NVEEgLY STOCK MARKET OFFICERS CAN'T Retire
President Wilson Refuses to Allow
Men 10 Quit Navy.

Washington, July 3.-President Will
son has denied the petition of volun-
.tary retirement OF twenty comman-
ders and lieutenant commanders of the
navy, who sought to leave the active
list under the law which permits such
retirements on June 80, when promo
tions from the grade of junior lieu
tenants have been less than forty dur
ing the preceding year.
In announcing the presidents ac-
ton, Rear Admiral Benson, acting sec
rotary of the navy, Said the depart
ment had recommended the course be-
cause the experienced officers were
urgently needed in active service and
promotions already were being made
in ranks below captain at the ages
deemed most consistent.
Department officials said far as
they know. none of the twenty appli-
cants had received offers from the pri-
vate munitions establishments which
have been seeking to employ army
and navy officers. 1t was disclosed,
however, that some other officers
have sought retirement to accept such
positions and that their requests have
been refused on the ground that to
permit naval officers on the retired
list to engage in the manufacture of
ordnance for foreign belligerents
would be a breach of neutrality.

Every case of relief. charity and de-
linquency is little different from the
other one. For instance: The police
department picked up a half witted
and diseased girl and by a circuitous
route landed her in the Juvenile de-
tention home. This being no place for
her, it was up to some one for; sol,,-
ton. There being none other in sight
she was by direction of the board
placed in the womans ward of the
county Jail and there held from May
20 until June 10. She had not been
there but a few days before two of
the sheriff's deputies had Iinportunel
members of the board. to buy a ticket
for her and send her out of town.
This of course we refused to do

How the Downward Course of
Girls Could Be Arrested.
Judge MacFarland Files Annual
Report With the Governor.
WOMAN PROBATION OFFICER
Would Do Much to Lessen the
Amount of Delinquency.
More Girls Than Boys Go to
State Institutions.

A goodly percentage of the girls who
find their way into the state correc-
tional institutions from Shawnee coun-
ty, might be saved to lives of respecta-
bility and usefulness if there were
probation officer of their own sex to
look after them in their girlhood, is
the belief of Hugh MacFarlcnd, judge
of the juvenile court. voiced in ms re-
port to Governor Arthur Capper
Judge MacFarland points to the rec
ord of the years work in his court to
show that q higher percentage OF girls
handled by the juvenile court go to in
dustrial institutions than boys.
DELINQUENCY, whether among juv
eniles or adults" says -MacFarlands
report, must eventually be remedied
by supervision. The general trouble
in handling these cases arises from
lack of facilities Or.Of probate officers
to do this work. This statement is
borne out by the fact that we now
have a larger percentage of girl delin-
quents sent to state institutions than
boys which is largely due to the lack
of a woman probation officer. and on
account of it these cases do not come
to US until they have. reached such an
advanced stage that the state institu-
lions are the only place where a
reformation can be accomplished"
Juvenile Delinquency.
Discussing juvenile delinquency the
report says:
nearly DIH0ty per cent VI TIC
cases. of delinquency, the direct result
is traceable to home conditions. The
records for the past SIX months snow
that 83 per cent of the delinquent chill
dren come from homes where parents
are not living together on account OF
death, separation or divorce. rms
leads me to the conclusion that the
law governing mothers pensions
should be broadened, and that there
should be more money expended
through this means for the prevention
of crime and less money expended for
the punishment of crime
A new activity of the juvenile court
is noted in the report that $500 has
been collected by the court in the past
wear from delinquent parents for the
support of children removed from
their custody. Aside from the eX-
pense of the detention home, which
has taken care of forty-two children
for various periods. in the past SIN
months and has cost an average OF
about SIS a month, the juvenile court
of Shawnee county is conducted, at a
cost of only $1,000, the salary OF the
Juvenile officer. No fees are charged
or collected in the juvenile court OF
| this county.

SEATTLE p. o. SITE UNDER
8 FEET OF SALT WATER

Washington, Oct. 27.-Secretary OF
the Treasury McAdoo's inspection
yesterday of the Seattle post office
site under eight feet Of salt water
at high tide, today developed some
interesting facts regarding its sale.
Congressman Humphreys of Wash
ington state recommended the pur-
chase and was the chief promoter OF
the site. The cost was $16s,500.
Humphreys, according to treasury
records, ridiculed the suggestion OF
Seattle bankers that the site was not
worth the price the government paid
for 1t.
