By the Associated Press.

By the Associa ted Press.
NEW YORK, February liking
Frank, newly crowned monarch of
The Gypsies in America, who lives in
the Harlem section OF New York, an
nounces as the keynote of his policy
that his subjects must stop fortune
telling. He also advocates that his
people settle, vote and send their
children to school. 1t is all right for
them to practice phren nology, how
ever.
The king, whose title and jurisdic-
tion are based on customs and laws
extending back to the Middle Ages,
advocates the abolition of customs
that the Gypsies have followed for
centuries. The king himself is quite
modern person, who wears 3ong
trousers and no crown and is known
In private life as Frank Mitchell.
The dictum against fortune-telling
Is classed under the head of for
efgn policy because it is here that
King Franks subjects have their
great difficulties with the constitu-
ents of Uncle Sam.
"Fortune-telling for fees must
stop" said the king. his eyes flash
practically stopped already.
Another thing 1 want to do" he
said. 'is to Americanize my people
They wander too. much. They should
settle. vote and send their children
to school. They are fine mechanics
When they wander they are accused
of every thing. 1t is all false. But
they will have bad name as long
as they wander"

TO ENLARGE SCOPE
OF JUVENILE COURT
Bill Drawn Restores Jurisdiction
Over Desertion and Non
Support Cases.

A bill designed to restore to the
Juvenile Court jurisdiction over de-
sertion and non-support cases will be
submitted to the District Commits
sioners today by the commission on
public welfare legislation. The COM
mission is not aware of any opposi-
tion to the bill, and for that reason
is hopeful Of having it acted on at
this session of Congress.
Until a few years ago the Juvenile
Court and the District Supreme Court
had concurrent jurisdiction over nom
support cases. The presence of the
words hard labor" in the penalty
clause Of the existing law, however,
resulted in a court decision which had
the effect OF confining non-support t
cases to the District Supreme Court,
is necessary.
The bill now being offered by the
welfare commission merely provides
that the words hard labor" be
stricken from the existing law.
Al it's nice ting yesterday afternoon
the welfare commission also APP
pointed a committee of FIVE to study
the question of the commitment pow
ers over children that should be given
to the Juvenile Court in the proposed
new organic law for that court The
Judge Milton Strasburger, form r
Judge J. W. Iatlmer. Walter S. Uf-
ford, Joseph d. sullivan and John
Ihlder.
The commission has been endeavor-
ing to determine whether the court
should be restricted to committing its
wards to public agencies, or whether
it should also have power to commit
children to licensed private agencies
The question, of licensing private
child-caring agencies will be consid-
cred at the next executive meeting
of the commission. to be held at the
! District Building Tuesday. Mrs. Ly-
man B. Swormstedt acted as chair

CAT TAX BILL FLAYED.

HARTFORD, Conn. February 13.-
A bill for taxation of cats was Wig
orously opposed at hearing before
a Connecticut Legislative committee.
William H. Fairchild, a justice of
New Fairfield. declared that every
pair of rats permitted to live pro-
duced descendants to the number of
759,7os.842 in three years, and that
the .surest way to limit the rat popu-
lation was to encourage cats.
He said that If cats were taxed
you'd have to put collars on all the
cats. and 1t would be some job for the
cat wardenG"
Mrs Ellen T. Lewis, representing a
humane society, deplored the neces-
sity of collars for cats, because they
would be in danger of hanging every
time they climbed a tree.
No one favored the bill.

SEES u. S. SYSTEM LOSING
Senator Bingham Cites Doctrine of
Separate Powers.

NEW YORK. February 13.-Con-
gressional Investigations were cited
by Senator Hiram Bingham of Con-
nectfcut at the Lincoln day dinner Of
the National Republican Club last
night as evidence that the doctrine of
the division of governmental powers
into legislative, executive and judicial
departments is breaking down.
Because the Senate of the United
States believed that the certain off,
cials of the Federal Government were
guilty of misconduct, the Senate de-
cided to adopt grand jury -proce edings
to investigate their conduct. 1t seems
to me that the constitutional course
would have been for the House of
Representatives to bring an impeach-
ment against the Federal officials and
for the Senate to act as a judicial
bod yrather than q grand jury" he said.
