TOTS STUPEFIED BY LIQUOR
Girls Drained Whisky
BottIes-one Is in Critical
Condition

Special to The Herald.
BROOKLYN, N. Y, May 1.-TWO
7-year-old girls, left alone in the apart
ments of Alexander Reed, from which
had just departed funeral procession
at which their parents were mourners,
got hold Of a number of bottles OF
whisky and wine and drained them OF
their contents. When their parents
returned the children were found lying
on the floor insensible and in dan
gerouS condition.
The children were Bella McLain of
227 India street and Rose Murray or 226
India street. who had been left alone
in the Reed apartments at 224 india
street. The wife of Mr.. Reed died on
wednesday. At the wake Thursday
night and all day Friday the mourners
were served with whisky. All of the
liuuor had not been used and num-
ber of bottles, partly filled, were left
on the kitchen table when the funeral
procession left for Calvary cemetery:
The children were playing IN the
front room. One went to the kitchen
and got hold of one of the bottles. She
tasted it's contents, then drank con-
siderable amount. The other child dld
the same. The McLain child seemed 10
like the taste much better than the
Murphy child did and she continued TO
drink the liquor. Soon both became
intoxicated and fell on the kitchen
floor. When the mourners returned
about o'clock they found both chill
dren stretched on the kitchen floor.
The Murphy child was soon revived,
but the McLain girl could not be
brought to consciousness. An amDu,
lance from the williamsburg hospital
was called and Ambulance Surgeon
Rarich diagnosed the case as one or
alcoholic coma. The child resisted his
efforts to resuscitate her and was
taken In serious condition 10 tne
hospital. The Murphy child was able
to go home.

HIS FRENCH A BIT FAULTY

certain university professor went
to Europe some years ago upon a
French liner. He was almost the only
passenger who could not speak French
fluently. AS many others the professor
became seasick. Seasickness is the
disease which makes you think you are
going to die and don't kill you. After a.
severe attack the professor was recov-
ering. mastering all the French then
at his command he asked the waiter
whom he summoned to his berth to
give him "a plate of soup and a chack-
err" The waiter with look of horror,
threw up his hands and left the state
room. He tried another with the same
result. Finally he tried the steward.
The latter listened patiently, shook his
head, then paused, nodded and after
a few minutes returned with the plate
of soup and the cracker"
Some days afterward, walking on the
deck, the professor asked a friend
what had caused CONSERVATION among
the walters at so simple a request.
'Wha did you say?"
The professor repeated his book
learned French
His friend laughed heartily.
Why the walters must have thought
that you, in delirlum following seasick-
ness, wished to commit suicide. The
word you used for cracker meant fire
cracker or bomb. ."-Columbia Herald.

prohlbitionists. that II absolute pro-
hibition accomplished so much for san
francisco during this period, why not
continue II for all timer
A proper question, and one easily
answered. Prohibition In San Fran
cisco has been enforced at the point
Of the bayonet. The time is rapidly
coming when It cannot be enforced
Prohibition is dream. A splendid
and beautiful dream, no doubt, but
still a dream. The only sane thing to
do. while the opportunity is present,
IL to seize the situation and fix the
license so high that regulation Of the
traffic will be possible. Under a sys-
tern of regulation the saloon influence
can be vastly minlmized. And that's
the course which San Francisco pro-
poses to pursue.

BASIC CAUSE OF CRIME

An incidental result of the San Fran
cisco calamity affords a subject for
deep thought in all American COM
munities. That is the radical change
wrought by destruction of the liquor
traffic. Before the calamity San Fran
cisco was known as the most wide
open" city on the continent in re-
spect to liquor selling. 1t was also
known as city nearly or quite un-
paralleled for the natural results of
such freedom in the liquor trade-vice,
immortality and crime.
But note the change as pointed out
now by the better element of the San
Francisco press. Since the calamity,
says the Chronicle, "the city has been
absolutely free from disorder and vir-
tually free from crimes of violence.
There have been no street brawls, no
drunken brute has beaten his wife, no
gamblers have murdered one another
in low resorts. Except for some deal
ings with sneak thieves the occupa-
ton of the police courts is gone"
solely TO the rigorous enforcement, un-
der military discipline, of orders pro-
hibiting the sale of liquors. And this
situation In San Francisco is brought
out in bolder relief by contrast with
Oakland, the sister city across the bay,
that always has sharply criticised San
Francisco's bad habits. Alluding to
the present peaceful situation in the
big city, the Chronicle says: I'VE are
promised continuance of this peace
full condition for a considerable time
to come, save only as drunken men
may drift over from Oakland, where
the authorities have been so reckless
as to allow saloons to open" And
then the suggestive conclusion, I'VE
may be compelled to renew the quar-
antine against Oakland"
1t is an obvious lesson that this ex-
perience of San Francisco teaches to
other cities The extent of vice, crime
and attendant evils in a community
depends, in great measure, upon the
degree of restraint upon the sale OF
intoxicants. On this point the Chronicle
goes to the length of alluding to the
marvellous change noted as an "abso-
lutte demonstration that the saloons are
responsible for all crimes of violence" ("
Upon that basis the Chronicle demands
that whenever the saloons shall be
allowed to reopen in this city, their
license fees be fixed at a rate which
will support the police department"
The saloon license fee in San Fran
cisco was 81 a month-$s4 year-prlor
TO the calamity. That is but little more
than 10 per cent of the cost to Los
Angeles saloon keepers. In the last
election the question OF increasing the
license tax on saloons was submitted
TO the voters OF San Francisco, and
was promptly voted down.
It Will be urged by our friends, the

Los ANGELES, May 12.-Tt is now
time for the women Of Los Angeles to
form a trust so strong that they will be
able to put every divorce attorney out
OF business.
There has been much discussion Of
late Of the divorce question in Los An
geles. believe / have remedy. If
properly administered, that would do
away with the so-called plague.
Let tho women of this city form a
combination, so that every idea but
home and happiness will for time be
put aside. We must make our homes
a haven of rest, not a place merely to
eat and sleep. The greatest mistake
we make is to think that when n man
marries he must earn the home and
furnish all the good cheer and kindness
necessary to make and keep a happv
home. The cases are few and far be-
tween. where II the wife tried as hard
to please as the sweetheart did. she
could not always have things her way.
For instance, would she when her lover
was expected to lunch or dine wait
until he came and say:
John, wish you would go out and
get bread meat, pie, cake, pickles.
cheese" and whatever is needed to
complete the meal?
No. indeed; as a lover he would come
to find the daintiest of meals prepared
for him. Such comforts, without doubt.
caused him to take a step farther Do
you think he would appreciate such
comforts less as a husband than as a,
lover?
When man marries he wants a
home, for nowadays it cannot be said
he marries to reduce expenses.
We must also remember that we are
not without faults. have heard many
a wife rehearse the faults of her hus-
band for the benefit of the public but
very seldom, If ever, remember hearing
about her own faults. Ones faults are
another's virtues. We must bear and
forbear and learn to see ourselves as
others see us.
Many will say, "Oh, such trifes
amount to nothing" but the tiniest
match may light a fire to destroy our
city.
Do not wait for something great to
happen Commence at once with the
Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-13

material you have at hand and note
results.
We must remember that our hus-
bands must go TO their business, let It
be what It may, at given hour and
remain there until the duties of the
day are over. or course we have our
duties also to perform, but there Is
never a time when we cannot rest or
dress and go out. We have all day to
straighten out the tangle Of our house
hold affairs. Would It not he better to
meet our husbands with a smile and
make our homes so comfortable and
happy that they will feel they can take
off their hats and coats and don their
smoking jackets and slippers and enjoy
every moment they have at home? DO
not tell every dlsagreeable and unpleas-
ant thing that has taken place. Forget
these things and see how much pleas
anter your evenings will be.
As usual thing the husband con-
ceals from his wife the worries of his
business, that he may have something
pltdSduL W say Cdh VIC bV iSSS bldNS
than he?
Let us form a trust, meet and confer
with each other as to the ways Of
making every home in this city so
happy that the divorce Judge will have
to hang out the sign, Nothing doing
today"
Make our homes so happy that our
husbands will be proud to say to their
friends: Come and see me in my home
do not have to go to saloons or else
where to find enjoyment and happi-
ness"
We hear men talk Of reform and tell
what they can do. But we, if we un-
derstand human nature at all, know
If the women of this city would form
such trust they could overcome crime
and put every police judge out of busi-
ness.
There Is no better place to commence
such reform, that will last after the
excitement is over, than in the home.
We could win a sweeping victory
that would be a revelation, to go down
in the pages of history never to be
forgotten. Do not delay. Every day
adds one more to the past, never to re-
turn. Let us make start and the rest
will be so easy we will wonder why we
delayed so long. VIRGINIA OTIS.
