Population of Imperial county as
of last July l was 1886 less than
when the federal census was taken
in the spring of 1910, the state
department of motor vehicles esti-
mated Wednesday after a state
wide survey.
Imperial county's population drop
ped from 59,740 to 58,204 or a 2.6
per cent loss. department officials
said.
News of the drop caused no rip
pie of dismay in Imperial county
as the population always drops dur
ing the summer months only to rise
to its normal winter level after
school opens in the fall.
The same survey credited Cali
fornia as a whole with a population
gain of 566,351 since census bureau
figures were announced more than
a year ago. The departments sur
vey was based on motor vehicle
registrations and was made by Vic
tor w. Killick, chief of the bureau
of statistics. Only fee paid private
passenger automobiles registered
were used in making the estimate.
He said the figures were all esti-
mates and the formula used incor-
porated some uncertainties.

Witness Missinu;
AFL Trial Delayed

NEW YORK, Aug. l8.-CUP)-
The Governments failure thus far
to find a missing witness caused
another postponement today of the
trial of George E. Browne, presi-
dent of the International Alliance
of Theatrical Stage Employees (AFL)
and his West Coast colleague, Will
lain Bioff, on charges of violating
the Federal anti-racketeering law.
The postponement evoked from
Henry A. Uterhart, Bioff's attorney,
the charge that the government is
stalling-the government is afraid
to bring this case to trial.
Browne and Bioff are accused of
extorting S55O,OOO from film COM
panies by threatening to tie up the
West Coast movie industry with
costly strikes.

County to Receive
.S34,281 from Auto

Imperial county will receive S34.-
28l as its share of the motor ve-
hicle registration fees from 24,662
vehicles. Sgt. Cliff Reed of the Cali
fornia Highway patrol said Wednes-
day.
This represent fees for the first
six months of 1871.
The apportionment of s8246,794

California represented the largest
single amount ever divided by the
department. 1t exceeds the appor-
tionment for the entire year Of 1910
by approximately $4,000, Reed said
One half of the amount appro-
toned goes TO the department OF
publics works, s4,l23,397. The other
half is divided among the coun-
ties on basis of motor vehicle

insufficient medical supervision
Of the jockeys, most Of whom tram
by their own rules or under the
guidance of ignorant handlers who
wouldn't be allowed 10 train a
horse, is responsible for many ca.
tastrophes in the riders ranks.
The torture jockeys undergo
in starving themselves is almost
unbelievable. Although il is not a
pretty subject, every one associated
with racing knows that hunger
sometimes overpowers the riders
so that they'll sit down and eat a
big steak-then force themselves
to regurgitate so their weight
won't be affected. Follow this sort
of abuse with Turkish baths, few
laps in a rubber suit and then a
rundown in which the rubber will
actually rub off pounds Of flesh
and you have a perfect target for
any kind Of infection.
Apparently no hopes can be en-
tertained that racing officials of
turfdom will do anything 10 remedy
the situation. Judge Joseph A.
Murphy. former presiding steward
at the Detroit track. has several
times proposed that the National
Association of State Racing Com
missioners try 10 push the scale of
weight upward so that horses will
be required 10 carry more
poundage.
