Mrs. c.. A. Garfield at her home,
500 Alvarado street, January n.
Whether the sudden realization that
he is face to face with death strug-
gle will arouse him from the lethargy
that has overcome him or not Is still
q matter of conjecture.
From the moment of his capture
Buck has maintained a most rigid ST.
lence. He does not answed when
spoken to and often utterly ignores the
presence of those about him. 1t is on
rare occasions that the murderer will
talk. Then his answers are 6scon-
nected and generally Irrelevant to the
subject.
Most of the time Buck broods in
his cell. Prisoners ignore him and
offer the man that they look upon as
doomed no consolation. He is alone.
an outcast among his own.
If there is any material change OF
attitude on the part of Buck 1T VIII
probably be when he has an attorney
Ii is supposed that Judge Smith vii
name the counsel for the murderer
today. The trial will no doubt be car
ried to a speedy conclusion

REFORMS ARE URGED
BY A TURKISH PRINCE
sULTAN'S NEPHEW APPEALS IN
PEASANTS BEHALF
Addresses Letter to Senator Pierre
Berthelot of France-Points Out
Hardships That Are Imposed on
Agriculturists
BY Associated Press.


PARIS, Feb. 4.-Prince Sabaheddine,
a nephew of the sultan Of Turkey and
chief of the Young Turkish party, has
addressed a letter on the subject of the
regeneration of Turkey to Senator
Pierre Berthelot, who recently appealed
to President Roosevelt in behalf of the
ArmenianS. The letter complains that
the revolutions which have torn the
country for many years have been or
ganized by the official agents of GER
tain powers for their own ends, and
points out that while much sympathy
has been given the Armenians, the
Turkish peasants are more to be pitied.
The agriculturists, the prince says. are
all forced to serve in the army and
the women are left to raise enough to
pay the exorbitant taxes. Intelligent
and educated Turks who are trying TO
gain reforms are arbitrarily arrested,
tortured, banished and even murdered.
This persecution, however, has only
strengthened the movement.
The reforms imposed by Europe on
Turkey, the prince says, have accent
uated the troubles. The interests OF
the Armenians and Turks are identical
TIL Kurds, being Mussulmans but not
Turks, ravage both Armenians and
Turks indiscriminately. 1t would be a
great gain, he says, If the Kurds, who
are the finest race, could be attached
to the soil, as their ferocity is the di-
rect result of their present social con-
dition.
The great and imperative reform
Prince Sabaheddine continues, is ad'
ministerative decentralization in the
empire which would permit the indus
trlous inhabitants to exercise effective
control over the management of the
local affairs and take the necessary
measures to maintain permanent order
| and peace.
If Europe and America decided tc
intervene. the latter says in conclusion
they must in justice intervene in favor
of all the victims of the present
regime. besides which Turkey, being the
| link between eastern and Western civ
| ilization, by reforming and bringing hei
into line with modern ideas, 1t would
efface the antagonism of the two civil
izations.

OKLAHOMA MULES WHIP LIONS
Tragedy In Hippodrome Stable to
Which No One Was Invited
Till 1t Was Over
Special to The Herald.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4-Not since the
rheumatic old lion Wallace, by order of
q press agent, made q meal of a big
truck horse, has there been in New
York until last night anything to equal
that memorable performance. The stage
was the stable at 534 West Twenty
eighth street and the actors twenty
mules booked to appear at the hippo
drome in about six weeks, two lions,
a black horse, said to be worth $500,
and three or four cowboys.
w. H. Conway who says he halls
from Ranch 101, Bliss, Okla, told with
a perfectly straight face the details
of blood-freezing encounter in which
the mules, the lions, the cowboys and
mules were being driven about the
training" pit that is in the stable,
passing and repassng two cages con-
tanning two lions each.
Suddenly the lion keeper opened the
door of one of the cages, forgot to
close 1t, and out hoped two kings of
the Jungle. They are exceedingly small
lions about the size of Newfoundland
dogs, although not young. Neverthe-
less they did not know enough to avoid
the business ends of the mules. In a
very few seconds, however, they learned
and with bruised heads turned their
attention to the five-hundred dollar
horse.
That animal stood conveniently by,
so it was easy for the savage beasts 10
spring on his back and chew his neck,
while the horse tore around the pit
Suddenly the horse was dead, and as
suddenly the newspapers were Informed
of the tragedy. When the reporters got
there the horse was still dead; there
was no denying that, and he looked as
IL axes instead of teeth had done the
job.
Conway solemnly asserts that the
mules too might have been killed by
the lions but for the fact that two
cowboys rang down the curtain on the
slaughter by dropping the cage oyer
the lions when they were not looking
and making them prisoners once more

TWEAKS NOSE; is GLAD; FINED
Woman Witness in Divorce Case VIII.

Another's Proboscis


Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-The satisfaction
she derived from tweaking the nose of
Mrs. Ruth Lutz, a witness for Hugh
L. Bradshaw. in the separate mainten-
ance proceedings which his wife had
instituted against him, cost Mrs. Mary
Mackenzie of Chebanse, ILL.,, So fine.
This was fixed by Justice Everett after
Mrs. Mackenzie had been arrested on
charge of assault and battery.
The nose-tweaking episode occurred
in an elevator in the Monadfnock block
after the noon adjournment in Judge
Walkers court.
Mrs. Mackenzie is Bradshaw's
daughter. She had testified for her
mother and followed Mrs. Lutz, Brad
shaw and his attorney, I. j. Franklin,
into the crowded elevator.
"Why don't you mind your own bust
ness?" said Mrs. Mackenzie.
II do. Why don't you mind yours?"
Mrs. Lutz replied.
"This is a family matter and we can
settle it without your aid," cried Mrs.
Mackenzie. I'll teach you not to mix
in our affairs"
At this juncture Mrs. Mackenzie
seized Mrs. Lutz' nose and gave 1t a
sharp twist. The spectators gasped.
An hour later Mrs. Mackenzie was
arrested at her mothers home, 695 Full
ton street, and taken to Justice Ever
ett's court.
Did you tweak this woman's nose?"
asked the magistrate.
IT did, and I'm glad of it," replied
Mrs. Mackenzie. "The satisfaction it
gave me was worth $780,
Justice Everett then imposed the
fine which was promptly paid.

WOMAN BATTLES
WITH BURGLAR
POCKET ELECTRIC LIGHT
AWAKENS HER
Mother and Daughter Fight Intruder,
Who Strikes Down Woman
and Makes His Escape
From House

Mrs. Laura Williamson was struck in
the face and nearly rendered uncon-
sclous by a burglar In her room at 1049
Florida street last evening about 10
o'clock while struggling with the robber
to prevent his escape.
Blinded by the rays Of brilliant
electric pocket light. Mrs Williamson
and her mother, Mrs. L. Turner, were
awakened.
without any thought Of herself the
brave woman leaped from the bed and
grasped the intruder by the coat.
In another instant the burglar and
Mrs. williamson were struggling des-
perately. Though the woman was
slowly being overpowerd by the desper-
ate robber, she suddenly thought of
Help, help; burglar, help" cried
Mrs. williamson.
"Shut UP or I will kill YOU" re-
sponded the burglar.
At this juncture Mrs. Turner arose,
but was too much agitated to be Of any
assistance.
Stuns Her
Seeing that he was about to be forced
into struggle with two, the burglar
wrenched free his right arm from Mrs.
Williamson's grasp and struck her a
stunning blow in the face. Keeling
from the effects of the blow, Mrs. Will
hanson fell back against the bed and
swooned.
When she regained consciousness she
found that the burglar had fled.
Detectives Hawley, Rico and Ritch
were dispatched to the scene of the
affair, but when they arrived they
could find no trace and but little clew
that would lead to the discovery of the
identity of the intruder.
When the police received the tele-
phone message they were told that the
house was surrounded with armed men
and that the burglar was inside. The
officers, however, found no one guard
ing the premises and that the burglar
had escaped.
Searches House
The burglar gained entrance through
a window at the rear of the house. APP
parently at his leisure he searched the
house and rummaged through the first
floor without finding any loot that was
to his liking. Drawers, cases, tables,
desks, sideboards and in fact every
thing had been searched by the robber.
After searching the downstairs, the
thief made his way to the second floor
and entered the room In which Mrs.
williamson and Mrs. Turner were
sleeping Hardly had he entered when
Mrs. Williamson awoke. She made a
lunge for the robber, not realizing who
was throwing the light in her face.
The struggle ensued and lasted only
a few seconds. The noise of the scutfie
and the screams of her daughter awak-
ened Mrs. Turner. AS soon as she be-
came aware that her daughter was
struggling with the burglar she, too at
tenmped to help but before she could
reach the spot the burglar had fled.
