ifornia railroad, known as the Port Lobos railroad, from Sasco to Port Lobos, several carloads of equipment arrived in the Southern Pacific yards last night from the east, and are awaiting shipment to Sasco. The cars contain wagons. scrapers, extra parts of both, and various other kinds of equipment. It was reported several months ago that the first carload. of scrapers had been received at Sasco, but this rumor was later denied. It is believed now, however, that the present shipment indicates the proximity of actual grading.
 Douglas International: A federal sergeant who deserted today and was captured by Mexican officials on American soil, caused excite ment here today. The demand was general that the prisoner be returned across the border. An automobile was dispatched to Agua Prieta and the sergeant was brought back. He still wore his uniform and was given quite an ovation by the crowd. Colonel Mora, commanding at Agua Prieta, prior to releasing the sergeant, said: "He may stay in the United States if he wish or come back to us." Later it was explained by the Mexican officials that they crossed the line for the man feared that he would become intoxicated. The sergeant tonight, of his own accord, returned to Agua Prieta.
 Phoenix Gazette: The city council with meet this evening in adjourned session for the further discussion of the hide house prob lem. This has been a prolific source of argument and oratory in the council for several weeks, but it is expected that some definite disposition of the matter will be made tonight. The question be- fore the house will be, Resolved; That the hide house on Jackson street is public nuisance and should be abated, and further be it Resolved; That hide houses in general are public nulsances and should not be permitted to exist within the city limits. Strenuous objection to the condemnation of the plant will be made by the owner, who for some unaccountable reason fails to see any merit in the resolution. He has the backing of at least portion of the council and an interesting debate is pos- sible.

RECALL ELECTION
 NOT MOB ACTION
Senator Bourne Replies to Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Ireland

Washington. Oct. 15-Senator Jona- than Bourne, Jr. president of the Ma tiona1 Progressive Republican league, in statement today toek to task Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Ire landfor their criticisms of the initia- tive referendum and recall as practice ed in Oregon.
 The senator said that both reason and experience were ignored by the two prelates in their use of the words mob law and "mobocracyr in de- scribing the Oregon system
 M obs act under the sudden impulse of anger. fear or hatred, says the statement. Mob action is absolute ly impossible under the initiative or referendum because there is no less than four months of disucssion before a vote can be taken. It is also impos- sible under the recall because the re- | call cannot be invoked until petitions have been circulated and signed by at least 25 per cent. of the voters This takes weeks and gives the widest pub licity. Then the recall election can not be held within less than twenty days after filing the petition. Voting under such circumstances cannot be mob action.
 Nine years experience in Oregon demonstrates that the initia tive. refer endum and recall are not injurious to ! any personal right or legitimate prop erty interest,"
