REFORM SCHOOL YOUTHS,
The Supreme Court Says They
Cannot Be Called
FelonS.
The Constitutionality of the Act I'm.
der Which Such Schools
Exist Upheld.

The constitutIonalIty of the act under
which the Reform School exists was up
held by the Supreme Court yesterday. The
case in question was that of William
Nichols who, while before the Supreme
Court on habeas corpus, alleged that he
was illegally restrained of MS liberty in
being kept in the Reform School until he
attained the age of 81. He claimed the law
allowing such a sentence was unconstitu-
tional because it permitted a minor to be
sentenced TO such imprisonment for a
longer term than he could be sent to jail
He contended, too, that such imprison-
ment made felon OF the imprisoned, be-
cause boys may be sent to reform schools
from the State Prison. The Supreme
Court views this in the light of commu-
tation of sentenc e, however, and so re-
moves the charge of felony.
Continuing, the court says:
1t is true that terms of detention at the Re-
form School may be made greater than the
term of the imprisonment in the County Jail
or in the State Prison for the same offense
would be; but it cannot be said that the
punishment inflicted is greater than could be
put upon an adult for the same offense. The
object OF the act is not punishment. but refor-
nation, discipline and education. There is no
doubt OF the power OF the State 10 make and
enforce provisions for the compulsory educa-
ton of all children within the State; and it is
equally clear that the State may arrest the
downward tendency OF those who have offended
against its laws and manifested a tendency to
follow criminal career by placing them in
all institution where they will receive the care,
education and discipline necessary 10 prepare
them for honorable citizenship.

Green B. Morris Will Race No
More Horses at the Bay
- District Track.
OUTSIDERS CAUSED A SCARE.
Red Root and Cracksjack, Both 100 to
Shots, Lost Their Races
in a Drive.

Owner Green B. Morris is dissatisfied
with the manner in which racing is con-
ducted at the Bay District Track, and,
squaring up his accounts with the Califor-
MIA Jockey Club yesterday, announced his
intention of contining his racing oper-
ations in future to the new course at IngIe-
side OF the Pacific Coast Jockey Club.
On Saturday last his crack tilly, Sallie
Clicquot; was starter in the Elmwood
stake, and in a drive was beaten out by
the Baldwin entry, Ramiro. In the weigh
ing-in room under the judges stand,
Chorn, who rode the winner; was found to
be pound and a half short of weight on
tipping the scales. The clerk OF the scales
then escorted Chorn, with his tack" to
the jockey-room, and placed him on the
scales where he had made his weight.
There it was said the scales balanced at
1t5 pounds, and Ramiro took the rich
plum. Mr. Morris cannot understand
why it was that there was no discrepancy
in the weights. of any of the other boys
riding in the race. Again, on New Year, s
day, he says his mare, imp. Star Ruby,
who was a starter in the race won by Der
fargilla, was badly fouled by being pinched
up against the fence, having the skin
scraped off her side. yet the officials in the
stand took no cogniZance of it. Several
other minor kicks" were registered by the
veteran turfman, so he considers with
drawing irom'the track the wisest policy.
The racing yesterday was characterized
by some close finishes, in which 100 TO

died away, finishing pulled up.
Track and Paddock Items.


Starter Ferguson was not in the best of
form with his flag yesterday.
Ed Blazer stood to win about $4,000 if Red
Root got to the wire first.
Thornhill was away from the post very
badly, which fact did not tend to increase
his chance of winning.
Monterey was well backed by a number
of the wise ones to win the opening race,
but the chestnut showed very little speed
at any stage of the running.
The black horse Bueno that run George
Miller so close, was also, along with Sum-
mertime and others, 4 member OF Doc
Streets string, when the latter was ruled
off the turf in connection with the crooked
running of the latter horse at the St.
Asaph meeting last summer. Had Bueno
been away from the post on equal terms
with the winner, the result might have
been different.
1t is said that Sam Doggett was prom
lsed $500 by the owner of Emma D if he
got the roam mare to the wire in front.
Nineteen bookmakerS were doing busi-
ness in the ring yesterday. 1t was expected
Leo Mayer would cut in, but the Chicagoan
remained on the ground.
Ed Purser backed Bueno all three ways,
and quit good winner on the race.
| Barney Schneider never rooted any
harder for horse IN his life than he did
| to get Red Root home first Barney's
| lightweight Slaughter rode him, and the
| st. Louis penciler had $40 bet against $4,000.
Hugh Jones is very fond of laying
against the favorites, and when Hugh
| figured up his sheet at the conclusion of the
| Yankee Doodle race he found he had lost
| $1,000 While studying how to get even his
| brother Frank reminded him of dream
he had, In which Mary S figured as the
winner of a race in gallop. Looking
around the ring he saw 20 to / marked
! against the mare on Hughes & Co.'s board
and offered them a 500 bet, which was
taken, the ticket calling for $2l00. Mary
| won and Hugh not only cashed the ticket
| but won another thousand in his book.
| "Dick" Ledgett, the owner OF Red Root,
considers himself in very hard luck. An
intimate friend of his played in over $500
on the outside at odds varying from 100 to
| l down, standing to win fully $4,000 in
event of the long shots victory, half of
| which was to go to the horses owner. Ali
OF the money was placed straight, and the
| horses fine run aYailed OF nothing In
| pecuniary way TO owner Ledgett.
| The POmmery Sec handicap over mile
will be run tomorrow, and the City agents
of the champagne firm are out with very
novel proposition. To the person who
| makes the first and last bet on the winner
in every book according to the sheets,
they will present a quart bottle OF the
brand of wine after which the stake is
| named.

shots figured as important factors. Favor
ties were in front twice, with an outsider
and two second cboices capturing the
other events.
The ring came very near being badly
scorched on the mile and furlong selling
event. There were seven starters, with
bald-faced Thornhill 3 TO 5 favorite. He
was unfortunate in getting poor start,
and was never a dangerous factor IN the
race. When the flag fell Piggott, on the
20 to outsider, Mary S, hustled her out
in front, setting merry clip. At the half
she was a length clear of Dungarven, with
E. II. Shirley a close third.
As the stretch was reached she had in
creased her advantage to two lengths, with
Red Root 100 to L shot. who came from
behind, rounding the far turn in second
position. Slaughter, on Red Root, now
started after the leader in earnest, and at
one time his chance for first money looked
brilliant. The mare, however, stood the
