Common Forgery Rare.
Chlldren's crimes are recognized by
criminologlsts as a large and lmpor-
tant branch Of criminology. The COM
monest OF children's crimes are arson,
stealing and train wrecking, and the
rarest is forgery.
Arson. in the country especially, IL
frequently a crime OF childhood. Coun-
try children set fire to haystacks, barns
and sheds In order to see the great
bright flames leap skyward. Children
commit arson, In a word, out of a love
Of fireworks.
Children often wreck trains. Some
times they do this from reading about
romantic train wreckers. More often
they do 1t out OF curiosity. They pile
Instructions on the track to see what
will happen. They have no idea that
anything very serious will happen.
Children, OF course, steal good deal.
The best of men and women, looking
back on their childhood, can recall
many theft. Stealing Is natural.
Children now and then murder. Their
motive Is always jealousy. Thus In

-FOUR KILLED
IN AUTO SMASH
WITH ELECTR|C

Rochester. n. Y, Aug. 29.-Three women
and a Rochester physician who was driv-
ing an automobile near .Canandaigua were
killed instantly yesterday in a collision
between the machine and a Roches-
ter and Eastern trolley car. The dead
are: DR.. George Waldron, physician.
OF Rochester Mrs. Catherine Farnsworth
OF Rochester Mrs. William Scandling of
Hopewell and Mrs. Jane Hobbs OF Hope
well.
DR.. Waldron had gone TO Hopewell
with his daughter to visit the home
OF William Scandling there. and had
taken the three women for an automobile
ride. They were going TO the Freshour
Crossing to meet another friend of the
Scanding family.
Witnesses of the accident say that as
the automobile approached the trolley
tracks II was seen by the motorman.
The motorman made a signal, he said,
and DR. Waldron slowed up. Then, ap-
parently thinking that he could cross be-
fore the car reached him. he started
again. IL Is thought that the auto
mobile did not respond readily to the
levers, for II was caught on the track and
its occupants were thrown in various d.
rections from II. Their bodies were
