The Police Court VIII BE Kept Clear
This Winter.


1t is the intention of the Police Court
officials that the court rooms shall not be
made loafng places of during the coming
winter, as has been the custom of many
people during past winters. AS soon as
the weather gets cold enough to JUSTIFY
fires the hangers-on about the sidewalks
make a rush for the seats in the warm
rooms. Frequently these seats are taken
to the exclusion of others who have legiti-
mate business in the courts. Policeman
Flynn will guard the front door again,
and the officers in the court rooms Will be
on the lookout for those who endeaVor 10
spend six days week in the courts. 1t is
likely that some of the freQuenters of the
court will be called upon to answer charges
of vagrancy. Such things have happened
in the past and it is more than likely that
they will be repeated. Policeman Flynn
did good work in this direction last year,
but during the summer his duties have
been changed from time to time in order
that all the officers about the court might
get a vacation. Now he is back at the old
stand, and he gives notice from the front
steps every morning that the trees and
lamp posts need no supports. Any man
who enjoys sitting in court every morning
and listening to the tales of woe told by
policemen, fathers, mothers and children
Policeman Flynn thinks should be called
upon to explain why he is not at some
other place. Judge Scott recently took a
novel way of clearing the court of those in
the audience who had no business there.
AS one OF the officers remarked, he played
school on the crowd. The judge suspend
ed the hearing of a case and announced
that all persons in the audience who had
no business in court should stand. More
than half those who occupied the seats
responded You are excused, the judge
told them, and they We're soon out of the
building.

SCHOOL CHILDREN'S MORALS.
One Mother Thinks More Attention
Should Be Given the Subject.

To the Editor of The Evening Star
The other day in a meeting Of teachers
of one of the higher grades of our public
schools Prof. Powell hinted at matter
that he said should receive attention in the
future, 1t being the matter of giving more
attention to the supervision of the morals
of our boys and girls during school hours
and on the play ground. This is a matter
that received marked attention during the
recent meeting of the National Teachers
Association in this city. 1t is high time,
indeed, that the school authorities of
Washington take action in this direction.
Few people are aware of the dangerous
conditions which exist in all public schools
unless they have had their attention called
to the matter.
Masses of children, If left to themselves,
no matter what their social grade may
be, quickly fall into impure habits OF
thought, word and action. One indecent
boy contaminate a whole room and
one impure girl can spread untold impurity
among other girls. When We see the great
number of children that receive almost no
moral training at home We need no. be sur
prised at existing conditions.
1t is known that in the eighth grade of
one school in this city a girl nou yet four
teen secretly brought into the school room
a vile, loathsome book, filled with ;;bscenity
SO shocking that it would bring d blush to
even a depraved cGeek. She passed lf,itt

secretly read and gloated over it. Could
anything be more destructive to girlish
purity? Could anything be more criminal
than to shut our eyes to the inevitable
fruits Of such seed sowing? Indeed, the
results were of speedy growth in the heart
of more than one girl who real that book
results that make the heart sick to con-
template.
Congress appropriates money every year
to support institutions organized for the
rescue of fallen girls and women. Many
a girl becomes fit subject for such insti-
tutions because of immortality learned I: cIn

afternoon. Will be long remembered in Ma
sonic circles for its large proportions and
notable incidents. Owing to .he damp con-
dition of the White Lot elIipse, where the
review and drill were to have been held, the
drill was eliminated and the review took
place In front of the Arlington Hotel, on
Vermont avenue. Slight confusion occur
red among the Communicates in parading
to the review grounds, owing to misun-
derstanding over the sudden change of To-
cation, but this did not detract from the
event in any particular. There were large
crowds along the line of march, and the
picturesque appearance of the handsomely
uniformed knights was keenly appreciated
and generously approved. There were

ciously and genally returned the salutes of

at their splendid showing was unmistaka-
bic. Private Secretary John Addison Por-

ATTORNEYS ARE STUDYING
THE WAR REVENUE BILL
Eastern lines Would Like to- Compel
the Shippers to Pay the Tax, but
II Is Considered Question
Whether or Not the Roads Can
Shift the Burden - Around the
Local Offices.

General Consul Bum, Of the Nortn-
ern Pacific, has received a copy of the
war revenue bill passed by congress,
which provides for the placing of
stamps on bills of lading, shipping re-
ceipts and checks and is devoting a
part Of his time to a thorough investi-
cation of it.
The attorneys Of the Eastern lines
met Wednesday and yesterday in Chi
cago and discussed the tax, and the
executive officers of the various roads
are also in Chicago and will follow the
dictates of their attorneys. 1t is said
that all are agreed that the burden
should not be carried by the roads, if it
is possible to escape 1t.
On the other hand, the shippers are
said to be determined not to pay the
tax. as 1t was intended by congress
that 1t should fall on the railroads, and
that, under the circumstances, they
Should bear 1t. The Illinois Manufac-
turers' union has notified Chairman
Parker of the Western Trunk Lines
committee that shippers will stand a
law suit before they will pay the tax
that congress has imposed on the rail-
roads.
General~Counsel Bum said yesterday
that he was not prepared to render an
opinion on the merits Of the tax, but
that he was inclined to think that the
Eastern attorneys would fail to find
means to evade the payment of the tax

UNUSUAL CASE.
Guardians Deed Set Aside After
Eiany Years.

\ decision of Judge Harrison. Just
filed, brings to light a rather unusual
case in family affection. The decision
is in the case of the Henry Brown es-
tate. and sets aside a guardians deed
after many years. There were two
boys, heirs, Fred and Henry, and they
were left, among other things, a lot in
North Minneapolis. Some years after
the widow married Henry Fischer, and
later she came to the probate court and
asked to be appointed guardian of the
boys. Then she petitiored the court
to be allowed to sell the lard for the
benefit of the boys, that they might be
educated.
The court appointed Claus Mumm and
Otto Schwartz as appraisers, and order
ed that the guardian should have no
hand in the purchase of the land The
appraisers never reported, but later
William Snyder and Charles Kuth
made a report, and 1T was filed as all
2ppraisement valuing the share Of the
minors at $699. The sale was made and
Henry Fischer was the purchaser. He
immediately mCrtga ged the lard to the
Minnesota Loan & Trust company for
81 COO. He has held the land ever since
and put some improvements upon it.
The court finds that 1t was a scheme
to defraud the boys, and sets aside the
deed, ordering Henry Fischer to give up
the land and Improvements, but makes
the loan a lien upon the premises. 1t
was found that the boys share was
worth S3,607 at the time the pretended
sale was made to the stepfather. A
stay of twenty days has been taken
for an appeal.

Roads Fail to Restore Tariff as
They Had Agreed.
The selling of teachers tickets, at a
rate of one fare for the round trip to
all Eastern points, has caused some
tangle among the local lines. The
rates were put in a week ago today,
and at that time it was agreed to drop
them on Sunday, with the exception
of two or three parties that had been
promised that they would be cared for
on Monday
On Monday night it was supposed
that the sale was over, but yesterday
it developed that one or two of the
lines had continued the sale, and, when
this became positively known, the
Great Western alt once notified COM
peting lines that it would resume the
sale of tickets at the reduced rate and
would continue to sell until further
notice.
The 500 was but a few minutes be-
hind the Great Western with it's ulti-
matum. with the result that all the
lines followed suit, and at noon all
lines were selling to Eastern points
at the reduced rate. 1t is probable
that meeting Of the local passenger
men will be called within a day or two
and an effort made to reach an agree
ment in regard to the low rates.
