Jury OF WOMEN
CONVICT MRS. GRAY

The first conviction in the history
of the county by jury composed en-
tirely of women was handed down yes
terday when a Jury of women in the
court of Justice of the Peace Norrish
at Holtville found Mrs. Newt Gray
guilty of violating the city liquor or
dinance. Her husband was adjudged
guilty on the same day after a jury
of mere men had deliberated all night.
The daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Newt
Gray is being tried today on SINH
lar charge, j. F. Seymour having been
retained as special prosecutor in this
case as in the 2 preceding trials.
Instances of women serving on ju-
ries in this county are rare. Several
wears ago a woman served on a jury
in Superior Judge Coles court and
more recently District Attorney Mich
OILS secured a conviction on a charge
of violating the liquor law, men and
3 women having served on a jury.
The case was tried in the justice court
lat INLAND.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The grades for the third month of
school are now out. Although the
"honor list" was long one this
month, it did not contain as many
names as many would have liked to
see. The "honor list" consists of the
names of students whose average is
90 Or better. Some forty names made
up the list this month. So good was
the work of the computers that many
students figured in vain to average
80 in their report. Eighty-nine and
one-half is a common occurance.

36 OSTRICHES DIE
ON BIRD FARM

Imperial Valley, although similar in
climate to Arizona in many respects,
does not agree with the 1900 os-
triches near Brawley which are owned
by the British & American Mercantile
Company. Thirty-six of the big birds
have died since they were brought
here from Arizona. The cold wealth
er is said to be proving no obstacle
to the good health of the birds.

Senator Garrett, chairman of the FL

the bill 10 appropriate money for the
expenses of the special session.
Much OF the early session OF the
Senate yesterday was devoted TO the
discussion OF the proposal OF the Tax
Commission to restore the license tax
on physicians and surgeons. Senator
Walker, urging that the tax be re-
stored, said there was no reason why
physicians should be exempt. He said
other professional men are taxed, and
while il is true that doctors do much
charity work, he could see no reason
why they should not pay the tax which
would mean an annual revenue OF
abou, $4,000 to the State. He be-
the tax removed
Senator'S Mapp. Catron. Royal and
Cannon spoke in favor OF eXempting
the doctors of the tax. Senator Parr
said he believed the tax should by all
means be restored, and that the rev.

The last session Of the General AS
sembly voted TO exempt doctors from

restored. but the committee amend
ment was not carried. and physicians
will be free from the payment OF a
license tax
The question OF imposing n tax on
peGdlers OF medicines, perfumes and
other articles was reached, but before
q vote could be taken the special order
came up. and the discussion was ended.
Senator Early. of Green, delivered
an eloquent address on the tax ques-
ton. He believed segregation would
