With 1he object of arousng local in
terest in the esta blishment near the capi-
tai of a national training and industrial
institute for coored boys and girls and
to urge the passage by Congress of the
Lodge bill appropriating 100000 to as
sist in the work. meeting was held In
the Belasco Theatcr yesterday afternoon.
Justice Ashley NJ. Gould of the District
Supreme Court presided and addresses
were made by Dr. Wilbur P. Thirkield.
president of Howard University; Rev. DR..
Richard D. Harlan of George Washing
ton University. William V. Tunnel, pro-
fesso- of history at Howard University;
Rev. Walter Brooks of the Nineteenth
Street Baptist Church. and Rabbi Abram
Simon of the Washington Hebrew Con-
gregation.
In opening the meeting Justice Gould
declared that the time has passed when
1t Is necessary TO say anything in favor
or industrial training and education. He
declared that the movement to establish
at the National capital an institution that
will carry on work simila- to that at
Hampton and Tuskegee merits enthusias-
tic support.
DR.. Thirkield paid tribute to Rev. s
Geriah Lampkins. the promoter of the
school. After declaring that education is
simply reaching men and drawing out
the best that is in them he closed by
quoting from Daniel Webster: He that
ears one child in virtue or restores one
fallen SOU to God. rears a temple
grander than Solomon's or St Peters,
more enduring than earth or sky
Purposes Are Far-Reaching.
DR.. Harlan pointed out that in his will
George Washington specifically arranged
that his slaves be taken care of I'm body,
ind
specially privileged" the speaker stated.
''as ! stand here representing the George
Washington University. to say brief
word in favor of the purpose for which
this meeting has been called. The pur-
poses are so beneficent. so far-reaching
that as one reads the bill now pending.
one cannot help wondering how we have
waited so long before establishing. in the
capital of the nation. such school as is
here proposed.
Il believe in such an institution he
added. because ! believe in man. be-
cause ! believe in the negro. If along the
lines that have now been tested and
establish here in Washington such a
school as is here planned. we are and
can be assued of large success. Do we
realize that one out of every three in
habitants of this District is negro. and
yet this great nation, at its very capi-
tai has hardly touched the rim of
progress in his practical education. We
can feel assured that if the nation will
but lend its fostering hand to help this
enterprise the results obtained will great,
~ strengthen and help the life of the
nations capital"
Prof Tunnel described some slum con-
ditions among the colored inha bitants in
the southwest section of the city and pre-
sented the need for such an institution
as is proposed.
DIR. Brooks said that the school ought
20 be established because it is necessary

and unfortunate. Rabbi Simon declared
that he hoped the enthusiasm of the meet
ing would reach the congressman on the

JUDGE DELACY's ADDRESS.
Contrasts Present With Past Customs
Regarding Juvenile Offenders.

The Council of Jewish Women was ad-
dressed last night by Judge William II.
DeLacy of the Juvenile Court. in the
lecture room of the Eighth Street Tenn
pie. The speaker contrasted the present
trea tment of children who have broken
the laws with the custom which prevailed
formerly in regard to juvenile offenders.
The state. he said. now makes distinc-
tion between those children who are
merely dependent and those who are
criminals. The mission of justice to the
child. he said. Is to reform rather than
to punish. The law now recognizes that
the child criminal is the victim OF en-
vironment and It's aim is to surround > m
with those influences which shall arrest
his progress in evil.
Judge DeLacy told many interesting
anecdotes of occurrences in his court ana
spoke with enthusiasm of the reforms II
had accomplished among the neglected
children of Washington. The speaker
was introduced by Mrs. Goldsmith, presi-
dent of the council.
An excellent musical program was
given by Mrs. Cora Steiner, soprano; Sol
Minister, violinist. and Mrs. l.. David, or

ROBBED BY POOTPADS
ROBERT E. COLE HELD UP AT
MALL GATE.

Held up at the point OF a revolver last
night, Robert E.. Cole. twenty years old.
OF 1905 r street southwest, was forced
to give up his money TO two negro foot
pads. The robbery occurred at the gate
to the Mall at 9Th and r streets north
west. and the negroes. with their booty.
fed through the park toward eth street,
escaping in the darkness before assist
ance could be summoned -
Mr.. Cole was on his way home shortly
after midnight and had just entered the
Mall. when two negroes leaped out from
opposite sides of the road One grabbed
his arm and pointed a revolver at his
head. with the accompanying command:
Give me your money The young man
was startled by the suddenness of the
attack and unconSciously stepped back
ward and this was sufficient provocation
Tor the other highwayman to grab him
The demand for money was repeated and
accompanied by another threatening DEM
onstrauon with the revolver 1t had the
effect OF convincing Mr.. Cole that discre-
ton was the better part of valor.
In repeating the story of his encounter
this morning. the victim of the hold-up
said: Naturally / was startled. and
could just seem to remember that j had
81 80 in one pocket and S12 in another
but l could not recollect which pocket
contained the smaller amount. The situ-
alton seemed desperate. and when the
second demand came for my money l
just reached down and handed out the
s12. One Of the robbers grabbed the
bills and. without further parley. both
took to their heels"
The highway ynlen made no attempt to
search Mr.. Coles pockets and neither his
watch nor the balance. OF his money was
disturbed. After the robbers released
their hold upon him. the young man con-
tinued on his way home. and the case
was promptly reported to the police. No
arrests have yet been made. and Mr.. Cole
said today that it is very unlikely he
would be able to identify his assailants
because their faces were almost indis-
tinguishable ia the darkness when the
robbery, was committed.

GOOOACRE PLEADS GUILTY
GETS FOUR MONTHS IN JAIL
AND PAYS HEAVY FINE.
Defendant Has Nothing to Say Be-
fore Sentence Is Imposed.
Judges Comment.

George l.. Goodacre. whose recent trial
for violating the gambling law resulted
in a disagreement of the jury. was ar
ragned today before Justice Stafford in
Criminal Court No. l on a new indict-
ment covering the same offenses recently
returned by the grand jury. He pleaded
guilty and was sentenced by Justice Staf-
ford to serve four months in Jail and to
pay a fine of 500. The sentence was
imposed on the seventh and eighth counts
Of the indictment. charging the making
of a handbook. and was suspended as
to the other six counts. which. charge
the setting up of a gaming table, peni-
tentiary offense.
United States Attorney Baker moved
the arraignment of Goodacre on the new
indictment. and after the plea Of guilty
had been recorded advised the court that
the offenses charged were identical with
those under which Goodacre had been
tried. All the offenseS, Mr.. Baker said
occurred prior to last July, and he
thought the demands of the law would
be appeased by the imposition af Jail
sentence of four months and a five-hun-
dred&dollar fine.
ford remarked that the courts judg-
ment conceded with the recommendation
of the United States attorney. and he felt
disposed to adopt it. He said hes was
satisfied this would be the end of Mr..
Goodacre's career in this line, and the
suspension of the sentence on the peni-
tentlary counts would be a warning to
him not to break the law nor to assist
others to break it. Justice Stafford ex-
pressed regret that public example re-
qujred him to send Mr.. Cioodacre to Jail.
but stated the defendant so understood
and accepted his punishment in proper
spirit. He then directed Clerk Hawken
to call on the defendant
In response to the clerks inquiry If he
had anything to say why the sentence
of the law should not be imposed Good
acre answered. Nothing" The sentence
Of the law was then formally announced
by the court.
Mr.. Baker asked that the two old in
dtctments Inder which Goodacre was
tried be- nolle pressed, and it was SO or
dered by the court
Goodacre was taken to the coll below
the courtroom to await the arrival of a
carriage. which he had engaged to con-
vey him Ito jail. Accompanied by Deputy
Marshal Cusick Goodacre was driven to
Jail and began at once to serve his term
of. Imprisonment
Attorney Henry f. Davis appeared in
court with Mr.. Goodacre.
