Young Offenders,

Harry Gallatin and James Haslam, two
boys aged seventeen and fifteen, respective
ly, were tried today before Judge Scott on
the charge of the larceny of a pocket
book containing $11.25 from Mrs. Annie
Balderson of No. 800 H street northwest
Saturday last. Gallatin pleaded guilty. The
money was taken from a bureau drawer
in Mrs. Balderson's bed room and all ex-
cept about $50, which they had spent for
two hats, was recovered by Detective Proc
tor where the boys had hidden it, Mr.
Gallatin, father of the older boy, said one
boy was probably as guilty as the other
and no more, and he asked the court to be
as easy as he could, especially as Mrs. Bal
derson did not want them prosecuted to the
extent of the law.
Mrs. Haslam claimed that her boy had
been decoyed into going with the Gallatin
boy, and the father of the latter took the
stand and said the Haslam boy had been
the means of leading the other boy astray.
Mr.. James M. Kicks, who represented
Haslam, asked Judge Scott to give the
boys a lecture and let them go. The court
said he could not do that and imposed a
fine of 81 each, stating that he made the
penalty light in order to give them an op-
portunity to do better In the future.

bal rapers in the duel for supremacy. Each
debate was presided over and judged by
able men, and at each two men who were
regarded as winning the laurels were
chosen to meet in a final contest at the
close of the year.
In this way twelve students were select
ed, and from this list six were chosen to
meet in the final tourney. This was held
Saturday night in the presence of a very
large and enthusiastic gathering Of the
friends of the participants.
The question upon which the young men
gave their views and presented their argu-
mants was Resolved, That the govern
ment of Great Britain, in its practical oper-
ations. is more democratic than the gov
eminent of the United States"
The affirmative position was taken by Ed
win L. Davis of Tennessee Adam McMulien
of Nebraska and Albert r. Stuart of South
Carolina The negative side was present ed
by Edgar b. Merritt of Arkansas. Jabe c.
Reader of Texas and Charles J. Kellogg OF
Louisiana.
The judges were Justice Henry B. Brown
of the United States Supreme Court, Lyman
G. Gage, Secretary of the Treasury, and
John w. Foster, eX-Secretary of STATE. In
addition to giving a decision upon the mer-
its of the argument the judges were asked
to select the two individuals who displayed
the most excellence and who will later re-
ceive substantial recognition in the way OF
prizes.
The affirma tive side was opened by Mr.
Edwin L. Davis, who declared that the ulti-
mate power in England rested in the nous.
of commons, and owing to it's unity and
elasticity, the English people knew where
to place the responsibility and had power to
see that their will carried out.
Mr.. Edgar B. Merritt, who opened for the
negative, contendet. that the queen the
sovereign of England, and that no country
could be a democracy with a hereditary rul-
ing family, or with an established church.
