NExIcANS BRING TYPHUS
 ACROSS THE BORDER

BISBEE, Oct 3l-There is a Mex ican confined in the county detention hospital at Don Luis with typhus this making the fifth case in the district in the last few months.
 This man. who is from the interior # Mexico near Mexico City. was ad- mitted through the port of Fl Paso on the 18th. of the month, was taken sick he 18th and his case called to the attention Of County Physician C. H. Hunt on the Fist. He was immedi- ately sent to the detention hospital where he is getting along all right and will no doubt recover.
 All Mexicans who are admitted through border ports into this country ire detained temporarily while their clothes are fumigated and the Meri- cans themselves given a disinfecting bath. They are then allowed to en- CT this country. But if they have al ready become infected through being bitten by the louse which carries the disease. they do not become sick for two or three weeks and many of the Mexicans after entrance to this country are taken sick with this loath- some and infectious disease. The only remedy now in the hands of the county or city authorities is to deport these people, but in that case they might not receive the attention on the other side of the line to prevent Jhe spread Of the disease and this would make conditions much worse.
 According to physicians. the iso- lated cases are seldom fatal. and 1t is only when the disease becomes epi- demic that the mortality is as great as 50 per cent. It is probable that the immigration authorities will very soon make arrangements to detain all suspicious Mexicans until it can be determined whether or not they have the disease.

PROHIBITION LAW NEEDS IMPROVING

Under caption What Judges Think of Prohibition Law the Arizona Gazette printed last week the opinions of large number of Superior Judges of Arizona on th prohibition law ill Arizona, and among them the fol lowing from Judge Lockwood of the Superior Court Il Tombstone, His Honor citing several examples of tn good the law has accomplished ill Arizona while he doe not hesitate that it is at present the law is ideal and needs improving:
 Il desire to state, first: That while the pres ent ProhibitOy law ill my opinion, is not ideal, it has certainly greatly improved the conditions istIng ill Arizona. l particularly notice the i'm provelnent among two classes of people. First, the Mexican population. fine Mexican and children are much better clad and fed, and there is much less crime among the men than heretofore. The second class that has been benefited is that composed of men who had particular desire for liquor but were of more or less cOnvivial disposition, and drank for the social feature than anything else. These have almost entirely stopped drinking, and saving money and caring for their families much better. l am certainly most emphatcay opposed to the return of the open saloon for the reasons above given, well as others. think that the present law needs strengthening in some particulars. The substantive law itself is very satisfactory to me, but need legislation mak- ing easier for the courts and the officers to en- force the amendment.
 Very truly yours,
