Chi. Industrial Colony
For Mental Delinquents

Chicago. Aug. 13.-(AP)-A stand
ing offer to rid city, of more than
100000 population. of all crime by
permanently segregating 5000 mental
delinquents who are marked repeaters
is in final form for the next session of
the Illinois Legislature.
The offer Is from Chief Justice Har-
ny Olson of the Municipal Court of
Chicago, and DR.. William J. Hickson,
director of the Courts Psyschopathic
Laboratory, in which defendants in
more than 10000 criminal cases have
been examined during the last IL
years.
The experience of the laboratory
has brought Judge Olson and Dr..
Hickson 10 the conclusion that crime
prevention is more a problem in psy-
chology than in police administration.
and that the root Of the problem is the
mental delinquent whose debility rem
ders him incapable of interpreting
punishment as retribution.
Instead of committing offenders to
prisons and reformatories for short
sentences, and then throwing them on
society again, to commit a greater
crime. DR.. Hickson proposes perma-
nent industrial farm colony where the
delinquents could live lives adjusted
to their peculiarities.
He would make the colony largely
self-sustaining, and in addition would
save upwards of 100000 annually
of Chicago's $15,O0o,000 budget for po-
Icing and criminal courts.
The laboratory's records show men,
tai deficiency as the prime factor in
Chicago crime, and also. that in a
large majority OF the delinquents. the
criminal bent is manifested in some
minor offense during the period of
adolescence.
BY 'segregating the offenders of
mental debility or emotional instabili-
ty, the Olson-Hickson program would
prevent their later and more serious
crimes.
Many records are cited by DR.. Hick-
son in support of his theory that
-mindedness is major factor in
crime.
OF 262 boys arraigned in one term
of the Boys Court, So per cent were
morons, and 33A per cent sociopaths.

)nly 10 per cent rated average intel

Only 10 per cent rated average intel
ligence.
Less than five per cent of the boys
have been in school until past IA years
OF age. SO per cent have not reached
seventh grade.
Many personal histories were inves-
tigated In this group. A large per-
centage Of the boys were found to
have been the offspring of mentally
defective parents, some of whom had
long criminal records in Chicago.
AT present the law presumes the
criminal to be sane until proven in
sane" said DR.. Hickson. When recent
studies in criminology are Incorporate
ed into the criminal code of the United
States. every criminal will be pre-
sumed insane until he proves himself
sane.
THE mentally deficient repeaters
are responsible for virtually all vi
cious crimes, such as murders, robber-
les. bank-hold-ups and criminal at
tacks on women"
Legislation to provide such a coll
ony as DR.. Hickson proposes has been
prepared by volunteer committee of
civic leaders for the Legislature.

CHARLES HARRISON. REAL
AMERICAN TENOR.

The announcement that Charles
Harrison, tenor, and Miss May Korb,
coIorafura soprano, would be the as
sisting soloists at the 18th an
niversary concert Of the municipal
organ series on Friday afternoon
August 81, at the Portland City Hal
auditorium, has met with the great,
est of interest Charles Raymond
Cronham, municipal organist. Will
preside at the organ and a program
of unusual interest is being prepared.
Mr.. Harrison, known as the Amer
lean tenor, has a musical background
of which he may we'll be proud. He
10 American born and American
trained and it is quite fitting that the
people of this country claim him as
their own. His career is an interest
ing illustration of the growing ap-
probation of the American public
for good music.
Mr.. Harrison was originally bus
mess man, and singing was merely
an avocation with him. He made
many appearances in the private
homes of his friends, and sang IN
church choirs and as a soloist at the
presentation of oratorios and other
church music. He thus became more
and more widely known, and the call
for his services constantly increased.
Finally, the demand became so great
that Mr.. Harrison was convinced
that he ought to make singing his
life work, and accordingly gave up
business entirely, feeling that even
some sacrifice on his part would be
worth the privilege of bringing good
music to a wider CIRCLE of apprecia-
tive hearers.
Miss Korb will make her second
appearance in Portland at the ami
versary concert, her first appearance
having been in January of this year
when she was most enthusiastically
received. She is a lyric coloratura
soprano with a voice of great beauty
and range. At the annual competi
ton held in Carnegie hall, New York,
Miss Korb was chosen as the win
ner in her particular class and was
given the chance to sing with the
Philharmonic orchestra at the Stad-
ium in New York City.
Mr.. Cronham has already made
place for himself in the musical
circles of the State and his concerts
are exceptionally fine.-Adv.

Flower which heads the program
at the Colonial theatre for today
and Saturday. In it is seen the
eternally ebullient Colleen Moore.
She is, however, mature, more
serious minded Colleen in this First
National production. She has
emerged like a butterfly from it's
chrysalis into emotional drama and
presents the high lights and
shadows of a little waif in a desert

Miss Moore.

is starred. Canutt Is said to be the

picture, he fairly outdoes himself in
daring stunts for he hurdles through
the picture like a combination of

der is mystery drama in
