JUVENILE COURT WORK.

It was a large docket that Judge
William s. Prickett. Of the Juvenile
Court, presided over Wednesday af-
ternoon. There were twelve cases for
his consideration.
In one case eighteen boys were in
volved, and the examination occupied
most of the afternoon. This was a
stone throwing case. in which num-
Der of white boys arrayed themselves
against a force of colored boys.
AS evidence showed that the color
ed boys were the aggressors in this
instance, Judge Prickett placed al
the colored boys on probation, while
the white boys were held for a month
to permit of further investigation.
There we're two cases Of assault
and battery. In one, the small boy
was dismissed, while the other was
placed on probation for one month.
The other case was continued two
weeks.
A case of disorderly conduct and
one of larceny of milk from doorsteps
were continued one month. The case
OF q young girl who was placed in a
home which is not entirely satisfac-
tory to the court, was continued one
month. A boy from the country
convicted Of driving a motor vehicle
without a license. had his case re-
tired for one month.
The case Of a dependent bov was
continued one month for further in
vestigation. The case OF a boy dis
charging firearms within the city linn
its was retired. In the cases Of thras
boys who broke their terms OF pro-
baton. one was continued for one
month, and the other two were con-
tinued on probation.
Eighteen boys we're released from
probation for good behavior. Theil
terms had run from three months tc
one year, and one boy had been OF
probation for two years.
Two boys. who we're in court, were
ordered to report Saturday afternoon
20 undergo a physical examination.

turned and beat back the Germans.
Petain was promoted 70 the general
division Just before the battle Of the
Marine. When he met the badly dis
organized Third corps at the Marne
he took command at once.
Sitting on his horse beside the
bridge, pistol In hand, he made every
man look up at him as the corps
marched past He did this to impres S
upon them that they must look up 10
him as the embodiment Of authority
Petain had been promoted TO the
| command of an army corps before he
took Carency and pierced the German
front By that masterful piece o
leadership he won the regard Of Com
mander-in-C Chief Joffre. After Peta n
smashed the Germans at Champagne
the French regarded him as the man
Of the day
So, when the crucial moment came
when the French republic was
threatened by the fall Of Verdun-
Gen. Joffre promptly placed Petain in
comand.
Behind a frigid exterior Petain has
warm heart, his soldiers and officers
testify. But he is first, last and all
the time a disciplinarian. He keeps
himself in splendid physical condi-
ton by fencing and riding.
He thinks and dreams battles, and
tells his officers they should do like
wise. He says officers should strive
more to become better tacticians, and
better fitted TO inspire patience, self
| sacrifice and tenacity in their men.

IE LEGAL SwASHBUCKLER.

THE LEGAL SWASHBUCKLER.
To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL
Sir;--It has been said repeatedly
that there are lawyers--and lawyers.
Through experience gained by at
tending sessions of the Federal Court
in this city. and listening TO the cross
examination Of witnesses for defense
in the dupont suit, am firmly con
vinced of the truth of the saying re-
ferred to above. There are lawyers
who are gentlemen, in court and out
of court, and who treat all men with
whom they come in contact with gen
tlemanly consideration. There are
other lawyers who. il they be gentle
men out of court, shed their gentility
as they approach the bar. and main
tain, especially toward witnesses,
manner that is at times insufferably
insulting They seem 10 think that.
by badgerlng, brow-beating and in
sulting a witness and endeavoring 70
twist his testimony, they are making
hit with the court or the jury, and
also impressing profoundly those men
and women who may be In the spec
tators seats They never seem to
stop to think that the average person
bestows courtesy, expects courtesy,
and admires courtesy, and has little
use for a person who is discourteous.
have witnessed many trials.
have watched the conduct of many
lawyers. My experience convinces
me that when a lawyer grossly In
suits a witness who has been turned
over to him for cross-examination, he
does Il in an effort to bolster up
weak case. He ceases TO be a lawyer
and sinks to the level Of being a pro-
| fess'onal bully against whom the pub
lie should have protection.
The time has arrived when the
bar association and the courts should
take legal swashbucklers in hand and
teach them that when a witness sub
mits himself to cross-examination he
does not forfeit his right to decent
treatment at the hands of his cross
examiner.
When a witness goes on the stand
he is put under oath to tell the truth.
As rule he knows the nature OF an
oath. and has due regard for its sol
emnity. He is honest and as respec-
table as the lawyer who confronts
him. And yet, in only too many in
stances; the lawyer, repling upon the
protection of the court for himself,
and not expecting that protection TO
be extended 10 the witness. begins
hectoring, badgering and insulting
By inference he brands him as a per-
jurer and does his utmost TO induce
him to change his sworn testimony
As a rule he even endeavors TO put
words In the mouth of witness and
does it unless his victim be wary and
quick witted
I If lawyers value their profession
they will take steps TO place a limit
upon the scope and nature OF cross
examination, and frown upon the legal
swashbuckler. no matter whether he
be a Delaware lawyer or one imported
from outside to do a particular bit OF
work for q Delaware. client. Those
who admit that cross-examination has
its uses. owe It to justice 10 save II
from abuse.
Yours truly,
OBSERVER.

Members Of the Board Of Health

noon. at which time Thomas E.
Peeney. of the Wilmington Sanitary
Company, discussed with the board
the present garbage collection, which
has caused thousands Of complaints.
The meeting was strictly clcsed
one even newspaper men being bar

s. c. Frederick, president OF the
hoard. issued the following state
ment:
"At a special meeting of the Board
of Health held this afternoon at the
offices. a representative Of thA WI
,nington Sanitary Company MT.
Penney. was summoned to appear
and was notified that this company
was not discharging properly the
terms of its contract for the collec-
tion of garbage with the city.
ssTbe terms Of the contract were
carefully gone over, and considered,
ond the points Of violation indicated
20 Mr. Peeney. The Wilmington SAM
ta,-v company was further notitec
that the law provided for colecl'o,,
of garbage by the city at the rate o,
fftv cents per call. to be oeuucleu
from the moneys due the SANTA
company. in the event OF its taii-
ure 10 make proper collection.
"The specifications, which are part
~ the contract, required collecuons
of garbage to be made over the en-
tire citv at periods of forty-eighI
hours during the summer months.
The CITY is protected in the event OF
failure on the part of the Sanitary
Company to discharge the contract

DR.. Frederick said that he was GLAD

terest in the question. as 1t was
vital one. With the excessive heal
of the past week, the non-collection o.
garbage, he said, was not conducive
10 the health of the city. The health
board, It was said, would mark time
for several days to see what the col
lection company planned to do.
The American Surety Company
which Is on the sanitary company'i

The Man at Verdur1!

When the history Of the worlds
greatest war is written. it will con-
stantly refer to the superman who
saved the faces of the allies-Gen.
Philippe Petainl
Every great war has produced one
great tactician, strategist, fighter,
Gen. Petain is all Of these.
Although he is hailed throughout the
world as The Man of verdun," little
is known Of the Commander-in-Ch Chief
at the scene Of the longest battle in
the history of the world.
There is a strange absence Of de
tails concerning him. This is ac-
counted for by the fact that Petain
has a deep-rooted horror Of adverts-
ing. When the war started he was
only a colonel OF infantry.
He probably would have been high
or in the service had he kowtowed to
the politicians. compromised his opin-
ion. attended the military balls and
courted publicity, but he didn't.
Here are a few facts about Petain:
He is 60 years of age. He appears
younger because of mental and ply.
sical vigor. He is tall, broad-shoul-
dered and has clear blue eyes which
look straight forward and beyond"
He is a bachelor. In times of peace
he was too busy preparing himself for
war to devote any time to social af-
fairs.
When the war started he was put in
command of a brigade in the First
Army Corps, though he still kept his
rank as colonel. His brigade distin-
guished itself in the retreat from
Charleroi to the Marne by the savage
ferocity with which 1t repeatedly
