Seven in Philadelphia, Rang- ing From 11 to 15 Years 0ld, Are Acquitted. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, January 14— Seven children, four boys and three girls, were acquitted in homicide trials here. The large number of such prosecutions in juvenile cases resulted from a recent ruling that legal juve- niles (children sixteen or less) When charged with murder come under the jurisdiction of the county courts in- stead of the juvenile division of the municipal courts, which has no penal- izing authority beyond a reformatory sentence. Three additional courts were open to clean up the accumula- tion of cases.

January 14.—German gold estimated at between $10,000,000 and $12,000,000 has been deposited this week with the New York Fed- eral Reserve Bank, it is learned, evi- dently in anticipation of the pay- ments to be made under the mora- torium.
