tions that Mrs. Dorothy H. Dorsey
who conducts the Dorsey Concert Bu-
reau and is sponsoring the appear
ance, will submit to arrest and take
the case to higher court if convicted
in Juveniue Court, where such viola
tions are tried.
Both the corporation counsel and
school officials are agreed that the
appearance of the child here would be
illegal. They have disagreed sharply
on matters of Interpretation Of the
statute, however, and welcome test
nately the legal principals governing
application of the law. y
Formal notice that the child would

scheduled date was contained in the
music section Of the newspapers last

PETITION IS FILED
To SAVE HARRIS
Prominent Persons Appeal
in Behalf of Convicted
Henry Slayer.

A petition signed by a number Of
prominent citizens was filed today
with the Justice Department in be-
half of Charles Harris, sentenced to
die on January IL for the staying
Of Milton w. "Milsie" Henry, Wash
ington gambler.
Neil Burkinshaw, counsel for Har-
ris, said that in spite of protests
from friends of Harris, it will not
60 directly to President Roosevelt.
Instead, the petition Is being filed
with James A. Linch, Justice De-
partment pardon attorney, so that
Attorney General Cummings may pass
on 1t before making any recon-
mendation to Mr.. Roosevelt.
Evidence Declared Circumstantial.
The petition sets out that Harris
was convicted on circumstantial evi-
dence and that there still remains
reasonable doubt" that he Is the
man who killed Henry in the spec
tacular murder of April, 1892.
Charles Edward Russell, we'll known
writer, who is credited with having
written the now famous Darrow re-
ports, is heading the group of persons
interested in saving the life of the
condemned man. Russell said: I'VE
do not believe this boy had anything
to do with killing Henry. The only
person who said he did admits he saw
him from long distance"
President Gets Letters.
According to Justice Department
routine, the petition probably will not
reach the Attorney General until to-
morrow, and probably will not reach
the White House until Saturday.
The President, meanwhile, said yes
terday he had received a number of
letters requesting his intercession for
Harris, but he had not received any
petition for him.

make test case of it.
A. A. A. Pledges Defense.
If he wants to 60 to court, Ernest
N. Smith. executive vice president of
the American Automobile Association,
says his organization will defend the
doctor in the public interest
There are sufficient serious situ-
atoms as regarding traffic enforcement
in this city today without police per-
sonnel frittering away their time in
such ridiculous adventures as ticket
ing a physician for parking his own
car on his own lawn when he has no
adjoining place in which to put it
and must have his car available for
life or death emergency at any
moment" Smith said
1T seems to me a warning would
have been sufficient. Even if there
had been a technical violation, it
seems to me the rule of common sense
should prevail. There has been much
talk and agreement on the urgent
need for selective enforcement-mean
ing concentration by the police on
reckless, criminal and habitual viola
tors. This incident, it seems to me, is
at the opposite pole from the idea Of
such concentration"

HEAVIER LARCENY
PENALTIES URGED
U. S. Attorney Garnett Asks
Maximum of Is Years to
Curb Crime.

In an effort to facilitate the prosecu-
ton of minor offenses, United States
Attorney Leslie c. Garnett today
recommended enactment Of legislation
fixing the grand larceny minimum at
$75 and increasing the maximum pen
atty to IS years.
Garnett points out in a letter to
Corporation Counsel E. Barrett Pretty
man that in numerous cases Of grand
larceny presented to grand juries in
dictments had been refused because
of the insignificant value Of property
involved. He stated that such cases
should be handled In Police Court.
The present statute fixes the grand
larceny limit at s35 and the maximum
penalty at 10 years.
