JUNIOR REPUBLIC.
Mass Meeting to Re Held at the CO.
lumbia Theater.

The National Junior Republic, an insti-
tuition for the reclamation of boys from
the cities of Baltimore and Washington
who might, without such place, drift
into vicious and criminal careers, has made
a number of steps on the road to final and
ultimate success. 1t will be remembered
that the two cities last year raised a foun-
dation fund and that a farm was given to
the new institution by Mr.. Charles New
bold of this city, situated near Annapolis
Junction, about half way between Balti-
more and Washington. Since that time the
farm has been occupied and the buildings
on 1t improved and made convenient for
the uses of the new citizens. Several new
buildings have been added to the farm
but even these are not sufficient for the
needs Of the republic. Every available
space has been turned into sleeping quar-
tiers for the boys, even the Jail has been
brought into requisition, there being five
cots in the attic. one in one of the cells and
one in the corridor An adjoining dwelling
has been rented for the purpose of dermi-
tory building, but this will not be used
until the present occupants are able to
move out carpenter shop has been built
and will be ready for use in the next few
days, and the boys are enthusiastic over
the prospect of having an up-to-date work
shop. There are today about twenty boys
at the republic, and the authorities will
not receive any more account of want
of ROOM n.
One visiting this republic is struck with
the perfect harmony existing there, the boys
having the bearing of older people, each
respecting the rights and feelings of his
fellow citizen. This rapid Improvement has
been accomplished by allowing the boys to
make and carry out laws set down by
themselves and for any infringement Of
these laws the offender is brought before
court composed of his fellow citizens,
fined by judge he himself has helped to
eject. and II he has not the money to pay
the hne, Is compelled to serve a term in
the Jail. This system has worked go ad-
mirably that the tone of the boys has I'M
dergone marked Improvement, they hav-
ing too much self-respect to undergo SEN
tence In the work gang a second time
fhose interested in the republic in this
city VIII be given an opportunity to learn
all about it at a big meeting that has been
arranged at the Columbia Theater, Sunday
night, March II.
Senator Chauncey Depew will speak at
the meeting, and besides other prominent
orators there will be several of the young
citizens from this republic who will tell some
thing of the way things are conducted in
thelr immature government. 1t is hoped
that President Mckinley will be able to
attend the meeting

GRAND JURY AT WORK
Several Indictments in Connection
With Brooklyn Rapid Transit.
HARRY ]. ALEXANDER ARRESTED
Several Other Arrests to Follow
Text Of Presentment.
NEW DANGER TO FINANCIERS

NEW YORK, March 8.-The special
grand jury convoked to inquire into Brook
Ign Rapid Transit matters, reported to JUS
tice Fursman in the criminal term Of the
supreme court today. The presentment
was made. including a batch Of indictments
which were filed. Harry ]. Alexander, one
of the men indicted by the special grand
jury, has been arrested. Alexander is a
newspaper advertising agent. Three indict-
ments were found against him, one for cir
culating false rumors, which is a felony,
and two for conspiracy. He pleaded not
guilty in court today, and was held for
trial in 81 900 ball He was committed pend
ing the finding of bondsmen.
Justice Fursman will not permit the other
names to be made public until all arrests
have been made, stating that the men will
be arraigned in court some time during the
day.
Statements In the Presentment.
The presentment recounts the means by
which the market price of Brooklyn Rapid
Transit stock was depressed last summer,
specifying paid advertisements in news
papers mere and in Boston and in circulars
sent through the mails, predicting heavy
declines because of the alleged bad physi-
cal and financial condition of the company.
1neSe statements, II Is luTlHeF Sdiu III tHe
presentment, were also disseminated orally
and by telegraph and telephone, the result
being a heavy decline in which innocent
holders Of the stock were unable to protect
themselves and saw their property de-
preciated day by day. The presentment
continues:
I'm our opinion. these deliberate and long
continued attacks emanated from several
sources. but from their very nature, namely
from anonymous circulars and word-of-
mouth rumors, it has been impossible for
this grand jury in every case to trace these
rumors to their authors.
1t is further added by the presentment
1.-The statements referred to are not put
forth as mere expressions Of opinion, but
purport to be based upon accurate inside
Information, and in numerous instances on
downright statements of fact, which are
false and known to be false by the pub
fishers and disSeminators thereof.
New Danger to Financial World.
I'VE have no legal evidence of guilty par
ticfpation by individuals other than as
shown by the indictments we have found,
but we believe it our duty to call to the at
tention Of the court and the community
this new and peculiar danger to the finan-
cial world. and to emphasize the fact that
the circulation of false statements, rumors
and intelligence to affect the value of
stocks and securities is equally criminal,
whether the object be to enhance or depress
the prices Of the securities affected
"A realization that detection and punish
ment will surely follow will be the best
means Of suppressing these insidious
crimes. which threaten not only the inter-
est of specific individuals, but also the gen.
eral welfare of the community
