CRUSADE AGAINST
IMMORAL MEXICAKS
Depotations From Redlight
Districts Along the Arizona
and New Mexico Borders.

TUCSON, April 16.-Immigration
officials have commenced a crusade
which is likely TO result in a great
diminution in the population Of the
redlight districts of the various
towns and cities along the Mexican
border. A large proportion Of the In
mates of immoral resorts are Mex
can women. and these will be sent
back to Mexico.
The deportation Of this class Of wo-
men is undertaken under the section
of the new immigration law which
provides that any alien who comes
to this country and within three
years thereafter becomes an immoral
character may be deported. Many ar
rests have already been made, and a
general cleaning up OF the resorts
along the border In Arizona, New
Mexico and Texas IS expected.

SEWER SYSTEM
PRACTICALLY
IS FINISHED
Mains and Laterals Cover
Fourteen Miles; Cost 1884,
00lSufficient for Five
Times Present Population.

Bisbee's sewer system is practical
~ completed. On account of the non
arrival of material which should have
been here before now, the work can
not be completed until about the
tenth OF next month, but SO far as the
work to be done is concerned there
remains not over 1900 feet oI pipe to
be laid Part of this is to be laid
on upper Main street and part across
Higgins Hill The work has been W.
der way for four and a half months,
which will make five months near
the total when the work has been fin
ished.
The main outfaIl of the system is
composed, of twelve inch pipes with
the branches up Tombstone Canyon
and Brewery Gulcb running Ten
inches. At the upper end of both
these later streets the mains are re-
duced TO eight inches. The laterals
which line the hills are six and four
inches in diameter, mostly the lat
ter. The total cost, including the in
creased depth neces sary on some OF
the lines, will be $4,000. Thirteen
flush tanks have been located in dill
ferent parts of the city.
The contractors state that Bisbee Is
an ideal place for the installation of
a sewer system, owing to the natur1
grades. There is a gradual descen;
from both Tombstone Canyon and
Brewery Gulch to the business section
of the city and from there to Lowell,
and to the end of the system, 5000
feet from there. The grade runs as
high as fifty feet to the mile, and ow-
ing to the rapid flow consequent TO
this the contractors state that the
present system can easily accoiumo-
date population four OF five times
that of Bisbee.
Messrs. Chick & White, who were
the successful bidders for the con-
tract. have completed 1t in about hall
the time allowed them-ten months.
So far as is known their work has
met with the approval OF the coun.
Gil, and they state that they have
threshed out in an amicsb'e manner
great many vexing problems with
the city fathers.
The completion of the sewer sys-
tenn, In connection with the inaugu
ration of street car service, gives
Bisbee the only things she needed to
get in class with other eitivs of its
size. The health authorities also
state that the wonderful progress
which has been made in the stamp
ing out OF the annual typhoid few
epidemics, viii be still further sue
cessful because of the improved san
itary conditions incident. to the in
stallation of modern sewer system.

The Bisbee delegation will be es-
pecially prominent because one of the
leading local Odd Fellows, F. C. Fen
derson. is in line for election to the
position of Grand Chief Patriarch.
One Of the principal things that
will occupy the attention of the Odd
Fellows at Phoenix will be the loca-
ton of the Odd Fellows home and the
ordering of work to begin on it al
once. P. J. Mccullough, of this city
is chairman of the committee, and
there is no doubt that the recon-
mendation of this committee to locate
the home at Stafford, near Globe,
will be accepted. Mccullough, ~
chairman OF the committee, attemp-
ed to locate the home in Cochise
county, but as the home had to be
self-supporting, so far as possible,
and farming district was necessary
for this, the attempt was unsuccess-
full.

egation being seated Also | will say

HEADED FOR
Old PUEBLO
Advance Guards of Powell and
Smith Factions Leave For
Tucson on the Afternoon
Northbound Train.

The advance guards of the Repub-
lican delegations from Cochise county
to the territorial Republican conven-
ton which will be held at Tucson to-
morrow, left here on yesterday after
Moons train for the north, intending
to get on the ground early and pre-
pare their lines for the battle which
is sure to take place. Both factions
were represented in the crowd which
left yesterday. The leaders on both
sides were claiming q majority of the
Cochise delegation. The lest of the
two delegations viii leave for the
north this afternoon
The supporters of Col. l.. w. Powell
yesterday wore ribbons on which the
name of their candidate was promin-
emily displayed in big black letters,
while the Smith contingent also wore
badges with the name of their man..
Kirk, Overlook, Morrison and Hoval
A. Smith representing one faction,
were on hand, while McRsynolds, w.
z. Mckee and others left to throw
out the sl6irmish lines of the Powell
following The Smith crowd claimed
TO be armed with SO of the rs votes
that were in last Saturdays coRven-
ton. While the Powell aggregation
claimed Al. A majority of the remain
ing delegates intend to leave for the
Old Pueblo this afternoon.
1t may be construed as joke, but
1t is a fact known on the best au-
thority that one of the members of
the Smith delegation has during the
past ten days, not only increased his
life insurance, but in addition took
out an accident insurance policy. With
preparations of this kind being made,
there can be but little doubt that at
least trouble is expected, and it will
undoubtedly come.
1t has been. freely predicted, and
was admitted yesterday by some of
the delegates, that two conventions
will be held tomorrow. This will re-
suit in two delegations being sent to
Chicago. Which one will be seafed
is a question.
