day afternoon, has been raised and is

to get into the hull as the seas from
passing tugs and vessels washed against

went down. To raise her she was work

Two Boys Arrested on Automobilist' 3
Charge Fined in Juve-

If Judge. De Lacy Of the Juvenile Court
has his way there will be no more roller
skating at night on the streets of Wash

views on the subject during the trial yes
terday afternoon of Edward Gibson and
John Williams. charged by Abe Cohen
of 416 18th street with storing his auto
mobile Thursday night while on Virginia
avenue southeast
Cohen testified he was motoring with
friends at the time, and a gang of col
ored boys on roller skates caught hold
of the sides of the machine. Gibson and
Williams were the ringleaders, he said.
When he warned them to stay away from
the machine a volley of stones was
thrown. Cohen reported the affair to the
police and the two boys were arrested.
Roller skating at night by the children
of this city is going to be stopped il it
lies in my power to stop it, said Judge
De Lacy. II have seen young girls In
company with such boys as you out as
late as IL o'clock. No good comes of such
association. l warn you and advise you
to spread the news broadcast, nocturnal
skating has to stop. You are cutting
off your own heads by just such practices
as Mr.. Cohen has described. Boys like
you will be vigorously prosecuted when
they are brought into this court for such
offenses."
The court imposed fine of $40 on each
boy for disorderly conduct.
