VISITS LOCAL COURTS
VIEWS OF SITUATION EXPRESSED
BY DIR. A. S. ORME.

DR.. A. s. Orme, who is known as the
father of juvenile courts. accompanied by
Mrs. Orme, arrived here from Norfolk yes
terday and during the forenoon attended
the sessions of the Police Court and in the
afternoon the Juvenile Court. DR.. Orme has
just finished ten years missionary tour in
the United States and Canada. He said to
Star reporter that the object Of his mis-
sion was twofold-first. to gather statistics
from penal institutions, all Of which he per-
sonally inspected. and second, to create pub
lie sentiment in favor of the Juvenile court
law.
DR.. Orme declared that Washington
Juvenile Court is now abreast of any in
the United States. He added the only fault
he finds with the Washington court for
Juveniles is that policemen say Judge De
Lacey is too easy on the defendants, while
the parents say he is too severe.
Hard to Please Folks.
$50 you Sec" he added lit is hard to
please folks. The rational reader will note
at once that this division of opinion of in
terestsd parties demonstrates the signifi-
canoe and the superiority of the juvenile
court law over all others, seeking only the
formation of the boys character. regardless
of every other condition. The policemen's
objections, while well grounded, arise from
the fact that the boy has already been left
loose too long and has become established In
his habits-and We are creatures Of habits
and held thereby: thus it will take time to
cure the boy of the poison of the past penal
system We had to meet the same thing in
other cities for few years, when by the
faithfulness of the probation officers no
trouble whatever is given the police"
In conclusion. DR.. Orme said Judge De
Lacey has no superior as Juvenile court
Judge, in his opinion. from the fact that he
takes time to enthuse the boy and girl
prisoners and thus create in their hearts
the hope for better things.
DR.. and Mrs. Orme will be here about two
weeks. after which they will take up work
among colored people.

Tour-Masted Schooner Has Trouble.

The big four-masted schooner Mount
Hope. which loaded coal at Georgetown for
New England port, was last Thursday
afternoon towed clear of the Georgetown
channel and she started to the capes In
tow of the tug William Fl. Yerkes, jr, of
this city. The vessel was ready to come out
from Georgetown Wednesday, but the tide
was so low that the tug boat men would
make no effort to move her. as she was
At high water Thursday morning the tug
Camilla and the tug Edith G. Winship
started from Georgetown with her. 1t is
generally supposed that there is twenty
two feet of water In the Georgetown chan
nel but in passing through the draw OF the
new highway bridge she struck bottom and
stopped In such position that the draw
could not be closed. For a half hour the
tugs worked on her. while traffic by the
electric railway from Alexandria was held
up and q large number of wagons were
lined up on either side the draw. waiting
opportunity to go across, but they
finally got her through, only to strike
lump in the channel and stop between the
two bridges. This time the stop was a
long one. and 1t was several hours before
she was again f1oated and brought to the
main channel of the river. To float her the
services of the tugs Yerkes. James o. Car
ter and Camilla were required The river-
men say that there is but eighteen feet of
water in the Georgetown channel and that
the bottom Is full of Jumps that makes it
very difficult to get a vessel of any size
out of Georgetown when loaded.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The advance in the figures for Gas stock
was somewhat prominent at the session to-
day of the stock exchange. more perhaps
because OF the lack Of other features than
for anything else.
The bid jumped up about a half point, and
instead of remaining at cor. as was the
case yesterday. 1t went to 81, with the ask
ing price quarter of a point in advance
of that. Still there was no stock brought
out, and at those figures no one seemed to
be specially interested in it. although one
broker remarked when the bidding ran up:
Il wonder II that means there Is going to
be change In the presidency Of that COM
pany?'
No one thought it worth while to make
any reply to that observation. and what
ever Information there might have been in
the board room on the subject did not come
out 1t Is not supposed, however, that any
change of that character is contemplate
or that any one is slated for the position
now held by Mr.. John R. Mclean at the
head of that company.
At the same time it is believed that more
people would like to know whether it is the
intention to declare an extra dividend in
cash or otherwise and when such an inter-
esting event is likely to occur. q
After the call there was considerable
trading In the stock at 615. and an option
on one hundred shares went for e.. One
hundred shares sold for 612, as well as
several twenty-five share lots.
Mitchell Mining stock followed the ex-
ample set today in the New York market
and went to higher levels. Yesterday 3$4
was bid for the stock and it was offered
for 4. Today, however the bid advanced

NEW YORK. April 27-Students of the
tape who attempt to express an opinion
regarding the stock market seem to be
about equally divided In their ideas as to
Its probable course in the near future.
Representatives of some of the largest
houses whose clients are chiefly among
the most prominent financial interests in
this city and throughout the country say
that the latter are hopeful regarding the
general situation and believe that stocks
are a reasonably safe purchase on declines
Representatives of the moderate-sized COM
mission houses. whose clients are more or
less Of a miscellaneous character seem in
clined to recommend the sale on every
rally Of Importance. They believe that for
some weeks to come the buying power will
not be sufficient to sustain any rally that
may be brought about. On the other hand,
1t Is apparently true that the professional
operators are not disposed to put out ex-
tensive lines OF short stocks at present
prices. They are Of the opinion that the
market, for some weeks at least, will fiuc-
tuate within very narrow range, as it
has done for several weeks back.
~
The president of a large western corpora
ton, who Is in town. said this morning
that in his opinion there must be liquida-
ton in labor and materials, the same as
there has been in securities in Wall street
He says that he does not wish to pose as a
calamity bowler, but he is firmly of the
opinion that business must slow down suffi-
GENTLY to bring about a substantial reduc-
ton in the cost OF labor and materials be-
fore the country will again be sub
stantial and healthy basis.

1t is understood that the lawyers and
bankers who for several months have been
engaged In formulating plan and a corpo-
ration for merging the principal railroads
in Mexico are now working out the bylaws
of the new company. One of the interests
most directly and prominently connected
with the whole undertaking says that it
may be possible to make a preliminary an
nouncement of the plan within short
time. 1t is understood that matters are in
such shape that 1t would be possible to
make a physical transfer of the Mexican
Central to the government within a weeks
time.
