to the City.
A member of the city council Is authority
for the statement thut certain streets or
dered paved will be rut out of the contract
with E. A. Wlckham at the meeting of the
city council next Monday night. The rea
son I because a large portion of the cost of
Improving these street will of a necessity
fall upon the city and the Improvement
fund will be overtaxed.
It Is stated that Park avenue from Po
mona street to the entrance of Falrmount
Prk will be cut out. a It Is almost cer
tain that half of the cost of the Improve
ment will fall on the city, owing to the
fact that Olen avenue lot, which abut on
na aids, are so much below grade thnt the
paving will not benefit them. It Is also
proposed. It Is said, to cut out Harmony
street. Benton Is to be paved and the lots
cornering on both Harrison and Benton
street will be unable to bear the cost of
the paving of both street nnd the result
will be that the burden will fall on the city.
The alley west of Blxth street l,.f....
Fifth and Seventh avenues, It is understood.

ATTACK ON JUVENILE LAW

PROPOSES TO TEST VALIDITY IN COURT

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Aug. 17.-8peelal.)
County Attorney Jesse A. Miller today
stated that at the September term of the
district court here he would make an attack
on the Juvenile court law. on the ground
that It Is unconstitutional. The attack will
be made by disregarding the law and taking
Juvenile offenders before th grand Jury In
the old way. Mr. Miller basis his belief
that the law Is unconstitutional largely on
the section which forbids sending a boy
under 17 year old to the penitentiary. This
leave one year In which there can be no
punishment for a boyi "t'nder thl law."
said Attorney Miller today, "the boy are
fast learning that to be arrested for a
crime means little more than a scolding by
the 'uilre and they are therefore more bold
than formerly. Out of ninety-seven boy
and girls arrested under thl act less than
a dozen have been punished. The law may
be all right for the smaller boy, but for
the larger one I am of the opinion that a
few Indictment
will hare a wholesome
effect In
stopping Juvenile mischief." The
monly reported and expected that the
friend of the law would appear before the
legislature next winter and ask that the
law be amended In some respects to remedy
defects. The law wa passed at the last
session.

above teams will probably compete In the
match for the Dryden trophy, which la In
charge of the New Jersey State Rifle asso
ciation. '
To accommodate the visiting teams a
street forty feet wide will be staked off,
beginning In the rear of the 1.000-yard firing

Social Features Provided.
The meeting will not be lacking In social
features. "A majority of ths members of
both the senate and house committees on

tion of being present and numerous other
guests are expected, many of whom will
be accompanied by ladle. The senators
and representative will be quartered at
the Beach House, a comfortable hotel ad
joining the, grounds. The state of New

the governor at 8ea Girt and Governor
Stokes and his staff will be there during
the meeting. A full military band will
be In attendance, which will give two con
certs aany in a large marque tent near
the club house, one during the noon, hour
and the other during the evening. As Sea
Girt Is only a few miles from Asbury
Park, Ocean Grove and numerous other
watering places along the coast, a large
number of visitors are expected. The rifle
teams will arrive on the 19th and SOth.
This will enable them to get some prelim
inary practice on the 21st, 22d and 23d, and

26th.
One of the most Interesting features of
the meeting will be the contest between
the affiliated rifle clubs for the Interclub
championship of the United States. There
are now seventy-five rifle clubs affiliated
with the National Rifle association, and
probably half of these will be represented
In this match. It Is expected that there
