CHICAGO TO GIVE BOYS
"a CHANCE IN. COURT

Chicago, March 27-A new court,
designed to fill gap between ex-
listing institutions, is to be Judge
Thomas F. Scully's attempt at So
luton of the boy problem. He viii!
call it the "boys' court" and expect:
to have it in operation within few
weeks when the municipal judges
give official sanction. Into the boys
court will be brought youngsters
between the ages of II and q years
The word youngsters" was used BY
Judge Scully, who said today:
"a boy under II years of age
can't vote and isn't recognized as a
man when it comes to exercising
judgment on candidates for alder
men. But let him commit some
petty crime and see what happens.
Because he is too old for the ju-
venile court he is classified as man
and is larraigned in the municipal
court with older offenders and re-
ceives the same. treatment. What /
propose to do is establish court
that will meet boy after he passes
out of short trousers and just before
he really becomes a man."
Ten, per cent of the offenders ar
raigned in municipal court are boys,
Judge Scully estimated today, and
more than 10000 lads who would
come within, the, jurisdiction of his
new court are tried in municipal court
every year.
"Just little touch of kindness is
what most of these boys need," said
Judge Scully. "Why, some of them
are only sick-sometimes sick in
body and. sometimes only sickened
by their environment. The other day
a municipal court judge sent IT,
year-old boy to the county Jail for
some offense. My brother-in-law is
physician over there and he told
me that the boy was sick-all he
needed was an operation and he
would be straight again."
Judge Scully has reputation for
leniency toward boys brought before
him.

era man down to the pier with in
structions to get on "a boat and
meet the Lusitania. He was unable
to get on the revenue cutter and had
about given up hope of ever getting
to Quarantine when he had happy
thought. There was the rival COM
pany's boat at anchor, why not test
their hospitality. He did.He explain
ed to his rivals jthat he had not
been able to get aboard the revenue
cutter.
81 wonder if you fellows would
mind letting me on your boat" he
began, "I won't bother you after we
reach Quarantine, and my added
weight certainly won't sink your
ship"
"Of course; come right aboard
was the reply received. "Glad to
have you. Sure, we'll take you down
the bay"
The boatless "movie" man was
taken down to the Lusitania by his
rivals, but when he got back he had
not soiled a film with the face of a
baseball player or even the imprint
of an ocean wave. He was raving,
storming mad.
After the "movie" boat was far
out in the bay the hosts calmly hid
their guests camera. There was no
possible way for him to get the pic
lures he was after and he simply
paced the deck and thought deep blue
thoughts while his rivals used up
yards of films. They had promised
to take him down the bay, but did
MT say what else they would do.
When the cameraless man again
reached shore he refused even to
say he had had nice trip or to
thank his hosts. /

New York, March 26.-All the
time they were talking about money
Not having as close an acquaint.
ance with the director of the mint as
some of those who are exuding huge
gobs of sentiment in the sport field
it is impossible to say here just how
much money there is in the world
| But most of it is surely being used
for other things than backing "soul-
less corporations or conducting wars
in Mexico.
/ With the U. S. treasury put to
shame by the Federal league in their
claims to wealth, the fight game has
kicked in with slight glitter to
match the baseball Midas flash.
Within span of two months, or by
Maytime, Willie Richie will have
hooked in $4,000. This amount will
represent just two fights. The light
weight champion received a paltry
$4,000 for going ten rounds with
Ad Wolgast in Milwaukee recently.
He has now accepted terms for an
other ten round tango with Jimmy
Duffy, Lockport lightweight, and is
to receive a guarantee of $4,000 for
that engagement. From where we sit
it is possible to add SIG and $40,
knowing that it makes s26; therefore
SIC, 1000 and $4,000 make $4,000.
AS just little side issue to the
money being circulated through
sports, Ad Wolgast received $4,000
for being licked by Ritchie at Mil
waukee.
The Federals are still talking mon-
ey in the baseball field and organized
baseball has put up slathers of coin
to keep stars from doing kangaroo
to the outlaws. At the rate talk of
dollars and cents has progressed in
the race for a place where hits and
fielding once roamed around, we may
expect something new in the run Of
baseball writing this season. For ms
tance the stories of game might
read:
"The batteries in today's game
were valued at $4,000, the two
pitchers drawing $4,000 each and
the catchers $12,5O0. Grabber, Sec
ond baseman, accepted ten chances
without an error, but Manager CONT
sky expressed his $4,000 opinion that
he might have taken care of lot
more and still not have injured his
glove which is insured for $4,000.
The game was broken up in the tenth
inning after SIS worth of balls had
been used and the umpire estimated
that the damage to his voice in argu-
ing with players was at least 80
cents. With two $4,000 men on the
bases and the 100000 infield of the
league leaders playing in close. Who
isit, recently from. the bushes, and
receiving only $1,000 year, surpros
ed everyone by pushing double out
of reach of $4,000 right fielder,
thereby scoring $4,000 worth of run
ners and ending the game. The re-
ceipts were," ETC., but you know the
rest.

MCENDIARIES ATTEMPT TO
BURN NEW YORK.
November Is.

Fifty years ago today an attempt to
burn New York City was made by a
band of incendiaries, acting under au-
thority of Jacob Thompson formerly
Secretary of the Interior in President
Buchanan's Cabinet, who was stationed
in Canada as a commissioner of the
Confederate government
Great loss of property, and perhaps
OF life, was averted, partly through de-
fective methods by which the fires were
started and partly by a watch kept on
some of the conspirators.
The plan embraced the firing Of hotels
and places Of amusement. Fires were
actually started in twelve hotels, includ-
ing the Astor House, the Fifth Ave
nue., the Hoffman, the Metropolitan and
the st. Nicholas, among the best known
houses in the city, and in seven others
Of less prominence, and also in three
places Of amusement.
The fires broke out simultaneously.
