Judge Sellers Decides Plaster
er's Home Is Unfit Place for
His Children.
Elmer F. Dwyer, Georgetown

Elmer F. Dwyer, Georgetown
plastering contractor, who has
been seeking to regain custody Of
his three children, Elmer, jr., Paul
and Ethel, now in the House of
Detention lost his fight before
Judge Sellers in the Juvenile
Court this morning.
Censures Dwyer.
After censuring Dwyer, Judge Sell
lers said: - 80 ~
,'Ths court adjydses the Dwyer
home and without proper parental con
troll. They are therefore committed to
tie Board Of Children's Guardians dur
IL, g minority"
The three children were returned to
the House of Detention, where they
will be held during the next two days
at least during which an opportunity
to file an appeal will be given Dwyer.
Judge Sellers, in censuring Dwyer.
said:
Amy married man who goes about
with a woman other than his wife
knows that other men consider the
woman to be immoral. Every woman
knows this. And any woman who goes
about with a married man and accepts
the attentions which she might expect
OF an unmarried man puts herself
beyond the pale of respectability.
THE fact that the wife remains
lcomplacent creates suspicion that the
wife has been cowed into submission
or that she herself has lost her re-
spectability.
When decent women and society in
general look upon these affairs brazen-
ly an evil day has come"
Dwyer to Appeal.
Immediately after court was ad-
journed Dwyer was busy arranging
with his attorney, c. Chester Caywood,
to take the case to the Court OF Ap-
peals. Two days remain in which this
appeal could be made.
Resumption Of the Dwyer case came
shortly after 1880 o'clock this morn
II ing. Judge Sellers informed Attorney
Caywood that she was ready to hear
further testimony Of the three Dwyer
children, as she had indicated she
would at the resting Of the case last
Wednesday night.
Attorney Caywood said that he had
prepared to continue the case with
out further questioning of the chill
dren, but asked for few moments
Iintermission, which the court granted
Courtroom Crowded.
Caywood's decision was to omit put
ting the children on the stand once
more.
The court listeners, completely fill
| ing the small chamber long before the
case was called, had expected to hear
further revelations concerning a check
book introduced as evidence against
| Dwyer last week. Counsel for both
sides, however, waived argument over
the question of the checkbook. alleged
to have contained stubs indicating that
! Dwyer had issued checks to a Miss
Coyal," as being proper evidence, and
no further discussion was heard or

BY HOUSE
D. c. Dealers Declared to Be at
Mercy of Maryland and
Virginia Producers.

The Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association dumped thou
sands of gallons of milk into Wash
ington sewers on the day the milk
strike" began, it was charged before
subcommittee of the House Dis
trict Committee today.
Darr Tells of Dumping.
Charles W. Darr, representing many
of the dairymen of Washington, told
the committee a large portion, II not
all, of several thousand gallons of
milk was disposed of on October 21
via the sewer when the "milk war"
started s,. a-it.ss
dr. DaEr and matthew o'Brien. both
jointly representing the distributors.
made serious charges against the milk
producers. They declare Washington 8
milk supply and price is controlled
by the association, which can at will,
without notice, cut off nearly all milk
sent to this city.
The subcommittee not only will in
vestigate practices Of Maryland and
Virginia producers, but 1t will delve
into the operations of the distributors
here.
The committee appeared to believe
the distributors were making too
great a profit. 1t was brought out
that dealers here sell the milk for
nearly twice what they pay for 1t.
The entire morning was taken up
by Darr and O'Brien, who spent most
of the time condemning the producers
association and attempting to show
that organization is so powerful II Is
dominating the milk field here, and
that there is no competitive selling OF
milk.
Producers Letter Introduced.
In proof of his many charges
against the producers association,
Darr put into the record a copy Of
a letter alleged to have been sent
by the association to all it's members.
This letter specifically states that
on October 21, 1000 gallons of milk,
usually sent to Black. Bowles, Gregg,
Storm Sherwood. Horner Bros,
Estes. Selectmen, Alden and Heflin,
all dairymen, in Washington, had
been diverted.
''It will be surprising to know that
a large portion. II not ALL of this 1000
gallons was thrown into the sewers,
Darr declared.
Darr asserted the milk was diverted
because the dairymen refused to sign
a contract with the association, which
contract provides that distributors
must deal only with members of the
association, which shall set the price.
Control OF Farmers Charged.
The attorney also introduced let
ter which, he said, was sent by Il. II.
Maxwell. of Clarendon, Va, to j.
Marcy. of Washington. The letter
follows, in part:
1T is with regret that I am called
upon to ship milk to the plant today.
However, as a member I am
compelled to comply or pay a fine,
or later be cut off the market com.
pletely."
That letter, Darr declared, shows
clearly how the association dominate
the farmers.
1t was brought out today that
there are several milk firms which
are not on the associations black

1t probably will be considerable
