VISITS REFORM SCHOOL

OVER STATE INSTITUTION.
Juvenile Court Magistrate Making
Hiiux-ir Familiar With Dutlrs
of tlie Work.
Judge Raiitenhrin visited the State
Reform Sehool at Salem yesterday in
order to faniillnrize himself with the
work there. He lias also visited the
Prtentlon Home of the Boys" and Girls'
Aid Society and the House of the Good
Shrpn'rT as he wishes to understand
the Inside workings of the homes to
whieh he must send some of the chil
dren who will come before him as
judge of the Juvenile Court, for jus
tice. Much dissatisfaction is felt by those
connected with the Juvenile Court
work over the change of Probation Of
ficer Haw'.ey to a police beat, his work
with the Juvenile Court being one for
which he is said to be eminently fit
ted. Those familiar with the work
my it would be difficult for another
to acquire Mr. Hawley's experience in
less than several years, owing to the
larre number of wards which the court
looks nftir and the fact that old cases
are continually being revived.
B. 9. Pague, a prominent member of
the Juvenile Improvement Association,
said last night:
"Mr. Hawley is an ideal man for the
Juvenile Court work. I think he has
a better knowledge of the delinquent
children of the city than any other
man. He also has a peculiar fascina
tion and hold upon the children with
whom he deals. I have frequently
been with him when we would meet
children who had formerly gone
wrong, but who had been set on the
right track through his efforts.
"1 cannot sperk for the other members
of the association, but personally I feel
that we cannot get along for any
length of time without Mr. Hawley,
for no other man can fill his peculiar
place. The next meeting of the
Juvenile Improvement Association will
be held within two weeks, and I per
sonally Intend to take the matter up
with the association to see what can
be done toward reinstating Mr. Haw
ley in his former place.
"It is probable that the next Legis
lature will provide for a Juvenile Court
judge in addition to the Circuit judges.
In that case the judge will appoint his
own officers. Should Mr. Hawley re
sign from the police force now he
could not be reinstated. I do not
understand what the Police Commis
sion means by making such a change."

Examiner Calls Tpon Them to Sign
Agreements to Leave Their
Money in the Bank.
Another step toward the reopening of
the Merchants National Bank was taken
yesterday, when Bank Examiner "Wilson
began accepting the agreements of depos
itors to leave their money In the Institu
tion for stated periods on time certifi
cates. This is a precaution required by
the Government in all such cases, and at
least one-half of the deposits must be so
protected before the reopening can be or
dered. Many certificates were issued yes
terday, and the receiver and J. Frank
Watson, president of the bank, believe
that it will be but a short time before a
large proportion of the deposits is repre
sented. Letters explaining the situation and
blank contracts are being sent to all de
positors. The first of these were mailed
yesterday. The contracts are to leave de
posits In the bank for periods of six, 12,
IS and 24 months, according to the amount
of the claim. The certificates will bear 3
per cent interest, and it is expected that
they will circulate aa collateral. It baa
been decided not to ask depositors with
claims of less than $100 to sign agree
ments, and their accounts will be avail
able, if they desire to draw on them, as
soon as the bank resumes business.
Mr. Wilson and Mr. Watson explain
that the signing of these contracts does
not necessarily mean that the money will
be tied up for the whole time. The cer
tificates are simply to safeguard the mu
tual interest of bank and depositors. It
is the intention of the bank officials to
pay off depositors just as rapidly as ad
visable, where they need their money.
This precaution is not only for . the
benefit of bank and depositors, but It will
allow the institution to transact business
without pressing those owing the bank.
Examiner Wilson expresses himself as
greatly pleased with the disposition
s-hown 'by depositors to sign the time
agreements without delay and thus expe
dite the reopening. He wishes to empha
size the fact that depositors should call
at the. bank at the earliest possible mo
ment and take up this matter. In this
way bu."iness will be resumed . at the
earliest possible date, which is especially
desirable in view of the extra expense In
curred every day the institution remains
closed
Mr. Wilson yesterday received a letter
from the Controller of the Currency at
Washington, asking what progress was
being made, and if a date had been set
for the reopening. Mr. Wilson desires to
correct a published statement that this
telegram called for a report on the con
dition of tho bank. The Inquiries about
the reopening were incidental to a mes
sage about another matter.
