Splitting Laws Poorly Enforced.

Anticipating ordinances, laws and
regulations in more than fye-eighths
OF the cities and towns of the country
are not enforced as they should be,
alleges the National Association for
the study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis in a bulletin issued today.
While most of the larger cities of the
United States have such laws on their
books, in the great majority of cases
they are ignored Or overlooked.
The bulletin is preliminary to a.
more extensive study of the subject.
which will be presented at the next.
meeting of the National. Association
in W Washington on May 3, by Robert,
j. Newton of St. Louis. 1t covers in
detail the enforcement of the anti
splitting ordinance in 80 of the largest
cities in the country. During the
year 1909 in these 80 cities, 3,42l ar
rests were made for violation of the
laws regarding splitting in public
places. Over 1900 convictions were
secured and 50, 1OO87 was collected in
fines.
New York City had more arrests
than any other city, having had 2,513,
with 1909 convictions, and 1860
collected in fines. Baltimore comes
next with 214 arrests and an equal
number of convictions. Pittsburg is
third in rank with st. Louis in fourth
place. st. Louis, however, would
have been in second place, if the sani-
tary police who enforce the law in
that city had been at work in 1909
In 50 cities out of the 80 the law was
either not enforced at all or very
poorly enforced. OF the rem aiming %
cities, less than one-half of them con-
tributed more than three-fourths of
the arrests for splitting and of the fines
collected.
Many Minnesota cities have anti
splitting ordinances, but it is probable
that in most of them not a single ar
rest for violation has been made.
The quarterly meeting of the Mime
sofa Association for the Prevention
and Relief of tuberculosis was held
in Minneapolis on April 9th. Plans
for employing a permanent travelling
visiting nurse to give free demon
stration to newly interested commune
ties of the value of instructing the
=consumptiye in his home were presen-
ted by the Executive Secretary, Mr..
Christopher Easton, and approved
and an effort will be made to raise a
special fund for this purpose.

FATAL SNAKE-BITE
First Death from Sidewlnder Venom.
 Due to Victims Negligence.

John F. Baird died at the Central Hospital last Saturday night in con sequence of the bite of the little desert rattlesnake known as the "sidewinder. l" This is the first fatal case of snakebite that has been known in the valley for some years, and Baird's death was due more to negligence and misjudgment of the seriousness of the wound than to any peculiar virulence of the venom.
 Baird was struck by the snake at about midnight of Friday. The wound was on big toe and could have been made harmless by simple precautions, but the man did nothing whatever to remove the venom or prevent it's cir culation through his system, and when he arrived at the hospital three hours later he was past helping but still un- aware of his danger He had tied a handkerchief loosely about the calf of leg instead of twisting it tightly about the ankle, and his leg was swollen to double it's natural size and his foot black with poisoned blood.
 pr. McCombs administered per manganate of potassium hypodermic- ally and lanced the swollen foot. let ting out the thin black blood. but the sidewind4rs hypodermic had too long start. When the mans blood opzed from the mucuous membrane, the doc tor knew there was no hope, but Baird still did not realize his condition and could not understand why the doctor advised him to send for his family. He seemed to regard the bite as a tri- vial matter.
 Had Baird twisted a cord about his ankle to check circulation, cut into the fang wound and sucked out the venom promptly, without doubt he would have recovered. The all-important factor in treatment of snake bite is promptness.
 John Franklin Baird was born in Alabama, was 51 years of age, mem Der of the Odd Fellows and was at one time a member of the Modern Woodmen.
 The funeral was held at the Fl Cen tro Undertaking parlors at 9:3O Sun day morning, interment being at Im- perial.

BOOZE JOINT RAIDED
Orgies at AIamorio interrupted by the
 Sheriff. A Rival to Mexcali.

Open and notorious law breaking at Alamorio, the new town four miles east of Brawley, got jolt last Sat urday night when Sheriff Meadows and Deputy Buck caught the proprie- tor and bartender of the poolroom in the act of selling whiskey and beer over a counter and placed them under arrest.
 Reputable citizens, who have visited Alamorio recently, assert that the joint is tougher than any mining camp saloon they ever saw. The place has reeked with whiskey, and sodden drunks have been seen strewn about like hogs in a sty. The promoter of the town, according to credible wit nesses, has declared his purpose in starting the place to be the establish ment of wide open" town, includ- ing saloons and all that the term i'm plies. His plan, as he is said to have explained it, is to gather a sufficient number of residents of the required type to incorporate the town, and then, immune from the county ordinance adopt the license system and establish MeXicali in the heart of Imperial County. The poolroom booze joint raided by the Sheriff is the nucleus of the precious scheme
 The men arrested, one P. A. John son and John Doe" bartended, are under bail in $500 each to appear fol trial in Brawley.

STORY OF THE BOIL WEEVIL.

A government entomologist has been ransacking the Imperial Valley cotton fields for boil weevil and has found no sign of the pest A rumor sent him here, and the rumor was started in jest. A AAvalley man on a train was asked if the weevil had ap- peared, and having in mind a news paper that tried to knock" the in- dustry at the start and was dubbed Boil Weevir' for its perversity, he replied: Sure, got it at Imperial" The stranger advised killing the pest with Paris Green and in other ways, and the valley man was having so much fun out of it that he forgot to explain. And so the story that Im- perial Valley harbors the Boil Weevil was spread abroad.

ExCURS|ON|STS COMING
San Bernardino Chamber of Com merce Plans to Bring Special
 Train to Valley This Fall.

Imperial Valley visitors this week were Messrs. w. w. Brison, Jr., presi- dent of the San Bernardino Chamber of Commerce; w. M. Parker, vice president of this body; Jeff McElvane, member of the State Board of Euuali- zation and H.. A. Miller. These men came as delegation from the Cham Der of Commerce to discuss with val ley merchants the advantages San Bernardino now offers in freight rates to valley points, and to present the idea of running an excursion train from San Bernardino to the valley for a three days sight seeing trip some time this fall
 These. men visited El Centro on Tuesday, and presented the excursion project to the officers of the Chamber Of Commerce and other citizens, and they received assurances of an en- thuslastic welcome. They propose to bring at least 125 persons, and proba- bly many more, as they will invite citlzens of Colton, Redlands and Riverside to join with them.
 It is probable that the time of the excursion will be fixed on the date of the Imperial County Fair.

ONCE WORE UNIFORMS.

An American consul was some
pumpkins during the first seyenty-five
years Of our existence as an indepand-
ent nation. and an American dirlonaJ
was a thing of beauty if not a JOY for
ever. In those happy days both con-
suis and diplomats wore uniform,
or official dress prescribed by the state
department and modified from time to
time.
The last time any changes were
made in the uniform of the diplomats
and cOnsuls was during the admins
tration of Andrew Jackson, Mr.. Liv-
ingston being secretary of state. The
diplomatic dress a. that time con-
sisted of a blue coat and whits panto-
looms, with gold embroidery and a
white waistcoat
The prescribed attire for the con-
suls was similar. Both diplomats and
consuls wore small swords. The ma
ton grew more simple in its tastes as
it grew older, and American officials
abroad no longer swagger in snowy
uniforms and brass buttons.
1t is claimed, however, that an
American ambassador at a court func-
ton, in his long-tailed Prince Albert.
looks like an undertaken when sur
rounded by the representatives of
other countries in gorgeous uniforms.

FOREIGN TITLES.

There is no specific law against an
American citizen accepting a title from
a foreign government. Two or three
Americans have been made counts of
the Holy Roman Empire. one OF them
Count Creighton of Omaha, dying a
year or more ago. But no other in
stance OF an American having ac-
oepted a foreign title and retaining
his citizenship can be called to mind
Some two or three years ago an
American residing in Lisbon, portu-
gal, found favor in the eyes of the
king, who offered to make him a
baron, consideration not stated. The
American, Patterson by name, was
fraid the acceptance of a foreign title
might expatriate him. He asked the
United States minister 10 Portugal his
opinion in the premises, and that Of
ficial put the question up TO the state
department Acting Secretary of State
Bacon gave the following as his opin-
ion:
THE acceptance OF such title from
a foreign government is so opposed to
the spirit of our institutions and law
itself that, although not specifically
forbidden, and therefore rot in itself
sufficient 10 work equalization, It is a
circumstance to be considered in de-
