BOY TRIED BEFORE JURY.
Two Youthful Admirers and But One
Girl. With Usual Result.

The trial of Paul Pul1en, colored. four
teen years old, in the Juvenile Court yes
terday was the first in which jury has
been employed for a case of this kind
since the court was established Paul
was accused by Joseph Simmons. colored.
thirteen years old. of cutting him on the
arm. The witnesses for the most part
were very small colored boys. One of
them was so small he could not get into
an ordinary courtroom chair without
hard climb.
Arrayed against Paul Plllen was the
majesty of the people of the United
States. as eXemplified by an assistant
prosecuting attorney. The jury which
most of whose names are well known in
the city.
The story of the trouble between the
two youngsters was tinged with school
boy romance. There is little girl some
where in the neighborhood of sd and p
mire. Joseph is said to have told things
to the girl that his rival, Paul, did not
like. Paul told Joseph that he must not
go with that girl any more. and after
that there was trouble. There were fish
cuffs and a chase, Joseph pursuing Paul
into the latter's front yard, where he
stood at bay, and, being smaller than
his enemy he termed it in court,
he felt called upon to use a small PEN
knife in his defense. The cut which the
enemy bore was not very serious. how
ever.
The jury was out five minutes and adj
judged Paul guilty. He was very much
scared. and the small witnesses did not
know what to make Of II all. The atmos-
phere was cleared, however, when Judge
De Lacey talked to the young defendant
for five minutes In fatherly way, and
put him under years probation. which
means that he will have to be on good
conduct and under the watchful eyes of
the probation officers of the court until
one year from yesterday.

WRIGHT DOES FANCY STUNTS
CUTS FIGURES OF EIGHT IN AIR
AT COLLEGE PARK.
Signal Corps Pupils Taken Up for
Long Flights This Morning-New
Rules for Visitors.

Unusually long flights were made by
Wilbur Wright at College Park this morn
ing, and all of the army officers who are
in training were taken up in succession
Lieut.. Lahm was given the first flight at
7:41 and remained in the air for eighteen
minutes. Then at S:15 Lieut.. Humphreys
was taken. up for flight of seven min
utes and forty seconds. Then at S:32
Lieut. Benjamin D. Foulois, who made
the speed flight with Orville Wright from
Fort Myer to Alexandria and return, was
taken up for flight of twelve minutes
and thirty seconds. This was the first
time that Lieut.. Foulois has been in the
air during the present series of training
flights He was allowed to handle the
control levers of the machine during most
OF this flight. as he is familiar with the
aeroplane and has made several flights
before. There was another flight made at
SIS, when Lieut.. Lahm was taken up for
eleven and a half minutes, and then Mr..
Wright put the machine on the rail at
go and made flight by himself of
twelve minutes and thirty seconds. There
was one false start made at 3:45. and then
as the wind had sprung up the flights
were called off for the morning.
Cuts Figures Of Eight.
The training flights of the three Off
GERS were all conducted at low alti-
tude and were devoid of particular Incl
dents. The flight which Wright made
by himself was the most sensational in
appearance that he has made at the
training grounds He flew very low to
the ground at one time. and then COM
menced cutting figures of eight. While
at the upper end of the grounds he
turned in small circles seeming to test
the maneuvering ability OF the aeroplane

while flights were in progress. Visitors
who arrive before the flights commenced
will be allowed to go to the aeroplane

what Is from some point of view the
mainmost interesting feature about this
structure Is that it was built throughout
by the boys of the school. The bricks
in the exte. ior walls were laid by the boys
and all the other details were their handi-
work.
1t is not the first work of the sort done
