Whole No. 727
Important Decision.

The El Paso Herald states that the United States supreme court has rendered decision to the effect that federal courts have jurisdic- ton in the matter of actions for damages brought against the rail roads of Mexico where the rail- roads also operate partly Tn the United States. The supreme court decided this matter in the case of Chas. G. Page against the Mexican Central railroad, deciding in favor of Page. The case was first filed in the state court, Page asking for $25,000 damages for the loss of leg in an accident on the Mexican Central road in Mexico. The acci- dent occurred about two years ago. In the Page case the contention was made that the Mexican Central railroad is citizen of Massachu- setts and that where the injury was done to an American citizen, even in Mexico, that action can lie in the federal courts of the United States. The contention was further made in the brief of the defen- ant in error that the Mexican law provides that there shall be re- dress for personal injuries, whether the injuries result from negligence on the part of master or of the fel- low servant, that similar laws prevail in Texas and therefore the iss ue can be made and matter adjudica- ted in the federal courts of Texas, both parties being citizens of the
 United States, even though the injuries were received in Mexico.

King copper

Copper and brass manufacturing corporations, which consume the aggregate of 175,0O0 pounds of cop per per annum, state that they have much more business on the books than was the case year ago. Most of the large copper and brass mills in New England could operate full time to July on contracts on hand. In normal times, these plants never have on hand business for more than 30 days running.
 In wire and wire products, elec- tric fitting, and the genera! lines of copper and brass manufactures for the engineering trade, factories are from 60 to 100 days behind the usual periods between the booking and the execution of ofcontracts.-Ex.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
 MAKES PROPOSITION
Superintendent McGoVern's Offer to
 Property Owners on Morley Ave.

Monday morning Nogales was visited by Superintendent w. A. McGovern of the Tucson and Fl Paso divisions of the Southern Pa cifc railway, who came by special train, and remained here several hours.
 While at Nogales Superintendent McGovern held a conference at the depot with members of the town council, and of the board of trade, the party including also a num- Der of property owners with interests along Morley avenue. In the course of the conference Mir. McGovern presented a proposition to the prop erty owners along the street men, toned, looking to widening the principal business thouroughfare that will add greatly to the appear ance of the street, and enhance the value of all property fronting there on.
 Mir. McGovern's proposition is to grant ninety-nine year leases to the ground now occupied by the track running through to International street and east of the city park. if the owners of the properties adja- cent will set their buildings back to cover the space occupied by the track now and widen the street in front by that distance, which is about twelve feet.
 Most of the property owners along the wedge contemplate re- building very shortly, and it will be neither hardship nor inconveni- ence for them to do so. The only really permanent building in the entire wedge is that of Ramon Vaz, quez, of the Red House; and it is stated that he is very favorable to the proposition. Mir. Hagan, who owns the property occupied by Louis B. Fleischer's Boston Cloth 1 ing store is said to be. strongly in favor of it; and as MT. Juan Bojor- quez, owner of the Monte Carlo property is about to rebuild, the proposition will strike him favor ably, without doubt, because he will get more ground along In ternational street. Whether the proposition will be acceptable tc other property owners does not appear as yet.
 Incidentally Mir. McGovern stat ed that the side track will be re- moved entirely; and as it's removal will widen Morley avenue north from the wedge, the gentleman stated that the company wishes tht entire street widened to correspond Hence the proposition submitted

Tuesday, night the Board of Directors of the Board of Trade discussed the proposition of widen ing Morley avenne. The Town improvement committee reported to the Board the proposition of Superintendent w. A. McGovern, of the Tucson division of the South ern Pacific Railroad Company, to the effect that the company will give the use of it's land now used as track bed, in the rear of the Morley avenue wedge" to the owners of the lots and buildings comprising the wedge" if the property owners will move the buildings back, thereby widening Morley avenue some ten or twelve feet.
 The meeting of the Board of Trade directors was short one and with adjournment the directors all repaired to the town council room, where the council was in ses- sion, the latter having invited the Board of Trade Directors to a joint discussion of the subject.
 At the council room there was great enthusiasm shown and the general opinion seemed to be that the proposition of the railroad com pany, besides being a very generous one, has solved a problem that has vexed the brains of property owners for many years past.
 Some of the owners of the prop erty involved had been seen during the day by members of the town council and directors of the Board of Trade, and nearly everyone ap- peared to favor the proposition oi moving the buildings back onto the land to be donated by the railroad company.
 Most of the buildings are old adobe structures, there being but one two-slory brick building on the wedge" that occupied by Mir Ramon Vazquez. Plans had al- ready been formulated for the re moval of some of the old adobes and the construction of stone build. ings on the lots covered by them One of the largest buildings on the wedge" the Bojorquez building now occupied by the Monte Carlo saloon and restaurant, IS to be torr down in the near future and two story stone structure erected on the corner. Some of the other build ings are ramshackle affairs that should be torn down, anyway, anC the construction of more present able buildings, on street wide enough to present a good bushes: appearance, will more than repay the owners the expense of making the change.
 The only building of any partic ular value that need be moved back is the Vazquez building. Tn, general opinion seems to be tha all the others should be torn dowr and better structures erected fur ther back on the property so gener ously donated by the railroad com pany.

For years l have looked upon the wedge as something that sooner or later would have to come out. 1 have always thought that the longer it stood there the more troublesome and expensive would be the task of removing it. l have even thought that we might have to wait till there should be estab- llshed in business in Nogales men with sufficient capital to buy the property and remove the build ings. The town Is certainly not in condition to do It. But here we have a chance to remedy the fault ourselves, in a way that we did not expect. We have a chance to widen Morley avenue and make good business street of 1t, with very
 little trouble and expense. l think the railroad company has acted very generously in making the of fer and l think everyone should be willing 10 take advantage of the offer and act quickly in the mat ter"
 The street committee of the town council and the town improvement committee of the Board of Trade were instructed to work together on the matter, to see all the prop. erty owners and collect all the in- formation possible preliminary to to taking further action in the mat ter.
 Wednesday night the street committee of the town council and the town improvement committee of the Board of Trade met at the Board of Trade headquarters to devise means of bringing about an agreement with the wedge" prop erty owners on the proposition of moving back onto the land offered by the railroad company. The following gentlemen were present at the meeting: Council Commit tee-Messrs. A. l.. Peck, A. A. Doherty, F. J. Duffy and w. A. OConnor; Board of Trade Con- mittee-Messrs. Con. O'Keefe, |. \ Burgoon and H. N. Kelsey.
 The result of the meeting was the drawing up of the following question, addressed to the owners of the property involved in the proposed deal, and which is now being submitted to the property owners by the members of the two committees, who will endeavor to get definite answers on the propo- sition:
 Will you agree to move your building back fourteen feet, or less, the width of the alley back of the wedge provided that you can ob- tain an ninety-nineyea lease from , the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, for all the railroad ground you may occupy, at a nom inal rental of say $500 to $500 per year, and thereby widen out , Morley avenue at least fourteen } feet, improve the city and enhance the value of property on both sides , of Morley avenue, in the neighbor- hood of the 'wedge?"
 Mir. Dan Hagan was the only one of the wedge property owners present at the meeting Wednesday night and he readily agreed tc move back without any expense tc : the city, and says he will erect a better building than the one now on his property as soon as he car
