FOR ONE FAMILY ONLY
Estimate Descendants John and
Mary Loomis at 100000

HARTFORD, Conn, Oct. 11.-A pre-
paratory school with an endowment OF
$2,OOOO0O, making it probably the
wealthiest in America of its kind, IS
to be founded at Windsor, Conn, the
money being left by Hezekiah, Osbert
John and James Loomis and Mrs. Abb
bic Hayden, all of one family.
The school will be unique among edu-
cational institutions in that every one
of its scholars must be a descendant
of John and Mary Loomis, who came
to America in 1888. A study of the
family tree shows that more than
100000 persons in the United States
are so eligible.
The death of the widow Of Colonel
John Mason Loomis in Chicago last
week releases certain investments in
Chicago real estate, 75hilh are to be
used for starting the school.
The LOOMS ancestral home at Wind
sor is to be the site for the buildings

victim, who processes to have parted
with $4,000, knew several days ago
that he had fallen among thieves, he
delayed making a complaint. The po-

they entered the bank. Cederholm
waited for long time and then looked

Entering the bank he learned that

CLOSES DOORS OF
JUVENILE COURT
Judge Wells, New incumbent,
Will Exclude All Visitors
From Courtroom

OAKLAND, Jan. 6.-Judge William
S. Wells, who has been assigned to
the bench of the juvenile court here,
held his first session behind closed
doors yesterday afternoon, dealing
with 26 cases. The court excluded all
visitors, including newspapermen, from
the courtroom and announced his IN
tention to enforce strictly the section
of the law which permits any child
either of his parents or his guardian
to demand a private hearing.
The nature of juvenile court cases
is essentially private" said Judge
Wells, and the law is very explicit,
both as TO what the child or its par
ents may ask, and as to what the judge
is commanded TO do. Neither spectators
nor the press are by law allowed at
juvenile court hearings"
Section % of the juvenile court law
reads: ANY child shall be entitled to
a private hearing upon the question of
its dependency or delinquency, and
upon the request of said child, or either
OF its parents or guardian, such hear
ing shall be had privately in the man.
ner provided by law for private hear
ings at preliminary examinations"
Section SOS of the penal code reads:
The magistrate must also, upon the
request of the defendant, exclude from
the examination every person except
his clerk, the prosecutor and his coun-
sci, the attorney general, the district
attorney, the defendant and his coun-
sci, and the officer having the defend
ant in custody"
It has been the practice of Judge
Lindsey in Denver and of Juvenile
judges elsewhere to hold juvenile hear
lngs privately, even before laws were
passed requiring such procedure.
In order to keep in personal touch
with the probationers without COM
pelling them to appear in court re-
peatedly the judge will hold a recep-
tion night every two months. when
the parents of each child on probation
will be invited to meet the Judge and
tell him of the children's progress and
conduct 1t is hoped in this way to
convince the young people that the at
titude of the judge is friendly toward
every child who is brought before him.
