SIOUX CITY MAY BAR
WONEN'S LONG TRAINS
Councils to Pass Ordinance Prohibit
ing Trailing Skirts IN
Streets

CINCINNATI, July 15.-Dispatches
from Sioux City, Iowa, say the city
council of that place contemplates the
passage of an ordinance prohibiting the
wearing of trailing skirts in the streets
The leader of the delegation OF citizens
who is urging the passage of the ordl-
nance, a pioneer resident of Sioux CITY,
says that trailing skirts carry germs
and spread disease
Prominent Cincinnati women, when
interviewed. indorsed the short skirt
but not the Sioux City idea They say
that men cannot by legislation or otner
means make women wear snort skirts
or long skirts or any particular style
or pattern of apparel.
Women will wear what they choose,
is the verdict, though it is agreed that
all sensible women nowadays are cur
failing their dresses.
Dr. Mary J. Bonar, formerly district
physician, said:
BY all means shorten the skirt, but
not by legislation Dr. Louise South
gate thought that If the women of Sioux
City did not wear short skirts they
should, and therefore legislation was
unnecessary
| DR.. Sarah Siewers, woman suffrag-
| lSt, said that n the men said poSitlFeiy
, that women should not wear trails on

| DR.. Henrietta Buchanan, of Price Hill
clubwoman and social leader. said:
! Women everywhere are recognizing

 He is little above medium height, with the stockily built frame that marks the average player on the dia- mond.. He is smooth shaved, with dark hair and eyes deeply set under brow which, in conjunction with the rigid shape of his lower face, gives him a strongly marked individuality.

A WARM STORY FROM REPUBLIC
 OF MEXICO
Ignorant and DelUdGd Mex
 jeans Mob Archbishop

Guadalajara. Mexico. Aug. 19.-A ridiculous story that a man who had killed his mother, had been cursed by God for his crime, and was turning into Q horrible animal. with "a tongue five feet long. the ears of a mule and the claws of a vulture, caused a mob of z, 900 ignorant people to gather in front of the residence of the Catholic archbishop Jose de Jesus Ortiz in this city. It was reported that the man had been transported rom the scene of his crime 10 the archbishop's house in a mysterious manner, and that the transformation from man to animal was taking place there. The mob de- manded to be allowed to see the vic tim of heavenly wrath.
 The policemen guarding the entrance to the archepiscOpal residence were overpowered and the mob started to break in the neavy doors of the build ing. A detachment of state cavalry was hurried to the scene and soldiers rode into the mob with drawn sabers Two women were crushed to death and many persons injured before the troops succeeded in ciearing a space in front of the residence. Soldiers with fixed bayonets were then placed around the building.
 The mob refused to disperse until Archbishop Artiz appeared on bal cony. declared the story to be false and threatened the people with excom- munication.
 The only foundation for the story was the fact that a laborer. crazed by drink. had beaten his mother into a state of insensiDility. and, thinking that he had killed her and that he would be cursed, hastened to the arch bishops residence to ask for prOtec- ton. The fellow was arrested and lodged in jail.

through Phoenix over the new road. In addition to the connection with Galveston there would be connections with Beaumont and that section of Texas.
 The amount of traffic that would pass through Phoenix is something tre- mendous, almost incalculable. Fast mail trains that might hope to com pete with the Rock Island train would be added. Of course the Rock Island fast train will be coming through here on the Southern Pacific. When the two transcontinental lines get through Phoenix there will be dozens of trains through here in each direction daily and Phoenix Nill stand a good snow of having shops here for both roads.
 Cheaper freight rates, large railroad pay rolls and many people stopping over, who do not do so now on account of the inconvenience of reaching here, will be among the things that will make Phoenix grow. The great Salt River valley will then be entering up- on an era of prosperity due to the installation of the model irrigation system now projected and within de- cade after these things come to pass Phoenix will jump from it's present population of 12.OOO to a busy, bust ling metropolis. People with the or dinary amount of foresight can see that Phoenix has the very brightest prospects in view and that accounts for the fact that so many people who have had real estate on the market have recently withdrawn it or showed the prices up. But while many have bright hopes and much confidence in the future of the Queen City of the American desert it is doubtful if any one fully appreciates just what the future holds for this good old town.

DOMAIN TAXES
 STAND FOR THE RIGHT
TUCSON FRIEND STATES HIS 20 SETON ON THE EQUAL.
 PATTON BOARD.
(Tucson Citizen.)

AS a result of the expected c".s.s which occurred in, yesterdays deii5 erations of the Territorial Board Of Equalization, Hon. Alfiad g. Donau. member from the first judicial district. resigned in acqu!eseence to the wishes of Governor Kibbey.
 The question Of raising the assess ment on patented mines and on rail roads caused the split. Mir. Dolau has been active in his opposition to the proposition. erranat:ng. it is said from the northern counties. and was supported by Mir. Solomon and Mir. Bowman, the three voting solidly against the propo->,, increase, thereby causing a deadlock.
 Mir. Donau leaves Phoenix tonight for Prescott, and is expected in Tucson on Saturday. Speaking of his resigna' tion, Hon. J. NJ. Ormsby says that Mir. Donau favors taxation of producing mines, but is distinctly not in favor of the taxation of mines which are moi producing. a position in which he has the support of every mine owner and considerate citizen. With regards to the question of IailI cad assessments, MT. Ormsby states that Mir. Donau stands for fair treatment of all the roads traversing the Territory as op- posed to to the attitude of the balance of the board which appears to lean toward incerasing the assessment oi the railroads in the south to a point much higher than that accorded north ern roads. In his opinion the action of the Governor in forcing Mir. DonaU's rpsignatiCn will have an ili effect upon
 orial unity.

EXTENSIEE SANTA FE R. R.
 PROJECTIONS
Interesting Story Cf Great Building Plans Being Done

The story of how the Santa Fe rail road is going 70 swerve and bring it's immense transcontinental traffic through Phoenix is interesting read ing, says the Arizona Gazette, for most every one, but it is especially interesting to Phoenix people. The Gazette has already told how the Southern Pacific will come around so that Phoenix will be on the main line. Now it is in order to tell how the Santa Fe will do likewise.
 Grant Bros, the big railroad con struction firm. which has charge of the construction work for the Santa Fe, sent 500 mules to Albuquerque last week. The long cared ones will be put to work on the Santa Fe's inc known as the Belen cutoff. The Be len cutoff runs from Roswell to Albu- querQue and while that does not throw Phoenix on the main line there will be another stretch of the track, or rather several stretches of it built that will bring traffic through Phoenix to avoid the heavy grades of the present main line.
 One of these stretches of track is -n not to be built but to be correct, the greater part of it is already complete. This is the line running from Wicken- burg toward the coast. It has been completed to a point AS miles west of Wickenburg and trains are now run ming that distance. A bridge across the Colorado river is being built and this road will tap the main line at or near Dagnett When it is completed the Santa Fe will have tracks liIiit on the new main linS from Ta2EeJt to a point southeast of Wrinkle man. From there the line will ba extended to Silver City, New Me < co, wherr it will follow a stretch Jf track now operated by the Santa Fe. At Don1 Ana construction work will have to be commenced again and the road will then be built to Pecos, Texas and or to Sanangelo where it will again join tracks owned and operated by the Santa Fe.
 From San Angelo to Galveston the Santa Fe now has line and with the completion of the work mentioned here the road will have through line from San Francisco to Galveston run ming through Phoenix.
 The Santa Fe's line from Chicago to Pecos will also give a through line through Phoenix from Chicago to the coast at a much lower grade than that of the present route. Then trafhc from points as far west of Chicago as Wichita and Harper, Kansas. may be diverted to the Phoenix route by way of AIbuquerque to -Rincon and thence hy way of Silver City
 The Belen cutoff serves to open up a new country and can be used to car " traffic from the east into Albuquer- que for that point and other points as far as Prescott on the main line. This would naturally be diverted from the present main line to avoid the heavy grades east of Albuquerque. It would go to Roskell over the line now lead ing through that city to Pecos. Texas
 The Frisco which connects with the Santa Fe's lines at Temple, Texas running there from St. Louis, would also send a large amount of traffic
