The twenty-one articles of impeach. ment include the following:
 That Mr. Ferguson consistently re. fused to reveal the source of "ques- tlonable" loans, aggregating S156, 800, thus placing himself in contempt oI the house; that he misappropriated S5.600 of state money and converted il to his own use; that he abused the power of veto and violated the consti- tuition when he vetoed practically the entire appropriations for maintenance of the University of Texas.
 Other charges concerned alleged placing of large sums of state money without security and without interest in banks in which Ferguson was a stockholder. the alleged violation of the banking laws of the state, in that the governor removed a sum larger than the law permits; the exercise of undue and improper influence over the university regents and that the gov ernor failed to return the state treas ury several thousand dollars illegally expended for maintenance of the gov ernor's mansion and which he had previously promised to restore.
 Mir Ferguson tonight refused to dis cuss the proceedings.

MOORE CLAIMS RECEIPT
 OF THREATENING WIRES

COLUMBUS, N. M., Aug. 2i.-Fred H. Moore, an attorney of Los Angeles who is counsel for the men deported from Bisbee July 12, who are encamp- ed here, made public tonight two tele grams he said he had received refer ring to his reported intention to re turn to Bisbee to resume his investiga tion of the deportation. MT. Moore was deported from Bisbee last meDth when he went there on a similar mission.
 Both telegrams were dated at Bis. bee yesterday.
 The first one, signed Butte Little, read: "We are planning a reception for you. Do not delay coming much longer. Be sure to bring Bill Cleary with you. If any other fellows wish to come bring them along. Lots of fun and amusement for all"
 MT. Cleary, who is referred to in the telegram, is a widely known Arizona attorney who was among the 116S men deported July 12. NIT. Moore said he interpreted the signature, Butte Lit tle," as a reference to the recent lynch ing of Frank Little at Butte.
 The second telegram read, 'Wel- come to Bisbee with open arms" It was signed '7-12-17." This signature, MT. Moore said, obviously refers to the date>of the Bisbee deportation.
 Mr. Moore has not indicated when he intends to return to Bisbee.

Thirty-four Members of Thir- ty-fourth Infantry Will Be Charged With Murder. h. vestigation of Affair Is Be- ing Made
CBy Review Leased Wire.)

CBy Review Leased Wire-) wvOUSTON, Texas, August 24. TUT -BIanket charges of nur- III der were filed tonight by
 District Attorney John croeker against thirty-four negro soldiers of the Twenty-fourth In- fantry, held in the county jail as result of the rioting last night which ended with the death of sew enteen persons, four of them city officers
 This was the first move indica- tive of an attempt by the state to retain custody of the soldiers rather than turn them over to the army for punishment.
 Negroes Disarmed.
 A scene probably unique in the annals of the United States army was encamped at Camp Logan dur ing afternoon when six hundred soldiers of the battalion of the Twenty-fourth negro infantry were disarmed.
 Thanked by a full battalion of the infantry under Colonel Mil lard E. Waltz. and three ccnpan- ies of coast artilIerymen from Fort Crockett, the negro soldiers marched four abreast to the parsde-grounds, where their arms were stacked. Army trucks then loaded the rifles and ammunition and conveyed them to the camp storehouse, where they were piao- ed under heavy guard.
 Men To Be Protected.
 Surrounded by his own men with loaded rifles. Colonel Waltz then addressed the negroes. tell ing them they would be required to stay in camp and would be pro- tected from violence. and that at the same time they would be pre- vented from committing further violence.
 This order, it is said. will re- main in effect until the negroes are entrained to return to Colunn- bus, N. NJ.

CHEAP COAL FOR HOUSEHOLDER IS
 CARF|ELD'S AIM
Head of Coal Administration Announces That Every E.f- fort Will Be Made to Lower Middlemen's Profit in Fuel
tBy Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON. August 24.-Cheap CT coal for the American household CT will be one of the first aims of the new coal administration as set forth tonight by Dr. H. A. Garfield, its head A scale of prices for the dealer was suggested for an early place in the governments program for control of the coal industry. If the price-fixing plai fails the government will not hesi- tate to enforce provisions of the food bill giving it authority to requisition coal at the mines and sell it to the public generally.
 Will Enforce Prices.
 "All the machinery given me will be used to enforce the prices named by. President Wilson, said Dr. Gar field. "Our purpose will be to iase- cure all the benefits contemplated in the act and the fuel control put in force will insure a reduction to the consumer. Any person who thinks this will not mean a reduction in re- tailers' profits will find he is mistak- en.
 Each possible remedy under the bill designed to remedy present con ditions will be studied and We will be ready to put into force any of its pro visions"
 Government Determined.
 The government, it was learned to- day. will not permit coal dealings at prices higher than those named by the president on the grounds of existing contracts unless it is proved that the contracts are bona fide.
 Regulations governing coal transac- tions probably will be made public within few days. They will provide for licensing system for operators and jobbers and for an extension of the system to retail transactions if retail prices are fixed.
 Some officials still are of the opinion that it will not become necessary to fix retail prices and that the situation can be handled satisfactorily with prices set for operators and jobbers They believe the government has done enough when it fixes prices down to the communities and that communi- ties can care for the situation as it applies to them.
 This position is supported by the argument that it would be difficult to maintain a fiat scale of retail prices due to varying costs of handling in diff ferent communities.

BLANKET MURDER CHARGE FILED AGAINST NEGROES
 FOR R|OT|NC IN HOUSTON
Washington to Wait Report On
 Houston Riots
By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, August 24-Secre- tary Baker will take no action on the rioting in Houston, Texas. in which negro regular troops were concerned until the report of the board of in quiry into the incident has been re- ceived. What ever is done, he said late today. will be based upon the findings of that board.
 Discuss Training Policy.
 MT. Baker would not discuss in any any way the question of the policy of training additional colored troops in southern states. Senators and mem bers of congress from Texas and other states in the south called on him dur ing the day to discuss the subjects.
 Report Brief
 Only brief report on the Houston incident had come tonight from Major General Parker, commanding the southern department and officials pro- fessed ignorance of General Parker's order transferring the troops invol- ved. The message gave no details of the rioting and said the cause of the outbreak was unknown at the time the message was sent. The department directed that full particulars be for warded promptly. but as order had been restored when the first message was sent it was assumed General Park CT would attempt to clear up the dis order before supplementing his first report.
 Drastic Steps Expected.
 That regular troops should be in- volved in the rioting means that dras- tic measures of a disciplinary nature will be taken when the facts are known. The fact that the outbreak occurred during a war makes the sit uation far more serious than it other wise would have been.
 The department expects a very care. full investigation to be made by the board of inquiry which will bring to light the exact causes of the rioting and show what share. if any, peace officers or other civilians had in pre- clpltatlns the trouble as well as fixing the degree of responsibility of every soldier involved.
 Congress May investigate.
 It is regarded as probable that the entire/question of sending colored troops to southern states for training will be brought up in congress before the department receives it's final re port. Governor Manning of South Carolina saw Secretary Baker few days ago to submit a formal protest against sending colored units of the guard or national army is camps in that state for training and southern members of congress who were at the war department today Eeld similar views. Senator Shep- pard of Texas said he would recom- mend that no colored troops be sent into Texas other than those raised in tte state.
