DOUGLAS, Sept. 3.-Hearing of evl- dence against the 200 Douglas and Bis bee men charged with kidnapping for alleged participation in the deporta- tions two years ago, again occupied the local justic court this afternoon. Rhe session was one of the dullest, from the standpoint of the spectators, of any yet held in these cases.
 Five witnesses, called by the state were questioned and cross s-examined as to their knowledge of the action of defendants during the deportations. Each named several of the defendants, whom the witnesses claimed, were armed and acting as guards in differ ent sections of the Warren district on July 12, 1917. One of the witnesses stated that he had seen Harry Wheeler, sheriff of Cochise county at the time of the I. ".

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Four thou sand officers and men of the fam ous First division of the regular army, veterans of some of the blood jest victories which ever crowned American arms, returned home to- day on the transports Amphion, Su- vance and Mobile. The little strips of various coIored ribbons that deco rated the tunics of hundreds eff the returning soldiers bore silent tes- timony to the deeds which have made the division historic.
 As far as individual decorations were concerned th palm was borne by the 18th infantry, every man of which wore the fourraaere of the Legion of Honor conferred by the French government just before the unit boarded the Mobile at Brest. But the 18th had little to boast of over their comrades, noticeabIy the second machine gun battalion, 40 per cent of whom had been decorat- ed. This battalion suffered 70 per cent casualties
 On the Mobile was Brigadier Gen eraI Frank Barker, commander of the first infantry brigade. General Barker, whose home is in Charles ton, s. c, went to Paris in 1914 as military attache and was in tenn porary command of the first division in October 1918, until relieved by Major General McGIachin.

AYERS CHARGES AGAINST SPRUCE
 DIVISION FALSE
[RepubIIcan A. P. Leased wIrel


 PORTLAND, Sept s.-Bryce P. Dis que, head of the spruce production di- vision of the war department during the war with the rank of brigadier general had no secret agreement with Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, regard ing the introduction of an eight-hour day into logging camps and lumber mills of the northwest, he testified today before the congressional sub- committee Investigating wartime air plane spruce production. It had been charged that such an agreement ex- isted.
 Mir Disque who, upon taking the stand, declared he was prepared to disproye every charge brought against his administration of the spruce pro- duction division and added that a let ter sent by the committee to Secre- tary Baker was composed largely of 'opinionated evidence and that part which is critical is largely falsehoods, ? assumed full responsibility for reduc- ing the hours of spruce workers from ten to eight hours day. He said the lumber operators were divided as to the wisdom of this course but that it was his belief the lumber industry would have besa disorganized for months if the eight hour day had not been granted.
 Responsibility for giving the soldiers of the spruce production division civil ian pay was also assumed by MT. Disque.
 When reminded by Representative James Frear, chairman of the investi- gating committee, that 40 per cent of the airplane lumber produced was fir instead of spruce, the witness replied that spruce was rot immediately avail able in sufficient quantities.
