The county commissioners were
here yesterday to make arrange
ments to have the east approach to
the river bridge fixed. As we un-
derstand 1t, the approach will be
taken out and a fill made with rock
walls on either side. This will be
much better than to maintain a
wooden approach.

Annual Report of Com
n1an0er of This Department
General Baldwin and Judge Advocate Dunn Urge Re-
establishment of Tho Canfeen

are not up TO the high standard main.
tanned in the past. In several cases
men have been discharged for con.
spicuous disability which should have
caused their rejection, The report
shows that In the engineering de-
partment great activity has been
maintained, The results have been
all that could be desired, Officers
and men have been trained and The
craft of map making and reading and
practice marches Of all troops In the
department have been often made
with this end in view The general
asks for more engineers in his de.
partment that instruction along these
lines may be more intelligent and
consequently more efficacious.
In the matter of small arms prac.
tice there Is a most urgent recommer'
dalton that some reward IN the mat
ter of increased pay be given TO the
soldier who is the best shot and that
there hould be classes divided and
paid accordingly.
In speaking of the condition OF the
Indians within the limits of this de.
partment Is about the same as dur
ing the past several years. With the
exception of a few instances where
individuals only have been involved,
they have been generally quiet. On
Sept. II, 1903, t%elegraphic instructions
were received from the war depart
ment to send a detachment from Fort
DeChesne to pursue a small party OF
White River Utes who had left the
Uintah and Ouray reservation, headed
for the Black Hills. A detachment
was promptly sen out, and the In
dams were soon overtaken and re
turned to the agency.
"In December, 1908, at the request
of the agent at Zuni agency, New
Mexico, and by direction Of the wal
department, a detachment was sen
from Fort Wingate to that place t.
maintain order during the annua
Shaleco dance. On Jan. y the agen'
at Zuni again called for assistance
in arresting Indians who had intro
duced liquor into the village. a small
detachment under Lieut.. Cooley, Fiftl
cavalry, was sent to the agency il
response to this request"

Brig. Gen. Frank d. Baldwin, com.
handing the Department Of the Colo
RADIO which includes New Mexico,
has submitted to the department and
the general staff his annual report,
1t is OF interest to note that the ELI
mination of the canteen as a part OF
the post Is most severely condemned
by the officers in general. Lieut..
Col, Dunn, judge advocate Of the de-
partment, asks that IL be re~-establish-
ed as an instrument for the moral i'm
provement Of the men. The judge
advocate reports 2,i4S trials by sum-
mary court martials and 1888 deser-
lions reported, with but Al detected
and apprehended. Referring to this
large increase the judge advocate
says:
"These desertions can in a large
measure be attributed to the malign
influences of the saloons and brothels
situated neal the reservation, seduct-
ing the enlisted men from the paths
of decency. This is only another Of
the many arguments in favor of res
toring to the army the c%anteen, which
provided places Of amusement and
social intercourse where men could
get refreshments under restraining
and orderly influences"
The general adds to this:
II fully concur in these views and
trust that the sale of beer and light
wines, under proper restrictions, may
again be authorized in the post ex-
change. If the men are unable to OBJ
tain a glass of beer in a decent and
orderly manner in the garrison, they
will resort to the vile brothels which
cluster around the borders of the res
ervation where they drink all man
ner of alcoholic beverages and often
sink into %debauchery and ruin"

the men in the department was slight
ly improved over that Of last year

Graft Cases Not Likely to Be Tried

Milwaukee, Dec. 20.-Although the
State Senator Barney A. Eaton bribery
cases by quick and unexpected bounds
forward reached point where trial on
the merits was imminent, and although
the Rudolph case was to come up for
jury trial yesterday, there will be no
graft case trials before the new year.
Senator Eaton's three cases may not
come up until after the legislature is
through with its work. Continuances
were granted in each instance.
The surprise of the day in Judge
Tarrant's court was the speed with
which the indictments advanced TO
trials on merits, compared to previous
trials. Every motion in abatement
and all other obstacles of legal ia.
ture were removed within the short

AL|MOKY BEFORE
BANKRUPT LAW
NOT A DODGE TO ESCAPE WIFE
AND CHILDREN.
NEW YORKER DEFEATED
Went Through Bankruptcy and Claim
ed Immunity from Divorced Wife's
Judgment for $1,000 a Year-Pur,
pose of the Law Declared to Be
Beneficent.

Washington, Dec. 20.--In the case
of w. b. Wetmore against Mrs. A. 3
Marlloe, the United States supreme
court yesterday held that an obiga-
ton to pay alimony and allowance to
a vile and children is not in the ma
ture Of an Ordinary debt and therefore
cannot be discharged in bankruptcy.
Mrs. Markoe is the remarked former
Vile OF Wetmore.
The proceedings were instituted in
1900 in the supreme court OF New York
by Netmore to enjoln all proceedings
to compel payment OF alimony and al
Iowdnces, amounting to $4,000 per an
mum, growing out OF divorce proceed
ings in 1892, on the ground that he
mao taken advantage OF the bankrupt
law. The state court denied the
prayer and yesterdays opinion affirm
ed that decision 1t was delivered by
Justice Day, who said:
The bankruptcy law should receive
such Interpretation as VIII effectuate
its hnneilcent purposes and not make
il an instrument to deprive a Deepen
dent ,,lle and children of the support
aid maintenance due them from the
husband and father, which it has ever
been the purpose of the law to Ell
force. Systems OF bankruptcy are de
signed to relieve the honest debtor
uum the weight of Indebtedness which
has become oppressive and to permit
him to have a fresh start in business
or commercial life, freed from the
original Obligations and responsible
ties which may have resulted from
business misfortunes. Unless posi-
lively required by direct enactment,
the courts should not presume de
gn upon the part Of congress in re
