Five Newsboys Under Age Are Brought in for Selling Papers After Ten
 O'Clock.
PROSECUTION FOR PARENTS
Chief to Take That Matter Up With the Prosecuting Officer-Boys Are Sent Home When
 Called for.

That the so-called "curfew law" passed about year ago by the board of aldermen is more than printed or dinance to be ignored was learned last evening by a group of five small boys who were taken into custody after 10 o'clock by Sergeant Smith of the cen- tral station for offering papers for sale after the hours allowed by that ordi- nanace, All the lads were little ones and appeared easily under the age which the ordinance covers, although one of the five declared he was four teen. The boys themselves were not placed under arrest but were taken in to the station house and held for the arrival of their parents, Who under the law are also liable for allowing them to be out after the hour set as the limit, The boys were held at head quarters until their parents came for them and then the names of the par ents were taken for the further use of the police.
 The arrests were another result of the determination of Chief Cowles to have the laws which are in existence enforced. He noticed the fact that a number of small boys were out late at night selling papers and many times causing annoyance to people OH the street by their importunities to buy their papers The order emanated from the chief to make some arrests in the matter and last evenings work was tho result.
 None of the boys taken in last night were actually placed under arrest and none will be brought before the court on charges although the law makes the boys eulpable as we'll as their par ents. The object is to make the par ents realize that the children should be kept at home and not set out with papers and with the names of the par ents ir this case the chief will prob ably now take the matter up with the prosecuting officer for the purpose of causing the arrest of the parents and making examples in this case.
 None of the boys seemed much wor- ried by their detention and in fact they seemed rather to enjoy being in good warm place, sitting down rath- CT than out on the cold street corners. All had goodly collection of papers and the smallest one of the group had nearly a score of papers still to dis pose of although it was then nearly il o'clock.
 The boys taken in gave their names as Charles and William Proctor of 25S Cedar street, the latter 10 years old and the former 12; Joseph Maresca. very small for that age, but declaring that he was IA, of 70 Hallock street; Samuel Coleman of s5 Eaton street, aged 12, and Harry Cohn of 1S3 Oak street, who says he is only nine.
