FOR JUVENILE CRIMES
Delaware Judge Sees Contempt
for Authority in Homes and
Soviet Tendencies.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


BALTIMORE, February Con
tempt for authority in the home, So
viet tendencies to eradicate teaching
OF all religion and even morals in
tho public school system and flaunt-
ing Of immortality and crimes in mo-
tion pictures were cited by Judge w.
S. Prickett of Wilmington, Del, as
among the causes of youthful crime.
Judge Prickett, who sits in the
Juvenile Court of Delaware, spoke
at conference on Christian educa-
tion here this week. held under aus
pices of the Presbyterian Board of
Christian Education.
Tho family abdicates to the
school, the community abdicates to
the State, the State abdicates to
Congress" the judge said. There
must be revival of responsibility
and authority all along the line If
our Christian, Anglo-Saxon civiliZa-
tion and the sacred institutions of
the home, the church, the rights Of
all, guaranteed and protected by law,
shall be maintained.
.'All records of criminoiogy show
that within the last five years the
average age at which major crimes
are committed has decreased by at
least three years. throwing the bulk
OF our major criminals into the teen
age, an age in which they still are
regarded in our good old-fa ashioned
tsrminology as legal infants"

SITE IN BURLE|TH
} ASKED FOR FIELD
Western Home and School
Group Unanimous for Pur-
chase of Area.

Members of the Western Home and
School Association. the faculty and stu
dent representatives of Western High
School, appeared before the committee
on athletics and Fairgrounds of the
Board Of Education at a public hearing
Yesterday afternoon In the Franklin
School and urged that the schools pro-
posed athletic field be located on site
in Burleith. bounded by S, Reservoir
and Thirty-eighth streets. and the al
ley In rear of Thirty ninth street. Un-
qualified opposition was voiced to a
site at Wisconsin avenue and street
containing $4,000 square feet, which
has been offered for a consideration Of
40 cents a square foot.
Duncan Bradley of the Western Home
and School Association headed the del
egation. and conducted the examination
of the numerous witnesses. Every one
told Of the undesirability of the Wis
consin avenue site, and pleaded for the
acquisition of the Burleith property,
even II condemnation proceedings are
necessary.
Greenwood Barred.
Ernest Greenwood, vice president OF
the board and a member of the COM
mittee on athletics and Fairgrounds,
was barred from sitting with the COM
rittee by Capt. Julius I. Peyser, chair
man, as the result of an objection by
Mr.. Bradley. Mr.. Greenwood acquiesced
agreeably. Mr.. Bradley's objection was
made on the ground that Mr. Green
wood was in favor Of the Wisconsin
avenue site.
Mr. Greenwood, however, declared
that he did not believe the Wisconsin
avenue tract worth the price OF grad
ing and was confident the Burleith
site was more suitable but could not
be purchased. The agent for the Wis
consin avenue property, he pointed out
has made his original offer more at
tractive by increasing the frontage on
Wisconsin avenue and reducing the
price from SO to 40 cents a square foot.
James Berrell, civil engineer testi-
fed that he had made a survey OF
both Of the proposed sites for the
athletic field, and found the Burleith
property more suitable.
Burieith site Closer.
Elmer S. Newton, principal of West
ern High School, and Miss Sue H.
Gardner, Miss C. Belle Meyers and
Daniel Ahearn. all members of the
schools faculty, argued that the Bur-
leigh site not only is more suitable,
but is closer TO the school.
Capt. Peyser refused to permit the
students to testify, although he did
allow Miss Lillian Rixey, president
of the girls "W" Club at the school,
to present the views of her organiza-
tion.
Throughout the hearing Capt. Peyser
frequently prevented Mr.. Bradley
from introducing testimony and quiz
zing witnesses on questions which he
ruled were irrevelant.

Smoke 'Scree1,
Ends Run, Race
By Cycle Police

A smoke screen. believed to have
had pepper and sawdust mixed in
with other binding elements, was
spurted into the faces of Motor
Cycle Policemen Helm and Potts
of the twelfth precinct during
their futile chase of liquor car
last night from the District line to
Second street and Rhode Island
avenue northeast.
The machine tore down Rhode
Island avenue at a speed of ap-
proximately 81 miles an hour,
throwing out thick cloud in it's
wake which badly affected the
eyes of the pursuing policemen.
They emptied revolvers at the car,
but were unable to stop its fight.
The last seen of the machine was
as 1t passed over the crest of the
hill at Second street and Rhode
Island avenue. At this point the
smoke screen appliance was cut
off and when the motor cycles of
the pursuers reached the top of
the hill the fugitive car was out Of
sight.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
FEk1NG, January 4.-The street
railway has become an actuality in
Peking after overcoming various
technical and financial difficulties, and
much opposition on the part of guilds

prise has at last been launched with
appropriate ceremonies, including the
cutting OF a gigantic cake and OFFICIAL
trolley parties in wonderfully bedeck-

Opposition to operation of the trans

hardship they would impose upon the
rieksha coolies through loss of fares.
The French promoters, however. ap-
pear to have known how to overcome
1t, and among other things have
promised TO build a factory wherein

acres were devoted to pasture crops.
Taxes.
Occasionally someone urges that
the county appropriation be with
drawn for county agent work as a
measure to reduce taxes. The truth is
that taxation will not be appreciably
support to county agent work. On
the basis of taxes levied in Redwood
County, a County appropriation of
$4,000 to county agent work means
slightly less than one-third of cent
per acre to the farmers of the county
out of cost of general taxes which
must approximate about $1.40 per
acre on the average. The average
farm in Redwood County consists OF
2O6 acres Then, if the general taxes
for all purposes amounts to $1.40 pei
acre, the average farmer pays total
of about 288 and out of this amount
he would pay approximately $0.6S
or 5000 to the county agent work.
This does not look like serious bur-
den to the farmer.
The total taxes levied for all pur-
poses in Redwood County in 1924
payable in 1925 amounts to $1,028,-
62O.96. Surely $4,000 annually or
just one cent out of every $5.14
levied is not too much to spend for
maintaining the county agent work
to promote the chief industry of the
county-namely the farming business.
Moreover, the cities and villages pay
approximately two-fifths of the taxes
levied in the county. They pay their
share of the cost Of cOuntv accent
service with little or no complaint.
In the main the county will advance
only as the farming business is i'm
proved and made more profitable. To
help do this is in a large measure
the work of the county agent. The
county agent work shows its value
