WANTED-AB BIT
OF LITIGATION
AGAINST COUNTY

ooh, bell boy! win you please
page someone to sue the county
.of Bernalillo, New MeXieov
County commissioners are actu-
ally paging a number Of people to
see if one of them won't sue the
county! It's fact--and the COM
missioncrs know they'll lose the
ease and have to spend about
$4,000.
This is a new phase of the law
and indicates where the country
is drifting in this period of reform.
Probably this is the first time since
the adoption of the present laws
based upon the various codes of
ancient and present times-name-
~ the code of Draco, the law
giVer; the strict code of Hammur-
abb, the RhOdian code, the code
Uustinian, the dual moral code, the
code Napoleon and the codificatiOn
of the laws of the state of New
Mexico, that anyone has wanted to
pay anyone sc badly that they
wanted to be sued for it-espeCial-
ly when they know the defendants
will win the legal battle. In fact,
it was indicated that there would
be no battle-the county will
throw up the sponge as soon as the
gauge Of conflict is thrown into the
district court in the way of a legal
petition.
This unprecedented state of at
fairs comes about through q rather
simple manner The county had
to send back claims of about $S,
600 worth of its creditors last year
without enclosing a check with the
claim. The claims were simply
marked with the words, mo
Funds" in red ink. Claimants have
not been able to buy oil stocks or
shares in the hotel with this means
of payment, so the commissioners
want some one of the creditors to
start an action asking that the
county be allowed to pay its 1920
debts out of its 1921 resources.

of weeds through the administra-
ton of the various boards of re-
gents and presidents up to the pres
ent day, when the university seems
at last to be on Its feet, and to have
achieved an enviable position IN
every way. Miss Parsons has been
on the faculty longer than any
other member; since the beginning
in fact.
The meeting of the club was held
at the College Inn, some thirty
members being present Copies of
the constitution will be placed

LECTURER IS
NOT WELCOMED
To DUKE CITY

Officials of the Chamber Of Com
merce were astounded yesterday to
find that, according to the Kansas
! City Star, they had issued Clara
Smith Hamon an invitation to de-
/ liver a lecture to Announcements
at the high school building--and
/ that she had accepted and was
coming here.
"Why, / didn't even know she
was a lecturer" H. b. watkins OK
claimed as he read the article in
/ the star"
I According TO the clipping from
/ the Star dated April /, Clara Smith
! Hamon was expecting to leave Ard
more, Okla, where she was freed
by the jury of the charge of killing
Jake HamOn, millionaire oil mag
mate, and was going to Los Angeles
to start her career as movie ac-
tress.
"Shc said she will stop in Albu-
quecque, New Mexico" the article
stated. Having been invited TO
deliver a lecture there at the high
school by the secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce.
"She accepted the invitation on
the understanding that half of the
proceeds should so to the poor of
that city"
Some Press Agent,
| CLARA Smith Hamon may have a
good press agent" Secretary Wat
kins exclaimed, but she can't get
away with that kind of publicity ct
the expense of Albuduerque "
AS soon as Secretary Watkins
sufficiently recovered his poise to
dictate in language fit to print. he
sent the following wire to j. 3.
Houston. of Ardmore, Okla who
had sent him the clipping of thf,
Kansas City Star:
! J. r. Houston, Ardmore. Okla;
Letter and newspaper clipping
! received. Newspaper. report is al
solute falsehood and Clara Smith
Hamon would not even be received
lat the albuquerque Chamber Of
Commerce let alone be allowed to
lecture. albuquerque is a live,
wide awake city and never loses
her self respect insofar as to stoop
! for cheap publicity of this kind. In
form your papers that Clara Smith
Hamon would be persona, non
grata here
A wire was also sent to the Kan
sas City Star asking whore they got
their information regarding the in
vitation to Clara Smith Hamon and
informing them that they were a
thousand miles from the truth.
