CLEAN UP NEGRO TOWN

~ The Imperial Enterprise claims
the negro quarter of Ell Centre is just
as bad in the way of depravity as the
licensed saloons in the business quar-
ter of Imperial, and the Press is con-
strained TO admit the charge.
The cotton industry has brought TO
the valley many colored people, who
i'll FL Centre have assembled in a
quarter by themselves east of the
railroad Among the colored people
there are a few notoriously bad char
acters, who have been repeatedly ar
rested.
The fact is, these few people make
that section of the town disgrace to
the city and their lawlessness should
be stamped out by drastic procedure.
Both the sheriff's office and the city
marshal have done much to bring the
negro quarter under control, but still
more vigorous steps are needed to
that end, and if necessary. the city
should provide special night watch
man to hold that end of town down to
decent behavior

NO FREE LUNCHES

LOS ANGELES, July 25.-Following
the passage of the anti-free lunch or
dinance by the city council, Attorney
Walter F. Haas announced last night
that a vigorous attempt would be
made to secure a modification of the
ordinance before it became operativ e
as a law. At the same time Council
man Martin Betkouski, who opposed
the measure, stated he believed the
new measure was of such importance
that it would be subject for the ref
erendum. In the opinion of others in
terested in maintaining the free lunch,
the Legislation enacted by the city
council is unconstitutional and liable
to annulment by the courts.
Attorney Haas represented the
meat and produce dealers in the fight
against the ordinance. He contended
that the abolition of the free lunch
would mean a tremendous loss to the

GOATS TO PREVENT FIRES BY
BROWSING ALONG FIREBREAKS

SAN BERNARDINO, July 25.-The
first consignment of 2400 goats for
the Angeles forest reserve have ar
rived from Arizona. They will act
as official government fire fighters, or,
rather, eaters of that which makes
fire in the national forests. They will
be stationed at strategic intervals
along the 100 miles of firebreaks now
in the Angeles forest and their sup
posedly Unsuitable appetites will keep
their 50-foot clearing strips bare Of
inflammable underground.
Supervisor Charlton of the Angeles
reserve has returned from a thorough
inspection of it's 1,250,0OO acres in this
reservation, made with view to pro-
viding means to handle forest fires
during the dangerous period. He says
the reservation now offers a greater
fire resistance than at any previous
time in its history by reason of the
development OF firebreaks and trails
and emergency fire brigades of every
city and town affected by any of the
water sheds in the Los Angeles, San
Gabriel and San BernardinO valleys.
Supervisor Charlton now has 81
rangers in the field. He also has 20
fire patrolmen, whose services are
donated by water companies, water
districts and municipalities receiving
protection. In addition to these he
can call upon so trained men in every
city and town in either of the three
valleys affected by this reserve. Every
ranger has given territory to patrol,
with a telephone station central in
his field of action so that he can in
stantly communicate the alarm in
case of a fires outbreak.
Thus far only about 500 acres in
scattering patches have been burned
over during the present season. This
does not include the recent fire in the
vicinity of Glendale, which destroyed
two houses in it's path and burned
over five and one-half acres of grass
and brush. One year the reservation
had no fire whatever. Last year 49,
600 acres were fire swept.

SECOND ELECTION
 IN MOBILE TODAY Voters Will Decide Between Lyons and Hartwell for
 Commissioner

Mobile. September 1.-(Special )-Mobile z second election under the commission government plan will take place Monday morning, when the people will decide whether Capt. Pat J. Lyons, former may or, shall succeed himself, or whether Harry T. Hartwel. the so-called pro gressive candidate, shall gain Captain Lyons seat There are two other candi- dates David D. Langan, who asks for second choice votes, and C. G. Hutchis- son, socialist It is conceded, however that the fight is between Captain Lyons and MT. Hartwell.
 Captain Lyons is a representative of the old city ring. He is supported by the afternoon paper and actively by attor- neys for the Mobile and Ohio railroad the Southern railway and the Louisville and Nashville railroad MT. Hartwell is running on an anti-corporation ticket; he advocates the construction of a belt line railway similar to that in New Orleans and is supported by the original commis- sion government advocates whom he led to victory when they were fighting for the new plan. He is supported by the morn ing paper
 Nightly ward meetings have been held by both factions for over week. The campaign ended Saturday night with two downtown meetings of the opposing factions Bonafide fireworks, as well as oratorical pyrotechnics, featured.

LITTLE INTEREST IN
 COMING ELECTION
Jackson, Miss, Tackles Com mission Form PrOpOsi-
 ton September "A

Jackson, Miss. September 1.--(Speeial) ) Jackson will be the next big town in the south. so far as known here, to tackle the commission form of government prop osition, the election to determine the mat ter having been ordered for September "A. So far little or no interest has been aroused, but it is a foregone conclusion that Jackson will work herself into d kind of frenzy before the contest is set tied
 The citizens of the community are di- vided. as a matter of course, and both factions are claiming that they are going to win the fight. Those fayoring the com mission government are organizing for the fray, they are hard at work every day, but if the opposition is doing any thing it has been on the gum-shoe order and nobody knows anything about it.
 The charges of grating recently made against the heads of the police depart ment by other city employees has put ey- erybody to talking, and has had consid- erable to do in creating sentiment in favor of a change in the form of govern ment that will place the police and all other petty officials under the direct ahd positive control of the aldermen-or com missioners, and where but one person will be held accountable for their actions These charges have not been sustained in fact, they have amounted to nothing being heresay evidence and the board of aldermen appear disgusted with the whole matter.
