ia the matter of disinfccting open

per cent OF the cases reported were in.

Since we have any records there have
been typhoid fever eases reported cv'
cry year, during the summer and au'
tumn months. We have always had n
very small death rate from the dis.
ease. The prevalence Of typhoid fever
in this city and all the towns IF East
rru New Mexico and west Texas is due
To lack of proper sewerage and disin'
lection and the mode Of dissemination
is hy flies and personal contact. While
our sewers have been extended aud
conditions much improved there Is
still q large portion of the city with
out sewers and as the connections 20
our new sewers were not completed
until late in the summer, as yet, we
have derived very little benefit from
that source.
The percentage Of cases reported
this year in less than any year since
records have been kept by the city
physician. II is my opinion with our
improved conditions and the applica.

THRILLING ADVENTURE OF KERMIT ROOSEVELT
 LOST IN WILDS
Former Presidents Son Has Been Hunt. ing a Coed Deal on His Own Hook and Darkness 0vertaking Him He Wandered About All Night -Prepar. ing to Break Camp,

(By Warrington Dawson, Staff Cor
 respondent of the United Press.)
 Nairobi, May 14-News filtered into Nairobi to-day from the Roosevelt camp at Machakos of thrilling ad- venture of Kermit Roosevelt a few nights ago. He was lost for a whole night in the wilds and wandered about until daylight when he stumbled on Kiu station and soon got his bearings E Kermit has been hunting by himself considerably since the party went to MachakoS and was out in search of big game when. he was surprised by sudden darkness. night-fall in this region coming without much prelimi- nary twilight. Kermit who was on horseback. turned in what he thought was the direction of the camp but lost toward the German boundary. He soon found himself in the barren waste toward the line which has been unwatered and uninhabited for years.
 For a time he realized that he had lost himself and instinctively turned backward. He proceeded slowly for hours. taking the direction from his pocket compass and at dawn located the Ktu station. He was then 20 miles south of the Machakos camp and ar rived just as the party was getting ready to search for him. The nights adventure was minimiZed and word of it only reached nere to-day.
 The latest word from the camping party was that they are making ready the Ju Ja Ranch fifty miles southwest of Machakos where splendid hunting site has been selected. The party is in the best of health.

A: refusal to sell to any particular Individual becomes illegal onf5 swfiensit is done in pursuance of a cozfibdnatfon with other owners to in jurA the} individual with whom they re- fused sfo deal. In other words, it is th6zscp4sx6i1ation-a of several persons wi1ith makes that action illegal, which if done by a single person without any a1geeEente4afor joints action would be 3$s.sa sSss-EEs-s
 If is an inherent right of the own CT Of property to refuse to sell his properly to any particular individual; i; he cannot be deprived of that right simply because of the magnitude of his business or his wealth. Nor do. see how the courts could draw a. line between individuals and corporations who may exercise their full right of property and those to whom on account of their wealth that right is to be de- nied+s 1.-the aggregation of enormous Industries under a single control is an economic evil, as to which express no opinion. the evil can be easily cured by the Legislature.
 .In other words, a monopoly may use the boycott, even to the destruction of the business of other parties. This may be that very uncertain/ and elu- sive principle known as good law but it is not justice. - Nor is it in con- sonance with public sentiment. It would seem that corporate monopolies may exercise a boycotting privilege which is denied to labor unions, and it is difficult for. the. lay mind to recon cile these contradictory facts.
 As may be recalled, the late Gov Lil- ley recommended to the present Gen era1 Assembly, in connection with the labor question, that whatever is legal action by an individual be made legal for a combination of individuals, but no action has yet been taken by the legislative body and, so far as percep- tible, none is intended. In fact, so far as the Republican organs and leaders are concerned, the. recommendation has received no notice whatever
 Possibly this New York decision which upholds the boycotting privilege for a combination, will recall attention to the recommendation made by Gov. Iilley.

NEW YoRK,s AUTOMOBILE BILL.

It seems probable that Gov. Hughes will approve the automobile bill pass ed by the N. '. Legislature. Opponents of the measure concentrated their eff forts, s1pon the speed provision, which Is as follows:
 Every person operating a. motor ve- hicle on the public highways of this State shall drive the same in a care fuf and prudent manner and at a. rate of speed so as not to endanger the property of another or the life or limb of any person; provided that a. rate of speed in excess of thirty miles an hoiarf shall be presumptive evidence of reckless driving.
 Their argument was, in substance, that this provision justified a speed of 30 miles an. hour, which is the av- erage speed of railroad trains and which, they asserted. gives danger ous discretion to chauffeurs.
 As a matter of fact, the provision grants speed of 30 miles an hour on- ly when Git con be proven that such speed does not endanger- life, limb or property, the burden of proof that ex- isting conditions make such speed dan gerous resting upon the State. On the other hand, the provision that speed exceeding 30 miles shall be presuTnp- tive evidence of reckless; driving, changes the location of the burden of proof and places it upon the chauf- feur who must prove that the condi- tions ,are such as to permit with safe ty to life, limb and property speed of 30 miles or more.
 This New York bill is drawn very much upon the lines of the Connecti- cut law, but raises. the speed limit from 25 to 30 miles. If danger to the chauffeur, or to the automobile, or to its occupants be considered, it may be questioned whether under any condi- tfofiss a speed of 30 miles an hour is devoid of danger, anda under the strict letter of the law it may be applied to these parties, but such is not the ob- vious intent of the law. They are evil deufty considered either immune or as shonldering their own risks and not needing protection from the possible result of their own acts. Yet it is probably a fact that more automobil- ists are injured or killed than pedes- trians or occupants of other vehicles.
 It is fairly evident that the ideal speed provision has not yet been found. Possibly as the causes of accidents are more closely analysed, it will be revealed.

TERRORISTS MEAN
 TO SAVE L0PUKHIN
Special from United Press.>


 St. Petersburg. May 14.-Extraordi- nary precautions are being taken to- day to prevent members of the Ter rorist organization from attempting to rescue M. Lopukhin. the former police director who yesterday was sentenced to five years imprisonment in Siberia for betrying Eugene Azef to the Ter rorists.
 The authorities have been warned that the ''fhting organization" will not permit Lopukhin to suffer. The prison guard has been doubled to prevent raid and a special detail is patrolling the prison on the outside to forestall any attempt at dynamiting. One hum dred soldiers will form an escort for Lopukhin when he is taken to Siberia. Aopukhin's wife is distantly related to the Czar and she made a personal appeal to him to-day for a pardon for her husband. The Car informed her that he would not interfere with the sentence of the court.
