FORMER M. P. GETS
SEVEN YEARS FOR
HUGE STEAL

LONDON, May 29.-Horatio Bottom.
ley, M. p, former editor of John Bull
anti-American weekly, today was found
guilty of appropriating to his own use
100000 pounds from funds subscribed
for ward bonds and was sentenced to
seven years Imprisonment.
The famous independent member of
parliament must begin his prison SEN
tence at once.
He gave notice he would appeal and
asked that bail be fixed pending a
hearing, but this application was re-
fused.
Bottomley had pleaded not guilty to
the charge, upon which he was arraign-
ed March and conducted to his own
defense.
The finding of the court and the SEN
tence imposed created tremendous SEN
sation in a crowded courtroom and
throughout the city as the news spread
"They've got Bottomley at last, -
was the word passed from mouth to
mouth throughout London while news.
boys screamed and news and newspaper
placards blazOned the west end.

7 By JUDGE M. w. CONkLlNG
/ will add to what Judge Cole has
said with respect to the need of new
courthouse, that the want of facilities
for the proper handling of juries in
our courts is causing continued vio-
lation of the law. The statutes pro-
vide not only that the supervisors must
provide adequate rooms, offices and
furnishings for county offices, but also
that proper accommodation for grand
juries and petit juries must be furnish
cd. 1t is further provided in the
statute that the supervisors must pro-
vide such accommodations for jurors
that women may sit on juries, and that
rooms separate from those occupied by
the men must be provided, with a COM
mon room for deliberation.
We have now none of these things;
we have only one jury room, and it
does not comply with the law. We
have no rooms even for witnesses in at
tendance on the court, and it is a dis
grace to the county that men, women
and children should, when attending
the court, be herded together in the
only manner now possible.
AS said, it is the duty of the super
visors to provide these accommodations,
and if they fail in their duty it be-
comes the duty of the court to COM
pei them to perform their duty by pro-
viding these accommodations.
Should the proposed bonds . be not
voted nothing is surer than that these
needed accommodations must and will
be provided by the supervisors by di-
rect tax levy, and should they be remiss
in that duty, the highest court of the
state has already decided that they will
be compelled by writ of mandate to
comply with the law by providing these
accommodations.
The county is already paying $120
per month rent for extra quarters for
county Officers, and should they thus
attempt to provide the additional rooms
which the statute requires, something
near $400 per month additional would
be, required.
1t must be apparent therefore to the
taxpayers that there will be no econ
omy in delaying the erection of court
house. After courthouse is built the
building now occupied and owned by
the county can be rented for $500 to
$500 per month, and the money used
to pay interest on the bonds.

BY JUDGE FRANKLIN j. COLE
Concerning the immediate erection of
q public building commonly called a
courthouse, l wish to say that the com
fort, convenience and dispatch of bus
mess are matters of small concern liz
comparison to the risk, Of loss in life
and property taken in trying to contin-
ue use of the old unsanitary crumbling
buildings now being used.
A slight earthquake could instantly
wreck or fire demolish all that the
people of Imperial county own in the
present governmental headquarters. We
are paying enormous rates of insurance
on county property on account of the
unsual risk taken in maintaining the
present quarters, but the most valuable
of all your property cannot Se insured
at any price. These are your public
records.
l believe that less than two per cent
of the people of Imperial county realize
what a calamity would befall us if the
contents of our public offices were des-
troyed. What you would then be COM
PEELED to pay would be sufficient to
build marble palace and trim the
same with solid gold.
You property owner! Each and ev-
cry one of you would employ an attor-
ney at a fee of from $50 to $500, OF
more to perfect the record to youI
property before you could sell it. You
would also pay your extra proportion
Of taxes to enable the county to build,
furnish and equip the offices and then
rpDrO1ucp the rocOrdS
Five years after the San Francisco
fire, while sitting in the superior court
in that city, 1 tried many cases for the
purpose only of establishing records to
property in that city. There are still
some such cases on the court calendar
there.
No person, firm or corporation would
knowingly permit his or their private
records and business to remain in the
precarious condition that now exists in
our county. If there be anyone in this
county who doubts the correctness of
the findings of the grand jury concern
ing these matters, he should, in Justice
to himself and the public, investigate
the existing conditions.
There are many, many other good
reasons why our county should build a
public building Immediately, but the
one condition cited l consider of su-
preme Importance to every property
owner in this county.

6. P HELD
ILLEGAL

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The fed.
eral government by decisions of the
supreme court today won its big anti
trust suit against the Southern Pacific
railway and associated interests.
F.. The court held that acquisition, own
ership and control of the Central Pa
cific line from Ogden to San Francisco
by the Southern Pacific restrains COM
petition in interstate commerce and
therefore violates the Sherman anti
trust law.
As a result the court announced the
Southern Pacific must divorce itself
from the old Central Pacific line.
The court decision was six to enc
Justice McKenna dissented and
Judges McReynolds and Brandeis took
no part in consideration of the case.
Forcing the dissolution of the two rail
roads is unfair, McKenna declared.
The leasing of the Central Pacific by
the Southern Pacific, he said had en-
abled the government to collect $685.
100000 which it otherwise could not
have collected.

varieties Of Wild Plants Have Various
Means Of Assuring Propagation
OF Their Species.

II Is well known that the same crop
cannot grow and flourish year after
year upon the same ground The
wild plant knows this and takes care
that Its seed shall fall upon fresh
ground. Some, like the thistle and
the dandelion, have developed seeds
provided with balloons of down, by
means OF which they are carried for
miles. The sycamore and the lime
grow little parachutes. which send
their seeds twisting through the air
for long distances. The burrs make
use of animals to do the work for
them. They grow rows of tiny hooks
designed TO catch In the coats of ami
mails, which carry them away and then
rub them OF against bushes. The
poppy has perfected an efficient form
OF sprinkler. When the dry heads are
shaken by the wind. seeds are shot
out In all directions. The tropical
sandbox tree was the first inventor
or explosives. Its seedpods are filled
with gas. which expands until such a
pressure Is reached that the sheath
bursts with noise like a revolver
shot. and the seeds are distributed
over a considerable area.

Another weed that was cultivated
years ago is the sorrel. Most every
one knows the weed. but few house
keepers realize its food value.
Sorrel can be used uncooked as "a
green salad alone or in combina''n
with other salad plants. shredded
cabbage and minced sorrel dressed
with oil and lemon juice make an
unusual salad that is surprisingly
good. The English have many rec
