JUDGE LINDSEY REMOVED FROM JUVENILE COURT DENVER, Colo,, Jan. 24— Judge Ben B. Lindsey has been ousted from the Denver Juvenile Court by a de- cision of the State Supreme Court which reversed the decision of the District Court in the contest pro ceedings brought by the late Royal W. Graham, Lindsey's opponent iL the 1924 election. Judge Lindsey said he plans to continue in the office. “The decision is the most astounding thing I have heard,” said Judge Lindsey. Judge Lindsey said he had mnot had an opportunity to answer the testimony of the man “who admitteu he was a paid agent of the Ku Klux Klan.” The Klan backed Graham. Lindsey declared he will hold of- fice until his successor is chosen. The current opinion here is that the opinion automatically ousts the founder of the juvenile court. — - Some Stored Wealth Is Found by Mrs. Scollard VANCOUVER, B.
