$4,000 RAISED FOR 12
MILES OF MOUNTAIN ROAD

SAN DIEGO, Oct. Ito construct Il
DEVILS canyon route in Imperial coun-
ty from Mountain springs to Coyote
wells, the highway committee of the
chamber of commerce, mainly through
the efforts of Fred w. Jackson, John
Forward Jr. and others, has raised S50,-
900 in cash.
Surveys for per cent grade around
the mountain side has begun under
the direction of Engineer Fred Rhodes,
who had charge of many of the sur
veys of the San Diego county highway
system. The road around the mountain
for the greater distance will be blasted.
The cost is estimated at $500 a mile.
When the survey is completed con-
tracts for construction will be let. 1t
was stated this morning by John For
ward that by February l the road
would be completed and by that time
the highway commission will have
completed a highway from Ell Centre
to Coyote wells, for which $4,000 was
voted by tax levy by the people of
Imperial county. The highway COM
mission of Imperial county is also at
work from Ell Centre to Yuma, which
road will be completed by March 1.
From San Diego to Mountain springs,
80 miles, the road built by the San Di-
ego county highway commission is a
fine boulevard and none better in Cali
fornia can be found. From Mountain
springs to Coyote wells the distance
through Devils canyon is one of the
worst stretches of highway in Southern
California. A preliminary survey by
Engineer Rhodes was the cause of Its
abandonment and the determination to
build around the mountain. The can
yon is about II miles in length. From
Coyote to Ell Centre the distance is 35
miles. No expensive work is attached
to this stretch. From Ell Centre to Yu-
ma is 65 miles. Imperial county will
build this road from funds raised by
tax levy.
When the Devils canyon route is
completed the distance between San
Diego and Ell Centre can be made by
auto in four hours, it is claimed, and
with the new road to Yuma completed
it is claimed the trip from Yuma to
San Diego can be made by auto in
seven hours.

.CHY YPOUNDKEEPER MAKES HIS REPORT The Department Collected :. S369S.15 and Killed
 2836 Dogs

Reduced to a concrete form, the work of the formidable pound contingency of the city government last year was as sfollows: ,.
 ; The capturing of II 1-1O animal per day.
 The execution of 5-6 dogs per day.
 The collection of $1 10 per day
 The report of the department was made yesterday, and so diligently was it dem onstrated that the officials in charge had accomplished with such painstal<ing ef- fort the arduous duties arising without warning by day and night, that it is reported that the commission is seriously contemplating general increase in com pensation. There is every reason to be- lieve that such action will be taken if s 1t is eventually considered wise to adopt a, new ordinance for the more thorough protection of the passerby from the hol- low tooth of the rabid canine.
 The number of animals, according to species impounded last year. follows; Cows, 1466: hogs, 133. horses, 2io mules 15s: dogs. 3ln; goats, II. There were no actions taken against the gamboing of the lambs and hens unmolested were - permitted to cackle whenever the tempta- tion grew strong.

EDUCATORS WILL MEET IN NASHVILLE Willingham Expects Many Prominent Alabamians
 Will Attend

Montgomery. February 19.-(Special)- Superintendent of Education Henry J.
 Willingham announced this morning that he anticipated that a number of promi- nent educators in this state would at tend the Fifteenth Annual Conference of Southern Education, which meets in Nashville on April 3, 1 and 5. Letters announcing this meeting have been sent out by the secretary of the association to teachers all over the state. The pres jdent of the association is Robert C. Ogden of New York
 Owing to the fact that the Alabama Teachers association will meet in annual session in Birmingham just two days aft- CT the adjournment of the southern con- ference in Nashville, it is believed that
 q number of educators in the state will not be able to go to Nashville for the big meeting as they will very likely wish to give precedence to the state confer ence.
 Among the capitol officials who will
 probably attend the Nashville conference are Superintendent of Education Henry J..
 Wilingham and Hervey W. Laird, deputy insurance commissioner, who is a mem Der of the executive committee of the association.

SANITY OF SNEAD
 WILL NOT BE ISSUE
Trial Interrupted Twice by Unusual Indictments.
 Nearing. End

Fort Worth, February 1s.-whether or not John B. Snead was sane when he shot A. G. Boyce, Sr.. to death will not be an issue in the trial of Snead for mur- der. This was decided today by Pre- siding Judge Swayne when the defense at the start of it's evidence in sur rebuttal endeavored to show that Snead was not mentally responsible. Sustaining the objection of the prosecution, the court held that as the state had made no attempt to prove that Snead was not insane. the defense in its rejoinder could not ask the question, originating a new line of inquiry.
 The courts ruling, which will have the effect of shortening the trial, came at the end of an exciting session twice Interrupted by unusual incidents. The first came when Lynn Boyce, son of the man killed, taking offense at a question asked his mother by an attorney for Snead made a hostile demonstration and the combined efforts of several court at taches was necessary to prevent his reaching the attorney. The second inter- ruption was when Mrs. Mary Req, against whom Judge Swayne recently ruled in divorce proceedings, refused to he
  and backing against the door defied door Keepers to attempt to search her. She was brought before the bar A revolver was found in the pocket of her cloak.
 After court adjourned Judge Swayne ordered her to answer to a contempt charge during the hearing of which she delivered a tirade against the court avowing her right to defend her home Mrs. A. G. Boyce, Sr.. testified thi' morning as to the infatuat tion of her son A. G. Boyce, Jr., whose elQpement witt
 the wife of the defendant, preceded tnt killing of the elder Boyce, for Mrs. Snead and efforts of herself and her husband to keep the two apart. The state con culded it's evidence in rebuttal with . letter purported to have been written by United States District Attorney Atwell personal attorney for Snead, to Sher'fi Req of Tarrant county, Texas, in which it was stated that the younger Boyce hac in his possession when arrested in Winni' peg, Canada. jewels. the property oi <nead. This information, it is stated. was the basis of complaint charging Boyce with theft, one of the charges on which it was sought to have him extradited. It Is anticipated that the defense vii conclude its testimony in sur-rebuttal to- morrow.

Tribbie and a substitute. to- gether with the coach, will make the trip. The Highs expect to win the game with Wetumpka, as they easily defeated them here early in the season. The strength of the Selma team is unknown and no dope can be secured on them. The Courley lads expect to win both games. The squad will leave here early Friday afternoon for Wetumpka.

 outbursts of applause were not lack ing on the trail of particularly hu- man moment or funny point. The story is one fairly well known to the aver age theatregoer or newspaper reader and for those who have never seen the play given by another company the Bijou offers a fair diversion at the re-
 aiming performances on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday matinees or the regular evening showings.
 The plot of "The Blue Mousse con cerns a railroad president, Joe Lewellyn, who dubs himself heart breaker and a collector of feminine charms, and an actress Miss Paulette Devine. The president in keeping with his high sta tion has private secretary, Augustus Rollett, who wishes to become division superintendent of the railroad of which LeweIlyn is at the head In order to make sure of obtaining this by means other than his own merits, he enters into compact with Miss Devine com monlv known as "The Blue Mousse" to obtain this position from the "old man. by cajolery, flattery and lovemaking. But she must act as the secretary s wife in order 10 have the proper ex- cuse for wanting the superintendency and as a reward for this trouble the actress is to receive a sum of money. Rollet has a wife, the president has a wife, and "The Blue Mouse" has
 an intended husband. The desired end is accomplished but not without com pIications. The spa asmodic displays of
 Miss Devines temperament. the merry
 mixups of the husbands and wives, the
 easiness with which the victims of the
 Mouse" succumb to her charms, the
 duly clearing up of the atmosphere,
 and perhaps the occasional flashes of
 conduct bordering on the edge of the
 indiscreet, aggregate the substances of
 the three acts with an auction sale in
 the second scene for good luck
 Miss Bunting as "The Blue Mouse"
 shows undoubted talent in her play
 ing of this part and also shows that a
 few little turns ironed out here and a
 little more ginger thrown in there
 would make her a really, truly per
 sonifcation of the will O the wsp that
 the actress. lady was. She is so far
 above the rest of the cast however
 that it seems to be all blue mice. Viii
 liam Thompson as the railroad presi-
 dent was fair and didn't allow his role
 to drag and Daniel Lawlor as George
 Wallus made his part as comicaI as
 he could and but for a suggestion of
 overdoing it would have made good his attempt.
