JUDGE DELACI AND THE
JUVENILE COURT JUDGESHlP

An appointment in which large
number of persons are interested is
that of the Judge of the Jevenile Court
of the District Of Columbia. The Juve
nile C@utr was established under Pres
idcnt Roosevelt who appointed as its
first Judge Judge DeLacy, who has
held the position ever since. As is to
be expected in one developing the poll
cy of :; court that does with such intl-
mate and personal relations as Juve-
nile Court was established under Pres
one intrusted with is policy should
have made enemies. But the unani-
nous opinion Of those in position to
know is that Judge Dcl.acy has
brought the Juvenile court of the Dis
trict of Columbia up to high standard
of efficiency. His decisions have been
quoted all over the country and his
name stands in Juvenile court circles
with that of Judge Lindsay Of Denver
Judge Adams, of Cleveland and Judge
WILDER of California.
It is a well recognized fact that en-
pcrience is one Of the most important
factors in efficiency in Juvenile Court
work and it is to be hoped that Presl-
dent Taft will appoint Judge DeLacy
rather than someone ignorant Of the
needs of the District VINO will have to
spend large part OF MS first term III
accommodating the knowledge necessary
to successfully carry forth the work
now so well organized.
Judge DeLacey's appointment Will
not only be gratifying to the friends
of Children Of Washington but to a
LARGE number of AleXandrlans as wei
who from their proximity to Wash
inrton are familiar with the courts
of the District. and who have fount
Judge DcLacy exceedingly wise anc
practical in his solutions Of many
family problems where the interest OF
children are concerned. In addition
TO his excellent work in the court
Judge DeLacey has contributed valu
able assistance to the education of tn
general public on sociological subjects
and his influence has been widely Eel
throughout the south.
We readily add our testimony t
1udnc DeLacey'S worth and our volc
to the appeal to the President to ap
point him.

termediate between the zone in which
West Falls Church is situated and the
Fairfax zone, the present one-way and
round trip fares are unreasonable.
We find that as between Washington
and the stations known as Robey, An
trim and Burr the fares should not
exceed % cents one way or 40 cents
for the round trip; that as between
Washington and the stations known
as Dunn Loring, Enola, Wedderburn,
Woodford and Franklin the fares
should not exceed 30 cents for one
way or so cents for the round trip;
that as between Washington and the
stations known as Vienna and Park

cents one way or So cents for the
round trip; that as between Wash

ceed 40 cents one way or 60 cents for

Washington Virginian Line Given
Month to Arrange Rates to
Mt. Vernon
COMMERCE COMMISSION ACTS
Finds That Discrimination is Made in
Charges Between Different Stations
on the Line.

| lHuSL ADJUST us faLeS OF IareS between
Washington and Mount Vernon anC
between other points on their line by
August first is the conclusion reach
ed by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission yesterday in sweeping de-
cision against the railway company
handed down in the case of J. II. Bit
ger of Alexandria against the COM
pany.
The commission also points out hat
as the defendant company provides
communication rates for travel between
Washington and certain points on its
lines it should, to avoid undue dis
elimination, provide communication
rates for travel under similar conditi-
tions between Washington and the
other points on its lines.
Company's Finances.
Speaking Of the finances and state
ments of the company, the commits
sion says: at is inconceivable, how
ever, that the property should have
cost the enormous sum of 1925, 1884,
81 per mile Of line. Assuming that
the amount of money actually invest
ed in the property was 100000 per
mile, or S2,749,S00 as whole, the tot
al cost would be only S317.500 more
than the present outstanding stock. 1t
would be S652,200 less that the pres
ent funded debt.
The commission gives conclusions
as follows:
"Complaint is made that special
communication fares are not maintain
ed for the use Of pupils who attend
the schools in Washington city. For
number Of years prior to October 10,
1902, special rates were published by
the Observation-Disclosures and

becaus. the officerin charge seems
unwilling to give any definite in

A petition has been numerously
signed by the business men and
citizens generally of Franklin and
of the Cypremort country re-
questing the Southern Pacific
railroad to change the present
schedule of the Cypremort Branch
to a more favorable one, as far as
the interest Of this town and Of
Cypremort is concerned. The
present schedule allows the pen-
pie coming in on that train too
short a time to transact their
business here. 1t often forces
them to spend day and a night
in Franklin, when that business
is urgent, before they can return
to their homes. Also that
schedule does not seem to be a
fixed one. 1t provides for the
train to arrive at Franklin at
certain hour in the morning and
to leave at a certain hour in the
evening But it often, very often
happens that persons, coming in
on that train during the morning,
transact their business hurriedly,
and rush back to the depot at the
stated leaving hour, and are COM
PEELED to await there an indefinite
time for the train. We know that
a great railroad system cannot, as
a rule, regulate their business just
to favor any special locality. We
do not ask that; but we hope that
it can see its way clear to return
to the schedule of the Cypremort
Branch which was in vogue be-
fore the present one was adopted,
that is, arrive in Franklin at 9 a.
M, asd leave at 4 p. m. This
schedule gave universal satisfac-
ton and convenience.
