careful estimates made by local fruit
growers and handlers, the Santa Clara

prunes at the stems, and in some parts
the ground is covered with the un

The local growers foresee a corre

to equalize conditions. Already offers
are from a half cent to a cent higher

James Cumerford, Crook,
Works Quick Change on

ACCOMPLICES WALK
OUT WITH PRISONER
Girl Dressed in White Calls
as Visitor; Exchanges Fin
ery With Pickpocket
OAKLAND. July 20.—James Cumer
ford. alias ("rank White, awaiting trial
on a charge of grand larceny, escaped
from the Alameda county jail at 4
o'clock dressed as a girl, wearing a
white dress and white hat with a big
ostrich plume, which had been worn
into the jail by an accomplice, who
himself escaped by mingling with
other visitors to the prisoners.
Cumerford. who is of slender build,
coolly walked past Jailer Eugene Sta
chler to liberty, holding the arm of an
other accomr/Jice of the prisoner.
Just a few minutes later Stachler
discovered the escape. But Cumerford
and his friends had completely van
ished.
Stachler's story of the escape Is as
follows:
"Owing to Jailer Samuel Yander
voorl being called out on office busi
ness, T was alone In the jail from 2
o'clock to nearly 4,:30. About 5:45
o'clock, a couple came to the jail and
asked to see Cgmerford. As we know
him here as White, I looked at them
questioningly. The fellow corrected him
self and said they wanted to see Frank
White.
"T notJc#Slf* tha'- i've »g-tr! appeared
rather stout for her height and was
coarse of feature. I tet them into the
Inner corridor, where several persons
were talking to prisoners, and let out
White or Cumerford to see them. The
upstairs bell rang and I went to
answer it. I was gone possibly five
minutes. *
VISITORS WKRE WAITING
"When T went down again, this girl
and her escort, with several other per
sons were waiting to be let out. The
prisoners were grouped at the other
end. T noticed a young fellow among
the group, whom I could r not place.
But he was well dressed and T thought
he must have come in with an earlier
batch of visitors. T let them out and
then went back to lock up the prison
ers. Then it was I discovered Cumer
ford was gone. T ran out into the
street, but they had vanished.
"The girl of the couple who came
to see him was evidently a young man
wearing the white dress and hat.
While I was gone, the three evidently
walked to a corner of a corridor and
there made the rjuhk change. Tt is
possible some of the Other visitors were
also friends of the prisoner and aided
in the escape."
< I HKRPORD HAS RECORD

HPT. JOHN LOWRY
DIES BY OWN HAND
Veteran River Pilot, De
spondent Over Health,
Ends Life
Captain John Lowry is dead by his
own hand.
The veteran navigator, who was
known to the pioneers of the '50's, and
to practically every river and seafar
ing man in San Francisco, took his life
at the family residence. 1007 Fillmore
street, early yesterday, while his wife
and daughters were asleep.
Despondent over ill health and con
tinually suffering from heart trouble.
Lowry, who was 68 years old, walked
into the bathroom and severed his
jugular vein with a razor. His body
was found about an hour later.
Since the '50's Captain Lowry has
piloted boats up and down the Sacra
mento river. Of late years he was in
command of the San Joaquin of the
Sacramento Transportation company's
line. Tear after year Captain Lowry
steamed up and down the Sacramento
until he became one of the most famil
iar figures between the two cities. He
numbered his friends by the score.
Because of his almost faultless rec
ord and perfect familiarity with the
river, he was selected to pilot the tor
pedo boats of the United States navy
to Sacramento during the visit of the
fleet to San Francisco in 1906. For this
service he was personally congratu
lated and rewarded by the command
ant of the fleet.
Captain Lowry dug gold from the
hills of Placer county as early as 1850.
He has been identified with the water
front of San Francisco since he was in
his teens and watched it grow from a
few straggling wharves to its present
great proportions.
The veteran was stricken with heart
trouble about two months ago, and
since then he had been on leave of
absence. '

Bulgaria also sent delegates to meet
the Servian and Greek and presumably
the Roumanian representatives at/Nish
to negotiate an armistice and peace.
It is confirmed from Athens that
Ser?ia. Greece and Montenegro arc
ready to participate in these negotia
tions. Turkey, however, has introduced
a new complication and notified the
European powers of her intention to
make the River Maritza the new fron
tier, giving as her reasons that she a!
ways has claimed this frontier, but
that the powers set the claim aside in
order to facilitate and expedite peace,
that the porte would be prepared to
settle the question by diplomatic means,
tut that the atrocities and vandalism of
the Bulgarians in the occupied terri
tories make it impossible to hope for
settlement, and that new
conditions arising from the last Wmr
between the allies make It doubly
necessary for Turkey to obtain a fron
tier guaranteeing safety to Constan
tinople and the Dardanelles.
Tlie porte promises not to cross the
new .Maritza riser and asks the pow

to secure durable relations between
Turkey and Bulgaria.
It is not considered likely, however,
that Europe will permit the decisions
of the London conference thus to be
