Sultan Fears Massacre.

Berlin, Nov. 6.-The Turkish gov ernment intimated to the German for eign office that if the Bulgarians en- ter Constantinople it will be impossi- ble to prevent an nti-Christian upris- ing, it was stated on semi-official au- thority here.
 The sultan therefore renewed his appeal to the kaiser to use his lnfu- ence with the Balkan allies to agree to an armistice.
 Bulgarian troops have now occupied Bulk, on the Saloniki-Constantinople railroad, and this, with the possession of Neurskop, finally cuts communica- ton between the Turkish army in Macedonia and the Turkish garrison of Adrianople.
 The Turkish troops attacked the Bulgarian left flank at Bunarhissar, but the Bulgarians repulsed the at tack, putting the Turks to flight and capturing five of their officers and 1900 men, in addition to a qutck-hring battery.

putte Mont, Nov. 6.-After Gov. ,srein l. Norris and his party in an antomobile had been attacked on their
 ar to Democratic meeting and the american flag had been torn down and m cursed and the perpetrator of tba outrage beaten by mob, 5000 Dersons joined here at o'clock Tues dov morning in a rousing demonstra- tiou for the national emblem.
 The indignties heaped upon the governor occurred early in the even- ing as he was passing a crowd listen- ing to the appeals of Socialist ora tor With him in the machine were T l. Walsh, Democratic candidate for Tinted States senator, and sam ". stewart, Democratic candidate for governor. Some of the men broke the windshield of the car and bits of glass flew over the occupants, infict- ing wounds on Walshs face.
 Fists were thrust in the faces of the governor and Stewart and half a dozen men seized the wheels of the car, but the chauffeur, by throwing on the power, tore the automobile from their grasp and it sped on to the Auditorium, where the governor spoke.
 Sheriff John ORourke seized one man in the act of throwing a rock at the automobile.
 The tearing down and cursing of the American flag occurred at a street meeting of the Democrats and the man who did it was pursued by an enraged mob. Police reserves were called out 10 arrest him to save him from further violence after he had been severely beaten.

100 STUDENTS ON STRIKE
"No Bread With One FishbaiP' Causes Trouble at University
 Dining Room.

St. Louis, Nov. 6.-About 100 Wash ington university students, who have been taking their meals regularly at the university dining room, have at last come into more complete appre- citation of the tragedy in that famous old college song about we don't serve bread with one fishball." Be- cause they no longer get bread and butter with fishballs and because the prices have gone up and the amount of food has been decreased, the stu dents have adopted the English sui fragette plan of hunger strike" and are refusing to eat at the dining room.
 The noble and hungry hundred re- fused to renew their meal tickets for the week and declared they would rather subsist on roots and herbs, so to speak, than pay the dining rooms prices.

Constantinople, Nov. 6.--None of the powers has yet replied to the porte's request for mediation. The reluctance of the European govern ments to intervene is attributed to the implied hostility of the Balkan states to any such step, and none of the powers seems anxious to be the first to precipitate crisis.

he was here some time ago. He found it necessary to provide that certain funds should not be applied on inn provement, but must be used only for operation. It is a nice decision, some times, that distinguishes strictly be- tween operation and improvement And it was on that question that much dis cussion waged yesterday. But that is just one example of the subjects that must be threshed out before a con- plete system of cooperative rules can be laid down for the department of maintenance and operation.
 MT. Newell talked about the various phases of the work, and outlined some of the requirements of men working in the department which is being dis cussed He also touched upon the function of agricultural colleges in a farming community.
 The argument even applied itself to actuaitieS such as water measurement. It will be decided in the Monday meet ing just what is the fairest method of doing this important part of project work Forms of reports also received no little attention from the director.
 Professor R. H. Forbes of the Uni versity of Arizona spoke on the work of the college which educates the far mer to do his work in scientific way. and also added his word about men for the places of project administrators. Those who were present are F. H. Newell, l. C. Hill, c. H. Fitch, H. S. Reed, R. H. Forbes of the University of Arizona, Engineers Huff and Carberry of the Imperial project, Messrs.

there are over 100 dozen good solid lettuce plants to the acre. The crop has already been contracted for by Walter Hill company which makes the sale sure Furthermore the com mission men in the city are all clam bring for lettuce and among them figure on sending out of Phoenix in the next few months from three car loads a week to three a day of let tuce alone. Not all that goes in these cars will be contract supplies, but some will be bought as it is offered.
 Mori will get 15c d dozen for his lettuce. The plants as before mant- toned will grow 400 dozen to the acre returning to the prduCer an even $60. It will take Mori and all the others N no have planted to lettuce ia pre- paration for this shipping just about 70 days of work and 70 days use of their land to make that $60. There is no question about it, that sum of money is a good return for that length of time, always considering the conditions that arise to make the planting and care of the crop diff ficult and expensive. Exclusive of labor, which is the highest factor in figuring on the cost, the expense of raising crop of fifteen acres in let tuce is exceptionally low.
 But the production of one crop of lettuce. made ready to take ad- vantage of strong demand at a time when other sections are not able to supply the market, is not the main argument for truck garden ing The fact that the stunt just mentioned in reference to lettuce can be duplicated and repeated several times in the course of d year on other crops that have their seasons of strong and less strong demand is the real object of interest to students of scientific farming. In this warm climate it is not the crop that de- mands a year to mature and which cannot be rotated which makes the money It is the lowly vegetable like lettuce, which can be rushed through it's growing and preparing process in time to get the cream of the the demand in countries where the SUD- ply is automatically cut off at some season of the year when the Salt river valley can easily step in and make good
 The Mori tract is not all in let tuce. As fine field of celery as could be desired is one of the cares of the four men who do the farm ing. and the beauty of it is they do not have to attend so closely to the celery now while the lettuce crop is needing the most care.

 Land here is sure to increase in values There is no refuting that But what is the way to take ad- vantage of this increase? Surely not by letting water taxes, water | assessments and operating charges consume the increase, Every bit oi

TWENTY ACRES
 IF VEGETABLES
Handsome Lettuce Patch of o. Mori on Maricopa Canal Shows Over 400 Hardy Plants to Acre of Ground

Why should the Salt river valley import truck stuff, vegetables, eggs. and butter from California. Kansas or any other locality? That is a quest iCn that has introduded upon more than one inhabitant of this valley in the last six months. As an example of what can be done here to cut 6own the amount of outside stuff that is shipped in, here are some facts, testified to by well known men and further proven by the fields themselves. which are raising the actual crops.
 Truck gardening in the valley of the Salt is being carried on by sev- eral different kinds of men, some of them farmers (and there are few enough of them) but for the most part men who do nothing else but try to supply the city trade and a certain portion of that found in the country. Of the latter many are Japanese, and one Of them is O. Mori, who has twenty acres under the MaricQpa canal. As an example of how land can be made to support five men, pay all it's carrying charges and return a handsome profit, Morris farm is q gem.
 Possibly the most important crop that is occupying the attention of the farmers on the Mori tract is lettuce And lettuce is the crop that is going to bring in a neat sum for less than three months of work and use of the land. At the present time the leaves are just showing nice ly above the ground. so that the farmers have been able to go through the field and pick out the weak plants, leaving the hardy ones well separated and showing through the soil. The fields are planted method cially, which represents an immense amount of work as the total of land in this crop approaches fifteen acres. The plants are set two to the foot, in the row and there is a space of two feet between rows. leaving plenty of room to operate among the fields. Incidentally, the water can be used more economically by this system.

 WAS ACQU|TTAL
There Was Clapping of Hands ill Jury Room
 When Quick Agreement Was Reached as to Inno-
 cence of J. B. Alexander

Not Guilty was the verdict of the jury yesterday afternoon in the case of James B. Alexander on trial in United States court on the first of six inslict- ments charging him with defrauding the government by asking for the ap- proval of fraudulent or fictitious claims while Indian agent at Sacaton in 1910.
 This ending of the case had seemed the only one from the beginning of the trial The evidence had all been put in before adjournment the night before and the morning session was consumed by the arguments, Assistant United States Attorney J. C. Forrest opening for the government He was followed bv Judge Baker for the defense and he by Captain J. l.. B. Alexander, a broth CT of the defendant. United States Attorney Morrison closed for the gov ernment
 Judge Sloan's instructions contained a review of the proceedings and was interpreted as being favorable to the
 defendant. The case was submitted to the jury at about half past twelve. The deliberations of the jury were not be-
 gun until after lunch and then they
 were DTlel.
 Evidently only one ballot was taken for about two o'clock an unprecedented
 clapping of hands was heard in the jury room. That was regarded as a
 signal of an enthusiastic acquittal Within few minutes cou-t was con- vened and the jury was brought in. The verdict was announced and the jury was discharged for the term. Captain Alexander suggested that something be done in the matter of the s5,000 bond under which the de- fendant had been placed after the finding of the indictments. He did not ask for the discharge of the bond but the court said that as matter of form he would suggest bond of 5000 pending action on the remaining in dictments No objection was offered by MT Morrison.
 In th.s indictment; Roberts and Landis former employees at the agency had been included. The dismissal of 1t as to them would follow said the court by operation of law.
 A severence had been granted as to | the defendant and Roberts but the latter will not be. brought to trial.

MY MISSION,

was longing for a mission.
 Fancy made it something grand Something that would win the
 praises
 Of the world on every hand. So I squandered time in waiting For the chance that never came Quite forgot to think of others = In my longing after fame But one day I had vision
 Of the needy ones near by Of the hearts that starve with
 hunger
 Till they faint and fall, and die. Starve for little deeds of kindness, Or word of hope and cheer. And the smiles that cost so little But can make it heaven here. Then it was l found my mission Knew what work God meant for t@ me. And 1 cried Forgive my blindness, Now. at last. thank God, I see!" And my heart, that had been selfish In it's longing to be great Saw great. fields of labor waiting . For me just outside my gate. So I seek to scatter sunshine
 In dark and cheerless place. Loving words have given courage. Smiles have cheered the fearful
 face. In the joy of helping others
 Gods good time I waste no more Since my life has found it's mission Waiting at the very door -F,hen F RcNford in the Christian Herald

There are five more indictments against this defendant and they all went over to the next term of the court but it is not likely that the defendant will be trial on them.
 This case against the defendant was regarded as the strongest one though very early in the trial it became ap- parent that it was extremely weak. There were thirty counts in the in iictment each relating to a check that had been issued in the name of an h. dian for service performed for the gov ernment or for supplies furnished it. It was contended that in many cases the checks had been issued without any consideration and that in others the consideration was inadequate.
 The fraudulant appearance of all these transactions were explained away in the course of the trial Many of the counts were dismissed on the motion of the government. and one of them in fact, before the beginning of the trial
 One remarkable feature of the trial was the absence of bitternes between counsel for the government and defense notwithstanding it was fought vigor- ously and skillfully by both sides

Maintenance and Operation of Projects to Be Dis cussed at Monday Confer ence; Preparations Made Yesterday

Preliminary to the conference here Monday afternoon of Director r. H. Newell of the reclamation service witf the members of the operation and maintenance departments of a number of large American projects, the director yesterday held a conference of prepar- ation with some of those who belong to the local and Imperial units The talk lasted nearly all afternoon; for there were lots of subjects to be dis cussed relative to the problems that confront project administrators. All the discussion was preparatory to the drawing of some broad general rules, when the final meeting takes place next Monday.
 MT. Newell is now on tour of the projects of the United States. He has visited a number of them already, and there remain some yet to be inspected. As Phoenix is handy to a large part of the work. the Monday conference was called here. Engineers will come here to get their ideas sifted and settled. They will take away with them more generally coordinated idea Tn reference to the plan of operation and mainte- nance.
 One of the interesting subjects was this: Where does maintenance end and betterment begin? That as is well known here is one of the things on which Secretary Fisher touched when
