Books for the school children have
also been received and there are books
for the children from the first grade
through to the seventh, so that every
child may have books suitable to his
age.
Professor Alger and Miss Madison
made arrangements whereby the child
rem could go to the library by classes
and look over and take out the books
bought for each respective grade. This
has meant great deal both to the
school and to the library. for it ac-
quaints the children with the library,
and it is found that even with the
little tots they can find books which
they can read themselves, and Miss
Madison says they come constantly TO
the library by themselves and with
her assistance secure an entertaining
as we'll as instructive book. The teach
ers say they find that the children who
do reading outside of their textbooks
get along much faster in their studies
than the children who do not.
Some books in Spanish have been
received

Death of Pioneer Woman

Brawley News In the Presbyterian
Church this afternoon was held the
funeral of Mrs Grace Wood, wife of
Dell Wood, one of the valleys pio-
neers and best known farmers and
stock men. Mrs. Wood had been a

her home in Los Angeles, where she
could receive special treatment. She
died in that city Wednesday. The
body was brought to Brawley this
morning Rev. J. w. Millar, pastor
of the Presbyterian Church, conducted
the beautiful services. Floral offer
ings from members of the family,
the Woman's Club, Rebekahs and East

indicated the high regard in which
Mrs Wood was held in the commun-
ity. The fraternal organizations of
which she was member attended the
services in a body. and the ceremonies
at the grave were conducted by the
Imperial chapter of the Eastern Star.
Interment was in the family plot at

TYPHOID PREVENTABLE

1t is rather startling to be told that
in 1909 there were more cases of ty.
phoid in the United States, with a pop
ulation not half as large as that of
India than there were cases of plague
in India, and that there were four
times as many cases of typhoid in the
United States as cases of cholera in
Russia during period including the
epidemic of 1910. These figures are
taken from an article by Mclaughlin
of the marine hospital service, who
says that we consider with apprehen-
sion the countries in which cholera
and plague occur frequently and call
them pest ridden countries, but do
not consider the problem of typhoid
fever in our own country with suffi-
cient seriousness. He gives tables to
show that within the registration area
in the United States in so cities hav-
ing aggregate population Of more than
2O,0OO,OO0 the average typhoid death
rate for 1910 was % per 100000 in
habitants. In one city in that year it
amounted to S6.7 per 100000, and in
several cities it amounted to 45 or
more.
ern Europe. comprising a population
of 15,000,000 the average typhoid
death rate per 100000 of population
during a period of 10 years from 1901
to 1910, was only 3.4. and in 1910 the
rate had gone down to %. 1t is con-
sidered in Europe that death rate
of 13 to 10 per 100000 constitutes a
rather serious reflection on the sani-
the management of the water supplies
of such cities. And yet the figures
are far below the average of the 50
cities Of the United States above re-
ferred to, in which the death rate was
% per 100000 of population. Leav-
ing out of account such causes of t.
phoid as infected food and milk, Coz
tact, carriers, etc. Mclaughlin be-
lieves that this death rate can be very
materially reduced by tiltering the wa
ter supplies of our cities, which are
too largely contaminated by sewage
Not only is this high death rate from
typhoid fever to be deplOred on hui
manitarian grounds, but the occur
renee of such large number of cases
represents an economic loss so great
as to be almost incalculable.

MOVING PICTURE
MEN AGITATED

Several managers of moving picture
theatres attended last nights meeting
OF City Council to learn whore they
stand relative to question of allow
ing people TO stand up in the rear OF
their places of amusement Following
the meeting of Council they were in
formed by several members OF that
body that they were permitted to al
low their patrons to stand i'm the rear
of the theatres but not in the aisles
or block the entrances to the same.
There seems TO be a difference Of
opinion as to the intent OF the ordin-
ance recently passed governing such
places. Fire Chief Moran had noti-
fed the theatre managers that persons
could not stand i'm the rear Of their
houses and this order agitatod the
owners of the places.
Chief Moran remarked last night
that he didn't care now how they
packed the people in. for il was no
use for him TO tell them one thing
and the Councilmen another.

SUBURBAN COMPANY
WOULD REACH CITY CENTRE

Negotiations are under way be-
tween the Peoples Railway Company
and the Wilmington Southern Railway
90 try to reach a working agreement
whereby the New Castle line. after
1t enters Wilmington over the new
route by way of the Causeway and
Market street bridge over the Christi
ana. will be enabled to reach the CEN
ter of the city. II is proposed to con-
meet the New Castle line with the peo-
pies Railway somewhere about Water
and Market or Water and King
streets, If an agreement is reached,
=vhich is altogether likely. There has
been some talk of the New Castle line
bcing sold by f. Clarence Jones. a
New York broker, who owns il. 10 tho
Peoples Railway Company. but moth
ing definite has come out OF il.
Some time ago the Peoples Rail-
day was permitted TO extend its tracks
10 King street wharf. Prior TO that
time the Wilmington Southern Rail-
way Company was granted permission
20 enter Wilmington by way OF the
Causeway and Market street bridge,
INSTEAD of in New Castle avenue,
which at present is used. South OF
1cden park the New Castle cars enter
Fhe city over the Wilmington City
Railway tracks under a traffic agree
ment.
Preparations arc now being made 20
huild the new line along the Cause
way TO Water and Market streets. II
is said that a private right of way will
be bought from Market street to King
street so that connection can be made
with the Peoples Railway, and so
the New Castle line cars can pass to
ANY point covered by the Peoples |
Railway, as well as a transfer system |

The New Castle railway is five miles |
long and il has sixteen cars. The com
pany employs about forty men. and |
has a big powerhouse between viii |

employed. However. the house decid ed it was willing to take a chance, even though the attorney general had made that ruling. So the bill was passed without amending that feature.
 The state examiner bill, the bill providing for the publication of in itiative and referendum petitions and the bill making an appropriation for the salary of the bank comptroller were passed with, little difficulty. And after long delay, the anti-lobbying bill also passed.
 The first proceeding of the house in the afternoon was to pass one of the bills providing for paying the board of canvassers that did duty at the late general election. Then a number of other bills were sent to the com mittee of the whole and will be up for action Monday
 It was something of a surprise when the house refused to concur in the senate amendment to the bill
Arizona republican., 1912-06-16

providing for an appropriation of $5500 for the Chevalon creek bridge. The amendment provided that the ar- propriation should be taken from the general fund rather than from the road fund and it was to this amend ment the house refused it's assent. Considering the shortness of the time the chances do not look good for the passage of this bill.
 The registration law bill. one Of the most important yet remaining to be passed. was reconSidered by the house and is now up for action by the committee of the whole tomorrow.
 The house fish and game law bill, having been displaced by the Chase bill was indefinitely postponed. The Juvenile court bill was sent on it's regular course. The express tax bill shared in this treatment after wealth ering an unsuccessful attempt to raise the tax from five to six per cent. The bill providing extra pay for legislative

tion for an amendment to the const- tuition forbidding the sale of these lands will be inaugurated.
 The defeat of this bill leaves the matter just as it was fixed by the framers of the constitution. That IS, the lands may be leased or sold; but in no case shall there be lease for a longer term than five years.
 The routine record in the house yesterday was considerably shorter than the record in the senate; for the reason that the house was further along with it's work and therefore had the opportunity of spending more time with each individual measure. One of the measures to take part of the houses time was the antipaSs bill This is quite drastic. as is pret- ty well understood, and according to an opinion by the attorney general it will bar even railway employees from accepting free transportation ex- cept in cases where they are actually
