NO CLUE TO GYNcHERs.
Guarding Butte to Prevent
Further Labor Trouble.

Butte, Mont, Aug. 3.-Two COM
panies of national guardsmen are pa
trolling the streets Of the. city to pre-
vent further outbreaks as result OF
the lynching OF Frank II. Little, chair
man of the executive board of the in
dustrial workers Of the world.
The police and sheriff say they are
without clues thus far as to the iden-
tity Of the lynchers. Despite the fac:
that William Sullivan. counsel for the
metal mine workers union, declared he
knows the identity Of five Of the lynch
ers. the authorities do not credit his
declaration.
Attorney General Ford and County
Attorney Jackson conferred today with
view to determining on course OF
action in respect to the lynching, but
as yet have not decided on any def
mite program.
In bulletin issued by the metal
mine workers union the statement is
made that the names Of FIVE of the
lynching party are known.
Two Of these men," it Is declared,
ARE gunner and one is connected
with law enforcement in the city"
The bulletin adds: Threats already
have been made that II we succeed in
discovering who committed this crime
we will never live to tell 1t. We want
to inform them that three copies Of
every bit Of information we have are
deposited in three different places, to
be used IN case they succeed in getting
any Of us.
1--WE know already that alibis were
prepared in advance for every one Of
the murderers, yet we have evidence
that will break every alibi completely,
and when we finish some very prom
inent murderers will be headed for the
saiiows or Deer Lodge penitentiary.
County Attorney Jackson stated that
Sullivan, the mine workers attorney.
had admitted to him that he did not
have the names Of five of the party
that lynched Little. He added that
Sullivan said that he hoped within
forty Eight hours to have evidence to
place before him
The men mentioned in the official
bulletin Of the metal mine workers as
"gunmen" called on Jackson today.
They are guards employed at the mines
and protested their innocence to the
county attorney.

Bethmann- Hoilweg. Admiral Won Tir-
pitt. General Won Falkenhayn, DR.. Will
liam Won Stumm, under secretary OF
foreign affairs; Archduke Frederick of
Austria, Austrian foreign minister;
Count Won Berchtold, Austrian foreign
minister; Count ;Tisza. premier OF Hum
gary. and General Conrad Won Hoet-
zendorf. 1t appears that van Jagow
and Count Moltke were not present.
THE meeting discussed and decided
on all the principal points in the Aus
trian ultimatum which was to be dis
patched to Serbia. Eighteen days later
it was recognized that Russia would
probably refuse to submit to such q
direct humila ton, and that war would
result. That consequence the meeting
definitely decided to accept. It Is prob
able, but not certain, that the date Of
mobilization was fixed at the same
time.
1.-The kaiser. as is well known, then
left for Norway. with the object Of
throwing dust in the eyes of the French
and Russian governments. Three weeks
later, when 1t became known that Eng
land would not remain neutral, Beth
mann Hollweg wished to withdraw, but
it was too late. The decision OF July
was irrevocable.
THE peucliar way, or rather ways
in which the facts have become known
cannot as yet be told, but 1t Is certain
that most of Haase's hearers were fully
aware of the meaning OF his reference
to July S, for the subject appears to
have been discussed more fully at q
session of the budget committee OF the
reichstag eight weeks ago, when So
cialist deputy, Herr Cohn, challenged
a certain minister to deny the facts. TO
the establishment of other deputies the
minister did not deny the facts, but
declined to make any statement. The
incident created an immense sensation
in the reichstag."
Still Posing az Victims.
The Times, in an editorial comment
ing on the foregoing, says:
ut would be hard to exaggerate the
gravity of the disclosure that the enemy
for three years has ben posing as the
innocent and guiltless victim Of enemy
perfidy and craft.
Chancellor Michaelis still appeals to
events Of July, 1914. to prove the right
eousness Of their cause and to white
wash his predecessor, but II the meet
ing July was what we are told 1t was,
the chief military and civilian author
tiles Of the central powers gathered to-
gether in a time Of profound tranquility
to conspire under the presidency Of the
kaiser against the peace Of Europe.
Claimed Ignorance Of Note.
What becomes of the pretense that
Germany was ignortant Of the Austrian
note to Serbia, and what Of her often
repeated contention that to the last she
did her utmost to avert war. She has
fastened blame now upon Russia and
now upon England"
Here she appears as the center and
director Of a cold -blooded and delib-
crate plot IN which Sc and her ac-
consider weeks beforehand
how they shall make 1t impossible for
Serbia to accept their demands and i'm
possible to tolerate Them
