YOUTH TRIES TO
SHOOT UP COURT
Convicted Boy Robber Creates
a Panic in Washington.
FIRES THREE WILD SHOTS
Ray NJ. Stewart, 10 Years Old, Whips
Revolver From Pocket When
Refused Parole and Be-
gins Firing.

Washington. Quick and coura-
geous faction on the part Of Edward
Blaine, an employe OF the Agricul-
tural Department, undoubtedly pre-
vented repetition of the Hillsville
(Va.) court shooting here when Ray
M. Stewart, is years old, awaiting
sentence on a HOUSEKEEPING charge
in Criminal Court No. /, deliberately
leveled revolver and opened fusil-
lade, sweeping the entire courtroom.
Three shots were fired before the
boy was overpowered. BY that time
the courtroom, which only few min
utes before had been filled to its ca
pacity, was almost deserted
Al difference Of opinion seems to
prevail concerning just who were the
targets. Some persons contend that
the boy sought vengeance and was de-
termined to take 1t out on everyone
within hitting distance The general
opinion, however. is that the prisoner
was shooting at Policeman Arthur D.
Moffett, who sat in the witness box

termining factor in the boys convic-
ton.
At the first shot Justice s.. Stat
ford, who occupied the bench, disap-
peared beneath his desk, and out in
the courtroom there was a wild
scramble for places of safety. Some
sought refuge under tables or behind
heavy chairs, and others, frenzied by
fear, leaped into windows and drop
ped to the ground some IL or 20 feet
below.
Justice Stafford has just refused to
release Stewart on probation after
conviction. The boy whipped out q
S2-calibre automatic pistol and fired
three shots, two of which narrowly
missed Assistant United States Attor-
neys Samuel McComas Hawken and
Harvey Given and Policeman Moffet.
The prisoner was In the attitude Of
turning toward the Judge as if to
shoot, when a witness sprang upon
him and choked him into insensibil-
ity. Maurice A. Joyce, court at
tendant, rushed to Blaine's assistance
and wrenched the pistol from the boy.
In the confusion that followed
many thought that Justice Stafford
had been struck by bullet, but the
Judge emerged from his haven with
out scratch.

PRAISE FOR PRESS OF TODAY
English Lecturer Points Out How II
Is Superior to That of the
Past

Upon the news side there was no
question whatever of the infinite supe-
riority of the new journalism. 1t was
more alert, more efficient, it had to be
swifter, and he thought Lord North
cliffe would agreed that if tested it
would be found to be more accurate.
He denied the accusation Of sensation
alism, and said that the press, if it
were to be profitable to them, must be
a mirror, and if it were a clear mirror
it must reflect the whole of modern
life in its range Sensationalism was
compressed and avoided For every
sensation perpetrated by the modern
press, for every mischief it could be
accused of causing, for every incite-
ment to bad blood between nations,
they had twenty occasions in which
every journal of repute had avoided,
at the sacrifice Of sensationalism, the
things which might have led to those
results. In the new journalism, with
out any sacrifice of its incompatible
news efficiency, the last few years had
shown a most remarkable change and
he thought the most remarkable i'm
provement in the treatment of the

phone and the company's representa-

At the end of the next month anoth-

TOY MERRY-Go-RoUND.

This homemade mechanical toy
may be operated by a toy engine, an
electric motor, a water motor such as
was described several weeks ago, or
by means of a crank turned by hand.
The platform directly under the
horses may be of any size that you
wish to make it. That of the toy IL
Illustrated is 20 inches in diameter,
and is made of two pieces of board
10 inches wide CA, Fig. 81, Joined to-
gether at the center with the batten
B Gig. 81 A barrel head may be
used for the platform if you can find
one; this would save you the work of
cutting the circular pieces. A hole
must be bored through the center of
the platform for the tent center-pole
Ca piece of a broom-handle or cur
tain-pole. Fasten the center-pole in a
hole bored through the base board D

and IS inches long Cut notches E
in the ends, and fit the four wooden
pins G in holes bored at equal dis
tances from center-pole c. Cut pins

two inches above base D. The pur-
pose of these pins will be understood
later.
Board D sets upon another base
board CID, which is of the same
width as D but about one-half again
as long The two pieces are not fast
ened together, but the two nails F

First reproduce the squares upon

squares as guides it will be a simple
matter to copy the drawing very ex-
actly After drawing one horse, trace
the other seven from it. Put on the
markings with water7colors or cray
ons. Tack each horse to a strip of
wood similar to Gig. 81. Each
strip should have hole drilled
through it to fit a wooden axle (K),
and each axle should be slipped
through an upright Cd, which in turn
should be driven into hole bored in
the platform of the merry go-round.
The horses should be piyoted little
forward of the balancing point, as
shown in Fig. 9. Mount uprights L
at equal distances from the center
pole and at equal distances from each
other.
The horses are made to gallop by
