 Jalisco Times: R. F. Goodman the Southern Pacific locating en- gineer in charge of that portion of the extension between Guadalaja- "a and Tequila, has finished his work. The engineers are now breaking camp and will come to Guadalajara within day or two. The general location of the line was completed several weeks ago, and since that time the engineers have been doing revision work. An easy route has been secured from this city to Tequila. The Southern Pacific engineering part les are still in the field between Teqnila and the City of Topic. They have also completed the general location and are now working on revisions. The party now in the vicinity of Tequesqui- te will probably break camp with in a month, and the party in Topic will leave the field inside of sixty days.

MRS. LONGWO O.
STATUS CHANGED
AS Congressman s Wife, Not as
Presidents Daughter She /
Must Face Society.
\By w. w. Jermane.

Washington, March 2.-What viii be
the status of Mrs. Nicholas Longworth
when she returns to Washington This
question Is causing a good deal Of dis
cussion in society circles. As the daugh-
ter OF. the president, Miss Alice Roose-
Welt enjoyed unusual privileges social
ly. She returned no calls, save where
she was SO inclined, invited very few
people to the White House, and acted
st sity we e1d her-as it undoubtedly
AS Mrs. Longworth, the wife. of q
plain. member Of the lower house of
congress-, it will be her official duty to
call on the wives of all the other mem
bers of the house. She must likewise
call on the wives Of senators, upon the
wives Of the cabinet members, and
upon the wives Of the justices Of the
supreme court. Many of these calls
will not be returned, under the customs
that have prevailed here for years
. AS Miss Roosevelt, the young woman
in question was a privileged character;
but as Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, she
will be held to strict social accounta
bility. Society is now wondering what
to become very popular or very unpop
ular. If she continues her attitude Of
studied Indifference to social matters
she will be the latter; but If she be
comes more gracious and cultivates
the "mixing'5 habit, she will be the
former. The young woman isn't nat
urally mixer,' however, and it viii
only be after struggle, if at all, thai
she will become a part of the hollow
/ artificial and supremely selfish oficia
social set Of this capital city.

"ASIRAL' FINGER

Photographer Gets a Negative Of

Accident.

UVuTHdl 0poCldl ceIplCo'
Colorado Springs, Col, March BY
photographing the "astral'' finger of
man who had lost that member in an
accident several months ago, A. K.
Cutting of Colorado City, who dabbles
! in Photography and occult science, be-
.Iieves he has proved scientifically the
theory Of the ancient Persian philoso-
pher, Zoroaster, that man has a dual
or astral body.
Cutting yesterday called Joseph Muir
ply, a brakeman, formerly of Quincy
ILL.,, but now a resident of Colorado
City, into his office for the purpose OF
proving his discovery. A few months
ago Murphy lost the forefinger Of his
right hand in an accident at Quincy.
The men went into dark room and
Cutting asked Murphy to place his i'm
aginary finger upon a highly sensitizet
7 plate. After few minutes the plate
was developed. revealing the clear out
lines of the missing finger.
Altho fairly overwhelmed by his dis
covery. Cutting feels sure of his ground
He believes that he has proved be
yond doubt the theory of theosophists
that man has dual body existing il
some sort Of fluid form, which becomes
q counterpart Of man when released by
death of the body. Cutting made hi
first experiment. last Saturday, when hi
reproduced a picture Of his dead father
i on a photographic plate by simply hold
: ing the plate to his forehead and con
centrating his thoughts on his father.

The letter written by Nj. Patterson

ing a review of the present situation in
all branches Of his department.. AFTER
closing with this portion of his letter,
Mr.. Patterson says: --.-..,s..-ss.,.,s.z.,
cit was thru a common belief in the
cause of municipal ownership gof mu.
nicipal utilities that I first became &C.

resignation I desire to express publicly
changed. They have not diminished
They have enlarged. I used to believe
that many Of the ills under which the
nation suffered, and by which it is
threatened, would be prevented o.
avoided by the general Inauguration OF
public ownership Of public utilities. But
my experience in the department of
public works has convinced me that
this policy would not be even one
fourth of the way sufficient
Examples Abroad. T.
Mr.. Patterson then cites the cases
Of Great Britain and Germany. In the
former country, he declares, where
municipal trading has been highly and
successfully developed, the problem OF
the unemployed is becoming of ire
mendous and sad intensity. In Ger
many, where government ownership OF
railroads has been inaugurated anC
municipal ownership of public utilities

He then call the attention of thu
mayor to. two instances in this city
where large corporations have at
tempted, as he says, to- override thu
law. IT.

The first case is that Of the Illinois
