Burns Urges Brook- hart Bill in Anthony League Address. ‘Walter M. Burns, in an address Wed- nesday before the Anthony League, at 1734 N, 'street northwest, urged that the citizens push the Brookhart bill, recently referred to the District com- mittes of the Senate, which advocates {the creating of a parental court to {deal with children in matters which i heretofore had been under the juris- dictlon of the Juvenile Court and the board of children's guardans. “The present system used by the Juvenile Court makes a criminal out of a child for missing school.”” Mr. Burns added. He cited an incident where a child had been up before a Juvenile Court for being absent from school who had been unable to go to school because he did not have shoes | to wear. as his father was out of work and unable to buy him any. i Mrs. David R. Covell = defended Judge Katherine Sellers of the Juve-} nile Court as being competent, honest and interested in her work, and stat- ed that the board of children's guard- fans had been greatly hampered in its | work by a lack of funds.

South Bend, Ind., Man Charged ‘With Too Stringent Discipline. SOUTH BEND, Ind., December 22.— Stringent disciplinary measures prac- ticed by John Morgan, thirty-five years old, on his foster daughter. Ellen, aged fifteen, may prove fatal for the latter, who he shot and seri- ously wounded yesterday. Morgan, in | a statement to police, said the shoot- | ing was accidental and occurred while he was scolding her for dlsobedi- ence. He sald that in order to em- phasize his remarks he pointed a revolver at the girl to frighten her. | Ellen, he sald, became hysterical and in atfempting to knock the gun from his_hands caused it to explode, the bullet striking her just below the heart. Donald Wyman, twelve years old, another adopted 'child of Morgan's, who wlitnessed the shooting, told a story which conflicted with that of | his foster father. He sald Morgan and Ellen engaged in a violent quar- rel, which ended when the former picked up a revolver and fired point- blank at the girl. Physiclans entertain little hope for the recovery of the girl. Morgan is being held pending investigation of the shooting. Uncle Sam Mixes In the Turkish Broil Almost any pleasant morning, these last five weeks, a smooth-shaven, boyish-looking American could have been seen walking bareheaded from the Hotel Beaurivage in Lau- sanne along the lakeside to another hotel, to join a company of top-hatted, frock-coated, If Richard Washburn Child was only an “unofficial observer” at the Lausanne Conference it would be difficult to deny that he was the “observed of all observers.” An “unofficial observer” on such occasions as these is generally supposed to be seen and not heard, but Ambassador Child has been heard—and listened to attentivelv—at Lausanne. Europe heard this representative of a nation officially committed to non-interference in European affairs arise day after day to state definitely and forcefully the policy of the United States on points of controversy between the Western Powers and the new Turkey, which has replaced the “Sick Man of Europe.” Press correspondents at Lausanne have called attention to the leading part played in the delibera- What does this mean, our editors have been wondering, as they read the dispatches from the Swiss city. Are we really intervening? “Isn’t Mr. Child wading into the Lau- sanne Conference rather more deeply than is permitted to a mere observer?” queries the Dallas News (Dem.). The United States, remarks the Utica Press (Ind.), “would appear to be in a position of playing an important if not a decisive role.” Others wonder what will come next. The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST this week (Dec. 23) takes up the story of American participation at Lausanne as sketched, from day to day by correspondents and interpreted by contemporaneous editorial comment.
