SUSPECTED OF CRIME.
Eugene Hall Held Pending an Inves-
tigation.

Eugene Hall. an inmate of the Soldiers
Home, is being held in the District Jail
pending further Investigations regarding
the stabbing of Charles H. Sergeant, also
an inmate of the Soldiers Home, last Sat
urday night. A charge of assault with a
dangerous weapon was placed against Hall
in the Police Court today. and on account
OF the physical condition of the victim, who
is still confined In the hospital, the case
was continued indefinitely.
Shortly after 8 o'clock Saturday night last
Hall was seen running toward the stables
of the Soldiers Home grounds, yelling at
the top of his voice:
II killed the -.
Nothing was thought of the circumstance,
as Hall was subject to frequent attacks OF
illness.
About half-past IL o'clock that night
Sergeant's body was found lying near the
Scott spring He was very weak, but was
hastily removed to the hospital on the
grounds, and was found to have two severe
wounds in his back, one of them penetrat-
ing the lung His condition is still re-
garded as serious, although he is improv-
ing.
Hall has denied that he attacked Ser
geant and Sergeant up to the present has
made no statement as to the Identity OF
his assailant

STUDYING METHODS
JUDGE SALoMoN OF SWEDEN IN
sPEcTs JUVENILE COURTS.

Judge Harald Solomon. member OF the
law courts of Stockholm, Sweden, and spe-
cially commissioned by the Swedish gov
eminent to make trip through Jhis coun-
try to study the juvenile courts and the
manner Of handling Juvenile offenders. is
a visitor in this city, and he was an In
terested attendant at the Juvenile Court
at u o'clock today in The Police Court
building.
Judge Solomon IS greatly interested in
Juvenile courts and will spend four months
in this country. He has already visited the
courts in New York city, and came to
Washington from the metropolis. He goes
from here to San Francisco. and on his
return trip will visit Denver Chicago. In
dianapolis Cleveland, Boston and possibly
other cities.
Judge Solomon stated that up TO year
ago there was no special legislation in his
country for dealing with Juvenile offenders.
Up to that time they were practically treat
ed adults, but when they were under
fourteen years of age they were sent home
to be whipped. The courts, however, had
no way of knowing that their judgments
were carried out. About one year ago new
laws were put into effect. There is now
commission for dealing with Juvenile Of
tenders fifteen years or under. the COM
mission being composed of ministers. law
yers and persons from other professions.
Child Not Before Court
The child who is charged is not brought
before it. The evidence in the case and the
report of the probation officers is brought
before the commission through documents
and the commission is then called on 10
decide. Judge Solomon believes that II Is
an excellent thing to have the child
brought into court, for in many cases a
word of warning from the judge and a
lecture for the parent will do more good
than any order for punishment to be
carried out by the probation officers or the
officials who carry out the same duties
as the probation officers of the country.
Stockholm has one reform school,
but II is inadequate in it's provisions.
The judge was especially interested I'm the
house of detention, which he visited after
he had attended the Juvenile Court. He Is
impressed with the need for keeping the
young offenders separate from the older
ones, and the house of detention Is
unique feature of our local system.
Judge Solomon held short conference
with Commissioner West this morning. and
he was accompanied on his trip TO the
Juvenile Court and the house of detention
this afternoon by Probation Officer Copp
of the board of children's guardians. Judge
Mullowny also described to him some Of
the essential features of juvenile court.
II want you TO have one idea" said
Judge Mulowny. You cannot be sue
cessful in your Juvenile court system with
out a sufficient number of probation OFF,
GERS. They must watch the boy. the home
and must aid the court in many ways. And
the exacting duties he has to perform re-
qure much time.

WITH SPINAL CORD CUT
YOUNG WOMAN RECEIVERS
After TWO Years in Bed Entirely Par
-. .,yzed, She Now Walks With
Aid Of Clutches.

The. question whether the spinal

seems to have been solved by a young
physician Of New York Five years ago
Miss Clara Nichols OF 1913 South
Forty-ninth street was shot in the
back 4 diagnosis at the time resulted
In the. announcement that the spinal
cord had been severed by the bullet.
Or Francis Stewart. then just out
. of college. decided TO test his theory
that the severing of the spinal cord is
not necessarily fatal He sutured the
broken cord and with three stitches
omitted the severed parts. For three or
-four months the patient lay on her
p back In the hospital, and her death
was daily awaited. Her body below
where the shot had entered had been
completely paralyzed. She did not
even experience any sensation when
taking food OF water.
Dr. Stewart, however, insisted that
IN time bis patient would regain sen
saGiOI, and that in the course Of years
she would recover full motor power.
For two years she was kept in the hos
piIals where daily massage was given
her; and where, little by little, her
, Fqwers Of sensation returned. At first
she: could merely tell when she was
.toIclsed. But this year, for the first
tigse. she was abte to distinguish, when
