JUVENILE DEPRAvITY.

To the Editor of TIE Washington Times:
An item Appearing In your yester-
days issue demands more than passing
notice.
You relate the case Of the arrest and
trial III the Juvenile court OF a fifteen
year-old white boy. the son Of a we'll
known business man. He was found and
arrested at a. m on the streets OF
Washington IN a state OF intoxication.
u is stated also that he had passed
the previous night south OF the Avenue.
Upon being searched at the police sta
ton a loaded revolver was found upon
his person.
The report concludes with the simple
statement that the boy was released
on his individual bond.
Should the public rest satisfied with
q peri. nctory disposal OF so appalling
an incident?
Should the really guilty parties In such
q transaction be allowed 70 go unScath-
edY
How is II possible. without fragrant
vtolation OF law and decency. for a mere
child to have passed the night in a dis
reputable section OF the cityI From
whom was the liquor procured which
made him drunk? %ho sold or gave
/ him the loaded pistol?
| AS II appears TO a layman, these and
similar pertinent queries should come
within the scope Of judicial inquiry.
| CURFEW.

A Refreshing Example.

Representative Hull Of Iowa has a
constituent who has a conscience II
IS not TO be supposed that this Iowa
man is the only man In his State
who has any conscience, but his
ethical perceptions are Of a kind a
little unusual in these days. Mr.
Hull sent his constituent a package
Of garden seeds in an official envelope
A little later he got a letter. The
constituent was bothered. He said
that he did not know what to do with
the seeds. The envelope was marked
Penalty of $500 for Private Use"
But he did not want to use the seeds
for any public purpose, he wanted
to plant them in his garden; and yet
he did not want To run any risk OF
paying $500 fine
Now, this man is a refreshing ex-
ception 70 the most OF his kind for
this reason: He was deferred from
planting those seeds because there
was a sign which seemed TO him TO
forbid It, No policeman was In sight.
and so far as he could see, nobody
would know whether he planted the
seeds or not. But he knew that If
anybody should ask him about il be
would have TO say he did; he could
not pretend that he had never re-
ceived them, or that they had been
lost out of his pocket on the way
from the postofice, or anything OF
that kind. And he did not want tC
do anything Illegal, anyway.

have to say It, would have taken the

Inspired BY Existing Street Car Conditions in Washington

Friends, brothers and suburban sufferers,
| come to we'll explain and not to blame
The TenIeytown and Georgetown railways plans
And all its ways of meeting with the law
TIL officers did promise you more cars,
And yet tbs you, not cars, upon the rail
Dear sufferers, it's unintentiOnal
Such cuts always unintentiOna
Although the most unkindest cuts of all
What hear you that? Yon citizen doth say
The cOmp'nys manager hath grossly DONE
Insulting the Commissioners who wrote
To him and begged nay, prayed
To see the schedule of the cars which is
Provided for within the law; and still
He Harries them with wondrous reticence
And deigns to write a superficial note
When he has got three courteous requests
From those who rule city and our homes.
But say not that he should be blamed for this
Have l not said twas unintentional?
He is most unintentional!
Your charity hath fled to british beasts
Because you've missed your but bear with this;
Do not say It's unntentiOnal?
See, what a wrong misstatements do,
Look, how your tongues run his endeavors through
He's not unkind; he's unintentional.
But yesterday he might have sent, you cry,
The schedule to the poor Commissioners;
Tfs true, he might; mayhap, he tried and failed.
brothers, if | were disposed to stir
Your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage,
Then would l the schedule withheld
Through traitorous deceit and dark intent
But twas not so; twas unintentiOna
As is he always unintentional
And who could censure such convenient fault?
You say he is grasping man and close?
My friends, remember his sweet promises
His liberaty in this is vast;
You could not blame man so generous
In this detail. He is not close and hard
AID, if he is tbs unintentional
As is he always unintentonal
And last of all, you say the service there
Is not improved? All friends, if it were so,
1t was a great mistake and not crime
But always, always unntentional.
So, If the service doth not soon improve,
So, if the schedule be not brought to light
So, if the courteous letters are ignored,
And If the still hour apart,
Remember, friends it's unintentional.
The fewer cars, the the dividends;
The fewer men employed the less expense
But, also, this is unintentional.
So is the whole plan unntentional.
Do not object and blame; nay, rather choose
To curse the cars, to curse yourselves and me-
But curse not him whose greatest fault is this:
He is always uninten-tional.
Come, bow your necks beneath the Lackey's yoke
Which is, kind friends, most unintentional

seeds were not intended for his gar

can would not steal a package ad-

disregarding a mere prohibition OF

who doubts this please notice the
number of Government prohibitions
which would never be noticed if a
policeman did not stand by to enforce
them.

THURSDAY. AUGUST Il. 1904.
A Naval Battle.

1t is reasonable to suppose that q
naval battle of a decisive nature has
taken place off Port Arthur following
the attempt of the Russian fleet of
six battleships and four cruisers 10
repeat successfully the maneuver
which cost Admiral Cervera his fleet
off Santiago during the Spanish war.
Even as was the case with Cervera,
the Russians appear to have been
obliged to choose between remaining
in the harbor at Port Arthur and at
tempting to escape the japanese fleet
outside in bold dash for liberty.
Seemingly the occupation OF Wolf
Hill by the Japanese army, from
which point the Russians admit that
it is possible to shell both the fort
ress and the harbOr, has decidedly
changed the complexion of affairs at
Port Arthur
Probably the flight of the Russian
fleet was due TO the fact that their
anchorage was no longer tenable, and
to have remained in the harbor would
have meant surrendering with the
town, sinking their vessels without
a fight, or risking the chance of being
battered to pieces while at anchor
and unable to return an effective
blow on the enemy. The sortie offered
the possibility of escape, or in the
case Of a fight, the opportunity OF in
fiicting damage on the Japanese fleet.
Reports indicate that the Russian
vessels were we'll out to sea before
Admiral Togo intercepted them and
forced a battle. This could scarcely
have occurred as the result Of lack
of vigilance on the part of the Japa-
nese. More likely Togo remembered
past experiences when the fierceness
of his attacks had driven the Rus
slams quickly back to cover before
he had a N21ce to deliver an effec-
tive blow Fe may have deliberately
held of ill a retreat into Port Ar
thur was no longer possible before
making his attack
The commander Of the Russian feet
doubtless hoped that he might make
q conjunction with the Vladivostok
fleet, which has been distinguishing
itself by raids around Japan. Such
a combination of naval force would
doubtless cause the japanese con-
siderable worry, and perhaps ever
hold the japanese at bay until the
arrival of the Baltic feet again gave
Russia theoretical command of the
sea.
According to japanese advices
which have usually been reliable, the
naval battle continued till sunset on
August 10, and in the night the
japanese torpedo boats made an at
tack which apparently damaged the
battleship RetviZan and another Rus
sian battleship Of the Pobieda type
Whatever may have happened. it is
not likely. If the japanese die
really catch the Russians at sea
that very many of the latter's yes,
sells will succeed in effecting a unior
with the Vladivostok squadron.

MRS. GOBLET GETS

NewpOrtS Society Disbelieves
Story Of Jewels.
PLAIN CASE OF BAD MEMORY
Similar Instance in Washington il
Which Reputation Was Tenn
porarily Ruined.

Almost the sole topic at Newport is
the solution Of what is termed the
great diamond robbery" and Mrs.
Goelet has her diamonds and the cold
shoulder Of society people, who condemn
her for her bad memory.
From the trend OF expression. the
social associates Of Mrs. Goelet disbe-
lieve the story about the recovery OF
the jewels from noted thief or the
surreptitious return OF them by an in
discreet member OF her own class. So
many accidents such as this have hap
pened among women who have more
worldly goods than they know what 20
do with. and the breath Of suspicion
rested lightly for a few moments on
some society man or woman, that it IS
probably just as we'll to chasten Mrs.
GOelet a little just for the sake of ex-
ample.
Washington had a similar case where
the life Of a very prominent young So
ciety woman was utterly ruined for a
time by q suspicion connected with the
disappearance Of jewels.
