Tots Made Criminal by Law.

The enforcement Of the new child
labor law is credited with RESPONSE
bility for the juvenile crime wave now
sweeping over Washington. The records
al the House of Detention, where the
boy lawbreakers are sent pending
trial. show that Juvenile crime in one
week increased more than 100 per
cent. over the preceding week. or -.
as against SO for the preceding week,
and 30 for the week preceding that. Il
is asserted that the increase in iuve-
nile crime is due TO the large number
Of boys rendered idle by the operation
OF the new law.
II is stated officially that about 500
boys have been denied permits 10
work. TO which must be added a larger
number who have been deferred from
working by their dread OF the red tape
connected with the enforcement Of the
law and the trouble necessary to Sc
cure permits
House OF Detention officials say II
may be that matters will adjust them
selves later. after the law has had
time 10 get in good working order.

been completed, where the buckets
are turned over by the man in attend

top OF the sewer. The carriage is
drawn back and forth by steel cables
operated by a stationary engine at
one end of the railway, and the man
in charge of the machinery seems TO
be able to control it so thoroughly
that he can stop the carriage within
an inch of where it is wanted. The
gearing of the carriage enables him
TO lower and raise the big buckets
into and out of the ditch when filed

back and forth rapidly. very little
time being lost between trips, al
though when the two buckets are

him from falling off.

steadily for weeks and everything
looked all right yesterday, but at the
time stated. when the carriage was
being shot backward with two buck

it was about half way to the stopping
