Judge Roche Lenient
On Christmas Morning

Five men arrested on the eve of
Christmas received the benefit of
suspended sentences and fines in the
police court yesterday before Judge
Henry P. Roche. In only one of the
five cases did the judge appear to
consider seriously sentencing one Of
those brought before him. This was
in the case of Michael Bonn, ac-
cused of breaking the kitchen fur
niture at his home with a Ratchet.
He was arrested by Policeman Louis
E. Harper. He tried to tell the judge
that there was no trouble but break
ing the furniture on his part was the
result Of an agreement with his wife
that the pieces were of no further
use.
Judge Roche cut him short by
saying that he knew the man was
lying and he imposed sentence of
50 days In Jail with costs of court
and suspended the sentence, putting
Benn on probation for year.
Dominick Milewski promised to
mend his ways and support his wife
and child and he got off without a
sentence. Jerome Scrogi, accused
Of the same oifense. had his case
continued for two weeks in which
time 1t is expected that the trouble
will be ironed out. Thomas J. Bar
rett, a veteran imbiber. was fined SIS
and this was suspended on his
promise that he reform.

dispatches which state that THE for

Immediately colonized by eager
Portuguese struck, with the beauty of
an island of volcanic origin on which
tropical and luXuriant forests sup
piled the colonists with numerous
kinds of timber. Located in the At
lantic ocean due west of Morocco, its
climate, tempered by a branch OF the
Gulf stream known as tho Canary
branch, rivaled that OF the even then
famed French Riviera.
Madeira Has Not Progressed
For a long period the unusual
resources of the island were neglect
I'd. Despite its luxuriant vegetation
the island at various times has suf-
fered from famine. A certain
amount of prosperity was gained by
the manufacture of Madeira wine but
in 1882 disease almost DESTROYED the
vines, and wine culture never re-
gained its former footing. In re-
cent years Madeira's chief export has
been the delicate embroidery work
done by the Madeiran women.

an approximate population of 25.-
600 people. 1t is especially beloved

tldious of travellers. Each steamer
is met by boys and men who, fear

Madeira Has Its Own Alpine Scenery
The interior of Madeira is al
most all high mountains and deep
ravines. Its picturesque scenery
rivals that of the Alps and the little
island, 81 miles long and IA miles
wide, has mountains more than 5000
feet high.
Although most people refer to
Madeira as long island. it is a
part OF the Archipelago de Madeira,
consisting of five islands: Madeira,
Porto Santo with population of g.
600. and the three uninhabited is
lands, Chao. Deserta Grande and
Bugio. Porto Santo was discovered
by the Portuguese Fargo about 1419.
He and his men lived there for a
wear before visiting Madeira. The

are called. are barren, rocky wastes
