Bill |
SLATED TO BE
REWRITTEN

Apparently deeply impressed by
attacks made during the hearings
on certain phases Of the bill, the
subcommittee which concluded
taking of testimony on the Dis
trict Juvenile Court measure will
rewrite nearly the entire bill, 1t
was indicated today.
Representative Jack Nichols CD
Of Oklahoma, chairman Of the
District subcommittee handling
the measure, said today that, in
his opinion, there are numerous
alterations which must be made
to provide adequate safeguards.
He added, however, that he could
not say what other members Of
the subcommittee might have in
mind.
One change that the Okla
homan will insist on would make
it mandatory that jury trials be
permitted by the juvenile court
judge whenever the request is
made by defendant or his repre-
sentative.
He also Is convinced that the
court records should be opened
to counsel for the defendants,
newspapers and other interested
parties. However, Representative
Everett DirkSen (R) of Illinois,
the only other member of the
subcommittee who has attended
all Of the hearings, has indicated
that he believes the records
should be kept away from public
scrutiny as much as possible.
These were among the recon-
mendations urged during the
hearings yesterday by officers
Of the District Bar Association,
who bitterly criticized the man.

BOYS CLUBS ARE LAUDED

Development OF the Boys Clubs
Of the Metropolitan Police was the
motivating factor at two different
meetings held last night.
One was q dinner, held at the
Columbia County Club, where the
Right Rev. James e. Freeman,
bishop Of Washington, was the
principal speaker and where $2,525
was pledged to promote expansion
of the clubs.
The other meeting was at the
Northeast Boys Club, where mem
berS Of the executive council and
parents of members had a buffet
supper and discussed problems of
juvenile welfare.
Bishop Freeman, In his talk at
a banquet arranged by Commits
sioner Melvin C. HAGEN, declared
the gathering to be 1.-The most
epochal occasion" in all the years
he has spent in Washington. He
declared most activities against
crime start at the wrong end by
seeking to curb it after it exists.
It should be curbed at the begin
ming by such preventive agencies
as the boys clubs, he said.
Another speaker was Major
Ernest w. Brown. superintendent
of police, who spoke of the drive
for 1885, 900 to further the clubs

very much as I could hear Wills
walking about on the floor above
and was afraid he would begin to
shoot through the floor at us.
I knew Carr was seriously
wounded but could do nothing
about it.
Several attempts were made

with rifles. pistols and shot
guns, but to no avail.
Others Wounded
Three others, including C. Fay

Ray Mundy and Ward Bushong,
were wounded in attempting to
effect our rescue.
In the meantime Morris F.
Griever, chief of police at Char
1otteSville, Va, and a State
trooper, brought two machine
guns to the scene and began
firing into the house. Both
Wills and his sister, well armed,
answered the fire from upstairs
and down.
About 1890 p. m. State Trooper
James e. Kidd; his brother,
George E. Kidd, and another com.

lying under the corner of the
house and, making a dash for the
house in the face of gun fire
from Wills and his sister, were
able to reach us.
Officer Kidd and his two COM

placed Carr on their shoulders
and, while spectators kept up a
constant gunfire on the house,

only slightly wounded and was
able to make my way unassisted.
Fire Gains Headway
After Carr had been given first
aid treatment and started for the
hospital at Charlottesville, Va,
other members of the police force,
augmented by the aroused citizens,
began throwing blazing bundles of
oiled rags and paper at the rear Of
the house. 1t was finally set on
fire. !
AS the flames gained Roadway
Cora Wills thrust her head out of
the upstairs window and was shot
by one Of the persons gathered
about the house.
A short time later as the house
was practically all in flames Wills
appeared at window, but with

of bullets. In a few minutes he
opened the front door. Armed
with a rifle he made as if to come
out, but was not given chance.
He was shot down in the doorway.

Responsibilities.

DEAD ONES

How is it that certain towns are
called dead ones" while others ac
quire a reputation for a wide-awakt
spirit?
There isn't much to say about the
dead towns, except that nothing much
ever happens there. The people just
drone along in the same old way
year after year.
In the live town, people are con-
stantly asking what they can do to
make it better. Almost invariably
they have a good Chamber of Com
merce or other business organiza-
ton. They hold meetings to discuss
town problems, they debate how
trade can be enlarged, how more
residents and industries can be Sc
cured, and what public improve
ments within the community's finan-
cial ability should be provided. A
town where there is. the constant eff
fort for life and growth will never
be called dead one.
