MOTION PICTURE MAKING
TO SHOW NATIVE SONS

Motion pictures are being taken
among the Yuma Indians on their res
ervation in the eastern end of Impe-
rial county, according to the Yuma
Sun, which says:
"A party of ten persons i'll the en-
ploy of Pathe Freres. one of the largest
moving picture manufacturers in the
world. are here taking pictures of
the Yuma Indians and landscapes to
be used in a moving picture Indian ro-
nance. They spent the day yester-
day on the reservation and had quite
a number of Indians posing and act
ing for the pictures.
"Pathe Freres, whose head factory
is in Paris, has branch at Bond
Braek, n j., and it is from that place
that this party comes.
The party consists of a business
manager, an author who plots the
story and works out its narration by
means of pictures; an operator, who
manipulates the machine, and num-
ber of actors.
The author is Sioux Indian grad
uate of Carlisle University, named
James Young Deer.
"The party has found conditions here
very advantageous for such work. The
rugged mountains, level plains, desert
and cultivated fields, the river and
the big canals make up scenery more
varied and with more striking con-
trasts than they have ever seen else
where, and the general character of
the views are so different from any
thing to be found elsewhere that all
believe some extremely interesting
stories can be pictured here. For this
reason it is their intention to come
back here this coming winter and
spend several months in their work.
Their visit at this time will only
last a few days longer.
THE party is quartered at the South
ern Pacific Hotel"

ORANGES AS ANESTHETIC

NEW YORK, Sept PA new an
esthetic, with which the patient is
lulled quietly TO sleep by the odor of
oranges instead of with a struggle that
attends the use of ether, has been
discovered
The new anesthetic is based on the
odor of essence of oranges, which is
ten times stronger than the odor OF
ether. The patient smells this vapor.
lied essence, which is then gradually
mixed with ether, the change from one
to the other being imperceptible.
AS demonstrated in five operations
at the hospital and confirmed by up
wards of 200 experiments performed
by its discoverer, the new process has
the advantage of being much safer
than the use of ether alone, taking
only half the time TO administer, be
ing much less costly, doing away en-
tirely with the patients struggles and
being followed by quick recovery and
no sense of nausea.

GERMAN FLEET CHECKMATED

PARIS, Sept. 12.--Tha recently TO
gotiated Franco-Russian naval conven-
ton and the older Anglo-French con,
vention relating to the Mediterranean
sea board will be brought into prac-
teal operation within a few davS, whom
the French fleet, which heretofore has
had its headquarters at Brest, will
be transferred temporarily to Toulon
This naval move will give France
complete control in the Mediterranean
over any possible combination of the
triple alliance, and will leave to Eng
land the defense of the North sea,
while Russia guards the Baltic sea.
Experts point out that with the
Russian fleet in the Baltic, the strength
Of the British fleet will be materially
increased against any contemplated
German attack, while the English
channel is considered sufficiently de-
Tended by the numerous fleets of de-
stroyers and submarines stationed on
both the English and French coasts.

TO TEST BLOOD SPOTS

tBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONSI
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 12.-Chem
ical blood tests will be made by the
police TO determine whether the slay-
er of Lydia Bergere, who was mur.
Gered in hotel here, is white or
black.
Before leaving the apartment where
the murder was committed, the mur-
derer wiped his blood stained hands
on a towel. The towel was taken to
the city chemist for analysis of the
stains.
Pending the result of the test, big

is one that calls for more thought. We
would not think of allowing hogs con-
slant access to the streets, though
they are not worse than the horse as
a maker of filth, and consequently of
disease.
However great is our love for the
noblest of the domestic animals, he is
closely associated with the typhoid fe-
yer fly. and the time will come when
it will be wondered at that mankind
ever permitted the streets of cities to
be kept filthy by this pet animal.
Without horses and with the auto in
general use for agricultural purposes
and street and county road traffic,
there will be vast gain to public health.

THE HoRSELESS AGE

The destructive epidemic among
the horses of Kansas, coming at the
same time as the great movement
toward supplanting the farm horse
with power appliances on the coast
puts the hOrseless age much nearer at
hand.
In no part of the country is the
horse being supplanted more rapidly
by machinery than in this valley. and
it looks as though the people here
might soon practically dispense with
the horse.
The economic aspect of this change
has often been commented on, and
here of all places, where horses cannot
be used to advantage during the sum
mer, but when the machine can be
used every day, there is extra reason
for the change.
But the sanitary feature Of the case

Tuesday there was a very small vote,
but everywhere the Progressive ticket
was far in the lead of the standpatters.
The Democratic vote, however, led all
at the primaries. That the new state
will go for Wilson seems probable from

SAYS COURTS HAVE
TOO MANY DEFECTS
Senator Crawford Says Hos
tility Is Toward Inferior
Federal Courts.

Jersey City. y j. Feb. 13.-The indie
pendence and fearlessness OF the Ju-
dietary and the need of remedylnE ae-
fects in judicial procedure civil and
criminal, were urged In speech dellF-
cred by United states senator CraW-
ford, OF South Dakota before the Abra-
ham Lincoln association which mas
celebrated -IincOln's birthday since his
assassination in 1860
Mr.. CraWfOrds theme was the fed
eral union and the states" He said in
part:
While it Is necessary to maintain the
independence and fearlesSnesS of the
judiciary, We should frankly recognize
the fact that there Is much that calls
for criticism in the courts. There are
many defects in judicial procedure,
both civil and criminal, which all ad-
nit should be remedied. The irritation
and uneasiness Of the people and their
hostility 70 the courts are largely d.
rected to the Inferior federal courts
Should an amendment to the cOnsu-
tuition fixing the terms Of the judges
of the intermediate and lower federal
courts at period of six to 10 years
be proposed IL would probably be rati-
fled by the necessary number of states,
because of the prevailing opinion that
same Of these federal judges are too
Indifferent to the rights OF the people
and not sufficiently responsive TO pres
ent day needs, when passing upon is
sues between the people and special in
terests-
Congress has perhaps created too
many of these lower federal courts
and been too liberal in granting to
them powers OF injunction, particularly
in proceedings against the officers Of
a state attempting to enforce the stat
utes Of a state.
1T is a matter OF doubt whether the
new courts Of customs. Of commerce
and Of patents were wisely established.
1t is claimed that these inferior and
intermediate courts are often the means
OF delaying rather than promoting JUS
tice.
Without their seeking It," he said,
the burden and duty have been put
upon the federal courts not only Of lis
solving vast corporations and monop-
olies in restraint OF trade-such as the
Standard oil and the American Tobacco
company-ahd permanently to enjOin
them from continuing in business
bit IN addition the enormous RESPONSE
bility has been put upon them OF su-
pervising, reviewing, directing and
conserving to some proposed plan IN
der which several similar concerns
owned chiefly by the same old stock
holders may severally and independent
" Of each other conduct the vast bust
ness heretofore conducted by the IN
lawful combinations
This is a work which the courts
should not be asked to do. It is put
upon the courts because congress has
neglected to provide some other and
more efficient method OF dealing with
the subjects"
