Excitement

Prof. J. T. J. Morrison of Bir- mingham found that the person who had indulged too freely in alcohol was likely to fall inta a profound slumber within ten minutes after be- ing placed in the cell.
 This reaction serves to show whether the person arrested is sui fering from shock or excitement or from actual intoxication. The excited person is likely to be too much ex- cited to fall asleep soon after be- ing placed in the cell

GORDON ASSERTS
FLOOD MENACE
NOW REDUCED

In view of the concern through.
out the valley in the present and
future stages of the Colorado river,
particularly with regard to the pos
sibility of an unusually high flood,
the following letter received by the
! Press from j. II. Gordon, govern
ment meteorologist, will be of gen
eral interest:
! ''In view of the general concern
along the lower Colorado river over
the possibility of dangerously higi,
stages this spring the following
facts may be of interest to your
readers:
1.-The expectation of dangerously
/ high water was based on reports of
excessive snowfall on the upper
watershed of the Colorado river.
Actual measurements made about
April LIST bore out these reports and
ground fully so per cent above nor
NAL. This was the greatest amount
in quite number of years and held
possibilities of menacing flood
stages along the lower river.
April Dry
"April over the upper watershed
was dry, windy month. While the
lun-off reaching the lower river
was decidedly below normal taken
in connection with losses due to
evaporation and absorption by the
ground it has reduced the snow
cover more than the normal amount.
Instead of snow cover 80 per cent
above normal as shown April LIST
measurements taken May 1st show
an amount of snow but about five
per cent above normal. This does
not mean that all danger of high
water is past. 1t does mean that
the proba bility Of dangerously high
stages has been very much re.
duced.
1.-THE river a. Yuma is dropping
steadily at the present time and
will continue to fall until about the
25th. After that moderately
rapid rise will occur the extent of
which can not yet be determined.

THE BATH TRAGEDY

Without doubt diseased mind was behind the da-
bolical plot in Bath, Michigan Yesterday, which
snuffed out the lives of two school children of
tender years and those of five adults including the
poor, miserable wretch who responsible for it.
Fathers and mothers of American school children
stood aghast they read the horrible and heartrend
ing account of the tragedy pcturing in their minds
their children in place of the victims of the dis
aster.
No person matter how dcpraved he might
be, could plan and execute such fiendiSh outrage.
Providence performed good deed when it snuffed
out the life of this maniac though that fact cannot
assuage the grief and heartaches in many Michigan
homes
The American people place greater trust in
human nature than to commit their children to the
of the state each day. and those responsible for
their safety should be the watch to guard them
from all danger.
None will blame the Michigan school authorities,
who undoubtedly exercised every vigilance Indeed,
this fiend, being member of the school board, had
access to the school building and therefore be-
yond the ordinary jurisdiction.
Little can be done to tighten the sorrow of the
fathers and mothers who lost their little but they
may know in their hour of grief that they have the
heartfelt sympathy of the American people
