SENTENCE SUSPENDED.
Justice Gould's Views on Loafing
Around Pool Rooms.

In suspending sentence in the cases OF
four young men who pleaded guilty under
indictments charging HOUSEKEEPING and
larceny Justice Gould of the District Su-
preme Court today took occasion to utter
a strong warning against the habit of men
of their age of loafing about pool rooms
and other such places. The defendants
were John Howard, John Jackson, Henry
Berry and William Greenwell. They were
charged with entering government ware
house January II last and stealing there
from property valued at $25T.
The leniency shown the prisoners was
due, the court said, to their youth and to
the fact that In each case the offenSe was
the first charged. Justice Gould comment
ed upon the danger in such cases of eX-
ercisng too much mercy on the one hand
and on the other of destroying all hope of
reformation on the part of the guilty by
imposing the full penalty of the law.
ut would take" he observed, ''all the ac-
cumulated wisdom from Solomon down to
determine what is best to do in these cases
Furthermore Justice Gould said that "in
suspending sentence the court is in a sense
standing as hostage for these defendants.
Justice Gould closely questioned each of
the defendants and gave to each forcefuI
admonition. 1T would be much easier,
Justice Gould said, for the court to send
you to the penitentiary. but 1t would prob
ably mean your ruin. The whole trouble
arises from boys and young men hanging
around pool rooms and such places. You
can't afford to lead that kind of a life.
1t is bound to bring you into trouble.
The court informed each of the young
men that the suspension of the sentence
vas to hold only on his good behavior. All
answered that they understood the nature
of their release, and promised TO LEAD
straightforward lives henceforth- lhelr
personal bonds was taken.
Sentence was also suspended in the case
of Jesse Fuss, who entered a plea of guilty
of petit larceny, under an indictment charg-
ing grand larceny. His personal bond was

Mr.. Macfarland's Address.


Commissioner Macfarland said, in part:
Social service by the national capital,
which we are all endeavoring to make a
nearly perfect possible requires the Of
fetal maintenance Of public Fairgrounds.
Our citizens always public spirited and gen
erous. having demonstrated by their per-
sonal efforts and gifts during the past
three years that the children of Washing
ton should have public player ounds, such
as are found IN many cities in this country
and abroad, the Commissioners are endeav-
oring to secure proper provision for them.
For this year We had an appropriation of
$4,000, which, with private subscriptions of
$500, kept nineteen Fairgrounds going for
eleven weeks last summer. The children
themselves gave 81, $50. Now we are asking
for S1T.SOO for maintenance of school and
ground building. baths, gymnasium reading
room, auditorium, play rooms and other
things found in similar buildings elsewhere.
Boston has ten of them and Chicago erect
ed ten last year Our suggestions are rea-
sonable and our progress ought to be grad
ual. From abundant experience elsewhere
we believe that this is a necessary feature
of our educational system. The children
ought not to be In the streets, where they
must be II they are not In the playground.
While playing under expert direction they
can learn some of the most valuable les
sons in character building and good cit-
zenship. The movement makes distinctly
for the uplifting of these future citizens for
the reduction of crime, for the Improvement
of all our social conditions. Our need for
