JUDGE EXPLAINS WHY BOYS :
VIOLATE THE LAWS :

VIOLATE THE LAWS 3
During the past year 10,416 boys
have been arrested by the police for :
violating city ordinances. Yesterday
Judge Dolan, in his first annual re-
port, told why these boys violated the ?
laws
Unemployment is indirectly re-
sponsible for 70 per cent of offenses Z
charged against the boys in the
court" says the report 1.-THE prob
lem of finding work for the prisoners
is difficult. 1t is easy to get money
for the work of the department, but
when it comes to job for boy who
is willing and anxious to work it is
different. Hundreds of letters have
been sent to large employers of labor
asking for jobs. Less then per cent
have responded"
"This," court investigators say, 'tis
because boys who have been taken
to court are considered lazy, incom-
petent and perhaps criminally in
clined. This is untrue. The great
majority are honest and capable. En-
forced idleness has lead them into
mischief" ..E
That liquor has nothing to do with
the large percentage of offenses is
another surprising statement which
is made. Out of 10000 boys who
were interviewed less than so had
their minds deranged by liquor. On
the other hand, cigaret smoking has
become a mania.
Mary Fulgate and G. A. Mitchell OF
the social service department of the
court compiled the report

Fights ExtraditiOn As A
fOrger

New York, Aug. ia hearing is
set for today in the U. S. District
Court in Brooklyn on the charges
brought against Ignatius Timothy
Tribich Lincoln in behalf of the Brit
ish Government. The complaint of
the British Consul, on which he was
arrested in Brooklyn on Aug. a,
charges three cases of alleged forg-
cry in England. Lincoln, when ar
rested claimed he is a German spy
and that the forgery charges are
trumped up to secure his extradition.
He will make a bitter fight against
the moves of the British authorities.
as he states it means sure death to
him if he is deported to England.
Lincoln is only SO years old, and
has been a member of the British Par
Lament. Since he reached America
he has made no secret of his stand
, against his former government and
| has made exposures of the English
secret service. He is a Hungarian
by birth, and studied in Germany and
in Canada. In early life he went to
| England and was ordained clergy
man in the Church of England. Some
nine years ago he became private Sec
retary to S. Seebolm Rowntree, an
English sociologist, and assisted him
in the Investigations of the land and
labor problem in Belgium. Lincoln,
as he was then known, although he
was born Ignatius Trebich, was nat
uralized as British subject in 1908,
and two years later was elected to
Parliament from the Darlington dis
trict.
1t is believed that Lincoln knew
some of the highest secrets of Eng
land. Since his arrival in America he
has prided himself on the service he
has done Germany, and has been out
spoken in his bitter hatred of his
adopted country. He is plenifully
supplied with money.
In the papers filed with the British
complaint are mentioned three
charges Of alleged forgery. One is
that Lincoln forged paper whereby
NJ. Rowntree purported to guarantee
to John Goldstein, trading as ]. Grain
ger, 750 pounds with interest at I
per cent Another charge is the forg
cry of signature in a bill of ex
change, and the third charge alleges
that Lincoln forged another name to
a check.
