BISBEE, Sept. 14-Bisbee tonight is writing the final chapter in the his tory of the l. w. w movement in the Warren district.
 With the same systematic method which characterized the wholesale de- portation of approximately l,2oO al legged l. w. w. members and sylnpa- thiZers on July 12, Sheriff Harry C. Wheeler, his deputies and the citizens of Bsbee continued arrestfng the re- turning men today as fast as they ar rived in the district from the detention camp at Columbus N. M. One hun- dred have beer arrested since We'd nesday, when the exodus from the exile camp at Columbus started west ward toward the Warren district.
 Sixty-five were arrested at Douglas, Osborn, Forest Ranch and along other trails entering Bisbee today. As rap idly as they are arrested by deputy sheriffs they are brought here, formal charges of vagrancy are made against them in the police court, Judge F. E. Thomas continues their cases until they are given time to gather their personal effects and they are then told that the police court charges will not be pushed if they leave the Warren district within two days.
 Only one man, R. G. Noble, failed to fulfill this condition and he was found guilty on a technical charge of vag- rancy late today by Judge Thomas and was released on bonds. The usual penalty fixed by the police court is 9C days in jail.
 Six married men, whose families live in the district, were told today by Sheriff Wheeler that they may remain in the district as long as they behaved themselves and complied with thf laws. However. they are expected tf leave, as it is known that none of thu mining companies will give any Of them employment
 The twelve alleged slackers. who failed to report for examination for tho military draft, were held in jai after being permitted to gather their belongings and they will be taken tC Tombstone, the county seat. tomorrow to answer charges of failing to repor' for the draft.
 The one exception to the rule tha married men may remain in camp un- mOlested was made in the case of A $. Embree, alleged to be the leader the l. w. W.'s in the Columbus cam and himself an admitted L w w. ant leader of the strike here As soon a he arrived in Douglas this morning he was arrested and later brought here by Sheriff Wheeler in his automobile.
 T have a warrant for you charging you with melting a riot on or about July H." Sheriff Wheeler told Embree
 You may think you were sincere and were doing right in deporting us on July 12, but I consider you a law breaker yourself" Embree told the litt.e sheriff with flash of resent ment
 Emhree was the only inmate of the little Lowell jail. which is TO biggo than htohenette and is located di rectlv under an overhead railroad bridge of the Southwestern system
 Emhrec is a New Foundlander by birth. but claims to be an American citizen. He is an almost perfect type of the southwestern l. W. W. He i! small has grey eyes and curly hair. talks rapidly and thinks clearly, but with considerable feeling
 Enforce proudly showed his L ". " red card" and ar old one which he also had with him. He said he was stil an l. ". ". but that the l. W. W.'s are not very active in BisAee just now.
 Emtree admitted being arrested re- ceptly and tried in Deming, N M. on d Nagrancy charge. He said AttoIIeS W E. Cleary of Risbee who was de- ported on July 12. came from Los An reles to defend him and he had bee1 acquitted although he said Eugene Smith. who he said had s3,O00 in a Co lumbus bank, was sentenced to so day. in jail on the same charge at Deming.
