News of Deportation for
V Greater Part of Day,
' DOUGLAS, Ariz., July 12. A tele
phone message received at midnight
from Sheriff Harry C. Wheeler by
James E. East, Chief of Police here,
said that, as the New Mexico authori
ties refused to allow the I. W. W.
to be detrained anywhere in that
state, they were being brought back
-f this way and probably would reach
Douglas on the same train on which
they left, about 7:30 tomorrow morn
ing. !
Chief East issued a call to the city's
reserve police, numbering more than
200 men, to assemble at the City Hall
at 6:30 A. M., bringing arms and am
munition with them in order to take
charge of the situation.
It was reported here that while in
Columbus waiting to see whether they
would be detrained there, a number of
the I. W. W. made the statement that
they would hold up the first passenger
train coming toward Arizona, no mat
ter where they were taken off. If
they did this their expected . arrival
would coincide with Chief East's mes
sage, as the first train to come would
be the westbound "Drummers' Spe
cial" from El Paso, due to arrive here
at 7:35 o'clock.
Reports of Attempt at Concerted
Vprising Gain. Little Credence
at Washington.
"WASHINGTON, July II. The Fed
eral Government is watching closely
the Industrial Workers of the World
disorders in Arizona and other West
ern states, but officials here expect no
far-reaching consequences. Depart
ment commanders of the Army have
been instructed to take all steps neces
sary and there is entire confidence
here that they will speedily do so.
Apparently little credence has been
given reports that a concerted up
rising by the organization was to be
attempted.
The first official word reaching the
Federal Government from the disturbed
sections came tonight in a request
from Governor Campbell, of Arizona.
asking for the assistance of Federal
troops in maintaining order. The re
quest was referred DacK 10 unsauiei -
Oensral Parker. commanding the
Southern Division.
At a late hour General Parker had
not reported any troop movements, but
press reports of a military censorship
of telegraph lines were generally ac
cepted as indicating that such move
ments may be in progress.
At the Labor Department no word
had been received late tonight from
the Federal mediators sent to the
states affected to attempt settlement
of strike troubles. Press reports say
ing that they had recommended action
by the Federal Government to prevent
industrial paralysis led to the belief
that tomorrow might see some more
drastic step by officials here.
It was declared every resource of the
Government would be used if neces
sary to quell the disturbances.

DOUGLAS, Ariz., July 12. The
train carrying the Industrial Workers
of the World deported from Bisbee
today and turned back tonight from
Columbus, N. M., was due to arrive
in Hermanas, N. M., about 11 o'clock
tonight to be unloaded.
Unless the men can overpower the
guards it is not believed here that
there is a possibility that the deported
men will be able to return to Arizona.
Hermanas is a small village, having
few houses, one store, and is a rail
road junction.
DEMING, N. M., July 12. Word
received here from Hermanas late
tonight said the trainload of deported
men from Bisbee was sidetracked and
the engine detached when the train
reached Hermanas, after having
been turned back from Columbus. The
guards were removed from the train
at Hermanas. It is feared the de
ported men will hold up the night
westbound train and return to Bisbee.
COLUMBUS, N. M., July 12.
Nearly 1200 persons, deported from
Bisbee today, arrived here about 9
o'clock tonight. F. B. King, division
superintendent of the El Paso &
Southwestern Kaihvay, was in charge,
and was arrested by the local authori
w' ties for bringing in the exporters.
t There were more than 200 armed
guards on the train.
Local authorities refused to permit
the men to be unloaded here. The
Army officers in command here, who
had not issued any orders up to the
time of their arrival, threw out a
strong guard about the military es
tablishment.
Later King was released when he
agreed to take the men away, and the
train was started back toward Bis
bee. It was said here the men would
be detrained at Hermanas, N. M., 20
miles west of Columbus.
BISBEE, Ariz., July 12. A special
train carrying more than 1100 mem
bers of the I. W. W. out of this dis
trict arrived at Columbus, N. M., at
9:10 this evening, according to a spe
cial dispatch received here.
According to the information, the
military authorities at Columbus re
fused to have anything to do with the
matter and turned the men loose. The
guards who accompanied the train ex
pect to return to Bisbee in the morn
ing, and may be accompanied by many

Contracts were closed here today be
tween the Foundation Company, of Oils
city, and representatives of the French
government, whereby the former will
construct 40 wooden steamers for
France. Twenty of the vessels will bo
built at Portland, Or. The transaction
has been in process of negotiation for
several weeks, and it was necessary
to place the project before the United
States Shipping Board and gain ap
proval before closing the deal.
Charles F. Swigert. of this city, pres
ident of the Pacific Bridge Company,
as represented the Foundation Com
pany as far as the Portland plans are
concerned, and when asKed last night
regarding the contracts said he had
been hourly expecting advices as to the)
progress of the negotiations and that
the report was doubtless correct.
Oregon Gets Ble Concern.
The Foundation Company is rated
one of tne strongest ana among me
most successful construction organiza
tions in the United States, and the
coming of such an influential corpora
tion to Join the shipbuilding army in
Oregon is regarded as among the most
important gains that has been made in
a marine way.
It has been known for some time
that the company was looking over
this field and recently one of its en
gineers was in the city and inspected
ites. devoting much of his attention
to the O.-W. R. & N. "boneyard" prop-
rty in North Portland between the
mills of the Eastern & Western and
