Question Of Jurisdiction.

That a question of jurisdiction may be
involved in the proposal that the Com
missioners recommend to Congress an
appropriation with which to construct a
permanent building for the Juvenile Court
OF the District of Columbia became
known today.
While salaries of Juvenile Court off,
cials are carried IN the annual appro-
priation acts for the District, thers is
said 10 b. no Law under which the Com
missioners have any additional authority
respecting this institution, and rs re-
suit the question has arisen as to
whether the local government heads
should originate legislation designed TO
obtain new quarters for the court. The
opinion has been expressed that this Is
a matter which might more properly
originate with the judge OF the tribunal.
Commissioner Siddons today stated that
he favors a new Juvenile Court building
but the Commissioners. as body, have
not considered what action they may take
m regard TO the matter. IL is believed
that the District heads will first look into
the question of their jurisdiction before
considering any other phases Of the prop
osition The board may take up the mat

VERY SEVERE SENTENCES
IN STORE FOR "DRUNKS"
Judge Mullowny Declares Future
Purpose From Bench in Dealing
With Old Offenders.

The "drunks' who come to the Police
Court repeatedly now face very severe
sentences for violations Of this part of
the excise law.
Judge Mullowny. in sentencing Daniel
Hart. who was convicted today Of being
drunk. stated from the bench that the
thirty-day term which has been the
usual penalty for getting drunk since
extended to a long term in cases Of old
offenders
In speaking Of his statement after
ward Judge Mullowny said:
Under the new excise law a penalty
of a fine of not less than so and not
more than 500. or Imprisonment in the
workhouse for not less than five days
nor more than thirty rays, or both. is
laid down as the penalty for being con-
victed of drunkenness.
"At first glance this would seem to
indicate that although the court could
impose fine of 500 on a man for being
drunk. yet it could only compel him to
serve thirty days in the workhouse in
default of the fine

the thirty days provided for, and in ad-
dition fine them SlG0 and make the de-
fault in case of non-payment of the fine

Suffrage Question Vexes.

The action of the woman delegates
yesterday in voting not to organize ma
tional Catholic women's union is still
a chief topic in the lobbies of the con-
vention hall
While a lack of financial support is
given as the main reason for the action
OF the women it is reported from good
sources that the main topic OF the
women at the closed meeting yesterday
when the negative vote was taken was
Archbishop 5. G. Messmer's ruling that
the women must not discuss the suf-
frage question. The womens orSaniZa-
tion was known to have been Arch
bishop Messmers pet idea for the last
two years. and it was also known that
he firmly opposed woman suffrage as
an element in the proposed league.
The movement however, is still Il
live one. and when the federation meets
next year it is expected that another
concerted move will be made to form
the league. whether suffrage is allow
ed to be debated or not.
Denounced in Resolutions.
Socialism, immoral dances. anti-Catho-
lie press reports and the action of mine
owners in Lead, S. D., were scored yes
terday in the adoption of resolutions
during the afternoon session of the
American Federation.
The convention decided to petition the
President and Congress, asking that the
United States make a vigorous protest
against the despoilation of the church
properties in Portugal. subject which
was brought to the attention of the con-
vention by Rev. Joseph Husslein, S. j.,
of New York city
The report of the social section of the
resolution committee was made by Chair
man F. w. Immekus of Pittsburgh, and
went on record as favorng the labor
unions so long as they did not mix in
politics and exerted their influence only
toward the betterment of the workingman
from working standpoint.
Graduation exercises of public schools
and denominational churches were scored
in the report of the educational commit
tee, as presented by Rev. Mgr. Patrick
j. Supple of Boston. The resolutions
proclaimed the inherent right of the
Catholic child to a Catholic education.
and warned all parents and guardians to
give their charges a thorough Catholic
education.

Many Children Face the Court.

Mai. Sylvester quoted figures from the
latest report of the court to show the
Importance Of the court. More than two
thousand children were brought INTO the
Juvenile Court last year for misde-
meanors. d little less than half of them
white.
The Importance of the courts is ad-
mirably SHOWN by these figures. the
major added ''and IL is we'll to give the
proper heed to this question. The Juvenile
Court Is unquestionably one OF the most
important courts in the governmental
system"
When he was questioned about the site
favored by Judge Latimer for the pro-
posed new courthouse. Maj. Sylvester
said that he could see no objection to the
erection of the proper building on the
northeast corner OF Judiciary Square.
THE name itself conveys the idea that
the ground has been set aside for the
erection of court buildings. and a build
ing corresponding in outward design and
size with the Court of Appeals building.
which stands on the northwest corner OF
the square. would be anything but un-
slightly. making the arrangement OF the
buildings on the square symmetrical. and
would not impair the plan OF having the
courts there surrounded by park.

tenn is really borne by the police. as they
must take care of the children before
they are taken to court. and sometimes
they are in the charge of the ponce anu
