Students Are Leavinq

COPENHAGEN, Jan. 1.-(Via Lon don).-About one-third of the mem bers of the Ford peace expedition. the majority of whom are students. will leave the party at Copenhagen The remaining members of the party. about 100 Americans, are going to The Hague. The reason assigned for the students action is that it was thought undesirable for them to take the risk of voyage through the North sea.
 The expedition has obtained infor- nation that it will possibly take six days more time than is usually re- duired to move only in the daytime. Members of the expedition express the desire to reach The Hague. as they are unable to obtain publicity or hold meetings in Copenhagen.
 Mayor Lindhagen of Stockholm has arrived in Copenhagen and joined the party.

BASE WAGES ON
 PRICE OF COPPER
American Miners Vote for Acceptance, But Foreign CTS, Evidently Not Un- derstanding Proposition, Defeat Settlement
Special to The Republioan.)

CLIFTON. Ariz-. Jan I-An offer submitted by the managers of the Arizona Copper company through tho Citizens mediation committee of Clifton to the striking miners in the Clifton Morenci district. agreeing to resume operations with former cm- ployes with an extension of the pres ent scale schedule on a basis of % cent copper. provided the men would surrender their Western Federation of Miners charter. was voted down this afternoon. The proposal of the managers would put nearly 5000 men at work at higher wages than have ever before been paid in the dis trict and would guarantee further increases as copper advances in price It would mean an immediate increase of approximately 3 per cent over what the men were earning when they went out several months ago. but would not mean recognition of their demands from union stand point
 The mediation committee. composed Of neutral citizens of Clifton. has been negotiating with the union ex- ecutive committee and with the mine managers for several days II was understood that the union would agree To eliminate the Western Fed eration but would insist on substan- tiaI increases The managers were willing to negotiate as soon as they ascertained that the Federation would be eliminated. They then announced to the mediators that they were pre- pared to resume operations provided the strikers surrender the lccal Fed eration charter. The further propo- sal was To place the wage scale on a basis in accordance with the selling price of copper. Copper stood at 19 cents when the strike was declared and. adopting the scale then in oper- ation, it would mean that approxi- mateiy a , per cent increase would become effective with copper now at 20 cents.
 The executive committee of the miners this afternoon presented the proposition to the miners. Ameri- cans almost to a unit voted for ac- ceptance but the Italian miners unanimously and MeXicans largely voted against.
 Under the proposed schedule. the following schedule would be in

to warrant closing them. Those who did not engage in gambling laid them selves open to suspicion because of the use of cards. card tables. chips and other equipment ordinarily found in gambling establishments
 II is understood that this ie the first
 move in the direction of introducing before the city commission. a proposed ordinance that will effectualIv cover all forms of gambling not now specified in ordinances. Tho punch boards were recently ordered out. and the twenty six game was placed under the ban. These were the most open and flag rant forms of gambling and in the opinion of the city attorney strictly amenabie to the law.
 The action of Chief Brisbois last eveninS in closing down all the card games he could find in operation was not done under the impulse of the moment. It was only after the situa- tiOn had been carefully reviewed and after he had been advised by the mayor and the city attorney that it was not only within his rights, but was his duty to see that such places were closed.
 |" So far as l am concerned" said the chief last evening. "all gambliu. is going to cease in this city if it is within my power to put stop to it. have now the necessary backing and am going to see to it that the law is enforced. In visiting these places I did not attempt to ascertain whether gambling was actually going on in my presence. l told them to close up at once and they did
 In most of the ground floor places visited last evening there has been no secret that card games have been per mitted. The proprietors have how ever, caused it to be understood that these games were not being played for money and that ,"the house" received no benefit other than increased sales of cigars or other merchandise. It is understood. however. that stud poker. draw poker. panginSie, and other games in which money may exchange hands. has been played in several of these places.
 But the lid is on and the chief says it is on to stay.
