A JUVENILE COURT
IS PROPOSED FOR
ALBUQUERQUE
IDEA STRONGLY URGED BY
WELL KNOWN CITIZENS
Passes a Law Establish
ing Special Tribunals for Her
Youthful Offenders - New
Mexico Should be Next,

"What this city needs to solve its
bad boy troubles SO prevent incorrig-
iblc youths from becoming habitual
criminals Is a juvenile court, said q
well known Albuquerque attorney yes
terday.
The idea has been widely discussed
among citizens lately n there IS a
general opinion that the establish
ment of such a court would be a good
thing for Albuquerque. Texas has
passed a law providing for such
courts and El Paso expects To have ono
running full blast in a short time;
Rev. j. G. Rollins of the Methodist
church and other ministers are cor
daily in favor of the plan and that
there is pressing need for "A juvenile
tribunal in this city Is too parent 70
need repetition. There IS a large
and rapidly increasing class of boys
and some girls brought up under adj
verse conditions or whose parents sim
ply neglect to train them. As has
been proven in numerous arrests of
boys made lately, many of these are
hardened young offenders who become
onlY the more hardened If they are
locked up with adults, plain DRINKS
and hoboes and others, association
with whom for even a short time may
easily ruin a lad of - or Is years.
The juvenile court has solved the
problem elsewhere and has been a
conspicuous success wherever the eN-
pertinent has been tried. The El Paso
News prints the following from Wash
ington on the subject.
Probably few persons outside OF
Texas are more enthusiastic about or
interested in the law establishing ~
Texas juvenile courts, than Judge VIII
liam De Lacey OF the juvenile cour of
the District of Columbia.
Judge De Lacey was n of the first
promoters of the juvenile court idea
and has attained a wide reputation in
his endeaVors to cause still further
his appointment to the bench of the
juvenile court of the District of Co
lumbia. a marked Improvement in the
conditions surrounding child life
among the OoreT classes has resulted
and day by day it grows more pro-
nounCcd.
Mr.. DE Lacey believes that one in
position cannot justly deal with
problems with which he has to
contend unless he Is thoroughly ia
miliar with the classes which appear
before him. To obtain his desired in
and to familiarlze himself
with the condition surrounding the
life of the child of the poorer classes,
makes It a point to frequently visit
places as the galleries of the
cheaper thcaters and to carefully eX-
anime the crowds which one sees on
streets I'm the thickly populated To-
at night.
Judge De Lacey fully recognizes the
IN portancc of the creation of the law J
In the Lone star state which will cause
establishment of %juYcnile courts.

your poor father must have suffered
when in 1869 the Boston & Proyi.

with typographical emphasis. that
the running time between Boston and

country. The railway dignitary was
returning alone from fishing expedi-

gage of various kinds.
The porter at this station proved a
perfect paragon and waited upon the
traveller with the utmost possible no.
likeness. He Immediately gathered al
together all the travellers traps and
said that he would look after them
we'll until the departure of the branch
train, when he would see that thew

impressed with the porter's alacritv
and courtesy, the manager handed
him a fairly good tip. which was ac-
cepted with expressions of gratitude
and evident pleasure. After a little
while the official went up to the porter
and introduced a conversation.
Il say. my man, do you happen to
know. who amp" he inquired.
Indeed. 1 don't sir; 1 haven't the
slightest idea" was the reply.
