JUVENILE COURT IN
NEW QUARTERS.

The Juvenile Court is at last estab-
iished in comfortable quarters on Har-
rison street, between Tenth and Elev-
enth Since the fire this important
branch of the judiciary has received
but little attention from the public, al
though the work of correcting the
youth has been steadily progressing
under the watchful eye of Superior
Judge Murasky.
The court and Detention Home were
formally opened on September 10. The
day of Inauguration was an especially
busy one, more than twenty cases be-
ing heard and disposed of by Judge
Murasky. Many of the persistent Of
tenders and complainants were present
once more and the occasion was a sort
of family reunion to the Judge
Twenty-six youngsters were up be-
fore the court yesterday for various Of
fenses Some had run away from
home. others had been breaking win
dows in their neighbors' houses. others
had committed. petty larceny, while
some had indulged in the manly art
of swapping punches with their COM
panions with more or less success.
Judge Murasky was busy for three
hours disposing of the cases. Some he
dismissed with few wise words OF
warning, while others were sent away
TO public institutions or kept in the de-
tention ward of the home till flt places
of abode could be found for them.
The new home is divided into three
departments. the courtroom, probation
ward. The place is in charge of Pro
baton Oficer A. ]. Todd and a corps OF
assistants who have made the subject
of child Correction study.
The most interesting case to come
up before the court yesterday was thai
of little Johnny O'Doherty, the 5-year-
old child of william O'Doherty, who
hovers between life and death at tbs
City and County Hospital, the victim
before the court before, his parents
having neglected him in shameful
manner
The case is very sad one, one of the
most pathetic that has ever come un-
der the attention of the court. Severa'
DAYS ago O'Doherty was ordered tc
bring his child before the court. He
failed to do so and diligent search
on the part of the policeman proved
futile, for neither father nor child coulc
be located.
AS a result of the assault on O'Do-
J herty by footpads Thursday night the
cleW was gained, and Policeman Youns
of the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Children succeeded in locat.
/ ing little Johnny in tent near Eff
teenth and Shotwell streets. The child
was sadly neglected and gladly accom-:
panied the policeman to the detention
( home.
! Yesterday his case came up in ths
Juvenile Court. After hearing all the
evidence Judge Murasky decided tt
send the little fellow to a local orphan
asylum, where he will receive far bet
ter care than his father and mother
have been giving him.
Secretary White of the Humane So
ciety says that both O'Doherty and hil
wife have been victims of drink fol
years and shameful1y maltreated theil
children. One infant died some month.

was recently sent away to countr,
orphanage. The mother has not put IL
an appearance since little Johnny wa,

a UNIFORM SCALE
Association Is Formed to
Obtain an Even Market
on Labor and Material

About 100 men engaged in contract
fng and building architecture and also
property owners met yesterday after
noon at Franklin Hall and organized
the Greater san Francisco Construc-
ton Association. Ofhcers were elected

ternational secretary for the Citizens
Alliance.
The purpose Of the association is to
obtain uniform scale of wages in the
building industry and also secure a
staple price on material
The association was formed on the
lines Of the following resolution:
Whereas. We believe the permanent
reconstruction of our city is being ser
fously if not fatally retarded by con-
tinuous labor demands which have
threatened TO further force the labor
cost in construction beyond fair or rea-
sonable limits and surround the build
ing industry with work conditions
which tend TO produce continual in
dustrial instability. and
Whereas these conditions are large
y maintained. by a restricted labor sup
ply and
swheheas. The city's greatest indus
trial need is a large amount of labor
Of q character that will replenish its
depleted citizenship and give force TO
work Of rebuilding our ruins; therefore
be il
.Resolver, That this association de-
clares that il will exert every influence
IL possesses and will cooperate with
every other organization that displays
any longing to do so. to invite. secure
and guarantee permanent employment
and protection, with fair wages and
hours to all competent labor that can
be induced to come TO this city"

dent. Max Goldsmith; second vice presi-
dent. H. Thurston; secretary, r. Jones;

Tricks of Autograph Hunters.

Some autograph hunters tricks are
revealed in the Connoisseur. George
Eliot was taken in by lady who en-
listed her sympathy in fictitious social
work Another wrote to Ruskin a
touching letter of supplication which
ELECTED no reply, She wrote again in
a tone of almost pteous entreaty
but still silence. Then she adopted
another name and address, became
the bogus secretary of an imaginary
art club for young students in prov
incial town, and invited Mr.. Rushn
to come down and deliver an address.
The supplemented author wrote back
a long, delightful letter, asking to be
excused from giving an address un
til the club had made some progress
but impartlng much admirable coun
sci and useful rules of guidance.

Turner Pasted on a Picture the Print
of Vase He Wanted.
On one OF Mr.. Edward Moran's Wis.
its to London he made a careful study
of Turner.
They stopped In front of "Childe
Harolds Pilgrimage" and Mr. Moran
after examining the canvas closely
made the startling assertion that the
vase to the right was not a part OF
the picture, but was pasted on it.
Mr.. Warnham laughed the idea to
scorn and said 1t was absurd. Mr.
Moran persisted that he was right and
wagered dinner and bottle of wine
that he could prove it if he were given
the opportunity.
The wager was accepted. The pic
ture was taken down, the glass was
removed, and, to the establishment OF
the keeper, Mr.. Moran raised the edge
of the paper, over which, surely
enough, the vase had been painted.
Evidently, to save himself the trou-
BILE of drawing the object, Turner had
cut the vase out of some print, skill
fully hiding the point of juncture.-
