LOUIS GREENBERG FREED.
Judge De Lacy Decides There Is No
Reason to Hold Him.

Louis Greenberg, the fourteen-year-o old
boy whose request for a permit to sell
newspapers in Washington was refused
Friday by the school authorities on the
ground that he was a nonresident and
under the compulsory education law he
should not be allowed to compete with
the local boys, and who was later taken
to the House Of Detention, was released
by Judge De Lacy in the Juvenile Court
yesterday. Capt. Boardman of the pc.
lice department received a telegram from
the boys father, who lives in Myerstown
Pa. saying that the boy was here with
his consent The boy claimed to have
SIT at the Hotel Johnson. Judge De Lacy
therefore, determined the Court had nc
right to hold Louis and ordered him
freed.
Young Greenberg, who looks more like
clever than fourteen years old, recently
distinguished himself by calling at the
White House to see the President. He
failed In his purpose. but later called
upon other high officials of the govern
ment.

Expectoration Unchecked.
To the Editor of The Star


Almost daily the local papers contain
articles or news items containing plans
for the fight against tuberculosis in WASH
ington. Meanwhile, the great primary
source of infection, expectoration on the
sidewalks, appears to receive scant notice
from the distinguished leaders of the
movement. Why do they not insist that
the law upon the statute books against
splitting on the sidewalks be at least &C.
casionally enforced? If they will take a
walk any afternoon around any part of
this city they vii. learn the main reason
for WashinGton's abn"r~nclly high death
rate from tuberculosis.
Twice | have seen po .crinen In uniform
spit on the sidewalk. Repeatedly any one
may see them look ON benevolent,y while
offenders VIC ate the law against SD ting
n public places. The valid excuse given
In regard TO many other existing
Observation-Disclosures OF the police force
can hardly stand in this case. The cap
ture OF a murderer-the classic Dorsey
FoultZ. for inStance--may call men from
their regular duties, but the arrest of Of
fe..dinS spitters could come in the routine
OF the days work. The street car CON
dlctors do much better. They Invariably
warn offenders. Appealing to sentiment
through Red Cross stamps Is well enough,
bat few object lessons in the Police
Court would also save lives.

utes.' said Sheriff Welt today, land
will try to select only those men who
am certain will do everything in their
power to enforce the law and preserve
order i'll Montgomery county. Each
deputy will have a uniform badge bear
ing the coat of arms of the state OF
Maryland, and the various kinds of old
badges that have been used in the past
will be abolished.
"One of the first things | am going
to do is to better the condition of af-
fairs al the jail. l shall give the jail my
personal attention and will see to it that
there will be no cause for criticism OF
the way things are managed there.
Il shall also refurnish the sheriff's Of
flee and make 1t a comfortable waiting
room for those who come from differen,
parts of the state and county to nave
business with the sheriff

the late sheriff, J. w. Collier, six years
ago, serving for two years. He was
three times a candidate for the demo

ing two former sheriffs, James Colt and
Horton G. Thompson. but won the nomi.
nation by a plurality of more than 2ot
