EFFORTS DIG MADE TO SAVE MUG BOYS

Meeting to Advance the Work Will Be Held To-Morrow Night at Commercial Club. JUVENILE COURT IDEAS A movement that, will probably be taken up by the citizens of Indianapolis Is the one of appointing? probation officers to aid In the work already started by Judge Stubbs and others in connection with the Juvenile Court. The present work of the probation officers has been carried on for one year. During- that short time the good which the people have done for the young incorriglbles of the city is already noticeable. The idea at the present time is for a number of the business men and citizens of the city to tak In charge a small boy who has been placed on rarole by Judge Stubbs, of the Juvenile Court, for ome crime, and Hlfo to look after the boy who are out on parole or probation from the reform chool at Plainfleld. Letters to 2Ö0 prominent men of the. city have been sent out asking them to meet at the Commercial Club to-morrow evening, when plans will t drafted for a permanent organization of the society. It is also desired that all of these people shall become probation officers. At this meeting speeches will be made by prominent business men and people who are experienced in the work. Among them are John V. Krn, president of the Commercial Club: Judg Stubbs, of the Juvenile Court; Superintendent York, of the Indiana Reform School for Boys, and Attorney Thomas Col lim-.. The person who takes a boy on probation tries to secure a position for him If he docs not want to go to school or when there is some one depending on his wages. The boy is required to report to this person at least once a week. It has been found that this plan is about tne best, as the boy, in his weekly reports, soon finds out that he has friends and. begins to take an interest in himself. In this manner much good is accomplished and the boy Instead of becoming a pronounced criminal, becomes a hardworking youth. The boys who had at one time been confined in riaiotield, gives the probation officers the most work. There are about forty probation officers at the present time, who have from one to eighteen cases each under their supervision. During the last year the volunteer officers had charge of 685 cases. Of this number 23 per cent, were colored and teventy-one of them were girls.1 The average age of the truants was from fourteen to sixteen. Of this number 231 were placed on probation and at the present time they are on probation and are all working or goiug to school. In the case of a child going to school, the teacher who has charge of it is asked to communicate each week with the probation officers f" that in case the child becomes unruly, there may be some action taken. Since the first of January, this year, sixteen boys have been placed on probation from Plainfleld. in this city. One hundred boys are now on parole in this city from Plainfleld who, the officers claim, should be on probation. Of the cases taken charge of last year, fifty-six were snt to the Reform School, fifty-seven to the Mrs. Julia Work Industrial School at Plymouth, nineteen girls to the Industrial School and seven girls to the House of the Good Shepherd. During the year. the officers had charge of twenty-seven runaway boys and kept them here until the relatives had been communicated with. Of this number transportation was asked for only two from the township trustee. The cost to Marion county for boys kept at Plainfleld is $70 a year for each boy. At the Julia Work School the cost is about $1. Most of the boys arrested last year were on the charge of petit larceny, loitering coming next. Throwing stones and assault and battery caused a number of them to be placed on probation. DOUBLE FUNERAL; HOUSE IN MOURNING Tfnre was a double funeral at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse liar ley, 027 Germania avenue, yesterday. Side by side in the front room of the little home two little white coffins stood, while the father, struggling to check back the tears, tried in vain to soothe his heartbroken wife. Hubbard, the two-year-old son, died last Wednesday and was to have been buried at Scottsburg, Ind., yesterday, but Friday night the four-tr.onths-old baby Ruth died. The funeral will b held at Scottsburg to-day. Returning: from Arizona. State Geologist W. S.

MERGER

BE Ohio, Indiana and Missouri Capitalists Meet at the Claypool Hotel. TELEPHONE MEN HERE A consolidation of all Independent longdistance telephone companies operating in Ohio. Indiana and Illinois, forming a chain of lines from Philadelphia to St. Louis, is contemplated, and a meeting was held at the Claypool Hotel yesterday to discuss means to the proposed merger. The United States Long-Distance Telephone Company, over whose lines the traffic of numerous independent telephone companies is carried on, is backing the plan. It is declared. The New Long-Distance Company and the Pittsburg & Allegheny Telephone Company, represented by J. C. Splaln, of Pittsburg, are also interested. The Cuyahoga Telephone Company, of Cleveland, the New Long-Distance Telephone Company, of this city, the Citizens' Telephone Company, of Columbus, O., and the KInloch Telephone Company, of St. Louis, are said to be the principal companies to the merger. Although those who were here refused to go into details, it is believed that the formation of the Indianapolis Telephone Company last week was the preliminary step in the merging of the New Telephone Company with the others named. Maxime Reber, James B. Höge and F. S. Dickson, of Cleveland, whose holdings include many telephone companies in smaller cities In eastern Ohio, together with James E. Brailey. jr.. of Toledo, who is heavily, interested in western Ohio telephone companies, consulted with S. P. Sheerin and II. B. Sale, of this city, and C. M. Förster, Charles H.

His company, the Queen City Telephone Company, Is fighting for admittance in Cincinnati, and with this secured and the Louisville system joined to the others, the promoters say that the lines of the Bell Company would be paralleled in central western territory and that the new independent companies would be a hardy rival of the Bell company. COLORED HOLD-UP MAN SENT Q UICKLY AWAY William S. Simans Had a( Trusty Revolver Ready for Use. After holding a negro hold-up man at bay with a revolver, William S. Simans, a watchman at the Statehouse, escaped a deliberate attempt to beat and rob him yesterday near Twentieth and Illinois streets. Mr. Simans was going to his home and left a North Illinois-street car near the corner. He noticed a negro approaching him, but the man passed on and Mr. Simans, whose uniform was concealed by his overcoat, thought ho more of the incident. When about one-half block farther down Illinois street the man was discovered stealthily approaching from the rear. He seemed startled when discovered by Mr. Simans, and, seeing that he was observed, said: "Mister, I want your watch, and I want it quick!" He ran toward Mr. Simans as he made the demand. The officer whipped out his revolver, which stopped his assaillant at once. "This gun will strike one, if you don't get away," he said. The negro took the hint and disappeared more rapidly than he came. Visits Indiana. Ilulldliifir. A. C. Alexander, of the State World's Fair Commission, returned yesterday from a short visit to the fair at St. Louis. "The Indiana building is one of the most beautiful and substantial structures at the fair," said Mr. Alexander, "and has had many visitors from this State, although the mud on the grounds almost prevents entrance to the exposition." Mr. Alexander, while there, supervised some minor improvements to the building. Celebrates Ills Birthday. General George F. McGinuis, postmaster of this city, was seventy-eight years of age yesterday. His office was decorated with flowers of all sorts from many friends. Rev. D. R.

Th class also-' had a heated discussion concerning the place -in which to hold Its commencement exercises. The members are about evenly divided between English's Opera House, the Park and Tomlinson Hall. If the success of a Senate meeting can be judged by the noise made, last Friday's was the liest of the season. The pension bill was up for discussion and the arguments for it and against were extremely heated. The defenders of the measure included Senator Hale, its introducer (Hugh Mattindale). Smoot (Walter Guedel. Daniels (Irwin Derre) and Hansbrough (Mayme Klentschy). The. speech of the latter senator was notable because of the fact that few girls eer talk, but she gave a very eloquent and stirring appeal favoring- the passage of the bill. The first vote was a tie, I'O to IM. but on the second ballot, the bill was defeated by a score of 20 to VJ. Leo Lando. optician. 112 North Penn. St.

j& PRIZE WINNERS

Following are the winners of the prizes offered for the beFt solution of the puzzles in the Sunday Journal's Color Magazine Supplement Feb. 2i: IVAN THOMPSON Sulphur Springs. Ind. ROBERT B. DICK Farmland. InI. Out of over fcoö replies received to the puzzles appearing Feb. 2S. only two were correct. Everybody but those two, failed on the puzzle of the three tramps who wished to divide evenly the contents of a six-quart kes of brer most expeditiously with a live-pint pall and a three-pint can. The correct solution of the prublem Is as follows: First, the tramps fill the five-pint pall. Fcom this they pour enough to fill the three-pint can, thus giving one man three pints to drink and another two pints. Now they fill the three-pint can once more and pour it into the rtve-piut pail. Then they fill the three-pint can again from the ktg and pour from it to fill up the five-pint pail. This leaves one pint in the can and five pints in the pail. In the keg there is one pint left now. The tramps give this one pint in the kef? to the man who has had non. The one pint iu the can they give to the man who has had three pints already. Then they fill the three-pint can agalu from the five-pint pail- This gives an even three-pint measure to one mau and au even two-pint measure to another, thus giving each man four pints. PEORIA is the name of the city hidden in the sentence: "Dear Alphouso. give me hoPE OR I Am broken hearted." A check for 1 1.00 has beeu mailed to each of the prize winner.
