Woodland Guilty
SecOndDegreeMurder
Penalty Can Not be More thai2o
Years imprisonment Verdict
Great Surprise.


When court covened at Meadville,
Pa, last Friday morning in the Frank
Woodland case, Attorney G. p. Ray OF
counsel for the defense announced
that the defense had no evidence to
offer, but submitted to the court a
list Of legal points on which he asked
the court to charge the jury.
First, that first degree verdict
could not be returned unless the jury
was assured that Woodland fired the
fatal shot; second, McGrath's ante
mortem statement showed that the
fatal wound was not received while
the defendant was actually engaged
In commission of felony, but while
the defendant was trying to escape
some time after. Attorney Ray
pointed out also that the fatal bullet
fitted the pistol Of Frank Major al
ready executed for this crime.
Ex-Judge Henderson answered these
points for the commonwealth, enter
Ing a general denial OF their accuracy.
Judge Henderson summed up the case
for the prosecution. He emphasized
the points that the defendant and his
companions, heavily armed, had
threatened TO kill Chief Of Police Nc
Grath should he appear on the scene:
that they we're banded together to
commit robbery and that the officers
arrived while the robbery was being
committed.
Attorney Ray made the plea for the
defense. He declared that when the
police arrived the defendant and his
comrades were having a good time
drinking with the inmates of Bertha
Blooms house, and were not COM
hitting felony: the officers appeared
in citizens clothes and were not rec
ognized as officers: IL is not known or
charged that Woodlands bullet killed
McGrath. Mr. Ray said that the evil
dence as to Woodlands escape did not
show that he seemed alarmed or
averse TO meeting people, rs would
have been the case had he been MUIR
derer. Mr.. Ray appealed to the Jury
not to take the life Of the prisoner,
an unfortunate man whom the force
of circumstances had placed in his
present position.
After the noon recess Judge +. j.
Thomas charged the jury, giving a
very fair, impartial exposition Of the
points concerned. The jury retired at
3:O5 p M, and about l p. m. Saturday
returned verdict of guilty in the
second degree. Twenty years is the
extreme limit that may be imposed
under this verdict.
Judge Thomas called the court to
-order and the prisoner was brought
In. He was as usual, closely guarded,
sand in spite OF an attempt to keep up
"a brave appearance was very nervous.
The verdict of second degree was read
and created great surprise. The evil
Sdence in both the Frank Major case
and this was almost identical, yetMa-
jor was hanged.
There were three other charges, two
of robbery and one OF burglary. The
first two counts we're not considered,
as they we're included in the indict-
ment. Woodland pleaded guilty to the
last charge of statutory burglary in
the second degree, which has maxi
mum penalty of four years additional.
The prisoner was remanded to jail

Some Railroaa statiatics.

From the annual report Of the
secretary Of internal affairs on rail-
roads in this state we gnther some
figures which seem Incredible and
almost beyond comprehension. The
total steam railway capitalization is
over SO, Os6, 600, 600, an increase of
over SOL, 600, 900 from the previous
year: The total capital outstanding
for the United States was about
s11, 500, GOO, 600. There are over
1913 600 miles of railway in the
United States, and of this amount
10, 697 miles are within the limits of
Pennsylvania. Illinois leads, but we
are a close second. Over 1000, 600
persons are employed to manage
and conduct the affairs of railways
in the United States and nearly
1886, 600 in this state. The railways
of this state carried last year
216, ,6O3, ,74s passengers, an increase
of over per cent. over the previous
year, and the receipts from them
were nearly $119, 900, 600. But when
it comes to freight the figures are
enormous, the number of tons of all
kinds being AIS, ,6s4, ,7s3, or the
number of tons carried over one
mile being over 1000, OOO 600. The
total revenue from this was nearly
S35l, 900, 600, not including amounts
received in the way of transporta-
tion of mails, express, etc Com
bining the receipts the total received
by the railways reporting to
the department. was more than
1894, 600, 600 OF the passengers
carried SO were killed and 1,7sO in
jured; of employees, 9s7 we're killed
and Is, 456 injured of other per
sons, 2,0O7 killed and 1901 injured

". V. Davenport rather quickly

other reason why the roadway
should be made wider. There is
need for bed sufficiently wide, be-

ly, for two vehicles to pass without
either going in the side gutter AS
it is now there are many places
where considerable risk of over
turning must be taken to pass
teams. The highway below here,
too, needs attention of this kind
Automobiles are likely to become
more numerous and the road should
be so widened and cut out that
short turns would not prevent see-
ing a little distance ahead. Judi
cious working would soon bring
about such a state and the necessity
for it is becoming greater each year.

There is no doubt that the major
ity of the house committee on ways
and means IS opposed to granting
any concessions to Cuba, neverthe-
less the knowledge that the senate
is sure to do so may serve to induce
the leaders in the house to take
some such action rather than per-
nit the senate to overrule its deci-
sion and take the initiative in so i'm
portant a matter. Judge Page Nor
ris Of Minnesota has, however, for
mulated plan for granting the nee
essary relief to Cuba which is COM
mlnding unusual attention from the
members of the house and which he
believes will meet all the demands
of the president and at the same
time avoid the danger to the beet
sugar interests which might result
from straight reduction of 25 per
cent. on raw Cuban sugar Speak
ing on the subject yesterday Judge
Morris said "My bill is intended to
obviate the difficulties which have
seemed inevitab able if we accept either
horn of tho dilemma 1t only deals
with the sugar problem, which
seems to me the most important
its chief provision is an increase Of
the duty on raw sugar, 90 degrees
proof, from 16S5 to 1.s44 cents a
pound, accompanied by a rebate to
to be paid to the Cuban planters of
33% per cent. This would in my
Judgment divide the burden of re-
lief to Cuba between the whole peo-
pie and the rehners, or in other
words the sugar trust It would
mean a slight increase in the cost to
consumers, but only a slight one,
and the balance would be paid by
the trust figure that the increase
of duty would result in an increase
of revenue from sugar duties Of
about S. 900. 600, one-half of which
we would return the Cuban plant
ers. I think that quite possibly this
arrangement ought to be made only
temporarily, say for two years, as
that would be long enough to tide
the Cubans over their present diff.
culties and give them a good finan-
cial start

The serious illness of young Theo-
dore Roosevelt is a matter which
will compel the sympathy and
anxiety of every true American.
Mrs. Roosevelt left Washington on
Friday afternoon to be with her
son, after having recalled the invi-
tations to a tea witch had been
planned for this afternoon, and the
presidents plans are all in abey-
ance pending the receipt of definite
news in regard to the condition of
his eldest boy. The story that
young Roosevelt started the custom
of going hatless at his college at
Groton has been widely circulated
and to it has been attributed his
present illness. AS a matter of fact
the custom was inaugurated at
Groton long before young Roosevelt
first entered there and was probably
adopted in imitation of the famous
"Blue coat boys" of Christ college,
London, who have never seemed to
suffer from the habit.
