Escapes the Juvenile
Court By a Few Hours

Washington Walker escaped teing in
the Jurisdiction of Juvenile Court by
less than eight hours when he was
brought there yesterday charged with
larceny.
Judge De Lacy heard witnesses tell
tie story, alleging young Walker, hy
clever ruse, had almost fastened the
blame for stealing a pocketbook con-
tanning $l2 upon an old colored man.
1t was not until after this testimony
4 that Judge De Lacy asked the hoy mis-
age. According to his mother, he was
seventeen years old at O'Clock, at
which time he passed beyond the turis-
diCtton of the Juvenile Court, and will
have to be tried in the Police Court.
Policeman Walsh testified that the boy
had removed the money from the pocket
book which he had found in an old pair
of trousers belonging to Leroy Gaskins,
and had then thrown the pocketbook
into a vacant lot. Young Walker then
looked up his brother, according to the
policeman's story, took him walking
through the lot and allowed him to pick
up the pocketbook.
Next, the policeman said, young
Walker found three colored boys who
were willing to testify that they saw
an old colored man throw the pocket
book over the fence, and that he had
the officers of No. convinced that
the colored man was guilty until the
money was accidentally found in young
Walkers possession.

NEW YORK STOCKS WERE HIGHER,

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-There was q
decidedly better feeling in the short
session, and prices made substantial
improvement, but traders and brokers

cause for hope that 1t did not de-

The Moroccan situation was con-
sidered as decidedly better, with Lon

Probably more effective in causing
the Improvement was the story that
New York bankers had provided a
