BYRD OPPOSED
MONEY FOR HOME
Urged Committee Not to Give
Help to Chesterfield Institution
as at Present Conducted.

Richard Evelyn Byrd corrected yes
terday an erroneous impression drawn
from the statement that he appeared
before the Senate Finance Committee
In connection with nm appropriation for
the Virginia Home and Industrial
School for Girls. In Chesterfield County.
Mr.. Byrd went before the committee to
protest against the use OF State money
FOR the home as at present conducted,
and not as It's friend. In explaining his
remarks to the committee Mr. Byrd
said last night:
i appeared before tho committee TO
protest against appropriating the States
money to that so-called school 80 long
as II Is conducted ut tho place and
In the manner It now Is. gave to tho
committee the following reasons:
cd a community suburban to the
city of Richmond is not, and can never
be, proper place for such cor
rectional institution. even though IL
were well managed.
Cd The management OF the home in
the past and at present Is utterly in
adequate and Ineffective
"(3) That the law-abiding citizens OF
that community suffer in,olerable
ton In that place of vicious. incor-
rigiblc. perverted girls. who are al
lowed to roam the neighborhood
90 That in view OF the testimony of
Mrs. Light. who is supposed to be the
manager, though she Is often away
from the institution days at n time
the condition of mental and physical
degereracy and moral perverslon OF a
majority OF the girls received there is
so shocking and horrible that the
( Commonwealth OF Virginia cannot be
held free from censure as long as her
laws permit little girls who may be re-
formed or who are simply destitute "a
be sent there to acquire moral conta-
gton from the loathsome perverts
sociate in close physical contact
't5) That the eminent gentlemen
who are nominally In charge OF the In
stitution could not and did not have
any Idea OF the sort OF place into which
the institution has developed. nor did
| the members OF the General Assem-
bly, who voted for the appropriation.
"C6) That II is proper governmental
function to segregate and take care OF
these moral perverts. who are. In fact
dangerous lunatics. but this should be
done In some institution OF a acmipcnal
nature. where adquatc restraints arc
provided and proper treatment Insured
"G) That should the State take over
the care of these unfortunates. under
no circumstances should the institu-
ton be located where II Is now. but
should be an adjunct TO one of the
insane asylums. or be placed in some
community remote from n populous
city"

JUVENILE COURT
SHOWS ITS NEEDS
Asks Finance Committee for
$500 to Carry On Work
During Year.

The officers OF the Juvenile Court ap-
peared before the Council Finance
Committee last night and asked for
$3.50 for the maintenance of the court
during 1914, this being an increase Of
$1,000 over the appropriation last year
The current appropriation carries n
provision for the renting Of permanent
quarters for the detention homes. -.
main increase is represented by a 5000
advance In the salary Of the male pro-
baton officer and 5000 increase In the
salary Of the woman probation officer.
Tho sum OF 1900 out of the appro-
priation made for the Juvenile Court
last year was returned to the city,
due to the fact that the court did not
succeed in securing quarters for the
detention homes. although money for
the rent was set aside.

nile Court, read by DR.. H. y. C. Mac

there were 500 arrests. Twenty ono
children were cared for who were Ill
treated or neglected. Twenty-Five were
fugitives from their parents and twen-
ty-six were exposed to vicious or i'm
moral influences.
In dsposing of tho cases the judge
dismissed 1873. fined 1876, put 166 under
the charge of the probation officers.
! and discharged 121 with warning.
SiXty-fve were ordered whipped by
their parents. Only lis were found
subjects for institutional care.
A feature of tho report was the
showing that only twenty-five repeat
ers' or ehild6en who had before ap-
brought up on new charges. Fifteen
of the second offenders were white
boys, FIVE negro boys and two negro
girls.
Major Lawrence IT. Price OF tho
Richmond Grays, appeared before the
committee with request for an ap-
preparation of 1920 to cover final
points in the construction of the new
armory and current expenses. OF this
total, $1,000 is wanted for lockers.
