Amendment to Be Voted On Intro duces Indeternrlnnte Sentence Into Tolice Court Practice. The first move in the general plan to establish a detention nome ior wo m.n to take the place of the women's ward In the Jails Is to be passed upon h the voters at the city election aion day. The question appears on the bal lot as numbers 11S and 117. It Is a proposed amendment to the charter, providing, in addition to the penalties Imposed under the present charter for violation of city ordinances by women, a term of confinement for offenders in detention or Industrial home for an Indeterminate period not exceeding two years. This maximum term of two years confinement leaves It to the discretion of the Municipal Judge to give a long er or shorter minimum term to each convicted violator of city ordinances, as well as the maximum term. In other words, this amendment Introduces the indeterminate sentence Into police court practice. Under the present charter the use of the Indeterminate sentence Is not con sldered. as the ordinances drafted un der the charter show. In five different sections of the city ordinances there are as many slightly different ways of punishing the of fense of prostitution: and In the word ing of all five fining Is given the pref erence, and in only two ts imprison ment an alternative. 1 nese lines range from $5 to 1200. The oenaltv for keeping a disorder ly house Is a fine ranging from Z& to 1100. The practical working of the present system la Indicated by the fact that In th. 18 months ending June 30. 1912, there were 1500 women arrested for offenses against morality, and 638 were fined. 215 received suspended sentences and 108 were given short terms in jaiL The revenue paid into the city treasury from this source during the penoa men tinned was S18.015. if the nronosed amendment is aaoptea at the polls next Monday It will permit of an entirely different system of treat ing these offenders. It also will per mit of different treatment of male va grants, drunkards and drug fiends who at present contribute to me cut ireas- ry go to the roegpue as an alter native.
