Denver Police Discover Where There
In Want And Wretchedness, There
Likewise Is Crime.
DENVER, Juno 23 ? On tho walls
of tho Denver Juvenllo court hung*
a great map of tho city of Denver. It
la thickly spotted with black noaded
pins. Each pin ropresents a bad boy
? ono who has been placed on pro
bation by tho juvonllo court. T'.o
pin representing the bnd boy Is
placed In the npproxlmato vicinity of
the boy's homo.
In that part of tho map which rep.
resents tho poorer and moro thickly
settled districts, the dots are donre
ly packed togothor. A crowd of
them, llko a dusky sort of Milky
Way, follows tho Plntte river In an
Immense sweep through the city.
Out on Capitol Hill, whero tho flix
er homos are located, there are only
a few black headed pins stuck Into!
tho map. Rich boys aro not any
bettor than tho poor boys, according
to Mrs. Ida Gregory, clerk of the
Juvonllo court and known among the
newspaper folks as 'assistant juvo
nllo Judge". Tho sons of tho well
to-do, and wealthy, sho says, do u jt
got Into trouble becauso of their
homo surroundings, while many of
the children of the poverty stricken
aro eternally boforo the authorities
becauso thoy do not have tho right
chances ? their parents, who sho Id
teach thom to rospoct law and ord r
aro too busy oarnlhg their pitiful
salaries to glvo them proper #tt- u
tion.
In many places on tho map the
pins aro packed by twos or threes
and sometimes In groups of tens and
twenties. Such groups represent
"do gang", composed of "bad boys"
who have never had a chance- -a
real chanco, according to "Mrs. Greg
ory, to be better. The Juvenllo
court officials aro bending tho main
efforts toward "reclaiming" thes
groups. Evory time a boy has pojs
ed tho probationary term, a black
plu Is rcmovod from the map.
In tho office of tho state board of
charities and corrections is another
m^p. It, too, Is thickly spotted with
black headed plus. Each pin in this
map represents a family that has re
cently received aid from a charita
ble organization during the past
year. The same districts of the city
which aro dotted with tho majority
of plus In tho Juvenllo court map.
llkowlso have tho majority of the
pins on tho charity board's map.
In scores of cases the dots coincide.
The officials have taken tho mor
al from these two maps, and declare
that where there Is neod, and want,
and poverty, and llttlo of tho good
things of llfo, will also bo found
the majority of tho "bad boys".
They declare that the two maps
point clearly the things to be done
to stop the growth of Juvenllo crime.
