i i I a On Saturday afternoon by agreement of counsel in the case of Dr. Reum, charged with practicing medi- ine without the legal license to do so. was taken up in the county court on the law points involved. Patterson and Wallace, attorneys for Dr. Reum.

filed exceptions to the indictment raising the point that the law under which the doctor was being prosecuted was retroactive and ex post facto and therefore depriving him of his constitutional rights. Part of Section 8, Chapter xii. Title Ixxxii. of the Revisited Statutes cf Texas passed July, 1901, read as follows: and after the passage of this mendment it shall be unlawful for any person to practice medicine, surgery or obstetrics in this state except. First, all those who were practicing medicine in Texas prior to January 1, 1885; second, all inose who began the practice of medicine in this state after the above date who complied with the laws of this state regulating the practice of medicine prior to the passage of this act; provided those who had diplomas recorded since January 1, 1891, shall present to the state board of medical examiners herein provided for, satisfactory evidence that their diplomas were issued by bona fide medical colleges of respectable In case of a person having no diploma he or she is required to take an examination.

Under the old law the regular physicians claim any one could practice medicine as all he had to do was to present any kind of an alleged diploma to the district clerk and get his certificate that it had been filed. Undeu the present law, and Texas is one of the last states to pass such a law, the regular physicians claim this can not be done and that it is no hardship on any one who wishes to practice medicine honestly and has a diploma from a reputable college. There are three medical boards under the present law, the allopathic, homoeopathic, and eclectic, all three schools being recognized by the law. Dr. Reum admitted he had not submitted to the medical board his diploma, which is from Jefferson Medical College.

Philadelphia. He simply claims that the law is unconstitutional and abridges or tries to deprive him of his vested rights under the law. Judge Harper has taken the matter under advisement. QUESTION OF THE DAM Discussed By Directors Of the Chamber Of Commerce. CITY OF ST.

PIERRE J. A. SMITH MAKES INFORMAL REPORT OF WORK OF THE DELEGATION IN WASHINGTON Effort Will Be Made to Find Cause of Mexico People Opposed Because They Do Not Understand. At the meeting of the board of directors of the chamber of commerce last night at which President Browne, Directors Bray. Seeton, Springer, Noake, Stewart and Moye and Secretary Russell were present.

J. Smith, of the delegation which went to Washington under the auspices of the chamber in the interest of the international dam. made a report supplementary to that of Judge Harper and Senator Turney, the other members of the delegation, who came home before he did and had already made a report of what had been done up to the time they left in the effort to secure the passage of the measure providing for the dam. Mr. Smith reviewed the various ups and downs of the Burleson and Stephens bills with the congressional committees and subcommittees and spoke more particularly of recent committee action and the work done by the delegation, which, up to the time just before he left, seemed to be bearing excellent fruit.

From assurances made the delegation it did not believe there was any doubt of the Burleson bill being fa'vorably reported to the senate so the delegation devoted its time and labors to the lower house. It was decided that it was best to substitute the Burleson bill for the Stephens bill in the hcuse committees and this was done. Everything worked slowly but satisfactorily with the houe committee and he had believed a favorable report would be made. The bill went to the state department for approval and then went to the attorney office where for some reason it was held up and probably is now. Mr.

Smith says he has no idea why it is being held up unless it is on account of the opposition of New Mexico. He says there seems to be a misapprehension of the bill by the people of New Mexico. Mr. Smith suggested that a committee be appointed from the chamber of commerce and that Governor Otero of New Mexico be asked to appoint a similar committee for a conference. This idea was very favorably received, but if was decided to find out first exactly the obstacle the Burleson bill has encountered at Washington.

Mr. Smith said the delegation would at once get in communication with friends of the measure at Washington and ascertain what the trouble is. The other business transacted by the board principally of a routine nature. Secretary report showed a balance of $94.90 in the treasury after paying all bills, and most of the May dues yet to be paid in. The committee on transportation and commerce said it was at work with certain railroads in the effort to get better freight rates in and out o.f El Paso and hoped to have a more definite report to make at the next meeting.

Four applications for membership were received and accepted. A letter from the war department to President Browns was read. It stated that the board of officers had not included El Paso in the list of places recommended as locations for military training camps. A letter was read from Mrs. Ella B.

Hyde, secretary of the club, steting that the expenses of entertaining the visiting club women recently had been unexpectedly heavy, amount- to $230, and that any contribution by the chamber of commerce would be appreciated. The board concurred in the opinion of the special committee to which the letter had been referred that the chamber had no funds which it could donate for this purpose, Described By El Pasoan Who Once Lived In That Place- PASSING or OLD CATTLE TRAIL THERE WILL BE NO DRIVING THIS YEAR I Haif a MillionHead to Be Moved By the Various Railroads to Northern Pastures.

Goodioe, 212 Santa Fe street. PICTURE OF MISS FRANCIS WILLARD PRESENTED. To The High School This Afternoon by the Women of the W. C. T.

U. The presentation of an excellent picture of Miss Francis E. Willard to the high school by a committee from the W. C. T.

U. at thre this afternoon was a beautiful and impressive ceremony. Mrs. John F. Kellogg was introduced by Prof.

Roach, and gave a brief but comprehensive sketch of the life and character of Miss Willard. Mrs. Gould, president of the local. W. C.

T. was then introduced by Mrs. Kellogg, and with a few eloquent words drew the veil from the picture and presented it to the schooi. Prof. Roach accepted the gift on behalf of the high school.

Miss Trumbull, musical director, and the puipils of the school interspersed the exercises with beautiful music. Mesdames Robert and Abraham Silberberg of this place came from Santo Domingo island of Hayti, where they were born and reared. Robert Silberberg speaking of the Island of Martinique, where the catastrophe occurred a few days ago. said: is a small beautiful, tropical island and the richest of the French West Indies. The French government has always neglected these islands and done little to develop them, and now she is letting the United States and England come to the relief of the unfortunate people better than she.

France is a dastardly government; a republic only in name. A Beautiful City. wives have tola us a great deal about the island and its people. The city of St. Pierre was a beautiful place of about 30,000 people.

It is situated upon an open roadstead and the land of the site rises very rapidly from the beach. The main part of the city is up on top of a sort of plateau. The streets leading up from the beach are nothing more than stone stair cases, the steps cut out of the volcanic rock that forms the island. It was a modern up-to-date city, with a fine trade, electric lights, clean and progressive. The public park was beautiful in tropical plants and and ornamented with statuary, particularly a fine statue of the Empress Josephine, who was born on this island.

Character of Trade. trade of the island is principally in sugar, cocoa, coffee, and tropical fruits. The people are French. Creoles, native Indians, and negroes. The most remarkable thing about all classes of the people is their scrupulous cleanliness both about their persons and dress White linen, the costume of the entire population, is always spotless.

The blackest negro will allow no spot of dirt on his white clothing. classes are very well educated, the French possessions all having good school systems. Among the wealthier classes, even of the negroes, many of their children are sent to France to be educated. There is less race prejudice in France than in any other civilized country. People Industrious.

contrary to what is generally thought the people are very industrious and quite thrifty. They are also remarkably honest in all grades of society. Pelee. the volcano that has totally destroyed St. Pierre and the neighboring country, is a harmless looking mountain, not so large as Mt.

It stood about ten miles from the city. Many Misfortunes. West India islands have been remarkably unfortunate. The Haytien and Dominican republics on the island of Hayti have had their years of misrule under tyrants mingled with assassination of rulers and changing governments. St.

Thomas, our new purchase, has had its negro labor riots of the past and other unfortunate occurrences. and now Martinique has experienced the most terrible and devastating catastrophe that lias occurred per; haps since the days of the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum. iving Tug Boats. an interesting thing about some of the harbors of the French West Indies is not generally known. Many of them are extremely shallow.

Take for instance the bay at the city Sanana in the Dominican Republic. It is so shallow that the ox teams are driven out into the harbor for two miles, where the cargoes from the lighters are loaded onto the wagons. It is a sight worth seeing to look at the wagonr and teams wending their way back and forth through the harbor. St. Pierre has a deep water harbor.

One Experience. had a rather interesting financial experience in the Dominican republic about three years laughed A. Silberberg, it was not very profitable. We had an interest tn an estate in that republic. We figured we could save about three or four per cent by having the money sent here to us, by express, and gave instructions accordingly.

We found when the money came in the shape of a barrel of Mexican that the marine insurance, the insurance and charges of YVells-Fargo and other expenses left us about thirty per cent of the original amount. One of the principal items was a deduction of ten per cent for a monument to Columbus on the island ol Colon, a little rock about half a mile square and two miles from Martinique. This was the first land touched by Columbus and it is named Colon in his honor. The governments of some ol these islands had combined to build this monument and one of their methods of raising funds was to tax estates of foreign heirs. We contributed liberally you see to commemorate the discovery of the new This year probably not a single herd of cattle will be driven across the plains from west Texas and Mexico to the green pastures of Kansas, Wyom- 1 ing and Montana.

It is the passing of the old cattle trail which has made this western country famous. A few years ago as soon as spring opened the great herds of cattle wrere rounded up and started north to the pastures along the valleys of the Missouri and other northern rivers. The grass along the way was enough for the cattle to subsist on until the big pastures were reached. Tens of thousands of head of cattle have been transported in this manner in the years past, but it is different now. WThere it once took ninety days to make the long trip across the plains the sleek looking cattle are now placed in a train of cars and hustled across the country to their destination in ninety hours.

Wire fences, the disappearance of grasses and the deflection of streams of water have eradicated the historic i cattle trail. And too, the time is here when the demand for cattle makes it imperative that they be moved as quickly as possible and fattened for the market. Transportation officials of the railroads in the west running north and south have been busy and are busy now providing means for transporting the great number of cattle this year. It is the greatest rush in the history of the west. Cattlemen in El Paso claim that there will be moved from the great plains of Texas the territories, and Mexico to the pastures of the Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming and Kansas not less than half a million head of cattle.

These cattle represent a wrealth of ov-! er $11,000,000 and every animal is worth from five to nine dollars more than cattle were a fewT years ago. The cattle going north this year will be sold on the market next summer. i The Santa Fe Rock Island roads are hauling the bulk of the cattle from west Texas and Mexico. The Santa Fe 1 alone has received more than 400 new cattle cars to say nothing of the hun- dreds which they already had. ------------o------------ CAPTNI MOSSMAN IS MADE A DEPUTY MARSHAL For New Mexico and Arizona, and Officers of Either Territory May Now Make Arrests in the Other.
