has been sitting in place of Judge De
Lacy, in Juvenile Court. for the past
week. In this he takes issue with the
latter, who believes 1t is the fathers
place, as head of the family, to inflict
corporal punishment.
Judge Callan remitted a IS fine on
ten-year-old Leo watkins yesterday on
condition that his mother takes him
home and give him a S. whipping. This
his mother gladly promised to do, say
ing that her activity in this regard had
probably saved her many a IS fine in
the past.
Leo. who lives in Burrville, D. c..
was delivering ice from a wagon at
the home of Mrs. Beulah Vintricque. of
Hillbrook, d. c., some days ago when
he espied a s14 bracelet in the house.
He was unable to resist the temptation
to take it. and confessed his guilt in

Railroad Magnates and

Points at Dispute.

1t was learned today that the series
of conferences now being held between
representatives of the railroads oper-
ating in the Southeastern section OF the
United States and representatives OF

Trainmen. with regard to a general
raise of wages on the Southwestern

held here in July.
The July conferences were not known
to the public. but the fact that they
were held was disclosed today by Val
Fitzpatrick, of Cleveland, Ohio, vice
way Trainmen, who, together with A.
B. Garrettson, of the International Or
der of Railway Conductors, is repre-
senting the workingmen in their de-
mands for higher wages.
The fact that the matter has now been
before the railway officials and the
labor unions for consideration Tor more
than a month, lends additional weight
to the report in which II was stated
that the AFFAIR is about to reach a
Mr. Fitzpatrick, in referring to The
Times story of yesterday, said that the
proposition of arbitratlng the diner
ences HAS not yet been discussed. He did
not say whether such a course, II suR-
gested. would be agreeable. He lnti-
mated further that the conferences may
be brought to an end within the next
two or three days, though he admitted
they might go on for several weeks. :,

said Mr.. Fitzpatrick when asked for a
statement as to what is being accom-
plished, 'is the employees want raise,
which we believe is Just, and we will
do whatever we can to get it."
A. B. Garrettson. president Of this
Order OF Railway Conductors, said sc
far nothing had ben accomplished and
that he could not say with any degree
of accuracy when the conferences are
likely to end.
Attempts were made TO interview off.

maritime and engineering circles by
the announced determination of the
government to appoint Royal Com
mission TO investigate the problems
associated with the future means OF
propelling warships. with special ref
erence tothe use OF oil. The chairman
of the commission will be Admiral Of
the Fleet Lord Fisher, formerly First
Lord Of the Admiralty.
1t is generally believed that the ap-
pointment of the commission is a
tact recognition that the future pro-
pellant OF warships will be oil instead
of coal, and the prophesled death
knell of the steam engine is. causing
some uneasiness.
In the days of sail propulsion the
British navy was supreme, for the
Britons we're excellent sailors, and
when steam supplanted canvas she
remained in the premier place because
the British engineers not only mas
tered the new power, but tie enoro-
mus coal reserves of the United King
dom gave her great advantage. But
with the advent of oil she loses sever
al of thse advantages
A new age is at hand when the
British nation will not have an adj
vantage over the other powers With
the exception of a small amount of
shale oil in Scotland the British isles
are without any apparent supplies of
the precious fluid.
In measure the coming of oil has
been prepared for better than the
coming of steam, for already at var
ious naval ports enormous oil tanks
have been erected and two immense
oil ships for service with the feet are
now being built, but the growth of the
internal combustion engine promises
to be SO rapid that the existing sources
Of supply for the British navy will
soon prove inadequate.
