DIR. Jennie Callfas. one of the
founders and defenders of the De-

Public Welfare board, was given
several days ago letter written by
physician, who is an official of
the Detention home, to Ruby Mar

ing the girl she was delinquent in
her monthly payments, in considera-
ton of which it was stipulated she
was to be exempted from imprison-
ment in the Detention home, in
spite of the fact the physician de-
clared the girl had the syphilis, ac-
cording to her statement.
DR.. Callfas declared she would
make an investigation and if any
crooked work was going on at the
institution, she would see that the
guilty ones were punished. Miss
Martin has ceased to make her pay
ments to the physician. She called
the physician on the telephone and
told him she would pay him no more
money and dehed him--when again
he threatened to have her arrested
and detained in the home.
Miss Martin is working every day
and has heard nothing further from
the physician who succeeded in max
ing her pay monthly sum of $50
for two months, and who backed
up when the girl called his bluff.
