These are not the flotsam of washed-out orchards. but were deliberately thrown into the river from the great packing houses in the Sespe neighborhocd. The crops are so large that only the best oranges are worth keeping

LITTLE HOPE FOR CASSIE.
Mrs. Chadwick Urgently Seeking
Parole from Prison.


Uncle Sam is turning deaf ear 70 the
frantic appeals Of Cassie Chadwick, the
noted adventures, now serving out ten
years sentence IN the Columbus (Ohio)
Penitentiary.
It has been decided that she is not en-
titled to parole. this being her second
Imprisonment, and she viii not be trans
ferred to a Federal prison.
The Department Of Justice could not
order her transfer TO a Federal prison
if it so desired. because those buildings
have no wings for women prisoners.
Although the woman has fairly driven
the Ohio warden TO distraction by her
complaints and appeals it is not at all
likely that she will even be transferred
10 another State prison.
1t is understood that the next storm
center of the Chadwick disturbance will
be oyster Bay. Her only hope Of being
released from prison before November
25, 1911, rests in President Roosevelt. It
Is not believed the least consideration
would be given 10 an application for COM
mutt ton Of Imprisonment.
