not nearly as great as those committed

should treat the boys with leniency and
judgment, and for that reason have es-
tablished what might be termed a juve-

until the regular grind is disposed OF, and
then clear the ioourtroork Of morbid CURL

the burglaries in this city in the past two
months have been committed by minors.
"In every part of the city there are
gangs Of boys, many of whom belong to
good families, associated for lawless pur-
poses. Malicious mischief petty pilfer-
ing, house breaking and even arson are
chargeable to these gangs. In many In
stances there have been prosecutions and
convictions, but these represent only "a
small portion of the actual amount OF
crime committed.
'Laxity Of parental watchfulness and
discipline must be chiefly responsible.
Other reasons are to be found in news
paper accounts of crime which are Gen
orally made las sensational as possible
and inflane the imaginations of boys at
an age where distinctions between right
and wrong are not clear in their minds,
and when the life of an outlaw lis likely
ito appear the ideal of cleNerness and
daring. It has been especially }unfor-
tunate, it seems to me, that in this city
certain known criminals have for a long
time past held a position in popular no
tiee which has exaggerated their intellec-
tual cleyerness and &obscured their moral
depraYity. Familiarity with vice and
crime Is sure to breed first indifference
and then emulation among young boys;
and this community has been HuFfeited
with both for many months.

IN THE GRIP OF HOP
Opiumsmoking Growing in Popular
ity Among the Vicious Glasses,
the Drug Clerk Says.
A Recent Municipal Court Decision
May Tend to Make The Evil !
More General.

The frequency with which the municipal
court has lately been called upon to 'aook
into" alleged opium Joints, leads to the
conclusion that the vice Is becoming more
popular in Minneapolis. This is a fact
vouched for, not only by the police, but
by the proprietors Of all-nig1lt drug stores
and others who are about town In the
small hours.
The ruling OF Judge Holt yesterday that
Uniting the pipe does not come under
the Designate Of disorderly conduct will
possibly give the pipe deIlds new courage.
It may tend greatly 70 Increase the IN
diligence In the drug, which has already
reached much laTger proportions than the
public is aware Of
Night drug clerks say that "John China
man" is the principal factor IN propa-
eating this evil It Is the tChlnanaan
who first introduced his white friends to
the mysteries Of Ism okfng" with a pill
in the pipe, and the colored brother takes
as kindly to the dream dose as the
white and yellow victims Of the black
smoke.
A clerk for one Of the prominent down
town drug stores said to-day that at least
one-ffrst GLASS opium Joint with a well-es-
tabished patronage, was now hourishSng
in Minneapolis, In addition to several
small resorts. The main establishment Is
fitted up with all the paraphernalia Of a
select "Chinatown' resort and Is well cal
culated to enable the devotee Of the drug
that cheers and yet stupefies to go the
limit and have long sleep with Its usual
conconmitant Of pleasant dreams The
location Of this joint Is a jealously guard
ed secret. 1t is a sort Of a club, and those
who are entitled to enter are admitted
only by card.
While the drug stores sell considerable
opium on doctors prescriptions" it Is
the Chinese who furnish most of the
dope" They use a special brand,
struggled into Frisco, and distributed
from that point throughout the country
Opium victims get most Of their pipe
fuel from the little laundry around the
corner or other Chinese places of bust
ness.
'"They buy what is called a card of
opium" explained a drug clerk. 1.-THE
Chinaman uses ordinary playing cards for
wrappers. The equivalent of six pills is
folded up in one Of these cards and is re-
tailed at rs cents. Judging from the
number Of packs of cards which a certain
Chinaman purchases here, I should say
that he does a land office business Hit
ting the chop must be a, popular pastirne
If 1T takes so many cards to supply the
trade"
The clerk added that the use Of hop
had large following among the colored
people, and that an opium 'Iay-out' was
