SWEATED ORANGES PLACED UNDER BAN Eight Car Loads of Fruit Thus Treated Ordered
 COnfiscated

Chicago, December 20.-"Sweated" oranges, which have been subjected to a high temperature to bring out nat ural color. were placed under the ban today by Federal Judge Landis, who or dered the confiscation of eight carloads of the fruit shipped from California re- gently and seized by the government. The judge indicated that he rendered his decision in the interest of the general consumer who might be deceived by the color of the fruit into thinking it ripe.
 "I have tasted some of this fruit and a good deal of it is pretty poor stuff, '' said the court There is no question that much of it is far removed from what the consumer has right to ex- pect. The expert may not be deceived but for the man whom Congress had ir mind when it passed the act, the inferior ity is concealed"
 The action was brought under the foot and drugs act prohibiting adulteration.
 The fruit will be sold by the authorl ties as an inferior product.

'DONAGHEY DEFENDS
 . HIS RECENT ACTION
Warm in Explanation of PardOning 316 State
 COnvicts

Little Rock, Ark, December 20.-Charac- terzing the Arkansas penitentiary under the lease system as burning seething hell, consuming human beings" who are being fed into it in manner which results in nothing but making fortunes for contractors Gov. George W. Dona ghey today issued lengthy statement in defense of his action last Monday in issuing pardons to 316 state convicts.
 Sharp criticism of the governors ac- ton from state officials and citizens had previously drawn from the executive the statement that "all those who oppose the abolishment of the inhuman convict sys- tenn which we now have in Arkansas are. in my opinion, bound in the direction of that place spoken of by Governor | Blease in connection with the constitu- tion of his state, and it is my belief they are going to land there in spite of every effort of mine to prevent them doing so. ''
 Again the governor was sharply assailed and his statement today followed:
 1 According to newspaper compilation based on the state records. 43 of those pardoned by Governor Donaghey were | convicted of murder or manslaughter, III ! grand larceny four assault. five robbery 19 forgery, 32 burglary, 26 assault to xii
 and 66 of crimes ranging from hog steal | ing to bigamy.

CUBA STIRRED BY
 SHOCKING MURDER
Perry WilkersOn FelIed With
 Axle by a Negro
ROBBERY THE MOTIVE
Negro, After Crime, Attacks Marshal and Flees Up Street Pursued by Angry CrOwd-Body Found
 Riddled With Bullets

Cuba, December 20.-(Special)-One ol
 the most shocking murders ever commit i ted in the country occurred at o'clock
 last night, when a negro assaulted and killed Perry Wilkerson as he was en- terng his front gate, the purpose being
 robbery. After knocking N1r. WillSerson
 down with a buggy axle the desperado
 commenced rifling his pockets and did
 not stop until Mrs. Wilkerson, wife of
 the murdered man, was within four feet
 of him. The murder occurred on the main street of the town with the moon shining
 brightly.
 The deceased was afflicted with rheu-
 natism and was barely able to get from
 his home to his jewelry repair shop, where
 he was able to work well enough when he
 could sit down. He died within about two hours after being knocked down, never regaining consciousness. The screams of Mrs. Wilkerson attracted the attention of Bob Tate, passing home to supper, and he gave chase, following
 the negro for about three blocks, the negro finally eluding him, but was later | captured by another negro, Coly Webb, in front of the home of w. A. Waddell the town clerk.
 i This negro, Coly Webb, was assisting the marshal, A. J. Upchurch, to take the murderer to the calaboose, and there they were soon surrounded by large crowd
 Of citizens, who felt that summary yen-
 geance should be taken. but who offered
 no overt act
 Taking advantage of the crowd the negro sent smashing blow to the cheek and nose of the marshal, succeeding in breaking his nose, and in the crowd ran
 up the street in a northerly direction. The blow was so sudden and the blood spurted in the eye of the marshal so that he could not draw his pistol to shoot.
 This gave the desperado a good lead, but
 he was quickly followed by the posse who shot as they ran, but lost track of the negro, who escaped in thick un- derbrush near the road. This morning his dead body was found near the road the supposition being that shots from the posse took effect while he was elud- ing the officers and his death resulted therefrom.
 The public is quiet this morning and great pleasure is expressed that the mur ueicI ulu ilOl 6tl dWdNt NhilC lht HS5l U Coly Webb, who aided the officers is
 coming in for much praise for his con
 duct in upholding the law. The dead negro was but little known here, having been in the town but a few weeks. He was never known to work, but always seemed to have money and
 the general feeling is that he was the negro responsible for several burglaries | that have occurred in this community. l T.a fbiS off err noon in the town cemetery. where his
 body was followed by a large circle who I deplored his untimely end.
 Officials of the sheriff's department, who came down during the night to aid in l the apprehension of the criminal, re- turned this morning after learning that l the negro was found dead.

 The calendars this year are unusually handsome. They contain F pages besides the cover page and each page contains a reproduction of one of the best Mandy drawings of the past year. Mandy" is one of the best known characters in Alabama and the south and the carrier boys calendar preserves the best of her jokes in a most attractive and artistic form. The calendar is made of heavy, rich cream colored paper and the sketches are printed in deep sepia.
 Thousands of the calendars have been prepared and they have been pronounced a work of art. The pages are held to- gether by heavy silk cord and they will in every way make an attractive fea- ture of any home.

CAN CITY FIX SIZE
 OF LOAF OF BREAD?

Washington, December 20.-The validity of the Chicago city ordinance fixing the size of loaves of bread was argued be- fore the supreme court today. Harry Ru- bends on behalf of Matthias Schmidinger. a baker, convicted of having made a seven-pound loaf when the ordinance limited the size to six pounds, contended that the ordinance was a discrimination against Poles and others of foreign birth, who are accustomed to buying bread in seven pound loaves.
 No one was present to argue for the city. which submitted it's case on printed briefs.
