REDUCED RATES
GOOD NEWS TO ALL OF THE
FLORIDA SHIPPERS

that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission bad ordered a substantial
reduction in the freight rates on
oranges and pineapples shipped all

with good deal of pleasure by re-
ceivers here. The order for the re-
duction was the result of the COM
plant filed by the Florida Fruit &
Vegetable Shippers Protective AS
ISOLATION early in the year. In
this complaint the Association al
legged that the rates on Florida
oranges to the eastern markets
were excessive and did not allow
of competition with California
fruit which was hauled much
longer distance at a rate which was
relatively lower The Interstate
Commerce Commission in its de-
cision which was handed down at
Washington last Monday held that
rates on oranges from Florida to
New York. Baltimore, Philadelphia
and other points were excessive
and the Atlantic Coast Line, PEN
nsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio and
other roads were ordered to reduce
them Sept. rs.
The Commission held that the
rates from Florida shipping points
to the basing points in Florida,
which are Jacksonville and Gaines
vile, were not excessive, but or
dered that after Sept, Is the max

New York would be 46c, to Bal

and to Boston Sic. This is a re-
duction Of NC box on shipments
to the first three cities and &c on
shipments to Boston. The Com
mission further held that the rail
and water rates were not excessive.
This reduction applies to carlot

they welcome the reduction. About

YOUTH
HAS HIS MOTHER
SENT TO PRISON
Remains Unmoved, Despite His
Parents Pleas for Mercy
in Court.

The unusual spectacle of a son pre-
ferring a charge of disorderly conduct
against his mother was presented in
the Second Precinct Court today. when
Mary Kane, aged 40 years and residing
South Orange avenue and Bergen
street, was sentenced to serve sixty
days / IN the penitentiary.
In his complaint the son, Philip Kane,
who is 20 years of age and who resides
with an aunt al 1859 Norfolk street.

mother since he was three years Of
During the last few years, he
said, his mother had pestered him by
calling at his home whenever she be-
came intoxicated, and that her conduct
at 8 a. n. today was more than no
could endure. He said hat every eff
fort had been made to persuade her to
leave the house, but all proved I'M
awaiting and he was compelled to call
in the police of the Fifth Precinct. The
arrest was made by Policeman Ptckel.
When arraigned before Judge Herr
the woman begged her son TO be lenient
with her, assuring him and the court
that 1t would not happen again, but

there was nothing left for Judge Herr

CHILDREN FOLLOW
LITTLE MOTHER TO

Fourteen-year-old Julia Radice
Took Care of Her Father and
Family Three Years.

A large number of the children of the
South Canal street Fairgrounds attend
ed the funeral Of Julia Radice, IA years
old. of s. River street. who was known
to the neighborhood as the little
mother" She kept house for her father
since her mother died more than three
years ago.
1t fell to her lot to look after a
younger sister and brother, and right
well 1t is said hat she carried on the
work where her mother left off.
Although her household duties took
up considerable of her time, she found
a few minutes every day to be at the
Fairgrounds. For some time past 1t
was seen that her health was failing,
and Their she ceased to appear at the
grounds at all. and Thursday morning
word was received at the Fairgrounds
that she was dead.
The children took up a collection for
flowers, bu upon investigation found
that the money could be used to better
advantage, by purchasing coal for the
family, and an order vas given to a
local coal dealer, instead of a florist.

SEES BURGLAR
IN ROOM WHEN
SHE AWAKENS
Mrs. E. j. Vessels, of Orange,
Watches Him as He Hunts
for Loot.

Awakened by the noise of a prowler
in her home at 6 a. m. today Mrs. E.
J.. Vessels, of Is Hillyer street, Orange,
saw a man enter the room where she
and her husband were sleeping and try
to steal q gold watch and chain dang
ling from Mr.. Wessels's waistcoat.
Thinking at first that 1t was her son
Mrs. Vessels when first aroused made
no outcry, but as the form crouched
and moved stealthily to the chair upon
which the waistcoat hung she saw the
man was a stranger, and then she
screamed.
The thief apparently figured he had
only a woman" to deal with until
Mrs. Vessels and her husband sprang
from the bed. Then the burglar turned
and darling downstairs took an over
ccat worth $50 from a C and, dis
carding his own outer garment. jumped
from the rear stoop aAd escaped.
Raising a window. Mrs. Vessels
called for help, and Policeman Samuel
Graham, who was nearby, ran to the
house, but he failed to locate the thief,
although he made an exhaustive search.
The roDber had evidently run through
back yards in q direction away from
Policeman Graham and, emerging on a
side street. got away with the over
coat.
The members of the household made
a quick inventory OF their effects and
found that nothing was missing but the
coat, the property Of c.. e. Vessels,
Mrs. Vessels son. In the pocket were
q pair Of gloves and other articles, but
nothing OF particular value.
The garment left behind by the thief
is seedy, and briars on the cheap
cloth of which the coat is made indi-
cate that the man had slept in the
woodq. There were also In it a dirty
white handkerchief and. a piece of tow
cling.
There is no evidence that an entrance
was forced, but the mar apparently en-
tered and left by the rear itchen door.
Mrs. Vessels said her maid declared
she had locked the door last night.
