GIRLS OF TENDER AGE WALKSTREETS Chief Gormon. Says Police Are Given Trouble. Cooperation Asked.

Chief of Police Gormon stated today that considerable trouble is caused the police by young children loitering on the streets at late hours of the night. He said that the curfew law is disregarded and lays the blame for it, In many oases, on the parents. The police state that young girls walk the streets at night. They are often told to go to their homes. Chief Gormon stated that this condition cannot be remedied without the help of the parents and that in many cases where girls have been told to stay home at night, the parents are indignant because of the interference of the police. Chief Gormon says that in some cases the mothers want the children to stay at home and are unable to keep them there. He said that in these rasps the police do all they can to keep the children from loitering on the streets. Every night the telephones at police headquarters are busy answering calls from worried mothers asking If the police know where their sons or daughters are. Gormon added that the curfew law can only be enforced with the co-operation of the parents with the police. "If the parents knew the dangers tbey are subjecting their children to," he said ''(hey would assist the police in keeping the children at home after the time iet by the curfew."

CONNERSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 27 Mable Smith was returned to her parents' home in this city yesterday in the custody of a deputy sheriff from Cincinnati. The girl went to Cincinnati Saturday night, intending to marry James Hillman Fields, of 904 Vine street. Fields called at the Place of Detention yesterday morning to pay goodby to her and Lieutenant of Detectives Poppe gave him a scoring for his actions in the matter. Fields, however, insisted he would meet the girl in Chicago and marry her. Saturday night Fields and Miss Smith both said that she was 17 years of age. Yesterday in the presence of the deputy sheriff from Connersville the girl admitted that she was but 15.

l County Attorney John Robbins said jhe believed that the incoming surveyor 'should assume all work whether comipleted or not. Wilfred Jessup differed j with the county attorney and declared tthat Horton was the legitimate office holder until his work was completed. The decisions handed down by the i courts may be decisive for all counties

in the state. Peacock filed a bond in the sum of $5,000 as engineer and viewer of the improvement of the National road east and also $5,000 for each of the following roads, Liberty pike, Richmond. Newport Turnpike and the Olive Scantland road.

COURT NEWS

(Continued from Page One) referred to the petitioners. A remonstrance signed by a majority of the resident property owners was presented.

The plans for the improvement of Southwest A street from Fifth street to Eleventh street in West Richmond were modified to call for a five-foot cement walk instead of a six-foot walk as first specified. Property owners objected to the wide walk on the grounds that it would be necessary to remove a number of large 'ees in the construction of the walks. ers stated that they were against i proving the street further than Ninth street, but later withdrew their objection. The resolution for the improvement of Southwest D street from Second street to the Earlham campus was taken under advisement for a year. It was stated that much traffic .would pass over the street when the school house is built. Several property owners remonstrated. The improvement on South Second .street from A street to B street was confirmed. The improvement of Eighth street from North E street to South H street was confirmed. This improvement calls for brick paving and cement curb, gutter and walks at all places where those improvements have not already been made. A sanitary sewer from North G street to th$ river between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets was ordered by the board of health.

Suit was filed by Clayton A. Miller against the unknown heirs of the following deceased persons: George Village, William Thompson, Alfred Vinage, Ebenezer Chessman, Alexander McAllister, Richard Ellsbury, William Culbertson and Thomas Culbertson. The complaint requests the court to quiet title on land in Wayne county on which the defendants claim to hold interest. The plaintiff avers that the claims of the defendants are unfounded.

.If,

after swearing by all the stars your love will never die, you stand up before a solemn looking minister and promise to love, and all the rest, the chances are a little better than 8 to 1 that you'll be divorced in a few short years. That is what records show. The fifteenth biennial report of the bureau of labor statistics com-

piled by John P. McLaughlin, state la

bor commissioner, shows that the number of divorces has increased

more rapidly than marriages during the past six years. With 28,967 marriage licenses issued in California, there were 3,969 decrees of divorce i ground out by the courts, which I

means that there were 13.6 per cent as many divorces as marriages.
