WARNS VIOLATORS OF
STATE PACKAGE LAWS
[Continued from First Page.]
any commodity unless it is plainly
marked on the outside with the net
weight of the contents, and the dealer,
whether he be from this city or
whether he attends market, must see
that his goods are marked to comply
with the law. which says:
"If in package form, the quan
tity of the contents shall be plainly
and conspicuously marked on the
outside of the package in terms of
weight, measure or numerical
count.
Penalties
"The penalty for the first offense la
not more than for the second
offense not less oian $25 nor more
than SIOO, and for the third and each
subsequent offense riot less than SIOO
nor more than $2 50.
"The words 'if in package form'
mean that if an article or commodity
of any kind is placed in a box, basket
or container of any kind and sold by
the box, basket or container it be
comes a package and must have the
quantity of the contents marked as
provided by the law of 1913.
"Some of our local dealers have and
are yet selling goods by the box or
basket without any regard to the
marking of the same and are laying
themselves open to prosecution by do
ing so. and my advice to those dealers
is to see that their goods are properly
marked and thus save themselves ar
rest.
"It seems to me that dealers should
not find this a hard law to comply
with, as there is nothing to hurt the
honest dealer, and the consumer has
a right to know. In all fairness, how
much of anything they are buying.
"It Is my purpose to bring suit
against those who refuse to mark their
goods and the merchants or dealers
who may be arrested must blame no
one but themselves, as I feel that
sufficient notices have already heen
given."
SUICIDE'S WIDOW
IS LEFT DESTITUTE
[Continued from First Pago.]
we first married," softly cried Mrs.
Keys as she told her story.
The Happiness of 12 Years Ago
"I met his just 12 years ago last
summer. There was scarcely an
evening passed but that 'Whip' called
or took me out to some place or
amusement. A short time after we
met, 'Whip' declared he loved me and
aAked mo to marry him.
"I was so happy then," sighed Mrs.
Keys as she paused in reminiscence of
those former days.
"A few months later, it was In Oc
tober, Just 10 years ago—we were
married. After a few weeks we went
to our own little home in the lower
end of the city.
Oae So Much IJkc "Whip."
"In those days "Whip' and I were
happy. He seldom left home in the
evenings and always took me with
him when he did.
"Years went by rapidly and we had
a son. He was so much like 'Whip,'
and we both loved him. After he was
born 'Whip'' always tried to get home
from his work early so he could sit in
his big rocker and romp with baby.
"Oh, If only those dayß had never
changed," murmured the young
widow as the light of pleasure faded
from her eyes and her face sobered
in thought of the recent tragedy.
"It seems now that we were too
happy then," quietly continued Mrs.
Keys.
'I1»e Shadow
"Just two years ago the first sor
row entered our home. Our baby
boy—we still called him 'baby' al
though we then had another son, El
mer—was playing along the banks of
Spring creek, down near the Cameron
parkway. He ventured too near the
top of the old canal lock and. toppled,
screaming into the water.
"After we buried him 'Whip' was
melancholy for a long time. He
seemed to take our loss so much
harder than even I did—and I loved
'baby' sol After awhile 'Whip' began
to go out evenings in an effort to
shake off his sorrow.
"It was then that I first noticed a
change in him. He became more and
more distant and cold towards me.
He declined to take me along with
him when he said he was going to
amusement places.
From Neglect to Blows
"But I never doubted him. 1
thought he was only trying to forget
his sorrow and did all I could to make
home pleasant for him.
"My efforts, however, were useless.
He grew still more neglectful, and
after awhile began to treat me cruelly.
"I don't like to tell you of all the
troubles we had. He lost his Job for
some cause or other after we had
moved to 1117 James street, and we
had difficulty in managing things.
"Elmer is growing and needs so
many things. He was four on his last
birthday and I urged 'Whip' to treat
us with more kindness for Elmer's
sake.
The Other Woman and the Result
"But it was no use. The climax of
all my troubles came about three
weeks ago when 'Whip' came home in
a rage and told me to get the furni
ture dusted off for he intended to sell
it ail.
"Tearfully I begged him not to sell
the things we had toiled so hard to
obtain, but he insisted. After many
threats I finally signed a release to the
furniture.
"Oh, that I would have refused
those demands," remorsefully mused
the pretty young widow.
"If J would have had the strength to
resist him then and Inquired what he
wanted to do with the money, I might,
have discovered the other woman,
who was leading him away from me.
Where Ilate Steps In
"Oh, the wretch, that she would
step in and win the affections of my
husband away from rno. I could —Oh!
1 could stand over her and see —but
I musn't say those things, it's wrong.
And 1 fear her people, too, they have
threatened me—T fear them. I am
poor and defepseless—and I have lit
tle Elmer to look after. But 1 know
the police will protect me. They
won't let her people harm me be
cause I say she was wicked for tak
ing my husband and ruining our
home, will they?" appealed Mrs. Keys
as her emotions ran the gaumet from
hate to fear and then to a desire for
protection.
"No, no one will dare harm you for
thinking about the woman who rob
bed you," the widow was assured,
"hut you mustn't say slanderous
things about her."
"Yes, that's it,' continued the
widow, "there is no law to reach her
for breaking up my home, yet the law
says I must not say anything against
her—Oh! the law!"
What "Whip" I.oft Her
"But that's all apart from the tra
gedy that took 'Whip' from me." de
clared the widow.
"I allowed 'Whip* to sell all our fur
niture for S3O. Even the 'runner' in
our stairway was ripped from the
floor and sold along with our parlor
furniture and carpets and all. He
only left me two chairs fo rthe par
lor, a couch and stand in the other
room and a stove, table and garbage
can in the kitchen. All the rest went
that he might get money—for what I
did not then know.
"On that frightful Wednesday that
the tragedy occurred, 'Whip' came in
the house and obtained his revolver. I
wondered what he Intended to do, yet
I feared to ask him.
"A few hours later, I knew," and
Mrs. Kevs cried softly again.
The Love That Never Doubts
"A relative came to our home and
broke the news to me that my hus
band's body was at a downtown un
dertaking establishment. He didn't
tell me of that other woman whom he
had shot.
"Of her I knew nothing until some
one spoke of her while 1 was on my
way to claim my husband's body.
"I never doubted 'Whip.' I loved
him and I always ascribed his long
absence from home to his work.
"But Oh! what I have learned
since."
"Friends have told me how he and
that other woman were often seen
together, of how he accompanied her
to amusement places and of many
other things that preceded that dread
ful day when she and 'Whip' walked
down Wyeth avenue, arm in arm, un
til "Whip" drew his revolver and fired
the shots that took him from me."
