HEAVY CROP SHIPMENTS.
Good Demand Has Kept Prices of
Garden Stuffs High.

Shipment of truck crops and fruit
this season, despite the shortage of
cars and railroad labor trouble, have
been in excess OF 100000 cars. the
Department of Agriculture announces.
The total is almost the same as the one
for the corresponding period last year
The good demand however, has
kept the prices high this season, with
the exception of onions, which have
been plantiful and comparatively
cheap. Potato prices slowly are
working down, it was stated, but still
are twice as high as for this period
last year. Tomato shipments are
heavier than last year, while peaches,
coming mainly from Georgia, are
slightly higher than at this time last
year.
The Washington market is flooded
with nearby vegetable products from
Maryland and Virginia truck farms,
with prices for everything practically
the same as they were this time last
year. Prices may go lower it is
stated, and then will begin an up
ward climb as the season advances
and the crop is exhausted

Prince Henry Attacked by Riotous
Gang and Then Locked Up
in Jail.

Press s).-An almost incredible story
of the i'll treatment of the former Ger
man emperors brother, Prince Henry
of Prussia, by a riotous gang of field
laborers is told by the Ost Pruessische
Ieitung, which asserts that it had the
information direct from Prince Hen
rvs family circle.
According to the informant, some
time ago a gang of sixty men. led by
a private in hussar's uniform and
wearing a big red rosette. invaded the
Hemmelmark estate, Prince Henrys S
Schleswig Holstein country seat on
the pretext of searching for hidden
arms. The invaders turned the place
inside out, but found no arms. Then
the leader said to the prince:
Come, Henry" whereupon Prince
Henry was made to run the gantlet.
suffering innumerable kicks and
blows. Afterward he was locked up
in jail at Berckensferde, where he
was tortured nightly. He was awak-
ened every ten minutes with: Get
up. Henry: turn on the light. Lie
down, Henry" amid jeers and insults
from his captors.
Many other Schleswig- -Holstein land
owners have been the victims or as
sault and i'll treatment by armed
gangs.
