noon between Commissioner Mcfarland,
Judges Kimball and Scott of the Police
Court and Assistant L. S. District Attor-
ney Mullowny, at the District building, In
regard to the trial of juvenile offenders In
the Police Court, it was decided that Ju-
venile cases should hereafter be tried at z

by that time one or the other of the judges
will have finished the regular court busi-
ness and can then sit in the juvenile court
If at any time a jury should be demanded
the jury on hand in the other branch or
the Police Court could be utilized.
1t was also decided that separate doc
ket should be kept for all juvenile Offend
ers 1t is believed that this scheme will
give the next best results to having
special children'S court.

Court today and it was decided to hold

journs for the day will occupy the bench.
Mr.. John W. Douglass Of the board of
children's guardians, who was appointed

present at the conference held this morn
lowny. Under the plans arranged for hold
ing the court for the trial of Juveniles the
youthful offenders will not come in con-
tact with the older and hardened violators
of the law. Each morning the police will
report to the probation officer the name,
age and address of each person to be tried,
and between and 2 o'clock that officer
will make as complete an investigation of
each case as time will permit and the

ed TO the court.
AS probation officer Mr.. Douglass is an
official of the court, and the judges will
listen to his suggestions in cases in order
to deal with the juveniles in a manner
which will do the most good. In his inves-
ugatons the probation officer will ascer-
tain what he can of the child's past career
as well of its home surroundings The
Judges have been keeping the children
apart from the Older defendants for sew
eral months. Beginning with next Mon
day. however, the separation of the al
legged offenders will be complete.

The Personal Tax Law.

~ the Iuitor VI ine Evening Star.
1t is a pity that there should be misap-
prehension among our people about the
necessity for a personal tax law in the
District of Columbia. The least reflection
ought to be sufficient to satisfy any of us
here that such law cannot be otherwise
than injurious to Washington. 1t will drive
away many who came here mainly to
escape from exorbtant and inquistorial
taxation elsewhere, who spend their money
freely among us, and 1t will keep away
many who contemplate buying or building
residences on our magnificent avenues.
That such a law will depreciate values
throughout the entire District cannot be
reasonably doubted. Why, then, should
our people, our business associations par
ticularly, be so blind to their own interests
as to give aid and countenance to such a
proposition?
Broadly speaking, all Congress ought to
require us to do is to raise much money
as 1t is willing to duplicate for the support
of the District government. How we raise
our part is, or should be, as immaterial to
Congress as how 1t raises its part is imma-
terial to us. Obviously, 1t matters not to
us from what source Congress derives the
revenue to pay Its share of the cost of our
local government. Why then, should Con-
gress insist upon our raising the whole or
any part of our share by taxing bicycles
pianos. jewelry, merchandise, locomotives,
or by placing new burdens on banks build
ing associations, trust companies or other
corporations? If ten millions are needed
for this years budget. for instance, it
ought to satisfy 'the powers that be" that
we have fully done our duty when the
Commissioners pay over our half of that
sum.
In other places a personal tax may be a
necessity; but experience has not shown
1T to be a necessity here. Our situation is
pecul1ar-in fact, 1t is unique, and differs
from that Of other cities Of like size and
Importance, particularly In regard to the
means Of raising municipal revenues
Conservative people ought not to lose
sight of this, and should array themselves
solidly in favor of letting well enough
alone. We are growing and prospering as
never before; why try experiments which
1t is reasonable to believe will retard our
development? q

DISTRICT DECLINES.
Unable to Make Further Repairs to
Mrs. HardfnE's Stable.

Mrs. S. E. Harding of 1O13 I'd street north
sioners complaining of the unsatisfactory
manner in which the District made repairs
to the foundation of her stable. The COM
plant is the subject of report from Capt.
Newcomer, assistant to the Engineer Com
missioner, in which he says:
1T appears that when the alley In the
rear Of the writer's property was improved
in 1899 the grade was lowered alongside her
stable, thus exposing the foundations of
the brick wall and rendering it necessary
to underpin the walls to make them Sc
cure. Contrary to the regular practice of
this Office at the present time, the District
undertook to protect the writer ip this case
by doing the underpinning. The writer has
claimed since then on several occasions that
the underpinning was not properly done,
and has asked the District to make the
necessary repairs An examination made
during the past summer failed to discover
any indications of weakness in the work
done by the District in underpinning the
foundations, although it is admitted that
the underpinning was not carried as far
below the surface of the ground as the
building regulations require. 1 have had
several interviews with the writer and told
her that l could not recommend favorable
action on her request since it would be
doing work for her of character which
Is continually being refused to other parties
who desire to be protected against damage
due to change of grade. 1t is recommended
that the writer be informed that the Dis
trict declines to make any further repairs
to her stable"
The recommendation has been approved
by Col Biddle, the Engineer Commissioner

FUGITIVE APPREHENDED.
Man Who Forfeited $1,000 Bond Ar
rested in Chicago.

A telegram received last night at police
headquarters gave information of the ar
rest in Chicago of Albert Thompson the
alleged ''pennyweight' man, who has a
number of aliases and who is charged here
with the theft of a diamond brooch from
the jewery store of Gait & Bro. week
before Christmas. Detective Michael Null
Ter left for Chicago last night to bring
back the prisoner, as we'll as to pay the
500 reward offered for his arrest. The
capture was made in Chicago shortly after
the receipt of circular received there Civ
ing a full description and a photograph of
the man. 1t is believed the circulars reach
ed there ahead of the fugitive
AT the time the arrest was made here by
Policeman Boyce the prisoner was released
on $500 security, Mr.. Eugene Kennerly
appearing as bondsman. When the case
was called for hearing the defendant
failed to respond and the forfeiture of the
bond was directed by Judge Scott, who SUBJ
sequenty ordered the issuance of the nee
essary Writs to enforce the collection of
the bond. Mr.. kennerly appeared in court
by counsel and continuance was granted.
Soon after the arrest. however, the man
was photographed. and Major Sylvester and
Captain Boardman set about to have the
prisoner identified. Responses came from
several cities to the effect that Thompson
had been arrested several times and had
served a three years sentence in the west
description follows:
ALBERT Thompson, alias Arthur Tunica
alias j. A. Malone, alias Dan Spencer,
professional 'pennyweight" thief; white
thirtythree years old, feet S34 inches high
115 pounds weight, stout build, florid COM
plexion, medium chestnut hair light mus
tache, blue eyes, dresses well, long scar ex-
tending from inner corner left eyebrow to
edge of scalp, two moles on left side of
face, tattoo dot between right thumb and
index finger, left index finger deformed at
third joint; nail slightly twisted"
According to the information contained in
the circular the prisoner was sentenced
March 80, 1889, under the name of ]. A.
Malone, to three years Imprisonment at
Fort Madison, Iowa. In 1886, it is stated,
he was arrested at Louisville under the
name of Albert Thompson and was acquit-
ted Of charge of grand larceny. He was
again arrested. according to the report, at
Omaha the Both of August 1899, under the
name Of Arthur Tunica and was fined SIS
for larceny.
At the time Of Thompson's release on
bond in this city the police were of the
opinion he would not be on hand when the
case was called. and for this reason they
made hasty efforts to get all the informa-
ton they could about him. AS soon as
cuts could be made the circulars were print
ed and sent broadcast.
Detective Muller is expected to return
with the prisoner the early part Of next
week.
