q new Juvenile Court structure, and
asked what is the matter with the
present law Mr.. Strasburger ex-
planned that the substantive legisla
ton merely transferred jurisdiction
from the Police Court to an inferior
court. whereas those interested in or
ganizing a proper Juvenile Court are
not 50 much concerned in different
court as in the different methods Of
procedure. The Juvenile Court to-
day. he said. is merely an arm OF the

Character Of Onenses.

Mr. Strasburger also pointed out
that this bill makes clearer definition
Of the character of offenses on which
a child is brought before the court.
In order to safeguard in unusual
cases where q child might be guilty
OF a serious offense, there is a provi-
sion in the bill that the district at
torney. with agreement Of the Su-
preme Court. may have such special
cases transferred from the Juvenile
Court for a grand jury trial.
Representative Houston of Delaware
emphasized that nothing should inter
fere with general jurisdiction by the
higher court and with the jury or petit
jury trials. He said he would hesitate
to vest too much authority in the Juve-
nile Court on account of his own eN-
perience as assistant attorney general
of Della ware.
Mr.. Stra shurger emphasized that
here in Washington the Judge of the
Juvenile Court is appointed by the
President. by and with the consent of
the Senate, and that very high grade
selection L. made.

Sympathetic consideration was given
today to the Zihlman Juvenile Court
bill, which is sponsored by the Public
Welfare Conference of the District OF
Columbia, before the judiciary sub
committee Of the House District COM
mittee, with Representative Clarence
j. Mcleod of Michigan presiding. Mil

the Public Welfare Conference, who is
the public welfare conference, who is
also member of the Board Of Chill

quest of Justice Siddons. chairman Of
the Public Welfare Conference. Mrs.
Louis Gutenberg. representing the
Monday Evening Club, and Mrs. Nina

the Policewomen's Bureau, We're the
witnesses in support of this measure.
J. w. Sanford clerk Of the Juve-
nile Court and director of the proba-
ton department. also appeared, but
at the request of REPRESENTATIVE
Ralph Gilbert. Democrat. Kentucky,
his testimony was deferred until the
hearing Is continued at the call OF
the chairman. Mrs. Van Wrinkle
and representative of a number of
local orga niZations asked TO be heard
further on this measure.
Status of Children.
Mr.. Strasburger empha sized that
this reform measure for the Juvenile
Court is principally urged in order
that the child may not be brought
Into the court as Il criminal but as a
ward of the court. The three princi-
pal changes proposed by TIE measure
are to give the Juvenile Coutr equity
jurisdiction instead of criminal juris
diction, which is in harmony with
modern juvenile court practice.
A second important change is the
proposal TO increase the jurisdiction
Of the Juvenile Court over children
UP to IS years Of age instead of !.
years. az at present. Mr.. Mcleod
advocated increasing the age to 19
years. and Mrs. Van Wrinkle said that
she would be glad to see it increased
