A POLICE MATRON.
An important Auxiliary Which
Rock Island Needs.
OTHER CITIES ARE so PROVIDED

Advantages Of SUCH Provislon ~ u shown
by the Examples Of Places Which Have
Adopted the System-ArTumsnt In Its
Favor.
The question of a police matron in
Rock Island is one which has been
more or less agitsted and discussed,
and is one which should certainly
receive the sanction of the municipal
authorities. Mayor Knox. when In
terviewed on the subject this morn
ing. stated that while he was hearth
ly in favor OF such an adjunct to the
police system of the city. he did not
consider it practicable Just now, ow-
ing. first to the condition of city
finances, as it would involve consid-
cradle expense. and second. to the
inadequacy of present accommoda-
tions to admit quarters for the
special care OF women prisoners.
making it necessary to either build
or rent q second building.
In Davenport.
In Davenport the police matron
system has been in vogue for some
years. with successful and most sat-
isfactory results. A lady in that
city, who was instrumental in secur-
ing the adjunct and has carefully
watched its operations. said to one
of the staff of the Women's edition
of The Argus: WHO can doubt the
propriety or necessity of having a
woman in our police department who
shall care for all women and chill
dren that may be brought to the po-
lice station? Woman has q right to
be cared for by her own sex. Look
at the various conditions under
which women are arrested. Oft
times in q state of intoxication bor-
dering on delirum tremens. In case
of larceny there must be thorough
searching. not only of the clothing,
but OF the person arrested.
1.-The insane and feeble minded are
often among the classes to be cared
for temporarily. Women are often
detained before having a trial. or are
obliged to serve out their time for
longer or shorter period in the po-
lice station. Sometimes good inno-
cent women in travelling are delayed
by trains or deceived. are out OF
money, and no friend to look to for
help; such cases, often entirely inno-
cent. seem suspicious and policemen
are on the look out for all such, and
we're it not for department for
women and cared for by such, they
would be under the suspicion of men
and more or less associated with the
criminal class. Then again the dan
gers attending the arrest of young
girls and the need of motherly coun
sci. if found guilty. a help to take q
step in the right direction.
'.In view of these facts the Chris
tan women of Davenport, more than
six years ago since. after considera-
BILE effort. secured police matron.
During the last two years her re-
ports show that 9S1 cases have come
under her supervision. OF these by
far the greater number were arrested
for violation of the law, and this
class ranged from the hardest crimi-
nal to mere children. A large num-
Der were girls in teens. just at the
threshold or recently entered upon q
life of shame. We cannot conceive
the results for good that will come
to this large num.er of person thus
looming in close contact in these
hours of severe trial with a good
Christian womaE."
