Less Major Crime
During these two years, the decrease in all sot
called major crime is computed by the Police
at 61%. The current year, ending April 20,
will record a still further substantial record of
crime reduction. PUNISHMENT HAS

M. Cotter, pre-
sent presiding judge, is noted
both for his ability as a jurist
and for his pleasant personality.
In his prior experience as a
justice of police court he is best
remembered for his service in
the early sessions court where
use was first made of the
psychopathic clinic, for his
wise policies in handling first
offenders,and for the probation
department he established
which specialized in the cases
of servicemen. More than 800
such cases were sent by him to
the probation department he
inaugurated for this especial
purpose, and less than 3 per
cent of these men went wrong.

For the first time in many years, enforcement
of criminal law now COSTS YOU NOTH-
ING. The criminals themselves pay the whole
bill. Prompt trials, virtually cutting jail delays
in half, also save you money.
Human Salvage
In its second fiscal year, the Probation Depart.
ment, developed by the court, turned more
than 5,000 minor offenders from crime to
-straight living, by using supervision instead of
punishment. These men then earned more
than $1,000,000 by honest work.

MARSH
Judge Pliny W. Marsh secured
his early legal experience as an
associate of Henry C. Walters,
one of the leaders of the Detroit
bar. lie became a specialist in
civic problems and led in the
efforts to secure Detroit's new
city charter and unified crimi-
nal court. As judge, he organ-
ized the present traffic court,
and established the domestic
relations bureau of the proba-
tion department. He has
presided in the trial of more
than 600 serious felony cases
of which but ten have been
appealed to the Supreme Court,
lawyers accepting his rulings
as final and well founded.
In the lower precincts, as the primaries plainly showed, friends of Judges Keidan, Heston, Cotter
and Marsh arc relatively few. CRIMINALS FEAR A SQUARE DEAL and vote against men
from whom they know they will get it.
)n
To re-elect these four men—to ensure a continuance of the safeguards they have thrown about you,
your family and your property—is an undertaking which demands your efforts and YOUR VOTE.

sented at the American-European
Conference of Jewish Women, which
is to meet in thenna on May 6 to 13.
This conference which has been called
by the , Connell of Jewish Women will
devote itself principally to devise
means toward alleviating the condi-
tion of immigrant women and chil-
dren on their way from one country to
another. The question of providing
better hotels for the women and chil-

tained for an indefinite period in Eu-

Arrangements for the conference
are being made by Miss Estelle M.

struction, and Mrs. Nat anie -
