CHANGE BENEFITS
G. r. & |. COMPANY

Denver, July S-John l.. Jerome, one
OF the directors of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company, who lately resigned
TO give place to Gould and Rockefeller
representatives, and who has always
Eeen prominently Identified with the
company, returned day OF two ago
from New York. Mr.. Jerome declined
to make a statement at the time Of his
return concerning the recent change in
the company's affairs, but later he
talked freely on the matters involved.
He said the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company was in no danger OF being
absorbed by the steel trust, nor was
there any danger of curtailment of
production or wholesale changes in
employees. He secuted the report of
removal of the companys general Of
fees to Pueblo, and paid high com
pliment to j. H. Clement. the new
chairman of the board of directors.
There is really nothing more to be
said about the management and policy
OF the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany than was contained in the full
publication authorized by the board of
directors at the meeting in New York
in June" said Mr.. Jerome. THE peo-
pie of Colorado can not but be reas-
sured by the knowledge that the policy
will be directed by prominent business
men who have valued the properties
of the company SO highly that they
have invested great sums in its securi-
ties because thoroughly convinced of
their value.
The same interests which control
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company
control the Denver & Rio Grande the
Missouri Pacific. the Rio Grande West
ern railways and other important
western enterprises. The growth of
the fuel company is a most important
factor in the advancement of these
interests "

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Governor Peabody Takes Action.

After halting between two opinions
for over ten days, says the Denver Re-
publican of July Bird, Governor Pea
body yesterday decided to take the ad-
wee OF attorneys. among whom. it is
said. is Attorney General Miller. and
remove Captain George w. Thatcher
from the Board of Worlds Fair Com
missioners. and to put an end to the
strife which has ragged in that body
ever since Mr.. Peabody assumed his
seat in the gubernatoral chair.
Van f. Rouse treasurer of the board,
has refused to issue checks for voush-
ers signed by the governor as president
of the board and the governor says he
has done everything in his power to as
sist Captain Thatcher in his fight
against the powers that be. For this
reason the governor has decided to re-
move Mr.. Rouse, as well as Mr.. Thatch-
er.
Both men were notified yesterday in
written communication that they
must appear before him at 10 O'Clock
Monday morning to show cause why
they should not be summarily re-
moved. 1t is said by those closest to
the governor that in giving the two
commissioners a hearing he is but fol-
lowing out the requirements OF the law,
and that whether they appear or not,
it is his present intention to remove
them.
Although the legislative act which
created the board does not provide for
removals. they will be made under the
constitutional provision which gives
the governor of the state power to re-
move any officer for misconduct income
potency or malfeaSance. Captain
Thatcher is to be removed for incom
potency and Mr. Rouse for misconduct
in refusing to honor the governors sig
nature, and so delaying the work of the
board.
Captain Thatcher received his sum
mons from the hands of Secretary
Wood. who handed it to him in the
Worlds Fair Board office, where, with
Miss Madigan. his stenographer and
sister-in-law. ne is defying the gov
ernOr and the other members of the
board to GUST him. He read the COM
munication and informed Mr. Wood
that there was no answer
Asked later if he would obey the
summons, he replied: Il have sent the
remarkable communication of the gov
ernor to my attorney, Mr.. Butler. If
he says for me to answer it, will go.
Otherwise, I'll see his excellency.
James H. Peabody, in hell first!"

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 27th
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 it was
decided to bring about legislative ac-
ton 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 it was decided that in
future all county judges shall be re-
CURED 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 di fer
ences 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 IS. 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 G. II. Lib
bey of Denver secretary. A committee
consisting OF Judges Kelsey, McCloud
and Pratt was appointed to draw up a
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 uniform set OF
blank forms should be used in all
county counts under the new probate
code. which goes into effect on July 8.
Blanks will also be prepared for use
under the new juvenile law. Judge
Joseph Mowitt was appointed to pre-
pare a set of rules to govern the prac-
tice and procedure in all county courts
of the state.

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 SO an acre.
In the past the land has rarely been
sold for over s. 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

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,
snch 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 a criminal or commit a crime.
Misdemeanors committed by children
under this age, he thought, were rare
1y- a1
the effects on children when confined
with older persons with trained Grim
inal instincts. and cited numerous in
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 super
intendent and matron. who should be
man and wife. and have sufficient edu-
cation to give the children in their
care 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
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
hers 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. lie
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
men in Colorado who allowed their
Attle to starve last wipter.
