COLLECTING PEN. DEBTS.
On tGs territorial side of the district
court yesterday, ct the instance of So
icitor-General Victory, Judgment for
S501.7s was entered up against James
Cory, county treasurer of Colfax
county, as principal and his sureties;
Chas. Springer, G. NJ. Bayne, G. N. Black
we'll and 7. A. Schomburg. The case
grows out of the railroad strike of July a
year ago, and the debt is due to the peni
Tertiary for the care and feed of Colfax
county prisoners, Robert Bland and others,
who were sent there by order of Judge
Seeds as a result of chancery proceeding
in the territorial courts wherein these
persons were charged with contempt of
court. The penitentiary's bill was sent
to the county seat of Colfax county and
duly audited by the county board, but the
treasurer refused to pay it, and after re-
peated attempts to collect the bill the So
licitor general brought suit. In this con-
nection it is interesting to note that
some $4,000 have long been due the peni-
Tertiary from various counties for the
keep of prisoners ordered incarcerated
there by the courts under conditions
somewhat similar to the above, and it has
become drain on the institution that is
both unreasonable and oppressive. The
solicitor-general has now pending man
damus proceedings against San Miguel
and and Mora counties touching Just
such bills.

iect has been divided In such manner
that each member may have fair op-
portunity TO vote either in favor or In
opposition to the entire subject OF I'M
migration restriction or upon the meas
ure and scope Of such restriction Of
course. those who are opposed TO re-
strlction OF immigration need give little
attention To the manner by which re-
strlction may be secured. while those
who are favorable to restriction can
fully discuss and decide as TO forms
and measures of restriction.
The following are questions submit
ted; Does your organization favor
amending the laws Of the United states
10 restrict immigration more than u Is
now restricted? Does your orsaniza-
ton favor a provision In the law guard
ing against criminal and pauper ele-
ments entering the United states?
Should the foreign consular service and
our immigration department be en-
trusted with greater powers To enforce
the Immigration laws? should viola
ton OF the alien contract law by en-
ployers be punishable by imprison-
ment? Should steamship companies be
held responsible for a term OF years for
the character OF their passengers:
should a stricter civil and educational
test he enforced as to qualification for
naturalization? should every immi-
grant be compelled to declare his inten-
tion to become a citizen of the United
statese What other provision does
your organisation favor and suggest. II
any. to the further restriction OF immi-
grationy
Organizations which expect to be
