Van. the old Armenian city In eastern
Turkey, has descrincd tho conditions
whiuh prevailed In the Christian parts
OF the Moslem empire during the recent
revolt OF the Armcnians against con-

1000 and 10000 refugees were crowded
in the mission grounds and the houses
barricaded against shot and shell, while
a few fighting men held off the Turkish
troops until the Russian army arrived
and rescued them. The story OF the
siege is told In the following extracts
from the letters which have reached

CHARGE BOY WITH CRIME COMMITTED WHILE
! HE WAS IN COURT-JUDGE SCORES POLICE

Ill WAC LIN NUN y
The only reason George Fay, 1146
w. Congress ST., isn't lying down in
a filthy cell in the Desplaines street
station without booking, charged
with a crime alleged to have been
committed at a time when George
was being tried on another charge, is
because Judge Harry N. Fisher of
the boys court ordered the boy pro-
duced in court.
This is Fay's- third arrest this
week for nothing. The first time he
came into the boys court was Mon
day and there was no evidence
against him, so he was dismissed.
Wednesday he was hauled into
court again on disorderly conduct
charge, and again there was no evil
dence against him, and again he was
dismissed, and Probation Officer Kel--
ly of the court got the boy job to
begin work Monday
This morning the clerk called:
George Fay" and the lad and a
plain clothes officer from Desplaines
street station stood before the bench.
What did you arrest this boy for
this time?" asked the Judge.
There was a robbery at 331 S.
Racine av. on Wednesday, between
II and II in the morning and some
glass was broken and everything"
said the officer, "and we found this
book there was Fay's name in it, so
we arrested him.
We knew he was before me at
that hour on Wednesday," asked the
judge.
Yes, but we found the book there
with his name in it, so we took him
in to investigate"
"This boy has been before me-
three times in a week and each time
for nothing" Judge Fisher ex-|
claimed. Where are you going to

out that he was arrested and hadn't
called up the station and insisted
that he be produced before me inn
mediately there is no telling how
long you would have kept him locked
up without booking, since you had
not booked him when l called up the
station this morning."
The officer made an attempt to JUS
tify himself to Asst States Atty
Barry.
There's no excuse for this" Bar
ry retorted. This kind of thing will
drive the boy to the bad. You could
have found out in less than 25 min
utes that he had no connection with
that crime, since he was here in
court This is three times in week.
1t looks very queer"
at isn't much wonder that some
boys go to the dogs" the judge de-
clared. This sort of thing would
drive them there. This boy is dis
missed for the third time this week
and l would advise that he isn't
picked up again when he is guilty of
no crime"

posture when the Austrians RACED
whole villages to clear the range for
their guns. Majority of the refugees
are Belgians. $500,

Highspire Church Plans
Big Park For Recreation

Through the generosity of the of
fetal board OF the Highspire Church of
God the borough will soon have pretty
park where picnics may be held and
various forms of recreation may be fol-
lowed.
Within few days workmen will be-
gin to grade and plant tract of more
than an acre of ground in the rear of
the church. This tract was once used
as a burial ground and a few graves
still remain on the plot. These will be
undisturbed
Winding walks and a number of ten
mis- courts will be constructed on the
tract. 1t is likely that the public will
be asked to help carry out the improve
ments which will be made by volunteer
workmen.
