is necessary that ample provision be made for proper equipment, personen and supervision,
 No provision is made for this ser vice in Bridgeport. The numerous individual collectors are both expens i've and unsatisfactory. It is impos- sible to supervise their work. Further. the high prices has led the small householder to bribing the garbage collector to- remove these materials. This has become a serious problem in the disposal Of garbage at the re- duction plant. No relief can ever be had until provision is made for city wide systematic collection of these wastes.
 The city has outgrown the present system of garbage collection The great increase in our population and changed conditions have combined to make reorganization of this work of prime importance. The Health | officer believes that a careful study of this problem should be made and a plan presented for the systematiza- tion and perfecting of this service. This will require provision for equip- i ment, personeIl and proper supervis- ! ion.

COUNTY LINE:
Brawley Druggist and Auto
Truck Driver Are Ar
rested in Come ction
With Seizure.

The biggest liquor haul made by
TIE authorities since the enactment
of the Nichols bone dry ordinance,
which makes Imperial county almost
as dry as a desert, was reported from
the sheriffs office today.
The seizure consisted Of fifteen
cases OF bonded whisky, one hundred
gallons Of port wine and fifty gal
Ions Of grain alcohol. The officers
who made the catch were Deputy
Sheriff Dace Matlock and Bob De-
wore.
This rlorning, before Justice Isaac
Mayfield, complaints charging A.
ROLAND, proprietor Of the Brawley
Drug Company, and G. c. Youngman,
a truck driver Of BraWley, with ille-
gal possession of Intoxicating liquors
were filed.
The seizure was made at Shepard
Bridge about 4:30 yesterday after
noon, after several days Of fruitless
watchful waiting by the officers who
had been assigned to the task OF
stopping up the booze leaks into the
Valley. In this case it was shown
that those in civil life have learned
we'll the lessons Of camouflage, as
taught and practiced in the European
war by military men. According tc
Deputy Sheriff Matlock, the whisky
in pint flasks, was packed in excel
sior in boxes marked drugs" while
the port wine and alcohol We're in
barrels marked Cocoa Cola"
Owing to the markings on the
Boxes, the officers hesitated to in
terfere in a possible legal transport
but on telephone instructions from
the sheriff, investigated the shipment
and found out its character.
Regarding the seizure, Sheriff Ap-
plestill declared that large Los An
geles wholesale houses were making
unlimited shipments, so camoullaged
to the Valley. He will ask the sup
port of the Los Angeles county Of
ficials in stopping the practice,
Ycungman, the truck driver, was
especially unfortunate. He had just
paid 81 900 instalment on a $4,000
truck and he was arrested on his first
trip. The truck has been seized, in
accordance with the county law, and
will be held pending the outcome OF
the case.
The defendants have every inten-
tion Of fighting the case to finish
and have reained Attorney {. b. Con-
lin to represent them.

GIRL s CHARGE

Justice Isaac Mayfeld this morning
entered an order binding Frank
Dominguez, we'll known El Centre
garage man, over to the Superior
court to answer charges of contribu-
ting to the delinquency cf Jessie Sill
bera, a 16-year- old domestic former
ly employed in his home.
TIE court took the case under ad-
visement at the time of the adjourn
ment of the preliminary hearing yes
terday. Bail was fixed at $4,000. AL
though the testimony Of the COM
planning witness was weak on dates
and details, the defendant counsel
was unable to shake her original sto-
ry, in the opinion Of the court.
To accommodate number Of bus
mess men who were called as char
acter witnesses for the defense, the
usual order of presentation of a case
was reversed, while a dozen well
known merchants and professional
men testified as to the high stand
ing and good morals of Dominguez
The girl charged that Dominique
was the father of her baby, which
recently died. and that he promised
to marry her as soon as his wife
who is sickly. was no more. She al
leges he bought her silk stocking:
and other fineriesl which delighted

STRAW VOTE:
FAvORS GAS
PLANT OWNED
BY Ell CENTRIC
Present Disposition of the
Ell CentrO City Council Is
to Allow Several Projects
on the Ballot.

From the lineup in administration
circles it was believed today that at
the proposed special election for the
voting Of bonds for municipal i'm
provements, items other than those
urged by tie Chamber of Commerce
will be on the ballot.
1t is the disposition of the city
council to allow the people to vote
on all projects for which there is even
a modcum of public support.
With the adoption of this liberal
policy-one dictated by a desire to
secure the most needful and most
popular mprovements-it was re
garded as likely that the embryonic
campaign for a municipal gas plant
will get into full swing.
A straw vote taken between the
hours of 1890 and 1870 this morn
ing along Main street by Press rep
resentative disclosed that:
But five men out Of "a approached
favored a stadium or playground.
That practically all favored a mu-
nicipal ice plant.
That 26 favored municipal gas
plant. Some of these, however urged
the purchase of the present system
rather than it's duplication.
There is an almost unanimous dis
position to support bonds for a Game

other improvements desired to IN

JUDGE HOLDS
HIN D Us 7 0

Los Angeles, March 26.-Hindus
may be naturalized as Americans.
The long-awaited decision Of U. S.
District Judge Benjamin f. Bledsoe
as to whether the Hindu is to he re-
garded as a Caucasian, there as. 3
free white person" was handed down
yesterday afternoon.
In view Of the fact, that hundreds
of Hindus, burned black by the fierce
suns of their native land, come TO
America every ySar, and because OF
| the tremendous controversy that has
ragged over their proper designation
as race, Judge Bledsoe's decision IS
| regarded as the most important one
handed down in the federal court here
for many years.
Mohan Singh, the Hindu whose ap-
peal from an order denying him the
right of naturalization brought about
the determination Of the race race
question by Judge BledSCe, IS held tc
be such high caste Hindu.
Judeg Bledsoe follows the reason
ing OF the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals in the Second Circuit in
the application OF one Balsara, Par
see, born in Bombay, India, in which
case the applicant, Balsara, was de-
clared entitled to citizenship.
"The conclusion o the Circuit
Court of Appeals Of the Second Cir
cui in the BaIsara case, supported BE-
the great weight of authority to the
effect that Congress intended by the
words free white persons to confer
the privilege OF naturalization upon
members Of the white on Caucasia.

The Circuit Court of Appeals then
continuing: The words refer to race
and include all persons Of the white
race, rs distinguished from tie balcE.

Whether there is any pure white
race and what peoples belong to it
may involve nice Determinations, but
for practical purposes there is uo
difficulty in saying that the Chi
nese, japanese and Malays and Amer

white race
Modern ethonologists, Judge
Bledsoe proceeds, "nse the terms

cember session of the county grand

word received here.
The arrests were made by Chlet
