STARVATION IS GIVXN AS T1!E CAUSE Wemaat Who. Run tha Piute Held at th City Jail Trtesf First Call Attention to th Condition. "The doctor says they are dying of starvation." This wss the statement of Mr. Mary Lowrey of UBS Inrlmore ave nue, who runs what she calls a boarding house for babies at her residence, when questioned by the police aa to the ailment of the three little one put In her care and who are all expected to die. The police were first notified of the terri ble state of affairs by Father Judge, who hnd been called to the house by one of the girl mothers to baptise her baby, fear Ing that the Infant was about - to din. Sergeant Cook, accompanied by reporter and the police surgeon at once- visited the house and found three grief-stricken wo men rocking three little bundles. The front room was carpetless.-a, rude bed with soiled -bed clothes stood In the cenlor and a cwarrri of files bussed over some milk which had been spilled on the floor. The other three rooms In th house were a destitute and uninviting a the first. Bergeant Cook gently took the cover from th face of on of th babies and stepped back with a cry of amassment. Expecting to see something horrible, be never thought that such terrible pain could be written on th faca of a human being. Th child' head and face wss barely an inoh and a hs.lf big, the skin was drawn over the cheek bones and th tiny hands - moved restlessly. The little one moaned aa the light fell on lis face. . The other two were no better. "What' th meaning of this?", asked th sergeant Bablsa Arc Starving. Mrs. Lowrey answered g'Jbly, "Starva tion. The doctor says -that the children have not been fed the proper food. They have dysentery and I don't- think any of them will live." By 'repeated questioning the whole pit iable story came out. "I have been boarding babies here since Januar." she said. "Altogether I havs bad eight babies In my care and I have been unfortunate In having all nf them sick. One of fhefn died last Wednesday. I I had no money to pay for the funeral so I gave the body to the coroner. ' Two others the parent took away nd I have heard since that on of thein ha died." "To whom did th baby ' belong that died last Wednesday T" wag the question asked.- "I don't know ' tha names. Tha people left the baby her and paid a week' board W and tha day after I- found that she waa ill. I sent for Dr. Ellis, but but the baby died." "Did' tha dootor make out' a death cer tificate T" ' "I do not know; I gave the baby to th coroner add he asked me who left her her. I tola him J did not know." "How much do you get for looking after a baby?" "Anything from $3 a week to 21.50. Th mothers buy the feed and I cook it and eari for tha children. When they get sick I Inform th mother and they pay the doctor's bills and look after 'th bable" . " , ' '. ' ' , "But if you don't know the names of the -people to' whorri' the child -belongs how ean 'ytia Ihfofm ! thenr : v ' '"Oh,; : that is iinly 6n cake. " -I know atl th rest." . When the mother were asked- what they thought of th affair they 'all -blamed th woman. ' Loses Kin Pounds. "My boy weighed eleven pound when I brought him . here," said one, hugging her baby to her breast, and now he only weighs two. He won't die, will lie, doc tor?" Bh continued anxiously. "Tell me he won't die." Mr. Lowrey was taken to the police station and th charge of cruelty to chil dren preferred against her. On the road to the police station she said that she was In the work for th love of babies. "You must have a peculiar Idea of char ity," was the answer.

"While there la some absolutely fresh meat tha most of it now on the local market U stuff that has been kept In the refrigerators for a long time. . The meat is good and first class in every respect, some of It being especially fine, having been . prepared for export, but. .meat once frozen decomposes much more rapidly when .exposed to a summer temperature than that from car casses recently slaughtered and not frozen.
