Against Alcoholic Candies
bJNew Yuk W,G.I.u.
So-eal|ed "Whkkey' Candies
Sold 10 School Children.
A bslsrmIhsd Effort viii be
Made 10 Stop The Traffic.

New York, Sept. 24.-An earnest effort
to ruppress the sale Of alcoholic candies
is to be made in New York.
This much was decided on at the annual
meeting Of the New York County Wo-
mea's Christian Temperance Union yes
terday In the 37th Street NJ. E. church.
Omcials Of the union have known for
some time that the so-called ''whiskey'
candles were being sold In large quaint
ties to school children all over tho coun-
try. and have been preparing to fight the
evil
The initiative was taken by Dr. OAR
lington, commissioner of health, who re-
Gently made public the results Of his in
ves,ikations on this subject He looked
At the question solely from the stand
point Of health and his conclusion was
that the practice was injurious to the
growing children,
These facts were brought to the atten-
ton Of the police department. which has
been making an investigation. The police
take the view that the sale OF alcohol in
any form requires a license. AS the can
dies complained of contain large amount
Of whiskey. the authorities say that both
manufacturerg and retailers Of such con-
fectionery are liable to prosecution and
punishment.
Mrs. Helen J. Andruss. president of the
local w. :. r. u. presented these facts
to the union yesterday. and a resolution
was adopted commencing the stand taken
by the police department and pledglng
the assistance of the union. Detectives
are now at work securing evidence against
manufacturers of the whiskey candies
Officers of the union will then turn this
evidence over to the police. who will use
1t in dealing with the retailers. At an
early date the matter will be presented to
the district attorney and indictments are
hoped for.
1t is reported that several Broadway
shops have been doing a large business
In chocolates. creme de menthe and cara
meis which have heavy filings of Jamaica
rum 1t is also reported that some OF
these houses have suddenly quit selling
these candies

With the new light that was shed
on the business OF Cameron Carrie AZ

fact that the stocks paid for in full
were really purchased on margin, IL
becomes probable that many of the
creditors will give up their claims to

The rise In stock prices during the
past month will not swell the individ-

has been one reason. not openly ex-

has been made by various creditors
to get possession of their individual
stocks. All transactions with Cam

no matter what the stocks realize now

the basis OF what the securities were
worth when the firms doors were

A stipulation has been made be-
