 Warren Miners
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

DOUGLAS, July 25.-Attemps of the I. w. w to gain control of the miners of the Warren district two years ago were told of from the wit ness stand in the local court today during the preliminary hearing of Bas- sett Watkins, miner and city council man of Bisbee, charged with kidnap ping as the result or his alleged par ticipation in the deportation of HOO alleged l. W. W. and their sympathiz CTS, from Bisbee, which followed the strike in July, 1917.
 Tony Rodriguez one of the witnesses called against Watkins Dy the prosecu ton, testified that he had joined the I. W. w. during the strike called by the Industrial Workers of the World be- cause he had been assured that it was going to be the one big organization throughout the country that would better the conditions of the working man." He said that during the strike he had read much l. W. w. literature which, he said was distributed free among the strikers in the Warren dis trict.
 Several men deported from Bisbee were called by the state as witnesses during the hearing of Watkins All testified to having seen the defendant among the armed citizens who con ducted the deportation, but, as in | previous cases, none testified that he 1 had been arrested or in any way spok- en to or molested by the defendant.
 Completion of the hearing of Phil l Tovrea, son of E. A. Tovrea, a promi- nent cattleman of Arizona, was post poned this afternoon until Tuesday when only one of the states witnesses | appeared. This one, Steve Swedich, a former Bisbee bartender, said that he had seen Tovrea walking with a crowd of other men beside the deportees on the day of the roundup. He testified that he did not know whether or not Tovrea was carrying a gun. The coun- ty attorney announced that if no fur ther evidence were introduced he would ask that this case be dismissed
 The hearing of Bert Policy, con7 stable at Bisbee at the time of the deportations, was also postponed until Tuesday.

TREATMENT FRENCH
 COLORED TROOPS BY
 TANKS |S DISCUSSED

PARIS, July 25-(By the Associated Press)-The government was interpel- lated in the chamber of deputy this afternoon on the treatment that French colored soldiers are alleged to have received from the American mili- tary police in French ports. The ques- tions were asked by M Boisneuf and M. Lagrosilliere, colored deputies re- spectively from Guadeloupe and Mar unique.
 The debate that ensued ended with the unanimous adoption of the follow ing resolution:
 "The chamber, faithful to the inn mortal principles of the rights of man, condemning all prejudices of religion, caste or race, solemnly affirms the absolute equality of all men without distinction of race or color, and their right to the benefit and protection of all the laws of the country. The cham Der counts upon the government to apply these laws and see that the nec- essary penalties for their infringement are inflicted"
 Jules Pans, minister of the interior replying to the colored deputies, said that the government had applied pen alties and asked them not to insist l 0POl cb hlSN0oGlOil OL lliC Ntly ItSIStl- able incidents, as France does not for | get the services rendered by her col | ored sons"
 | The minister of the interior added | that the American government had noi hesitated to express regrets in terms that did France the greatest honor. | M. Pans asked Deputy Boisneuf fol reasons of high diplomacy" to droI the subject. The deputy said he would not speak of questions that involved diplomacy but he protested agains the complicity of the French militar, authorities in these incidents He ther read a confidential circular to Frencl I officers iattached to the American army setting forth how American op,n ion did not tolerate familiarity be tween whites and blacks
 | And it is America that wants so ciety of nations" interjected Charle Bernard, deputy from the Seine
 The circular was not signed b, Wilson" shouted Deputy Mayeras, (so cialist from the Seine) in reply.
