MAKE LIGHT OF SENTENCE
YOUNG GIRLS ARRESTED IN WINE
ROOM SING AT THE JAIL.
Their Tears Soon Turned to Laughter
Sentenced to the Industrial
School for Girls.

Ethel Pollard, fourteen years old, 1716
Prospect street; Leona Pfiffer, sixteen years
old, 1920 Garfield place, and Lulu Astry.
fourteen years old, 226 North Laurel street,
were committed to the Industrial School
for Girls by Judge Stubs, of the Juvenile
Court, yesterday morning, and when the
sentence was pronounced the girls all wept
in a chorus, and one of them expressed
wish that she were dead. After they had
been taken to the county Jail, however,
their tears were soon dried and they proved
to the matron and the sheriff that the tears
they shed in the Juvenile Court room were
of the crocodile order. They sang, cursed
and laughed, and when told that they
should take their sentence more to heart
said they did not care if they were under
year and had planned to have fine old
time" when they were released.
The girls were arrested several days ago
by the probation officers of the Juvenile
Court charged with freQuenting wfnerooms
and other base establishments. They were
arrested in the winerooms above A. s.
Griswold's saloon, 146 South Illinois street,
last Sunday.
The mothers were in court yesterday
when sentence upon their hayward daugh-
tiers was read by the judge, and their gen.
uine grief excited the sympathy of all pres
ent but they all agreed that they were
unable to control their girls and believe
the experience at the Girls Industrial
School will do them good.
Ethel Pollard was taken from resort
near the Union Station several weeks ago
and given a lecture by Superintendent Taffe,
of the police department. and she is well
known to the city patrOlmen as a hopeless
case of youthful depravity. The other girls
were never arrested before.

in Morrison's Hall the question Of the Sat

While the association did not take any ac-

clear in their attitude towards the move
ment. The Saturday half holiday does not
affect them, and in considering the question
they are acting for interests outside their
own organization.
The movement of the Saturday half holi-
day is limited exclusively to the clerks of
dry goods stores, who are an unorganized
body. belonging 10 no unions Notwith-

TRAMPS IN COUNTY JAILS.
Secretary Butler Says the Practice
Encourages Mendfcancy.

Encourages Mendfcancy.
Secretary Butler, Of the State Board Of
Charities, criticises sheriffs for housing
tramps In county jails. The practice is not
a good one. the secretary says, and wher-
ever it is done to any extent the county
Jail is advertised by the tramps as place
where they can get a nights lodging for
nothing and have their freedom the next
day.
In Laporte county, for example, out of
AS tramps housed in the Jail. 44S were given
their freedom the day following their in
generation, according to reports received
by the State Board of Charities.
Making the jail boarding house for
trampS simply encourages that class to
come in greater numbers" said Mr. Butler
THE entire vicinity suffers from their dep
relations, and wholly unnecessary expense
is entailed upon the county treasury"
At the request of Mr.. Butler ATTORNEY
General Miller has handed down the follow
ing Interpretation of the law upon this
subject:
1.-The sheriff can only receive tramps when
committed to- the Jail upon some charge
before some magistrate. When so COM
mitted he Is entitled to compensation at
the legal rate for boarding such prisoner
until he is released by order of the court
before whom the charge is preferred
THE sheriff has no right upon his own
authority TO commit a person TO Jail and
release him upon his own authority and
the county has no authority in law TO pay
for the board of person so committed and
so released.
THE sheriff is entitled to 40 cents a day
for the board OF prisoners, and this has
been repeatedly held to mean a full day. and
If the prisoner Is in the Jail foY one meal
the sheriff is entitled To pay for only the
one meal. IL the prisoner is in the Jail for
one night and receives two meals supper
and breakfast. the sheriff would be entitled
TO pay for two-thirds of a day. and no
more; IL the prisoner is in Jail one night
and does not receive any meal whatever
the sheriff is entitled TO no pay whatever
for boarding him"
