Mr.. Ten Eyck added, however. that when
the whole matter was disclosed II would be
found that Ward had not deceived any one.
and he doubted II there was any such letter
IN existence as the one which Ward was
reported to have sent to the group Of Taft
men IN Westchester who got together
early IN February. As the story was given
out two DAYS ago the men who were TAX.

Whatever the truth OF the story il Is a

portion Of Westchester county that lies in

the chance next Tuesday to make any

means OF looking after adult probauoners

Timothy j. Shea, chief probation officer
in the Syracuse Police Court, said that most
Of the men placed on probation charged
with public intoxication or other offences
were lacking in judgment and foresight
In cases OF this kind the probation officer
should frequently constitute himself more
or less Of a manager Of the domestic arairs
Of those on probation. He cited instances
showing how offenders had been started III
the right path by being induced to move
into more sanitary quarters and better
neghborhoods and by being taught TO spend
their money more wisely.
There have been times when muscular
persuasion is necessary" he added. An
other suggestion | might make is TO keep
