Terms Not Specified.
The report also states that boys received
through the courts of this District have
not hitherto been committed to the school
for a definite term, but until twenty-one
years of age. unless sooner reformed and
discharged on parole by the board of trus-
tees, the average time of detention being
about two years.
And juvenile offenders from the United
states courts, though committed to the
school for definite terms, are in all cases
committed for term sufficiently long to
insure the probability of reform where re-
form is possible.
The length of time that both the United
States and District of Columbia boys have
been held under the discipline and salutary
restrictions of the school has generally
been sufficient to insure very beneficial
results. But under the provision above
many. if not all, District juvenile offenders
for very short terms. never in any case
10 exceed one year. The object in sending
youthful Offenders to the school is not mere
punishment so much as discipline and re-
form, and the question of the accomplish
ment of this end should. as far as prac-
tcable, rest in the wisdom and Judgment of
the authorities of the institution itself
1T is respectfully submitted that the pro-
vision above quoted might tend to ma
terially diminish the good possible in the
reform work of the institution and to con-

DAVE RICH IN BOSTON.
Comments on Substantial Reasons for
 Belief In Findings.

From the Shoe Retailer
 Dave Rich of D. x A. Rich, retail shoe merchants of Birmingham. Ala, was in Boston last week for few days, during which time he was a welcome visitor at the office of The Shoe Retailer.
 D. X A. Rich are up-to-the times shoe dealers, and as such they have given the findings proposition proper consider aton. The findings in the Rich store are given as much prominence as footwear. Shoe trees have been a big seller with this firm, and in speaking relative to the great increase in this branch of their business, MT. Rich said
 With the modern and almost perfect methods of manufacturing footwear and the various ways of preserving and car ing for our shoes, the admiration of the world should be upon our feet. Every shoe retailer owes it to himself, as well as to his patrons, to be competent in fitting feet correctly, and after perform ing this service he should advise the wearers how to properly care for the shoes in order that the greatest com for and the best appearance may be obtained and retained.
 Shoe trees should invariably be sold to every shoe purchaser Shoes are often damp when removed from the feet, and thrown into the closet or under the bed, they soon set out of shape and the wrinkles grow larger and larger causing the shoes to become uncomfortable and unattractve
 But there Is another side to this story The sale of shoe trees adds largely to the srofity of the shoe dealer, and the most of us are in business for profits"
 What Mir. Rich says is so. He speaks from practical experience, and it would open the eyes of some shoe dealers to learn Of the many shoe trees sold in this Birmingham store.

 "Circumstantial Evidence" a military comedy. was the play given last night, ant It afforded many a hearty laugh, and plenty of exciting situations
 One of the most pleasing features of tn performance was the bright, clean, up to date vaudeville sketches, presented between the acts, which in themselves are worth the price of admission.

POOR FARM WATER SYSTEM
HYDRAULIC RAM FURNISHES The
BUILDINGS WITH WATER
FROM GOOD SPRING.

A Rifle hydraulic .agine has been III
stalled at the poor farm to pump
water from springs to a reservoir
which has a capacity of 5000 gallons
and which is located on hill above
the farm.
An unusual feature with the engine
is tha. it can be operated with othtF
water than that pumped. This feature
is necessary for it to perform the
work required of it in this instance
as the flow of the spring is no. sum-
cient to operate ram. The water
used to operate the engine IS taken
from a nearby creek.
The engine was put in operation
Friday. The reservoir gives the
water a head of 80 feet. When the
faucets in the house were opened the
water rushed forth with great force
There are now only five regular pa$
tients at the poor farm. With one ex-
ception these are all old men over oe
wears of age The exception Is {
Young man of about % years of age
who is feeble minded.

comparisons are odious." Also the
article of ball pitched by Boyce for
the prisoners, was of a superior quail
ity, one which set the Wonders Won

six hits.
In the first inning the convicts COM

herded in three tallies.
The Wonders looked close and tried
to pick the Cons trail but lost it on
rocky ground and went back into the
alfalfa without stinging once.
This continued with pleasing reg
ularity until the expiring half of the
eighth session when the score keep
er forgot himself and chalked up on
the Wonders side of the board. This
naturally encouraged the erstWhile
champions who steadied down prepar-
atory to making a quick repair. The
season was too near over, however
to permit anything being accomplish
ed.
1t appears that the new green suits
had a beneficial effect on the work OF
the prisoners. 1t will be remembered
that it was necessary to play 10 in
nings in the previous game to break a
tie. There was no hint of tie in
this game, however, unless it was the
double bow into which the bows IL
green twisted their opponents.

PURSE SEINE CASE
MAY BE CARRIED UP.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Sept 2.-Attor-
ney General J. D. Atkinson has been
appealed to to assist a citizen of this
state who has been convicted in the
Oregon courts of violating the Oregon
fishing laws and the attorney general
has practically decided that if the Ore
gOn supreme court, where the case is
now pending, sustains the lower court
in this conviction, the case will be ap-
pealed to the federal court.
The. trouble arose over the use of
purse seines at the mouth of the Co
lumbia river, these seines being pro-
hibited under the laws of Oregon, but
permitted under the laws of Washing
ton. The Oregon authorities arrested
a fisherman who was using purse
seines, and although he set up the de-
fense that when arrested he was fish
ing on the Washington side of the riv-
er, he was nevertheless convicted in
the Astoria court. An appeal was then
taken to the Oregon supreme court.
