GRACE BOWLES' MOTHER
COMPLAINS OF DELAY
Says Girl Who Attempted Escape
From House of Detention Has
Become Embittered.

Mrs, Flavius J. Bowles, rs V street
northwest, mother of Grace Bowles
sixteen years old. who jumped from
second-story window at the house
of detention Thursday morning and
broke her leg, visited that institution
and expressed indignation at the de-
lay in having her daughter before the
Juvenile Court.
Mrs Bowles said she was unable to
understand why her daughter had to
be detained a week or more before
being taken to court. She did not
want the court to send the child to
an institution. she said. but wanted
the judge to give her good advice. and
she saw no reason why that could not
have been done without delay.
The daughters long detention. Mrs.
Bowles told Sergt Stevens. had en-
Uttered the child against her and had
been the means of defeating the OBJ
ject sought to be attained. Sergt.
Stevens reported the affair to Maj.
Pullman and related the story of Mrs.
Bowles' visit
1t is admitted by police officials that
the house of detention is not properly
equipped for caring for many persons
at a time. AT times it is so crowded
that boys have to sleep on the moor.
1t is probable that the agita ton
growing out of the injury sustained by
Grace Bowles will result in an effort
being made to procure adequate ac-
commodations for minors. although
Maj. Pullman has not yet given much
thought to the question Judge l-atl-
mer may ask for an increased force
of probation officers in order to avoid
long delays. which, it is stated. are
made necessary by investigations.
