of good things to eat. The gentle
men were first seated at the table
and it was announced that the
dinner would be served in Denver
style. AS the ladies brought in
course after course serving to each
guest a very meager portion it
dawned upon the men folks that
there was much more style than
dinner. When the popcorn was

dinner, a polite howl of protest
arose and Denver style was side

Warren F. Wilcox has jumped
into national prominence through
his criticism of New Mexico poll
tics. At sensational meeting of
the senate committee on territories
in Washington last Saturday
charges of corruption were made
by former Gov. Hagerman and
others against certain officials and
leaders of what was termed the
ring which is in control of politi-
cal affairs in New Mexico" There
was read a letter also from w. F.
Wilcox, former newspaper man
of Santa Fe, who asserted that his
life had been threatened and that
he believed the threat would have
been carried out had he not left
the territory. The committe arose
as one man and left the room with
out comment or making any ar
rangements for another meeting
and so ended New Mexico and
Arizona's hopes for statehood this
year. Wilcox is New York col
lege man who broke down while
pursuing his studies and came to
La Jara about two years ago for
his health. While here he worked
at teaming and shoveling coal for

situation as reporter on the

Special Correspondence TO The Press
TOLEDO, March 15.-It was a
banquet of laughter and of tears.
1t was feast shared in good fell

victims of misfortune.
II was an event that practiced
the divine theory of the forgive

/ twas a brilliant scene wherein
brotherly, love was flaming torch
that dissipated the shadows of
modern cynicism and wherein
every mans inherent good was APP
praised at it's full value.
Such, indeed, was the banquet
that James Austin, ir., judge of the
Toledo police court, gave to some
60 guests. among whom were po-
lice court officers, members of the
ministerial association, city coun-
cilmen and paroled prisoners, men
and women, black and white,

Tony Nasse, keeper of an unpre-
tentious eating house near the po-
lice station, served the dinner,
which had been arranged by Judge
Austin to encourage police court
probationers to the spirit of right
living The only decoration in the
banquet room was picture of the
late Samuel Jones, Toledo's famous

Gods great law to city government
and whose spirit lives and still
shines brightly.

eat with your knives there is no
objection. Just enjoy yourselves,
and above all make yourselves at

at ease, and for upward of an hour
pleasant, wholesome chatter
sounded over the rattle of the
dishes. The Judge and Rev. Alex
Ander laughed merrily at Mickey
Doyle's smart sallies. Mickey

son gang" an organization of boys
that has caused the police much
trouble within the last few years
by their petty depredations.

laughed at his words.
The time came for toasts. Judge
Austin referred to his guests as

made some mistakes. he said, but
that was human, and because a
man has made a mistake 1t does
not necessitate his making another
And when people know how much
better 1t is to be true to themselves
and to society there is no desire to
break the law and temptation may
be overcome.
The Judge took his guests into
his confidence In regard to a class
Of citizens who were opposing him
politically because of the proba
tion system. There are some men
and women in Toledo, and some
very respectable men and women
who believe that Judge Austin is
TOO lenient with law violators.
They believe In no mercy for the
man or woman who breaks the
rules OF society. Many Of these
obiecting citizens live in fine
homes amid comfortable sur
Eoundings. They have enough to
eat. they have congenial compan
tonship. they enjoy the ease OF
