FIRST REPORT OF NEW
COURT IS INTERESTING
Judge j. Hogc Kicks. of Juvenile and
Domestic Relations Court, Gives
Accounts OF Last Years Work.
HELPFUL.
ELIMINATING TROUBLES
Young People and Old Have Been
Taken in Charge and Started Again
ON the Narrow Path, and Good
Advice Is Given to Erring Ones.

Many interesting facts are brough:
out In the first annual report OF the
Juvenile and domestic relations court,
which has just been prepared for the
year 1916 and Will be presented to the
city council for It's approval Alum
dant evidence Is given of the uniimit-
ed good done by this organization,
working as IT does in field not
touched upon in the jurisdiction Of
development Of the workings of the
!, institution which promises well for
the future.
James Hoge Kicks. Judge of the
courV, has been ably assisted during
the year by a stan which he is not
strained in giving great praise for
very efficient work. J. J. Scherer, il.
acts as subtustice. and Miss Eleanor
Mccarthy is acting clerk. The proha-
ton officers for juveniles include
Miss Sarah B. Roller and A. s Mac
Fariane. while the probation officers
for adults are B. E. Poitiaux. J. w.
wheaton and L. c. Tanner.
The total number OF juvenile cases
before the court during the year was
1.il2. and the adult cases were s9s.
There were 34s adults placed on proba-
ltion or suspended sentence. while the
huhuUCi VI coOJcCLGO 10 THIS
was a4s. The court collected 1880 25
In fines, 370Sbo IN restitution money,
and $35.162.b4 on non-support cases.
Grew Out Of Police Court.
The court is the successor to the
Juvenile division OF the police court,
and has jurisdiction in two general
| classes Of cases which were not
handled in police court, These cases
are those involving persons charged
with in-treatment. desertion or neglect
of their wives or children. and those
of persons charged with offenses
against or with contributing to the de-
/ linquency of children under the age of
I. eighteen years.
The officers OF the court make 1t a
| life work to see to the rightinE OF
wrongs involved in domestic affairs
whenever possible, and their means
of accomplishing most desired ends
are varied. Often they find a husband
has subjected his wife and family to
| indignities. and the woman shrinks
from the notoriety attendant upon
prosecution. We have found" the re-
port states. that the most deserving
class of women. who heretofore have
shrunk from the notoriety attendant
upon a proceeding under the old sys-
tenn. will now appeal to the law for
assistance. The young girl who has
been led astray by a designing man
now tells her story in the quiet Of q
secluded courtroom without the gaze

Berlin, Feb is.---Ippermost in the
minds of officials here today il the
question as 10 whether and when
Count Tarnowski Won Tarnow viii be
received at the White House to he
officially recognized as amhassa dor of
Austria Hungary to the United States
Interest in the Austro- American re
lations appears TO exceed in intensity
even that in the crisis between Ger.
many and the United State The
role which Count won Tarnowski is
playing promises to take unique
place in the annals of diplomacys his
tory. II was made the subject of coll
umns of speculation In the newspape
here.
New impetus TO the hope that the
Austro- Hungarian ambassadors esig-
nate will not be obliged to return to
Vienna was given by the news today
that Secretary Grew of the American
embassy here, has been transferred to
Vienna II is believed that this change
would not have been decided upon
were Washington actually resolved to
break with the dual monarchy.
The press here Is laying stress upon
the differences between the Austrian
relations with America and those OF
Germany. 1t IS pointed out particu-
larly that the tonnage of Austrian
ships now in American ports is small
and that Vienna. therefore. has moth
ing to fear on that score.
In this connection, il cannot be re-
peated too often that the whole re-
cent tension. the delay in Mr.. Gerard $
departure from Berlin and the deten-
ton of the Yarrowdale prisoners Were
due solely to the nationwide hys-
terra caused by the Reuter- dispatches
telling of alleged seizures of German
ships by the United states govern
ment.
ships In American Ports.
Germany has more than half mil
lion tons of shipping tied up in
American ports. Some of her proud
est ocean giants. like the Vaterland.
the biggest merchant ship ahoat, the
Amerika, and others. are at the mer-
cy Of Uncle Sam. Germany has had
some unpleasant experiences in this
war with German ships tied up in
foreign. ports. 1t will be recalled that
the seizure of German vessels by the
Portuguese government resulted in war
with Portugal. The bitterness that
marked the feeling of Germans at that
time cannot be exaggerated. But
while Portugals action was merely
regarded as high handed and die
