THIRD OF THEM ARE TRAMPS.
Children Gather at Detention Home
From Many States.
The docket of the detention home last evening resembled a hotel register. Out of thirteen children arrested Wednesday and Thursday, four boys and two girls live outside of Kansas City. There is one from Sugar Creek, two from Independence, one from Lexington, Mo., one from St. Louis and one from Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania lad is Charles Fletcher, 13 years old.
"Nearly a third of the children who get into court are young tramps," says Chief Probation Officer Mathias.
