Peter Posarski, a saloon keeper who conducts a place at One Hundred and Thirty-eijrhth and Adler streets, at S o'clock this morning shot and. probably fattally wounded. Joe Cudleviglt an other saloonkeeper Vi the latter's sa-j loon at 3S02 Beech street, the bullet ! passing through the risrht breast of! the victim Ciidlevijrlt was able to' make a statement after the trapredy In; which he exonerated his friend and .neighbor, declaring that the shooting was an accident and blaming himself for it. j Posarski was however arrested an 1 j taken to the I-ndiana Harbor police itation. where he was still confined up' to about noon today, awaiting the oul-i

come of Ciidlevigit's injuries. He seemed considerably downcast over the tragedy, but said that he was not to blame. It seems to have been another case of "din't know it was loaded." Posarski had dropped into Cudle- - vijffa place and the latter brought out to show "his friend, a new magazine gun he had purchased. ud!evlgit as he handed the weapon to Posarski replied In the negative to Posarski's question' "Is it loaded?" Posarski. thus assured, pulled the trigger. There was a resounding repirt and Cudleviglt reeled back behind the bar. apparently dead. The police afid Dr. .1. P. Ktawicki anj Pr. C. C. Ilobinson were summoneo at once and on the arrival of -Sergeant Barker he- found Posarski gone.

In the meantime Cndle-v-igit had revived sufficiently to tell of , how the shoot had occurred and Posarki's story of the accident tallied with that' of the victim. Cudleviglt was removed to the living rooms back of the saloon where he is being cared for by his family.

GARY BOYS BEST HEBRON In a fast and exciting basket-ball frame at the Kmerson school .Saturday evening the Gary night school boys defeated Hebron by a score of 64 to 9. The team work of the Gary boys proved too much for the boys from He bron. the latter having very little of ! the ball. The first half was about even j but in the second half the Gary team j had the ball at all times. During the ' game one of the Hebron boys was hurt ! twice. Time was called and it was , not long before he was on the field again. Next Saturday the Gary team travels to Whiting and the following Saturday to Hebron for a return game, which will end the basket-ball season. Lord Grey Plans Coronation Fete

(By Judge Mlllls Brown.) The laws of 1901 in the act concernIn the education of children gives the public schools through proper officials, the right to adjudge children truant and incorrigible, in fact deficient, 'and to compel them to attend any special school which the school authorities may equip or maintain, within or without their corporate limits and by special tax. The vnrloirs supreme court decisions sustaining the power of the public schools to take custody of children, even against parents desires in special cases, and to commit these children to various places for educational purposes, even to determining, as in two cases in Indiana that commitment to the Roys' School at P'.ainfield and to the Girl's School was for educational purposes, makes an undisputable foundation for the parental court. There are certain rights of , parents however which cannot be abused, and therefore, before the school system takes entire custody of any child, the parent should hav vee right of a proper hearing . in the adjuication of any case of a child likely . to be removed from their' custody. Under the well grounded, rule of law. that having been given jurisdiction in - a matter, that takes with it the power to aefinj proceedings not contrary to specific statute, to exorcise ar.d carry out the provisions of that jurisdiction we establish the Parental Court, for it an institution created by law wherein the 'State through its educational laws operates an agency which for a time shall for the child's education ai.u h-t the public good assumes the parental relation. In no xense is the Parental Court or the Parental Schl institutions of punishment, but departments of the educational scheme of the city operated under state law.

They are punished for the acts which they commit and therefore have a trial, at law to j determine the crime or delinquency and the mode ' of punishment to be meted out. In a trial of a child. Vnder the law the alleged offender is entitled to every proceedings any alleged criminal has and' this cannot be denied the child. Kven for truancy a jury can be demanded and the case X appealed In tlie same manner which

arid Her Army

obtains in the trial of a murderer. If this is denied by any court juvenile or otherwise, then before a child can be removed from the parents for punishment, the parents must be tried as unfit to longer have control and the power to punish. Ail this proceedings under common-law brands the child and humiliates the parent who may be Innocent of the causes which led the child into difficulties. It crowds our reform schools' and custodial Institutions with boys. In fact in such alarming numbers, that evn now In Lake county, there has been some talk of building a County Reform or Industrial school for the boys who appear and are sentenced in the Circuit Court at Crown Point. v The Parental -court is a protest against this method of treating children other than children and wards ct the home and school. Nearly one half of all the boys committed to the Boys School at- Plainfleld the year of 1910 were sent there charged with truancy and Incorrigibility.- - The' Parental Court steps in only when the natural parent and ordinary school control has proved inaducate to morajiv - educate ant! control a child. ' When thl? condition prevails, then. In the Parental Court, with no contest but where, away fiom the public court room, the legal records and the formal official conduct, parent and school representative, the two agencies haying under law to.'ntodlal power to care for the child, get together and in the spirit of equity and justice determine how best a mistaken and deficient child may be saved to himself and society. Then, in anv transfer to a special or parental school there still remains the co-operation o patent and school, and the child it not removed and sent to strangers and to mingle with a crowd and there havj i-1 lipru ptnerimpnl nn liim o nil laarn needs and peculiar traits wnicn is of incorrigible acts in the school There is no record against any child in the parental court. Many of the backward truant and Incorrigible children are sick. Many have ailments which contribute to deficient condition. Some of the so-called bad boys are but children half-bred and half-fed. I will not conduct an examination of any child sent to the parental court until I know the physical and mental condition . of that child.

commission will have become a law when the governor's proclamation promulgating the laws , is published. A new era In the work of the commission was predicted by Commission er Payne as a result or the new laws.. The commission has been more or less' hampered in the past by limitations prescribed by laws. Within the field of Its jurisdiction the Indian . railroad commission will have powers equal almost to that . of the Interstate commerce commission. ' Th.e . most . Important new act, perhaps, gives the commission power to compel Interurban companies to install one-of .the. three. recognized systems of block signals the manual, the manual controlled and the automatic. This power was asked as trie obvious means of preventing accidents on Interurban roads. . The . commission already had the power to compel tha installation of block signals on steam roads, tut the law . was . more or less ineffective because the commission, was 'given power to require the installation of "proper blocking," and the commission and the railroads were unable to agree as to what constituted "proper blocking." Commissioner Payne said that the railroad commission of Indiana, would require a number of roads to insiail one of the three systems of block signals immediately after the laws take effect. The status of a number of sult3 pending in the courts involving the Installation of block signals will not be disturbed by the new law. The Seidensticket act. which removes the two-year limitation on the effectiveness ' of orders issued by the railroad commission, unless suspended or revised by the commission, probably iR the next most important act passed by the last general assembly. 'In the past the contest of orders of the commission has often required the examination fails to reach the case. Many boys are sent to the reform , school when they need a hospital, and la boy Is scared in attempts tfo maite I him good when he needs more of a 'good square meal and a bath. j No child will be referred to the parental court until principal, parent or proper official makes a written stateIment that every method possible has been tried In the ordinary school and home conduct and it has failed to correct the child. The parental court will also remove a child from tfte associations ..of the clean normal child when it is ascertained that any chi'd has habits which are dangerous to the morals of other children. But even in this, we still give that child the fair change in the matter of education and aajvation. Ithout using' criminal law

. governor because of the rush of busi-

ness .at the closing hours of the session. An order of the commission, which was accepted by the interurban operators, covers the omission, however. The danger signal post act will require every, steam and interurban road In the state to erect the warning signs at highway crossings. " The act requiring the . Inspection of locomotive boilers was not championed by the railroad commission, but, with the approval of the governor, the commission has the appointment of the Inspector provided -for In the at. The position will pay $2,000 annually. The act will, require., the. inspection of all locomotives engaged in moving interstate traffic. The locomotives engaged in the movement, of interstate "traffic are inspected under the provisions of the .federal statute. It is not believed that the new law will apply, to the "dinky" engines used by. railroaa construction contractors. The Nettervllle senate act regulating the character of telegraph, tele phone and electric light wires . which cross one another is regarded by the commission an another Important act. The act requires that telegraph and telephone wires crossing one another or electric light wires either must be f aluminum or copper between the wo posts 'on either side of the cross.ng point, and that the span must not be more than 100 feet long. The act was designed to prevent accidents due to falling wires. The act will not affect wires already In use. The full switching crew act. the "caboose" act and the act requiring signal lights at all deails are regarded as Important measures by the commission, but none of them was championed by that body. These measures were presented and passed -at the instance of v-arlous railroad men's organizations. and reformatories, only In specially bad cases where a child absolutely refuses to be helped by our educational method and deserves the punishment of law. In this case the parental court has no jurisdiction to punish and must necessarily refuse to handle all such.
