Judge Joseph s. LaBuy Wednesday
morning. A father trying to force his
laughter to lead an immoral life so
hat he might profit BY it. This was a
story told with many tears before his
Honor Wednesday morning.
The man is William Bridgeman,
Who resides at 4042 Federal street and
vas charged with selling and making
noonshine, as well as inducing his
own daughter to go out and solicit.
The daughter told a story Of having
been brought from the South, about
year ago, she and her sister, who is
married, namely Mary and Frances,
and being introduced into such life
as gambling, selling moonshine and
debauchery of the worst kind. She
also said that her father would
wrangle with her about trying to be
decent and her defiance when asked
to sell moonshine to his customers
Also that white women would fre-
quent the fiat and he would abuse his
daughters in their presence, until one
day, after a very hot argument, when
She refused to wait on his customers,
he ordered her to leave his home and
never show up.

Miss Ueda went to normal school in
Japan and afterward taught in nor

visited the slums of Toxic and was
impressed with the need of the better

She saw japanese boys and girls
dragged before the criminal courts

The cases that come before these
courts are almost the same as those
in the American juvenile courts. The
offenses committed are the same, pos
sibly the only difference being that
there are not near so many girls
brought before these courts as in
America, she says.
Miss Ueda studied English in Japan.

watching the activities of Judge Ben
