Indianapolis, March lone of the
worst evils connected with the little
stores near the school buildings of the
city is the temptation offered to the
small children to cultivate dishonesty
in order to have money to patronize
the stores at recess period or the noon
hour.
Several cases where children have
taken money from the mothers purse
or stolen street car tickets and sold
them in order to, obtain pennies to buy
candy have been reported to the office
and the means adopted by many of the
children in order to have a penny to
spend is doing a great injury to the
children and cultivating the kind Of
character out of which criminals are
made
This is the way President Loomis Of
the Children's Aid Society sums up the
evils attached to the growing en-
croachment of the little shops in the
neighborhood of the schoolhouses who
depend on the pennies of the children
for support and who are charged with
selling poisonous candies and ciga-
rettes and tobacco to children.
One keeper on East Tenth street in
vestigated Friday afternoon pleaded
ignorance of the law, and said that he
never sold to minors himself, but that
his son sold tobacco on Saturday when
he worked in the store. He promised
to quit selling to the boys. Mrs. Hell
en- Pape, 514 E. Ray street, became in
dignant when approached by Miss
Thayer. who is making the investiga-
lions for the Children's Aid society.
and stated that she would sell to
whomsoever she wished. The woman
admitted that the boys of the Garfield
school had been buying large quanti-
ty of cigarettes from her store. but
after hearing the law read and explain
ed, promised to refrain from selling to
the boys.
MANY of the teachers and parents
from the various schools who are in
terested in the movement to regulate
the kind of goods handled by the stores
located and depending on the chill
dren's patronage for existence, are ad-
vocating a plan which they will pre-
sent to the board of public safety and
Mayor Shank. They will ask for a
detail of two officers from the police

HOLLY AND WIFE
LEGALLY wooded
But He viii Be Prosecuted on
the Charge of Desert
ing Family
WOMAN TELLS ODD STORY
HER HUSBAND, AFTER BIRTH OF
FIRST CHILD, TOLD HER MAR
RAGE WAS ILLEGAL AND SHE
BELIEVED HIM.

1t Is announced today that Walter
Holly a former local man and rail
road employe, was legally married to
Rosa NJ. Manford, also former resi-
dent of this city, who, twelve years ago
left Richmond with Holly to make
their home in indianapolis.
1t was announced in the Palladium
yesterday that Mrs. Holly, who was
under the impression that she was not
legally married, filed a charge of child
desertion against the man. Further
particulars in the case are set forth
in an article appearing in the Indian
apolis Star, this morning, which is as
follows:
Thought 1t Was Legal.
After living as Walter Holly's wife
for twelve years and raising a family
of three children, Rosa M. Manford. a
former Richmond Und.) girl has told
the police a story of misplaced love
and trust and has caused Holly's ar
rest.
Twelve years ago, according to the
with her people in Richmond, Ind. Hol-
ly was railroad man there and he
proposed. she says, to bring her to In
dianapolis and marry her. She con-
scented and they slipped quietly away
one night and came to this city. The
following day ceremony, supposed by
the girl to be legal marriage, was
conducted in the county clerks office.
The newly married" couple rented a
house and the young wife, then II
years old. lived happily for year.
After the birth of her first child, lit
tie boy, she says her husband" came
to her and laughingly informed her
that they were not married.
Says She Pleaded With Him.
She pleaded with Holly to marry
her, but he refused, she asserts, and
in the course of time another child,
girl, was born. In 1902 she prevailed
upon him to get marriage license,
she says. They have it yet, as he re-
fused, she says, to use it. The woman
said nothing to people outside of her
home concerning her affairs, but tried
it is alleged. to get Holly to marry
her. This, it is asserted, he would
not do, and Jan. IA of this year he is
said to have deserted her. She says
he told her that he was leaving, never
to return.
A day spr two ago he returned and
wanted to marry the woman he had
lived with twelve years. but she had
changed her mind. She notified the
police and Holly was arrested by HUI
name Officer Merrill and charged with
deserving and neglecting his children.
Marriage Held Legal.
Officer Merrill said yesterday that
the man could not be held on the
charge placed against him by Rosa
Manford because, under the common
law. their marriage is legal. Holly will
answer the charge of desertion and
neglect before Judge Stubs in Juve-
nile Court at 8 o'clock this morning.
The Holly family. as they were
known to their neighbors. lived at 1896
Roosevelt avenue for several years.
The three children are Arlo, years
old: Lillian, 6 years old. and Mary, 2
years old.

Fred c. Lahrman, who was made de-
PENDANT in a receivership action by his
former partner in the shoe business,
]. Will Cunningham. has effected an
arrangement with Mr.. Cunningham,
whereby Mr.. Lahrman obtains posses

The receivership action was with
drawn by Mr.. Cunningham yesterday
afternoon. 1nasmuch as the firm was
solvent. there was doubt in many
minds as to the success of the receiver
ship action, since it was contested by
one Of the firm members.
The new firm will continue in oper-

THE COST OF DRUNKENNESS.

On merely economic grounds Mr..
Bailey Is. Burritt. of the State Charities
Aid Association. makes a strong case
against present waSteful methods Of
dealing with inebriateS and i'll favor Of
a special provision 10y the city for their
treatment. Mr.. Rurritt shows that in
the male alcoholic ward at Bellevue
Hospital 1866 persons were admitted
from May, 1908, Ia May, 1909. and sos
persons were treated. The cost of the
treatment of inebriates at the hospital
for the year was more than $4,000, of
which more than $1,000 was spent on
persons treated more than once in the
year-that is TO say. upon those who
were probably habitual drunkards.
Nor was this by any means all the
cost Of incbriates 10 the city. In the
same year 1886 men We're committed
10 the workhouSe for drunkenness, of
whom 40 We're committed four or more
times each Mr. Burritt's pamphlet
gives the record of several cases OF
habitual drunkenness. Ane man has
been arrested Sixty-two times since 1889
and has spent :5.033 days in the work
house The cost of his maintenance
while under arrest is put down at more
than $1,000.
At present ii is the practice 10 send
such cases Of habitual drunkenness to
the workhouse for only few days at a
time. The punishment is no deterrent,
and it certainly offers no hope of cure.
Incessant arrests block the magistrates
courts. Under the bill which the State
Charities Aid Association is promoting
at Albany it would be possible TO send
habitual offenders TO d home for an in
determinate period Of not less than one
or more than three years. Moreover, the
habitual offe"der is not the only one
who would be more tittingly dealt with
IL this bill became a law. The cases Of
first offenders might be disposed Of with
out bringing them into court, as is now
done in some cities. Those who had
graduated from this class but had not
yet become habitual offenders might be
watched by probation officers. In gen
eral. there would be an adequate system
of handling inebriety as it should be
handled, and probably without increas-
ing the cost 10 the public. The benefits
that would result from the passage Of
the act and the provision of a home for
drunkards by the city would undoubt-
edly be great

THE STORAGE OF EGGS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: rhirty-six million eggs in cold
storage! This announcement seems I" be
sufficient to call for a leading editor1ai IN
all the daily papers. As a matter or fact'
this amount Of eggs was exceeded In tVo
DAYS receipts of fresh eggs last Apr1l IN
the New York market The opinion ap-
pears to be general that these eggs were
placed in storage to force up the price
am producer Of and dealer III eggs
in a small way, and know something OF the
workings of the egg trade At present, ana
most of the year. all our eggs are sent into
market twice each week and sold 10 retail
dealers and private customers at current
Tribune ouotatious Later, the last Of
March or April. these customers cannot use
all the eggs our fifteen thousand hens pro
duce So when the price gets low enough
to warrant, our surplus eggs are put in
storage
This season at one time when We were
billing fancy fresh at IS cents a dozen, We
were selling fancy storage at IS cents, the
one kind just as good the other for most
purposes. and We making as much on one
kind as the other.
Years ago eggs were picked for carrying
over, but cold storage is a decided i'm
provement over the lining process.
1t seems to me that the hysterical position
assumed by the newspa pers is uncalled for
There must be some way to preserve tue
spring surplus for fall and winter con-
sumption, and the cold storage system ac-
complishes the purpose perfectly.
In looking for the cause of the increased
cost Of food products, why do the inyesti-
gators miss seeing the influence of the grain
elevator combination Of the West? Prices
for grain are fairly easy until the greater
part of the crops are bought up. when
prices are steadily advanced and main
taned. It matters little to the elevator
owners what they pay the grower, since
they havo abundant capital and the "ulti-
mate consumer" has to pay any desired
profit.
The cost of the production of eggs, milk
poultry, meats, etc, is dependent largely on
the price of grain. ALBA \. SKINNER.
