KILL SNAKES WITH GAS
New Method Suggested For Destruc-
 tiOn Of Reptiles

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July 7.-(By Associated Press. )-Poisonous gases will be used in the destruction of Texas rattlesnakes, according to present plans of the predatory ami nal bureau of the United States de- partment of agriculture, assisted by the chemical warfare service of the Eighth army corps area. Major George M. Halloran, chemical war fare officer of the corps, will begin experiments soon to determine which gas is the most effective in killing snakes
 Phosgene generally is considered by the bureau to be among the most fatal to animals with respiratory sys- tems and will be tried first. Other gases which may be used in the ex- periments are chlorine, which asphyXiates and mustard gas, which sears or burns. The preliminary tests will be conducted at Fort Sam Houston, under. the plans.
 Tt is planned to ascertain through the summer which gas is most dead ly to the rattlesnake, and when cold weather comes and the reptiles have gone to dens and hibernating places, to experiment on them en masse" said an announcement.

DEMOCRATS TO MAP
D. C. FOR 1924 RACE
Present Precinct Arrangement Said
to Be Out of Line With Popu-
lation Shifts.

Plans for the redistricting of Wash
ington were discussed at meeting
of the Jackson Democratic Associa-
ton at the New Ebbitt Hotel last
evening. A map was presented by
William Mex. Clayton, president,
showing the locations of the various
districts, or voting precincts. which
have been in existence since 1870.
Under this system there are twenty
two districts, from each of which two
delegates are elected to the demo-
cratic state convention. and this con-
vention selects six delegates and six
a!ternates to the democratic national
convention.
The manner in which the last pri-
mary election in this city was con-
Quoted in 1890, it was said, was cause
Tor changes. With a view to going
pefore the democratic national COM
hlttee i'll January with some tangible
program and request that a state CEN
tral committee be named, the author
itN of which would be paramount. it
was decided, upon motion by James
;. Easily Smith, that Washington be
redistricted upon the basi of the
voting population into not more than
thlrty precincts, and with continual
tion OF the convention system
The proposed changes would regu-
late the districts so that each would
contain between 10000 and II, 900 per-
sons. 1t was said that under the zon-
ing method now employed business
sections and outlying districts which
are sparsely populated have the same
number of representatives as the pre-
cincts which have $4,000 or more
people.
The merging of the National Demo-
"ratic Club of the District of Column
bia with the Jackson Democratic As
Sociation was urged in a motion by
j. V. Morgan, and a committee. was

tive committee of the club upon the
