She insisted that such action was not taken, and that the t act of the natlonal association had been to strike the words “and children” out of the earlier meas on this same subject. She argue that no matter how well trained and experienced they may be in welfare work, policewomen are not qualified 10 take over the powers of a judge and jury.

Mr. Rathbone reminded Mrs. Rafter that “certain latitude should be given any police officer.” Mrs. Rafter re- plied that the measure now under con- sideration “is much more dangerous than the bill last vear, and the police. women whould not be given authority to go into logislative, executive and judictal functions.” " Mr. Rathbone quearioned whether Mrs. Rafter's ob Jections were on “a moot question or an actual evil.” Mrs. Kalmbach Tells Instances. Mrs. Kalmbach sald that for about five vears she had been attending the Aessions of the Juvenlle Court, and she told the commitioa of several spe- cific inatances under her observation in which she believed the policewomen had overstepped thefr authority. M Kalmbach also called attention to very brosd anthority which would be conferred on policewomen under the cluuse “preventive detective work," Mrs. Kalmbach explained the differ. ence In aititude with which the police- women and the .Juvenlle Court ap prosch the subject of children, suying that the court tries to make the mini- Ler of convictions, while the police try (0 make the maximum. Mr. Rathbune usked if at the bot- tom of Lhis controversy was the ques- tion whether the greater jurisdiction or power shall be given to the Juve. nile Court or to the Policewomen's Bu- reaun. Mr. Hammer questioned where the line of demarcation liea between the policewomen’s bill and the pend- ing general welfare bill, and whether appeal will have to be made 10 the court for a determination as to where they overlap.
