Child Welfare Laws

Washington, N Q v, I5.-
: Children Jared well in legisla-
ton for their protection enac.
ted during 1915, according te
a complication of the laws made
by the chldrens bureau. Ac-
cording to statement given
out iorty-hve State and terri
torial legislatures and the nat-
ional legislature passed laws
affecting children.
Arkaness, Florida and Utah
have commissions to report on
the needs of the feeble mind
ed; New Jersey, a commission
to prepare a State program for
reorganization OF public care OF
detectives, dependents and de
liquents; Missouri a n d New
Hampshire, commissions n
the needs Of the blind; Della
ware, a commission on vocat-
ioral education; Idaho, com
mission to report on t h e
need tor a minimum wage law;
Florida and Indiana, cofnmiss-
ions on the need for mothers
pensions, a n d California, a
commission to STUDY social in
surance.
The bureau says that the APP
pointment of these commiss-
ions indicates a growing reali-
cation that benevolent intent
cannot safely be accepted as
substitute Tor the careful for
mutation of statues for social
betterment. The subjects to
which study is directed are all
OF immediate concern to chill
dren, and the States are thus
fairly committed to policy Of
selecting and harmo. lizing pro-
visions which leads plainly to-
ward the collection and codify-
ing OF all laws relating to chill
dren.
AS showing the great amount
OF chlldren's legislation, the
bureau says that twenty.seven
States have amended their
provisions for dependent chill
dren; eighteen have simproved
their treatment of juvenile de-
linquents; sixteen have stren-
gthened their child labor law;
fourteen have concerned them
selves with the needs OF the
mentally detective or feeble
minded; three States and the
District OF Columbia were add
ed to those specifically permit
ting the use OF public school
buildings as social centers. and
nine amended or for the frs,
time passed a playground law.
and tour States passed a mod
ell vital statistics law in which
the children's bureau is inter
ested because it considers com
plete birth registration OF fun
damental importance to chile

Wilson'S Critic
Is Reimstated

Washington, Nov, IS
President Wilson today in
structed Postmaster-Gen
Bulleson to reinstate George
Burkitt, removed as assistant
postmaster at Winnetka, ILL.,,
becaused he criticised the pres
ident for his engagement to be
married.
The president qualified his
instructions by telling the post
master-general Burkitt should
be restored to his position if
there were no other charges
against him.
Announcement OF this &C
ton was made today BY Secre
tafy Tumulty after bliet con
ference with President Wilson.
1t was said unofficially that the
president entirely disapproved
OF discharging Burkitt for max
ing the remarks accredited to
him.
Ia published correspond
ence between Burkltt and POST
master Kloepfer. Of Winnet-
ka. it was stated that Burkitt
had been gwen dement's for
unsatisfactory service. i hat
Burkitt denied. The presl-
dent did not even 60 into that
feature in his instructions to
Postmaster-General Bu'leson
but made it clear that Burkitt
should not be discharged for
merely expressing the views
that man should not become
engaged within year after the
death OF his wife.
1t was stated at the white
house that Postmaster-Gener-
al Burleson had NO knowledge
OF the case before it was called
to his attention by publication
in newspapers. The discharge
of Burkitt was approved by
Assistant Postmaster General
Roper, after an exchange OF
letters with Burkitt.
Burkett protested he had
not had an opportunity to re-
ply to the charges as reqnlreo
bv civil service laws. Mr., 70
per informed him that the law
had been complied with by :
letter sent to Burkitt by the
postmaster notifying him 0
the charge IF showing dlsre'
gard to the president
White house Officials were
annoyed BY the publicity giver
TO the case, and it was expect
ed that Postmaster-G Genera
Burleson would act immediate
" on the Presidents instruc-
tiOnS.

INDICTMENT
AGAINST linn
RULED valid.
Next Steps Probably Will
Be a Motion for a
Continuance.
RACE BILLS UP NEXT.
Attorneys Wanted Judge
Raymond to Send opin-
ion Up for Review.

The motion argued in Circuit Court
yesterday to quash the seven felony
indictments against James R. Linn,
formerly cashier Of the Citizens Dol
lar Savings Bank, was oyerruled this
forenoon by Judge W. s. Raymond In
sofar as 1T effects tssaseyenth indict,
ment on which Prosecuting Attorney
Tusca Morris has expressed his in,
tentiont Of trying the case.
This Indictment charges Linn with
paying to L. g. Race or causing to
be paid to him $z9,630.96 on checks
drawn by Race despite the alleged
fact that Race had no deposits whatso.
ever in the bank. The payments, the
Indictment alleges. were made between
February 2, 1914, and June 10. 1914.
The indictments are 30 yoluminous
that Judge Raymond did not have time
tosexamine the other six, but inasmuch
as the reasons advanced by the de.
tense for quashing all the indictments
were much the same in character 1t Is
inferred that in case q decision should
he required on the first six, indict-
mentsithat the court will declare them
good also.
In9regard to- the fifth, sixth and lsey
enth indictments, the defense urged
,sflifee reasons why they should be
quashed. and the ruling Of The court
waste the effect that all these reasons
we're isuff ficient. The ilrsts allegation
Ras that. q double offense was charged
III q assingleS count in't these indictments,
Il being alleged that the common law
offenseI OF iembezzlement and. the sta.
tutory offense gofs abstracting funds
could not legally be Joined in one
count. The second reason advanced by
the defense was that in following the
Language of the statute the pleader, in
preparing the indictments, did not give
sufficieat details Of the crime. The
third reason was that the Indictment
does not; allege the einsolyency of l.. G..
Race, the man named as having re-
ceiyedI the money alleged to have been
paid out OF the bank Illegally by. Linn.
After the court had ruled that the
contentious Of the defense were in.
sufficient to cause the indictment to
be quashed, w. s. Meredith, attorney
for linn, moved that the ruling Of
Judge Raymond in this matter be GER
tiled to the supreme court Of the
state for review. Prosecuting Attor-
hey Morris objected to this as an ex-
traordinary,, unusual and unnecessary
procedure. Judge Raymond overruled
themotion. A motion for continuance
probably will be the next move on
the part of the attorneys for the de-
tense. ~.
TIL o'clock the jurors were dis
missed until 1.30 o'clock and the court
took o recess until that time. The ar
guments on the motion to quash the
indictments against L. G, Race charged
with aiding and .abetting9 Linn in en-
bezzling large sums Of money from
the Citizens Dollar Savings Bank
were mot started yesterday, the entire
day being taken up with the arguments
In the Linn case. No business was
transacted by the Circuit Court this
forenoon other than that pertaining to
the Linn case.
