TODAY'S AMUSEMENTS. POLIGEWOMEN'S |. WORK 1S PRAISED Importance in Prevention of I Crime Stressed at “Spon- sors’ Luncheon.” Prominent delegates to the nationai konference for reduction of crime and other leaders praised the work of policewomen’s bureaus and stressed the importance of the lat- ter’s work in crime prevention and in the exercise of corrective work among delinquents at a “sponsors’ luncheon” of the International Association of Policewomen in the Willard Hotel yesterday. During the luncheon the mssociation received assurance from Mrs. John D. Sherman, president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, that the latter organization will continue to support and work for the improvement of the various po- licewomen's bureaus. Mrs. Robert Lansing, Washington hairman for the international asso- ciation, called the meeting to order mnd introduced Mrs. Mina C. Van Vinkle, head of the local Police- omen’s Bureau and president of the Jnternational Association of Police- women, who presided. ‘The first speaker, Mrs. Halsey ¥iske, member of the board of the New_ York Reformatory for Women &t Bedford and a leading church worker, stressed the importance of preventive work among juveniles by properly guiding them and teaching them how to avoid doing wrong. Most girls who have been leading im- moral lives, she said, say they began by being “picked up” after seeing a motion picture or attending a cabaret. he advocated that the general work f the policewomen's bureaus be ex- tended not only in this country but abroad. She charged that the chief drawback in England, however, has been Prime Minister Baldwin, who, ehe charged, thinks the work done by policewomen is not the proper work for women, but should be done by men. Crime Prevention Urged. Dr. Katherine Bement Da tor of the Bureau of Social and the International Association of Policewomen, and who had the dis- tinction of being the first woman in the United States to be appointed a ‘commissioner of charities and correc- tions, emphasized that the work of ‘the policewomen should be along the Jlines of crime prevention and that ‘they should do only certain types of ‘work. Joeb H. Banton, district attorney of 'New York, highly praised the work wof policewomen and declared that in New York County a few policewomen have succeeded in practically “‘doing away with quack practitioners, some- thing that 15 men had been unable to_do.” Mrs. Jessie Hodder, recognized au- thority on penology and connected with an institution for woman prison- ers at Sherbourne, Mass,, declared a mew problem is being faced in dealing with woman prisoners due to an age decrease for those committed to an average of 22 to 23 years in place of 34 years. She added that a “reforma- tory is only a makeshift” and that it cannot teach a community, pointing out that it is the everyday home and community surroundings of the indi- vidual that count in his or her be- havior. James Hepbron, head of the Balti- more Criminal Justice Commission, emphasized the importance of crime preventive work among children, and praised the work in this connec- tion being done by the policewomen's ‘bureaus. Other Speakers at Luncheon. Other speakers Included: Sergt. Rhoda Milliken of the Washington Po- Jicewomen's Bla‘u ‘who told of the xreat number of missing children be- tween the ages of 14 years in this city; Dr. Mary is, who has served in official capacities in girls® reformatories in Ne York and New Jersey and who advocated a thorough examination of every individual be- tween the time of conviction and com- mitment to determine the prisoner's mental and physical congdition; Herbert C. Parsons, deputy commissioner of probation in Massachusetts, who de. clared he wanted woman probation of- ficers in every court in Massachusetts and advocated separate policewomen’s bureaus in every city; Dr. Ellen C. Potter of the Department of Public Welfare in New Jersey, who empha- sized the importance of women'’s clubs “’molding® public opinion” toward work done by policewomen, and Dr. Ray- mond Moley, professor of criminology at Columbia University. Giving what he termed causes for the increase in crimes, Dr. Moley blamed the traffic problem in the large cities, through which, he said, the ‘work of the police is diverted from actually running down criminals. “Po- Jicemen are primarily thief chasers,” he added. He advocated segregation of the traffic departments from other police activities as a remedy for this alleged difficulty and in order to give more policemen more time to track criminals. Mrs. Helen D. Pigeon, executive sec- retary of the International Association of Policewomen, declared that it is the desire of the association to dispel the fear many of the general public have for police and to secure their co-opera- tion in working with the police for the general welfare of citizens. Husband Wins Decree. Justice Hitz yesterday awarded Rudolph Hemans, a jeweler, Kresge Bulldmg, an interlocutory decree of &nnulment of the marriage with Mrs, Bessie F. Hemans, which took place April_11, 1915, at Hoboken, N. J. Mrs. Hemans brought suit for an ab- wolute divorce, but the husband coun- tered with an application for an an- nulment, setting forth that the cere- mony was performed before Mrs. He- mans had been granted a final decree of absolute divorce from her former husband.
