JUVENILE COURT
BILL TO Be DRAWN
Chairman De Lacy Will Call
Special Committee to
Begin Its Work.

William H. De Lacy, former judge
Of the Juvenile Court for nearly eight
years under appointment of President
Roosevelt, and now chairman of a
special committee appointed by Chair
man Mcleod of the judiciary subCom-
mittee of the house District committee
to draft a new Juvenile Court measure
that will meet the approval of the wei
fare workers interested in such legis-
lation. intends to call the committee
Into conference soon.
One of his most active assistants in
this work is Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter
president of the Parent-Teachers Asso.
citation. Judge De Lacy today sent to
each member of his committee the fol
lowing letter:
Representative Mcleod informs me
that he has forwarded you and all Of
the committee designated a copy each
of bills II. r. No. 6.7l5, IL. II. No.
1912 and II. K. No. II ,604, relating to
the District of Columbia Juvenile Court
for study and consideration and from
which our committee is to construct
measure to be reported back to him
as chairman of the subcommittee on
Judiciary of the House committee on
the District of Columbia.
We are of one mind in our pur-
pose to draft the best possible meas
ure for the children. The need. too.
of fixing official responsibility in such
important work is also apparent. and
under our Government of laws rather
than men in the Judge is re-
posed the ultimate trust to say and
do the right thing. He or she must
be learned member of the profes-
sion of the law. thoroughly S0cialized
and sympathetic with the important
aim of the juvenile court. which is
educational rather than correctional
or punitive. and calling for the high.
est type of teacher. that it may be
properly administered for the good
of the families in the community.
This requires that the child under it's
jurisdiction should he ward of the
court in the fun sense of the tern, as
used in our equity and probate courts.
And the tribunal should not be an
:..cai7Or one, but every consideration
of both economy and philanthropy de-
mands that 1t be constituted SUI
perior court.
After time for reflection upon and
study of these bills forwarded to us
by the chairman of the House sub
committee it shall be my pleasing
task TO invite IA meeting of our com.
mittee for joint discussion and the
construction of bill we can recon-
mend

DRIS HOLD UP
RUM VOTE

The Congressional wet drive for
a national referendum in 1928 on
modification Of the American pro-
hibition law struck snag today
when dry leaders announced they
would oppose it.
In the face of this opposition.
however, the vets laid plans to
project NOT only the referendum
as an issue but the whole ques-
ton of prohibition modification
into the 1928 campaign, in which
a President, the entire member
ship of the House and one-third
of the Senate will be elected.
Edge to Lead Fight
Senator Edge (R) of New Jersey,
who sponsored a resolution author
ling the referendum, declared he
would lead a fight to carry these
issues to the people.
The drys meanwhile SHE'D from
the proposed referendum
Two of the prohibitionists' lead
ing OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Sheppard
Cd of Texas, co-author of the Vol
stead act, and Senator Willis IS9
of Ohio-'announced they would OPP
pose ELQES . pEOpOSdI.
1t was their contention that the
biennial elections, all Of which have
resulted in the election of dry Con-
crosses. have furnished sufficient
referendum on the dry question.
81 shall oppose any referendum
on prohibition" said Senator Willis.
ut is unnecessary"
81 am opposed to a referendum"
Ghanno ri dAnfoV rod 'arTha
Congress has ample means Of de-
termining the will of the people in
cdr present system.
1.-The best way is through the
election of public officials and by
raising the issue in the senatorial
and congressional elections"
The dry opposition did not come
as a surprise to Edge or other wet
leaders.
AS a result of 1t, however, the
vets held small hope of having the
referendum authorized at the pres
ent session of Congress.
Instead, they use it as an issue
in the Congressional elections next
November in a vain hope that the
Seventeen Congress. meeting in
December, 1927, will he wet enough
to authorize the referendum as n
part of .the succeeding national
elections.
In the last analysis, though, it
will be used as part of their ma
tionaI drive to make the Seventy
first Congress wet and to then
amend the prohibition law.
ut is perfectly obvious" said
Edge, that the drys can no longer
assert they are unafraid of the
verdict of the country.
81 hope their attitude toward a
referendum will silence their criti-
cism OF the newspaper polls, which
show the country overwhelmingly
In favor of modification.
Every one knows that one who
anticipates appreciation of his cause,
will never hesitate to go before the
people. The vets are ready; the
drys decline our challenge. Let the
American people sit In judgment"
Edges resolution, incidentally.
was drafted TO meet all legal OBJ
jections.
It provided that Congress would
invite the states TO authorize "A
referendum on modification Of the
dry law as a part Of the elections
of November, 1928.

WOMAN POLICE

In the face Of strenuous opposi-

mittee, by a vote OF two to one.
today favorably reported the
Wonan's Bureau bill to the full
District Committee.
The votes for the bill were cast
by Representatives Ernest w. Glib
son OF Vermont and Thomas i.
Blanton of Texas. The adverse
vote was by Representative Ham
mer. The chairman, Representa-
tive Henry r. Rathbone of Illinois.
did not vote.
The vote followed a turbulent
meeting, during which Representa-
tives Hammer and Blanton ex-
changed pointed personalities. At
one time Representative Hammer
shouted, IF the gentleman gets
unto st. Eliabeth's, l promise you
he won't get out on a habeas cor.
pus."
Representative Hammer renewed
his attack on the failure of the
committee to place Mrs. Nina G.
van Wrinkle. lieutenant in command
of the Woman's Bureau, on the
stand to answer serious charges
preferred against her by Judge
Kathryn Sellers of Juvenile Court.
Representative Blanton objected to
statements that he had insulted
Judge Sellers and that she had re.
fused to appear before the commit
tee as a result OF his action.
II think Judge Sellers would be
willing to come back and be ques-
toned by Representative Gibson"
said Representative Hammer. "He
Is a gentleman"
A sharp fight occurred over the
attempt Of Judge Hammer to insert
in the record a statement prepared
by Judge Sellers. Opposition was
voiced by Representatives Blanton
and Gilbert, but this was withdrawn
after Blanton had read the state
ment.

REALTY VALUES
FAXED, CLAIM

Charges that Washington real
estate dealers are making fictitious
sales and are pyramiding mort
cages to increase the paper value
of real estate holdings marked the
opening hearing today before the
judiciary subcommittee of the
House District Committee on the
Blanton bill to license real estate
brokers.
Representative Blanton told the
committee that his bill is based on
laws now enforced in 22 states.
Every section of the bill was ap'
proved during the last Congress by
the joint Congressional committee
during hearings on the rent COM
mission bill, he said.
Representative Blanton declared
that Congress should force local
title companies to guarantee their
titles. Many titles now given are
worthless, he stated.
There are lots of curbstone oper-
ators in Washington. Representa-
tive Blantorl said. This bill is de-
signed to protect honest realtors
against the shysters."
John S. White representing in
dependent real estate brokers, OBJ
jected to the use of the word
realtor, claiming that it was a
copyright word used to designate
members of the National Real Els
tate Board. Representative Blanton
said the point would be taken care
Of in the BILL.
The measure will require "a state
ment of the real consideration in
the deed Of trust to safeguard fu-
ture purchasers. Representative
BIanton explained. Opposition to
this feature was registered by
Roger J. Whiteford, representing
the Washington real estate board.
He argued that the Supreme Court
had held that single sale price
could not be used as an indication
of the true value.
Mr.. Whiteford also objected to
another portion Of the bill on the
ground that it would prevent a pri'
vate owner from selling his lot OF
house without securing a brokers'
license.
