MRS. 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

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.

Mrs. nonald r. 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.
