The house, 36 to 7, struck the en- acting clause from the first of thir- teen bills concerning child welfare legislation. Representative I. L. Gotthelf of Saguache county, made the motion that the enacting caluse be. stricken from the bill. He was supported by Representatives Godman of Burlington, Howard of Grand county, Dailey of Huerfano county, and Moore of Bent county. “The bills take it for granted that every young bo: @ criminal,” de- clared Dailey. And if the bill is passed it would make a criminal out of every red-blooded boy in Colo- rado.” The bill killed raised the age of juvenile delinquency from 16 to 18 years. Representative Dailey, in support- mg the motion that the enacting clause be stricken, stated if the bill had been in effect 25 years ago he doubted whether a member of the house would be free from the stigma ot having juvenile court prosecutions wpon iim “Instead of trying to regulate the toys and girls by taking away fam- fy rights, a great deal more good toward helping public morals could be done by going down to Curtis street, along Movie Row and arrest- fog the many mashers that loiter there and insult women who walk by,” said Dail a NEW ALPS TUNNEL T0 BE OPEN TO USE SOON By HENRY WOOD (United Press Staff Correspondent) ROME.—{By Mail)— Announcement thas been made that, barring accident, the second tunnel under the Simplon pass, The Alps, and which runs paral- lel to the present one, will be opened mer. Its operation is expected to stimu- Yate an increase immensely both pas- senger and merchandise transporta- tion between the channel ports and the Mediterranean and Adriatic. Work on the. second Simplon tun- nel has been in progress since 1912, Despite the war a certain amount of work was at all times kept up. In building the present tunnel, the engineers were able to utilize the gal- Jery which had been built when the first tunnel was constructed for the purpose of ventilating the latter. In fact, the new tunnel is little more than an enlargement and adaptation of this gallery, although the engineer- ing problems involved were fully as great as those of the original tunnel construction. The first tunnel was pierced at a cost of over $15,000,000, whilst the second one will cost only about $7,- 000,000. ‘The two tunnels now have a total of about twelve and a half miles of which five and a half are on Swiss territory, and the remainder on Ital ian soil. | 400 ALIENS | INSPECTED FOR TYPHUS NEW YORK, Feb. 23 dred immigrants who Grand Central station from Boston “where they —Four hun arrived at en today janded yes terday from the steamship Rotter dam, were examined for possible ty phus infection of them, found to be vermin-infes: nt to a loca! hospital far Federal medical cintinued the gers aboard which 145 of 2, removed to Hoffman vation yesterdya, f passe Aquitania, fr passengers ¥ nd for obs: the Ponce, with 5 cabin passengers from San Juan, Por to Rico, and the alabria, with 789 steerage passengers from Trieste.
