By order of court all such cases in which capiases and warrants shall be issued in the First District shall be transferred to this branch for trial and disposition. Practically all of the cases disposed of in the Court of Domestic Relations are instituted there and not in some other branch of the court. The procedure generally is about as follows: the complaining witness is interviewed and a complaint card made out. If the interview shows the case to be one that should be referred to some organization or other court, the reference is made; if a conference or consultation is indicated, that is held; if a warrant is indicated, then a history sheet is made out based largely upon the interview with the complaining witness, the form of the history

sheet depending upon the form of the complaint; this history sheet then goes to the clerk of the court who prepares the information or complaint; upon this a warrant issues. Every step is watched and followed up in this court. If upon trial the defendant is placed upon probation and ordered to make payments for the support of those dependent upon him, this order is followed up. If the defendant fails to pay or comply with other orders of the court, the necessary steps are taken to compel such compliance.

MORALS COURT.

The above shall include all criminal informations, complaints to hold to await the action of a grand jury and complaints for violation of ordinances.

BOYS' COURT.

There has been established a branch of the municipal court of Chicago for the trial of all boys between the ages of 17 and 21 who have

been charged with any crime or the violation of any city ordinance. The warrants are not issued in this court. They are issued at other branches and the returns are made to the boys' court. The clerk of the court in each case makes out what is commonly called an identification card. These cards are filed alphabetically. This method enables the judge to know whether or not a certain boy has been in that court before and on what charge.
