NEED MATRON AT
FIRST STATION
Police Board Is Deeply Impressed
by Mrs. Jobson's Argument
and Appeal.
MATTER UP TO CITY COUNCIL
Commissioner Manning Believes
Conditions Demand Christian
Influence.

Realizing the need OF matron at
the First Police station. many local
ORGANIZATIONS have begun work with
the hope OF arousinS the city to the
Importance of providing for such an
officer. Mrs. George May Jobson, one
Of the most Jealous temperance work
ers in Richmond, has taken the mat
ter up with members OF the Police Com
mission. from whom SIC has received
assurance Of hearty cooperation.
Exactly what these temperance as
sociations desire is very clearly cN-
planned In the following letter which
Mrs. Jobson has sent to Police Com
missioner Christopher Manning, ,Ir, of
jefferson Ward:
Hon. Chris. Manning. City:
My Dear Mr. Manning.-I have tried
to see YOU to have personal con-
vcrsation in regard to Il matter that
is very near to the heart of many
ladies OF this city.
We feel that the time has come
when Richmond should have a matron
at the First Police Station. There is
not city in the United states OF it's
size without one or more: even Nor
folk has had one for years.
WAS so fortunate as to have n
conversation with Mr.. Douglas Gordon.
lie is Interested. and assured me that
he thought YOU would I've. that YOU
usually agreed on such matters.
You know that there has never been
time in the history OF the city when
so many women and girls have been
arrested as there has been in the
last six months They arc taken TO
tho Police station. and not n woman to
say kind work TO them or to help
in any way
We believe that If we could have
good Christian woman there many
girls would be saved from life OF
shame.
Trusting that YOU will vote to re-
commend this to the Council asking
that they install matron as soon as
possible and thanking YOU for your
help and interest. am yours for His
service, GEORGIA MAY JOBSON
Mnnning Commcnds Plan.
Commissioner Manning said ycstor-
day that the weight of Mrs .Iobsons
argument was bound TO impress his
associates on the board just as it
would impress members of the Coun-
ell. These good women. said Mr.
Manning, are working unselitshly for
the uplift of humanity Mrs Jobson
puts the facts into concrete form. 1t
is unfortunate that our socin! condi-
lions are such that police officers arc
occasionally forced to arrest women
But law is law. If We can do any
thing 10 alleviate the distress of these
unfortunates it should be done.
quite agree with Mrs Jobson that q
good christian matron at the First
station could direct the girl prisoners
toward higher and better paths
Christian influence Is needed in a pris-
on Just as IL is needed elsewhere. and

PLEADING GUILTY.

Just what influence has entered the
tends to induce such frequent confess
tneds to induce such frequent confes-
sion Of guilt by defendants in recent
cases Of grave crime is not apparent,
but nevertheless, in q series of the
sensational" cases which have been
fully exploited In the press during the
last few months, confessions and pleas
Of guilty have been in ascendency.
Whatever has contributed to these
cases Of guilt-admission, the general
public can but feel gratifed that the
forces behind officers Of the law are
80 powerful as to overwhelm the
guilty and bring upon them the reali-
zation that to deny guilt is a vain
course, because in the end, after the
expenditure of large sums of money
and exhaustive legal battling, guilt
will be proved and established In
all Of the more recent murder cases
where guilt has been acknowledged by
the apprehended criminal, lack of
money has not figured as a ground
for the plea, nor lack of skilled and
undaunted counsel. Moreover, the
avenues of escape for the criminal In
these days of technicalities. in the
courts have been frequently and thor
oughly speculated upon and written
about by well paid magazine contrib
utors. And counsel for the defense
usually knows the game too well to
be ignorant of his clients chances for
eyading punishment. But that there
Is sorne hidden force dominating in
the big cases" must be conceded.
Perhaps. after all, it is good, old
fashioned conscience that refuses to
starve or dry up, even in this day or
Decentralization. That still, small
voice, If given just faint show, can
yet reach far into the depths of che
heart. So long as civilization obtains,
the conscience will live, and while it
lives, those who put their trust in
riG,-. viii not be betrayed, and truly,
it wou.l be a very worn conscience
that could sleep upon a murderer's
pillow.
