INDECENT CONSUMPTIVES
BARREDFROM Ell PASO, TEX.

The county commissioners In ses-
sion adopted resolution calculated
to discourage the immigration Of indi-
gent consumptives to this county.
says the Ell Paso Herald.
1t was explained by Judge Eylar
that the reason for the adoption Of
the resolution was that there are
many people affected with tuberculo-
sis, who come to Ell Paso or are sent
here without without any funds, and
while in the past 1t has been the Gus
tom Of the commissioners to care for
them, in the future they viii be sent
back to their old homes, or If they
desire to remain here, will be COM
lpelled to care for themselves.
For several years past people who
are without means have been coming
to this section and expect charitable
organizations here to care for them.
The resolution is also in line with the
movement instituted by state health
officer DR.. Brumby to prevent west
Texas becoming burdened with indi-
gents affected by this disease, and 1t
is possible that DR.. Brumby win. as
he is permitted to do by the law. de-
clare tuberculosis an infectious dis
eas and prevent the immigration Of
persons so affected.
The drain on the county treasury
for some years past on account of
having to care for persons afflicted
with consumption has been so great
that the county commissioners have
decided to put an end to it.

Constantinople. Apr 1.-THE city is
quieter this morning. The majority
of the garrison. however, occupies a
place before the chamber of depu-

mands of the young Turks party for

While it is difficult to disentangle
what really happened owing to the
severe censorship 1t Is. clear that the
grand vizier and the cabinet recently
appointed at the dictation of the com
mittee Of union and progress has been
overthrown and new government,
seemingly of military character insti-
tuted. From Vienna comes serious
news OF the murder of one minister
and the wounding and arrest of 9TH
