Good Prospects
for Fruit Crop
on Both Coasts
Big Yield in East And West Will
Largely Offset Shortage in
Central States.
WASHINGTON, June 10Splendld pros
pects for fruit In New England and the
Pacific ooast states almost counterbalance
the poor showing of the central states.
where early frost got In telling work, ac
cording to a report made public by the
Department of Agriculture on general crop
growth.
The condition of the apple crop Is re
ported to be more than eight points below
last year, or 63.0 aa compared with a nor
mal condition. The ten-year average for
apples Is 69.8. In New England and on the
Pacific coaat the crop promises to be Im
mense, but in such big apple states as
Ohio and Missouri there will be only one-
third of a crop.
On the other hand, the peach crop, due
to the excellent prospects in such states as
New Jersey and Delaware, promises to be
larger than last year, the condition on June
1, being 62.0 aa compared with M l last
year and a ten-year average of 65.0. The
central states will produce a poor crop, it
appears now.
Frost evidently nipped the briar blos
soms, for the condition of blackberries waa
estimated at 80.0 aa compared with 80.0 last
year and for the last four years.
Raspberries were estimated at 79.2 as com
pared with 8S.4 last year and 82.1 the four-
year average.
The watermelon and the canteloupe crops
will be slightly off. It appears, as the
former was estimated at 77.40 as compared
with 81.S a year ago and the latter 77.8
as compared with 81.8 a year ago.
Sugar cane was reported at 84.7 as com
pared with 60.8, and sugar beots at 80.6
aa compared with 83.0.

Eli PASO, Tex., June 10 Since early
today possea have been scouring the desert
between Carrlzozo and tho mountains in
search of the lone bandit who held up an
El Paso & Southwestern passenger tr.iln
last night at Robsart, N. M., near Carti
ioio. That the man la an old hand at the
game, and probably a desperado who will
put up a hard battle before allowing him
self to be taken. Is believed from the man
ner In which he carried off the daring
holdup. Members of the posses are pre
pared to shoot on sight. ,
I .a st night's holdup Is one of the 'most
daring in the history of train robberies.
The bandit, after covering the Pullman
conductor and the brakeman with his gun
and compelling them to atop tha train
drove the occupants of tha touring sleeper
Into a private car at the rear of the train
where he forced them to turn over their
money and valuables. Upon taking hla
departure he fired a volley, shooting out
the rear lights of the train. His plunder,
It Is roughly estimated, will run intp sev
eral thousand dollars.
Two hundred and seventeen dollars In
cash, a diamond ring aud several other
trinkets were all that rewarded the robber.
The railroad today refunded to tho robbed
passengers all the money taken from them
and at the tame time offered a reward of
J2.600 for the capture of tlie robber.

five submarines to cost 12,500,000 and six
torpedo boat destroyers, to cost $750,000
each.

tleship may be built by one contractor and
that' one of the battleships must be con
structed in a government navy yard was
agreed to by a vote of 113 to 63.
This action was taken In fact of opposi
tion by Chairman Foos of the committee
on naval affairs, who insisted tha it would
add a couple of million dollars to the cost
of construction of a single battleship.'
Advocates of the provision claimed that
better work could be obtained in a navy
yard and that auch work would keep
skilled men in readiness for construction
and repair work in emergencies.

Bryan On Sumptuary Legislation
I have heard people say they w ere opposed to sumptuary legisla

me about sumptuary legislation now I want him to define what he
means by it. They hare been usi ng these general terms long enough.
Mr. Bryan at Washington Hall. May 17, 1910.
Lincoln, Neb. , Oct . 1 1 , 1889.
Dear Sir and Friend:
Your favor j us t received . I expect to
attend the convention at Omaha and am glad
that, you are going. I will try and leave
here at once, so that we can get together
and talk over platform before the conven
tion. I have no doubt we will acree on tar:
iff opinions, but I have been in much trou
ble over the temperance plank. I, like you
and the great bulk of the party, am opposed
o prohibition, but thought that as the re
publicans took no stand on prohibition we
had better content ourselves with a decla
ration against sumptuary legislation, such
as we usually have. . .
We have a number of men who will vote
for the amendment , among them Sawyer, Snell,
Miller , Whitmore , etc., etc. They do not ask
us to declare in favor of prohibition, but
simply do as the republicans have done
leave it to each individual to vote as he
likes. By declaring against prohibition We
will lose'a, good many votes, while we will
not gain " republican votes. Wetried last
fall in our country; declared in so many
words against prohibition, and the saloons
went solid against us.
I wish I could see you before the con
vention. Can't you come up here Tuesday
morning and go from here to Omaha, and we
can disouss all of the planks? Will draw up
the plank you suggest.
Yours truly,
(Signed) W. J . Bryan.

i
MEXICO HAS SPY SYSTEM HERE
DrSara Charges that lie Has lleen
Arrested Five Times in United
States on Trumped 111
Charares.
WASHINGTON, June 10. A dramatic tale
of enforced flight from Mexico and , of
alleged persecution by American and Mexi
can officers In this country was related
to the rules committee of the house today
by L. De Lara, a political refugee.
After recounting his experience ln Los
Angeles, Cal., where ha Bald he was ar
rested tlv times on "trumped up" charges
at the Instance of the Mexican government
and served more than 100 days ln Jail, De
Lara exclaimed:
"I have been In Jail five times since I
came to the United States and have suf
fered the 'third degree' at the hands of
officers; I have been thrown Into a dungeun
and kept for days with nothing to eat but
a rotten potato, and neither my attorneys
nor friends allowed to see me. I am .liable
to be arrested again at any time and unless
you gentlemen help me, they may get me
and hang me."
De Lara denounced President Dias aa a
"dirty ' despot," who had destroyed free
speech, free press and tha right of ballot
In that country.
"More than 40,000 people have met violent
deaths for political reasons since Dlas took
the reins of government In Mexico," said
De Lara. "Ha never waa elected president
Ha never was chosen president by votes of
the people,, but has maintained himself by
force. The Mexican government haa caused
thousands of persons to be killed because
they resisted the existing order of things
In that country and sought to restore to the
poor people the rights that were taken from
them by force."
De Lara related Incidents tending to sup
port the charge that the government of
Mexico was using a system' of espionage ln
the United States over political refugees.
De Lara told how he himself. In order to
learn what his government was doing ln
that direction, had accepted employment
as a "spy" in Los Angeles to trace the
movements of other refugees. He said he
resigned sfter four days.
De Lara said there were orders In Mexico
to shoot him because of his political actlvl
ties. He told how he had been thrown Into
Jail In Mexico, but had been released as a
result of a misunderstanding. He said he
had escsped tg this country through the
assistance of blends.
