IS BEARING GOOD FRUIT
Judge Sullivan's Solution OF tht
Tough Boy Problem.
SENT TO REFORM SCHOOL
Three Candidates Recommended Yester-
day-Authorlties Are Awake to
the Gravity of the Sltua-
t!on-Polics Matters.

The initiative taken by Judge Sulli-
van of the police court, with reference
to a. solution of the problem as to what
is best to be done with the tough boys
of the city who are constantly COM
hitting acts of depreciation, gives prom
Use Of bearing fruit. Judge Sullivan
held conference with the county at
torney yesterday and it was decided to
send them to the reform school when
ever 1t appears that the ordinary means
of correction do not have the desired
effect
( In line with this decision three boys
were recommended for the reform
school yesterday They are Jerry and
james Sullivan and Johnnie Murphy.
The two former are the boys arrested
for stealing the effects Of the miners
= from the dry room of one Of the mines
few days ago and the third was arrested
at the request of mis- father, who said he
had lost all control OF the boy. The
county attorney at the conference with
Judge Sullivan yesterday agreed to give
the hearty cooperation of his office to
Fl the effort to enforce correction among
! lawless boys by sending them to the
2 reform school, and Judge Sullivan made
for the school.
Heretofore the trouble in dealing with
such boys has been that when turned
over to the county authorities by the
city, parents or friends, meaning well
enough, but blinded to the fact that
their boys are as bad as they are claim
ed to be, have gone before the county
attorney and the district court judges
and by promising to keep their boys
out of mischief have succeeded in get
ting them out of the laws hands. Now,
however, that the county attorney and
the district court judges have been
awakened to the gravity of the situa-
ton, there is a hope that the constant
annoyance that citizens are put to by
the actions of bad boys may be givFn
a check that will afford the long-pray-
editor relief.
The case Of Hugh Mcleod. one Of the
boys who assaulted a Chinaman in an
inhunan manner without any provoca-
ton, is to be tried in the police court
Friday, and if the facts warrant he
will also be recommended for the re-
form school The Vadnais boy, who es-
capped from the police, is still at large,
but will doubtless be caught and his
case will take the same course.
Young Shea and Dwyer. the boys ar
rested night before last for stealing a
horse and buggy, have been turned over
to the county authorities, with pros
pect that they. will likewise, be ordered
committed.
Mrs. w. J. Higher, who was arrested
some time ago in connection with a
row in the Newport block, in which she,
her husband and an alleged admirer
figured, and in which the husband was
badly disflgured. is in more trouble,
and was arrested yesterday on war
rant issued from the police court charg-
Ing her with disturbing the peace 1t
appears the woman rented set OF
rooms from a Mrs. Smith Of 400 South
Montana street She no sooner got
possession than a revel started and
Mrs. Higher got more than mildly in
toxicated Mrs. Smith objected to her
conduct and swore out a warrant for
her arrest. Officer Radmilovich went
to the house to arrest her and she pro-
tested against being taken on the
ground that her condition was due to
illness for which she was under a doc
tors care.
She refused to go to jail and when
the officer insisted she tore her clothes
off and generally made very rough
house of the place. Finally the officer
. gave the woman 10 minutes to get
dressed or he would take her to Jail en-
dishabille, and seeing the uselessness
of longer resisting she got into her
clothes again. Even then she would
not walk and had to be taken to jail
in a hack.
The police raided beer hall in
Lower Main street night before last and
arrested a crowd of lewd women found
