WOOD'S DRUG STORE, 388 Main St. The Santos and Vinol Stores FIND CONDITIONS BETTER AT CHILD FARM Warrant Served on Mrs. Blanche Cannon, the Matron, Charging Her With Not Having Permit from Health Officer. CASE SET DOWN FOR AUGUST 2 Further steps were taken day to protect and ameliorate the condition of the sixty odd inmates of the East Side Home for Destitute Dutches Children's branch near Sylvan Lake, County. Assistant District Attorney Haas! Under Sheriff Briggs and agent for William F.

H. Wentzel, state the societies for the vention of Cruelty to Children in this state, went to the home and served warrant on Mra. Manche Cannon, the matron, charging her with conducting the place without a permit from the health officer of the town. Mrs. Cannon's case was adjourned until Thursday, August 2nd.

when she will appear before justice of the peace, James Long to answer to the charge. The offense la punishable by a prison sontence. Prior to their call at the home, the three men, who investigated conditions at the home last. Friday and found shocking conditions as reported in. Saturday's Eagle-News, called on Dr.

Tripp, the health officer, and assured themselves that the superintendent, Mrs. had failed to secure a permit to conduct a boarding home for children within the town. most of the children at this place are under 12 years of age. Mra. Cannon clearly had violated the provisions of the law.

To the Eagle-News Mr. Wentzel stated that conditions were found to be much improved Wednesday as the result of the unexpected vialt of last Friday. Many of the beds In the house had clean linen, whereas last. week they were without linen. The children were cleaner personally, and better dressed, and there were extra caretakers and other help about the place.

Mrs. Cannon promised further improvements if allowed to continue at the farm, and it is the intention of those pushing the investigation to see that better conditions are guaranteed. The Poughkeepsie Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children intends to see the matter through. Mrs. Cannon will have to obtain permit from the health officer, and meet all the requirements of the law or her place will- be closed.

It de thought that a legal hold upon the woman will be necessary to insure the continuance of satistactory conditions at the home. This same Mrs. Cannon was under observation 1p New York City some years ago while engaged in this childcaring work. She then was the superintendent of the East Side Nursery. There was much sickness and many deaths among the children intrusted to the care of this society.

The ciety also had trouble with the New York City board of health, and finally was closed up. Then Chil- the East Side Home for Destitute, dren. This organization partially financed by mones gathered by professional solicitors, one of whom was looked up last summer by the police of this city, A number of them, said Mr. Wentzel. have been driven from the streets of New York.

Wentzel said further that the Investigators have evidence that Mrs. Cannon broke a diphtheria quarantine. Some of the children were allowed to go to New York while one of the Inmates was down with diphtheria. One of these children now is confined to New York hospital with diphtheria. The diphtheria, patients with have been to mingle other children of the home.

The Inmates have been off the premises, and. were brought to Poughkeepsie, some of them, only Wednesday. Nothing was said about the food served to the children by Mr. Wentzel, although last Friday their evident lack of nourishment was noticed by the assistant district attorney. D.

and Mrs. Barnett Lutaky, corner Mill and Washington Streets 40 the Brady Wiltsle-Corbally Company the story of Mrs. Lutsky has any weight. Mrs. Lutaky stated to an EagleNews representative Wednesday that Wiltsie had been for "some time trying to get the property and she and her husband both told him that it was not for sale.

"I am keeping roomers there and my husband has store in the building and we are doing nicely, why should I want to sell the property Mrs. Lutsky cannot seem to figure out why her husband took such sudden turn of mind since last Sunday when he and Mr. Wiltsle had 1 conference. She states that her husband had some refreshments and had not seemed to be the same since that time. All of a sudden.

he wanted, to sell the property and told his wife sign the papers. "They told me to sigh the papers and I had to do it." she said Wednesday. "I have famIly. of six children and I know I am not doing the right thing by turning the property over to Wiltsle. I could not write my name so I made cross for the lawyer and I am sure I have done wrong.

Mrs. Lutsky told with tears in her eyes how she had to sign the papers and she firmly believes that her husband has been influenced in some way to dispose of the property. It. is poRsible that Mrs. Lutsky will have the matter and aired in court before any further action is taken.
