God the passage of Senate bill raising
the bonds of county auditors, from
$4,000 to $4,000 in the County of Ha-

thorize certain public officials to des-

bill to define and regulate the treat
ment and control of dependents, the
Judiciary Committee says:
The object of the bin is to take
children out of the regular police
courts so that they will not have to
associate with hardened criminals.
thus giving the child who has a ten

such juvenile courts have been estab-

value and many children have been
reformed"

the Treasurer, subject to the consent
of the GOernor,to grant charters or
incorporation for cemetery assocra-
tions, as well as charter other corpor-

On House bill To amend the Jury
law, Of which it recommends the pass
age, the Judiciary Committee re-
marks:
The law follows the Massachusetts
law and instead of making trial by
jury obligatory on parties unless they
file waiver, makes it optional with
the parties concerned whether they
have jury trial or not
Such an act would be a great saw
ing to the Territory as a large number
of cases that now go to the jury would
go into the jury waived list"

solution be laid on the table to be
considered with the appropriation bill. "
