Railway Construction Between Doug
 las snd Canauea.

The air is filled yet with rumors, as it was also last week, with re- gard to the construction of another line of railway from the interna tional border at Douglas, to the great Cananea copper mining camp AS stated in THE OASIS week ago, construction work had begun on Monday of the preceding week; but the report that work had been sus- pended but a week later than it's commencement, turns out to have been erroneous, for there had been no suspension of work, and up to this writing there has been none; although there is extant report that the Southern Pacific is preparing to appeal to the federal courts of Mexico for an amparO Conjunction or order) restraining construction upon the the ground that the line surveyed and in course of construction is within the exclusive limit of thirty miles upon either side granted in the concession owned now and operated by the Southern Pacific between Naco and Cananea.
 At present there are two con. ,struction camps in operation, and they are at points on the line oI the Naco-Cananea line betweer Del Rio and San Jose, just outside of the right of way, while the work they are doing is paralleling the line now in operation.
 1t is said that the new work i! being done under a concession granted at or about the same time of the concession of the Naco- Can anea railway, wherein the fedora government made liberal terms fo construction of a railway acros northern Mexico to connect tn Mexican Central and Sonora rail way, and that when the Souther Pacific took over the aco-Canane line this concession was retaine by the Cananea Copper Company The survey made last year betwee Cananea and Imuris was unde this same concession.

the horrible rites of the Skull Worship

The new picture to be shown at
Dodge's tonight is From Cabin Boy to
King The Golden Crown, a sailing
vessel in the South Sea trade, is about
to sail and there is no cabin boy
aboard, the last one having run away
from the brutality of the master and
the mates. The ship is one of those
floating bells now less common than
twenty years ago, but still existent A
bright young newsie comes down the
pier in the hope of disposing of his
stock of papers and is asked If he
wished to sail. He knows something
of the reputation Of the skipper and
his buckle mates, and smile and
shake of his head are his only reply.
He seeks another part of the dock for
nap before the afternoon edit ons are
out and some of the crew kidnap him
and place him aboard. His independ-
ent spirit is constantly getting him in
to trouble with the domineering skip
per and his bullying mates and a
month or so later, when they have
crossed the line and are sailing in
southern waters. he has an encounter
with the captain, while he is swabbing
the deck. The captains cuffs and
curses are met with blow from the
mop and the bully's wrath hollis over.
The boy will not make the abiect
apology that the captain demands and,
wild with rage, he summons the mates
and with wild imprecations declares
that he vii force the lad to cry for

from the ships rail to battle with the
waves until exhaustion shall merciful-

farewell and is carried off to the ship

Murder

William Percy Fox, charged with the
Killing OF Dennis Shea, was convicted
OF murder in the first degree by a Jury

BARRIE DIVORCE SUIT
SURPRISES FROHMAN
Plays Supposed to Have Been
Inspired by Wife

NEW YORK Oct. THE announce
ment from London that James NJ. Bar
RE, the playwright had petitioned the
English courts for a separation from
his wife, who was Miss Mary Ansell.
an actress, has created much comment
here.
The idea Of divorce in connection
with the author of when a Mans
Single" seemed incongruous. The won
derful grasp of feminine character
which Barrie has shown in his books
and plays has always been supposed to
have been inspired in some degree by
his perfect agreement with his wife.
Charles Frohman, the manager who
produced most of Barrie's plays, says
that Barrie's success with characters
for women was due to the fact that
he knew that when a woman trusted
her instinct and summed her reason
and logic she was~apt to' be right.
Frohman recalled an incident during
a rehearsal of What Every Woman
Knows" when Mrs. Barrie appeared
and held whispered conversation with
the author. When she had gone Bar
RE remarked to the manager:
You know the humiliating thing
about women Is that they are generally
