MAYOR TO CLOSE
DETENTION HOME
IF NOT IMPROVED
Smith Says the Home Is for
Criminals and Not
for Unfortunate
Children.

The Board of Public Welfare held
a meeting yesterday afternoon, at
which the new member, Judge
Howard Kennedy. was present.
Mayor Smith was also present. The
time Of the board was largely taken
up by discussion of the city's deten-
ton home. brought forth by the re-
port of case handled by the board.
The woman in the case, a soldiers
wife, had been placed in the detention
home when found afflicted with a So
cial disease. She has baby, recently
born, afflicted with the same disease.
The baby was placed in the county
hospital aud the mothre in the deten-
tion home. The mother told the well
fare board she had run away from
the detention home to find her baby.
but was caught and thrown in the city
Jail, where she slept all night on the
bare floor, after whcih she was taken
back to the detention home. She is
very anxious to have her baby.
There is misconception on the
part OF the health officials" said
Mayor Smith. "as to the purpose OF
the detention home, and unless there
Is change made in the way such
cases as this are handled, the home
will be discontinued. The home is
for criminals, not unfortunates. There
has been no charge lodged against
this woman and she is not accused as
a criminal, yet she is treated like one.
u have a number Of affidavits now on
my desk as to treatment received at
the detention home by unfortuantes
that make my blood boil. This is on
ly one of many cases."
DR.. Jennie Callfas defended the ac-
tions Of those in charge of the deten-
ton home. and branded as false the
assertions of those who tell such tales
as some the mayor quoted. She as
serted she had called unexpectedly a
number OF times at the home and al
ways found things above reproach.
The board decided II had no juris-
diction in the case of the soldiers
wife.
The board adopted a new rule pro-
yiding that in the future sessions shalt
be held in secret and all matters that
are to come before the board must be
submitted in writing. 1t is estimated
that much time will be saved by this

PRICES
HOLD GOOD
JUNE, 20
The Presidents Proclamation
Guarantees Price Regard
less of Peace.

Farmers are assured that present
prices for wheat will hold good until
June /. 1920, according to information
recently given out by the food admin
istration. This will be well received
bv the many producers throughout the
state who have been selling to the gov
eminent through the food administra-
ton grain corporation.
Following is the statement issued
from Washington:
THE presidents proclamation OF
Feb u. 1913, fixing prices for the 1918
wheat crop applies to wheat harvest
ed in the United States during the
year 1918 and offered for sale before
the first day Of June 1919 to such
agent CT employee of the United States,
or other person as may be hereafter
designated" at the principal primary
markets specified The food admins
tration gr,.in corporation was desig
mated June u, 1918, to purchase the
1913 wheat crop and will therefore
continue t. exercise that duty and OBJ
legation even though peace should be
signed prior to June l, 1919. The food
control act provides that termination
of the act shall not affect any obliga-
ton accrued or accruing during its
existence and the purchase Of the 1918
wheat crop is such an obligation.
Proclamation Sets Time.
THE presidents proclamation of
September 2, 1918 establishing guaran-
teed prices for the 1919 wheat crop
applies to wheat harvested in the
United States during 1919 and offered
for sale before June 1, 1920. AS in the
case of the 1918 crop the wheat must
be offered for sale to "such agent or
employee of the United States or other
person as may be hereafter designat
ed' at any one of the principal pri-
mary markets. Up to the present date
hewever, the agency by which the 1915
wheat crop is to be purchased has not
been designated
Thus. although the guarantee for the
1919 wheat crop will continue until
June 1, 1920, there is no present as
surance it will be purchased or hand
led by the food administration grain
corporation.
