CHIEFS INDORSE
JUVENILE court
Major Werner Finds Much Sen
timent for It at Big
Convention.

On his return from Rochester,, Major
Werner, who has not missed a conven-
ton OF tho Association of Chiefs of Po-
lice of the United States and Canada
since his election to head of the local
department spoke in glowing terms Of
the conventions work and the cordial
welcome which was accorded to the
visitors.
Nearly every important city in the
United States was represented, and
there were several representatives, from
the country across the border. Many
important questions were discussed.
among them The countrywide neces-
sity for courts for Juvenile Offenders,
Few were arrayed against the need Of
such courts, and Major Werner, whose
views on the subject are known here,
was a hearty advocate for the general
establishment of such courts.
Men who had been connected with
their various police departments for
the greater part of their lives smoke in
favor of the movement, characterizinS

to be a success. Major Werner is hope
full that there may be Juvenile court
established here. The movement has
many advocates in Richmond among
philanthropists, members of the City
Council and others interested in the
welfare Of the city youth, and II is
confidently expected that the day when

With the nomination OF Marshall B.

that he will not be candidate for re-

1t seems TO be true that legally Mr..

According to officials at the Capitol,

quest OF members so that the Gunst

name of the rider, can be taken up and
acted upon in legal manner.
The items Of the original ordinance
aggregate S1.i00.O0o. and include the
cost OF the new Mayo bridge and its
site; three new public school build
ings; the purchase of the Ford's Hotel
property: sewers. gas and water for

These items had already been passed
