JUDGE STARTS HOT.
 DEBATE BY GIVING. UNIQUE DECISION.
Brings the Question of Birth Control Into the Famous Denver Juvenile
 Court
By JAMES A. STUART


 Copyright, 1891. by The AFe-Heraldb
 Denver, Col, December 3.-Judge Royal R. Graham, sitting in Denver juvenile court in the absence of Judge Ben Lindsey, has not only set Colo rado in a white-hot debate on a most efficacious method of birth control, but has received, numerous threats of bodily injury from the Italian colony of this city because it was re- ported that he had ordered the sterilization of Mrs. Clyde Cossi- dente, who was haled into court for failure to take care of her five chil- dren-all of them under eight years of age.
 Judge Graham denies that he ever contemplated directing such an op eration without the consent of both the woman and her husband. One phase of the storm which has broken out is demand by some to know if in this instance the sauce for the goose should not also be sauce for the gan der. However, Mir. Cossidente is close to 50 years old, while Mrs. Cos sidente Is only half that age, and declared her intention Of bearing just as many children as she can. Mrs. Cossidente planes all her troubles on "too many welfare workers" She says she couldn't keep them out of her house. And although the medical attorneys for the Cossidentes. and two poets she has the mind of a child, she does not hesitate to express that mind in very emphatic terms against her tormentors.
 
 ing an order against Mrs. Cossidente taking some of her children away from her unless she should consent to the operation, that Italian mother is taking no chances as to the future, and visit to her home today dis closed the place carefully cleaned and in order and the children with their faces washed.
 The case is now in the hands of a committee of three, J. A. c. Reynolds, attorney for the Cossidents, and two women workers. who are to report conditions in the house on January 1e, when Judge Graham will decide whether it is necessary to take the children.
 MT Cossidente, the somewhat sub merged father In the proceedings, says he supports his family on an income which varies from $40 to s200 a month. the months being lean or fat according to the vicissltudes of his fortune as a notary public, inter- preter and real estate agent. He says he pays but $7 a month rent for his extremely modest seven-room home, located in very undesirable situation near the South Platte river.
 Sterilization of Mrs. Cossidente was suggested by Judge Graham in i. ! l. |. Al by a witness, Ray Sunderland, senior medical student In the University of Colorado. who attended Mrs. Cossi- dente at the birth of her last baby. Sunderland declared today that he has talked the matter over with Cos sidente and that Cossidente has given l his consent.

GOVERNMENT GETS FAT
 ON PASSPORT CHARGES

Washington, Decemper 3.-tSpe- cial.)-The United States govern ment. during 1921. got fat" as re- suit of the Issuance of passports Its revenue from this source was S1,420.- 7S5, 1t Is learned at the state depart ment today.
 Prior to the war scarcely any charge in excess of small fee ac companying applications was de- manded. But when the war came and the government desired to check all foreign travel 1t secured the enact ment of statutes under which 1t could charge $9 for each passport, this in addition to a Sl application fee.
 Americans continued to travel But the high-water mark was reached in 1921 The receipts indicate that any effort in Congress to. return to the pre-war charges will fall. The exist ing charges entail no burden that those able to travel are not able to bear, it is pointed out.

 221-2 First National Bank Building

z 221 2 First National Bank Building f Montgomery, December 3.-(Spe- ctaL)-Business firms and citizens ot Alabama were urged by the public service commission today to take ad- vantage of the provisions of the pub lie service commission laws enacted in 1920 which provide for the auditing of freight bills by experts employed by the commission and for the collec- tion of excess fees which may be ex acted from patrons of transportation companies.
 The commission, in statement is sued by President A G. Patterson and Associate Commissioners $. F. Gall lard and B. H. Cooper, said thousands of dollars had already been collected for people of Alabama and the com mission desired to render this service without any profit to the state. The commission will audit all bills for zsfx years past and if errors are found will require the transportation com panies to refund any oyercharges. A Commission of 10 per cent will be charged, which will cover only the actual cost of the auditing.

Montgomery, December 3.-(Spe- cial )-Shrimp catchers of the gull coast who take shrimp In the waters of Florida and Mississippi and bring them to any point on the bay within the waters of Alabama may recon sign them to points from without the state when permits are issued by the chief oyster inspector or any assistant oyster inspector under regulations promulgated today by John H. Wal lace, Jr., state commissioner of con servation.
 The law enacted recently by the Alabama legislature absolutely pro hibits the shipment from the state of shrimp taken within Alabama wa ters. Mobile shrimp dealers com plained that they were not permitted to ship from the state shrimp which they had taken in Florida and Mis- sissppi waters. Commissioner Wal lace issued the regulations in order that the business of Alabama deal CTS might be protected.

Cramton Gratified at Re- Sponse to Preliminary Ef- forts of Highway Improve ment Association in Behalf of Proposal.
By FRED H. GoRMLEY Montgomery Bureau. The Age Herald, e91-e Flrst National Bank Bulldina

Montgomery, December S.-(Spe- cial.)-Fred J. Cramton, president of the Alabama Highway Improvement association in his first official state ment since preliminary plans for the bond amendment campaign for the construction of a system of perma- nent roads in Alabama had been com pleted, today declared the people who showed an active Interest In the cam paign in 1920 were coming to the front again and bringing recruits from among those who believe the expenditure of state and federal funds on the public roads of Alabama will mean an improvement in the finan- cial and living conditions of all citi- zens
 President Cramton said he was gratified at the response received from the preliminary communications of the association. He also declared he was pleased to know that citizens of Alabama look upon this amend ment as nothing more than the cor rection of an unfortunate error and the putting into operation of a policy which has already been approved by the overwhelming majority of the people.
 CramtOn'n statement
 MT. Cramton's statement regarding the organization work for the state highway bond campaign follows:
 Tt is source of deep qualification to those who have been entrusted by the people with the organization work for the highway bond amendment t campaign to receive reports of the general support Of the great majority of the people who made the success ful fight for the original bond amend-

ment which, unfortunately, was not ratified In accordance With the con stitution.
 although no more than the. pre- limlnary work for the campaign mas been done the Alabama Highway I'm provement association has received in- formation from various sections of the state which shows that those who were active in the last campaign arc determined again to expend their best energy in the fight. The preliminary communications of the association to the various counties have brought R general response, a response which shows that citizens of Alabama are as much interested in tho ratification of this amendment as they were when they gave the majority of eight to one in favor Of the first amendment.
 MAny Recruits
 Not only are those who were ao- tive in 1920 active again but there have been many recruits. We are convinced that many persons will show an active interest this year which was not shown last year because they know the ratification of the bond amendment will mean highway con struction in all counties and this vii. mean the expenditure of additional funds, the use of labor not now in de- mand and the use of teams and ma chinery which necessarily have been idle since the depression set in.
 "A large number of persons look upon this amendment as nothing more than the ratification of an act which has already been approved by the people. Ther argument is that this amendment Is only a means of cor recting a clerical error. It will be recalled that one word was left out of the bill when the legislature con sidered 1t recently. Another bill cor recting this error received practical ly the unanimous support of the two houses. There was no argument be- cause the members knew the passage of the bill was no more than the carrying out of the legislatures pol ley as already announced. Thou sands of people look upon this amend ment as a whole just as members of the legislature did upon the bill. The people have spokeni therefore the ratification of the amendment this

 One of the objections to the trans portation act of 1920 cited by the state commissions was that 1t de- prived them of power within the bor- ders of their several states MT. John ston took issue with this view.
 The Birmingham man was testify ing regarding the Capper bill and other pending measures which pro- vide for the repeal of the revenue provisions of the transportation act. He declared that those urging the bills were trying, perhaps inadvert- ently, to force status of govern ment ownership.
