In expressing his views on the sub
t.-1. -I...,-. r-t... r Patterson, o
Common Pleas Court No. 1, said.
"From mv past experience as n mem
ber of the district attorneys staff as
well as mv present observations on tne
bench, I conclude that it is always un
wise to crant paroles without the con
sul of all parties concerned. I have
always invited an assistant district at
torney to be present when the case
comes before me, as well as the proba
tion officer. In my opinion, it is par
ticularly important that the probation
officer be consulted because he is
charged -writh the custody of the ac-
niin.il ,l,11a tin la n TMrrtl.
"I believe in the public conduct of
sucli proceedings on me general prin
ciple that all Judicial functions should
be performed under the public eye.

Favors Open-Court Hearing
President Judge Charles T. Auden
ried, of Common Pleas Court No. 4,
said :
"Proceedings bearing upon an appli
cation for the parole of a prisoner
should take plarc, in my opinion, in
open court. 1 do not wish to discuss
Ihe question except as it applies in the
com! in which I sit, because I have
onlj to consider my own public duty in
the matter.
".Since 1 have been a member of the
judiciary 1 hae alwajs held such hear
ings in open court, with the district
attorney's, office represented, and if the
priboncr wbh paroled it was because of
some renou ndvauced before the rail.
Jt hould he understood that the, law
docs not require this, but that it is done
as a matter of simple" Justice. T am
mcrcl. lelling you what the practice is
in my court,"
Judge Audenried vns nikcd whether
the board of judges nad ever officially
considered this problem and replied he
could not rccull such consideration by
the judiciary. Discretion in parole
cases, he explained', was vested ex
jrti"ivelj in the courts, and while re
quests might bo addressed to the board
on such matters there was no legal
icquircmcnt that the judges discuss
Mich petitions.
Kotan Favors Publicity
Judge William H. Staake, of Com
mon Pleas Court No. G, was unwilling
to express any opinion. He" explained
that public expressions on such ques
tions might indicate a prejudice on the
part of the judge on an issue which
might subsequently nrisc in his court.
President Judge Charles Jt. Brown,
, of the Municipal Court, said:
"The case which has been just dis
disced in the public press is an ex
i optional incident. I do not want to
talk about a judicial subject which
concerns an associate. It is the gen
eral practice to hear such cases openly."
HOSPITAL NEEDS MONEY
Douglass Institution Must Discon
tinue Unless Funds Are Obtained
"We have no coal, we have no sugar;
our childreps wards are cold ; unless
financial assistance is forthcoming, and
at once, the Frederick Douglass Me
morial Hospital must give up its splen
did work and pasfc out of existence."
This was the declaration of Dr.
Nathan F. Mossell. head, of the Doug
labs Hospital, 1B30 Lombard street,
yesterday, in an anneal for contrilm.
tions in the institution's campaign to
raise .jju.wwu, wnicu opens tomorrow.
The hospital cost $118,000, he said,
of which only a small part has been
paid from the savings of colored people,
the state having contributed but $8000,
with a S22.000 mnrtcace still srnn.llnrr
In addition, the. hospital is in debt
$10,000 for maintenance. Because of
the high cost of living and the low
wages ot ine patients treated there,
Doctor Mossell declared, the managers
have steadfastly lefused to increase the
room rates.
Furthermore, said Doctor Mossell,
the hospital is without adequate
muses' quaiters, and an effort will be
made, if funds, arc obtained, to build
n dormitory upon an adiaccnt lot which
the institution owns. Linen and gen
cial equipment are also limllr n,UA'
Little children in the wards, Doctor
Mossell told the campaign committee
ji-sieniny, are contriDutlng their pen
nies to the drive, and one of the pa
tients, a white child, jielded a Liberty
