CAUSE UNKNOWN
or the Death of Mrs. Rosa Man.
grum.

Nashville. Tenn, Feb. G.-"Noth-
ing new in regard to the murder o.
Mrs. Mangrum," say relatives and
officers. They are still hard at work
on the mystery, and while they are
rot giving out anything. it is evil
dent that they have possession OF
some valuable clues.
The cause of Mrs. Mangrum' 5
death appears to be a still greater
mystery than at first thought. The
autopsy conducted by physicians here
did not reveal the cause of her death.
and they are now engaged in a chem
ical examination of the stomach to
ascertain If there can be found a
cause there. The absence of water
n the lungs clearly shows that she
was not drowned, and some are of the
opinion that her body was not in the
water long, on account of II not be-
ing discolored.
Mrs. Logan Trousdale has offered
a reward of $25 for each OF the three
missing articles Mrs. Mangrum was
known TO have had when she left,
besides her trunk. One of them is a
zibeline three-quarters cloak, tur-
ban hat and sealskin purse about
eight inches long.

II HELPS SAVE THE CHILDREN.

The juvenile court bill is winning
favor all over the state, especially
in those cities where such courts
are proposed to be established. One
of the main principles of this juye-
nile court idea is that it tends to
bring about the reformation of chill
dren in their homes, without COM
hitting them TO reformatories.
Our state geform school is now in
a crowded condition. Its success as
a reformer is doubtful. as evidenced
by the career of some of those sent
up from Padueah, after they re-
turned home. 1t costs a great deal
TO send children to the reform school
and costs to keep them there.
The Lexington Herald reports that
Supt. Doak, of the reform school,
says that the school is now so
crowded that it is impossible to adj
init more children, and he has sent
a, communication to each county
judge in the state that no more boys
will be admitted. This means that
boys heretofore sent to the school of
reform must now be sent to the pen
itentiary, declares the Herald. 1t
means that other boys will be con-
fined for long periods in the local
jails in daily contact with hardened
criminals; and that still others, who
need to be taught something of the
sanctity of the law. will be dismissed
by a merciful court, that considers
no punishment better than the alter
native offered. In the first in
stances, instead of the youthful cul-
prit being reformed by the process
of the courts, he will be successfully
graduated in crime. ITO try to re-
form boy" says Judge Lindsey,
by throwing him into Jail, is like
trying TO cure him of sickness srby
throwing him on the garbage heap"
In the second instance, where the
child charged with crime is simply
dismissed by the court instead of
being sobered and chastened by his
contact with the law. he will simply
gain the idea that the law is of no
effect and not to be seriously re-
garded.
Could our state legislature build
and maintain sufficient houses of re-
form to hold all the juvenile culprits
of the state, so that we might avoid
either of these alternatives already
considered, we. should still not be
doing the best thing for our chill
dren; we should probably not find a
commensurate diminution T I'm that
juvenile crime which is now so
alarmingly on the increase, and we
should be saddling our state with
fearful additional financial burden.
Under the old criminal court and
Jail system in Colorado before the
introduction of the juvenile. code, 1t
