An exchange says that after thorough investi-

jury, that body of men returned eighteen indictments
against prominent liquor and their alleged tools.
The grand jury report said:

The alleged irregularities were commisted in

Forty>Five Per Cent of the Disrupted

Judge William Gemmil of the court of Domestic

Brooklyn Court of Domestic Relations is strikingly
similar to the report made by Judge Gemmil of our

the Chicago brand. Women are the chief sufferers

A WAL from the Liquor Camp


The following is from the Champion of Fair Play,
liquor paper, of April II:
OF TROUBLES TO THE SALOON MEN THERE IS NO
END.
When will the liquor have rest? Perhaps in the
world Never in this long there temper
cranks and legislators with the itching palm
Without doubt many the antliquor bills introduced
in all the legislatures pinch blsvirtualy hold
up, stand and deliver of affairs
Is any wonder pestered by such legislation that the
liquor interests find imperative to be forever the quviye
No other business existence pestered by adverse
legislation The liquor obey the laws pay the
all money demanded of them, try live peace and fell
lowship with all mankind, and should be left alone.
But do they obey the laws? Judging from the
tone of the various resolutions adopted by liquor deal
ers' organizations about election time is forced
to conclude that nobody is any awake to the fact
that the saloonkeeper is awbreaker than is the
saloonkeeper himself

in studying the boy life OF our streets.
The ingenuity of these lads exploits
is appalling. Some of the leaders
grow uD to be captains of industry
and others wear the uniform of Ell
mira, which, by the way is re-
For instance, a gang of 10 or II
boys, all living in a very restricted
area (bOys two blocks away are their
hereditary foes) divide up two score
tenements. Each boy goes through
his tenements, knocking at the doors
and asking the housewives if there
are any orders for groceries.
Some of the women are suspicious
(although they need not be because
they are not the intended victims),
but here and there one will say she
needs a cake of soap, or a quart Of
potatoes, or a new broom
The members of the gang meet at
their "hang-Out," and they compare
notes. They need three cans Of corn,
two brooms, ten cakes of soap, etc.
The gang strolls over to a grocery
store on Ninth avenue. The leader
goes in and asks the grocer for
bottle of ginger ale. This causes the
grocer to go to the refrigerator in
the rear. The gang sweeps in. They
knock over the boxes and the bar
rels, grab what they can and tear
away in different directions. Seldom
are they caught.
Then the "orders" are filled The
proceeds are equally divided and the
gang starts a game of crap or
pitch penny" They gamble until
one boy has all the money. He there
by wins the distinctive honor OF be-
ing leader in the next raid. He d.

One half he spends with the gang"
The rest he has the right to squander
in the company of a chosen cOmpan-
ion
Is not tbs an adventurous life? In
the country, the boys would use the
same ingenuity in catching muskrats
or shooting squirrels. Hemmed in by
the city they make the best of their
environments
