SAYS boy MUST WORK
TO FAVOR STEPEATHER
Application for Permit Re-
jected and Two Laws In
terpreted by Court.

Roger Wagner, the thirteen-year-old
son of Mrs Sarah Van Geuder, a resident
of Maryland, was refused a child labor
permit by Judge Callan in the Juvenile
Court yesterday afternoon. despite his
mothers plea that IF the boy did not
get job his stepfather would have to
go to work. The decision also involved
the new school tuition law, and is the
first to be passed on by the court.
When Mrs. Van Geuder asked for the
permit for the child she said:
His stepfather has two children of
his own, besides myself and his sister to
support. and If Roger does not get some
work to do, so he can support himself,
Mr.. Van Geuder will have to 20 to work
himself this winter" She explained that
her husband is a farmer, who rarely
works after the crops are harvested.
Attorney George Objects.
Assistant Corporation Counsel John M.
George Immediately called attention to
this statement, and held that no permit
could be granted while an able-bodied
man was at the head of the family
Mrs. Van Geuder said that since the
child was a stepson of her husbands. the
latter should not be expected to provide
for the boy. Judge Callan said that
when Van Geuder married the boys
mother he assumed responsibility for
him. Then Mrs. Van Geuder revealed
the fact that the family lived in Mary
land That changed the aspect of the
case, as the boy is not under the ju-
risdiction of the court. Mrs Van Geuder
said she intended to let the boy live
here In 1.-The working boys home" SO he
could be resident of the city, work
during the day and go to night school.
Would Still Be Ineligible.
NO. even then he would be an alien
here" the judge said. His legal resi-
dence is the residence of his parents
until he is of age. The law compelling
children under a certain age to go to
school is designed for Washington chill
dren, and we would have no authority
to compel this boy to attend school here

Two Small BIazes Saturday

A fire call turned in TO the Fire
Department from los south Santa Fe
avenue, the second haUd store OF,
Frank Jones, shortly afternoon Sat-
urday. A trash pile had been set FIRE
to by several boys who were playing
near there. The fire crept in under
the side of the building and beae
fair to become a dangerous blaze.
Only a short run was necessary from
the fire station and as soon as one or
two boards had been torn from the
wall the fire was easily eXtlnguished.
Hardly had the team reached the
fire barn when another alarm was
turned in, this time for the sixteenth
block on South Santa Fe. Here
the lots are all vacant ana grown up
in fairly high weeds. Boys who were
at The fire said that they saw some
other boys start trash fire in the
block. Tire fire spread but there was
no danger at any time Ul the hte
getting out of bounds as thele wac
not enough material to sustain a big
blaze. At neither fire was any watet
used or any hose laid.
