HIGH SCHOOL BOYS ELIGIBLE.
For Registration in Summer Military
Camps in United States.

Washington, ID. G., April ll.--Maj
Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the
ahmy, has sent out to school superin.
tendents all over the country a letter
indorsing the student military instruc-
summer. Abiding to the fact that
these camps have the hearty indorse-
ment of President Wilson and Ex- Pres
ident Taft, as well as leading educators,
Gen. Wood says:
Knowing the benefit of a certain
amount of military training to a nation,
and that in the United States such train
ing can only be obtained by voluntary
effort and that the great majority of
young men are unable to afford this
training, as given in the various mill
tary schools and colleges, the secretary
of war has decided to establish four
students military instruction camps in
the coming summer, to which students
Is years of age or over-members of the
graduating classes at high schools
throughout the country-are eligible to
attend; this at the minimum cost for
food and clothing and transportation.
"These camps are of great value not
only to the students from a physical
and educational standpoint, but to the
nation, in that it spreads among its
citizens considerable amount of sound
military information and increases by
just that much the number of partially
trained men who would be available and
greatly needed in time of emergency"
The camps will be held at Asheville,
N. c.; Burlington, Vt; and Ludington,
Mich, from July 6 to Aug. 7, and at
Monterey, CAL, from June 20 to July 81
The University of Illinois, with Is stu
dents enrolled for the camp at Luding-
ton, leads all other institutions so far.

MEDIEVAL TORTURES
PRACTICED ON WOMEN
One of Baron Camardas Sisters Was
Buried, Exhumed and Beaten
to Death.

| Naples, April I3.--Investigation into
the Incarceration of the two sisters of
Baron Domenico Camarda shows that
the young women were placed in dun
geon in the Camarda castle by the fa-
Their Of the baron, who was arrested last
Friday and that the latter, on his fa-
theirs death, continued the treatment
meted out to the girls because they had
dishonored the family name.
AS told in cable despatch to the
New York Sun Saturday, the girls were
placed in a dungeon in the family castle
| Is years ago and one of them died after
Is years torture, while the other was
found insane a few days ago.
1t appears that Teresina Camarda was
in love with an army officer, and that
their child was killed by the order OF
the barons father. Isobel, the other
sister, also had an illicit love affair, but
the father OF her child is not known.
Both sisters were incarcerated in the
dungeon OF the castle near Mairato and
i'll treated, being supplied with just
enough food to keep them alive.
After the death Of the old Baron Ca.
marda his eldest son, the present baron.
LOON upon MS nHHuE Tine torture OF MS
erring sisters. In this he was abetted
by his brother, Francesca, and his sis
tiers, Antonio and Gracia. 1t is said that
Teresina was finally buried alive in the
dungeon, but was taken out of her grave
while she was alive and beaten to death
by the family. She was then buried in
the cemetery at Mairato.
1t was not until last February that
rumors of the tragedy came to the ears
of the police authorities. When the lat
ter heard about the matter they de-
manded the keys to the castle on threat
that if the keys were refused they
would break down the walls. The po-
lice found Isobel in the dungeon com
pletely nude and looking like skele-
ton. There was at the time some plaus-
IDLE explanation of her condition, be-
cause she was handed over to her rela-
tives with nothing more than severe
reprimand.
The investigating Judge of Monteleone
went to the place afterwards and found
that lsobel had been again placed in
the dungeon. She was taken from the
castle and sent to the hospital Of Girl
falco and the investigation into the |
whole circumstances of the case was be- |
gun. The physicians at the Menteleone
hospital are endeayoring to ascertain |
from the woman in their charge the ORR |
gin of the affair.

LOWER SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.
Where the Roads in Country Districts
Are Poor.

Washington, D. G., April l3.--Census
reports show that in 1909 there were
24,000,000 children in the United States
of school age, but that only l7,500,00O
were enrolled in the public schools. This
would indicate that there are several
million children who are deprived, for
one reason or another, from obtaining
an education, and there is no doubt that
large number of those are prevented
from attending school on account of
bad roads. Furthermore, many schools
in the country districts are closed for
varying periods on account of the i'm
passable condition of the roads, and
many of the schools which are not closed
have nominal percentage of attend
ance.
While it is true that various factors
contribute to increase or decrease the
attendance at schools in given sections
of the country, it is worthy of comment
that in the states having a high per-
centage of improved roads, much larg-
er percentage OF the students enrolled
regularly attend the schools than in the
states having a small percentage of inn
proved roads. In five easter nand west
of improved roads, the average attend
ance of enrolled pupils in l90S-09 was
so per cent; while in four southern
states and one northwestern state which
are noted for bad roads, the average
attendance for the same year was GA
per cent-S0 per cent in the good roads
states as against Ga per cent in the bad
road states. In the states first named,
IS per cent of the roads have been inn
proved, while in the latter group of
states there are only one and half per
cent of the roads improved.
That improved roads would benefit our
country school system, there would seem
to be no doubt. Improved roads make
it possible to consolidate or centralize
the schools and to establish graded
schools in the rural districts. Such

BOSTON BEAUTY SPE-
CIALIST TO VISIT BARRE
F. G. Russell Looks Forward to Large
Crowds During Her Weeks Stay at
The Rexall Store
Will Give Number of Free Facial Mas
sages and Personal Advice in Your
Home by Appointment.

An opportunity which is sure to prove
as beneficial as it is rare will be. afforded
the women of Barre and vicinity, when
Miss Henrietta Lacock, the much talked
/ of beauty specialist, now touring Yer
mont as representative of the United
Drug company of Boston-creators OF
the many Harmony Beauty Requisites
and equally well-known toilet prepare
tions, starts her public demonstrations
for the week commencing Monday, April
20, as the guest of +. G. Russell, pro-
prietor of the Rexall store and sole dis
tributor of the Harmony Toilet Products
in Barre.
Miss Lacock contends that it is the
privilege of every woman to take adj
vantage of anything that will tend to
lend touch of added beauty to the
skin; but. says Miss Lacock, extreme
care should be exercised to choose only
such preparations that really do help
nature in the identifying of your COM
pleXion.
"Of course, no one will question the
assertion that the woman with the
clean, well-preserved skin is a much
admired person anywhere, and, she con-
tinues, "if the woman of to-day would
only take the care to treat the skin to
the benefits of a good massage that she
takes in reading the household section
of the paper. we would see fewer wrin
kles and more, yes, great many more
women young at fifty.
We have no doubt about Miss La
cocks ability to offer the women of
Barre some very valuable advice, and
Mr.. Russell will. we feel sure, have a
store full of the "fairer sex" during
Miss Lacock's stay at The Rexall Store.
Mr.. Russell tells us that he has real
beauty treat in store for the women of
Barre, so you'd better get ready for Miss
Lacoek's arrival, ladies.-Advt.

That on Panama Canal Tolls
Repeal Begins Again
To-day
STRONG MEN
WILL APPEAR
The Mexican Status Still
Worries the State De-
partment

Washington, April I3.--JubIant OPP
ponents of the presidents repeal bill in
the Senate are to have no one-sided pro-
gress before the interoceanfc canal COM
mittee. When hearings begin to-day,
men of great eminenee and authority on
international questions are expected to
testify Chairman 0'Gorman has hand
ed out long list of business organiza-
tions from the Pacific coast, whose rep
resentatives were to appear. This was
regarded a splendid card, but, following
it, came Saturday announcement that
such as ambassadors Choate, Straus
and White had been asked to come There
were several more, practically all OF
whom are counted upon to sustain the
presidents position and give testimony
that warrants the action he has taken.
1t is believed that Secretary Bryan
and Senator Root will be called before
the committee eventually to explain
about the concessions to Colombia, as
written in drafts of treaties permitting
that country to send her ships through
the canal without charge. The whole
subject will undoubtedly be threshed
out thoroughly, so that the facts will be
well before the country when the repeal
bill is brought again before the Senate
for consideration Senator Brandegee of
Connecticut will circulate 6,000 copies of
Senator Lodges speech favoring repeal
among his constituents. Many demands
are being made upon Senator Lodge for
copies of what he said.
The Mexican status continues full of
worries for officials here. The Spanish
is now demanding our good
Offices in behalf of their citizens whom
Gen Villa is driving out of Mexico and
there is strained situation at Tampico
over the arrest of marines. But the
Mexican problem has become serious so
often. without precpitatng crisis, that
no one here feels any great apprehension
that hostilities are threatened.

HUERTA MAKES AMPLE APOLOGY.
Prompt Reputation of Arrest of Marines
at Tampico Thought to Cover Case.


Washington, April l3.-The situation
created here by the arrest of American
marines by Mexican authorities at Tam
pico, was greatly relieved Saturday Will
the receipts OF Gen Huerta's prompt re
pudiation of an apology for the action
forwarded from Mexico City by Charge
'Shaughnessy. While no definite state
ment was obtainabIe in official circles, il
was broadly intimated that the neces.
sary redress had been made.
Reporting developments to the navy
department Rear Admiral Mayo, in com
mand of the American naval force al
Tampico, eabled that he had demanded
that the Mexican commander salute the
American flag in expiation of the affront
lie had given the Mexican officer "a
hours from o'clock Friday evening to
comply. No further message had come
from Admiral Mayo when the depart
nent closed Saturday night.
Admiral Mayo's report was forwarded
to President Wilson at White Sulphur
Springs, W. Va, where he is spending
the Easter holidays.
Officials at the state and navy de-
partments considered the statement
from Huerta full and frank. 1t prom
ised an immediate investigation OF Col.
Hinoiosa's action in arresting the ma
rines and parading them publicly
through the streets, and the official
statement issued by the state depart
ment added that Gen. Huerta had prom
ised that sif the investigation should
show greater responsibility on the
part of Col Hineiosa the penalty APP
plicable to the case win be imposed by
the competent legal authorities"
Gen. Huerta's good faith was accepted,
without reserve, and it was
pointed out that it was only fair to await
the result OF the promised investigation
and discipline OF the Mexican officer re-
sponsible for the humiliation of the
American navy. The navy department
ii was said. has issued no instructions
to Rear Admiral Mayo directing either
the withdrawal or the enforcement of
his demand for salute Officials here
are disposed 10 rely on that officers dis

phatic language, that if the Zion men
never return till they come with doctor s
certificate, he will be dead, rotten and for
gotten, before they ever return.
There is ample proof that Mr.. Finn has
been guilty Of lying, first on one side and
then ON the other; and the only conclusion
honest people can draw, is that Mr.. Finn

Mr. Finn has committed his crime, now
let Zion people leave him to God; and
sooner or later he will be smitten with the
direst judgments, for his conduct in dar-
ing to insult Zion people; and in insulting
them, he has insulted God. He can whine

argument to show that a firm like Mar

and that they are always glad to give pre-
ference to people who do not drink, use
tobacco, or profanity.

maintain every provision in the present

possible way to keep Zion City a clean,
