FATHER PLEADS
 FOR HIS BOYS
Parent of Train Robbers Leaves for Home After Securing Many Names to Petition to the President Praying Clemency

<. Woodson. father of Ernest and Oscar Woodson. the boys who held up and robbed an Arizona Eastern passenger train in May, 1910, left last evening for Tempe.
 The old man is circulating a peti- tion which he will send to the pres ident of the United States in the hope that it may result In a pardon for his boys. who are serving ten year sentence in the government prison at Leavenworth. Kansas.
 Woodson lives in LaKemp Beaver county, Oklahoma. and bears the endorsement of his neighbors and county officials who testify to the character and honesty of the family.
 They were good boys said Wood son yesterday, and never gave me any trouble They did not realize what they were doing when they held up the train. They were only sixteen and seventeen years old and wanted to do something wild and yves .1rn. They never meant to hurt anyone. Their record in the prison is excellent and the prison author ties are helping me all they can to get the pardon.
 T am spending every cent l could rake and scrape together to make this trip and when I get back home will not have money enough to take me to Washington. but l hope the president will hear my prayers, and grant the petition. The boys have been punished enough and We need them to help us in our old age.
 The petition has been quite lib orally signed in Phoenix. Governor Hunt, Judge Baker. Speaker Brad ner, President Cunniff and several members of both house of the leGis- lature being on the list. From Tempe Woodson will go to Tucson. where he hopes to interest others in the case. and from there will return to his hOme and forward the precious document to the white house.

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1912-11-30

The concerted raid on letter boxes in
London last Thursday night, as result
of which thousands of dollars worth OF
property was destroyed and great ineon-
venience was caused many people, has
been laid to the militant woman's suf-
fragists of England. Nowadays many
o deed of violence is laid to the suf-
fragettes of that city, but up to the
present no deed has approached in ma
licious rowd yism the act of pouring
acids, ink and other smearing materials
in the public letter boxes throughout a
wide district of the metropolis, thereby
destroying much mail matter in transit.
We cannot imagine any rabid woman's
suffragists or suffragettes of the United
States doing such contemplate actions
as their English protagonists are charged
with doing. Nothing in the latter's
widening repertoire OF crimes and INSIDE
meanors has so reeked of the slums as
this latest manifestation of the rowdy
spirit. 1t certainly cannot help the
cause of woman's suffrage.

KEEPING UNRIPE FRUIT OFF THE
MARKET.

One effort Of the national department
of agriculture which will meet with the
hearty appreciation of deceived public
is the move to stop the shipment of I'M
ripe fruit, or artifcially "ripened' fruit,
from Florida and California to the CEN
trail distributing points and the subse-
quent sale of such product in the retail
markets. As result of that effort
close watch is being maintained in Bos-
ton, which is the distributing point for
New England. 1t is said that great
quantities of unripe oranges and grape
fruit are being shipped to Boston and
other distributing points, the fruit hav.
ing been picked long before ripe in the
hope of getting greater prices on the
early market, the fruit being subjected
to the sweating process, by which the
exterior of the fruit is colored to repre-
sent the naturally ripened product and
thus to deceive the purchasing public,
which bases its judgment on the appear
ance of the fruit.
That the sweating" process does not

change the interior of the oranges and
grapefruit is asserted with pc ,tiveness
by experts who have conducted investi-
cations. They state that when the I'M
ripe fruit leaves the tree it does not
change in sugar or acid qualities, how
ever much the exterior may become like
unto the ripened product; and, further
more, that the consumption of such i'm
mature fruit is likely to result in serious

pecially of children. Unripe oranges and
grapefruit are like unripe apples; and
those who have eaten unripe apples know
the result, particularly those know it
who recall the experiences of their youth.
Moreover, people who are accustomed to
see apples growing never think of eat
ing the unripe fruit, unless it be
children; and merchants
have not the hardihood to place unripe
apples on the market, because the public
would not buy them. But oranges and
they are not familiar with,
and they do not know when it is arti-
fieially ripened by the sweating proc
ess. Hence there is much reason for the
efforts being put forth under the direc-
ton Of the board of food and drug in
spection at Washington toward driving
unripe fruit off the market. The public

OF the man under arrest at. Buffalo,
telling of the murder of two boys, one
at Lackawanna and the other in New

WIND STORM At KENTON
LEAVES DAMAGE IN WAKE
OFFICE OF FRANK A. JOHNS
CRUSHED BY A FALLING TREE
Big Barn of George Davis, Newly
Built, Blown Twelve Feet From
Foundation.-Othe Damage

Kenton was visited by one of the
severest and most damaging wind
storms on Tuesday evening of last
week that has been experienced in
many years. TIE storm was a part
of the same cyclonic energy that
wreaked such devastation in Phila-
delphia and Camden. In KentOn, the
wind blew a regular hurricane,
trees were uprooted, buildings were
Uproofed or blown from their founda-
tion and for the time being citizens
were terror stricken. The building
occupied by Arthur Griffin, a
merchant. and Magistrate Frank A.
Johns office, and owned by John
P. Walker, was damaged by a fall
ing tree, which completely swiped
in a corner of the building. For
tunately no one was hurt. The
wind also considerably damaged a
stable belonging to John Webster
on the Frank Green property. The
stock fortunately escaped Several
trees in town were either blown
down or shorn of some big limbs.
On the farm of George Davis, a new
stable just nearing completion
was twisted and turned around and
blown twelve feet from it's founda-
tion. With all the damage don't. it
is remarkable that there was not
injury or loss of life. Oldest resi-
dents Of Krnton say the town has
never experienced such a wjndstorm.
The storm seems to have extended
down through the State with more
or less damage about Dover, Milford
and on thu oCgh Sussex County.

lawyers said that whatever action
might be taken in the courts would
begin in Sussex County, where du-
Pont had selected his exact lines and
begun his condemnation. No such.
work had been done by him in Kent
or New Castle. Ridgely added !:
"We hardly know just what proceed
