The news that the grand jury had

Chicago. There was a warning. how
ever. when certain persons who had
left the city were served with SUBJ

the warning did not come in time to
enable a number of valuable witnesses
to get from under. consequently they
will appear in court shortly.

RAY REPORTS
CONDITIONS
ARE BAD
North and Calumet Town
ship Truant Officer Elk
poses Neglect of Parents;
Many Cases Are Tried in
Juvenile Court.

Truant Officer w. p. Ray of North
and Calumet Townships. stated to a
TIMES reporter today that conditions
among the school children in regard to
truancy and delinquency at the present
time are worse than they have been for
a number of years back.
Last Saturday in the Juvenile court
at Crown Point over which Judge W. C.
Mcmahon presides five cases disposed
of and eleven more cases were filed on
charges of school children smoking
cigarettes, hardness. burglary and US
ing vile language on school grounds.
The charges were preferred by Truant
Officer w. P. Ray.
Judge Mcmahon has little sympathy
with the parents of these children and
has made it plain that If these parents
would spend more time caring for their
children there would be less cause for
truancy and other juvenile charges.
The juvenile court does not sit to
punish but to teach the children to re-
spect the law and to respect the rights
of others
Parents Are Reprimsnded.
In every case where child is
brought before the Juvenile court 1t is
necessary that the parents accompany
the child 1t is then that the parents
are made to feel that they cannot neg
lect their children and if they do they
will be taken from them.
Another question has arisen which
was advocated in THE TIMES. some
months ago and that is for the county
commissioners provide an industrial
school or farm for Lake county instead
of sending children to state institutions
According to Sheriff Grant and County
Superintendent f. F. HIGHWAY hardly
| a week passes but what from one tt
three children are not sent to state
| institutions from Lake county.
1T would be a saving to the tag
payers of Lake county" said w. P. Ray
today, for the county pays annual,
to state institutions for children's keeI
than would cost to maintain a school o

Children Injured
Ordinary Cathartics and
Pills and Harsh Physic
Cause Distressing
Complaints.

You cannot be over-careful in the
selection of medicine for children. Only
the very gentlest bowel medicine
should ever be given, except in emery
ency cases. Ordinary pills, cathartics
and purgatfves are apt to do more harm
than good. They cause gripping. nausea
and other distressing after-effects that
are frequently misunderstanding and
|life-lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexall Orderlies as the safest and
most dependable remedy for constipa-
ton and associate bowel disorders. We
have such absolute faith in the virtues
of this remedy that we sell it on our
guarantee of money back in every in
stance where it fails to give entire sat
isfaction. and we urge all in need OF
such medicine to try it at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like candy.
They are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, gripping. excessive
| looseness or other undesirab BILE effects
They have a very natural action upon
the glands and organs with which they
come in contact. act a positive and

the nerves and muscles. and restore the
bowels and associate organs to more

Laws In Other States.
In most Of the States the laws now
clearly define what powers shall be
exercised by trust companies, forbid
ding underwriting, acting as guaranty
agents or surety. The fact that Del
aware is practically the only stats
where so-called trust companies" are
given broad corporation powers, per-
hitting them to transact business
wholly foreign to trust companies, has
been responsible for a large number
Of such charters being taken out by
promoters. They trade on the good
name Of trust companies" and clear
! ly have no right to use that name. In
number Of States legislative action
has been taken which forbid such
companies. having charters from
other States, and aimed particularly
at Delaware charters, from doing
business within such States. Such a
law was passed several years ago IN
New York and compelled several Dell
aware trust companies to close up
their offices here.
II is manifestly unfair to the trust
companies Of Delaware in particular,
which accept trusteeships and have an
honorable record in both their trust
and banking administration, to permit
promotion concerns to do business
under the same title. A number Of
such concerns are now in operation
in other States, but refuse to send in
any reports, not being required to file
official statements with the State
banking authorities where they do
their principal business.
There has been nothing in the en-
tire history of trust companies so gem
orally discreditable to the situation as
. the business transacted and the NUM-
Der of failures caused by trust COM
panies" operating under Delawar9
charters. With less than half a dozen
exceptions the States Of the Union
have passed laws which protect tho

Editor OF THE EVENING JIURNAL:
The bill pending In the Legislature,
designed to afford proper protection
IN the employment OF the title of

porate name OF any chartered financial
institutions organized under the gen
eral corporation laws of Delaware. is
one OF the most important measures
before that body.
Ihere are countless reasons why
TINS Dill should be passed, and the fact
that It Is opposed by the charter-mak-
ing companies is the best proof that
such protection is needed. No other
state in the Union supplies such easy
and elastic facilities for the organiza-
ton OF so-called trust companies" {"
which may transact a purely specula-
tive business, and engage in transac-
tions wholly foreign to that of legiti-
