Nickel Association Claims
Ordinance Is Discrimina
tory and Unfair.
Alleging that the new motor bus
ordinance which becomes effective
June 25. is discriminative, 47 members
of the Independent Nickel Auto Opera
tors' association filed application in the
65th district court Wednesday after
noon for an injunction restraining the
city from enforcing the ordianee. Judge
Ballard Coldwell set the date of hear
ing for Friday morning at 3 oclock.
The application for an injunction
names the city of El Paso, Tom Lea.
mayor, and Don Johnson, chief of po
lice, as defendants. The petitioners aie.
as follows. B. Palmer. Jack Litchfield.
T Davis. C W. Williams, E. F. Johnson.

Cannot Slake Bond.
The application sets forth that the
petitioners are unable to comply "with
the law in that they cannot procure
signatures for the $1000 bond per car.
They maintain that the 50 license tax
is excessive and discriminatory in that
other passenger carrying vehicles in
the city are not compelled to pay the
license.
It is claimed that the ordinance is
discriminatory, in that other passenger
carrying vehicles are not required to
inva bond.
It is represented that the new law
will compel them to operate over cer
tain routes and between certain termini
and will give them no opportunity to
engage in the carrying of passengers
by the hour to points off their specified
routes. In this they claim discrimina
tion. Compelling the operators to main
tain a service eight nours during the
day on specified routes, whereas other
vehicles for carrying passengers are
not thus restricted, is class legislation.
o Emergency Need.
The power of the recorder of the cor
poration court to revoke licenses with
out hearing is regarded as discrimina
tor! Exception is taken to the emerg
ency clause which reads. That the
threatened increase in the running of
'jitnes and motor busses constitutes a
great public emergency, justifying the
suspension of the charter rule requir
ing the reading of the ordinance at two
regular meetings." The petitions repre
sent that there is no such emergency
nor Is it likely to arise, and that since
the arrival of the jitne there have been
no accidents of any consequence.
The petitioners state that the Jitne
company has been able to make bond
and. if the law is enforced, the Jitne
company and the street railway com
pany will have a monopoly of the pas
senger carrying business of the city.

LEPROSY FEB
NIT JUSTIFIED
A San Francisco Physician
Says It Is but Slight
ly Contagious.
San Francisco, CaL, June 51 Horror
of leprosy is an inheritance from the
middle ages and is not Justified by the
facts, said Dr. Douglass W. Mont
gomery of San Francisco, In a paper
presented this morning before the 66th
annual session of the American Medical
association. The repulsive appearance
of leprosy and the fear of its extreme
contagion due to misunderstanding of
the nature of leprosy as mentioned in
the Bible have created a belief in ti-.e
public mind that leprosy is extremely
contagious. This belief, says Dr. Mont
gomery, is not founded on fact. Lep
rosy is very slightly contagious, and
is a slowly progressive disease, much
less dangerous to the communtiy or to
the individual than smallpox, tubercu
losis and many other diseases.
Vtktm MckneM Inanrnnce.
Sickness insurance was advocated by
Dr. B. & Warren of the United States
health service, as a means of overcom
ing the handicap of poverty among
wage earners. Dr. Warren showed that
disease is more prevalent among low
paid workers than among better paid
and that fully one-half of the wage
earning families of the United States
do not have an Income sufficient to
maintain a healthy standard of living.
A governmental system of sickness In
surance for working people would in
crease their economic independence as
well as their physical condition, he
said.

NEGRO ARRESTED ON MURDER
CHARGE WHEN CROSSES RIVER
George Hays, a negro, was arrested
by the police and detectives as he came
across the Santa Fe bridge at 4 30 Wed
nesday afternoon. At the station he

tion with the shooting of Alonso
Cress, another negro, Thursday of last
week.
Cross died at the county hospital
Saturday afternoon. His wife stated
that he had been accidentally shot,
but In his dying statement, made be
fore district attorney W. W. Brldgers."
Cross maintained that he had accident
ally shot himself.

CEMENT COMPANY WILL GIVE
COUNTY A ROCK BOTTOM RATE
"The Southwestern Portland Cement
company -will sell cement to the county
for road purposes at tee same price
paid by the United Scales government
for the reclamation work." said S. C
McCurdy. sales manager of the com
pany, today. "The company feels that
it ran afford to make this very cJoso
price in order to promote the building
of good permanent roads. A formal of
fer will be made to the county commis
sioners to this effect."
This will enable the letting of bids
for the work without the bidders hav
ing to figure on the. price of cen-ent,
which Is one of, the largest items in
the cost ef concrete roads.

LL unnecessary noises in the
operation of automobiles must
cease, or some stiff fines are
going to be imposed in the corporation
court." said Paul D. Thomas, recorder.
"Complaints are reaching city officials
continually of the use of the 'cut-out'
by drivers of machines, and as there is
an ordinance prohiting unnecessary
noises, the police will be clearly within
the law in making arrests. And if ar.
! rested, fines will be imposed in the eor-
poration court. The complaints come
i principally from people living on
streets on which there is heavy auto
I mobile traffic Some claim that they
are uisiurDea at all nours or tne nlgat
by drivers opening up their mufflsrs
when speeding up As tbe use of the
'cut-out' is regarded as unnecessary in
the operation of machine, it should be
and will be stopped."
"Galveston is looking forwara to an
other good year in shipping." said E. O.
Flood of that city. "The prospects are
good for a large cotton crop and re
ports seem to indicate that the wheat
crop will be large. Despite the Eu
ropean was Galveston enjoyed a good
season of shipping last year, and the
outlook Is for a better season this
year." j

"A splendid advertisement for El I
i'aso would be the erection of tall steel
tower in San Jacinto plaza." said A. E.
Rowlands. . "The tower could be con
structed at comparatively small cost if
hollow steel piping were used. It could
be illuminated at nights and would 1
seen for miles around. The tower would
be the "Eiffel tower" of the southwest
and would be a permanent advertise
ment that would attract much atten
tion to the city."
"Some action should certainly be
taken to secure the routing of auto
travel through El Paso," said Fred
Shay. "When the Borderland route was
first proposed El Paso had a hard light
to have it come to this city. Much
money has been spent at different times
in advertising this town to autoists in
the east but this money has been prac
tically wasted as the autoists have not
oven been told how to get here. No an
tolst is going to leave a well sign post
ed and logged road for one that be
knows nothing about. Auto tourists are
the wealthy class and every party cum- .
sng tnrough here could be estimated s.3
spending at least S10 each. This would
mean the bringing into El Paso each
year of thousands of dollars of outside
money."
"We had a case In police court the
other day which created no sympathy
In me and I was only sorry judge Paul
Thomas could not have given the man
a stronger fine," said Capt. W D. Greet.
"A mush-mouthed individual was in
the prisoner's dock charged with pass
ing a worthless check on a poor con
sumptive who is In a dying condition
and who is almost out of money and Is
helpless. The check was only for a
small amount but to think of taking
advantage of a man in that condition
made my blood boil. The man prom
ised to make the amount of the check
good and we turned him loose with the
understanding that a fine of 55 would
follow if he did not pay the money
back. In many of the cases that come
before us here at the police stat'on
there is some ground for sympathy,
either because of association, environ
ment or just plain bad breeding. But
that case fit none or these and the man
should have been sent to prison."
"The amount of building now going
on in El Paso indicates a state Of pros
perity," said H. A, Hudson, a visitor
from Albuquerque. "If president Wil
son is able to impress upon the -warring
factions in Mexico tbe necessity vt
peace, this city is bound to grow rap
Idly, situated as it Is. Several northern
men are watching the Mexican situation
closely and with the first indications
of a definite peace we will all be on
hand. We are not going to start any
factories but every small business house
counts, you know. The real purpose of
my trip here this week is to look Into
the business situation for some frit mis
of mine who are planning a commission
house here with possibly branches at
Albuquerque and Phoenix.
