DELINQUENT GIRL !
THE SUBJECT OF
POINTED ADDRESS

PHILADELPHIA May u.-"The Delinquent
Girl was discussed at the forenoon meet
ing OF the National Conference OF Chari-
ties and Corrections. The subject was
presented by Miss Vida II. Francis OF this
city. She said in parts
'The radical difference in proportion be-
tween boy and girl delinquents In ratio
OF the nature OF crime committed by each
will serve to illustrate the point which
most desire to emphasize-that the prob
lem of the one is not the problem OF the
other.
''The recent wonderful strides OF biologi-
cal psychology make IL seem incredible
that our juvenile courts are still applying
the same methods OF reform to boys and
girls.
"The Judge OF juvenile court has three
courses open to him:
81 To send the girl back to her same
environments under the care OF pro-
bationer.
80 To place her in good home
through the probationer or some child
placing agency.
"3 To send her 10 training school.
"A girl morally tainted should obviously
not be returned to the scene OF her In
lection, and only in case sof trivial mis-
demeanors or I'm the exceptional case or
a good. normal home can girl be safely
so returned. For her misdemeanor has
proven that the home Is unable 10 exert
proper influence or power.
mo words can be strong enough TO urge
Judges not TO send girls who are actually
morally tainted into homes"

PETITION FOR REMOVAL OF
CLARK COUNTY OFFICIAL.
CHARGE VIOLATION OF LAW
AIIeee That Sheriff Dyer WiIfuIIy
Neglected to Destroy Slot Ma
chimes and Showed Unlawful Fa-
vors to Friends Who Operated Sa-
looms.

The women of Thorp, Clark county,
shall perform his full duty according
to law respecting the public destruc-
ton of slot machines and other par
aphernalia, and are now seeking to
have the sheriff ousted from Office on
the ground that he has wilfully re-
Trained from doing his official duty.
A complaint and petition for the
removal from Office of John Dwyer,
sheriff of Clark county, have been
filed in the executive Office. The
complaint is signed by Belle M.
Parkhill, wife of George B. Parkhill,
former district attorney and now
postmaster at Thorp and four other
women of that village. The complaint
charges the sheriff with wilful
neglect of his official duties.
IL is charged that in June, 1905,
Sheriff Dwyer seized three slot ma
chimes and some other gambling de-
vices in the saloons in the village of
Thorp; that, instead of publicly de-
stroying these machines, as prescrib-
ed by the statutes, he permitted them
to be spirited away to the village OF
Owen 1t is charged that two of the
slot machines were The property OF
one of the sheriff's deputies, who is
the proprietor of saloon at Thorp.
The complaint also charges that the
sheriff at other times confiscaCed slot
machines, but that, instead of de-
stroying them publicly, he destroyed
them privately.
Governor Davidson has ordered an
investigation and has cited Sheriff
Dwyer to appear before him at the
executive Office on Monday, July 80.
Second Assistant Attorney General
Tucker has been appointed to repre-
sent the compliments. 1t is probable
that a court commissioner will be ap
pointed to take testimony and report
to the governor.

INJUNCTION ON CHURCH.
Court Asked to Help in Fight Against
Union.

Atlanta, Ga, July 11.-Charging
that Rev. George H. Mack, pastor of
the first Cumberland Presbyterian
church of Atlanta, and his associates
are endeavoring to divert the church
property to what is known as the
Presbyterian church in the United
States of America, a number of Cum
berland members of the local church
yesterday secured an injunction to
prevent Mr.. Mack and his associates
from carrying out their intentions.
The effect of the local order is to
nullify the action taken by the general
assembly of the Cumberland and Pres
byterian churches uniting the two de-
nominations. The pertainers claim
the Presbyterian church south had no
part in The union effected, and that
many Cumberland Presbyterians do
not recogize the authority of the
Decatur, H., assembly, which author
lied the union. The case will be
argued in September.
