n. MORGAN FACES
TRIAL FOR MURDER
Stabbed Companion During
Taft-Diaz Exercises
torneys Attack Law

In county court Monday moring. the
attorneys for Noel Morgan. the II year
old boy charged with the murder OF
Lawrence Wimber, IA years of age, con-
tended that county judge Evlar mad no
authority to preside in the case They
contended that tie amendment to sec
ton nine of the constitution of the
state OF Texas was unconstitutional. in
that while the law of 1907 regulating the
Juvenile court is good, the amendments
are not because these amendments passed
on March II. 1909, state the child shall
be tried upon certified copy of an in
dictment which has been dismissed in the
district court, and the attorneys contend
that If the Indictment has been dis
missed. he cannot be tried; also that the
constitution states that felonies shall
have their origin and be tried only in
the district courts before a jury of II
men, and that the jury shall fix the
penalty.
The amendments in one instance hold
that the jury, which is composed of six
men in the county court, shall find him
guilty OF the charge set out in the in
dictment, which in this instance is muir
der; also that when he has been CON
victed the judge shall fix the penalty,
which is unconstitutional
District attorney Howe asked that the
case be passed so that the higher courts
might rule on it. However, attorneys
for the defence objected to this and
wanted the case dismissed. Judge
Eylar stated that some one would have
to try the case and called it for hearing
at 10:30 Monday morning.
Young Morgan stabbed and killed
Wimber on October 16, 1909, while they
with other school children were massed
in San JacintO plaza at the time presi-
dent Taft was entering the st. Regis
hotel for breakfast.

During all the time the boy has been

The youngest of his companions was

AS a result of the boy being cut off
from companionship that would aid in
his development his mind Is as barren
as when he entered the poor farm three

TREATMENT OF DELINQUENT
AND DEPENDENT CHILDREN
Difference in Methods is Dwelt Upon
by Speaker Before Conference In
St Louis Today

St. Louis, Mo-, May 16.-IE an ad
dress on the Dependent Boy VS.. The
Delinquent State" before the national
conference on the Education of Back
ward, Truant, Delinquent and Depend
ent Children here last evening the
Hon c. E. Faulkner, of Minneapolis,
arraigned the states of the union for
their failure to make proper provision
for the protection of dependent chill
dren. He contrasted the manner in
which dependent children are treated
with the treatment accorded delinquent
children and concluded that it cannot
be truly said that the Juvenile court
secures to dependent children the just
equivalents for advantages lost by
the transfer of their causes from the
probate or guardian courts.
The largest decker OF the juvenile
courts is the cases of delinquent chill
dren and adults who contribute to their
delinquency, and the atmosphere is un-
avoidably that of the criminal court.
Delinquent children compelled to go
from city to farm do not enjoy equ !!
privileges with farmers children 10 at
tend schools where farming is taught
No state secures to its wards this
necessary schooling and all states are
thus delinquent debtors to the children
whom they compel to. become farmers
Through the mistaken kindness
judges many border line cases of semi
delinquent children are committed to
an association with innocent dependent
children upon the theory that bad
boy will not harm so many good ones.
but may himself be reformed through
the association. The courts must re-
spect the law of social quarantine or
stand condemned by their own rulings.
OhiO's Work.
Fifty five out of So counties in Ohio
now have county children's homes
which cared for an aggregate of 1907
dependent children last year, according
to a statement made by Seymour ].
Hathaway, of Marietta. o., in an ad-
dress before the conference.
The law of Ohio requires that the
dependent children shall be placed out
in family homes by these institutions
as early as possible and visited at least
once a year. The care of their depend
ent children cost the SO Ohio counties
