Charges that Judge Kathryn Sel- lers of the Juvenile Court of the Dis- trict is paying attention only to evi- dence given in her court by the Board of Children’s Guardians and social workers and does not give due con- sideration to testimony of other wit- nesses were made at a hearing today before & Senate judiciary subcommit- tee on the nomination of Judge Sel- lers to succeed herself as judge of the Juvenile Court. An assertion was made also that Judge Sellers was herself liable to indictment because her brother, Charles A. Sellers, is employed as deputy clerk in the Juvenile Court, in violation of a statute which provides that near relatives of judges shall not be employed in courts over which they preside. The hearing today was given over en- tirely to opponents of the confirmation of Judge Sellers. Friends and support- ers will be given a hearing later. During the hearing criticism was aimed at the Board of Childrens’ Guar- dians and at soclal workers in the Dis- trict appearing before the committee as well as at Judge Sellers. Mrs. C. F. Winters of the mothers’ council, who has been active in opposi- tion to the confirmation of Judge Sellers, asked for a further hearing. Senator Means, chairman, ruled that state- ments in writing might be filed for inclusion in thé record. Walter W. Burns, attorney for Judge Willis Brown, who was charged with contempt of court by Judge Sellers because of articles he wrote which were published in the newspapers, told the committee that Judge Sellers lacked humanity, and that she asked leading questions of gome of the children brought into her court. Mr. Burns and Iredel Meares told the committee that in their opinion Judge Sellers could be in- dicted because her brother is em- ployed as deputy clerk of the Juvenile Court. Mr. Burns asked that Maj. Donovan, for the District, be summoned to testify re- garding salaries pald and positions held in the Juvenile Court. J. W. Carson of Herald Harbor, Md., who said he was a taxpayer in the District, told the committee it was not possible to get justice in the Juvenile Court, and Bertha Kolik also testified that Judge Sellers was not fair. Mrs. Kolik is a mother of 11 children. She told the committee that her children had been taken from her, but that she had gotten them back, except her girls. Ohe of the girls, 16 vears old, she sald, ran away from the home in which she had been placed because she was insulted by the man of the House. Mrs. L. M. Clements also testified that it was impossible to get justice in the Juvenile Court. Mrs. Kenyon of 600 G street southeast described to the committee how the Juvenile Court had sought to control her six children. Senator Caraway asked the witness if Judge Sellers let people talk to her, about cases coming up in her court before trial. “It appears so,” Mrs. Kenyon said. She admitted that she had no direct auditor “| information in regard to that. Extra Pants to Match, $5 :Group No. 3—280 Suits .
