CHILDREN IN COURT,
Small Girls Occupy Front Seat While
Adults Are Being Tried.

Il think that some plan should be adopt
ed to keep Juveniles out of the Police Court
during the trial of adult cases. a visitor
to the court yesterday remarked to a Star
reporter. L mean by that, that children
should not be permitted to occupy seats in
the court room, but should be given seats
In the witness room.
Il attended the session Of the upper
branch of the Police Court yesterday and
saw three little girls, ranging in years from
nine to thirteen, occupying seats on a front
bench. bending their heads forward taking
in with apparent eagerneSS everything that
was said. Beside them on the same bench
was seated a white woman from the slums
of South Washington, who had been sum-
moned to attend court as a witness. She
was in an intoxicated condition, and / no.
ticed that two or three times she tried to
engage the eldest of the children in con-
verSatiOn.

occasions, some of 1t was of such a char
acter as to make it unfit for their hearing

adjourned, but was unable to find out why
the children We're there. They were not
called on any of the cases. Although they
were in the room and occupying seats on a
front bench it was nearly two hours be-
fore one of the court attaches noticed their
presence and escorted them from the ROOM
/ do not mean to say" the visitor said
that that is always the case, but I do
know that often children are permitted to
occupy seats in the court ROOM There is
requirement on the part of the judges
to have Juvenile witnesses remain in the

is not always enforced"

FIVE GRADING CAMPS BETWEEN
M0RlARTY AND TORRANCE

The latest information received by
the New Mexican concerning the COM
pletion of the Santa Fe Central Rail-
way is to the effect that grading of the
fifteen miles of line between Moriarty
and Willard Station, is going on rapid
ly, and that the entire grade will be
completed by the list of March. There
are now five grading camps between
Morarty and Torrance, three under the
management of Mulligan Brothers, Ell
Paso railroad contractors, and two un-
der the direct management of the en-
gineering department of the Santa Fe
Central railway. OF the 150 carloads of
steel rails purchased and paid for in
Pittsburg, Pa, only 81 cars have so far
arrived at Torrance, the remaining 100
cars being stretched out at stations on
the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific
railroad over which road they were
shipped. General Manager Hopewell is
doing his best to move these cars and
have them at Torrance as soon as pos
sible. The shipment of rails and track
material purchased and paid for at
Youngstown, Ohio, have commenced
and this material is expected to arrive
in this city and at Kennedy station be-
tween this date and the 1st of March.
The track construction and putting
down of rails will commence at Tor
rance and will be pushed northward as
quickly as possible for about so miles.
When this shall have been completed,
the track-laying machines, locomotives,
box cars, construction trains and the
like will be sent to Santa Fe via the El
Paso and Northeastern and the Atchi-
son. Topeka and Santa Fe lines and
the remainder of the track will be con-
structed from this city for about 70
miles south where it will be Joined to
the track constructed from the south.
There is force Of about 40 men now
at work in this city grading and pre-
pairing for laying track to connect
with the Atcf1ison, Topeka and Santa
Fe railway track here and for the nee
essary yard and side-tracks to be loca-
ted on the south side of the river.
A force of graders is also at work
from Moriarty station westward and
about three miles of the track of the
Albuquerque Eastern Railroad has
been laid.

this would place him in direct and per.
sonal antagonism with thousands of
close friends in the newer West, whose
regard extends beyond the expectations
and the differences which pertain to
partisan politics.
THE extra session feature, if that
becomes necessary, will be the joint
product of the president and the oppo-
nents of statehood-the senators who
! fear the growing influence of beyond
the Missouri The administration
forces in and out of congress, have
nothing to gain from an extra session.
Senator Quay's rider proceeding can
not well be attacked in the senate or
house from the standpoint of legisla-
tive practice. 1t has too many good
precedents Immediately behind it. In
bill, the Quay statehood measure Is al
so attached to the sundry civil appro-
priation and to the appropriation for
the agricultural department. In this
triple form it Is certain of action at an
early date. and this, too, whether the
president pro tempore of the senate.
Senator Frye of Maine, shall or shall
not be called upon for ruling with re-
gard to the character of the statehood
rider-whether it may be regarded as
germane to any or all of the appropria-
tions to which it is now attached.
while it is true that no state has
ever been admitted to the Union by vir-
tue of a rider to bill under another
and more general title, it is true that
the senate and house have given liberal
license to the rider form of legislation.
Measures of wide and far-reaching
interest have been passed in this way,
such as the Spooner bill, conferring
species of civil government on the Phil
ippines, and the Platt bill requiring
condition precedent to our recognition
of her independence. Both Of these
measures We're tackled on to an army

from Delegate B. S. Rodey:
There are a lot of snakes in the
grass at Santa Fe and at other places
in the territory who are watching oui
legislature and sending everything they
think will injure our people and ou1
territory to our enemies on the floor OF
the United States senate. Let this be

Mr.. Vargas moved we appointment
of a special committee to take action.
Mr.. Cristoval Sanchez suggested that
the matter be referred to the joint
statehood committee. This was done.
House Bill No. So, by Mr.. Cristoval
Sanchez, by request An act to provide
for an assistant secretary of the terri
tory of New Mexico, was reported fav-
orably by the committee on territorial
affairs Messrs. Pendleton. Cristoval
Sanchez and Pedro Sanchez made elo-
quent pleas for the passage of the bill
and a motion by Mr.. Romero to lay it
on the table was lost by Is nays to
ayes.
Mr.. Bowie asked for information as
to whether the bill was constitutional,
and if the secretary can delegate his
powers. Mr.. Llewellyn replied that the
act does not conflict with the organic
act as the assistant will transact terri
torial business only. Mr.. Pedro San
chez spoke strongly for the bill and
then moved its passage The bill was
passed unanimously.
The Speaker laid before the House,
House Bill No. 70, by Mr.. Baca, by re-
quest, An act for the purpose of ad-
justing water rights. The report of the
committee on irrigation was favorable.
An amendment by the committee was
that the law should not interfere with
community bitches in the Rio Grande
valley. Mr. Llewellyn made a hearty
plea for the passage of the bill, which
had been urged in petition signed by

He was applauded by the gallery in
which were many of those who had
signed the petition.
The bill was passed unanimously and
