d. s. in SUIT TO RECOVER Il MILLIONS
OFF WITH OLD, ON
WITH NEW, RULING
FOR |. V. POLICE

With the passing of Dave Mat
lock as city marshal of Ell Centre,
another change is recorded in the
police annals, making the fourth
ir the valley within as many weeks.
Tom Worthington, Calexico, was
the first to give way, resigning to
take care of his trucking business
and was succeeded by Joe Hardwick.
The election of Charles Gillett as
sheriff of the county made it i'm
possible to continue as city marshal
of Holtville, and the city council
appointed M. P. Harris to succeed
him.
The result of the November eleC-
ton means the passing of Andrew
Starritt as constable at Calipatrla,
where he has reigned for several
years, and he will be succeeded by
Joseph Verge who is the choice OF
the voters for city marshal.
Tennyson said 1.-The old order
changeth, giving place to new,
and it looks as though Alfred was
perfectly right.

New Chief Orders
Gypsies to Move

Harry Barker, as head of the city
police, was to give notice to the gyp-
sizes who have been conducting fortune
telling booths ON Main street for q
week or more that they could not con

Complaint had been made by busi-
ness men and citizens that the gypsics
were proving nuisance and were max

trade in front of their booths.
The gypsies are from Il band that is
encamped about mile west of El

where several families have pitched
their tents, evidently with the mten-
tion of passing the winter there.

ground that selection of the immi-

that if the persons selected were of

active in their protest against being
confined in a particular portion of the

there would come a time. when they
would believe that it was the duty of

Coolie Labor Wanted
For Sparsely Settled
Northern Australia

SYDNEY, S. S. w. Jan. 11-(Asso-
ciated Press MaiD-The question of
coolie labor for northern Australia,
advocated by w. A. Horn, former
member of the South Australian legis-
lature, has given rise to considerable
discussion in favor and against the
proposition.
Premier Barwell of South Australia
has expressed himself as favoring the
project as the territory Is "a tropical
country and capable of producing rice,
maize, sugar cane, coffee, cotton,
tobacco and other commercial pro-
ducts"
ut is a pity that a country of such
wonderful should remain un
productive and unpeopled--a veritable
white elephant" he continued. IF it
be true that only colored races can
develop the country, the question
arises as to whether they should be
brought into Australia as coolie labor
under indenture or whether selected
Asiatics should be permitted to settle
with full citizen rights. The second
seems to me to be the only PROPOSE
ton worthy of consideration. Such a
country cannot remain unsettled and
unproductive forever. | believe that
it will be realized ultimately that it
can only be settled and developed ef-
fectively by colored people,"
Premier Theodore of Queensland
took issue with Premier Barwell, char
acterizing his argument as dangerous
and unpatriotic propaganda. He de-
clares that if such a policy were
adopted the whole continent would be
in the hands of Asiatics in half a
century.
He urged cession of the territory to
Queensland to promote white settle.
