Meeting of County Judges.

The second annaul meeting OF the
County Judges Association OF the state
was held in the chambers of President
Ben B. Lindsey at the court house in
Denver June eth.
A resolution was adopted to obtain
through the Legislature the abolish
ment of the fee system as applied at
present to the county courts and 1t was
decided TO bring about legislative ac-
tion whereby all county judges should
receive uniform salary regardless OF
what fees might be earned.
Because of the greater jurisdiction
attaching to the county courts through
out the state ii was decided that in
future all county judges shall be re-
quired to have the same qualifications
as district judges, at least in counties
of the first second and third classes. At
present the statute provides that only
judges OF counties of the first class
shall be required to be members Of
the bar in good standing.
Because of such conflict and differ
eAces in the rules obtaining in the
county courts of the state it was agreed
that In future uniform set of rules
be adopted which shall govern the
practice and procedure in all county
courts as to the payment of docket fees
In probate cases. the fees which shall
be allowed lawyers for defending di-
vorce cases. etc. At present these fees
vary from $25 to S., but in future they
will be all uniform.
Judge Ben B. Lindsey was reelected
president. A. B. Frost of Teller county
vice president. Charles E. Southard OF
Weld county treasurer, and c. II. Lib
hey of Denver secretary. A committee
consisting of Judges Kelsey, McCloud
and Pratt was appointed to draw up
new constitution and bylaws for the
association. About thirty letters from
different judges throughout the state
were read, expressing their approval
of the objects of the meeting.
1t was agreed that a uniform set OF
blank forms should be used in all
county counts under the new probate
code, which goes into effect on July 3.
Blanks will also be prepared for use
under the new juvenile law. Judge
Joseph Mowitt was appointed to pre-
pare set of rules to govern the prac-
tice and procedure in all county courts
of the state.

Pardon Urged for woode.

The Board of Penitentiary Commits
sioners at Canon City. on the day of
the prisoners dash for liberty in which
Kirch Kuykendall was killed, passed
the following resolutions:
Whereas, We consider that great
assistance was rendered this institution
by the prompt and fearless action of
Thomas Helster mo. 4,S39 and An
tone Woode (No. 3,199), in the attempt
to escape made this morning by the six
desperate criminals consigned herein;
and
Whereas, We further consider had
it not been for their efforts and prompt
action, great injury or death might
have resulted to Mrs. Cleghorn and
others connected with the institution;
therefore be it
Resolved, By the Board of Peniten-
tiary Commissioners now in session
that we most respectfully recommend
his excellency. James H. Peabody, gov
ernor of Colorado, to extend executive
clemency to said Helster and Woode as
a reward for their services and merito-
rious conduct"

Santa Fe Railroad. The suit involves
about $4,000, and is entered on the in
stance of Governor Peabody, who df-.
rected the prosecution Of the road. 1t
is based on the non-payment of the
regular fiat tax of four cents on the
thousand dollars. Computing the capi-
tai stock of the company to be $685.
100000, the Santa Fe was found to be
debtor to the state of Colorado, May
1, 1902, for the sum of $9,34444. A year
later another bill of $9.339.44 was pre-
sented. The railroad failed to pay in
either case. and was notified on June
18th that ten per cent. penalty for
every six months in default would be
added. The state sues for the two sums,
$9,344.44 and $9,33944. with ten per
cent. interest on each from June 18th.
The inspection Of state troops by Off
GERS of the regular army as required by
the new militia law, ended June 29th.
with the inspection of the Canon City
and Florence companies. Adjutant
General Bell and his office staff are
making out the acquisitions for sup
plies and equipments to be used by the
troops during the fall maneuvers at
Fort Russell. The men will all be armed
with the regular army rifle and the
battery will be equipped with breech
loading cannon instead of the old brass
Napoleons, which have been doing ser.
vice for SO long.

Land Board Proceedings.

The state land board, at its weekly
meeting July 1st, decided that in the
future no land should be sold for res
ervoir sites for less than $40 an acre.
In the past the land has rarely been
sold for over SIS an acre. but the sites
are becoming more valuable every day.
as the interest in irrigation and the
storage OF water increases, and the
board does not believe it wise to sell
land for less sum when in three or
four years its value will be doubled.
Tho board sold two reservoir sites
IN Weld county at $40 an acre and
two quarter sections OF land adjoining

Charities and Correction.

An interested audience, composed OF
the charter convention committee on
charities, correction and education
and members of the Woman's club,
listened, on the afternoon of July Sd.
to the ideas of those connected with
charity and correction institutions of
the city.
Rev. r. E. Sykes of the Associated
Charities gave an account OF the work
of that organization and described the
difference between the charity which
pauperizes and that which truly helps.
He told of the founding Of the present
organization fifteen years ago by My.
ron Reed and others, and of the work
which has since been done by it.
In his opinion outdoor relief work,
such as is done by the organization,
should be left in its hands by the
charter, and care should be taken to
entirely eliminate politics. He said
that in the past the poor fund in 9TH
er cities had not been kept entirely
free from the hands of the spoiler, and
that where politics entered charity
was often placed where it would bring
the most goods, instead of where it
would do the most good.
Judge Lindsey described in detail
his ideas regarding the treatment of
juvenile offenders. He was listened
to with great interest and numerous
questions were asked him by members
of the committee. Judge Lindsey held
that no one under sixteen years old
could be criminal or commit crime.
Misdemeanors committed by children
under this age, he thought, were rare
ly malicioGsly meant. He reviewed
the effects on children when confined
with older persons with trained Grim
inal instincts, and cited numerous in
stances which have come under his
observation while acting as Judge of
the juvenile court.
His remedy is what he styles DE
tention Home" building to be owned
by the city in residence portion. In
charge of this he would have q super
intendent and matron, who should be
man and wife, and have sufficient edu-
cation to give the children in their
care a training which would make
good citizens out of them. He thought
that the appointment of these two Of
ficers should rest with the judge of
the juvenile court for. he said, the
Judge was responsible for sending
them to the home, and he should also
be responsible for their care and
training while in the home. This
could not be, unless the appointment
of the officers of the home rested with
him.
In answer to questions from mem
bers of the committee, he said that
home coud be built for $4,000 at the
most. The sentences of the children
sent there should rest with the Judge,
who should not be bound by laws in
this respect. as different children
needed different treatment He
thought that the time of detention
would range from two days to two
months, and that there would be at
least 300 children of both sexes each
year who might be sent to the home
for varying lengths of time. He was
opposed to charging children under
the given age with crime and thought
it all should be included under disor-
derly conduct.

preparation a blacklist of all cattle
