ROUSING SEND.OFF
Given College Boys ON Their Departur,
for Plattsburgh Saturday.


President Benton. several members of
the faculty and a large number OF univer-
sty students were at the dock Saturday
to give rousing send-off to the Vermont
boys who were leaving for the Plattsburgh
training camp for reserve officers. Strange
to say. there as almost an entire alb
sence of the usual feminine contingent
at any farewell gathering. and apparently
most of the good-byes had been said at
home. A last hand-clasp. a CHEEKY word
and the boys boarded tho Ticonderoga.
After giving several Vermont cheers, the
crowd left the dock and went up the hill.
But the boat didn't go. No indeed. 1t
was fnlly an hour and half after the
usual. time for leaving, that the Ticonder-
oga pulled out Of the harbor. The delay
was caused by various reasons. one OF
which was that large amount Of lumber
consigned to the training camp had to be
taken aboard. Sunshine, rain and hail
alternated during the trip. When the
men reached Plattsburgh At 1874. most OF
them were afraid they wouldn't get any
thing to eat at the camp. so sustched a
hasty lunch before leaving the town. They
were required to report at the camp be-
fore two O'Clock and most of those who
went by boat arrived just In the nick Of
time.
In addition to the University of Vermont
contingent. a good sized delegation from
Norwich University, number Of Yale
men. including F., Vaughn Burgess OF this
city and Richard Greene of ST. Adams,
son of Congressman Frank l.. Greene,
with many other students. representing a
large number Of New England colleges,
were In the number which left Burlington

CAISE PAYS A FINE.
Third Ward Alderman Settles for IL
legal Sale Of Liquor.

The case against Alderman Charles
Caise. who some time ago pleaded guilty
in city court to selling Intoxicating liquor
contrary to the laws of the State of Yer
mont, was disposed of Saturday, when
he was sentenced to pay fine of $50
and costs of sS.S5, which amount he paid.
The case had been continued for sentence
several times.
The case against Mr.. Caise. who was
arrested on a warrant issued by Clarence
II. White during his term as city grand
juror. was an uncommon one His arrest
followed testimony which he gave in city
court when Latouf Bessery. Battery
street storekeeper. was being tried for
violation of his probation. Besserys
mother testified that liquor found in
rooms over her sons store when both the
store and living rooms were raided for
Intoxicating liquor was her property. She
admitted that she sold liquor to keep her
self in clothes and the like, and testified
that Caisc. the man who sold il to her.
came for her orders. delivered the liquor
and collected the money Caise was called
as witness in the Bessery case and SUBJ
Stimulated the story told by Mrs. Bes-
sery. City Crane Juror White. who
was in the court room, was asked by the
court if this procedure in the sale OF in
toxcating liquor was lawful and gave it
as his opinion that it was not. After
looking up the law the warrant was issued
against Caise for violation of section SOS
\ of the Public Statutes. A warrant was
also issued against Joseph Rosenberg. by
whom Caise was employed at the time of
the sale. charging violation of SOS OF the
Public Statutes, which case was nolle
pressed,
Section sos, upon which Caise was con-
victed, reads as follows:
! "A person who for himself, or as agent.
takes or solicits orders for the sale of in
toxicating liquors. except from licensees.
shall be imprisoned not more than six
months nor less than three months. or
fined not more than $500 nor less than
500"

was seized in a vise-like grip. His cour-
age failed him utterly. He gave vent to
piercing scream, but the only answer
was the echo from the four walls OF the

away. His effort was useless. The moist
warm thing that first had but touched

Secretary of Agricul- ture Houston has appealed to the farm CTS everywhere to devote a greater acre. age to crops that make something to eat than ever they did, so that the United States may feed the armies of the world as well as their own folks, and the agents of the federal government in what is known as agricultural extension work in Mississippi are wonderfully busy urging the necessity of greater food crops in spite of the promise of a high price for cotton There are more than 50 such agents in this state, and they have been going from place to place, holding mass meetings. making addresses, telling how to make two blades of grass and two ears of corn grow where but one was grown before, and they have aroused a great deal of interest.

The night before the day set for his execution his friends fooled the guards, opened the Port Gibson jail doors and set him at liberty Large rewards were offered and every effort made to recapture him, but he remained in hiding until a year ago when he walked in the governors office and surrendered The death sentence that had been hanging over him for 10 years was commuted to life imprisonment. and he was sent to the state farm. Immediately his friends got busy with petitions for his pardon and have never let up. Strong counter petitions were filed, but they were fi- nally turned down and Began released
