) THE MORNING STAR, WILMINGTON, N. C, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, JL918- FIVK, GRAND JUR Y ARRAIGNS MILK DEALERS AND HEALTH DEPT. . Ar- ; , ; MR. WARREN'S SIDE Report to Judge Stacy Is Broad side of Criticism of Num erous Conditions. plAIN SPOKEN DOCUMENT rges That Officials Be Indicted If Laws Are-Not Expedi tiously Enforced. iMON SCHOOL DANGEROUS investigate Wood Prices Other Subjects. Owier of Milk Depot Arraigned by Grand Jury States Mis Case Re garding Conditions. Tne report of the grand jury for the November term of superior court jKd with Judge Stacy yesterday after noon, is one of the most vigorous documents ever turned out by a New Hanover grand jury. It arraigns the conditions under which milk is dis pensed in Wilmington and censures the board of health and the health officers for not correcting the alleged condi tions, and recommends their indict ment unless conditions are corrected as the jury views them. The report dips into many things, severai of which seldom find their way into a grand jury report, and speaks plainly of official neglect in the en forcement of existing laws. Besides the subject of milk, the report takes a shot at local drug stores, the use of street drains for disposal of filth, spit ting on th streets, smoking in street cars, congregating on streets, failure to force removal of condemned build ing; urges a reformatory for juvenile offenders, an investigation of the prices on wood fuel, which, are found high as compared with Raleigh prices; condemns the fire escape facilities of the Union school and urges that the i second floor be abandoned for school -purposes; and suggests improvements in minor particulars in handling pris oners. The report in full follows, signed by Foreman Louis T. Moore and Secretary W. E. Price: The Grand Judy's Report. "Wilmington, X. C. Nov. 14th, 191S." "His Honor, Judge W. P. Stacy, Presid ing. Superior Court, New Hanover County. November term 191S. We. the grand jury for the term mentioned above herewith present our report, based on consideration of mat ters presented to us for consideration. We have examined 20' bills of indict ment and have returned 19 true bills. We have returned one "Not a true bill." "We have returned one presentment. "The greater part of our time has been consumed in the investigation of matters which we deem of prime im portance to the community. Many good recommendations of past grand Juries have been allowed to go unheeded. It is our purpose as 4or as possible to have the court enforce recommenda tions v.e make, and would ask that a copy of our report be presented to the succeeding arrand jury for any action that body may see fit to take against any individuals of bodies for neglect, or non-attention, to the matters which many be hereafter referred to in this paper. Warren's Milk Depot. 'We feel that we would be recreant to cur duty if we did not condemn in strongest and most unqualified terms the milk station, or depot, on Second street, conducted by A. G. Warren. This plice wc deem a positive disgrace and a menace to the health of the com munity. We consider the matter of such urgency that we trust His Honor may see fit to emphasize the impor tance nf having our recommendations relative to this and other milk sup ply depots in the city, followed im mediately, sr.ri to the letter.

Stacy of superior court yesterday afternoon containing a sweeping indictment of the way milk is handled in the city, especially at the' milk station of A. G. Warren, The Star advised Mr. Warren that it would give him space in which to make any state ment he desired in regard to the mat ter, 'and he prepared the following: "This afternoon I was very much as tonished to learn that the grand jury, sitting at the present term of superior court, had rendered a report which, among many other things, my milk depot and the methods employed there for delivery of milk had been severe ly criticised. "Wilmington about 18 months ago was very much in need of pasturized milk, according to the superintendent of health, at that time Dr. Charles T. Nesbitt; and at his request I installed, at a cost of about $5,000, the most modern machinery obtainable for that purpose, in order., to provide the ba bies and others in the city of Wil mington with pasturized milfc. Al though this equipment was expensive to operate, I would have cheerfully continued to operate the same had the demand for pasturized milk justified me in.-so .doing. . There was but slijiht increase in the demand for pasturined mUk from -the date of installati6n of the plant to the date of discontinuing the -use of . same. "Shortly after I had equipped my depot with the necessary expensive machinery to provide pasturized milk, a committee of local physicians called upon me and urged me to furnish milk for the babies just as received from the dairies and without the pasturiz ing treatment. Nevertheless, I contin ued to operate the plant for the benefit of those who desired pasturized milk but found! that demand ,too small to continue its operation very long. "The methods employed for the dis pensing of milk at the depot are the same as have been in use for the last five years and have never been con demned or objected to by the food and milk inspector or any member or rep resentative of the board of health; or any one else, notwithstanding the statement contained in the report of tttq grand jury to the effect that the superintendent of health had 'repeat edly warned the proprietor of condi tions.' "The depot has a good cement floor and tile walls. The individual con tainers used for the retail trade were sold to me by reputable people as be ing dust proof and sanitary vehicles for delivery of milk. "The use of tanks equipped with faucets for delivery of milk has been found objectionable on account of the cream remaininW in the tanks by rea son ofjysing to t,he to,p. of -the milk, as well as the faucets' creating 1 rou ble by corroding, etc. "My attitude has always been to give the babies of Wilmington and others the best milk in the best way and I regret that no one has ever seen fit to complain to me instead of to the grand jury and I wish the grand jury had done me the justice to visit my depot in a body before indulging in such a severe criticism. "I am willing to do any reasonable thing to improve either milk or ser vice and will endeavor to meet in the future as I have done in the past, all directions and requests of the board of health." ACQUIT HUNTINGTON IN SLANDER CASE Jury Announces Verdict in Few Minutes. Grandjury Completes Its Investiga tions and Submits Comprehensive Report Court In Session Again Today. , WOULD ESTABLISH HOME FOR DELINQUENT BOYS MD GIRLS Grand Jory Recommends Prompt Ac tion to Save Juveniles. Among the recommendations includ ed in the report of the grand jury yes terday was one urging that a tem porary home be provided for the way ward boys and girls of the city andj county. The idea of the Jurors, as serN forth in the report, is that a commis sion be appointed by the county com missioners and city council for the purpose of establishing a temporary school where the delinquents may be detained while arrangements are made to care for them elsewhere. Members of city council and of the board of commissioners were summon ed before the grand jury yesterday morning for the purpose of ascertain ing their views on the matter, and it is understood that they heartily ap proved of the plan. It was agreed, after being told of conditions that ex ist by Recorder George Harriss and Solicitor E. T. Burton, and Rev. F. D. Dean, probation officer, that a joint session of council and the commission ers be held at which a committe.e of citizens will be present and officially ask for the appropriation to finance the movement. The meeting will be held in council chamber Monday night at 7:30 o'clock and the committee will be composed of the following: Re corder Harriss, Solicitor Burton, Mr. Dean, Mrs. W. L. Parsley, Mrs. W. B. Cooper, Mrs. I. W: Solomon and L. T. Moore, foreman of the grand jury'. It is stated in police circles, and the records of recorder's court substanti ate the statement, that a great per centage of the violations during re cent months has been among what might be termed children, and the con tention is that if these juveniles are to.be turned from the wayward course some means of dealing with them should be advised that will have a tendency to elevate the offender rath er than to mark him as a criminal. This is a matter of vast importance to society and the public awaits de velopments with much interest. FEEBLE AGED WOMAN 75 Years Old,; Weakened By Pneumo nia Vinol Restored Strength. Winchester, Va. "I am a farmer's wife, 75 years of age, and pneumonia left me in weak, run-down condition, so I could hardly keep about and do my work. A neighbor brought me Vinol and it has built up my strength so fast that I think it is the best med icine I have ever taken." Mrs. Jennie Chapman. ' There is -no- secret about vinol. It owes its success to beef and cod liver peptones, iron and' maganese pepto nates and- glycerophosphates, the old est .and mostf amous body-building and strength creating Jtonics..,. - P. S. Our Saxol Salv stops itching and ' begins J healing at once. dv . ( After deliberating for only about 10 minutes the jury in the case against J. B. Huntington - charging him with slandering Miss Jacoba Weyers, re turned, yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock, a verdict of not guilty. The case was taken up Wednesday and the testimony concluded yesterday morn ing. Following the arguments of the at torneys Judge W. P. Stacy charged the jury in a manner that could not be construed as partial to either the prosecuting witness or the defendant, and left the case with jury to render a verdict. Aftet" being out for only a short time the jury returned and asked that the testimony of one of the witnesses be read and that Judge. Stacy en lighten them one one other point, after which they returned and in a very short time ' they filed back into the court room and gave their verdict to Clerk W. N. Harriss, the judge, hav ing left the room. Due, to the prominence of the de fendant and to existing circumstances, considerable interest attached to the outcome of the case. The verdict was received with evidence of approval by most citizens who kntt Mr. Hunting ton had been guilty ol no intentional wrong in the matter. The character of the prosecuting witness, it is point ed out, suffers no reproach by reason of the verdict of acquittal, since her innocence of charges had been estab lished in recorder's court when the case against her was dismissed as baseless. The Huntington case was begun Wednesday and consumed all of yes terday. Other cases will be taken up today, and the docket completed today or tomorrow. The grandjury finished its work yesterday, comparatively early, most juries in the past having remained in session during, the first week of court, and the last one, it is recalled, con tinued a day or 'two after court had adjourned. Its report, reproduced in full this morning, was received as one of the most vigorous documents a grand jury has ever turned out in this county, not to say sensational. Its nature was unsuspected by those in the court room, and they gave it the closest attention throughout its read ing by Maj. W. N. Harriss, clerk of court. Judge Stacy made no comment on the report other than to thank the jurors for their "splendid" report and for the services rendered in the dis charge of their duties and to assure them that their recommendations would be carried out. LOCAL MOVING PICTURE TO BE SHOWN AT GRAND MONDAY "The Grouch," Filmed Around This City Superb ' in Photography. The first legitimate motion picture production made in and around Wil mington, the World Film picture, "The Grouch," has just received its pre miere in New York city and develops the interesting fact that Wilmington is climatically and atmospherically, as well as from a scenic standpoint, ad mirably adapted to the making of mo tion pictures, the following criticism of the picture from the Motion Picture News speaking especially of the re markably clear photography made in the lowlands of Brunswick cojmty, as follows: " 'The Grouch' has some of the most unusual scenes ever seen on the screen of a picture theatre. The story called for a trackless swamp as its back ground and in order to obtain exactly the proper atmosphere Director Apfel took his company to a vast swamp near Wilmington, North Carolina. Here the foliage was dense, the under growth rank, while the waters of the swamp covered a large area. It was the ideal location 'and remarkable camera work obtains in these scenes that is rare. Usually in damp climates the film becomes moist and as a result the photography is poor. In these scenes, however, it is superlative." The-Grand theatre will undoubtedly be crowded next Monday by those who are anxious to see the first really big picture ever made here. ARRESTED FOR ALLEGED THEFT Colored Girl is Charged With Stealing Rings and Fountain Pen. Rosa Harrison, a colored girl, was arrested yesterday afternoon charged with the theft of two rings and a fountain pen from Mrs. Baxter F. Oz ment by whom she has been employed as nurse for the past three weeks. She will be given a hearing in record er's court this morning. Mrs. Ozment had missed small amounts of money on a number of oc casions and concluding that the girl was taking it she was discharged. However, the loss of the rings and fountain pen was not discovered until another colored girl was seen wear ing one of them, which had been given her by the Morrison girl. The - two rings were taken from a jewelry case containing other jewelry much more valuable, Including among them being a diamond ring, several several watch es and several other rings with less valuable stones. When arrested the girl denied the theft but later acknowledged it and told where the other ring could be found. The fountain-pen has not been recovered. PENTVY FOR EACH CUSTOMER United Cigar Stores Making Drive for $100,000 for War Fund. The local United, States 'Cigar store, in common with the company's stores everywhere, is raising funds for the united war work drive by giving one penny for each and every customer who visits the store. In this way the entire chain of stores throughout the country expects to raise $100,000. Approximately a million customers visit these stores daily. As each pur chase is completed the clerk drops a penny in a receptacle. Advertising matter also asks that the customer "follow suit" and drop , in a penny, too. The drive started yesterday and will continue through today, tomorrow ; and on , Monday, when the war work cam paign ends. The, stores expect to raise $50,000 .by their, own contributions and as much . more : by inducing; customers to -drop a xenny;,in the receptacle every time 'the clerk "drops one. j- 1 WAR WORK CAMPAIGN DRAWING TO A CLOSE Only Three Days Remain to Sign Pledge Cards. Enthusiastic Meeting of Canvassing at Luncheon Yesterday Speakers Ad vocate Publishing Names of Non-Contributors. With only three days remaining be fore the united war work campaign closes, New Hanover's total subscrip tion to the fund for the welfare of the soldiers amounts to ?35,863, leaving a balance of approximately $20,000 to be pledged within the next three days if the county raises the allotment of $57,500 originally assigned it and more than $40,000 if she over-subscribes her quota as much as she has been asked and is expected to do. Reports on the day's work turned in by committee members at luncheon at campaign headquarters yesterday showed that canvassing teams had net-' ted during the day pledges totalling $9,483. At the beginning of the cam paign the teams were assigned lists of prospective contributors to be can vassed. These lists were completed yesterday, and during the remaining days of the campaign the teams will be allowed to canvass the city without restrictions, interviewing any and ev ery citizen in the city irrespective of what organization or industrial group he is listed with. In this way the city will be thoroughly worked and the canvassing teams will no doubt be able to report larger sums than heretofore. The meeting of committee members and canvassing teams at luncheon yes terday was one of the most enthusi astic and spirited sessions the war workers have held. As the campaign draws to a close, the teams are evi dencing more zeal and intensity in the drive. They are facing - the question of. carrying New Hanover "over the top" to a place of honor among her sister counties or of letting her fail to live up to what is expected of her. In view of this fact, there was no mincing of words in the addreses de livered by various members of the war work organization after luncheon. If Wilmington citizens had been told six months ago that they could, end the war by contributing a certain sum of money. J. Allan Taylor stated, no one would have hesitated in paying any amount asked of him. But now that peace has been gained, they are unwilling to show their appreciation of what has been accomplished by con tributing even a small sum toward the comfort of the men who have won peace. Mr. Taylor did not hesitate to name a man of prominence and means who contributed only $5; another wealthy man was mentioned who re fused to contribute. As a worthy example of a man who has responded freely and gladly to all patriotic and worthy causes, Mr. Tay lor cited George H. Hutaff, who, he stated, has contributed no less than $8,000 to war work and charitable pur poses during the last few years. A man who refuses to do his duty is as much a slacker in times of peace as he was before hostilities ceased. Mr. Taylor declared. He advocated that the names of those persons able to contribute to war work and refuse to do it should be placed upon a "dis honor roll" and posted where every body could inspect it. County Chairman Roger Moore sup ported Mr. Taylor's remarks concern ing the roll of dishonor, and stated that furthermore the names of wealthy citizens who refuse to make contribu tions to the cause should be publish ed in the newspapers, so that the citi zens of the county and the returning soldiers may know just what persons are bearing the burden and what per sons are shirking. t Both speakers were enthusiastically applauded when they suggested that the names of those refusing to con tribute should be made public, and it was-very evident that they voiced the sentiment of the entire organization of united war workers. Such a step is being seriously considered by offi cials of the organization, and it is very probable that a "dishonor roll" will be prepared and exhibited at the close of the campaign. The list of industrial organizations reported yesterday as having subscrib ed 100 per cent included the Wilming ton Compress company, Tidewater Power company, Hilton Lumber com pany, and Carolina Metal Products company. Each of these plants were presented with handsome "100 per cent" shields. It was announced yes terday that no industrial plant em ploying less than 30 persons would be entitled to one of these emblems. The shields are very substantial and are beautifully designed, and each one represents no small expenditure. ' It can readllly be seen that if they are presented to the small organizations subscribing 100per cent the cash out lay would be enormous. But this does not prevent the smaller plants having the satisfaction of knowing that they went 100 per cent Just the same. Subscriptions secured by the vari ous divisions yesterday were as fol lows; Retail division, $134; banks and corporations, $338; wholesale, $217; flying squadron, $5,470; professional division, $180; ladies' division, $2,157; boys and girls' - division, $487; indus trial division, $500; making a total of $9,483. and bringing the grand total of the campaign up to date to $35,863. ENJOYABLE OYSTER ROAST Over fSOO Worth W. S. Stamps Sold at Myrtle Grove Last Night. A total of'$30157 worth of war sav ings and thrift stamps were sold at an oyster roast and flag raising held last night at the Myrtle Grove school house under . the auspices of the Myrtle Grove W. S. S. committee. Forty-nine dol lars and eighty-one cents of this amount was raised from the. sale of oysters and the remaining $251.76 was the proceeds from the sale of. a cake which was conducted by J. O. Brown, An inspiring .addfess was made by J. A. McNorton at the flag raising ceremonies. The flag was won by the Myrtle Grove township committee by going, over the .top with, its quota of war savings stamps. The votes in the cake selling con. test were-as follows; Miss Edna Brown, 12,260; .Miss Elsie Jones, 11, 288; Mrs. Sidney McMillan, 40; Miss Susie Northrop, 5; Mrs. Addie Peiffer, 1.583. - Prominent Theatrical Man Dead.

Pneumonia Victims on Board the City of Savannah Will be Cared For at Fort Caswell While Ship is Being Coaled. While their stay in Wilmington was not without unpleasant features, there will always be a warm spot in the hearts of the 1,900 Porto Ricarrs, who arrived here Tuesday morning en route to Fayetteville to help build Camp Bragg, for the people of Cape Fear city. The National Special Aid so ciety fed them, while, equally as prompt to offer its assistance, the Red Cross clothed them. Leaving their tropical homes, many of them were clad in the flimsy gar ments that are worn on the islands, and few of them had a change of rai ment. Naturally when they struck a colder climate and a sudden change of temperature occasioned by a storm at sea, many of them fell victims to colds, more than 50 developing pneu monia. There were 200 cases of seri ous sickness aboard the ship Wednes day night, Lieut. M. S. Black, medical officer in charge, stated, and at that time Lieutenant Black and Dr. Stiles were planning to utilize the marine hospital building for the treatment of the 50 patients with pneumonia. How ever, yesterday morning, after., plans had already been made to convert the hospital building, which had only re cently been changed into a government laboratory, back to an institution for the sick, it was decided to keep the men on board and go to Fort Cas well where they will be given attend tion while the vessel is being coaled. The "feeding" of the men was not necessary from trie standpoint of lack of food aboard the ship, for an investi gation of the report that there were no provisions aboard revealed that the commander had stored away more than 30 tons of various articles of food, but it was not so very appetiz ing for the sick, and so the Special Aid made 25 gallons of soup for the sick men. Yesterday morning the Red Cross purchased a quantity of heavy underwear for the men to wear until they could reach a warmer climate. When the City of Savannah, on which the natives made the trip to Wilmington, reached this port it way met by an officer from Washington bearing orders instructing the com mander of the transport to return to the island with the men, as they would not be needed at Camp Bragg, since the war is over. In addition to the 1.900- who were brought up on this trip there were 200 more sent here from Camp Bragg and returned on the City of Savannah, which left here about noon yesterday for Fort Caswell and Porto Rica. There were quite a number of the natives who wanted to remain in Wil mington but only 15 were permitted to stay. Fearing that should as many as desired to do so be allowed to re main, some would take advantage of the opportunity who did not have the funds to subsist on until employment could be obtained, Colonel O'Bryne made the statement that as many as had $30 or more and who cared to, could remain here, and only 15 could remain under these, terms. Thirteen of this number were em- EACH SATURDAY NIGHT 'This bank is open from 7 to 9. Here you will find service and courteous attention. We invite you to keep your bank account with us.

HALLSBORO GENEROUS. Thirty People Pledge $205 For War Work Fund. The Hallsboro people have shown a generous spirit in their response to the appeal of the united war work cam paign for funds o be used .by seven organiaztions carrying on social and religir.us work among the soldiers and sailors of the country. At a meeting held in the Baptist church Wednesday night, attended by about 30 citizens .and addressed by the Rt. Rev. Thomas C. Darst, bishop of the diocese of East Carolina, the sum of $205 was pledged for tha support of this work. Bishop Darst had never visited this little town before, but he was cartainly impressed by the spirit displayed by the representatives citizens who gath ered to. hear him, and he has promised that he wll return again when he is going to preach them a real sermon. Bishop Darst didn't .have any set sub ject for his address, notwithstading he was there in the interest of the war work drive. He spoke on the war, peace, the reconstruction that is to fol low and explained briefly the work of the seven organizations for which the funds are being raised. And he struck ' a responsive chord, as was evidenced by the liberal subscriptions. Following Iqs address Bishop Darst asked for pledges, starting off at $50. He got one. subscription for this' amount and then began to drop down to smaller amounts, finally reaching $1. BASKET BALL GAME AT "Y" Two Contests Will Be Staged Tonight No Admission Charge At The Y. M. C. A. senior basket ball league will endeavor to entertain the public again tonight with two fast games. Both teams are evenly match ed, as the score in both the games last Friday night was very close. The winners won by only a few points. The 'first game will be played by Captain Gerdes' team and Captain Da vis' team. These teams will go in the game with the determination to win, as the winner will have a berth at the top of the league. The second game will be between Captain Myers' and Captain Montgom-, ery's teams. This game will also be hard fought, as the looser will be forced to take a berth in the cellar. This cellar position isn't wanted by either team, and the second game promises to be equally fast and snappy as the first. ifiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirs Our 3rd Anniversary Sale (Grows Every day new people are coming in who have heard their friends speaking of the many bargains they have gotten.
