EXEMPTIONS
 UNDER DRAFT
 LAW ARE FEN
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 27- Although no official announcement has yet been made regarding the attitude that the government will take in the matter of considering exemptions from the draft law, it was sem-of1icially stated tonight that it is expected that the administra- tion will show rigid adherence to it's policy as first outlined, not to cause the exemption of any specific class of candidates for military honors in the new army of conscription. The regulations, it is stated, will be an nounced within the next few days, and it is thought certain that they will not contain provisions for any of hand" exemptions. That is, eV- cry case will be judged on it's own merits by the proper authorities, and not through a class regulation. and all who claim exemption from the provisions of the law will be per sonally examined as to the truth of their statements.
 It is a well known fact that there are several classes that will be eX- empted, but they will not be allowed to claim class exemption. Men with wives and families dependent on them will be among the first ex- empted, and it is altogether prob able that physically unfit men will be relieved from the provisions of the draft law.

INVESTIGATION
 IS PROCEEDING

kASSOCldleu lItSS)
 NEW YORK, June 27,-The big police investigation of the white slave traffic which is alleged to have been engaged in in police circles here within the past year is now proceeding. It has started with probe of the manner of the death of Ruth Cruger, the young school girl whose body was found in a eel lar a short time ago and who is al. legged to have been murdered by Alfred Cocchi, an Italian, who was formerly a patrolman in the motor cycle squad in this city.
 The Cruger girl disappeared from her home in February, and her body was not found for approximately three months. The investigation is therefore being conducted along the lines of the failure of the police to find the body. The probe has so far resulted in the disclosure that the fact that the girl had disappeared from her home was not entered on the police records of the city until nine hours after the complaint Of her disappearance was registered, consequently but few policemen knew that she had disappeared, and time was given her murderer in which to hide the remains.

MIDNIGHT SUN TOURISTS HAVE.
 GREAT TIMES
Special to The Citizen)

DAWSON, Y r, June 27.-That they had experiences on the Yukon river that they will not soon forget, in addition to seeing the midnight sun at Fort Yukon, as had been promised them at the Seattle office of the White Pass X Yukon Route when they purchased tickets for the tour, are the statements of a nun Der of the Midnight Sun tourists just returned here from Fort Yukon on the steamer Casca, arriving in port last night. They saw numerous points of interest all along the route. but the most interesting event they saw was the manner in which spies are handled by Alaskan authorities.
 It developed after the Casca left here. when a secret service man from the Outside arrived on one of the next boats from the upper river. that one of the women passengers on the Casca was a German spy. A wire was sent from here to Eagle by the secret service man. and the woman, who is said to have joined the party at Juneau and was bound for St. Michael, was taken off the Casca by the immigration authorities at Eagle.
 Nor was that the only incident of q like nature seen by the tourists. For when the boat reached Circle City it was discovered that an Aus trian who had been interned at Daw- son was a stowaway in the hold of the boat. He was immediately placed in irons by the captain of the Casca and returned here.

BUTTE MINES
 ARE ABOUT TO
 QUIT BUSINESS
ocgated Press)


 BUTTE. Montana, June 27. It i, generally conceded on all sides to nigh, that this district k facing a situation more serious than ever be fore in ifs history. For. as a result ol line strike oI the machinsts, bIachsmth- and bouermakers, all of the big mines of the district some of them among the largest in the world are now nearer 10 being shut down than they have been during the past three years. That the sit nation is nothjne short of alarming is conceded on all sides, but there is no sign Of a breaking of the pre- yailtng strike, as the strikers have refused all oyerrures made to them in the matter of arbitration,
 And the situation will be made more serious if the threatened en- aincers' strike natures For a strike on the part of the engineers em- ployed in the mines would have the effect of causing all the pumps to b. shut off, thereby completely flood ing the miles of underground tun- nels and working to such an extent that it would be- next to impossible at least. il would be a very costly process to pump them out again. The flooding of the mines would also have th7 effect of causing the workings to settle, thus making them unsafe
 The engineers are voting tonight on the proposition that they go on a strike in sympathy with the strik ing electricians Just how the mat ter will end remains 10 be seen. The mine officials now here say that they would rather shut down the mines allowing them to flood, than to give in to the demands of the men. They are, however, willing to arbrrate all grievances.
