JUDGE KIMBALL’S POSITION He Would Like to Afford Oppor- tunities to Newsboys. YESTERDAY’S BAD ACCIDENT There is a police regulation that imposes a penalty on minors for jumping on moving street cars and stealing rides, and the ac- cident or the Washington and Georgetown cable road yesterday recalls the many ac- cidents of this kind that have happened since the cable road was started. Judge Kimball has hesrd a number of these cases, but has always given the newsboys the benefit of their occupation, and held that urder ordinary circumstances the law did not apply to them. In so holding Judge Kimball has said that he thought the law was not meant to apply to the newsboys, and so far as he was concerned he did not want to stand in the way of boys or other persons who are endeavoring to earn an honest living. A Case Today. Yesterday afternoon Sergeant Lombardy made a case of this kind, the offender be- ing a newsboy named A. T. Crimmett. While the boy was selling papers his con- duct cn the car was not entirely proper. He was taken to the police station, and this morning his case was called for trial befcre Judge Kimball. Lawyer Enoch Totten, counsel for the railroad company, appeared in court to pro- tect the company’s interests, while Mr. Pugh was present for the District. The boy had no one other than the judge to look out for him, When the case was called the conductor was called to the stand, and he told the court of the boy’s conduct. The boy jumped on the car and ran along the run- ning board, and when spoken to by the con- ductor he became impudent and refused to get off. After some little trouble the con- ductor caught the boy and turned him over to the police. Col. Totten’s Remarks. Col. Totten, representing the cable road, said he desired to say something about this question of boys jumping on cars, Only yesterday, he sald, there was an accident on the road, and he understood that the little boy was fatally injured. This poor little fellow was a newsboy and was jumping about the car when the accident happened. He explained that the boys jump on the running board on the side next to the other track in order to jump from the car to a moving car on the other track. He said he witnessed a case yester- day and gave the boy a warning, which, however, was not heeded, for the boy only repeated his dangerous jumping. “There is a severe regulation on this sub- ject,” said counsel, ‘‘and I hope it will be rigidly enforced. The Newsboys. “It will be enforced I presume,” said Judge Kimball, ‘but I dislike very much the idea of depriving the newsboys of a chance of earning a livelihood. Every morning on my way down town I see the boys get on the cars, and some of them sell a dozen papers. And the passengers expect them. Heretofore I have made the law apply to all boys other than those en- gaged in seiling newspapers, and I would be glad if some means whereby the news- boys could get on the cars and sell their papers without being in danger could be devised.” Mr. Totten said he did not know how such an arrangement could be made, for he said there is more or less danger at- tached to jumping on the moving cars. Always Danger. Judge Kimball suggested that perhaps the boys might jump on the ears from the outer side of the track and thereby avoid a great amount of danger. Even then there would be danger, said counsel, but the boys would insist on jump- ing next to the other track in order to get from ome car to another. He thought it was a cruelty not to enforce the law against newsboys as well as others. The accidents prove a great annoyance to the company, for whenever there is an accident the railroad men are arrested and locked up, and there is a suit entered against the company. “But,” said Judge Kimball, “where there is such contributory negligence, a verdict against the company would never stand. In the case yesterday the people will have nothing upon which to base a sult for damages.” “That may all be true,” sald Lawyer Tot- ten, “but it is not an easy matter to per- suade a jury that the company is not to blame, and whatever the result may be, it is a great annoyance to the compa and there are already enough suits on hand.” Judge Kimball said that in this particular case he had no doubt as to what he should do, as the facts in the case were not such as applied strictly to a newsboy selling pa- pers. When, however, a case against a newsboy attending strictly to his business comes before the court, he will give the matter the fullest consideration. The Crimmett boy was fined $5, which he paid. —— AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. A Little Bug Doing Damage to the Foliage. A little brown bug of the beetle order has made its appearance on the heights of tewn, and is devastating the foliage. Leaves are being withered in a day. Some of the choicest trees have begun to take on a very defective appearance. The bug is exciting considerable concern among those who pay attention to their shade trees. i Narrow Escape. While excavating yesterday for founda- tion purposes, on the property adjoining on the north the home of Mr. Charles H. Trunnel, 1520 34th street, an iron hook, ten inches long, attached to the beam of the excavating plough, broke through the strain upon it and bounded toward the ‘Trunnel home, crashing through a window of the sitting room and landing in the mid- dle of the floor. The crash came just as Mrs. Wm. A. Clarke, who had been watching the work- men, left the affected window. An Extension, It 1s reported here that the Mt. Vernon electric road is to be extended at a very early date to the Aqueduct bridge, Vir- ginia end, over the proposed Rosslyn ex- tension of the Pennsylvania road. The Pennsylvania people, it has been under- stood, for some time have had a con- trolling influence in the Mt. Vernon electric company. Over a year ago grading on this exten- sion was begun. Notes.
