JUVENILE COURT
CODE CONFEREES
MAKE PROGRESS
Details of Any Tentative
Agreements Not Revealed,
However.
ONE CHIEF DIFFERENCE
STILL is UNSOLVED
Nevertheless, Final Result Is
Hoped for Late Today or
Tomorrow.

Conferees made progress today to-
ward settlement Of House and Senate
differences over the proposed new
Juvenile Court code for the District.
with indications a final agreement
may be reached this afternoon or
tomorrow.
Chairman King of the Senate Dis.
trlct Committee, who called the con-
ference, indicated that a complete
agreement awaits the views Of two
conferees who could not be present
at the meeting, Senators Tydings Of
Maryland and Austin of Vermont.
The main purpose of the measure
is to bring the handling of children's
cases here into line with modern prac-
tice in the States by minimizing the
criminal nature of the proceedings
and placing emphasis on the welfare
OF the child rather than punishment.
No Details Revealed.
Although the conferees did not
announce details of the tentative
agreements understood TO have been
worked out, it was reported that one
of the principal differences, over the
degree of jurisdiction between the
corporation counsel and the court
agent in handling preliminary inves-
legations, is still under consideration.
The House bill authorized an off,
Ger of the court to determine, after
preliminary inquiry, whether the in
terests Of the public or of child re-
quired the court to take jurisdiction
Of complaint. The Senate bill d.
rected the assistant corporation coun-
sci assigned to the court to determine
jurisdiction.
Another difference has been whether
jury trials should be regarded as
waived unless demanded, or required
unless specifically waived.
Senate Put in Proviso.
The Senate also wrote into the bill
a proviso that the new code shall not
be construed as authorizing the re.
moval Of child from CUSTODY of his
or her parents unless the childs well
fare and the protection of the public
cannot be adequately safeguarded
without such removal.
The question of improving the Juve-
nile Court law of the District has
been under discussion from time to
time since 1914. The present law was
enacted in 1906. In 1914 a commit.
tee was appointed on recommendation
OF former President Taft. A bill was
drafted and passed both branches of
Congress. but died in conference. An
otner attempt was made in 1923,
without success. The pending bill
also has been under consideration for
number of years. 1t seeks to change
the court from criminal to a chan
cery tribunal.

UNDERPASS FIGHT
Will BE Renewed
Utilities Commission Will Urge
Consider Circle Plan at
Next Session.

Members of the Public Utilities
Commission will renew their recon-
mendations for construction of q
street car and vehicular underpass for
Dupont Circle for consideration of
Congress at the next session, they
said today.
The proposed appropriation for the
project was eliminated from the Dis
trict's 1899 supply act, but Commission
Chairman Riley E. Elgen predicted
today the plan would be revived in
connection with the 1910 fiscal year
estimate.
Discussion Of the subject at the
District Building recalled that the
Utilities Commission nearly two years
ago directed that tracks for north
bound street cars on Connecticut
avenue be laid around the eastern side
Of Dupont Circle. These tracks now
are on the western side of the circle,
causing the cars to run counter to
the flow of vehicular traffic.
Commissioners Elgen and Richmond
B. Keech agreed that the order should
continue to be held In abeyance be-

Theater.

CAPTURED after wild chase through
the downtown section. the father of a
week-old son was being held today for
allegedly robblng the Keith's Theater

The man, a 26-year-old barber, was
taken into custody few blocks from
the theater, after being tackled by
Pat Boyles, 933 H street, a printer,
who held him until a policeman ar
rived.
The theft was committed few mo-
ments after Mrs. Mary Langley, the
ater cashier, had finished talking to
Traffic Officer A. S. Yowaski and was
counting the days receipts, the last
show having started. When the
policeman had moved only few feet
away. a man reached through the
ticket window and grabbed a sheaf of
bills amounting to S57.
Money Thrown Away.
The pursuit, on foot and by taxicab,
was along F street and down Four
teenth, with the streets filled with
after-movie crowds. Before his cap
ture the fugitive threw the money
away. 1t was recovered
At the first precinct. the prisoner
told the police he was Anthony Binco,
500 block of Seventh street SW. Of
flcers said he told them he had lost
money at the races and did not want
to go home to his wife empty handed.
Two other unusual cases-in which
bandits help up street-car crew and
a taxicab driver fought off two other
assailants-were reported overnight.
In the street-car robbery, Motorman
c. Clarence Mullen was covered with
a pistol while Conductor Lloyd Holtz-
claw was robbed of $50 and 200 tokens.
The bandits, both colored, boarded the
car at Glen Echo, Md, about / am.
One of them covered Mr.. Mullen and
the other threw Mr.. Holtzclaw down
and robbed him.
The taxi driver who fought off the
would-be bandits was Andrew Rich
ardson, As, of 42ll Eighteenth street
NV. Two men he picked up at the
bus terminal at Fourteenth street and
New York avenue NV. pointed a
pistol at him when he stopped to let
them out in the 400 block of Franklin
street NV. When Mr.. Richardson re-
sisted he was struck several times on
the head with the gun. When the gun
"broke" and the cartridges fell out the
bandits lost heart and fed. Mr.. Rich
ardson was treated at Sibley Hospital
for head cuts.

EMPTY THEATER
l,4OO Patrons Driven Out
of Hartford Movie House;
No Real Clues

Hartford, Conn.,, Aug. 1.-(UP)-
Two inexpensive watches and
black silk stocking were the sole
clues of police today as they in
vestigated the explosion of the two
tear-gas bombs which drove 1,400
patrons from the Proven Pictures
theater last night.
A similar outrage occurred at a
Boston theater operated by the same
company Saturday night.
The bombs, according to authori-
ties, were glass containers filled
with a liquid or gas and were dis
charged by dry cell battery con-
nected with the watches. They were
wrapped in an old silk stocking
and placed under seat in the rear
row.
After the first bomb exploded and
many Of the patrons CROPPED their
way from the theater, police were
called. The second bomb went off
as they arrived and the building was
ordered cleared.
The theater was picketed nearly
two months ago by the International
Alliance of Theater Stage En-
ployes and Motion Picture Operators
after the management repeatedly re-
fused to install union maintenance
man. Union employees went on strike
and were replaced by non-union
