LINDSEY BEFORE HOUSE
Denver Juvenile Judge Tells Kansas
Legislature His Views

Judge Ben Lindsey. of the Denver
Juvenile court, made a 1O-minute
speech to the Kansas house of repre-
sentatives this morning. Judge Lind
sey urged the Kansas legislature to
pass the contributory negligence act,
and an act giving probate courts the
right to try misdemeanor cases.
Robert Stone of Shawnee called it to
the attention of the house that Judge
Lindsey was in the hall. and the house
invited him to make a speech. Judge
est1y, and the house applauded his re-
marks. He said in part:
1.-THE contributory negligence act
makes anyone who contributes to the
negligence of a boy responsible. If a
boy is found running on the railroad
tracks, we don't arrest the boy, but
we bring in the parents. We place the
responsibility on the home and the
parents. If the parents do not attend
to this, then the state must step in.
The Juvenile court law is not entirely
effective without the contributory
negligence law.
81 have actually fined a father $25
for telling obscene stories in the pres
ence of his son, because it sets a bad
example to the boy.
I'VE have the probation system as
well as the parole law. Some laws are
so severe that they nullify themselves.
y
crime, but 1T is so severe that juries
will not send a young man to the
penitentiary because they thought the
girl was just as bad. So we convict
crime.
you pass a law providing proba-
ton for first offenses and you will find
that many prosecutions are brought
into court which otherwise would
never be punished.
''The object of laws. is after all, to
reclaim and bring back to righteous
ness the young men and young women.
1t is possible to abuse any good law,
but we must trust to human nature.
hope the state of Kansas will i'm
prove the Juvenile court law by pass
ing the contributory negligence act.
You ought to give the probate courts
the right to try misdemeanors. and
then the juvenile court can handle the
child and the adult as we'll"

CAN'T GET ATTENTION.
Man With Smallpox Is Neglected by
Authorities.

An unknown stranger has been sick
with smallpox for two days at the
home of T. P. Newell, at No. 1914
Kansas avenue, and although in
critical and serious condition MI
Newell charges has been unable to
secure the needed attention from
either the city or county authorities
who are supposed to act in cases of
this nature.
Mr.. Newell today stated that the
man came to his house two or three
days ago and asked for work. He put
the stranger to work, but the man
was shortly after taken sick. He is
now in one of the rooms of Mr..
NewelTs house, ana Mr. Newell states
that he does not even know the mans
name.

not give the case any attention. 1

Shoulder Broken and Otherwise In

John Nelson of 419 Tyler street. one OF

Mr.. Nelson had been to the sand DIP on
the river bank at the foot of Harrison
street, and in driving away his horse be
came frightened anad ran away: There
were no witnesses to the start of the ar
fair and the first that was known or II
was when the horse dashed south on Har-
rison street with Mr.. Nelson between the
bed of the buggy and the wheels with his
head dragging on the pavement -,
Mr. Nelson in this position the horse
broke away from the buggy and Mr.. Mel
son was rescued from his perilous position
and taken to DR. Keith's hospital, where
1t was found that his left shoulder and
hand, as well as three ribs on the right
side are broken. His head and face are
badly bruised and the chances are that
he has suffered internal injuries, which
make the case all the more serious when
it is considered that Mr.. Nelson is past 60
wears of age.

will go by way of Kansas City where
he will spend tomorrow in conference
with George Tebeau in regard to his
offer of the management of Louisville
club of the American association.
Just where Dick himself will play is
not as yet known, even to himself. He
has been offered the management of
the Louisville club. but has not yet ac-
cepted the offer. And this he will not

afternoon.

certain that Cooley will go to Louls-

tempt to secure several more good
players for the Topeka team. If he
goes to Louisville he will be In a po-

He told of mis- appointment as judge
of the Juvenile court of Denver some
eight or nine years ago and charac-
terized it as an act of divine Provi-
dence though it was expected that ne
would be succeeded at the next cleo
ton by some one in line of promotion.
Then came the battle for election to
the place which he has so successful
~ filled since that time and the cam
paign of his boys" against the poll
ticians and the defeat of the latter.
Then the reforms he had dreamed of
commenced and since then they have
been many finally triumphing with the
splendid juvenile court law which is
in operation in many of the larger
cities of the country.
The old system and the new were
contrasted. Boys who formerly were
sent to reformatories or to jails to
mingle with old and hardened GRIMM
ais are now turned over to the juve-
nile court and in most instances be-
come good men. Nor does the jul
venile court deal alone with the boys
for the naughty sisters of some of these
boys find their way to the city courts
early in life.

LONG DIDN'T DRAW IT.
Representative Rochester's Apportion
ment Bill Starts Things.

Rochester's legislative reapportion-
ment bill precipitated a fight in the
house this afternoon.
When the bill came up Hendricks
moved that the bill be sent back to the
committee on legislative apportion-
ment for further consideration. Ro-
chester seconded the motion.
The motion was defeated by a de-
cisive vote.
Stannard of Lyon moved that the
committee recommend that the enact
ing clause be stricken out.
Mr.. Rochester then spoke in defense
of his bill. He denied that Chester
Long had drawn the bill, or that it
was drawn in the interests of Long.
The sentiment of the house seems
to be against the Rochester bill.

Remarks Mede by English People
Who Did Not Mean Any Harm.

The conduct of Gov. Swettenham. OF

''They are constantly doing things

TRIED TO BRIBE SHERIFF
Says He Was Offered $50 to Accept
Straw Bond for Robert Pigg.

Suit was filed by Robert Pigg this
morning against Sheriff Wilkerson for
$500 which that official has possession
of as a bond for the appearance of
Pigg for trial for violating the pro-
hibitory law. Pigg was arrested on
the 22d day of January charged with
being the proprietor of the Canadian
club, a disreputabIe joint between
Third and Fourth street on Kansas
avenue, one evening about 10 O'Clock,
and not liking the prospects of spend
ing the night in jail placed $500 in the
hands of the sheriff for his appear
ance.
Since then Pigg has experienced a
change of heart and wants to get pos
session of the money which has been
turned over to the clerk of the district
court by the sheriff, and has made a
number of offers with that in view.
The county attorney and sheriff feel
more sure of his appearance with
cash bond up for his appearance and
are fighting against releasing the
money.
Sheriff Wilkerson says he was APP
preached since the controversy has
been on by Aaron Pigg, a brother or
the plaintiff in the suit filed this morn
ing, with the suggestion that Robert
Pigg be allowed to give straw bond
and then leave the city. This ofer not
appealing to the sheriff, he says Pigg
called him aside and offered him 500
if he would accept such a bond, saying
by way of justification that he was
anxious to get his brother out or the
city as he was always getting into
trouble of some kind 1t is needless
to say that this offer of Aaron Pigg
was not considered and that 1T but in

HAPGOOD GETS A STAY.
Court of Appeals Will Hear COntrO-

Judge Carver, who was attorney for
Hapgood in the Hapgood-Berry land
controversy, a suit over possession of
certain lands in Marion and Chase
counties, has just returned from St
Louis. where he secured stay of pro-
ceedings from the United States court
of appeals.
When the case reached the United
States circuit court, Judge Pollock
gave a verdict in favor of Berry. He
then held up the deeds and granted
Hapgood ten days in which to get a
hearing before the court of appeals.
The original controversy was over
the sale of 1000 acres of land owned
Jointly by Hapgood and Berry. Hap
good was not satisfied with the results
and the suit followed.
