COURT REFORMS PLANNED.

Two important bills concerning the
city and municipal courts of Vermont
have been prepared at the attorney
generals office, to be introduced in the
legislature by the judiciary committee.
They have been prepared along lines of
needs which have been recognized by
attorneys, judges and others, and are
designed to enlarge the powers of these
courts, make their jurisdiction uniform,
relieve the congestion of the county
courts, save expense to the state and,
withal, facilitate Justice The changes
contemplated have been advocated for
some time by Judge w. r. Daley of the
Brattleboro municipal court. One con-
Germs criminal matters and one civn
matters.
Section / of the bill relating to GRIM
inal matters reads:
Each municipal and each city court
shall have jurisdiction to try and finally
determine prosecutions for all misie-
meanors and for felonies wherein the
maximum penalty of Imprisonment does
not exceed five years in the state pris-
on, committed within the county in
which such court is situated, and shall
commit to Jail or bind over with suf-
hcient sureties for trial by county court
persons charged with crime exceeding
the jurisdiction of municipal and city
courts to try and finally determine. No
appeal shall be allowed from the jujg-
ment of a municipal or city court in a
prosecution"
1t provides that city and municipal
courts shall have jurisdiction to try and
finally determine prosecutions for VIOLA
tions of city or village ordinances within
the county and to render judgment and
pass sentence on a plea of guilty in pro-
secutions for felonies. They are given
the same powers as county courts in en-
forcing judgments. The place of trial
shall be wherever the court directs
court Parties shall be entitled to a
by jury of IL men. Exceptions on ques-
tions of law may be taken direct to the
supreme court, but not to the county
court.
In civil matters the city or municipal
court is given jurisdiction to try and fin
ally determine all actions of law where
in the matter in demand does not ex-
ceed 5000, and no appeal shall lie from
the judgment of a municipal or city
court. Parties shall be entitled to a tria
by jury of II, unless a smaller number
is stipulated by them. In all civil cases
before a justice of the peace an appea
shall lie to the city or municipal court
The expense to the state of trying
cases in county court is 500 or more
| day. The expense to the state
in city and municipal courts, II
addition to the present expense of thos,
courts, would be comparatively small
| under the proposed law.

Mrs. Wheeler came to Greeley in

OF the newly organized Roosevelt

Gu 'h"N committee OF progressives,
"no ieIehtly effected a state organi-
Ialiol ~ a meeting in Denver, will
invade weld county and other north
cru NuloTado districts in the inter
ests o. the movement.
IL HEeeley they are liable to meet
with hearty reception, as the in
sureeit movement has been growing
steaaiiy The standpatters compris-
ing the present county organization
may be inclined to throw cold water
on Inc Roosevelt boom, but they are
con,ronted with some startling
facts. Not the least significant thing
about the new movement is that the
Two state committeeman OF the re-
puDllcaH party from Weld county
nave come out openly for Roosevelt.
These are Charles Davis and j. c..
Ewing. Their names appear in the
call Issued by the Roosevelt republi-
! cans Tor the organization.
Then there is liable to be some
trouble in the ranks of the insur-
gents on account of the state or
ganization being effected first. A,
| this meeting in Denver a committee
man for each county in the state
| was named. Weld county is repre-.
| sented by II. E. Churchill. He is the
authorized Weld county committee
man of the progressives and it is
generally known that some of the
| leaders in the Roosevelt organization
here do not favor Mr.. Churchill as
| committeeman. Hence the peculiar
| situation is that while the progress

the standpatters they may have
| trouble within their own ranks be

DR.. Snyder Tells
Teachers of the
City of Thinking

Thinking and Learning to Think"
was the subject of "A mastery ad-
dress given to the teachers of the
public schools Monday afternoon by
DR.. Z. y. Snyder of the State Teach
ers' college.
The lecture was given in the
course of professional study arrang-
ed during the year for the teachers
OF the cshool by Supt. C. e. Carter.
The teachers have been studying
THINKING, a book by DR.. Schaef-
fer, superintendent OF schools of
Pennsylvania.
DR.. Snyder made a three fold
classification of his subject. He
gave the first process as confused
thinking, or thinking OF things as
wholes. Later clear thinking is de-
veloped, which separates the wholes
into parts and then step in ad-
vance is scientific thinking which re-
suits in classifying separate wholes.
DR.. snyder gave the rather re-
markable thought of German.
Liebnit2. who says that thinking is
a physical process. giving as a
proof that when the brain dies there
is no thinking.

KIDS AND
DYNAMITE
IN m|XUP

Why half dozen small boys OF
Greeley are not in eternity today is
a mystery that will never be solved.
Their parents are breathing sighs OF
relief and the youngsters themselves
have registered a vow never again
to play with dynamite.
The police have recovered thirty
sticks of the dangerous explosive,
which will be thrown in the river.
One youngster told what he knew,
which resulted in the discovery that
the boys had found a quantity of the
explosive and had been secretly
playing with it, Last night they
expected to touch off the sticks to
have some fire works. The stuff
was taken by the police before the
fire ,orks and probable end of the
boys came of.
The boys found the dynamite in a
cave in the bluffs of the Clayton
brick yard, north Of the CITY Sunday
afternoon. They took possession
and played with 1t Sunday night.
They tried to set 1t of at that time.
but the stuff was frozen solid, which
fact probably saved the lives OF the
entire bunch.
Last night the youngsters had
planned big celebration. but one
Of their number got nervous and re-
ported the find. The police were
notified and found the stuff hidden
in coal house near Sixth avenue
and Fifteenth street. 1t was re-
turned to the Clayton Lumber COM
pany.
Some OF the mothers Of the boys
nearly tainted when they learned
what their sons had been doing. 1t
ia believed that had the celebration
taken place as planned last night
every youngster engaged would have
been blown to pieces.

NO joke
he SAYS
OF THIS

vigilance committee, such az
made evil doers walk IA chalk line in
the good old days Il generation ago.
is being talked in Greeley.
The matter was first regarded In
the light OF a joke, but it is now said
to be a serious proposition. The
committee, it is understood, is to
organize ior the especial purpose of
cleaning out the bootleggers that
seem to thrive in spite of the most
strenuous efforts OF the police de-
partment.
For weeks a standing reward Of
$50 for conviction has been offered
by the city of Greeley for bootleg
gers Dozens of arrests and convic-
tions have resulted. but the crop
seems to thrive in spite of all that
can be done. The reward caused the
police to be given some information.
but in other cases 1t proved the un-
doing of the man VINO furnished the
information. In one instance, it il
said. an informer left Greeley be-
tween two days and is afraid to come
back. He has been gone for several
weeks and expects to send for his
family The reward system, as q
whole, has failed to do all that 1t
was figured it would.
The first talk of the vigilance COM
mittee was taken as a joke but the
chief of police insists that the or
ganiZation is far from being joke.
but on the contrary will be the real
| thing in doing away with the illegal
sale of liquor in the city.
No names are announced. and It
is not known how many will be in
the new organization, but it is said
that there will be something doing
when it begins business, which will
| be within few days.
