Distressing Conditions Found on Bat.
terry Street by Free Press Man.
George Booth pleaded guilty to selling
liquor illegally yesterday afternoon in city
court and was sentenced to spend not
less than three and n half nor more than
six months at hard labor in the house
of correction at Rutland. He leaves be-
hind him a wife and six small children,
who are living under conditions believed
by most people not to exist in Burling-
ton. His tenement. situated in a lane
running Off Battery street. was visited
yesterday afternoon by a police officer
and a Free Press reporter.
The oldest of the children is ten years
Of age and the youngest a few months.
Conditions were such that the attention
Of the health officer has been called to
them and a cleanup is expected. The
tenement has four rooms and has in
front of it the rear Of the big ice house
Of the Consumers Ice Co. 1t is at the
end of the alley and IL sunshine ever
touches 1t, the journey must be a hard
one. All the water connections were
frozen tight and had been for weeks
When they wanted water they had to go
out to some house on Battery street and
get it, The toilets had not been At for
use in months. On account Of the in
tense cold the family had given up trying
to use the rooms on the lower floor and
no fire has been kept there. They have
moved to the second floor, one room Of
which has sloping roof and the eight
people live there. Mrs Booth said yes
terday for these accommodations she maid
$500 per month.
Mrs. Booth told the police officer that
no one of the six children had any shoes
and those who were In view yesterday
were barefooted. The furniture of the
house consists principally Of one bed, and
as many as can do SO sleep In that.
Some sleep on broken down couch
and others roll up In what they can get
on the floor.
The question Of food would appear
urgent to most people. but 1t is evident
that the woman had been through such
crises before and she seemed to feel
on easy street because she had a few
pounds of -four In the house. This was
the sole article In the line of edibles.
When asked what she was going to feed
the children she said she could make
some pan cakes for she had secured
! some grease from neighbor. What to
eat the next morning she did not know.
The woman. who did not seem to know
much about outside anairs. had not spoken
| to the poormaster.
The strange part of 1t all is that every
one of the children appeared fat and
healthy. They have been out Of doors
during some of the toughest days, bare
footed, and when the dirt is scraped away
they have healthy color to their skin.
Booth Is sent down the line in company
with Daisy Ray Gerhard. The latter.
who is an old offender. is to serve a
sentence Of not less than six nor more
than ten months In the house OF correc-
ton for keeping liquor on hand with in
tent to sell. She and Booth were arrested
at the same time Sunday morning when
about three cases of beer were found
in the house. the other half of which the
| Oebhard woman occupied.
