WILL INSIST
ON REPORT
State Can't Suppress
the Facts, Says
Mrs. Galley

Mrs. J. X. Galley. founder OF the
Citizens Welfare league 81 Mich
gan. IN a meeting In Hotel Stauer.
Saturday night, made charges Of
neglect OF duty on the part of the
state In the case OF Hilda Mathews.
an inmate OF the Lapeer Home for
the eeble-Minded. who became q
mother OF two feebleminded chill
dren while an inmate OF that insti-
tuition. This case was recently cited
by DR.. Victor v. Vaughn. OF Ann Az.
Dor.
The league asked the committee
on state affairs in Lansing. last
Thursday. TO demand the suppressed
report that was rendered by an In
lyestigztor OF the eugenics commits
sion. II is understood that this re-
port was suppressed for political
reasons.
Mrs. Galley said that the moral
welfare OF hundreds OF boys in the
Lansing reformatory was Mt stake.
and that not for all the politics in
the world should this report be with
held from the Legislature. II was
stated by DIR. John Burkhart secre1
tary Of the state board Of health.
that the suppressed report was "too
horrible to publish" but enough Of
the facts have already been pub
.lished 10 arouse the people OF Mich
igan to immediate action. Mrs. Gal
ley said.
IF any political party hopes 10
hide corrupt conditions that are hav-
ing an evil result upon humanity.
then it Is time that the mothers and
fathers OF the race get busy. and
clean out the 'slush' in some Of our
state Institutions, she added. I'VE
feel that every true citizen will be-
come identified with our league and
Join Us in our demand for a board
OF administration to properly gov
-ern our institutions and free them
from political corruption.

the fall OF Constantinopie win mea-
a swift drop In the price OF sugar
according 10 Detroit sugar men.
There are 100000 tons OF beei
sugar In Russia, waiting 20 be 10
leased" said a prominent sugar deal
er, Monday. IF the British and
French fleets can make a way fol
this sugar into the Mediterranean
the shortage caused by the scan,
Cuban crop and the competition OF
the world for cuban sugar win b
relieved TO a considerable extent.
The war has caused q large In
crease In the price Of sugar. A,
this time last year sugar was sellinE
at four cents a pound. Now II Is
nearly sir cents.
/ No very large quantities OF sugar
are being held. In spite OF reports
10 the contrary. The Michigan sugar
factories have about one-third OF
their crop on hand. a normal supply
for this time OF the year. In Louis
lana. about 40 per cent OF the cane
sugar crop II still on hand. Usually
an EFFORT Is made to get rid OF the
crop In hurry. but this year the
demand has kept mp so well that the
dealers have been letting their sugar
go from time TO time. as Il was need
ed. and this fact has kept the price
fairly level.
a report that 20 carloads OF sugar
are being held here Ia storage Is dis
counted by the fact that the annual
consumption OF sugar In so 10 80
pounds per capita, so that for city
the sire OF Detroit. 20 carloads are
but drop in the bucket"
These statements were corroborat.
ed by F. r. Hathaway. secretary OF
the Michigan Sugar Co.
The Michigan factories have on
hand only a normal supply for this
time OF the year" said Mr.. Hatha'
way. Last year. when the war broke
out. sugar went TO seven and one.
half cents a pound. The price drop
ped to ass OF FIVE cents when the
fall crop came on the market. and
since then has gradually risen.
France and Britain's supply OF
continental sugar was cut on by the
war. so they were forced TO compete
with the United States and other ma
tions for Cuban sugar. forcing ND
the price"
The Michigan Sugar Co. has felt
the effect Of the increased price OF
sugar One year ago, It's common
stock was worth % IA on the local
market. The last quotation was 50.
The stockholders are looking for a
dividend a. a result OF the high
price OF sugar.

FATHERS DEATH
HER ONE HERITAGE
Babe Whose Parent Was Killed
at Ypres Here with Brave
Mother.

A baby girl, five weeks old, whose
father was killed in battle near Ypres
five days before she was born in Lon
don, arrived here Yesterday on the
Cymric. With her birth is associated
one of the most pathetic stories tina.
have reached this country from the war
zone II was told by her mother. Ms.
Dorothy Murray, of Sydney, Australia
Mrs. Murray did not break down as
she spoke OF the experiences that
would have completely crushed most
women. There was a little catch in
her voice now and then, but her smile
was brave and the repression of her
manner was eloquent. Like a true sol
dier's wife she was sustained by q
great pride in the husband whose ga
liant death will be the most priced
heritage Of the babe she held IN hec
arms.
4 few weeks before the baby's birth,
Mrs. Murray said, she arrived in Lon
don from Sydney with a friend, Miss
Bessie Smith
Captain Murray. who had left aboilt
siY months before with a detachment Of
colonial troops, had written that ne
had leave Of absence.
Bearing q double burden Of anxiety,
the days passed too slowly for the
young wife. but whenever she felt her
self almost at the end of her endurancs
there came the sustaining thought that
hcr husband would soon be with her
Al last there was only week more to
wait. The days dragged slowly on. and
then came The brief official announce
