FOR ADULT OFFENDERS.
Suggestion That Probation Officers Be
Appointed.

Appointed.
DR.. A. s. Orne, who has spent the past
ten years of his life studying the Juvenile
Court system and trying to accomplish
good for juvenile offenders, called upon the
judges of the Police Court yesterday, and
suggested the appointment of probation
officer for adults. He was informed that
Judge Mullowny had already given the mat
ter some thought. The judge tod him he
was using the ministers as probation Of
fcers for adults When the offenders come
before him he ascertains what church they
have attended, and recommends that they
go from the court and confer with the min
listers.
Judge Mullowny told him of an incident
in which minister objected to having such
persons referred to his house. The minis
ter said a probattoner called at his home

and caused his wife annoyance. 1t is
thought the court will make an effort dur
ing the next session of Congress to have an
