LEA SURRENDERS

DismissalS Mark Last Court
of Retiring Recorder
Saturday Afternoon.

''Adios libro viejo Vd fiene muches
stories de pena y difficultades Tom
Lea, 4-15-11. Good morning, Mr..
Pool"
Goodbye. old book, you have many
stories of punishment and difficulties"
This inscription greeted judge Adrian
Pool when he opened the court docket
in the corporation court this morning.
1t was Tom Lea's farewell to the po-
lice court after four years of service,
for during that time he had occupied
the bench and had seen many stories.
Tom Lea will be missed from the
police court, for although a young man,
he evidenced a peculiar fitness for this
position where a man must have a
good understanding of human nature
and the law of the land must not al
ways fall too heavily on the unfor-
tunate ones who are arraigned, even
when they are guilty for in many in
stances heavy fines work hardships.
When Lea first took office he set
a rule that a man who assaulted a
woman, no matter what her character
or color, he should be fined not : less
than $25, and to that rule he stuck to
the last He was lenient with the hard
working man, down on his luck, but
severe with the professional vagrant.
With thildren he was ever kind and
considerate. treated them always as
children, and though his reprimands
were sometimes severe, they were new
er harsh. He presumed a man innocent
until he was proved guilty and melted
out justice in a manner which won for
him the esteem and the friendship Of
those who came in contact with him.
On the last day of his work in the
police court Lea was gentle, kind and
lenient
Jesus Garcia, charged with driving a
with the advice that he should secure
a license. Luis Viena and Gregorio
SOcio, the former II and the latter 13
years of age, were arraigned on
charges of taking scrap iron from the
foundry. They. were cautioned that it
was wrong to steal, and were dis
missed.
Gilberto Martinez, charged with be-
ing drunk and disturbing the peace
was dismissed, Jose Alvadran and Jim
White, charged with disturbing the
peace, were dismissed
Robert Lewis, arraigned on charges
of reckless driving, exceeding the
speed limit and not having plain num-
Der On the back of his automobile was
dismissed. He stated as did several wit
nesses that the accident which started
a runaway at the corner of Oregon and
San Antonio Streets Friday at 6 D m,
was unavoidable, because he could not
turn to the right side of the street on
account of cars blocking his way, and,
therefore he had to turn to the left

POSTOFFICE CAN'T
GET A LOCATION
Nobody in Las Cruces Will
ing to Comply With Gov
eminent Ideas.

Las Cruces, N NJ, April 17.-Some
time ago the postoffice department adj
vertised for bids for a new room for
the accommodation of the Las Cruces
postoffice, its business having increased
to such an extent that the present
quarters are inadequate in size. Owing
to the fact that the government re-
quires the putting in of light, heat,
closets and furniture, which will
amount to an expenditure on the part
of the lessee of at least $500, and also
owing to the fact that while the de-
partment takes a five year lease, 1T
at the same time reserves the right to
cancel the lease on SO days notice, no
one in Las Cruces has been willing to
go to the necessary expense in fitting
up a room. Consequently the postoffice
here Is cramped for room and otherwise
hindered from doing the business with
the despatch they would like.
