sabe: MR hi AND ROBS GUESTS ree. Syracuse Seeks Clever 'Rogue Claiming Montreal As His Home > ---- Syracuse, N.Y, Dee, 14---After Inviting 16 prominent physicians to a» dinner at which he was to pro- pose the construction of a $100.- 000 sanatorium, Dr. R, J, Youngs, who gave his address as Montreal and said he was ja Canadian war veteran, left his hotel, the Mount Royal, at Homer, a suburb of Syra- cuse, and uncermoniously fled, the quarry of a police gearch as the burglar. who looted five residences here, Dr, Youngs, also known as Dr. williams, registered at the hotel on Saturday and then called upon rominent residents in the suburbs, i 9 a banker and a physician, apd after ingratiating himself re- turned later to rob their homes, The "doctor" was to. outline his plans to the Syracuse Academy of Medicine = Tuesday night, The guests and the police arrived at the hotel simultaneously, The doc- tors waited for several hours, as did'the detectives, but Youngs did not appear, It is believed that Youngs care- fully Jaid his plans, looking over the residences that he visited, At the home of the physician he stole valuable medical supplies and ex- pensive eldthing, According to the police Youngs is a Canadian war veteran and re- ceives $200 monthly as compensa- tion for injuries received in the war, As he fled he left behind some workmen's compensation slips signed by Dr. R. J. Williams in 8 bag which contained a full kit of medical supplies, The files of the registrar at Me- Gill University disclose no Dr. R J. Youngs or Dr. R. J. Williams, The medical faculty files con» tain a number of Youngs and Wil- liams, but pone with the same ini- tials, No such pensions as that mentioned are paid in Canada to men as active as the "doctor." STARS ARE FAVORED FOR SHIPS' NAMES Vessel of English Registry Bears Longest Name, Lloyds Shows If all the ships bearing the names of Jupiter, Venus and Sirius were to dock im Montreal at the same time, there would not be room for any more ships. A glance through Lloyd's Regis- ter. which contains the names of more than 23.000 vessels of all na- tionelities, discloses the fact that there are no less than 28 vessels bearing the mame of Jupiter, 25° bearing the name of Venus, and 19 celled Sirius, making a total of 72 ships sharing the gthree names. it is impossible to fom any idea why go mrany nationalities pick the pames of stars for their ships, for Mars, Saturn and others are also . swell represented in the Register. Montreal is only represented once, the ship carrying the name of this city being the ex-Koenig Friedrich August, now owned by the C.P.R. No less than 21 vessels carry the mame Hercules, while the same Viking accounts for 15 ships The name Odin, too, appears no less than seven times.

The latter, however, has its legislative incorporation from the Quebec Legislature and does not require further power from Par- lianrent, The ; essential condition, however is the approval of its plans by the Public Works Department now 8 subject of consideration, CLAY NORTHONTT KILLED BOY INB.G.

Daugherty and H, M. Og- den, Los Angeles detectiye, left for California Monday night, The two detectives said their evidence: indicated the existence of a2 "northern annex to the murder farm," at Riverside California.

Go here and let them explain to you the wr ine of this re mark~hle mod REPORT PRESENTED ' (Continued from Pabe 1) there are 'so many who do respond to kindly treatment, that we take on fresh courage and with happy hearts we lead the way to better things, . Statistics i The following is a statistical out- line of the activities of the year that has just closed, 48 applica- tions for children; 34 children brought to shelter (not wards); 82 children received from Juvenile Court; 49 children returned to par- ents (not wards); 1924 children involved; 25 children made wards of the Society; 10 children sent to the Industrial School; 99 com- plaints; 168 investigations; 1043 mail received; 1125 mail sent out; 14 meetings attended or address- ed; 5845 mileage (aproximately) covered; 454 Office Interviews; 37 parents or guardians prosecuted; 109 Places visited outside the city; 59 Court attendances; 21 wards placed out; 18 wards returned to shelter; 80 wards visited; 256 warn- ings given; 74 U, P, cases; 18 Le- gal adoptions; 988 children reports ing; 5 children taken to hospital for treatment; 6 children releas- ed from supervision; 11 children in the shelter at present, Besides this there are hundreds of phone calls that must be attend- ed to and visits to schools to dis- cuss with teachers acts of truancy and other misdemeanors, . Health The health of our children 1s be able to report, that except for a mild attack of mumps and one ease of jaundice, we have a clean bill of health for the year. We are to be congratulated in having the hearty and unanimous co-operation of the medical men of our city and of Dr. T. W, G, McKay and his e-rrllent staff of public health nurses, x The doctors of the city take turns in treating free of charge any rases of illness among our children. The dentists too treat us in the same generous manner. And on behalf of the members of our Society and of our boys and girls, we desire to express our ap- preciation of these splendid ser- vices, We also wish to acknowiedze our indebtedness to scores of friends in the city and in the country for their many generous donations of food nd clothing. Many a box of fruit or cake or candy indicates the good will of some of our city organiz- ations. At this point, your officers ex- press their appreciation for the co- operation of social service organiz- ations, of the courts and: 2ourt of- ficials, z Reeves and county of- ficials. eir help has been neces- sary to the success of our efforts in seeking better conditions in the lives of the children needing care and attention. The Shelter Our children's home, the shelter is being supervised in a splendid manner by our matron Miss Col- ver, To the lady mgmbers of our ex- ecutive falls the task of supervising the material comforts of the shelter and you may rest assured that the little ones are well looked after. Our Executive realizes very fully that the time is near at hand and the demands of the work are such that a new and modern building is absolutely necessary. Some generous and loving carefully guarded: We are glad to |' hearts have already recognized the splendid work the soclety is doing for the boys and girls of our county who are not getting a fair chance in lite and they have set apart cer- tain sums through their wills to he used in extending our work, We hope these amounts will be further supplemented so that we can build and endow a Home for the home- legs boys and girls of our city and county, We have been wishing too that some kind friend, society or organ- izatfon would instal in the shelter a radio outfit, , This would certainy spell a great deal of pleasure for the young- sters during these long winter nights and would bring some of the world's finest musical and lit- erary contributions into their some- what drab lives, During this year a total of 74 new cases of children horn out of wedlock were brought to our atten- tion, ] In all these cases a strong effort is made to see that the child con- sernedt is given proper care, either by relatives or in boarding homes, In some cases the only solution;is to take the child under the care of the Society, there being no oth- er means of making provision for its care. Home Finding To find good foster homes whew our wards may be surrounded by healthful, home-like infleunces is one of the first care of a Child- ren's Aid Society, Twenty-one wards have placed" during this year, Adoptions We have been enabled to find splendid permanent homes for thir- teen of our little tots during the 'ear, And it is one of our greatest pleasures to note the flood of joy that surges up from the hearts in- to the faces of the father and mota- | er when they clasp their new found child in their arms, We have three or four very fine little boys whom we know would till some homes now vacant, so far as childish laughter and brightness is concerned, with joy. Surely there are some people who would loye tv open their hearts and homes to these little chaps. The Unplaceable Child The problem of the unplaceable child is still a very real one acd is been ern Ontario will each have a sim- {lar institution to which the hoys and girls in our shelters, to whom 1 hage referred, may be sent, so that, they to may get a fair chance to become real worth while citizens and not become human driftwodd, prey for the human vultures that shadow them or victims of their Deliguents Act, which is federal legislation. The Children's Court is 'a court in which children's cases are heard outside the ordinary po- lice courts, but the procedure comes under the provisions of the Crim- inal Code. Once the Juvenile delinquents act has been proclaimed, all children's own ignorance and helplessness. intthe minds of many 'people be- tween a Children's Court, such as axists in Oshawa, and a properly constituted Juvenile Court. latter can be established only on the Proclamation of the Juvenile not being diminished. I had the pleasure this summer Provincial Institution at Orillia | McGhie. This institution has developed in- | to more than a mere place for the | housing of those boys and girls who | fall far away below the average mentality of their fellows. It has | become a great school where child- ren are encouraged to use what | measure of intelligence the possess however low it may be, in develop- | ing further powers of self help. | There were all classes of children | there and in every stage of mental weakness and helplessness. Some of them, we would be in- clined to think, were perfectly hopeless, but to watch them in the course of their activities we could detect signs of improvement, Oth- ers again were perhaps only a few derrees below normal: it was gimp- peing taught to do, not, as mech- anical automatons, but with dis- cerning intelligence. There are young men and young women coming out from that great school, mentally equipped under the protection of friendly guardianship to fill a worth whilepplace among their fellows. é I am anxious that the day will to be invited to ppy a visit to the '§ which is under the direction of Dr. | cases must he dealt with under that Act, under which a child offender is known as a "delinquent' and his offence a "deliquency'? and there is no suggestion of the terms "'crime' and "criminal." The child does not plead as in the regular courts but is asked whether or not he has committed the offence of which he The Juvenile Court, JThere has been some confusion The Canadian Bankru has been accused, The aim of the udge of a Juvenile Court is to act s a parent toward the child and ny action he takes is with a view to doing what is best for the future of the child, A case may be reman- ded indefinitely --as long as the child stays out of trouble--and in such cases a report would not be sent to Ottawa. . There are other advantages of a Juvenile Court which we have not time to go into here, but we feel that all our citizens shoyld endorse and support the recent aGtion of the City Council in making an effort to have the Juvenile 'Delinquents Act proclaimed for this city, It has been thought by both the members of our Executive and many friends and contributors to the funds of our Society, that we should have a membership roll, We are sure there are scores of people in the city and throughout the County that are deeply inter ested in our work and who would like to assist in a finaneial way, We have decided to opes a meme bership Roll placing the minimum fee at $1.00 per year, The roll is open to-night; pro- perly endorsed = receipts will be mailed to every subscribing mem- ber, : 0.
