U. S. REGULARS ON
WAY TO GLOBE, ARIZ.
Copper Strike Situation Beyond
Control of State Officers
and Governor Campbell
Calls for Assistance.
Douglas, Ariz., July 5. Four troops
of United States cavalry with a ma
chine gun troop left here early' today
for Globe because of strike disorders.
They are due to arrive at Globe early
tonight
Situation Out of Hand.
Phoenix, Ariz., July 5. A long dis
tance message received this morning
by Attorney General Wiley E. Jones
from County Attorney Hugh M. Fos
ter at Globe, stated that the situation
is entirely beyond local control and
that united states troops from Doug
las have been ordered to the scene on
the recommendation of Major Charles
M. Bundell, who is on the ground rep
resenting tne government.
At the omce of the governor, jt
was later announced that 400 regular
troops from Douglas have been or
dered to the scene.
Troops on Special Train.
It is understood here that these
troops left Douglas on a special train
this morning and, according to state
ments at the office of the Southern
Pacific,, the train with troops should
arrive in Globe this afternoon about
5 o'clock.
In his message to Attorney General
Jones, County Attorney Foster stated
that he and twenty-five peace officers
have been compelled to sleep in the
federal building with their clothes on
several nights. There are at least
3,000 strikers with arms, he stated,
and tht entire armed force of citizen
deputies is about 300.
Situation Tense Early in Day.
Globe, Ariz., July 5. Rapid devel
opments were expected today in the
tense situation brought about in the
Globe-Miami copper mining district
by the strike of 7,000 miners belong
ing to the Metal Workers' Industrial
union, an Industrial Workers of the
World organization, and the Interna
tional Union of Mine, Mill and
Smelter Workers. Serious clashes be
tween mobs of striking miners and
300 armed citizens, who cleared the
streets twice yesterday, were averted
only by appeals of Governor Thomas
E, Campbell to the miners and the
guards to disperse. "
Governor Campbell admitted that
the situation as found by him was
fully as serious as represented be
fore he left Phoenix and he expressed
the belief that federal aid would be
necessary to prevent trouble. Whether
the governor had asked for federal
troops was not made public, although
Major Charles BundeU U S. A., ar
rived yesterday and made a military
survey of the situation. John Mc
Bride, representing the Department
of Labor, is expected here today.
Outlook at Bisbee Better.
Conditions in Bisbee and in the
Cliftoit-Morenci district, where strikes
also are in progress, are more tran
quil. No clashes between the strikers
and miners remaining at work have
Occurred. Operators at Bisbee ex
pressed the belief that the number of
men at work would show a large in
crease today and were confident that
the backbone of the strike had been
broken.
,) Liquor Given to Strikers.
The situation at Globe as described
by W. J. Borland, an eastern news
paper man who returned from that
place today, as threatening. "Liquor
is being brought in and drunkenness
is seen on the streets," said Borland.
"Cannon, one of the leader of the
international union which is opposing
the I. W. -Wr, openly charges the
I. W. W. with "laving introduced the
, liquor and with supplying union men
with it to bring about discord."
The most serious trouble was an
ttcipated tomorrow, according to Bor
land, when an effort will be made to
operate the smaller mines, which have
' accepted the conditions of the union
strikers and which the I. W. W. have
declared will not be permitted to
operate.
It is now expected that the arrival
of United States troops will enable
these men to return to work tomor
row. '
Clifton, Ariz., July S. Sheriff
Slaughter continued swearing in depu
ties today for possible use in emer
gencies growing out of the copper
strike here, There has been no dis
order. A Mexican mine workman
killed another worker last night, but
investigation today disclosed the mur
der had no direct connection with the
strike.

cording to dispatches reaching here,
that a further British offensive was
expected north of Arras, where Gen
eral Hatg apparently is preparing ac

said the abandonment of the Saloniki

farded the Italian offensive on the

TROOPS OF D.S.
MARCH IN PARIS
(Continued from Fat Om.)
of French soldiers, on leave from the
tront, were among the masses of peo
pie along the route. Hundreds of
people left the sidewalks and rushed
forward and shook hands with the
American troopers. Other hundreds of
rrench soldiers, in trench work uni
forms, stained and dingy, joined the
marching troops on either side in
columns and continued for miles,
Some of them wore bandages on their
heads, and others had their arms in
slings from recent wounds. Children
ran forward, throwing flowers in front
of the marching American troops, and
flowers were tossed from the side
walks or came fluttering down from
windows. They were caught by the
American soldiers, who stuck them in
the muzzles of their rifles or tucked
them in their belts.
The crowds removed their head
coverings in salute to the Stars and
Stripes as the colors passed along,
from every window women and girls
waved handkerchiefs or flags, while
everywhere along the route sounded
the acclaims of the French people.
The people called out, affectionately,
"Sammies" and "Teddies." The name
Teddy became suddenly popular as an
expression of good will, perhaps be
cause it is easily pronounced by the
French.
Children from all the primary
schools in the Quarter were given the
best places. Along part of the ave
nue Daumesnil there were thousands
of them calling:
"Teddy!" "Teddy!" "Teddy!" and
throwing flowers. The American sol
diers, affected by all this enthusiasm,
smiled and waved their bands at the
children.
French military men frequently
commented on the appearance of the
American soldiers, their snappy
marching gait and their soldierly air.
The mounted republican guard
joined the escort near the city hall,
where the parade was reviewed by
the municipal council. General Persh
ing and his staff were received there
at the same time. The crowds in the
great open places near the city hall
were massed so densely that the au
thorities had difficulty in keening the
line of march open.
At Picpus cemetery, where General
Lafayette is buried, the American
troops passed through the arched
gateway to the old convent, where
they rested in the large garden. In
the little burial ground adjoining
were gathered 300 or 400 persons, in
cluding prominent Americans and
frenchmen. .
H. Cleveland Coxe. as delegate of
the Sons of the American Revolution
from the Empire state society, placed
a wreath on the plain stone slab
above the grave of General Lafayette
in the presence of Ambassador Sharp,
General Pershing and Marshal Joffre.
Ambassador Sharp, Minister Whit
lock, M. Painleve and Colonel Stan
ton, the latter representing General
Pershing, made addresses.
Address by fershlng.
General Pershing himself spoke
earnestly of the determination of the
American people and the American
government fighting alongside their
allies in Europe to maintain the just
cause of liberty. His remarks were
received' with tremendous cheering.
The American soldiers marched to
their barracks nearby through dense
crowds and remained there until this
evening, when they left quietly for
their training camps.
In celebration of Independence day
restaurants throughout Paris put
dishes suggesting America on their
bills of fare, such as chicken a la
Wilson, independence cake, turbot
Lafayette, American cream soup and
peaches Rochambeau. The various
theaters gave special Fourth of July
performances, among them the
Comcdie Francaise. v
c It was said at police headquarters
by officials familiar with previous
demonstrations that this was on a
greater scale than any they have ever
seen before. They declared that at
least 1,000,000 people must have seen
the parade. !

June Rise Comes.
This had not subsided when the
June rise came on, the result of the
thawing of the snow in the mountains.
The river is still booming under the
influence of this thaw, augmented by
the frequent heavy rains up the val-
lev: . ' . ''a
Oeologists say it is likely that a
softer stratum of earth has been
reached by the river as it cut the bank
nearer the town, and that therefore
it is now cutting faster than it did
during the years when the bank still
extended farther out from town,
where the soil texture was tougher.
The length of the bend where the
damage is being lone is so great, and
the current so swift, that rip-rapping
is out of the question. The result is
that the few hundred inhabitants that
make up this historic old river town
of Nebraska are just helplessly wait
ing, day after day and night after
night, to see how many homes will
have to be moved before the river
subsides.

lished. to
Washington, July 5. The War de
partment here continues to censor
news dispatches from Fance which
have already been passed by foreign
censors.
It deflects incoming cablegrams at
New York to Washington, where
they are censored and turned over to
representatives of the press associa
tions and sent to New York offices,
the cablemessages are addressed. The
Associated Press accounts of the
Fourth of July celebration in Paris
were among the dispatcnes thus de
flected and delayed.
Secretary Baker in a statement last
night said that the present arrange
ment is temporary and will be main
tained "only so long as is necessary
to perfect a smooth working plan to
handle this matter without imperilling
the lives of American citizens. '
Mr. Baker has made no effort to
find legal authority for the establish
ment of the new censorship, he said,
and does not intend to ask tor legisla
tion in that regard.
"The secretary of war, he said, by
unanimous consent is empowered to
take any steps necessary for the pro
tection of American soldiers."
Neither Secretary Baker nor Secre
tary Daniels would express any opin
ion today as to whether word of the
departure of American troop trans
ports had been transmitted to Ger

had been laid. Both indicate that they

It was made clear, however, that ad
ditional precautions to prevent such
happening were being considered.

The War department censorship
has been in operation since Tuesday
when by official order all news cables
from France began to be diverted to
the secretary of war for his inspection,
instead of being delivered to those to
whom they were addressed.

the north solidly against the imperial
restoration, the situation has begun to
clarify to a certain degree and cau
tious feeling is expressed that Chang
Hsun may have overplayed his hand.
If the anti-monarchical forces are able
to join in an effective co-operation it
is thought possible that the Peking

largely confined, can be overwhelmed.
Shung Hsun's army, however, is
formidable and the future offers many

LOUIS L. MARCELL
MEDICAL SHARPS
IN PERJURY TRIAL
Great Array of Witnesses to
Testify at Trial of Dr. F. A.
Butler in the fed
eral Court.
A great array of witnesses and
medical experts is gathered in the
federal court to try the case of Dr.
Fletcher A. Butler of Harvard, Neb.
Dr. Butler is charged with perjury.
He was a witness in the case of John
A. Moore, Omaha attorney, against
the Union Pacific railroad two years
ago, in which Moore was given a ver
dict of $68,500 .for personal injuries
in a collision of a Union Pacific train.
He subsequently settled the judg
ment for $50,000 cash.
Moore contended that the injuries
caused hiin to be subject to epileptic
fits. Dr. Butler was one of the rail
road's witnesses and he and others
testified that Moore was subject to
epileptic fits before the accident.
After the trial of the Moore case
Dr. Butler and five others were in
dicted for perjury in connection with
their testimony in the case.
The trial of the case Thursday was
largely taken up with the attempt of
the government to introduce a num
ber of hypothetical questions regard
ing epilepsy. Attorney Gurley for
the defense interposed vigorous ob
jections and the court made long rul
ings, so that sometimes it took ten
minutes to get a question answered.
Experts Testify.
Dr. F. E. Coulter of Omaha and
Dr. A. J. Jenison of Harvard were
expert witnesses for the government
and answered hypothetical questions
regarding the testimony of Dr. Butler
at the Moore trial, which was that
Moore, who lived in Harvard at that
time, had an epileptic fit in his office
when Butler was present, that "he
gave a sort of gurgling sound, pitched
forward on the table, his muscles be
came rigid, his eyeballs rolled and he
frothed at the mouth."
A check written by Moore on the
same day as the alleged seizure, Feb
ruary 6, 1905, was exhibited and the
government sought to prove that if
he had suffered a seizure on that day
he could not have written the check
with a firm hand.
The case promises to be a long one.
The government has about twenty
