Conditions Elsewhere.

In Brooklyn. the judge said, there are
eight probation officers for just about
the same number Of boys and girls on
probation as we have in Washington. in
addition to clerks and stenograp piers. In
every other city the proportion is about
the same, with Chicago leading, there
being more than 15O such officials there.
The primary duty Of the probation of
ficers is to visit the children placed on
probation, besides investigating the cases
and keeping records Of the progress of
the boys and girls under their charge.
With three probation officers, each with
13O to 10 children to look out for, it
Is q physical impossibility to visit each
child more than once in six weeks at the
utmost, the judge said. The average
of the visits, in order to gain any results
with the probationers. should be not less
than one q week, the judge said.
Judge Latimer. said he would do all in
his power to bring about the creation of
places for at least four more probation
officers, with clerks to keep the records
of the children under their charge.

Views Are Strengthened.

Judge Latimer said yesterday that he
had about decided on all these changes
before leaving on his inspection trip. but
said his views were greatly strengthened
by his experience. In no city, the Judge
said, did he find the children's court
meeting in the afternoon. The court
houses in each Of the ten cities he visited,
he said, were Infinitely superior to the
one in which Washington's court is
housed. the courthouse in Milwaukee
making the greatest impression on his
mind. The courthouse in that city is the
one taken as model by those who are
working for the establishment of a new
courthouse in this city. and combines the
detention home for the children with the
offices of the court and the courtroom.
The most appalling weakness Of the
juvenile court system in Washington,
Judge Latimer said, and the one which
showed the greatest contrast between
the local court and other courts, Is the
probation system. The judge quoted fig
ures to show the need of many more
probation officers in connection with
the Washington court.

WHEAT LOSES AN
EARLY ADVANCE
Corn Declines Sharply
Oats Also LOWer-COffee
Splits Price Changes.

On frost story from the winter wheat
belt prices i'm early dealings on the local
market took a sharp turn upward, and
at one time were at the highest point for
the last two months. Bulls were inclined
to give considerable weight to the weather
situation. but the appearance In lake
stocks of large amount of wheat which
apparently had been unacounted for
swelled the domestic stocks by more than
100000 bushels, and this was enough to
wipe out the early advance, leaving the
close net unchanged from Saturday. Good
weather over the corn belt caused heavy
increase In the movement, with the re-
suit that prices declined. the close show
ing net drop for the day of lsQlAc. Oats
held steady for time, but when corn
went down they followed, and lost &c.
Coffee traders appeared to be nervous
over technical conditions. and the sharp
advance of Saturday was thought TO have
been too rapid. This idea caused some
disposition to sell. but offerings were
small. and bulls became more aggressive.
While Brazilian cables indicated an ad-
vance. there was no anxiety to extend OPP
erations there. Tho close here was about

EXCHANGE ACTS ON
GOODRICH EPISODE
Companies Must Publish Prompt
Nv Dividends and Income
Bond Interest.

The action of the directors of the b. f.
Goodrich Company in delaying for about
five weeks making official announcement
Of the declaration of the dividend on the
preferred stock resulted In the committee
IN stock list Of the New York Stock En-
change taking steps yesterday TO prevent
such acts in the future. This committee
voted to amend the agreement" which
4contains the requirements for listing Sc
curities on the exchange by striking out
the sixth paragraph and inserting in lieu
thereof the following:
..To publish promptly to bond and share
holders the declaration of any dividend
ON shares, interest on income bonds and
allotment of rights for subscription to Sc
curities, with notice thereof TO the Stock
Exchange. and to give at least ten days
notice in advance Of the closing of the
transfer books or the taking Of record
of stockholders for any purpose"
The committee adopted a resolution
which provided that copies Of this addi-
,ional requirement be sent TO all the cor
poratons whose securities are listed on
the Stock Exchange, with a request that
they assent TO its provisions.
Paragraph of the agreement calls
on corporations to give at least ten days
notice In advance of the closing Of the
books or the taking OF a record Of stock
holders for any purpose. The closing
paragraph Of the old agreement" stated
that the committee recommended that a
date be fixed as record for dividends, al
lotnent OF rights and stockholders meet
t,gs without an extended closing OF the
transfer books.
