CHICAGO POLICE BEING CRITICIZED Judge Huston of That Holds Up New York As Model. System Atlantic City, May 31.—Declariny that he did not think much of the vo- lice force of his own city, Chicago, Judge John Huston of the juvenile court of that city, praised the systam in New York city at'the convention of the National Probation associxtion here today. It was inevitable that the police should seek to get major indictments against every offender upon whom aid. It was equally natural that they should attribute the wave of motor banditry which has been sweeping over the country to an excess of lenieicy upon the part of parole and probution offi- cer: “Nothing could possivly be more futile,” Dr. H.

There is a strong feeling on the part of members of the house from rural districts that their communities want the law repealed, but unles: they make out a particularly good case any repeal measure probably will go be- fore the house on its own merits in- stead of as a rider to an appropriation bill 1f friends of the law find the house in favor of repeal they will ma effort to postpone its effective date un- til next year.
