FIGHT FOR UNTAINTED -.,..>~
JURY NOT YET WON

TRINIDAD, COL, Sept. 7.-Renom-
ination Of CRANKY Hillyer for judge of
the Third judicial district indicates
that the fight for an untainted judici-
ary in this state is not yet Won. Judge
Hlillyer was formerly attorney. for the
coal operators and was appointed by
Governor Carlson to his present posi-
tion, which was created by the last
legislature. Judge Hillyers heard
many Of the miners cases but the
workers finally secured an order from
the state supreme court debarring
him from further consideration of
these cases.
Judge Hillyer's sentence of life-im-
prisonment for John r. Lawson was
set aside by the state supreme court
and that unionist has been released
on bail pending a new trial. When
asked, if he had anything to say why
sentence should not be pronounced,
Lawson denounced Judge Hillyer' and
his hand-picked jury, composed of
coal company partisans.

Series of Meetings.
Series of section meetings were
held for the discussion Of problems
connected with (1) law in it's rela-
tion to the: child; (2) psyhochology;

hygiene; (6) industrial legislation;
and CD aid to mothers and children.
A synopsis Of each paper read before
these section meetings, together with
a. brief summary of the conclusions
reached by the author, was required
to be submitted in advance to the ex-

conclusions were then printed in. the
form Of a papmphelt and distributed

Society Turns Out to Gaze
at Champions.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22-With some
1.7OO nominations and 2,5S4 entries. the
annual Westminster Kennel Club show
opened today at Madison Square Gar
den TO continue through Friday. All
New York society folks flocked to the
Garden to look at the best dogs OF all
breeds to be found in the country.
Probably the most notable arrival was
when the terriers from Mrs. Roy A.
Rainey's Conejo Kennels and George
Quintard's wire-haired fox terriers came
from Long Island In big motor vans.
The aggregate value of these dogs was
said to be not less than $4,000, and
the various specimens were admired by
a big crowd as they were taken from
their crates and benched. II II believed
by many experts that a terrier and
probably q wire-haired fox terrier will
be declared best dog In the show and
when the Quintard, Coneto, and Vickery
dogs were benched a throng crowded
around the various specimens to COM
pare them and try to pick the one
which would be favored by the judges.
The Boston terrier section also was a
busy place, and when the entries from
Mrs. George Il. Dresser's kennel at
Thompson, Conn.,, which included the
$500 purchase Champion Trimount Ro-
man and Champion Yankee Spider the
attention for the time was diverted TO
the little American dog.
