Especial to The Sentinel

Especial TO The Sentinel.
Ell Paso, Texas, March 31.-This
is the last day for wheat duties from
Mexico in order to prevent a bread
famine. according to customs offic-
ials here.
For several years past Mexico has
had to suspend the duty on wheat
each spring on account OF the short
age in that country.
Wheat now costs $500 Mexican
money per bushel in Mexico City
when imported from the United
States. and the home crop is eX-
hausted.
American wheat AT the border now
costs SIPS a bushel. and with a
duty of 20 cents gold a bushel and
an additional freight rate to Mexico
City, the price is exorbitant,

New York. March 31-Puzzled
over the case of Michael Riscicio,
who died during an operation at the
German hospital in Brooklyn yester-
day for a supposed minor intestinal
malady, an autopsy was performed
by DR. Charles Wyerst and the en-
tire staff of the institution was in
attendance.
The surgeons We're amazed to find
that the mans heart was on the right
side OF his body, and that his stom-
ach and digestive organs were on the
left side in place of the heart.
All of the organs of the body
seemed TO be in normal condition
and it was evident that the man was
born in that condition.

Supporters of the Wardlaw- Cary
anti-local option bill seem to have
given up all hope of getting the
measure through the senate. The
judiciary committee, which stood 6
to > against the Wardlaw bill last
week. was called to meet last night
to take final action on the measure,
but Chairman Scott was unable to
get a quorum because the members
supporting the liquor interests failed
to put in an appearance. Senators
Scott. Skinner. Tobin and Bardwell
appeared. Senators McCue and Har-
rson sat outside in the senate cham
Der, waiting for the other five mem
bers to appear. McCue and Harrison
refused to 20 into the committee
room because they feared the other
members who are against the bill
would vote to kill il. If reported out
the bill could only get on the general
order calendar, behind all the other
bills under that head. In that posi-
tion it would never be reached. IL

Take Physicians Horse and Go &c
Lake Linden With II.

Lake Linden With u.
Three Laurium youths, all of whom
were under thirteen years of age, were
taken into custody by Marshal Wills
of Laurium yesterday afternoon, char
ged with taking the horse of a well
known physician, which had been left
standing on the street, and driving the
animal to Lake Linden and return. No
formal charge has been made against
the boys as yet, and II is possible that
because of their extreme youth, len
iency will be exercised. However, the
officers frankly assert that pranks of
this nature must cease.
1t Is claimed that the boys took the
animal while the physician was MAX
ing n professional call. When the loss
was discovered telephone messages
were sent to all parts of the county in
an effort to locate the outfit, and the
police officers were notified. II was
discovered that the animal had been
driven 90 Lake Linden. Marshal Wills
was on the lookout for the boys on
their return. and had no difficulty in
locating them.e The condition of the
horse Indicated that II had been driven
hard. The matter will probably be
taken up with the parents of the young
sters and an adjustment brought
about.

Alden, the British stronghold that
commands the entrance to the Ped
Sea, has of late years fallen behind
the times from a commercial point of
view, says an exchange. Through the
poor harbor facilities the trade OF
Alden, once paramount between Egypt
and India, has been largely transferred

improvements. dredging the entire
area of the mooring basin i'm the in

Work was begun in March last and
although the contract called for COM
pletion within two years, it is now
certain that by the end of February
next the entire project will have been
carried out so that the very largest
vessels that now pass through the
Suez canal will be accommodated in
the inner harbor of Alden.
This much-needed activity in Alden
harbor forms a parallel to the vast
improvements now carried on at Sim
gapore. that other citadel OF British
imperial sway. There. too. competl-
tion had made itself keenly felt for
some years, thanks to the awakening
activity of the Dutch In making the

TAX COLLECTIONS POOR.

Residents of Laurium are showing
considerable apathy in the matter of
paying their taxes during the Christ
mas season. Secretary of the water
board Martin Prlsk stated today that
the collections i'm his department for
the quarter which ends Dec. 80, which
are now due, have been very poor and
that no comparison can be made with
the showing at the same time last
year. The sidewalk taxes i'm the viii

the next few days to make a big re-
duction in the outstanding taxes, so
that at the end of the year the books
will show a big Improvement.
