ROTAN BARES RECORD
OF CHILDREN IN CRIME
District Attorney Reports Res
cue Work Done by Municipal
Court

Sensational revelations OF the operations
of junk dealers and disorderly house keep
ers who led children into crime In order
that they might profit by their acts, and
the methods pursued to bring these offend
ers to Justice, are contained in the annual
report of District Attorney Rotan, made
public yesterday.
AS the District Attorney points out. the
document is no mere tabulation Of the num-
ber of indictments found during the year
1t Is an intensely human document for 1t
tells of the work of Cooperation performed
by the department with the social welfare
organizations throughout the city.
Mr.. Rotan sets forth that since the cstab-
lishment of the Municipal Court the powers
of his office have been greatly extended.
Accordingly, he has been able to take an
active part in the desertlon and nonsupport
branches of this court. and, in accordance
with a decision of the Supreme Court, in
the Domestic Relations division also.
Under the new condition of affairs. Mr.
Rotan says he has assumed it to be his duty
to place before the Juvenile Court the de-
tails of juvenile crime and so far as possible
to care for the interests of the offender. His
office also Is in active cooperation with the
probation department of the court and has
assisted In the formation of a big brother
movement which seeks to supply corps of
volunteers as auxiliary to the official rep
resentatiyes of the tribunal BY having an
Assistant District Attorney at all hearings
of the Juvenile Court the District Attorney
thereby is enabled to supervise prosecution
of adults who have contributed to the de-
linquency of children.
As an example of this, Mr.. Rotan points
out a large number of successful prosecu
tions which have been conducted against the
Junk dealers who induced gangs of small
BOYS in various sections of the city to break
into houses and steal fittings, which they
afterward purchased This business, he
saws. was carried on with impunity
As an even more important example OF
the efficacy OF the new system, he says
great number of cases were brought against
keepers OF disorderly houses, where young
girls were permitted and encouraged to lead
Immoral lives. The Assistant District At
torney who attended hearings of such girls
was enabled 10 obtain first hand testimony
that led to the arrest and conviction OF
the proprietors.
In the work of his department with the
Domestic Relations Court. Mr., Rotan says
many absconding husbands and fathers
have been brought back to their families.
He cites one example where man was
arrested as he was boarding a steamship
bound for Europe, and another who was
about TO buy a ticket for the Pacific coast
He also has notified large munition manu-
facturers outside of this State to retain
from the pay envelopes of deserting hus-
bands a suw sufficient to support their Fam
lilies in this city

FENCIBLEs MAY NOT SERVE
Men Do Not Expect Call for Duty at
This Time

The Infantry Battalion State Fonoibles,
which is the official military organization
of the city of Philadelphia and has an in.
dependent existence outside Of the National
Guard of Pennsylvania, may not serve in
the present crisis, it was intimated ycster-
day,
Some time ago Major Thomas S, Lanard
renewed an offer for the services OF the
Tenclbles TO the Government in the Mexican
crisis, and at the same time Secretary Of
War Baker said the proffer would be given
consideration.
Major Lanard was not in Philadelphia
yesterday 1t was learned, however, that
the Fcncibles did not expect TO be called
out until the National Guard had gone to
the border, This, it was explained was in
keeping with the precedent established at
the time of the SpaniSh-Americau War,
when the organized military units We're
first utilized in the Government service and
the independent military organizations
sworn into the service later
The Fencibles, however represent i'm their
present organization and equipment mil .

pipe, to be built so that the guardsmen may
be assured Of clean drinking water.
Colonel l.. V. Rausch, Deputy Quater-
master General began this morning to round
up supply of carpenters at nearby points
to rush to completion the store house. At
the same time last-mnute preparations
were being made to lay the water-pipe.
With these two projects under way the
rest of the camp, sanitary and healthy,
will safeguard the men.
The altitude of the camp was declared
not too great to render the men unfit for
border duty today by veteran army officers,
This question had been raised following the
protest of Governor Hatfield of West Nir-
Einia, against the placing of the West Nir-
ginia camp high in the moutains. lie said
1t would place the men at a disadvantage
when they faced the climate of the border
region.
The first supplies for the mobilization

oonmissary trains and trains with soldiers
