CHARGES
 AGAINST GOV. FERGUSON
Financial Status of Chief Executive of
 Texas Brought Out.

Austin, Tex, Aug. 6.-Deposits of state funds in the Temple State bank, of which Governor James E. Ferguson he is a large stockholder, today occu- pied the attention of the house of rep resentauves, sitting as committee of the whole to investigate charges look ing to the impeachment of the chief executive. Henry Blum, assistant cashier, told how the governor, the commissioner deposited large sums in the Temple institution, at one time several hundred thousand dollars of state funds being on deposit there.
 Blum proved a reticent witness. When asked about the payment on Aug. 23, 1916, of $5,60G from the ac- count of MT Ferguson, as governor, he could remem Der nothing of 1t except that an error had been discovered in by indictment with embedding S5,600 on Aug. 23, 1916.
 W. 4. Hanger, counsel for MT. Fer gueon, asked Blum if the governor in addition to the governors account did not also have a special account and a private account. Blum replied affirm atively.
 I'll ask you" said Hanger, after suggesting that probably the sum had been charged to the governors fund.- by error, JO say what amount the governor had on deposit in his special account on Aug. g, 1916"
 Forty dollars and thiTty-tvo cents, ,'' replied Blum without hesitation

Severe losses were inflicted on the Germans when they attempted to raid north of Arleux, southwest of Lens, and west of Vimy.

 All Leaders Now Hiding in the Hills.

Okltahoma City, Okla, Aug. G. Without waiting for a conclusion of the states campaign against organized resistance to the selective draft in central Oklahoma, the United States government today moved to punish the POO men under arrest in connection with armed opposition to military ser vice. Warrants charging treason were served the prisoners who were taken to the penitentiary at McAlester or the jail at Muskogee, to await trial, at which United States District Attor- ney w. P.

 Extreme Punishment to Be Asked.

Posses in three counties-Sem- inoleJ Hughes and Pottawatomie-re- ported tonight sthat isolated groups refused to surrender, but that they apparently were discouraged and seek ing to avoid an encounter Except for the fact that several agitators re- garded as leaders in the disturbance and dangerous to remain at large, are among those maintaining a show of resistance, the authorities would be inclined to let the bands break up, con- fident that the less important members could be arrested later.
 To Run Down All Leaders.
 Determlna ton of the posse men to run down all the leaders was strength ened today by coniscatio of half freight car of dynamite which had been run on a siding southeast of Sasakwa, in Seminole county. An in- vestigation is being made to esta ablish ownership. The car was unaccompa- nied.

SOLDIERS MAY VOTE
 REGARDLESS OF LOCATION
If Their Respective States Establish
 Voting Machinery at Camps

Washington, Aug. 16.-American citizen soldiers, whether located in cantonments of the national army. mobilization centers of the national guard or even in France with the cX- peditionary forces, may vote at the fall elections if their respective states establish voting machinery at the camps.
 Provost Mar5ha1- General Crowder said tonight that there was no bar to the voting of guardsmen or drafted soldiers so far as the federal govern nent was concerned and that the only obstacle would he the absence of state legislation on the subject.
 Many states have laws in some cases dating back to the Civil War, permit ting citizens under arms to vote when away from the home precinct. Last fall while the national guard was mob ilized on the Mexican border other states enacted legislation permitting the troops to cast ballots in ntaional state and municipal elections. Sub stantially, the same process will be followed this fall, ballots of soldiers from states making the necessary ar engagement being mailed from the camp or cantonment.
 Ever state is the judge of the vot- ing qualifications of it's electors, but in the absence of presidential or con- gressiona1 campaign it is doubtful if many states will care to undertake polling any of their men who may be in France this year.

Washington Aug. 6. President Wilson had long conference today with Senator Lewis, the democra tic whip, urging haste in the final enact ment of the food control bill and reve- nue bills, and is understood to have indicated he does not consider the present the time for discussion of peace negotiations with Germany
 Senator Lewis would not discuss the latter phase of the case, but it was believed the president indicated that he did not consider Germany's recent peace feelers to be genuine and that he can be expected to let the country know when he believes the time has come for discussing peace. Senator Lewis declared the president would not allow the American people to lose any rights or suffer any wrongs which his diligence could prevent"
 The Illinois senator told the presi- dent he believed congress could ad. journ Sept. 1st.

 On that subject I do not quote the president but do say for myself that when the true signs of peace based on the principles for which America went into this war. shall appear, the presi- dent will be the first to treat with them: but when they shall come dis guised as peace-only to serve the fur ther cruelties of war-and the be- trayal of America, Woodrow Wilson will be the last to be caught
