DEFENDS HIS SON.
Charles B. Blanchard Says Boy Ac-
cused Of Stealing Railroad Ticket
Should Be Heard.

Charles B. Blanchard of Fruitland
has come to Santa Fe to see that his
son, Charles, who Is accused of steal
ng railroad ticket from the depot
of the Santa Fe system, Is properly
defended. Young Blanchard was EN-.
ployed at the depot.
In letter to the New Mexican,
Mr., Blanchard says:
Santa Fe, June 27.
To the Editor of New Mexican:
| have just arrived from Fruitland
and am here to investigate my boys
troubles, who has been employed less
than one month as apprentice teleg,
rapher at the Santa Fe station. was
shocked and greatly surprised at the
notice of his trial in the New Mexi-
can and cannot realize that the
charges of appropriating tickets could
be proved against him, as he wrote
me only few days ago that he was
well pleased with his work and that
with close attention to his duties he
did not expect to have to serve his
full term Of apprenticeship, but hoped
to be promoted within few months.
Although my son Is not yet of age,
less than one year out of college
without experience, if | find him
guilty OF such a crime, want him to
be punished, but at this stage of my
investigations, ! fail to find enough
evidence to convict him. The disap.
pearance of tickets from the case
that had not been checked I'D for
over four months is not enough evi-
dence to force me to believe that my
son should be made responsible for
the shortness of tickets that were liza.
Bile to disappear from the case be.
fore his entrance at the station.
In regard to his writing trivial, iok.
ing letters to his Las Vegas friends
from such a place, Offering to furnish
transportation to the City of Mexico
refuse to believe that he meant to
do so and if he did, how could he
accomplish his design without the he,p
of the agent, or without being de.
tected by conductors.
He deserves severe reprimand for
writing such letters, even if they are
written in a Joking mood and his Las
Vegas friend, who has been a trusted
employe of large establishment for
several years declared yesterday that
he did not dream of expecting such
transportation and had no desire of
going to Mexico; that 1t must have
been another joke from Charlie.
My son was not represented at the
justice trial and must have made
poor defense.
CHARLES BLANCHARD.

THOUGHT THROATS
WERE BEING CUT
Operation on New York
School Children is Cause
for Riot.

New York, June 27--The rumor
that children's throats were being cut
in the public schools resulted In such
excitement and panic throughout the
lower East Side today that fifteen
schools with $4,000 pupils were closed.
Operations were performed yester-
lay upon several children for the re-
moval of an adenoids fungus growth
in the back of their throats, and ma
sal cavities. The news spread rap
idly among the Hebrews, who were
led to believe the Russian massacres
were to be repeated in this country.
Threatening crowds of parents sur
rounded the schools and hundreds of
policemen were powerless to restore
order until the classes were dismissed.
