BY JANE whitaker

cause he was quarTeing in the street
with another boy, or because he was
standing on street corner, or be-
cause he was playing ball in the
street, or because he was playing a
mouth organ, or because the police
officer thought he might be sus-
piciOus character, and he was taken
to police station and locked up in a
filthy cell over night and perhaps
even kept there without booking for
a couple of days and finally brought
into court to be tried on a charge as
absurd as that-how would you feel?
How ever you would feel if this
happened to your boy, l am asking
you to feel as you read this story of
what is happening every day in the
week to some other mothers boy and
what may happen to yours today or
tomorrow, for it is time that wave
of protest against this outrage perpe-
trated against our boys should be
aroused.
The report of the boys court just
issued shows that out of GOT cases
OF arrests for dlSorderly conduct, 561
were discharged because of the alb
surdity of the charges against the
boys.
For quarreling, 1877 we're arrested;
for lettering on street corners, Sc
were arrested; for sleeping out at
night in barns, wagons and door
ways, 40 were arrested. twenty-five
boys were picked up on suspicion,
and among other charges on which
boys were taken in custody by po-
lice officers, locked up in station
houses in filthy cells and hauled to
the boys court handcuffed to officers,
there are these: Playing horseshoes
in street; calling copper" after
officer; hollering "dago" after ice
man; singing on the bridge in park;
and two boys were arrested and
brought into court for playing Tip
perary on mouth organ and singing

UNLESS INDISCRIMINATE ARRESTING OF BOYS
=: IS STOPPED NO BOY is SAFE

And out OF the total number of TO-
416 boys arrested, boys ranging in
years from II to 21-men in the
making LESS than 5000 were found
gdIlLy OL any Offense, though the
$500 who were discharged had suf-
Tered the indignity of arrest, the hui
initiation of it and had learned just a
little contempt for the law that could
be guilty of such an error.
Again, the boy who has been ar
rested on a trifing charge and re-
leased is in added danger of a second
arrest for a more trifing offense. A
probation officer told me yesterday
that his advice to boys who had been
arrested would be that they leave
Chicago, for they would have little
chance in Chicago thereafter, how
ever innocent might be the things
they would do.
Another jeopardy in which a boy
is placed is the fact that the police
department makes out all complaints.
The officer may charge the boy with
grand larceny when he has been gull
ty of a misdemeanor. A case of that
sort was in the boys court yester-
day. The boy was charged with
stealing an automobile worth $500.
What he was really guilty of was mis-
chieVously taking the auto to drive it
around the block in order to show
his chum that he could drive a car
and he should have been charged
with driving an automobile without
the owners consent"
The danger that boy stood in was
very clear to me. Judge Dolan made
the usual statement to him that is
made in such cases, that he need not
make any statement unless he desir-
ed, as the proceeding in the boys
court was merely a preliminary hear
ing and not trial. The boy did not
know what to do and appealed to his
father. His father told him to make
a statement and his statement clear

ceived at the previous meeting, at
which time all estimates were turned
down. The accepted bid, however,
includes the vault without a door
while the low bid of the previous
meeting included the completed
vault. 1t is estimated that the city
can secure a vault door for approx
mately 500. so that the net saving
will be sos.
Five bids were submitted Tuesday
evening. each contractor presenting
separate bids on the hall improve
ment, the vault construction and the
construction of a new pump house

chinery. The contract on each item

formity to the plans and specifica-
tions, were 1897. The bid for the
installation of the vault. without
door, was $14S. and the figures for

AT the meeting of the county COM
missioners Monday, the claim of c.
i. Shaw for S707.40. representing
about | l months back salary. was
allowed and ordered paid. Mr.. Shaw

years ago, but at the session of the
legislature two years ago the office

MONEY SUBSCRIBED
FOR SANDING ROAD
Pullman Business Men Will Help
Pay for Improving Highway Be-
tween Clinton and Busby

At the Chamber of Commerce
luncheon Tuesday T. E. Wiley was
present and stated that enough sand
had been taken out of the creek be-
tween the Clinton Grange hall and
Busby to improve the two miles of
road between those points. He fig
ured that | teams with four shovel
ers, could sand a quarter of mile
of the road per day. The county will
pay for putting the sand on the
wagons, but the farmers Hook to
the Pullman business men to bear
part of the cost of hauling and dis
tributing it on the road. He stated
further that he thought the farmers
would be willing to furnish teams
and drivers at the low rate of $3.50
per day.
After some discussion it was de-
cided that the best plan would be
for the business men to subscribe
the money to pay the farmers for
doing the work, and II of those
present volunteered to pay SIS each
for two days work of team and
driver. The matter of securing
further subscriptions was left in the
hands of the road committee.
The committee in charge of the
arrangements for the reception in
honor of President and Mrs. Bryan
reported that it would be held De-
cember 20 at the Presbyterian
church, and that the invitations had
been issued.
On request of Mrs. Shedd, presi-
dent of the State Federation of
Women's Clubs, the plan of the Fed
Grafton to secure the creation of a
national park in the Olympics was
endorsed.

ment of the city hall reported and
representatives of the Chamber of
Commerce were authorized to pledge
to the city council one-half the
m oney required for the proposed re-
modelling of the building.
