Commissioner Woodruff questioned
the propriety of such n condition. lie
Indicated that the apparent question

! nan-owned places was u proper subject
of inquiry.
Acting en the suRRestlen. Director
Cortelyou later said he would see te it
Jminedintrly tli.it meniberH of his de
partment, whether ordinary' policemen or
rated efficiuls, give an nceeunt of the
management of nny rooming houses they
conduct.
Casey Started (he Inquiry .
The hearing which turned attention
te the ronming-heiisc situation was
that of Policeman Jehn J. C'nscy, of
the Tentli and Iliittonweod streets sta
tion. He faced serious charges In con
nection with Jennie Wilkinson, of
Hazelton, I'a. Casey nnd the girl were
arrested last week In n roeminp heuc
evened nnd operated by the accused
policeman lit Twelfth nnd (Jreen
streets.
At a previous hearing before Judge
Prewn in Morals Court Casey was
held In $400 ball for u further hearing.
The girl, who was said te linve been
en probation when found with the pd
llcemnu, was plnced in charge of a
matron.
Cnsey was found guilty of the
chargei by the Civil Service Commo
tion and was illsmlssed from the force.
The testimony of Acting Idnutenn'nt
TCnlsn, of the station lieum te which
Cafcy belonged, developed the ether
angle of the hearing.
Commissioner Woodruff asked him
whether ether policemen In his district
operated rooming houses. Lieutenant
Walfh said they did.
Dad for the Force Says Wiilsli
, "De you think It Is Reed for the
morale of the force te permit policemen
te be owners or proprietors of rooming
houses such ns owned by Case," Mr.
Woodruff nskrd.
"I de net." Walsh replied, "but I
have been told there are pelleemen who
own four and five such houses."
"In what districts de these police
men de duty?" "I cannot give nnv
direct answer te that ether than my
Oin, in which, I believe, six members
of the force own and conduct such
plners."
The commission retired for nearly
an hour before reporting their decision
te dismiss Cnsej , Commiienr
Woodruff announced n conference
would be arranged immediately with
Director Corteljeu.
Director Corteljeu sold he was
greatlj surprised te hear of policemen
owning and 'conducting lodging lieiisc
of alleged questionable nature.
"Xe one has ever told lue directlv
or indirectly that policemen conduct
anv such rooming lieues." he taid.
"Se far I have received no ullirliil word
from the Civil Service CommNsien
about the reported conditions, but I
can assure jeu 'that no vtene will be

5 SUMMER J
UDGES
UffiDBY ROGERS
Courts, Falling Behind With
Werk, May Adept Plan te
Catch Up
ONE 'ONLY HAS SERVED
Judge Jeseph P. Rogers has pro pre pro
nefred te bis fourteen colleagues of the
Common Pleas Courts that five of them
instead of one work next summer te
expedite legal business which has in
creased se heavily the last few years.
In the ordinary course of events,
summer means a vacntien for all Judges
but one. Judge Rogers proposal is
that one Judge linll sit all summer In
each of the five courts hearing all regu
lar cases, instead of one Judge sitting
te hear only special cabC for all five
courts.
Just a week from tednv a decision
will be mnde. The propesnl has nlrrady
been heard by the Judges and referred
te their Civil Committee for discussion.
Kuslness has increased 200 ner cent
In the last five tyears In the Court of
Common Pleas. Notwithstanding the
piling up of cases the live divisions
virtually adjourn throughout the sum
mer. Any business that would ordi
narily come up In Court 1. ii or nny
ether court, comes up before one Judge
sitting, net ns the Judge of that par
tcular division, but as a summer court.
w
And it Is admitted that this court as
n rule, sits only ler emergency busi
ness; the ordinary-course of litigation
Is suspended.
Judge RegcrB' idea Is that, with n
Judge sitting in each division, the
cases in that division would go en all
summer. Judge Mm tin does net un
derstand It that way. "Tlic summer
court." he snld yesterday, "has the
power new te deal with ordinary busi
ness. It does deal mainly with emer
gency business, but it lias the same
Jurisdiction that each 'of the five courts
has. In the summer the lawyers nre
largely nwny nnd litigation Mnckens up
of Its own nccerd. Te keep each divi
sion open all summer for Its own busi
ness will change the form of the sum
mer court, but the jurisdiction will be
the same."
