Women's Court
Is Still Holding
Night Sessions
Advocates of Change Point
Out How 1t May Sit
During Day

The Women's Night Court has not
been abolished
A bill making possible It's abolition
and the substitution of 81 day court was
passed by the last Legislature and
signed by Governor Whitman on May
/. Last month the Board OF City
Magistrates decided that the change
should be made as soon as a suitable
court room could be found
But sessions are still held nightly at
the Jefferson Market Court, Sixth Ave
nue. and Tenth Street. The delay is at
tributed to the inability to find a suita-
BILE court room.
Women interested in the change
say there is no reason for the delay.
They will appear before the Sinking
Fund Commission at hearing to-mor-
row morning to show why.
They say that although the room on
the first floor of the Jefferson Market
Court Building now used by the night
court is occupied in the davtime by the
Second District Magistrates Court, the
room above on the second floor could
be made available for the Women's Day
Court They point out that the court
then. would be close 20 the women's
! jail at Jefferson Market.
Mrs. Mary +. Paddon, financial secre-
/ tary Of the Inwood House, said yester-
day:
"The women's Day Court should be
as near as possible to the jefferson
Market jail. The room on the second floor
OF the Jefferson Market Court Building
/ is used in the daytime only by Part
of the First District Municipal Court.
AS the room built and equipped for
/ this part in the First District Munich
pal Court Building, at Grand and
Lafayette streets, is at present un-
used, it would seem that there is no
room at the Jefferson Market Court
building should not be used for he
Women's Day Court"
The matter of securing this room for
the use of the Women's Day Court Is
at present before the committee of the
whole of the Sinking Fund Commits
I sion, which has been waited upon sew
eral times by civic, philanthropic and
political organizations interested in
public welfare measures.
Mayor Hylan and Alfred f. Smith,
President Of the Board of Aldermen.
both members of the Sinking Fund
/ Commission, have assured the women
Of their interest in making the change.
Chapter 659 OF the Laws of 1910 pro-
/ vides that:
There shall be established on Octo-
Der /, 1910, place of detention under
the jurisdiction of the Commissioner of
Correction convenient TO the night
court for women, where women may be
detained both before and after being
heard, and in such detention place the
young and less hardened shall be seq
regated so far as practicable from the
older and more hardened offenders"
Such house of detention has never
been built. The women's jail at JEFF
ferson Market has been improved re-
Gently, however
Among the organizations actively in
terested in the establishment of day
light sessions are the Federation Of
Women's Clubs, the Women's Depart
ment of the National Civic Federation,
the Mayors Committee of Women. the
Inwood House, the Courts Committee
of the Women's City Club. the Church
Mission of Health, the Catholic Big
Sisters the Protestant Big Sisters and
the Jewish Big Sisters.

Enter Washington

Washington, the Man Who Made
Us" new play by Percy MacKaye with
George Washington as its central fg-
ure and the American Revolution as its
background, will be presented by Ar
thur Hopkins in the early fall This
will be the first play to deal directly
with the most famous and most dra-
matte character America has produced,
and it VIII deal with him in his storm
and stress period, when he was making
both his fame and his country. There
VIII also be many scenes Of the present
lnterwoven IN the play, since the Amer
can revolution was the present war in
miniature, and there are many amazing
parallels. President Poincare said,
when America entered the war: wash
lngton leads us"
The leader of the "raggle- -taggle
glpsles," whose picturesque courage
and fighting genius drew both men and
women to him and held them through
incredible hardships. was known to his
contemporaries as the most magnetic
OF men. 1t was personal devotion to
washington which held young Lafay-
ette IN the Continental army when il
had fallen upon desperate times. and
cemented the first world alliance of
America. which was to echo back from
Paris on July a, 1917, in the American
Colonel Stanton's "Lafayette, we are
here."
The lovable personal qualities of
W ashlngton will be pictured in the new
play rather than the austere virtues
and, repression of his later life.
Mr.. MacKaye will show the young
Washington returning to his home at
Mount Vernon. from his surveyings in
the wilderness romancing with Mis-
tress Martha Custis, later Mistress
Washington. but known to her hus-
band as patsy" and finally taking
arms against the King. He Will show
the riot which resulted in the christen-
ing of Columbia College. the hard
pressed night across the Delaware from
Trenton, the ravages of Valley Forge
and the unfurling of the first flag
made by Betsy Ross.
Both setting and costumes for
"W ashington" will be made by Robert
Edmond Jones.
Mr.. MacKaye's play, which is in
prose, is in sixteen actions and four
teen transitions, and it lends itself to
such modern stage treatment, both in
decoration and in direction, that il
amounts to a new form in the theatre.
BY striking invention he is able to
carry his story along without halting
and at times to fuse both past and
present.
Washington" will by that means
show not only why "the Father of His
Country" was the mos5 powerful man
OF his own time, but why his ideal and
his example are still the strongest
single inspiration of the present war.

Was Over There'-Twenty-6ve Department
Heroes Honored

Patrick R. O'Connor is one of those
who always appear in the right place
at the right time.
On February 20, 1917. the right
place for Patrick, then fireman, was
on the roof at 23 East 138th Street,
with smoke and flames pouring from
the window below and the coping on
which he and h,s comrades lay bend
ing and swaying with their weight.
In the room below. half crazed with
terror and his escape cut off by the
blazing stairway. lay Michael Maho-
leaned over the edge of the swaying
coping, with Fireman George R. Nell
son holding on to his feet, seized Ma
honey by the wrists and drew him up
to the roof.
For this heroic action O'Connor's
name led the list of tiremen cited for
honors, to whom medals were pre-
sented at the City Hall yesterday.
However, letter from General Bell,
at Camp Upton, had informed Fire

to have them go, too. It's for good

O'Connor was the only man in
khaki in the delegation of twenty-five
heroes of the Fire Department who
received their reward yesterday, but
two others were reported "absent on
