JUVENILE COURT DAILY.
Change in Plans for Hearing Cases
Against Youthful Offenders.

Beginning with yesterday, the juvenile
branch of the Police Court will be held
every day during the week instead of Mon
days. Wednesdays and Fridays, as hereto
fore. This plan, it is thought, will do away
with much unnecessary hardship which, 1t
is said has been put upon juveniles who
have been arrested in the past and locked
up at the house of detention because their
relatives were unable to furnish collateral
for their appearance in court If a juvenile
were arrested after - o'clock on Friday
he would have to remain at the house of de-
tention, unless released on collateral, until
noon of the following Monday before he
could have a hearing.
Judges Scott and kimball will alternate
in holding the court, while the prosecutions
will be attended to by Mr.. Ralph Given, as
sistant to the United States attorney for
the District.

TO PREVENT ACCIDENT.
Railroad Company Will Station Watch
man at Benning Crossing.

AA"AA a. OSAAAh6 SAOoSAA6.
A number Of citizens of Benning several
weeks ago petitioned the Commissioners to
have Waterman placed at the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad crossing in that suburb.
Commissioner West referred the matter to
Major Sylvester with instructions to have
the police officers on duty in that town OBJ
serve and report upon the action of the
engineers of trains on that line when reach
ing the crossing. He stated that Mr.. Legge.
terminal agent of the company. had in
formed him that few trains passed that
crossing during the day and that each en-
gineer had orders to bring his train to a
full stop upon reaching the crossing. Mr..
man was sent ahead of the train to give
proper warning. The Benning citizens
recently wrote to say that neither Of these
precautions were being enforced.
In report made upon the matter Lieut..
J. c. Daley of the ninth police precinct
stated that since the receipt Of the COM
plant the policemen have carefully watched
the trains at the Benning crossing and
have observed that they pass without
stopping to let fireman or brakeman off to
flag the train over the crossing except when
shifting cars into the Benning abattoir
yard near the crossing in question.
Lie ROAD complained OF, II is stated is a
single track freight line and about five
trains pass the crossing each day. There Is
an electric alarm gong at the crossing,
which rings for fully three minutes before
the approach of train. and the trains pass
at slow rate Of speed. There have been
no accidents at this crossing since the road
was built If the precautions proposed by
Mr. Legge were strictly enforced there
would be no possible chance for accident
at this point.
Mr. George E. Hamilton representing the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company,
called upon Commissioner West Monday
with regard to this matter. Mr.. Hamil-
ton stated to the Commissioner that an
agreement was entered into between the
railroad company and the Commissioners
some time ago providing that all trains
should stop upon reaching the crossing
and that a fireman or brakeman should be
sent ahead to flag the crossing before the
train moved ahead.
When informed by the Commissioner that
those conditions were not complied with
Mr.. Hamilton promised that the company
would order a Waterman placed at the
crossing within two three days.
