MARRlAGEAsLE AGE SHOULD BE
RAISED.

The raising of the marriageable age
in this State from l. and II years
and the need of a parental school in
! New Orleans were among the impor.
tant things stressed at the annual
meeting of the Louisiana Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
late Thursday in the Hibernia Bank
building. President W. W. Gauche is
in New York. His report was read BY
Superintendent Agnew.
Mr.. Gauche is surprised that the pa
rental school proposed months ago has
not been built. The society looked for
the starting of the parental school
building at the time it turned over to
the city the stewardship of the correc-
ton school in JOurdan avenue.
The legislative committee of the
society was urged in the president
report to make a determined effort to
have the manageable age law
changed. The present law Mr. Gauche
stigmatized as a disgrace to any civil
lied community.
Using of school Fairgrounds as pub
lie recreation centers was recon-
mended by President Gauche. He
called attention to the fact that the
practice prevails in other cities in
order to keep children off the streets.
New Orleans needs more Fairgrounds,
the report declared.

BURGLAR SPENDS NIGHT IN
STORE.

Joseph Lenore, who gives his home
as Dubuque, Colorado. has proven
himself to be one of the most patient
and bOldest burglars ever operating
| in New Orleans. This was illustrated
when he walked into the GodchauX
store Friday afternoon, hid himself,
spent the night there and robbed the
store while the night Waterman was
making his rounds of the upper floors,
and after the store had been opened
Saturday morning boldly walked out.
Lenore might be at liberty now if
he had removed a certain card from
the discarded Overalls which he left
in the store after fitting himself out in
new apparel from head to feet. This
clue led to his capture Saturday night
in the Stone Front saloon in Algiers
by Harry S. Michel. superintendent of
the Boylan Detective Agency.
When Albert GOdchauX came down
to his store Saturday morning he
discovered that his desk had been
opened and a Colts pistol was miss
ing. A short while afterwards a clerk
discovered the overalls which Lenore
had left behind after attiring himself
in new clothing. Later in the day an
other bundle of his old shoes, hat,
socks and shirt was discovered hidden
in the store.
Mr. Michel and Boylan operative
went to work on the case. The only
clue was a card of the Stone Front
saloon.
Mr.. Michel went to the Stone Front
saloon and conversed with Bartender
Dannehauser. AS soon as he stated
his mission Dannehauser said: why,
| was just starting to call Superintend-
ent Reynolds when you came in here's
the pistol right here, and that man
sitting over there just handed it 20
me a few minutes ago.
Mr. Michel telephoned Mr.. Reynolds
and two plain clothes men were sent
to work with him. Lenore was sized
up as a hard proposition and a watch
was kept on him until the other Off
GERS arrived. He was surprised when
placed under arrest. became surly and
refused to talk. Later, however, ac-
cording to the officers. he decided to
talk and related the account of his
robbery.
He also attempted to open the pri-
vate safe of Mr.. GOdchauX. He said
he walked into the store Friday after
noon as if to purchase something and
secreted himself in one of the cur
tanned dressing rooms in the mems
clothing department. changing his hid
ing place a number of times to avoid
detection.
Lenore showed sympathy for his
feet by passing over the stock of shoes
in boxes and taking a pair which had
been on stretchers for a month, and
which fitted him perfectly.

OUR PUBLIC FORUM
H.. E. johnson
On Two-Cent Passenger Rates

both the State and the Railway Com
pany testified that the claims Of the
railroad were sustained by the facts.
Two cents did not pay the cost OF
carrying a passenger a mile. The
State, however, contended that the
railroad was earning enough surplus
on its state freight business to give a
fair return upon the capital used in
its passenger as we'll as its freight
business. For the purposes of the
case. the railroad did not deny this,
but held to its contention that the
State could not segregate its pas
senger business for rate fixing with
out allowing a rate that would be
sufficient to pay the cost of doing
business and enough to give some
return upon the capital invested In
doing the business regulated. This
was the issue presented to the Su-
preme Court. Its decision responds
to the Judgment OF the fair-minded
sentiment of the country. The Su-
preme Court says that, even though
a railroad earns a surplus on a par
ticular commodity by charging rea-
sonable rates, that affords no reason
for compelling 1t to haul another's
person or property for less than cost.
The surplus from a reasonable rate
properly belongs to the railway COM
pany. II the surplus is earned from
an unreasonable rate then that rate
should be reduced The State may
not even up by requiring the railroad
to carry other traffic for nothing or
for less than cost.
The decision is a wholesome one
and demonstrates that the ordinary
rules of fair dealing apply to railway
companies. The fact that one makes
a surplus on his wheat crop would
never be urged as a reason for COM
polling him to sell his cotton at less
than cost 1t would not satisfy the
man who wanted bread to be told
that its high price enabled the cotton
manufacturer to get his raw product
for less than cost. In this case the
court reaffirmed the homely maxim
that each tub must stand upon Its
own bottom"

find WORK OF
ASSOCIATION IS
DIFFERENT HERE
7. w. C. A. Officials Much I'm
pressed With Islands and
Field Offered

Another spoke in the wheel Of Ha.
waits hub OF the Pacific.
The coming of Miss Lillian +.
James and Miss Anne Brewer OF the
Y. w c. A. is the beginning of this
spoke. The finish will be when Homo
lulu is the connecting link in the assO-
citation activities between the main
land and Japan. Miss James and Miss
Brewer arrived yesterday.
Incidentally the visit Of the two \.
W c. A. women marks another jump
OF the many made already this year
by the local association. 1t is the
first official visit of any officer OF
the national board.
Miss James is executive secretary
of the Pacific coast field of the Young
Women's Christian Association, with
headquarters in San Francisco. She
will be here not less than two weeks
and will outline advance work and
the policies of the various depart
ments.
Miss Brewer, member of the ter.
riterial committee, is a voluntary
worker, especially interested in i'm
migration problems. and VIII De mere
longer than Miss James.
Although We have been working
in conjunction with the national asso-
citation for some time, the visit o.
Miss James and Miss Brewer is tho
first official recognition we have had
and from now on We will have per
sonal help from many national Off
GERS" said a member of the local
association today.
The fact that national officers OF
the association are now taking an ac-
tive interest in the Hawaii institu-
ton is a recognition of the import
ance of the work here, points out one
of the Y. w c. A. workers, and will
be helpful to the association here as
we'll as to those on the mainland.
THE work of the association here
is so much different from that of the
associations on the mainland" said a
prominent officer today, that We have
much to learn and can in turn teach
much. The closer connection made
possible by visits from officials will
tend to bring us all better together"

DETENTION HOME
NEED IS GROWING
STRONGER DAILY

Honolulu,s need of juvenile de-
tention home is vividly recalled in a
case recently heard by Juvenile Judge
w. l.. Whitney, in which a two-year-
old Porto Rican baby boy had been
abandoned by its mother. AS result
of this case and the manner in which
1t had to be finally settled, further
impetus doubtless will be given the
detention home movement.
The baby in question, whose mother
resides In Iwilei and whose father is
in jail, was brought into court by a
woman in whose care it had been
placed, but who wanted to give 1t up
because she had not been paid by the
mother for her work After the wo-
man had threatened to leave the child
with the Juvenile court officials, the
mother was arrested and charged with
having deserted her baby. She was
released, however, after she had REIN.
bursed the child's custodian, who still
has the baby.
'If the case had not been settled
as It was" says Judge Whitney, I'VE
would have had no place to put the
baby. Certainly we could not have
put II in Jail, and the Lanakila Home,
which accommodates only six children,
had no room for the child"

JONES NOT At
WORK, Time UP;
HAS HE MARRIED?

Is there a Caroline Brown" Is
Thomas Gather Jones 10 marry her?
Is she an old sweetheart Of his? Or is
she one OF the numerous young women
who have applied for his heart, hand
and supposed $35,0U0 legacy?
These are questions that are beth
ering those of the Honolulu public
who have followed the matrimonial
adventures OF Mr.. Jones, and despite
the sneers of the "highbrows." their
name is legion. Mr.. Jones has not,
apparently, stuck ton close 10 the
truth in his tales, in fact, has admit
ted that much of his story is purely
imaginary, and there are doubts in
many breasts of the existence Of
Caroline"
According to Jones first story of his
coming legacy, he would have to be
married six months by November 16
to get his uncle's $3.50 That meant
he would have to be married by May
16, yesterday He took out a license
but SO far as can be learned he did
not use it. Inspection Of Board of
Health records failed to reveal the
name of Jones" among those mar
ried last night and the several min
listers who would be likely to be called
on declared that they had not married
him.
If he has $4,000 legacy coming
he will not get it, according to his own
statements, for he failed to marry
within the specified time.
Does that settle him or will he come
back with some other story with which
to startle the public.
Jones did not appear for work this
morniny, according to his employer,
e. R. Bath. HE may be getting mar
ried, but if he is he didn't say anything
about it, said Mr.. Bath this afternoon.
