es are before the courts, and are part of the records in this case.
 Young Deceived Court
 When MT. Young came here he stated to me generally that years before he had been disbarred in New Jersey. He did not mention the New York case. He asked me privately whether 1 would hold the previous disbarment against him if he applied for admittance to the bar here. He assured me that his pre- vious disbarment was on account of domestic troubles and said nothing about being disbarred on account of reprehensible practices"
 Judge Jennings then reviewed the testimony of Young on the witness stand when questioned by the Court as to his statements to the Court at the time of his application for admittance. The Court made an oral order disbarring the former at torney, and stated that the formal order of disbarrment will be entered later.

Public Supports Social Service Body
Which Calls Itself Private Bureau

Treasurer Jordan of the Social Serv-
ice Bureau says the bureau is strictly
a private institution.
This position also is assumed by
other officers of the board, including
Secretary Melpolder. They deny it
is public or semipublic institution.
All this, in spite of the fact that the
bureau is supported by funds contrib
uted by the public and the bureau
annually makes an appeal direct to
the public for support.
Receives Quarters Rent Free.
. This position overlooks the close as
sociation between the bureau and the
county, by means Of which the bureau
occupies, rent free, quarters in the
county building. supported By taxes.
1t also overlooks the fact that the
bureaus secretary dispenses township
funds for poor relief and has oversight
over the township trustees office.
The Dayton Federation for Charity
and Philanthropy, upon which the
Social Service Bureau is modelled, is a
semi-public institution.
A telephone conversation with
Charles J. Brennan, executive secre-
tary Of the federation, established this.

ECONOMY IS Plea.
JONES INSTRUCTS
HIGHWAY WORKERS

Economy was the principal thing
urged by County Road Superintendent
Jones, today, in his address at the an
nual meeting of Wayne county assist
ant road superintendents at the court
house.
He explained that $4,000 has been
appropriated for the upkeep of the 437
miles of free turnpikes in this county
next year. This is $4,000 more than
was used in 1916 but fifteen more
miles of road have been added.
A new drainage system for roads
will be tried out. In places where it
is hard to keep the highways dry,
large tiles will be laid along the sides
at least thirty inches under ground.
