Youths Arrested
 For Trespassing,
 Fined By Court
Dangerous Habit of Hopping Moving Trains and Kick ing Off Coal Checked By Police Vigilance Warning Issued By Judge McGrath to Keep Youngsters Away From Railroad Tracks and Cars

costly act of youngsters boarding moving cars and "kicking" off tons of coal.
 Two of the accused seven youths, arraigned in court this morning, were identified as the most daring of the gang. They were fined $5 and costs each and placed on pro- bation for one year. Both are under 16 years of age. Sentence was sus- pended in the case of four others, ranginging ages from 13 to 16 years. Judge John F. McGrath, who presided, warned not only the &C., cused youngsters, but their parents that their next appearance in court on a similar charge would result in heavy fines. Charles Mazulis, IS, of 159 Washington avenue, Joseph Mario, 19, of Railroad Hill street and John Miglinas, IT, or 84 South Leonard street were the three old est of the group rounded up by railroad authorities and locan po- lice.
 One of the youngsters explained to the court how he managed to assist his pals in obtaining clean coal. He hoped a passing train and climbing on top of 6 coal convey or kicked off a generous portion of the load. The "black diamonds" fell along the tracks and the gang provided with bags would pick them up. As the coal IS heaped high on some of the cars it is an easy matter for youngster to sweep some of 1t to the ground.
 In trespassing on railroad prem ises the youngsters run a risk of being hit by passing trains. Hop ping moving trains is also viewed with some apprehension by the railroad officiale.
 It was stated in court today that so much coal has been stolen by the methods described that coal dealers are demanding that cars be re-weighed on arriving in the local yards.
 John N. Vrendenberg, 51 of 1913 Cooke street was arrested last even ing following a collision between his car and g. New England Trans portation bus on West Main street. Vrendenburg's case will be heard tomorrow. He Is charged with op- eratlng motor vehicle while under the alleged influence of liquor.

 The object of this London con- ference, MT Roosevelt and M. Her. riot agreed, must be to bring about a rapid revival of world activity and the raising of world prices by diminishing all sorts of impedi- ments to international commerce such as tariffs. quotas and ex- change restrictions, and by the re- establishment of normal financial and monetary situation"
 The statements revealed that the problems studied at the Franco American discussions were:
 l. War debts.
 2. Commercial policies to pro- mote international trade.

 4. Problems of unemployment, with discussion of public works programs in the various coun- tries.
