'Are l'arents to Be Blamed in Kyes of Law for Exposing Children to Pitfalls?" Is Problem in Case of Mrs. William Hodse. The responsibility of a mother for the delinquency of ner 15-year-old daughter who was allowed to be in the company of men at public dances and all-night restaurants, is a ques tion District Judge Jones left for higher courts to decide when he bound over Mrs. Will Hodge, of 114 East Twenty-sixth street, to the grand jury for contributing to the delinquency of her daughter, Frances. Decision on this question will affect the status of all parents with regard to their responsibility for their chil dren's actions, and Judge Jones said that he felt confident that the case would go up to the Supreme Court for rinal judgment. Mrs. Hodge divorced a former hus band in Pendleton and came to Port land last October with her daughter. Daughter Con franc Downfall. Since she came here her daughter formed evil associations, and has con fessed of her downfall to Juvenile Court officials and Deputy District At torney Robinson. Her assertions have implicated several men. and Will Fray, a taxicab driver, and a 17-year-old boy have been taken into custody as a result. Mrs. Hodge, on the stand, testified yesterday that she had no idea that her daughter had gone wrong, saying that she had cautioned her many times against the pitfalls of a city. "If I had the money I would never have allowed her to go anywhere with anyone but myself, said Mrs. Hodge, Judge Jones Undecided. Judge Jones said that he was unde cided on the question, but that the mother could be held to strict account for the actions of her daughter, in the case before him. He said that the mother could not be charged with the delinquency itself, and that her re sponsibility was a moot question. "If the mother's act constituted a crime, there is evidence enough, with out doubt, to hold the mother to the grand jury," said Judge Jones. "It may be improper for a mother to leave her 15-year-old daughter at a dance, but is it a crime under the law?" The court pointed out that the mother contributed to no part of the actual delinquency, and that her only crime if it might be termed a crime was in taking the girl to dances and leav ing her, unprotected, there. RUSTY PIPES IRKSOME CONNECTIONS WITH WATER MAINS IN PAVED STREETS IS PROBLEM Bareao Experiences Trouble In Later' al to Newly-Improved Prop erty by Long Disuse. BARGAIN MATINEE. School children and others, get your seats now for the morning matinee of Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm." Spe cial bargain morning matinee. Baker Players Saturday at 10 o'clock. Adv. ......................... YOUNG PRIMA DONNA LEAPS TO FAME AT EARLY AGE. f How to provide for connections be tween newly-improved property and water mains in paved streets is a prob- em which has bobbed up to bother the city water bureau. Trouble experi enced with the former system of ex tending laterals from the mains to the curb, there to be connected with when buildings were erected, has been found to be a source of much trouble. Heretofore, the plan has been to lay a lateral to the curb every 50 feet along a street, before the street is paved. This enabled property owners to connect up with the curb cock when water was needed for a new residence or building. It has been found in real estate sections and many other parts of the city where building has not been as rapid as anticipated, the curb J connections have rusted away and caused leaks. These leaks have caused damage to pavement and also have been the source of much other damage. The water standing in the laterals often became stagnant and in many instances affected the water in the main supplying consumers. It is proposed to discontinue the in stallation of the laterals and tear up the pavement from, the curb to the main when a connection is made. i - " i i -1 - i t ' , t , ' 4 i if- u , II Y i - it Maggie Teyte.
