NORGAN'S Great
RUN A SURPRISE
Washington Gunner's Per-
feet Score of us at
Westy Hogans
FRED PLUM, FAVORITE
OF SHORE, MET DEFEAT

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., Sept. Is
r. d Morgan. of Washington, d. c.,
was yesterday crowned the new
amateur champion Of the Westy
Hogans. incidentally he further an
nexed the entire days honors with
his remarkable exhibition in going
straight in the us targets OF the
regular events and then surviving un-
SCARED two nerve-racking shoot-offs.
The Washingtonian tonight has an
unfinished consecutive run Of 21l,
which eclipses any record 10 date in
this tournament Of either his own
class or among experts.
Morgan tried at the last minute
with Fred Plum in the final hundred
targets Of the day. which constituted
the championship race. The Atlantic
City youth was readily conceded the
winner in turning in his nearly
perfect sheet none expecting even
the recognized stars to equal IT, The
Washingtonian was given little atten-
tion in the field, although his fore
noon perfect score OF IS had created
passing comment, and none heard OF
his wonderful achievement until the
scores were posted. Morgan demon
strated with his stamina in the extra
strings that his performance had been
no fuke in smashing two sets of 20
targets each. while Plum lost the
belt on missing his twenty-ffth.
Old-time Westy Hogans cannot re-
member ever having seen scores soar
so high as today. In the amateur
championship race. FIVE men broke
90 in the century Of blue rocks. They
finished in the shoot-offs as follows:

when low touring car with only ono

PLEA TO HELP WOMEN
QUIT EVIL LIFE HEARD
BY SUPERIOR JUDGES
George Quintard Horwitz and
James Gay Gordon Attack
Judge Davis Ruling
for Magistrates
JURISDICTION INVOLVED

Does the word exclusive" really mean
exciusive7
That is the question the Superior Court
OF Pennsylvania Is now deciding.
Tho appeal from Judge Davls's decision
that unfortunate women Of the streets when
arrested must be taken before magistrates
instead OF before the Municipal Court was
argued in the Superior Court yesterday.
The argument was based on the meaning
OF the word. Ex.Judge James Gay Gordon
and George Quintard Horwitz, for the Com
monwealth. asserted that the word "exclu-
sive," which appears in the act OF 1915,
diction over these women, repealed and an
nulled n provision I'm the act OF 1871 which
created the House OF Correction and pro-
vided that the women be sent TO that in
stitution by magistrates.
Thomas ]. Meagher. arguing for the
magistrates. declared that there was no
conflict in the two acts. and that under the
recent act the Judges of the Municipal Court
become ex officlo magistrates or justices Of
the peace.
'If Judge Davis's decision Is not reversed
by the higher court" said former Judge
Gordon. ''the municipality shall continue to
accept from such women the price OF their
degradation In tho shape of fines. or shall
drive them deeper into the mire of Vice by
permitting magistrates TO commit them to
the House of Correction. from which they
can be released through the influence of
potent persons
I'VE say the act of 1915 divested the
magistrates of jurisdiction in such cases
and II this were not so there could be nc
exclusive jurisdiction. II must be remem
bered the act OF 1871 is a law of the Com
monwealth. while the Municipal Court is an
institution which was called into beins
by municipal regulation. Under the
Blankenburg administration the Municipal
Court dealt with the cases in question, and
during that time legislation was enacted
providing for an institution wherein un
fortunate women could receive treatmen,
according to modern and humane methods
For four years these women obeyed the
persuasive power OF the law. not its cold
rigorous severity. Suddenly, about the
first of this year. the magistrates claimed
the authority they did not have while
Mayor Blankenburg was In office. and they
did so under construction which does
violence to the English language"

MILK STRIKE END DEPENDS
ON BORDEN COMPANY'S STAND
Directors Meet Today to Consider Six
Months Contract

NEW YORK. Oct. Upon the outcome
OF a meeting of the Borden Company d.
rectors today depends the settlement or con.
tinuation OF the milk crisis. Those in close
touch with the situation expressed the be-
lief that the company which supplies one
nth of New York city's milk, win yield
to the farmers den1spd for a six months
contract, the only ocnditions not yet &C
cepted.
The big producers are expected to adopt
whatever action the Borden concern takes.
The twelve independent concerns which
gave in to the farmers early today handle
sixty-three per cent OF the wholesale trade
and one-third of the city's supply. They
signed six months contracts
