NORMAN MAC LEOD It Is not often that additional work Is responsible for rejoicing, but up In tha misdemeanors' branch of the Municipal Court today thero Is much jubilation as the result of tha recent decision of Judge Or lady, of the Superior Court, In referring the test case of Florenco Wilson, a woman of the streets, who hud been sentenced to serve nine months In the House of Correc tion by Maglstrato Ilcaton, back to the Municipal or "morals" Court for arraign ment. This decision means that every woman who since the repeal of .the 1315 amend ment of the Municipal Court act, following au order of Director of Publlo Safety Wil son, has been hauled before the Magistrates and either Incarcerated or fined heavily will now be heard In the Misdemeanants' Court before Judge Charles I Drown, who has the reputation of neor fining them, and will come directly under the supervising eyo of Mrs, Jane Deeter lllppln. chief pro bation ofllcer, and her corps of assistants. Taking of these cases out of tho hands of the magistrates and bringing them back to the Municipal Court Increases tho volume of business done In Mrs. Rlppln'a depart ment because hundreds of women are ar raigned annually. DON'T MIND EXTRA LABOR "But, of course, we do not mind the extra work," Mrs. lllppln said enthusias tically "we nre only too glad to be able once more to follow the cases of these un fortunate women and do what we can for them. According to the old way of arraign ing them before the magistrates, they were either summarily Imprisoned without regard to their physical condition often they netded hospital treatment badly or forced to pay nnes. They were literally outcasts of society; there was no one to look after them. When their sentences had been served they came out again and were forced back Into the old way of,llvlngMn order to support them selves. Or, If they wero fined and did not have the raonoy, they borrowed at high rates from unscrupulous men, pflhaps, and were forced right back on the street again In order to pay the fine. 'The follow-up work In the Misdemean ants Court alms to be constructive. These women are made to feel that there is some one Interested In them; that society Is not wholly against them. If they need medical treatment they aro sent to the hospital; If they do not. Jobs are obtained for them and a protective eye Is kept on them. They are not forgotten the minute they leave the court. They are given one chance, two chance), many chances. Our Idea Is to take a maternal, rather than a vindic tive attitude toward them." WOMEN ADVOCATES PLEASED Mrs. Norman MacLeod, who was a, mem ber of a committee of women which has fought tooth and nail to get the cases of these women out of the hands of tho magis trates, expressed great fBthuslasm at the Bupcrlor Court decision. ''It is hard for me to express the great pleasure." she said, "that I have had ever since I heard of the successful outcome of the litigation of the Sunerlor Court. I have read only extracts from Judge Orlady's opinion, but I understand that he fixes once and for all the fact that the Municipal Court has exclusive Jurisdiction over the cases of fallen women and that the Juris diction which heretofore existed in the Mag istrates has been taken away. This to my mind Is a very great step In the advance in sociological reform. It not only does away with the evils which have been so freely commented on In the past, but fixes definitely the fact that these women will bo dealt with In a broad, hopeful and Christian-like snlrlt. It will also make It possible for the Municipal Court u use the industrial Homo for Women now being erected at Muncy Instead of the House of Correction. The women of tho State have fought for years for the es tablishment of this home for women, and It la an added source of pleasure that the Municipal Court, which Is the leader in this moral work, should be the first In the JULvyrt.wiM' ' Ik Quality Groceries at Money-Saying Prices Hotels, Institutions, etc., should consult us for prices. 1232 Market Street OSS Mbr SI U Ut farU I n rrevi.Hm IWmvM . sjv .

HIS APPOINTMENT VOID, WANTS CITY JOB BACK Court Reserves Decision on Tangle Over Electrical Bu reau Man Who Was Discharged Trtsldent Judge Martin and Judge Staake, In Common Tleas Court No. E to day, reserved decision after hearing argu ment In a suit regarding the right of rein statement to municipal employ of persona discharged because their original appoint ment was void. The Issue was raised In an action brought by R. Francis 'Wood, as a taxpayer, against the Civil Service Commissioners, Director of Publlo Safety Wilson and Joseph S'.ln son. The last named had been originally appointed a fireman In the Bureau of City Property November IS, 1907, without ex amination, under the clause exempting sol diers and soldiers' children from such com petitive test. This clause later was de clared unconstitutional by tho Superior Court. Meanwhile, on April 1, 1909, Stln son had been transferred to tho Klectrtcat Dureau. From this latter position he wss discharged June 25, 191E, under the Su perior Court ruling. lie was reinstated by the Commission on a requisition of Director Wilson last April. On behalf of the taxpayer It was argued today that the reappointment waslnvalld as Stlnson had not qualified under tho rules governing the position at the time of his reinstatement. Combatting this position. Assistant City Solicitors Lowengrund and Magee contended that Stlnson, being a fire man In service, could not be discharged law fully without trial and conviction, and that, having been for eight years actually and e facto so engaged In the municipal serice his reinstatement was proper and legal, Ir respective of the rlsht or propriety of his previous attempted discharge. Further, It was argued, no application to the Civil Service Commission had been mado as to the question raised by the taxpayers' bill.

Oleason, president of the State Federation of Pennsylvania Women, made a stirring appeal for better Americans In an address before the con vention of that body In the Chestnut Street Saptltt Church, Fortieth and Chestnut streets, today. "The treat need In alt this country Is for better Americans," said Mrs. Oleason. "If It Is Imperathe In States that nre homo Kenous, where only one language Is spoken, where virtually eery one has the same Ideals of cltlsenshlp, vrhero every one shares the same history and the names of Washington and Lincoln make a com mon appeal, what can be snld of such need In Pennsylvania, where we have n confusion of tongues and customs, and where thousands upon thousands under stand nothing of our Ideals of eltlienshlpT" "Now, I am optimistic enough to believe there h not a single club here represented that could not do something to make better cltltens of some of Its neighbors, and It does not at all follow that those neighbors have reasonably come from other lands. Their ancestors may have been here before the Liberty Hell hung In the old belfry, and still they may not be really good cltltens. Will you not all during the com ing year give serious consideration to the question of building up a better American cttlten. and by doing So help preserve a noble State T" Mrs. dleason also urged the delegates to pay more attention to the social sides of club work. She said she had great respect for a cup of tea, and added: "One of the most thrilling things in ciun life Is to look back and see how our social vision hat widened. We have grown to see the IndMduat as part of the com munity, and the community as a responsible unit In the State. "t think It li not too much to claim that club women have done a great deal to broaden the outlook of their oniclals In their home towns. More and more do our local governmenta roallse that they must consider the care of the people as well aa their control: that It Is their duty to look'to housing, health and recreation as well as to police and fire protection." It was announced that thirty-four new clubs with n membership of (800 members had been, admitted to the federation during the year. This makes n total of 3SS clubs with more than 6J.00O members. Kdward J. Cattell, city statistician, wel comed the delegates on behalf of the city.
