JttDGE JOHN M. PATTERSON Insanitary dwellings In the slums, Judgo John SI. Patterson, of tho Court of Com mcta Pleas, today chargod wero chiefly responsible for breaking up hemes. Hundreds of fatherless children who apply for aid from charltabto organiza tions ars reared In houses of the slums which settlement workors call "living craves," according to Judge Patterson. Sanitary conditions In houses of tho turns. Judge Patterson declnred, could not only decrease c(rlme, but also give new life to -the "Apache of the street." For more, than a year overy effort to get Councils to grant an appropriation for the maintaining of a Division of Housing and Sanitation has failed. The LeKiklaturo In 1013 passed an act creating the new division. The law, how ever, has never teen enforced. The rca son Is that tho Commltteo dn Finance of Councils, of which John P. Connelly Is chairman, has continued to Ignore It. "With an appropriation of (213,710, tho Department of Health would have been able to employ mdre nurses and Inspec tors. The duties of these persons would have been to keep a better watch on the tenement owners for violations. CAUSES OF CRIME. Judge Patterson Is one of the many representative Phlladelphlans who be lieves In better housing conditions. The quicker present social conditions In the different alleys known as "poverty lanes" are Improved, Judge Patterson believes, some of tho cells In prisons will no longer contain wlfe-beatera and other prisoners whoso present predicament Is due to bad environments. Living in certain houses which sociol ogists have characterized as "death Yanlts," "Siberian cells" and "chambers of horror," Judge Patterson declares will continue to lncrcaso the court dockets. ' Jndge Patterson today Indorsed the Evening Xjsdobr's stand for better hous ing conditions.- He added conditions among those now existing In the "living graves" and "Siberian cells" must change, and that the change can't come oon enough. There la no question In my mind that many cases that come dally to the courts would never have been heard of but fey ths present conditions," said Judgo Pat terson. COKMEND8 THE EVENING LEDGER. ""Tho Evbniho LsDonn deserves the commendation vof every true public spirited eltlxen for the stand It has taken in behalf of the men, women and chil dren who spend the day and night in soma of the poorly ventilated houses of Philadelphia. I have visited soma of these places whchhv been pictured by the camera, and described In detail by set tlement worker." I feel certain something will be done. I ftel sure that those in whose power It is tQ change conditions will realize the importance of the situation confronting them." "Living. In Insanitary houses helps to breed crime not only among children, but also among grown-up persons. It Is a life either in the garret, in the alley where the sua shlnas seldom or in some dark, filthy insanitary and dust-covered, kitchen where the windows are small and often tvaed repairing." FILTH BANISHES AMBITION. - "JL working man with a family who lives In some oT the rickety broken down tenements naturally has no ambition In life. He can bo led astray easily. He also fails Into evil company. What is the result! "Ha no longer Is tho kind father and kind husband that he was At one time. He takes to drinking. His salary Is spent foolishly. He is not only a. changed man acaane his neighbors, but also when with M family." .'"Jlio next time we bear from this man Ja -when, he Is arraigned in a. police court.

Victor E. Eehelman, confessed murderer of 8-year-old Albert Kraft, whose body was found In a culvert arch near 66th street and Gibson avenue lost, week, made another attemp today to convince tho police of the truuA of his confessions. Accompanied by Detectives Manuel and Giovanni and several bltlecoats, the man re-enacted the brutal crime, tracing- step by step the route he says ho followed tho night tho hoy was killed. Several minor errors mndo by Eshel man tho first llmo ho went over the ground, nnd statements by attaches of the Inasmuch Mission, whero ho boarded, that conflict with his story, have led ths police to doubt tho truth of Eshclman'l confession. Tho prisoner lias stuck to every point of his story as ho first told It., Ques tioned on details that failed to dovetail In tho testimony of those employed at the mission, he has steadfastly refused to admit he might be mistaken. Sjnce his arrest, Eshelman has mado no nttempt to deny ho killed tho boy. MAY HAVE DELUSION. These details that do not fit with others and tho condition of tho man's mind have caused tho police to believe that ho might bo laboring under a de lusion. Numerous tests liavo been applied to him, but Eshelman sticks to his story. This momlng he was taken again to Bartram's Gardens. From there he re traced his steps along tho bank of tho river up Into the woods and down tho railroad embankment to the culvert arch. Tho.ro ho demonstrated how and whera he left the body of tho boy. Ueorgo Long, head of the Inasmuch Mission, 1011 Locust street, will Bee Eshel man for tho second time today. Eshelman told a connected story of the crime yesterday when Lons saw him for the first time since the night after the crime. Until tho Interview tho prisoner's confessions hnvo been made .only with the old of questions. Today Mr. Long, who gained the confi dence of Eshelman while tho man was at the Locust street mission, will see him again. Cnptaln Cameron and Detectives Emmanuel and Qtonettl said their belief that Eshelman was telling the truth had been strengthened after the conference with Mr. Long. The most serious discrepancy In Eshel roan's story Is the part which deals will' the time ho returned to the Inasmuch Mission on tho -evening of the murder, Eshelman has persistently doclara'd he committed the crime before 6 o'clock last Wednesday nlght. Opposed ta-tltl Is the decisive declaration by employes of the mission that he checked h,i cpat there at 6:15 Wednesday evening and was In tho dining room at 6:15. MISSION EMPLOYE'S STATEMENT. J. L. Mortimer, tho day clerk, says he noticed particularly when he checked Eshelman's coat, because the time he usually took to twist out of It had be come a Joke about the mission, and he wanted to see whether Eshelman really did take 1G ;ntnutes for the task as some said. Captain Cameron said yesterday Mor timer and other employes must have been mistaken In tho date. He belleyed they saw him at 6:15 Tuesday night or at that time, on Thursday night. Eshelman him self says he reached the mission a few minutes before 7 o'clock and went direct ly Into the mission meeting after brush ing off his clothing. If this Is true he was singing hymns and leading rescued derelicts to tho mothers' bench nn hour after the murder. PRISONER. GROWS WEAK. That Eshelman will nqver suffer tho death penalty, even If he Is convicted of the crime, Is the belief of detectives ac quainted with his mental condition". At L first detectives thought Eshelman used drugs, but physicians who examined him declare he showed no indications that he ever had. Eshelman, according to physicians, is suffering from paresis. His power of concentration Is rapidly growing weaker and his physical condition Is bad. THE WEATHER Official Forecast WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.
