mans a success. Their duty is an
unselhsh one, and if they them
selves would not be forgotten; if
they would enlarge the field of
their friendship; prove to the
world that they are capable of
unselfsh devotion; demonstrate
that their minds are capable of
entertaining high ideals, social,
political and religious, then their
place is in the ranks of the Hi
bernlans and the Ladies' Auxil-
larry. In no other way can it be
proven: Irish hospitality is liv-
ing and vital force. A response
bility is placed on those born into
the world with Irish blood in
their veins. That duty must be
discharged. 1t cannot be dis
charged by separating oneself
from those who are organized in
behalf of all that is near and dear
to the Irish heart. There can be
no pride without intelligence. An
intelligent pride, and an intelli-
gent interest begets respect, conf
dence, and increased usefulness

OF COMMERCE
GETS MANY INQUIRIES

The Imperial Valley Chamber of
Commerce daily is receiving a highly
gratifying quantity of inquiries for
facts concerning the valley, accord
ing to Secretary Place, who declared
this morning that the diversity of
crops and wonderful agricultural pos
sibilities of Imperial county were at
tracing widespread attention.
Recently, he said, letter had been
received from Cornell University re-
questing information and photographs
of points of interest in the valley, and
another from the Chicago University
lad stated that in October a group of
students from the university probably
would visit the county to study condi-
tiOns.
Imperial Valley lands, he said, were
in demand, and exhibited letter from
"a Kansas City citizen requesting the
names of real estate dealers here, as
he was desirous of exchanging income
property in Kansas City for acreage
in the valley.

High School Notes.
(By Thomas r. WILSON,

This morning the school had their
first fire drill, which took place at
the end Of the assembly period. The
signal was given and the fire boys
were at their posts Immediately, while
the students went out quietly. The
boys on the west arcade were the first
to get water, having full stream
in about twenty seconds, while all had
water in less than thirty seconds.
This morning debate was held in
the debating class. The question was:
Resolved, That the State of Cali
fornia is justified in its stand against
land ownership by aliens"
The speakers for the affirmative
we're L-f,an Brewer and Villa Lin
coin; those for the negative were
Thomas Wilson and Leonard Stokely.
The debate was extremely interesting
and was enjoyed by all who were pres
ent. The decision was in favor of the
affirmative.
Last night the faculty gave a party
for the trustees at the High School.
Progressive games were played and
refreshments served. 1t was greatly
enjoyed by all. Those present were
Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. Apple, Mr.. and

erside county will join with an ad-
joining part of Imperial county and
set up new county. He and Wills
are preparing for hard battle when
the bills come up for consideration
after the recess.
The route proposed by Alvey in his
bill is 253 miles long, while the dis
tance from Los Angeles to Yuma by
the other route, proposed by Wills, is
II miles longer, or 324 miles. Of his
bill Alvey said today:
"This routing, which is through the
central portion of Imperial county,
will serve the best interests of the
county as whole and at the same
time afford relief to the greater Palo
Verde valley, lying to the north of
the Imperial valley, along the Colo
RADIO river, in the eastern portion of
Riverside county.

Icy have suffered great hardships on

GASOLINE EXPLOSION
BURNS ENTIRE FAMILY

The explosion of five gallons of
gasoline while it was being poured in
to the tank of an automobile from
a can, shortly after midnight last
night, resulted in the injury of all
the members of B. F. Humphries'
family and the almost total destruc
tion of the car. The youngest child,
aged 8, is at st. Thomas hospital in
a critical condition as a result of
burns caused by the fiery liquid.
Humphries, who formerly was q
resident of Holtville, last year, with
his family, removed to San Diego
Some time ago he purchased a ranch
near Holtville, leaving San Diego some
days ago by auto, expecting to take
possession of the ranch
The party arrived here late last
night and stopped at Coggins' garage
tc replenish their depleted supply of
gasoline. Unable to find anyone at
that place because of the late hour,
Humphries succeeded in procuring a
five-gallon can at the Central ga
rage.
A lighted lantern stood near the
gasoline tank and as Humphries
poured the contents of the can into
the automobile tank the fumes were
ignited by the flame of the lantern.
In the explosion that followed, the
entire family, who were in the car,
with the exception of Humphries,
were sprayed with the burning fluid
Struggling futilely to beat out the
flames on their own persons, as well
as the burning clothing of theil
children, the parents rushed the
youngest boy to Dicks restaurant,
where the child was placed in the
kitchen sink and drenched with water
Quick action on the part of the fire
Imperial Valley press., 1915-01-28

Telegraph information from Sacra-
mento shows that Assemblyman Alvey
of Riverside county is not only busy
fighting the Ell Centro- Yuma road
project, but, according to this state
ment, he is grossly misrepresenting
the case.
Everybody here knows that it is not
question of route from Yuma to
Los Angeles by way of San Diego,
but that it is nearer from Brawley
to Yuma by way Of Ell Centre than
by way of Mammoth Wash, and this
is the logical and economical route
for road to Los Angeles.
The statement that San Bernardino
county has pledged money for the
Brawley road is false. That county
is using it's whole influence for a
highway to Needles. 1t is also not
true that the sandhills appropriation
is contingent upon appropriations from
other sources.

PRESIDENT VETOES
IMMIGRATION BILL

Washington, Jan. 28.-Declaring he
vetoed the immigration bill with
greatest regret, President Wilson to-
day returned the measure to the
Houre without his signature. He sent
to Congress a message outlining his
views on the bill and giving his spe-
cific reasCas for opposing his judg-
ment to that of majority of both
houses of Congress, a step which, he
declared, mo man who realizes his
own liability to error can take with
out great hesitation
The president in the veto message
said:
"In two particulars Of vital con-
sequence the bill embodies radical
departure from the traditional long
established policy of this country. 1t
seems to all but close entirely the
gates of asylums which have always
been open to those who could find no.

JUG WIELDER NOW
is IN COUNTY JAIL

Sought by the local police for more
than a week after he had attacked
with demijohn colored resident of
the East Side, A. Lewis, colored, is
held at the county Jail and according
to officers charge of assault and bat
terry probably will be preferred against
him. The trouble occurred more than
week ago, when Lewis entered the
home of his woman friend. From
what has been learned, Lewis ex-
pressed his opinions forcibly, the re-
plies having been equally acrimonious,
with the result that Lewis, in pas
sion of fury, snatched up the heavy
jug, which happened to be lying near,
and struck the woman a blow on the
head. The crockery was badly
smashed, but, according to officers, the
woman was uninjured save for the
jarring up and slight scalp wound

CITY RECORDER
HAS NEW SYSTEM

The city recorders court will in
the near future be conducted on a
Bertillon basis, according to Police
Judge r. B. Whitelaw, who announced
this morning that he was preparing
filing system which will contain a
complete description of miscreants
and others who are hailed into court,
the cards apparently being in lieu Of
the hackneyed system of photograph
ing criminals. The cards, he said, also
would bear, in addition to the de-
scription, the sentence or fine i'm
posed.
The legal papers. which heretofore
have not been filed permanently, are
being sorted out this morning by the
energetic recorder, and are being
placed in legal envelopes, to repose
in the future in filing cabinet for
that purpose.
No record, outside of the sheriff's S
office, he said, had in the past been
kept of the number of city prisoners
who are inmates of the county Jail,
or of the expenses incurred for their
maintenance, his plan being to pre-
pare a record for the city which will
enable the auditors to check up ex-
penditures from the city records, which
will be kept in conjunction with those
prepared by the sheriff's office.
While the card system has only been
recently inaugurated, already there is
the nucleus for large collection, the
papers for criminal and civil suits al
ready having reached large number.

Sacramento, Jan. 28.-A new coun-

Riverside and Wills of Imperial over
the location of the Ocean to- Ocean

run north from Yuma, touching Braw-
ley, skirting the edge of the Salton
sea, then through Mecca, Thermal,
Indio, Palm Springs, Banning, Celton,

mona to Los Angeles. Wills wants to
have it go from Los Angeles through
Orange to San Diego, thence across

hills to Yuma.
