SECRETARY LANE DEFENDS BOARD OF
 BUSINESS ADVISERS
Members Sell Nothing and Have No Power to Buy. Explains System of
 Defense Council

Washington, July 12.-The relation of business men to the government was de- scribed today by Franklin Lane, Secre- tary of the Interior, and one of the caoi- net members who compose the council of defense Answering talk in Congress and elsewhere suggesting that members of the council are in position to make contracts with themselves and thus derive a per sonal profit from the war, MT. Lane said the business men composing the advisory committee have no control over contracts and in fact, give to the government in- fnitely more than they receive. Analyz- ing the organization further, MT. Lane gave high praise to the business men, ex- perts in their several fields of industry, who comprise the many committees on supplies, including raw materials of all kinds and manufacture.
 The statement was given to the Asso- ciated Press as the result of inquiries con- cerning recent criticism of the commits sion and a persistent report that reor- ganization of the council is imminent. The response was characteristically frank from the opening question, which bore on the possibility of cabinet members con- stituting the council making any personal profit out of contracts

MARCHED TO DEPOT

After an hour s wait captors and cap tives marched to the depot. where an other squad on duty had taken charge
 of several hundred more men. At S:3O
 O clock the prisoners were lined up two
 abreast Thanked by 20OO heavily armed citizens the captives were ordered to march down the railroad tracks toward Warren. At Lowell, suburb, about 300 more alleged I. w. w. were merged into the procession.
 The baseball park at Warren was chosen for the place of assembling the
 men to be deported. Word of the clean up'' had preceded the sheriff and his men. and when the prisoners reached the park
 the hundreds of spectators on the scene set up jeers.
 When the prisoners were inside the en- closure half the armed bands formed
 guard around the park while the other half started a systematic search of the entire district for the men who were identified with the industrial workers or who could not account for their presence in satisfactory manner.
 Armed men went through rooming houses and restaurants questioning every one Those who did not answer satisfac-
 torily were marched between long lines
 of citizens to the park. For two hours
 leaders of the Industrial Workers of the
 World attempted to make themselves
 heard above the hoots and jeers of the crowd When 1t seemed as if the park
 would hold no more, six aditional squads
 of prisoners were packed in and the
 guards were increased
 CATTLE CAR SPECIAL Shortly before noon a special train of cattle cars rolled up to the park. The prisoners were marched in single file from the enclosure up to the runways and on to the cars. As each man entered the car, according to the authorities, he was asked if he wanted to go to work or If he could give the name of reliable citi- zen who would vouch for him. Those who expressed a desire for employment were held for further investigation. Several prominent citizens of Bisbee and Lowell who openly declared they were in sym pathy with the Industrial Workers of the World movement. were forced into the cars with the unkempt crowds. Among these was William R. Cleary, an attor- iney widely known throughout Arizona who was taken into custody when the raid first started. Cleary was alleged to have spoken openly in favor of the In- Idustrial Workers movement.
 All afternoon the citizens continued
 questioning everyone on the streets. To-

proved efficacious against the intense cold of the winter.
 The familiar puttee will depart in favor of cloth legsings such as were used by the expeditionary force in Mexico. Each soldier will have fold- ing cloth fatigue cap to wear under the irksome steel helrnet.
 IMMENSE TASK
 Some idea may be gained of the i'm mensity of the task of supplying tho American armies when they reach full strength by the fact that ca h mil lion men must have a 1000-ton refrig- eration plant, the steel and iron for which must be brought from America. The refrigerators must be located not only at the base but close behind the fighting line. Storage tanks with a ca pacity of a million gallons will be needed at the bases with depots for transferring gasoline to obviate the necessity of using trains.
 SALVAGE DEPOT
 Plans already far advanced include the construction of so-called salvage depots for the repair of wornout clothing and shoes. A pair of shoes lasts a soldier In the trenches only three weeks on the average. The mag nitude of such depots is shown by those used by the French, which eln- ploy 1000 men each. Each million men probably will consume 100000 pounds of meat daily.
 American army headquarters in Paris is rapidly proving itself too small for the volume of work in prog ress. A large number of men of the quartermasters department moved to- day to a hotel formerly largely pat ronized by American and English visi- tors and the chief of the department is installed in what was formerly the bridal suite.

SOME MADE JOKES

Guards from here said they recognized William B. Cleary, prominent attor- ney, whose arrest had peen reported in Bisbee, earlier in one of the cars. Guards said most of the men were for eigners. Most of them took their pre- dicament calmly and some even joked about it. A few made threats and cursed the state.
 Guards were on top of the train to accompany it only as far as the New Mexico line, they told Douglas citizens on duty at Lee.
 The population of Douglas in part par ticipated in the deportations of alleged Industrial Workers of World rom Bls- bee. Early today a call was received for citizen volunteers from Sheriff Wheeler. An alarm was blown and about 400 heavily armed men responded. These were deputized and sent to Bisbee in au- tomobiles Seven machine guns were taken from here.

TRAIN PASSES DOUGLAS

Douglas, Ariz., July 10.-With armed guards atop every car, train of 24 stock cars passed through here today, carrying nearly 1200 men cnd three women deported from Bisbee. The train did not stop here, but continued to Lee station, 10 miles east where train crews were changed and water barrels placed in the cars It is customary for train crews to change at Douglas.
 While the stop was made at the Lee station the train was guarded by about 200 armed citizens from Douglas while two machine guns on a knoll dominated the situation. The guards were sworn in as special deputy sheriffs From Lee station the train was sent on eastward with Columbus, N. M, as it's reported destina tion.

IMPORTANT BOARD

But it is very important board nevertheless; it is supposed to know just what the government needs for the carrying on of the war and just where that can be had. Regard it's makeup and you will see that, The Secretaries of War and Navy know what the army and navy need. The Secretary of the Interior, who has the governmental survey and the bureau of mines under him, is supposed to know what minerals this country produces and how they can be had. The Secretary of Agriculture knows what the food supply is and how 1t may be stimulated. The Secre- tary of Commerce knows what we can get abroad and what we manufacture here, and the Secretary of Labor Is in touch with the great primary force es- sential to all production.
 But when Congress provided for this council, it created supplemental body, which is some etfmes confused with the council itself which is called the advisory commission and these are real business men. They are ret commended to the President by the council and appointed by him. These gentlemen donate their services and We're chosen because they were special ists, successful specialists. I doubt il any country in Europe could produce a finer body

NOTHING TO SELL

We have nothing to sell" he said When it is considered that the council of national defense consists of Secretary Baker a lawyer; Secretary Daniels, an editor Secretary Lane, a lawyer; Secre- tary Houston, college president; Secre- tary Redfeld, a retired business man, and Secretary Wilson, labor union of- hcial. you will realize that there Is not much chance for that charge being true,
 No, nobody thinks that we are deal ing with ourselves. The confusion has come about because of the peculiar or ganization of the council. Get into your head one or two facts and you will see how this confusion has arisen. The council of national defense buys noth- ing. That body was created by Con gress as a measure of preparedness to mobilize resources-a sort of stock taking body. If we came to war what did we have in the way of resources to make war with? That was the idea. It is not a war council in the English sense, which can direct policies. The President is our war council. It is not purchasing board, because there is not man on it who can buy anything excepting the Secretaries of War and Navy, and the council cannot direct them what to buy.
