proved by then Governor Orman.
April II. 1901, Charles A. johnson on
April 10th was appointed comis
sioner to re-survey the boundary line
between Colorado and New Mexico, or
that portion lying between astronomi-
cal monuments 6 and 8.
The re-survey was to be made in
conjunction with commissioners from
the United States government and
that of New Mexico, but these latter
neglecting to make appointments, Mr..
Johnson proceeded on behalf of Colo
RADIO and has filed his report with the
secretary OF state.
According to Johnson's report there
is discrepancy of several hundred
feet between his survey and the orig
inal made by Elihu Darling in 1868,
Darling's line running south OF that
run by Johnson on the line of the
thirty-seventh parallel. A government
survey which has been started shows
the same discrepancies as far as it has
proceeded, and il the boundary line as
run should be accepted. the town of
Edith and numerous sections of land
now in Colorado will in the future be
in the territory of New Mexico.
Monument 6, from which Johnson
started his survey, is about one mile
east Of the town Of Osier. station on
the Denver & Rio Grande. He found
numerous mile posts missing, which
he replaced as far as possible in their
old positions. Between mile posts 2O9
and PA he found discrepancy of O.
s65 feet to the north. and between 1856
and POI he found jog of 726 feet to

Child Labor Case Appealed.

Attorney Thomas II. Hood, repre-
senting the Overland Cotton mills,
John l.. Jerome and Dean Sutcliffe, has
filed brief in the Supreme Court
asking that the Judgment of the Coun-
ty Court In fining the defendants $50
each for violating the child labor law
be set aside.
The defendants were found guilty
and fined by Judge Lindsey In the
County Court last fall for employing a
child under fourteen years old to
work In the mills. The complaint was
sworn to by o. l.. Tuft an agent of the
State Humane Society. One error as
signed is in connection with this COM
plant. which reads that the COM
plainant swore to the facts set forth
because Of his own personal knowl-
edge. In the brief 1t is alleged that
Tuft on oath admitted that he knew
only one Of the defendants, and that
he had not seen the misdemeanor al
legged. It is also alleged that the
statutes covering the cases specify
persons and that corporations are not
mentioned anywhere.
The brief closes by stating that while
the defendants believed that what
ever Judge Lindsey had done in the
case was from the best of motives and
desire to be impartial, yet there was
sometimes danger that in looking
after the rights and interests of chill.

JUDGE LINDSEY
TELLS ABOUT BOYS

Denver. June 22.-Yesterday was
the last day of the convention of the
state Epworth League, which began
on Tuesday, June 18th. Despite the
alI-night session on Larimer street
Saturday night, the delegates were up
and working early yesterday morning.
The morning was almost entirely CIV
en- over to work at the county jail.
where meetings were conducted by
Happy Harry" Ottinger of Colorado
Springs, who conducted the meeting
on Larimer sheet Saturday night. AT
1920 in the morning the convention
sermon. "Our Country and Our Duties
Thereto was delivered by Bishop
Henry w. Warren.
Judge Lindsey, who addressed both
sessions of the convention yesterday
afternoon, arraigned the methods of
Treating juvenile offenders in vogue
In the police departments of the coun-
TRY He said. the first thing boy is
impressed with when he falls into the
clutches of the police is fear. and that
under it's influence he will lie and
probably be accused of doing things
he has never done, with the result
that when he is freed he is filed with
a feeling of resentmel: which leads
him to go back and do over again the
things for which he has been arrested.
Boys lie almost constantly in or
der to get out of scrapes." said Judge
Lindsey, "and they stick to their fab
rications, but on that account / do
not count them either liars or per-
jurers. Fear is what makes a boy
die. Self preservation is the first law
Of nature. Danish fear from the heart
of boy and you have him where you
want him.
Judge Lindsey then went on to give
the history of the worst case which
had ever come under his observation,
which was that of young man with
in two months Of the age when he
would be out Of the jurisdiction of the
juvenile court. This fellow was
skilled burglar. had been in jail eight
times, but never In the juvenile court.
and had made his escape twice, once
by means of skylight and the other
time through sewer.
The judge said he got hold Of this
boy and talked to him for two hours.
and finally decided not to send him
to the reformatory, though he said
ne was visited by delegation from
police headquarters who pointed out
to him the error OF his way in letting
the boy go. The Judge. however, had
his way, and said that the young man
had ever since led sober and honest
life
