STOPS OUTLAWRY
Sheriff Rushes UnruIy I. w. WIS To
Ball Park, Where They Are Herd
ed Until Train Appears.

Bisbee, AriZ.-More than LOO In
dustrial Workers of the World were
deported from Bisbee in "a cattle cars.
The train arrived in Columbus, n. NJ,
according to a dispatch received here.
The military authorities at Columbus
refused to have anything to do with
the matter and turned the men loose,
1t was said. The guards who accom-
panied the train expect to return to
Bisbee in the morning and may be ac-
companied by many of those who were
deported. F. B. King, division superin-
tendent of the Ell Paso and Southwest
ern railway, who was in charge of the
deported men. was arrested by the To-
cal authorities for bringing them in.
The army officer in command at Co.
lumbus threw out strong guard about
the military establishment. The spe.
cial train carrying them left Warren,
four miles from Bisbee. The men were
driven from the city by deputy sher-
ifs and 1000 armed men, members of
an organization known as the "Citi-
zens' Protective League" Two men
were killed in the work of deportation.
One was Deputy Sheriff Orson P. Nc
Rae and the other a striker, James
Brew.

Turkish Towels.

Turkey exports more towels than
any other country, which is largely be-
cause the average Turk has no use for
n towel himself. When the first Turk
made towel he couldn't imagine what
to do with it, so he sold 1t to tourist
and in this way the Turkish towel in
dustry arose. A Turk has no patience
with a towel. As soon as he makes
one he wants to have 1t out Of his
sight. He doesn't mind Turkish rugs,
and he will even smoke a Turkish
cigarette, but Turkish towel gets him
going. The leading feature of a Turk
ish towel is that you can dry yourself
on both sides, which makes it of Spe-
cial value. Operating u Turkish towel
Is quite a knack and most people de-
vziOp their own style of play. A man
can get more vigorous exercise after
a morning bath in drying his back with
a Turkish towel than in hustling
trunks. The only objection to Turkish
towels as an exercise is that 1t doesn't
get you out in the open air.-IllinOis

Liberty Rests In Balance, President
Says-Profits and Patriotism Not

hington.-President Wilson ap-
pealed to the country's business inter
ests to put aside every selfish consid-
Grafton and to give their aid to the ma

offer their lives on the battlefields. In
a statement addressed to the coal oper-

surances that just prices would be
paid by the Government and the pub
lie during the war, but warned that
no attempt to extort unusual profits
will be tolerated.
Your patriotism the Presidents
appeal said, 'is of the same self-deny.
ing stuff as the patriotism Of the men
dead and manned on the fields Of
France, or it is no patriotism at all.

GOETHALS TO BUILD SHIPS

tion on Seas-Construction
Speeded Up.

Washington.-The controversy over
the governments shipping program
was settled by President Will
son by directing the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, of which Major General
Coethals is manager, to take charge
of construction and by authorizing the
Shipping Board to operate the vessels
after they are built and to requisition
and operate tonnage now on the seas.
The President by dividing the powers
conferred on him by Congress cleared
the way for an immediate speeding
up of construction. General Goethals
will commander at once the contracts
for most of the 100000 tons of ship
building in American yards and will
put on double and triple labor shifts
to hurry their completion.

1t Is interesting to trace the evplu-
ton of the modern collar from those
ancient ruffs that filled all the space
between chin and chest with mass
Of white ruffles In the seventeenth
century the rutfS gave place to the
wide collar of lace or plain linen that
rolled out over the coat. Under King
James II, in the seventeenth century.
the coat, which had been for hum
dred years evolving from the loose
tunlc, became well established, but it
was much longer than that worn to-
day and was buttOned down the frCDt
to the knees, and along with this coat
came into fashion the large cravat with
laced ends. The frilled shirt front
and the white cravat tied in a great
bow at the chin, followed. This gave
way, early in the last century, to the
shirt with rolling collar attached.

UNITED STATES
GRAND JURIES
IN EVERY LOCALITY WHERE THE
ACTIVITIES OF THE Z. W. w.
HAVE BEEN APPARENT,
Place United States Judge in Charge
and viii Indiet and Try All Of

Washington.-German propaganda in
the United States as represented by
The l. w. w. will be throttled immedi-
ately through plan to be put into ef-
feet. Attorney General Gregory will
be requested by Congress to assemble
at once United States grand juries in
every locality where the activities of
the l. w. w. have been apparent, place
q United States Judge in charge and
tndict and try all offenders on the
spot, without loss Of a minute. The
plan contemplates assembling grand
juries at East st. Louis; Douglas, Ari-
zOna; Columbus, N. M; Bisbee, Ari-
zona, and at points in Oregon and
Washington where there have been in
dicatiOns of unwonted activity on the
part Of the organizations agents.
These juries will sit simultaneously,
and 1t is believed in this way a death
blow will be struck at the organization
without any loss of time.
The Department of Justice is under
stood to have sufficient evidence at
present to proceed against some of the
leaders under the espionage act, but
has held back until more definite evil
dence can be obtained connecting the
financial affairs Of the organization
with German agents. Senator Law
renee Y. Sherman, OF Illinois, will make
the first move toward having the in
vestigations started. Sherman said
he had joined with other members Of
the senate in requesting the attorney
general to take steps Immediately for
assembling the grand juries. Docu-
mentary evidence in the possession Of
the Illinois Senator will be placed at
the disposal of the Government i'm
mediately. which, it is declared, will
show indisputably that the l. W. w.
agitators were responsible for the riot.
ing and bloodshed in East st. Louis.
Part of this evidence also will lead the
investigators to other sections of the
country.

STANDARD OF MINUTEMEN
Farmers Who Fought at Lexington
Had No National Emblem, but
Had Banner Of Their Own.

Under what flag did the "embattled
farmers" flght7 There was no ma
tiOnal flag then, no state or provincial
flag even. But, says Peleg d. Harri-
son, according to the Boston Globe,
there was flag, nevertheless.
The farmers of Lexington carried
the cOrnet or standard of the Three
County troop. That banner was de-
signed for a local company Of cavalry
raised in the-cOuntles of Essex, Suffolk
and Middlesex, Massachusetts, in 1863.
The office Of color bearer of this troop
was n kind of inheritance in the Page
family. The standard was carried In
King Philips war I'm 1916. When the
minutemen were organized, Nathaniel
Page III of Bedford carried the old
flag to the drills. At the midnight
alarm Captain Page snatched up the
standard and carried 1t with him to
Concord, where it waved above the
smoke of that battle"
The flag is now preserved under
glass in flreprOOf safe of the public
library at Bedford, Mass, and can be
%een by arrangement with the libra
Ian.
The ground is crimson colOred dam
ask emblazoned with an Outstretched
arm, in the hand Of which is an up
lifted sword. This representation is
the color of silver, as are three circu-
lar figures that nre probably intended
to represent cannon balls. Upon a gold
colored scroll are the words, "Vince
aut MOriture" Conquer or Die). The
flag is about two feet long by one foot
six inches wide.
