CARRANzA DEGREES MEXICAN VALUE OF
 AMERICAN DOLLAR
Makes 1.SO Mexican Pesos Worth American Silver Dol lar, Based on Present High Price of Silver.
(By Review Leased Wire)

DOUGLAS, Jan. 25.-Mining men operating in Mexico complain of re- cent order of the CarranZa govern ment fixing the value of Mexican sil- yer as 1S0 pesos for one dollar Amer ican, superseding the former rate of exchange two pesos for one American dollar This rate applies to payments of duties and wages, increasing both by ten percent, it was claimed.
 Under recent ruling duties and wages must be paid in Mexican gold or silver. No Mexican gold being ob- tainable, silver pesos must be used.
 This ruling was made by the MeXi- can government, officials admit, for the purpose of taking advantage of the high price of silver. as contained in each peso. However, Americans affected claim that the government ruling has advanced an impossible proposition: that the Mexican gold peso which is equivalent to the silver one, has increased similarly in value, although its actual value is fraction under fifty cents American money. The real effect, they say. has been to destroy the work of forty years by removing the country from a gold to a silver basis.

MAY CONSTRUCT NEW LINE FROM PHOENIX
 TO CHANDLER STA.
Arizona Eastern Said to Have Awarded Contract for New Grading Which Will Place New Town on Railroad.

CHANDLER. Ariz., Jan. 25.- Con struction of a cutoff connecting Chandler with the Phoenix and Mari oopa line of the Arizona Eastern at or near the present bridge over the Gila River, and detouring of all traf- fic between Phoenix and Maricopa ov- CT the Chandler-Mesa line is being contemplated by officials of the Ari- zona Eastern. who are reported to have already let the contract for grad ing to Phoenix contractor Work on the new line, it is stated, will be gin in about two months.
 Shortening of the haul on ore and shipments of bullion from the Ray Hayden district to the main line of the Southern Pacific at Maricopa and the giving of better service to Mesa and Chandler are among the reasons given for the proposed change. Un- der the present arrangement all freight in and out of the Ray-Hayden- Superior district moves by way of Tempe, or about 20 miles farther than would be necessary by the proposed line. The new line, it is stated, would lengthen the distance between Phoe- nix and Maricopa by about five miles. The new cutoff will cost approXi- mately $100,000.

As a good deal of opposition was developed in both houses emanating for the most part from friends of the University, who believe that the appropriation by the government to that institution for mil itary instruction would be diverted.
 Honest Bill Favored
 The Printers Ink" misleading ad- vertisement bill with added sections prohibiting the advertisement of fake worthless mining stocks, was given a favorable report by the whole com miutee of the Senate. In the original bill the valuation of it was described as a misdemeanor with no other pen alty than that that attaches to mis- demeanors generally but the bill was amended providing special punish ment for violators of from six months to two years in the county jail, or a fine of from S10O to $1,0O0. or both.

SENATE DEMOCRATS
 DISAGREE ON REGISTRATION

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. - Demo crats of the Senate after three hour dehate in caucus tonight over the legislative program for the balance of the session. found themselves in such disagreement over measures that should take precedence that the whole subject was referred back to the steer ing committee with instructions to report to the caucus at later date.
 Water power legislation and the corrupt practices bill were among the principal bones of contention, ma nv senators declaring neither could be passed by March |. The steering committee will meet tomorrow.
 The sense of the caucus seemed to be that railroad legislation should be passed and the bill to be reported from the interstate commerce com mittee probably will be given right oi way for immediate consideration.

BEAUTIFUL GYPSY
 WOMAN FIGURES IN
 COURT ONCE MORE
Woman and Man Who Fig ured in Bisbee Police Court Again Heard From in South Carolina Escapade.

Mary Williams and her husband, John, are again into trouble of some kind. Both figured prominently in a police court escapade in Bisbee and subsequently,, in San Francisco. Mary's pretty face, with all of her Gypsy fin cry and her really handsome appear ance and demeanor, got into the news papers and a cut was published in the Review. The team has now retained Cole L. Blease, ex-governor of North Carolina, at Columbia, and he wants to know something of their predica- ment while in Bisbee.
 Her name, while in Bisbee, was Mary Adams. She was Rumanian Gypsy, and, according to her story. had been brought to the United States when a girl by the father of John Williams. She had been living with John and had two children by him. While in Bisbee her pretty face attracted many a man and woman to her fortune telling booth on Brewery Gulch and many a quarter and half dollar slid across her palm after she had told fortune"
 Bisbee police officials became ac- Quainted with the facts and arrested John, her common law husband. He was arrested on the charge of va grancy. He put up cash bond of $50 and was never seen again by the of ficers But a few months later the couple came into prominence in San Francisco court. They then dropped out of sight, to reappear again in Col umbia, South Carolina.
 Blease has wired to city magistrate Frank E. Thomas for the transcript in the vagrancy case against John Williams. He merely stated that there was a contest on over one of the children of the couple. Additional information is expected on the sub ject at any time.

FIRE NEAR TOM THUMB

Shortly after il o'clock last night an alarm of fire was given, and the whole of the department was prompt ly on hand, proceeding with praise worthy alertness to the scene of ac- ton, No. being the first on the scene. It proved to be an empty barn belonging to the estate of Salmon Sl- mons, deceased, just north of the res idence of Tom Thumb. It was lately rented by MT. James Porter, who cleared out the stock of hay some three days since. The engines did not proceed beyong the residence or Tom Thumb, the barn being isolated, there was no fear of the fire extend- ing, and their services would have been unavailing for no water was to be obtained.
 Not a vestige of the building re- mained. Itwas the cleanest burn-up we have ever seen. The fire was evil dently the work of an incendiary. We are informed that the insurance lon the premises expired a few days since and was intended to have been renew ed this week It will be seen by an advertisement in another column that the officers of the fire department have offered a reward for the detec- tion of incendiaries that are evidently prowIing about in our midst. It be- hooves our citizens to keep sharp lookout for the rogues.
