WOODRUFF SUIT
STILL ON TRIAL
Mother and Daughter the Real Parties
in the Case-Plaintiff Had Not
Rested at Noon Recess.

Interesting law points have been
raised in the case now being tried be-
fore Judge Harland HI. Howe in the
United States court here, but the case
is too involved to warrant using news
paper space for a detailed report. 1t is
taking more time than was expected,
but it may be completed this afternoon.
The case is that of Mrs. Genevra w.
Woodruff of New York against Oscar A.
Woodruff, the Vermont National bank
and Peoples National bank of Brattle-
boro and Charles G. Staples, trustee for.
the banks, and Mrs. Woodruff, seeks to
have returned to her a mortgage for
$4,000 which the banks bold as cola
teral security for loans to the Vermont
Last Block Co. of this town. She al
leges that the mortgage, which she held
against certain New York real estate,
was secured from Ter fraudulently and
without consideration.
1t has been brought out in testimony
that the suit is really against Mrs.
Woodruff S daughter who is putting up
the money for the defense, and that the
banks have no special interest in it. This
came out in an agreement between the
interested parties, that was not gen.
orally known about until the hearing
started.
The defendant, o. A. Woodruff, who
was president of the Vermont Last
Block Co, has died recently His wild
ow is the daughter of the plaintiff
On the witness stand yesterday Mrs.
Genevra Woodruff, the plaintiff, who is
said to have owned property at one time
worth half million dollars, said that
her daughter was not on good terms
with her because the mother sued the
| daughter s husband, subsequent to the
bankruptcy of the Vermont Last Block
| Co. She said she had been a fool not to
look after her business more carefully
instead of intrusting it to others. When
asked by Judge Howe if she was a
woman of means she answered: 81 was
at that time
Cashier Charles G. Staples of the Yer.
mont National bank was on the witness
stand all day Tuesday and until yester-
day afternoon. Mrs. Woodruff followed
him and finished her testimony at {
| o clock. This morning Cashier John R
Ryder of the Peoples National bank was
the first witness, followed by Attorney
! Orrin B. Hughes, TIE trustee who solo
| the last block factory for the bankrupt
estate. The plaintiff had not finished
when Mr.. Hughes completed his testi
mony this noon.

ITALIAN MOBS SEIZE
FOOD AND SELL 1T
Forh Rioters Refrain from Personal
Looting and Offer Stock
to Public.

FORLT, Italy, July 3 (Associated Press.
After a great meeting here Tuesday, in
which vast crowd protested against the
high cost of living, the people, excited
by inflammatory speeches, attacked,
sacked and destroyed many shops which
refused to sell commodities at lower pric-
cs
Soon the fury of the mob made no dis
tinction and had no limits. All the prin-
cipal shops were plundered and the mobs
controlled the entire city. They took pos
session of trucks and transported all
kinds of goods and food supplies from
the pillaged shops to the chamber of la
bor On the walls of this chamber they
wrote: ''These goods are at the disposal
Of the people,
The situation grew worse during the
day, assuming a revolutionary character
and the mob continued to loot and des-
troy all kinds of property
The food riots here. however, differ fun
damentally from those at Spezia early in
June. At Spezia the rioters looted for
their own advantage, while at Forh most
of what was taken from the shops was
transferred to the care of the muncipali-
ty or the chamber of labor, to be dis
tributed to the people or sold at low pric-
es
The value of the goods stored by the
municipality was estimated at $4,000
lire, (sl SOC, ,000) The proprietors of those
shops which escaped sacking brought their
keys to the municipality, which is com
posed of Socialists and Republicans, and
they ordered that the shops be reopened
and the goods sold for half price, under
the supervision of representatives of the
demonstrating masses
Despite this apparent return to order
in the riotous movement, the losses are
enormous, owing to the destruction Of
shop fittings and commodities which could
not be easily transported, such as gaso
Ene, which was burned in great quaint
/ ties.

WANTS TO GIVE
UP THE RAILROADS
President Will Tackle the Question at
Once-No Decision on Increasing
Rates.

WASHINGTON, July 3-President
Wilson will give immediate attention to
the railroad problem facing the country
lpon his return to the United States
Monday He will hold an early confer
enc with Director General Hines, and it
is probable he will make additional recon-
mendations to congress.
The President, it is learned, has not
changed his view and determination with
respect to the necessity for early return
Of the roads to private management No
further efforts to obtain a five-year gov
ernment control are to be made, and the
roads will be returned by December /,
or sooner.
DirectorGeneral Hines has no special
recommendations to lay before the Pres
ident, but 1t is understood that he will
discuss every phase of the railroad prob
lem and the developments of the last
few months, concerning financial and traf-
hc conditions.
Close study of the rate question is be-
ing made by the railroad administration,
and a comparatively early and definite
decision for or against an increase in
freight rates is likely. The railroads of
the country are not earning the guaran-
teed return under the existing scale of
rates, but a slow improvement in net rev
enue is being shown Officials expect
the crop moving period and the increas-
ing coal demands to make it clear wheth-
er volume of traffic will increase suffi-
GENTLY to make the railroads self-sus-
tanning, and place them on the same
basis of earnings as they were before
the government took them over.
The July figures will show the first
effects of crop moving and increased coal
demands, but the period of heavy traffic
will not set in until August and Septem-
Der. Until the results on revenues OF
this traffic are apparent DrectorIGeneral
Hines will not definitely commit himself
on the rate increase question
