Solution of the controversy be-
tween county officials over the Sc
lection of the Holloway Apis, 225
E. Michigan St., as the new county
juvenile detention home, was put up
to the Board of State Charities to-
day by Criminal Court Judge James
A. Collins. Collins, in a statement
to Prosecutor William H. Renly,
said that the board of county CON-
missioners can make no provision
for any place for the custody of
children pending trial in juvenile
Court unless such place meets with
the approval of the State Board of

Remy, following a conference
with Collins, said County Attorney

Judge Frank j. Lahr will confer
with him this afternoon,
Abandon Citation
Remy temporarily abandoned his
effort to bring about citation of the
majority faction commissioners,
Charles Sutton and Cassius L. Hogle
for contempt of court because they
disregarded a recent recommendation
of the grand jury that the present
building, 1902 N. Capitol Ave-, be re-
tanned. Hogle and Sutton leased the
Michigan st. site from James NJ.
Davis through James Edwards,
county councilman and local real es-
tate man.
The contract provides $3.50 a
month rent. Although only 1925 has
been appropriated. County Auditor

amount will not be paid until an
appropriation is granted, but coun-
cilmen assert no more will be ap-
propriated.

Brown admitted that a report was
being prepared for the commissions
ers, but would not reveal the con-
tents.
He told Remy before going to the
grand jury, that the new site was,
in some respects, better than the
present structure, but what really
is needed is a new building"
| Lahr declared he would not per
nit any children to be taken to the
E. Michigan st. building until the
charities board report is received
The board must approve the building
before it can be used, he said.
Approval Needed
Judge Lahr ordered the children
sent either to institutions where
they had been ordered by the court,
or to private homes.
"The law sets out that the Deten'
sion Home must have approval OF
the charities board before the chill
dren can be sent there" the court
said.
Until the matter is disposed of,
I shall place the children in the
orphans home or private residences.
I want a new home. but will not
accept this so-called temporary
location until the charities board
approves it."
Judge Lahr wrote Chief Claude F.
Johnson, Tuesday, asking him aot to
place children in the Detention
Home for a few days, but bind them
to the court until the situation was
remedied.
