one reverse lever and two starting

no lubricators, injectors, air-pumps,

 It is announced that final ar engagements have been made by the company for the immediate con- struction of this branch from San Angelo to Allende. It is about 175 miles from San Angelo to Del Rio and another seventy-five miles from Del Rio to Allende.

 According to Officer Archbold, both the prisoners protested their innocence until discovery of the opium was made. Then, it is al- legged, an offer of $500 cash was made to the officers if they would allow the prisoners their freedom.
 The trunks had been checked through to the north, one billed to Oakland and the other to San Francisco. Trunks and suit cases were taken to the custom house in the Pacific Electric building, where they are now held.
 A third man, said to be deputy sheriff in Texas, is also implicated in the alleged smuggling. He is being traced relentlessly and may be placed under arrest at any mo- ment. Others in the gang are under surveillance, and will be ar rested if circumstances warrant. Several of the suspects are in Los Angeles, it is said. Customs Officer Pendleton and his forces are work ing on the cases.
 From the Arcade station, Mur- phy and Harris handcuffed to- gether, were taken to the United States marshals office in the Tajo building. After a few formalities were gone through with, United States Deputy Marshals Sittle and Quinn, who made the second ar rests on the warrants chargingsmug- gling, started to take the prisoners to jail. A mild attempt at escape was made just as the elevator was entered.
 One newspaper photographer re- grets the arrest to the extent of more than $200, for he has a ruin ed reflex camera as a result. He had attempted to take a photo graph of the two prisoners, who had warned him not to do so. As he leveled his camera at them,
 Murphy with a sudden jerk, broke away from the officers, and kicked
 the camera squarely. It flew into a corner, with Murphy dragging his shackled fellow prisoner after it. Again and again Murphy kicked the camera, reducing it to kindling wood and bits of glass, Both prisoners were brought into

AVIATION IN ARIZONA.
Flx,ng Machines at Phoenix Three
 Days Next Week.

OoyS NSAh
 PHOENIX, Arizona, February I'd, 191O.-Arrangements have been fully completed for the holding ot a monster meeting of Amerlca's most celebrated eronautic perfor- mers at Phoenix, Arizona, on three days, February 10th, l1th and 12th. The entertainment will be the second of it's kind ever held in America. and has been decided upon by the Phoenix merchants after the collection of large sum of money had been made to insure the success of the meeting.
 Glen Curtiss, the holder of many of the flying records of the world, is the foremost of the stars who will be in attendance. He will be assisted by Hamilton, who made many successful flights during Aviation week at Los Angeles, and by Willard, who has been much sought after by various amuse- ment promoters, since he made the successful speed drive at San Diego. The contract with these flyers in- cludes bringing to Phoenix of no less than ten monoplanes, biplanes and spherical balloons. Account of the unusual climatic conditions prevailing at this period of the year at Phoenix, all of the stars are anticipating their ability to break previous records, each in their particular line of air naviga- tion. When it is considered that this is the second great aviation meeting to be held in America, il is readily seen what magnificent Opportunity is offered the residents of Arizona to see the latest and most interesting invention of scien' lists.
 To entertain the thousands ol visitors who will come, Phoenix hal made special preparations and th' week will be made gala event The railroads have promised to dt sheir share by making special ex' cursion rates, and from the larger centers of the territory, will TUT special excursion trains. The pro gram as outlined will be yer, similar to the one given at Lo Angeles, which attracted severa hundred thousand people from al parts of the west. There will b. races in mid-air by monoplane and biplanes; a monoplane vii race an automobile around the mil track at the fair ground; a loni distance flight will be attempted the machine starting and fnishin at the grounds, and in the cours of it's flight, visiting some nearb, town. The height record will b tried for, and altogether the event will be the most interesting imag inable, and three days of entertain ment and education one shoul not miss.
 The expense of the promotio committee may in part be realized when it is considered that tn salary of MT. Curtiss, who has bee called the man eagle, is $5,000,0 a day.
