CHILDREN IN COURT,
Judge ScOtt's Comment Upon Hearing
Case Today.

Il hope there will be no more bringing of
little children into the Police Court SO long
as l sit here" said Judge Scott today. Il
think it is all wrong to do so when cases
such as the one before me could be just as
well. and perhaps better. settled at home 4"
What gave occasion for the remark was
the arraignment before the court of Harry
Burke, a mere tot of a. boy, on the charge
of assaulting Avis Eolson, a girl of about
the same age The latter testified that
Harry pushed her down with such vio-
lence as to knock out one of her teeth and
to bruise one of her arms. The boy said
ttat Avis slapped him in the face and ran,
and that when he. ram after her she fell
and received the injuries as above stated.
After making the observation quoted,
Judge Scott dismissed thu case.

ANACOSTIAH HAPPENINGS
Citizens Disappointed Over an Omission in
Major sylvester's Report.
Delegation Presents Request for Iru-
proNement of Harrison Street
Justice Weiss Renders Decision.

Great disappointment is expressed by the
residents of Anaco sta over the fact that
in the estimates submitted by the superin-
teEdent of police for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1850, no sum is asked for the
purchase of 4 lot and the erection thereon
OF d suitable police station for Anacostia.
There seems to have been a general idea
that such an estimate was to be included
