CHANCE TO REFORM IS
GIVEN YOUNG FOOTPADS
Three Richmond Boys Sentenced for
Ho1d-Up, But Justice Wright
Suspends Sentence.

Justice Wright today. taking into con-
sideration the youth of three boys from
Richmond. Va.-Henry NJ. Brooks, Emile
Daoust and John II. Cunningham-con-
victed of holding up two men in Ju-
dietary Square September IL. and the rec
Ommendation of the jury that they be
given the minimum sentence, placed the
boys In the custody of Probation Officer
Porter. The court, after lecturing the
boys, told them he was willing to give
them a chance il there was any inclina-
tien to reform.
Although youthful deviltry and mature
wantonness figured in the attack said
Justice Wright, "the circumstances of the
robbery were such to indicate that if
one OF the men assaulted had not been
drunk and staggering along the street
the boys would not have yielded to the
temptation"
The court singled out Brooks as the
leader and praised Cunningham for ad-
hitting the truth of the transaction
which the others denied He sentenced
Brooks and DaOust to each serve eight
cen months in the penitentiary and Cum
bingham one year and one day in the
same institution.
In suspending sentence Justice Wright
told the boys that this sentence would
follow them throughout the United
states and IL they were ever arrested
anywhere in the Union they would be re-
Quired to serve the imposed sentence
without any further hearing.

Are in Favor of Regulations,
Also Slightly Afraid
of Them.

What will constitute harmful food fer
the various breeds of Goldsmiths animat-
ed nature is occupying the attention OF
the government just now quite as much
as what constitutes q harmless food for
the voting citizens. The board on fungi
cides and insecticides held q meeting yes
terday to draft regulations for. the en-
forcement of the insecticide act. The
committee to draft the regulations Is
composed Of Solicitor McCabe of the De-
partment of Agriculture, Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue r. E. Cabell and
Charles Earle. solicitor Of the Department
of Commerce and Labor.
1t was thought at first that the pure food
and drug act of 1905 would cover insect
cides and fungicides, but the Department
of Justice decided that they were neither
foods nor drugs within the meaning OF
the act, and there was passed at the last
session of Congress q new law similar to
the pure food law covering these prepara-
tons. The manufacturers all over the
country were soiicitous as to the sort OF
forcing the new law. and the meeting In
the bureau of chemistry was designed
to give them q hearing
A Good Law, But
There were manufacturers from all over
the country. All who spoke agreed thai
the new law was a good thing. but some
of them were afraid that, despite their
best efforts. there might be made regula-
tons for the enforcement Of the law with
which they could not comply. Some OF
the entomologists of the Department OF
Agriculture who have been thrown closely
in contact with these preparations say
that only about per cent OF them are
any good at all, and that the remainder
are practically inert
The discussion was OF a very technical
sort, and covered principally paris green
and insect powder. To the 1ayman 1t was
a revelation to find that there were SO
many sorts of insect powder made from
the same thing. The manufacturers ex-
planned in detail that the powders were
all made of a sort of Persian or Dalma-
grades according to the state of the
plant. ranging from cents to 80 cents
a pound.
Good, or Bad, for Mosquitoes.
It was explained that the stems Of the
plant were practically inert as an insect
powder, but If burned would kill mos
quitoes. For that 1t was fine. The chair
man of the regulation committee wanted
to know if 1t would not burn just as well
If the fact it was made of stems were
stated on the label, but Mr.. Woodward,
who was questioned, said he was not sure.
The manufacturers and importers were
reluctant to go into the inside details of
the insect powder trade till r. N. McCor-
mick of Baltimore produced a broker s
price list and showed how many grades
OF the powder were made from the same
plant and at what prices they were sold.
He said that he had made and handled
all sorts in his time and merely wanted
to know what the law would require him
to do.
Among those who spoke at the meeting
were James A. Blanchard, DR.. Leon n.
Adler, Charles N. Woodruff, Benjamin
Hammond and r. N. Mccormick.

WINGED him that the mark on the body
had been caused by a folding of the

that IL was not characteristic Of a scar

stefan at London Hospital and Bromp-

testified that. as a result of three exami-
nations. he had concluded that the dis
puted mark was not q scar.
He had found hair follicles and a seba-
ceous gland within the area Of the So
called scar. The Importance of this
evidence rests on the admission by the
medical experts for the prosecution that
the co-existence of a scar and a seba-
ceous gland was impossible.
This closed the evidence for the de-
Tense.
