THIS LITTLE YOUNGSTER KNEW THE ANSWER
TO ANOTHER TRIP TO PARENTAL SCHOOL

~ A1NO4 1AAXN MI
Joseph Bennes is only IS, but he
gave a decisive answer to a prob
lem to which 81 social workers did
not apparently know the correct an
swer two days ago when Judge Mer-
rift w. Pinckney, judge of the juve-
nile court, made an impassioned ap-
peal for more institutions in which
to confne juvenile delinquents that
they might be made into good citi-
zens, and excoriorated the taking
away of the John Worthy Institute
for Boys, the while the social work.
ers nodded approval and applauded.
Joseph Bennes doesn't understand
sociology, nor the scientific manner
in which social workers decide what
is best for delinquents and for So
ciety.
But Joseph knows what the So
cial workers don't know = what it
means to be detained in an institu-
ton in which he is to be made
good citizen"
And as a result of that knowledge,
Joseph is right in the shadow of
death today, for he sought death as
a preferable shelter to the institu-
ton to which he feared he was to be
returned in. order that he might be
made a good citizen.
In years Joseph is a baby, but he
has already spent six months in the
Chicago Parental school That is
why his answer to the question Of
the efficacy of institutions is good
one.
Three months ago his father died
and Joseph wandered around the
streets with other children of his age,
trying to forget the ache of lonei-
ness in his heart.
Six weeks ago Miss Edna Harris,
a piano player in the Overland the
alter, 1853 W. 18th st., lost her purse. |
Joseph and two other boys were |
there and on Miss Harris complaint |

pear before Judge Pinckney in the
juvenile court this morning.
Joseph said little, but afterward
his aunt remembered that he had
looked peculiar"
"Do you think they'll send me
away" he asked slowly.
81 don't know what they will do
to you, but you've been sent away
before, so they may" was the
answer.
Joseph left the room and went into
the bathroom and closed the door.
He had two pictures. One was of
a parental home in which boys are
made into good citizens" The other
was of his father, who died three
months ago.
On the shelf in the bathroom there
were two bottles he thought con-
tanned poison. There was skull and
bones on one of the bottles, but there
were two pictures that Joseph was
seeing.
He pulled the stopper out of the
bottle of muriatic acid and drank,
and, even as he suffered the burning
torture, he pulled the cork from
the. second bottle, peroxide, and
drank of that.
They found him unconscious on
the bathroom floor and he was re-
vived in an ambulance. He looked
at the policeman.
81 don't want to go to the Parental
school," he said, with difficulty. 81
was there six months last year and
l don't want to go back" Then he
twisted his boy mouth into a smile.
81 want to be with my father" he
said. Hes dead"
He may not recover.

Generally a strong market, but a
little bit spotted in that it is strong

description of the stock market given
this morning before the session Of
the exchange had been held. -
Pioneer and Oahu at that time APP
peared to be closely held, while Waia-
lua and Eva were more freely offered
than yesterday. Olaa and McBryde
were still commanding considerable
attention and were quoted at yester-
days prices, 21% and 14A respec-
lively.
There appeared to be nothing new
in the way of developments as to any
of the stocks and even rumor had
little new to offer, but the strength
was there in the sugars. Mainland
copper stocks were reported as not so
strong, the weakening tendency re.
sultEng from a decline from top price
of the metal. the last quotation re-
ceived here being 20 cents on Mon
day.
1t was after the session that the
suit in ejectment by the Bishop estate
against the Waialua Company. men
toned in another column of today's
Star-Bulletin. was filed. Some re-
ports that suit was to be filed were
considered responsible for the free Of
fering of the stock of the company.
Before the session on comparatively
small transactions it sold down to
37A, a decline of y from yesterdays

Oahu rose to 4OA and Pioneer was
steady at yesterdays highest, 5313.~
There was a considerable falling off
from yesterday in the volume of trans
actions, the total number of shares
dealt in being 1886.
