Expell Other Greeks
from COnstantinOple

London, Eng-Despatches from Con-
stantinople say that most OF the Greek
prelates and priests there are likely
to suffer the same fate as the ecu
menical patriach, the most Rev Con-
stantinos, who< was expelled By the
Turks.
The Turkish authorities say IL e dis
patches, are preparing to get papers
of exchange ratified by the commits
sion in charge of the exchange of mi
nority populations between Turkey and
Greece after which the prelates and
priests, numbering some $50 of the
orthodox clergy will be invited to
leave.
NJ Exintaris, chief Greek exchange
delegate, has resigned, according to
the Morning Posts correspondent az
ter protesting against the violent and
humiliating treatment accorded the
cation is said to have replied that
their government treated the patriarch
better than it did the former Turkish
caliph, adding:
at is not our fault if the Greeks
in Turkey put their confidence in ex-
changeable prelates. Let them choose
other prelates from among the persons
authorized to remain here and the
government will respect them. The
treaty of Lausanne says nothing about
exchangable Greeks becoming exempt
when elevated to religious dignity.

MORE MILWAUKEE,
DIVORCES HERE
Records in Court Show
That Milwaukee Cases
Predominant.
TWO SUE FOR DIVORCE

During the year 1924, there were
more Milwaukee divorces granted N
the municipal court than Kenosha d.
yorces, according to figures just com
piled for the county board by the
dc-,rtv clerk An effort will be made
by the municipal Judge and the coun-
~ bard to prevent this descent OF
outside attorneys upon the local court
loading it with work that properly
belongs to another county.
Of the divorces granted during the
wear. 68 were Milwaukee divorces and
Sc Kenosha ones. The reason given
for the invasion of the Milwaukee at
torneys is that the courts at Milwau-
kee are so crowded that ltigants in q
divorce action have to wait many
months and sometimes a half year OF
more in order to get hearing. AS the
matter stands at present, all the courts
of the state are open in these cases
40 long as the litigants have a cause
for action. .
Another Case Here.
Friday afternoon there was another
Milwaukee divorce case heard in the
municipal court. George Juhl sued fol-
divorce from Henrietta Hanson Juhl
and petitioned for the custody of the
child, George w. Jhul. He was granted
the decree and awarded the custody
of the boy.
The Juhls were married at Fair
mont, Jan. Is, 1928. Juhl charged that
his wife cursed him, once threatened
him with a knife and finally, July
90. 1923, deserted him. Mrs. Juhl is
still minor and was represented by
guardian ad litem.

HEAR APPEAL OF
KENOSHA COUNTY
Judge Belden to Hear Arg
uments on Appeal in
Mccoy Suit.
GRANTED BIG DAMAGES

Kenosha county's motion for set
ting aside the verdict of the jury
granting $4,000 damages in the suit
brought by Robert Mccoy, 10 years
old, and his father, James E. Mccoy,
against John Terhorst and Kenosha
county, is being heard by Judge E.
B. Belden in the circuit court Of
Racine county today. The case was
heard in that court, having been
brought in Racine county.
The first named plaintiff, Robert
Mccoy, was awarded $4,000 damages
by the jury, which found the county
negligent in regard to an accident in
which the lad lost an arm. 1t was
claimed that the county had not kept
the highway in proper condition,
which claim was evidently upheld by
the jury.
Story of Suit.
The Mccoy boy was injured on Aug.
10, 1922. He was riding on a truck
driven by John Terhorst, the other de-
fendant, and according to testimony,
the front left wheel of the truck
struck some stones at the side of tie
Ioau, IAlS Earring VIC AdCHAnc anu
sending it to the opposite side of the
road. There the wheel sank into a
small hole, causing the truck to top
pie over onto it's side. The Mccoy
boys arm was injured SO that later
amputation was necessary.
Kenosha county attorneys have en-
tered motion for setting aside the
verdict on the basis that it is not in
keeping with the evidence~in the case.
1t is also claimed that the amount of
damages awarded in the case are more
than are allowed in the statutes, a
maximum being set there of $4,000.
Arguments on the motion to set a
side the verdict were to be heard to-
day with a probability that the case
would occupy much of the time of the
court there today.

STATE SAVES ITS
BOYS WITH START
Aim of ReformatOry Sys-
! TEN is Directed to Ere
making" Boys.
NOT FOR PUNISHMENT

The Wisconsin budget, which will
become part of the appropriation
bill before the new legislature, asks
for $4,000 for improvements and
the completion of unfinished portions
of the state reformatory at Green
Bay.
Wisconsin state reformatory is per-
haps \least known within the state
by the very taxpayers who maintain
it, and best known outside the state
where judges and juries, federal and
state officials week after week COM
nit boys to Green Bay and wire re-
quests that they be admitted. From
Maine and from Washington, from
South Carolina, and very lately from
Arkansas, have come requests for per-
mission to sentence offenders to Green
Bay, but the reformatory, occupying
but half of its building, can accom-
modate but the 304 present inmates.
The scope and purposes of the school
the scientific application Of these
theories and the system of parole
peculiar to Wisconsin are known to
social workers and to criminolog1sts
throughout America.
Few Finish Sentence"
Within the walls of Wisconsin's re-
formatory an average of 300 boys, all
between II and 80, and most Of them
under "a, are learning trades, are pre-
pairing quizzes in grade and high

matorv is not meant to administer q
definite punishment and release the
prisoner again TO society, The lnttu-
ence is meant to be corrective, and
little by little the inmate is given adj
ded responsibility and his reactions
recorded. Closer and closer he comes
to the complete mental and physical
turn over until presently he comes
before the board of parole, showing 8
perfect prison record, under all cir
cumstances, and asks for the oppor-
tunity to go back into the world
Whether or not his prison sentence Is
ended depends entirely upon the boy
Do Not Come From Homes.
"Our boys come from gangs, pool
rooms, cheap hotels" emphasized the
superintendent who has studied Grim
inology all of his life, "they almost
never come from homes. Homes where
mother and father and boys all know
each other, where fathers chum with
boys and boys talk their troubles over
with dad as with a pal-those homes
never send boys to state institutions
The reformatory is administered en-.
tirely under the state board of control
which also acts as the board Of paroles
The present board consists of DR.. w
F. Lorenz, president; J. d. Morrissey
vice president; j. ]. Hansen, secretary
and Mrs. Margaret Hutton Abels. E
H. Eklund is general superintendent
and F. C. Bernhagen, deputy superin-
tendent. The deputy superintendent is
disciplinarian and daily conducts
"court" for rule breakers. Inmates
reported by officers during the day
for black marks against their prison
record, are gwen an opportunity tc
appear before the disciplinarian and
defend themselves before the mark is
recorded.
