-, Is Juvenile crime In Portland on the
Increase? , "
This is a query which might well t
put by residents of this city, after pe
ruslng the-annual report of Chief of Fo
lice Hunt, which shows that during 1863
more minors were arrested and detained
by the police than during any previous
year in the blatory of the city and more
than tA-lce as many as In the preceding
two years.
In the police court almost daily one Or
.more minors are arraigned charged with
offenses ranging from vagrancy and be
ing out after hours to larceny and aa
saulL . "1.
Why do so many young people go
wrong, and Is the. Juvenile population
of Portland - more depraved than the
children of other cities? 1 si-
Does a wide open town -tend to lead
minors Into trouble?
These Questions were nut to Chief of
Police Hunt and Superintendent Gardner
or . tin Boys', and Girls' Aid' society.
Both these officials, who have much to
do- with young criminals, state In their.
upiiiipu mai rurutna s young popula
tion is not worse than that of other clt-'
les. the same sise: -The v do not believe
that crime Is on the Increase here ex
cept that natural Increase which is ex
pected In a growing population. Both
say that last yeaifs figures simply mean
that the police have been more active In
roundlna uo younaatera. . , :
'tThe large number of minora arreated
last year was due to the vigilance of the
police," said Chief Hunt. "One of my
nrst orders upon going into office was
to look after minors, to take' them from
questionable resorts and to keen tbem
off the atreetl late at night These or
ders hive been repeated often and are
tanaing rules ; or the department. Of
course thex number of arrests has In
creased much more' rapidly than the pop
ulation but I do not think It means more
Juvenile crime, but as I have staged,
Is due to the activity of the police.
-me great , trouble is that many par
ents do not properly look after their
children. ; Youngsters," especially j those
under 12 years, shtruld be very strictly
watcnea. uuring the past xear we have
taken particular pains to watch for girls
in low resorts and for. those who 'are out
late. The Ourfew law is now being en
forced and Its effects are noticeable al
ready. 1 .-.. j' ;?'' :'
Soesnt BUme Open Tows.
1 do not believe a Vide open town
lias anything to do with 'Juvenile crime.
wnetv I took office r talked with many
saloon men about the matter of minors
In their places. I find that almost all Of
these proprietors have prevented young
sters from freouent ins- their places and
are anxious to keep them out, In Justice
to them I must say that In many cases
they have called the attention of the po
lice to children who refused, to keep
away from questionable places. The of
ficers have bsen greatly aided by saloon
men.- - - , , t
superintendent . Gardner was equally
eulogistic of the police department in Its
reunions to children. He does not be
lieve that crime among. Juveniles Is In
creasing in Portland -out of proportion to
the population. , '.:,'
': A Ifattural Znorease., ''
Tes. more children are being appre
hended than formerly," said Superintend-.
ent Gardner of the Boys' and Girls' Aid
society. "But the figures In Chief Hunt's
report include many youngsters who
were taken to the. station, reprimanded
and turned over to their parents. Many
boys have been picked up In billiard
and pool rooms where they ought not to
te. ' Where do these boys learn to olav
these games? . I understand that in some
of the resorts for boys there are billiard
ana . pool tables. Naturally they soon
want more excitement and learn to play
ior money, ur course some of them get
tnetr nrst ' lessons in saloons. Alto
gether crime Is not Increasing faster
than the population.. The police have
been very vigilant during the bast sear.
They have been much, more strict than
formerly and I believe, there Is still room
tor-lmprovement-alongthese lines.
" Tareatai Vegiect.
, Frank Rlgler. oity school superintend
ent, has a different plan to suggest for
the remedy of theevll. He believes In
lhe establishment of a school for in-
corrlgibles which shall operate as a mid
die proposition between the public school
and the reform school. -
"There is no more crime amona- the
youth of Portland than there was a year
or so ago,, -said Mr, Kigier.: "The police
have simply' turned up' a few more
cases, that is aiL In my opinion the
cause of this condition of affairs Is pa-
tton compulsory should be. enforced.
Send the children to school and they will
keep out of mischief. , . -
! "Those children that will not go to
scnooi. under any condition should be
sent to a home school for Incorrigibles
ana aept mere. - n should be operated
as' a middle affair between the public
school and the reform school. Crime In.
the young is mainly due to lrresponciblo
parentage, ind in such icases the state
la obliged to assume, the functions, of
a, parent Now and then the children
of good parents go wrong; this Js merely
the exception proving the rule." .
Chief Jfunra rignrea., '
Under the caption "Minors Chief
Hunt makes the t allowing statement In
his annual report:. , t
. "The energetic, action on the .part -of J
rne ponce in looking after minors, both
male and female, found ln Improper
places, has met with most satisfactory
results. Boys and' girls under age are
net at this time found in poolroom,
saloons or resorts unsuitable for, minor's
to visit. In this" particular dutyDetee
tive H..IL Hawley, connected with the
Boys' and Girls' Aid society, has been
most diligent and has accomplished
much In this line. The- following tabUr
lar statement will show the comparative
number of minors that have been taken
care of by thladepartment and shows
the Increase over the two preceding
.years: : , ,
"Number of minors .taken care of In
the year 1901, amounted to 376.
' "Numbes of minors taken care of In
the year 1M 2. amounted to 329.
w "Number of minors taken care of In
the year 1902 amounted to 1,045.".
This Statement by Chief Hunt that
the number of minors "taken care of"
by the police In the past year amounted
to 1045, three times the number in
either of the two preceding years, must
be startling to every one who is Inter
ested in the welfare of the youth of the
city. The. number, of boys ' and girls
taken from poolrooms, saloons-and other
haunts of vice averaged, In 103, three
every day. How these figures are to
be reconciled with; the chief's assertion
.that "boys and girls under age are not
at this time round" in these resorts,
perhaps the mayor or the chief can ex
plain..' 1 V"U
i. , When, the average cltlsen learns that
one thousand' boys and girls were taken
erom questionable resorts within-a sin
