This is the third and concluding
article of a series discussing
drenddtory Juueniie Court IeniSld-
tton-1chy it is favored and why
opposed.
As in all movements for reform Of
an institution, compromise school
exists in the controversy over a Ju-
venile Court law for the District.
In brief, this group would adopt the
plan of social procedure advocated by
those now seeking a new law, but it
would be invested in some other
agency than the Juvenile Court il
self The court then would continue
as a court of law.
The present District law, they
admit, is inadequate from several
standpoints. first of them being the
actual craftsmanship of the statue.
Originally enacted in 1906, it has be-
come a hodge-podge Of amendments,
additions, conflicts and confusing ref
erences. In many respects it is obso-
lete.
To similar degree, however, they
criticize the proposed social court"
to the extent of declaring it uncOn-
stitutional in its contemplated re-
moval of legal rights from those who
would be brought before it. They
refer to constitutional guarantees Of
representation Dy counsel. trial by
jury and the statutory projections OF
the individual which have been es-
tablished through the years Of de-
velopment of the present court struc-
ture.
Fear Menace TO Fairness.
| Further, they attack the theory OF
I investing the court with the executive
power of directing inquiries and sift-
! ing cases TO decide which should nor
| should not be brought in for further
action Such a system, they claim,
would result in prejudgment Of most
cases, might preclude the chances Of
a fair hearing before commitment TO
an institution is directed.
AS an alternative. it is proposed
that an agency independent Of the
court exercise jurisdiction over chill
dren to the extent VI directing all
investigations and establishing super
vision and probationary guidance over
cases. In instances where this treat
ment is found not adequate, cases
would be prepared on legal grounds
and brought before the court for
disposition.
In its practical application to the
District, it was pointed out, the ma
chinery Of the public welfare system
could be expanded to embrace more
complete family investigating unit. In
cooperation with the Office Of the
corporation counsel, such unit could
become an effective social agency. In
instances where its advisory function
is found ineffective. the force of
court would be in the background.
Claim Best Retained.
In its operation, however, this court
would follow accepted legal procedure
with any individual brought before it
having recourse to right of counsel,
trial by jury and appeal. Through
this division Of responsibility and
maintenance Of legal right, pro-
/ ponents of the compromise plan con-
tend that the possibility Of autocracy
Of power is checked. the constitutions
ality of the court is beyond question
and society and the individual each
| are served.
1t improves the present procedure.
! they maintain, in widening the juris-
diction of social agency which is or
can be equipped to exercise a function
of social responsibility. At the same
time it simplifieS and clarifies the au-
thority of the court.

SENDER Of BOMB
TEMPTED SUICIDE
MisSive Was Wired to Fire
Before Being Mailed to
Senator Long.

The man who sent a bomb" TO
Senator Huey Long yesterday was toy
ing with suicide instead Of murder
unless. of course, it was all a joke.
For he had connected "detonation'
wires from a dry cell battery direct
to the explosive" before he wrapped
the internal contraption and sd-
dressed it to the Senator.
This completion of the circuit is
usually left to a secret spring released
when the package is unwrappef. Had
the shattered, connected bottle
in the parcel contained an explosive,
it would have gone boom" before
leaving the sender's hands.
Postmarked Medford. Greg.
Experts disclosed this today after
a minute examination Of all clues
in the case. The package, which
threw Longs Office force into con-
fusion when opened by his secretary,
Earle Christenberry, was postmarked
Medford. Greg.
Bits of the Medford Daily Tribune
of February were wrapped about
the broken bottle, which apparently
had been shattered in the mails.
There also were four paper-wrapped
sticks of spent matches.
On the paper were mysterious In
scriptions which we're turned over to
War Department interpreters. Longs
Office later was informed the message
contained Greek, Turkish and Yiddish
words, translated as follows:
Quit stslling around and send
moor ar. In my opinion now is the
time to strike. Send ar. here instead
of Portland. Less danger suspicion.
"(Signed) MIFN."
Substance Not Identified.
Fragments of the bottle were
examined by Agriculture Department
chemists, who learned that nitro
glycerine was not present, although
they could not identify the substance
spilled from the bottle.
Senator Long was in New York when
the package was received. He tele-
phoned his secretary to give him a
full description of the bomb"
The package was returned to the
Post Office Department where inspec-
tors sought clues to the identity of the
sender.

Mail Six Years Late.

COLBY. Wis. CP.-Mrs. H. L
Welsch admitted today the mail serv-

complaining. Six years after it was
mailed from Minneapolis, a letter
reached Mrs. Welsch here, 240 miles
from the sending point. Postmarked
February, 1929, the letter contained a
check representing money won in a

were known. they had some jittery
moments themselves, but it is all
ever now.
Another Self-Defense Move.
Signor Mussolini is not sending all
those troops down to the Ethiopian
border just to get sunburned.
You may have noticed he is very
vague about the exact number sent.
Also about what he expects them to
Go when they get there. One Amer
lean newsman in Rome already has
been warned officially about overesti-
mating. There are other obvious
indications that II Duce has clamped
down the lid
Some fine morning about five weeks
from now you will probably awaken
to find that the troops who embarked
from Rome few days ago have found
it necessary to move from Italian
Somaliland into the central mountains
in Ethiopia near the French railway.
Those are excellent mountains.
They are particularly ercellent
from the standpoint OF Italian
colonization. The climate is ideal,
temperate VI uI LtHIeS, una Tue
soil the richest in Africa for cultt-
pation purposes. Furthermore. the
mountains hold hidden mineral
deposits, Which are 1Uditing for
some one to dig them out Such an
inudSion of Ethiopia ,Could be in
Selt-detense, OF course, possibly
something like the Self-detenSe
which required Japan to seize
Mdnchoukuo to safe itself from
China.
At least this is the Ethiopian in
the Mussolini woodpile, as discerned
by the best Washington diplomatic
sources On the basis of their private
advices from European capitals, in
cluding Rome. They may be wrong
but they do not think SO.

ELKTON BREAKING ALL MAR
RAGE RECORDS

Elkton's host of altar-bound cou-
pies gets larger day by day.
From a mere 30S couples last
January, the monthly total swelled to
$40 in November, an all-time high
monthly record for this gretna green
of only $500 population. Town Off
Gals feel that Pennsylvania new
and strict marriage license laws had
much to do with the increase.
The total for the first IL months
of this year was 6625. The 1884
total was only slightly more than
5000 and the total for 1885 is ex-
pected to go we'll beyond the 1000
mark.
The monthly totals for this year
are: January, sos; February, $50;
March, 437; April, 469; May, 537;
June, 1877; July, 1858; August, 77S;
September, 6S4; October, III; No

Suit Against Board Of
Education
Calvert School Patron Refuses
To Send Children To Zion

Eugene England, of near Zion, has
filed a suit against the Cecil County
Board of Education, Dr. T. B. Moore,
Fred Lewis and j. E. Crothers. The
papers were filed by e. Kirk Brown,
attorney for Mr.. England, COM
plainant.
In his bill of complaint Mr.. Eng
land states he is a resident of the
Ninth district and taxpayer; that his
two daughters, Sarah, age 10 and
Jean, age Z years, have been attend
ing the public schools at Calvert;
that on October II of this year, the
defendants and especially defendant
j. e. Crothers, did wrongfully and
without authority order the teachers
at the said school not to teach the
children of Mr.. England's any longer,
so that while attending said school
from the date above, on each school
day, neither of the children have
been allowed to take part in any of
the sessions of the school or have
they received any instruction from
the teachers.
The Orator further asks that
Crothers. Moore and Lewis. compris-
ing the School Board, may by in
junction be restrained from interfer-
ing with the teachers of the calvert
School in instructing the children of
Mr.. England.
Following the destruction of the
Calvert school building by fire on
Monday morning, Sept. 80, plans
were made for instruction of chill
dren of that section. In order to
relieve the crowded condition at
Rosebank Hall, where the primary
grades were to be taught, number
of pupils were instructed to attend
other schools, nearest their homes
Commissioner Crothers stated that
the Zion school was the nearest for
the England children, hence they
were instructed to attend that
school, This evidently was not the
desire of Mr.. England
