CHILD COURT BILL
MAYBE ACTED0N
King Sees Possibility of
Conferees Getting Togeth-
er in Near Future.

chairman King OF the senate Dis
trict Committee indicated yesterday
there still is possibility House and
Senate conferees on the local Juvenile
Court bill will get together to iron out
differences over detailed features Of
the measure before the regular session
gets under way in January.
A definite date mas not yet been
fixed for the resumption OF delibera-
tons where they were left Of by the
adjournment Of the last session in
August. The bill, designed to bring
local Juvenile Court procedure into line
with modern practice elsewhere. passed
both branches at the last session, but
Congress was on the eve Of adjourn
ment when 1t reached conference
stage.
While there are Is Senate changes
from the House text to be considered,
some of them probably will be ad-
justed without difficulty. There are
four essential differences to be worked
out, according to supporters Of the
original measure
Senate Amendment,
One is the Senate amendment al
lowing the corporation counsel's office
instead of an investigating officer of
the court to decide, following prelim-
mary inquiry into a complaint, wheth-
er the court should take formal juris-
diction of child. The House bill
enabled the court officer making the
preliminary study Of the case to deter
mine whether further action should be
taken, such as formal Jurisdiction.
Proponents of the bill prefer the House
provision, in the belief that emphasis
should be placed on the needs of the
child.
Another is the Senate proviso to the
effect that nothing in the bill shall be
construed as authorizing removal Of
child from custody of his parents
unless his welfare and the safety and
protection of the public cannot be
adequately safeguarded without such
removal"
1t was pointed out yesterday that
the use of the word and" imposes the
double requisite of the child's welfare
and the safety Of the public before
custody could be changed. Support
ers of the bill believe "or" should be
used instead of and" pointing out
that cases might arise in which the
safety Of the public would not be in
volved, and yet q change of custody
would be deemed essential for the well
fare Of the child.
Provision for Jury Trial.
A third difference is how the pro-
vision for jury trials should be worded.
Both branches of Congress left the
way open for trial by jury, but the
House provided that trial would be
by the court unless jury was de-
manded by the child, parent or guard
ian. while the Senate stipulated the
trial would be conducted by the court
only when jury trial was expressly
waived.
Another point Of difference relates
to the problem Of proceeding against
adults charged with contributing to
the delinquency Of children. Propo-
nents Of the bill want this feature
drafted in terms that would enable
the authorities to proceed before it is
too late to prevent harm to the child.

Charles Bush, Pennsy Engineer,
Ends Half Century on Rails
Made First Five.HOur
Trip From, Ne,v York
to Washington.
BY JOHN J. DAILY,

Tonight at 1880 o'clock a fast flying
Pennsylvania Railroad train will pull
into Union Station after making
the 226-mile trip from New York to
Washington in 2l5 minutes. Charles
Richard Bush, the engineer. will step
down from the cab and bid good-by
to half a century of railroading, never
again to mount an engine seat, after
driving high-powered locomotives
more than 100000 miles over the
rails from this city to the metropolis.
Though his looks belle his age,
Charlie Bush tips the scales of time
at 10 years. He came to Washington
from North Carolina as a l9-year-old
boy. entered the employ Of the Pennsy
as brakeman and has been at 1t
ever since-five years through brake
manship, firemanship and then IS
years at the throttle and controls of
the fastest arains that ply the busiest
branch of the road-trom Washing
ton to New York
In those so years Charlie Bush has
seen railroading grow from a mere
pup to a giant mastiff, with trains
making the distance from Washing
ton to New York in the record time
of 3 hours and IS minutes hours
and ~ minutes permitted for the
running time, minutes lay-over for
the five stops.
Man and boy, I've seen great de-
velopments in the railroad business"
Mr.. Bush said yesterday at his home,
922 F street NE. I've seen the en-
tire signal system change When
was a brakeman they had only the
old blade system working. and now
the block system has reached the
nth power of development"
Furthermore, Mr. Bush has seen the
running time between Washington
and New York cut down from 6 hours
at the turn of the century to less than
four hours today for the standard run.
Mr.. Bush has been at the throttle
Of the Congressional Limited, crack
train of the Pennsy, for many years.
He was the first man to run this train
from Washington to New York in five
hours fiat That was back in 1900.
Nowadays that is considered slow
time, but he recalls the day when
eight hours for the same journey
would have been considered nothing
short of a miracle.
Mr.. Bush got his start here shortly
after the reign of Boss" Shepherd,
first Mayor Of Washington, and he

Pvt. Birch was ordered to the hos

extremely frank. Diplomats declared

extremely frank. Diplomats declared
here openly that the German govern
ment was angry at President Roose-
velt's' statement and two days after
1t jumped at the first occasion to
attack the American Government on
account OF a report which said that a
big arms deal was concluded by the
SoWets in the United States. The
American Government was immedi-
ately rendered responsible for 1t, and
1t was taken to indicate that Amer
ica was lining up Russia against
Japan and eventually against Ger
many. This made the cup OF German
indignation overflow. German SYM
pathy with Japan came to the sur
face, or perhaps it was considered
a good diplomatic move.
It Is still dificult to guess at
present what Germany's further re-
action will be, but since it is feared
here that Russia may be used against
Japan, the German government will
be inclined to come forth on Japan's
side more definitely than before. An
exchange Of views will naturally take
place between Berlin and Rome on
the matter, and it can be taken
for granted that neither Rome nor
Berlin will give any help whatever
for any diplomatic initiative regard
ing the Far East.
1t can be said briefly that Presi-
dent Roosevelts speech has contrib
uted toward widening the gap between
the European blocs Of democracies and
the nationalist relationships at a
moment when Great Britain was
doing her utmost to make the gap
narrower.

Duty Seen On All Nations.
The United States is represented
particularly as feeling that the resto-
ration Of peace in the Far East is the
concern of the community of nations
as whole and that no single group
of men-even those with special inter-
ests in that area-should shoulder the
admittedly difficult burden of deciding
upon and executing compulsory meas
ures to achieve it.
This view Is understood to be shared
by so many others among the nine
power treaty adherents that the con-
ference is considered virtually certain
to refer the whole question back to
the League If it fails to bring about
peace by agreement"
Responsible sources say this is logi-
cally to be expected If for no other
reason than that the nine-power
treaty contains no provision for the
application of penalties against a con-
