 GLOBE, August 1.-Globe was prac- tically placed upon wartime footing tonight when Lieutenant Colonel George P. White, commanding the United States cavalry in the district issued a public proclamation stating that all miners and other workers de- string to return to work would have the protection of armed forces at his command.
 Colonel Whites proclamation fol- lows:
 'In view of the conciliatory attitude recently adopted by the mine operators and the Western Federation of Miners in this district and the evident desire on the part of both to resume working conditions, it is announced that pro- lection will be furnished by the mili- tary forces to any employe of the Old Dominion Copper company actually desirous of and reporting for employ ment at the mine or any of it's sub Sidiary branches.
 "(Signed), GEORGE P. WHITE, Lieutenant Colonel Cavalry D. O. l..

 In view of Colonel Whites an- nouncement that troops will protect those who are ready to resume their jobs it is predicted that many miners with families dependent upon them will return to work immediately.
 Colonel Whites action was brought about by the many appeals from for mer employees who informed mine of ficials that they would willingly re-

TEXAN GOVERNOR DENIES CHARGES
 HOUSE SPEAKER
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 1-GoVernor James F.. Ferguson of Texas in state ment tonight denied charges of F. O. Fuller, speaker of the house of repre- sentatives that the governor had sought to influence the speaker by offering him money at a low rate of interest, the offering being coupled with the state ment that "E'uller need not repay it unless he wishes to do so
 This was the last of the thirteen charges preferred against the governor by the speaker when the special ses- sion of the legislature convened today at noon.
 T thought I was helping a friend in time of need" declared the governor in further explanation.
 Regarding the other charges, Cover nor Ferguson said
 They have been fully paraded before the public, and an extended reply is unnecessary"
 lie already had denied the charges as contained in Fuller's recent call for special esssion of the house to con- slider impeachment.
 After the converting of the legisla- ture it was found that while the house had a quorum, the senate did not. The senate expects to meet in the
  morning with the needed membership present. The house will again consider the Fuller charges tomorrow afternoon The first business to come up will be q resolution making the house com mittee of the whole to investigate. The principal charges against the governor as read in the house, were in substance as follows: That he was found guilty of mis application of public funds at the recent , investigation and swore he would re- : pay them if so decided by the courts l That the courts so decided months age and he had failed to do so. That he had diverted the Canyon ! City Normal insurance money to his 1 own bank, thereby reducing it's interest ] of four and one half per cent and mis- appropriated $500 of the Canyon Cit, 1 Normal funds.
 That he sought to defeat provision. for the support of the University oI ! Texas sought to influence some of tn. regents and to remove others and that l the location of the West Texas A. M college was improper

STRIKE
 CALLED OFF BY
 MINERS VOTE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LEADVILLE, Colo, Aug. At 12:30 this morning the strike of min CTS was called off at a mass meeting of miners, union and non n-unon The session was a stormy one at times, owing to a question of the wage scole as it applied to some of the engineers and firemen not being thoroughly un- deTstood. Chairman Argall of the mine operators association explained the scale, and after a lengthy debate on motion of George Francis, a member of the union executive committee, the strike was declared off.
 Mine operators of the Leadville dis trict late today announced an increase of wages of fifty cents day, mak- ing the scale $4 a day. A committee of union and non union strikers agreed Monday night to accept an in crease of fifty cents a day. Their original demands were $1 q day
 A meeting of union and non- union men was called during the evening to consider the new scale presented by the mine operators. Only mem bers were admitted to the meeting it was announced, which was for the purpose of clearing up some misun- derstanding of the scale among some of the pumpmen and engineers.
 The announcement that the wage scale had been advanced was given to the public in the following notice signed by the mine operators:
 Word having been received from the governor of the state that he had not instructed his investigators Messrs. Platt Rogers and Harvey Rid dell, to come to Leadville; and it ap- bearing doubtful whether the governor would take any such action. notwith- standing his former expectation to do so, the operators have today met with the representatives of the employees with the following result:
 ''The employees state they desire to return to work; and the employers announce they will resume operations, so far as practicabl on the morning of Thursday, August ?. 1917, under the following wage schedule:
 Miners, muckers and trammers S4, hoisting engineers, double drum hOists s5. single drum hoists. s4.50. pump men $45O, pumpmen Gin wet places) i $5, shaftmen (sinking) 8. machine 1 drill runhers $4.59, timbermen $450, 1 firemen S4.
 The schedule is in some respects higher than the schedule heretofore i existing, but the operators agree to ] resume operations hereunder where i operations are resumed at all.
 The representatives of the em- ! ployes of the district announce that 1 said schedule is satisfactory to them.''
 The $4 scale is considered satisfac- tory to the miners. muckers. and l trammers but some dissatisfaction has
 been shown over the scale for engine
 CTS and pumpmen At a hastily called
 meeting at the union headquarters it was stated that there was a possi-
 bility that the men might not return l to wolE until engineers and pumpmer | were placed on a s5 and s5.50 scale.

GERARD STORY
 GREAT FEATURE

No journalistic announcement of the year has caused more interest in this state than the announcement yesterday that The Arizona Republican will carry the big, exclusive feature, Gerard in Germany'-the personal story of what went on behind the scenes in Germany up to the time United States Ambassa dor Gerard was recalled when dipIo matic relations were severed with Germany. It is appreciated that t will be real glimpse into hidden diplo matic history. real insight. into what Germany had done and it's efforts to outwit the government which had sent Mir. Gerard to it as representative of the United States.
 The Gerard story will appear simuI- taneousIy in Cyrus H. K. Curtis Public Ledger of Philadelphia and The Republican. It ranks as the most cost ly feature ever offered in the United States and it's appearance in The Re- publican is but another evidence that nothing is tco good for Arizona.

ID SCAN EXEMP
 R|GjH I $

Slackers who seek exemption and who may even secure exemption in some fraudulent fashion will have an- other brook to cross for at the request of Provost Marshal General Crowder, Governor Thomas E. Campbell iast evening named the district attorney in each county in Arizona as a special representative to take exemption ap- pcals to the district boards of appeal whenever it is believed exemption should not be granted the applicant.
 Many have wondered what would be done in case a local board should grant an unjustified exemption. Whose business would it be to appeal in such cases? The answer has come from Washington. It will be the business of the county attorneys of the state to see that the exemption privilege is not abused and on behalf of the people to make appeal when exemption has, iii their opinion been unjustifiably granted
 Here is the telegram sent last even ing to each county attorney in the state:
 Provost Marshal General Crowder wires me as follows:
 Paragraph 27 of regulations selec- tive service law directs me to author ize and direct some person to take ap- peals from decisions of local boards granting discharges. It is apparent that provisions should be made where by third persons who have information that causes them or community at large to believe that exemptions or dis charges granted by local boards are not for best interests of the nation may bring such cases to attention of a representative of the government who may appeal the case if desirable. Par agraph P also provides that l may designate some person to take appeals on behalf of the government to the district board for exemptions or dis charges by the local board. There 1 should he some such person in area of [ jurisdiction of each local board to re- f; ceive such information and take these appeals where desirable

 BUTTE, Mont, Aug Local au thorities announced tonight that they were making every effort to appre- hend those respoisbia for the lynching here early today of Frank H. Little, an Indusu ial worked of the World leader
 Police officials the sheriff and his deputies and the county attorney as serted they were puzzled and that so far they had no clue which might lead to the discovery of the identity of the men.
 The proprietress of the rooming house from which the victim was taken was so overcome by fear that she even failed, she said to notice which direction the men chose when they departed with Little. She said she probably would not be able to recognize them.
 Members of the Metal Mine Work CTS union, in which Little had taken an active part since his arrival in this city some three weeks ago, held meeting *this afternoon to discuss the situation. Although some of the more radical members it was said, advised immediate retaliatory action. conserv- atism prevailed and the leaders ad- vised the men to keep their mouths closed
 An intensely bitter feeling is prev alent among the miners, several of whom have made threats, declaring publicly that i've will get every mem her of the lynching party. and ten men for every one of us taken
 The chief of police has ordered ev- cry available detective to assist in the search for the lynchers in com plance with Mayor W. H. Maloney's request.
 Three hundred members of the state militia stationed here were reported tonight to he ready for any emergen- cy. Their numbers were swelled by arrivals today from other parts of the state.
 Members of the Metal Mine Work CTS declared today that they had iden- tified five of the lynching party and expected to discover a sixth member.
 Attorney w. G. Sullivan, represent ing the Metal Mine Workers union. said tonight that there were seven men in the lynching party, not six as had heen at first reported.
 National Guardsmen continued to arrive tonight in anticipation of dis turbances. More were reported to be
 
 on the way here The whole city is tense. awaiting developments. Fear is expressed that there may be street rioting such as accompanied the labor troubles here three years ago.
 Every effort possible will be made to apprehend the perpetrators of the outrage. declared Mayor w. H. Malo- nev tonight

 we are watching the l. w. w. closely in an effort to prevent possible disturbances"
 Strike leaders have received numer- ous warnings. Attorney Sullivan said tonight, but it was believed that noth- ing worse than deportation was being planned The idea of lynching did not occur to any of us, he said. Little had nothing to do with the local strike and why he should have been chosen cannot understand. We are in pos session of complete information re- garding the identity of the lynchers
