Father Crowley, Late Pastor OF st. Msry's
at Oregon, Ill. Turned Out Of tho
Catholic Church.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Father Jeremiah
J. Crowley, late pastor of st. Mary's
church at Oregon, ILL.,, has been ex-
communicated by Archbishop Feehan,
of the Chicago diocese. The order OF
dismissal was the result of attacks
by Father Crowley upon fellow pas
tors of the Catholic faith and charges
of favoritism, fraud and cruelty
which he made at the time Father
Muldoon was consecrated as auxil-
iary bishop Of the Chicago diocese.
Father Crowley was warned repeated
ly to desist, but finally Archbishop
Feehan lost patience and compelled
him to resign his pastorate. An hour
later Father Crowley withdrew the
resignation, but it had already been
accepted by Chancellor Barry and it
was made absolute. Then Father
Crowley started legal proceedings to
keep his successor out Of the pastor
ate and renewed his attacks on
Bishop Muldoon. A week ago Cardinal
Martinelli, the papal delegate at
Washington, came to Chicago and
took final action. He gave Father
Crowley a choice Of two things-to
make humble penance and accept
without protest life within the con-
fines of monastery, or to be dismissed
forever from the rights and privileges
of the Catholic church. 1t is said
Father Crowley will appeal to the
none.

Powers, on the other side of the court
room with the attorneys, sat Arthur
Goebel, brother of the late senator
and governor, with his eyes fixed on
the prisoner. The Powers attorneys
shook his hand, expressing aloud
their belief in his innocence. Women
crowded around Powers, several EN-
braced and kissed him. Many were
crying. The defense filed a motion
for new trial. Judge Cantrill heard
arguments Immediately on the peti

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Because he was
denied the sight Of his two little chill
dren James Kennedy, a laborer, yes

to take them away from her she
told him they had gone to church.
In few minutes, however, when they
heard their fathers voice they came
running from bed room where they
had been hidden by their mother.
This enraged Kennedy and, pulling
out a revolver he fired three shots
at his wife, killing her He then

IMMIGRATION LAWS.
A Review Of the Report Of the
Industrial Commission.
an EDUCATIONAL TEST DESIRABLE.
A Difference Of Opinion Regarding the
Efficiency Of the Contract Labor Laws
Inspection Of Immigrants Unsstis-
fact0ry-Few Excluded.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-A review OF
the report of the industrial commits
sion on immigration has been made
public. It is in the form of sum-
mary Of the statements OF witnesses
who have been before the commission
and does not contain recommends
tions or conclusions. Witnesses who
discuss the effects Of immigration on
industry take two opposing stand
points," the report says. ION the one
side it. is held that they add to the
productive energy Of the country, and
that immigrants Of low intelligence
are desirable to do the rough work.
On the other side it is claimed that
the rapid influx of low-standard popu-
lation, especially those of southern
and eastern Europe, depresses wages
and lessons the amount Of employ
ment available for American labor.
"While it is admitted that the Irish
and Germans who came to this coun-
try before 1875 added materially to its
growth and prosperity, witnesses hold
that those who have come recently
from southern and eastern Europe
have had an injurious social effect
and have been exceedingly injurious
to American labor. 1t was not neces-
sary nor desirable 10 or IL years ago
to apply an educational test, but this
changing character Of immigration
makes such test now desirable.
"The contract labor laws were en-
acted between 1882 and 1891. The
law of 1891 defined more strictly the
persons to be excluded, and the act OF
1898 added large number of ineli-
gibles, so that it is estimated as re-
suit of this law that fully $4,000 per-
sons we're refused the sale Of tickets
within a year after it was passed.
The immigration laws, thus added
one to another, are not clear at many
points, and they have afforded many
opportunities for evasion.
Regarding the efficiency of the ex-
isting laws there is difference OF
opinion. One witness, testfying in
1889, held that the recent decrease in
immigration is largely due to the re-
strictive effect of the law of 1898, but
his conclusion seems to be unwar-
ranted, in view of the increase which
followed in the two years since his
testimony was given. This witness
lays emphasis on the annoyance and
vexation to which immigrants are ex'
posed.
"On the other hand, the larger num-
ber of witnesses consider the laws
and the inspection of immigrants as
unsatisfactory, and that only a very
small population of the undesirable
immigrants are excluded. The actua
number deported is from one-half o.
one to one per cent. of the total mum
Der of immigrants"

Had Nothing Else to Do.

An amusing circumstance trans pired in the court room a week ago Thursday in an injunction suit to restrain certain defendants from using certain water, over in the east part of the county The attor- ney for plaintiff plain'ively alleged that on account of defendant having diverted the water plaintiffs cattle were obliged to walk eight miles for water.
 Wv wha-what does does that s-signify?" in,erpolated Judg e Barnes, attorney for the defendants, in his inimitable way. "Tt-they haven't anything else to do. N-n-ow if they were work oxen 1t would be different"
 That closed the incident. but every face in the court room was wreathed in smiles for some time.

COLONEL Epes Randolph, who has been superintendent of the Southern Pacific Co.'S. lines in Ari- zona and New Mexico some six years past, has rendered his resigna- tion to accept the post of superin- tendent of the electric railway system in Los Angeles and vicinity. It is thought that the position thus vacated will be filled by the appoint ment of MT. Srouie, now division engineer. During his stay in Ari- zona Colonel Randolph has made many warm friends who will regret to see him leave.

les. An insurance policy of $500 upon THE OASIS plant was renew ed, and the premium reached al- most seventy dollars, where one year ago it was only forty-five dol lars-an addition of fifty per cent having been made to the rate. The statement was vouchsafed the editor that all the insurance in Nogales had been subjected to correspond ing increase in premium, and be- cause of withdrawal of the fire plugs. Now if this be the case the difficulty between the Nogales Water Company and the Nogales town government is proving a serious matter for the business men of the town. It is adding burden to their expense which they can i'll afford to carry. THE OASIS is in. formed that the difficulty has arisen over a refusal of the town board to pay the water company for water service. The plugs were put in under a contract with a former board, by which payment was agreed [So it is asserted by the water company Land no payment has ever been made under that con tract, all bills being rejected by the present board. So the company withdrew the plugs, the insurance companies raised the premium. and now they threaten to withdraw in- surance altogether. From the stand point as presented to THE OASIS it seems that it is the duty of the town board to fix up this matter with the water company at once, save the withdrawal of all insurance from the town and reduce to the old figure the premiums upon that now carried.
 In connection with the foregoing THE OASIS man interviewed some of the town board, and their version is that the water company disagreed with the board upon proposition to grantan exclusive franchise. i. e. the company asked such franchise which the board cannot legally grant and made a contract for twelve fire plugs at SI.5o per month each, conditional upon the grant of such a franchise. The board refused the franchise and the plugs were withdrawn. The state ment is here given just as it came from members of the board.
 It is no intention of this article to cast any criticism in the matter upon either side. But il insists that whatever the trouble and wherever the responsibility may lie, the con troversy between the town board and the water company is damag- ing to the business interests of the town.

MORALES CANNOT AFFORD IT.

Tuesday THE OASIS office was visited by Mayor w. H. Bonsall of Los Angeles. representing the Pa cihc Insurance Union, who has been in the town all the week upon business in connection with insur. ance matters.
 Major Bonsall informed THE OASIS that the recent disastrous fires at Globe, Williams and else where in Arizona, have made the Insurance Union very conservative and they have decided to cancel all insurance in all towns in the terri tory except where there is the most adequate fire protection. For that reason all insurance in Globe has been cancelled-the recent disin- corporation of the town and con sequent diminution of fire fighting facilities having made the town too risky for insurance. For sufficient reasons of the same nature all in- surance in the towns in the Gila valley-Solomonville Stafford, That cher and Pima-has been cancelled.
 Major Bonsall stated that he finds in Nogales an excellent water system and a good fire department. But their value has been dcpreciat- ed by having had the fire plugs withdrawn along the principal streets. This has been brought about 1t, is alleged, by some differ ence between the town council and the water company. Whatever the cause it cannot be permitted to continue, because if it is so permit ted the Insurance Union will order cancellation of all insurance in the town. Now the business houses of Nogales cannot afford to have theii insurance cancelled. It would be a blow to their credit which would stagger them greatly. As soon as the order for cancellation was pro- mulgated there would be general withdrawal of credit which would be keenly felt by every business house in tue line city.
 All business men in Nogales are deeply interested in this matter. THE OASIS suggests that something should be done immediately toward restoring the fire plugs and diverting the threatened cancellation of insur- ance. It is a matter which cannot be allowed to languish.
