JUVENILE COURT
HAS JURY FAMINE
Real Predicament Faces
New Tribunal Till
October.

The first real predicament that has
confronted the new Juvenile Court was
made known today when several Of the
judges OF the courts conferred to dc
wise a scheme by which the new tri-
bunal could be provided with jury
At present there is 10 jury at the court
and there IS little prospect OF getting
one until October !.
TO add embarrassment TO the situa-
ton there is no way by which those
prisoners who are arrested and demand
a jury trial may be confined until the
day IS set for the trial. II is impossible
for them to be remanded to Jail await
ing the date Of their trial. because OF
the fact that they are under age and
therefore are not eligible to incarcera-
tiOn in the jail. No provision has been
made Tor sending such prisoners TO the
House OF Detention, for the authorities
there say they are unable TO take care
Of them.
The difficulty arose out OF the failure
TO call for a jury when the last drawing
was made on June 20. Those jurors who
dere drawn at that time have been i'm
panneled In all OF the courts OF the
District. and there are none left for the
Juvenile Court.
