PASSENGER TRAIN
OFF NEAR WARDSBORO
Came In at 11.55 With Two Locomo-
tives, One Going Backwards-De-
layed Yesterday Also.

The southbound passenger train on
the West river branch of the Central
Vermont railroad made six hours bet
ter time today in getting to Brattle
boro than it did yesterday, reaching
here Mt Il.55 Il. m. instead of 80 p.
m. as was the case yesterday.
The trouble this morning was due 10
the passenger train itself getting off
the track near Wardsboro. Yesterday
the fault was with the uphound mixed
train that got off at the Townshend
crossing. The train came in this
noon with one engine headed towards
Brattleboro then a passenger car, an
engine backing up and the ordinary
two ears of the regular train. The
passengers appeared pleased TO be

CLEMONS REMANDED
TO COUNTY JAIL
Sought to Be Released on Writ Of
Habeas Corpus Before Judge Miles
Appeal to Supreme Court.

r. {. Clemons of Putney, who was
arrested some time ago on an action of
trover and was later released on bail
and was re-arrested at Somer-
willie, Mass, January 30 by Sheriff
{. T.. Mann and remanded TO Newfane
Jail because his bondsmen had declined
to act as his bail longer, was brought
before Judge Willard w. Miles at Brat
tleboro this noon on an action Of
habeas corpus brought by Clemons
against Sheriff Mann. Judge Miles re
manded him to jail and III. G. & +. T..
Barber. as attorneys for Clemons en-
tered an appeal to the supreme court.
When Clemons was first arrested and
failed TO arrange for bail, upon agree
ment with John II. Ware of Townshend
and Albert Townshend of Putney. who
brought the original action against him,
he took out an insurance policy for 10
years with the agreement that in the
event the payments upon the policy
were not kept up the case should be
brought to trial. Upon the strength of
this policy and the agreement of l.. II.
i3ugbee. \. NJ. Corser, f. l.. Knight
and George T. Aplin, all of Putney,
went surety for Clemons.
Clemons claims that the agreement
and the insurance policy released him
from liability to the bondsmen so long
as he kept his agreement with regard
70 the payments on the policy, and
upon this and the fact that he was ar
rested in another state on warrant by
sheriff of Vermont, acting As agent for
the bondsmen, he based the writ of
habeas corpus. Myron j. Davis appear
ed for the bondsmen

Sugar Consumption.

Louisiana Planter and Sugar Manu-
facturer: The consumption Of sugar
is constantly increasing in the United
States, and for the year 1913 reached
practically 3,75O,0OO long tons, against
about 100000 the year before. All
the world seems now to be appreci-
ating more and more the nutritive
value OF sugar as foOdstuff. and the
consumption is constantly increasing
and the Increase is rated at over A per
cent per annum. The average DIFF
ference between the price of SO test
raw sugar and fine white granulated,
was O.772 cents pound, against
0.S79 cents a pound in 1912, and O.982
cents pound in 1911.
or this total, 3,75O,O0O tons Of con
sumption in round terms, 1000 900
tons came from Cuba, 100000 tons
from Hawaii, 375,OOO tons from Porto
Rico, and the Philippines; 2O8, 900 tons
or domestic cane sugar, 625, 900 of do
nestle beet sugar, 5000 tons OF maple
sugar, and 10000 tons made from i'm
ported molasses. Practically all of
this sugar was refined, although the
domestic beet sugar is made pure
white in one continuous process from
the beets to the finished white sugar
The great refineries handled all of
this immen5e amount, and seemed
quite willing to give their respective
quota. The American Sugar Refining
company refined 1894 900 tons, or
36.27 per cent, and the other refineries
l,75O,OOO tons, or AS per cent.
These data show the enormous i'm
portance of the sugar industry to the
United States, and in it all Cuba
stands as the dominant factor Cubas
possibilities Of sugar production are
simply immense, and promise steady
increase,

Size Of Womep's Feet

indianapolis News: Some one has
noticed that women in the larger cities
have bigger feet than women have who
i've IN places of less population. This
report Is favorable to indianapolis al
Npresent, but the fear may well be en-
tertained that, as our population in
.creases, the female pedestals here will
expand. This brings up the question
whether the campaign for increased
population should go on, whether the
increase In population and in bust
ness Will be sufficient compensation
for the loss in beautiful ankles and in
dainty feet. The reason given for this
undesirable foot development, with its
accompanying clumsiness, is that it
comes with crowded streets and that
the pedestrienne goes about in throngs
IN constrained way, with her feet
hampered and unable to obtain their
proper movement. She can not put
back her shoulders, swing her arms
and take good, healthy stride, but
must hobble along most awkwardly,
with as littlepoetry Of motion as a
gose on it's way to the pond. 1t was

ing on the ugly feet of the women of
London, cOntrasted with their good
looks. said: "The London womens feet
