that time had been active in I. W. ".

cials say. An official warrant will ar.
rive in Butte tomorrow from Washing
ton, it was said, and. until its arrival, no
details are available regarding the
charges Kennedy will have to answer.
May Be Deported.
immigration officials were reticent re-
sarding tfe charges, but It is understood
that Kennedy win have to answer to al
legged violations of the immigration act Of
Feb. D, 1917. and of the act of Oct. 10,
1918. 1t is said that he is subject to de-
portation.
The arrest of Kennedy by immigration
authorities is said by many to be the be-
ginning of a series of arrests of aliens
who are alleged to nave been imported
for stirring up labor troubles in Butte.
Since the announcement was made in
Washington, several days ago, that the
department of labor was planning nu-
merous deportation cases, citizens Of
Butte have looked for many arrests here.
and the arrest of Kennedy today is
thought to be the beginning Of the Butte
roundup"
The possibility of deportation meas
ures being taken in Butte is said to be
responsible for rush of foreigners to
make their declarations for citizenship
papers here during the last three days.
Mines Demand Citizens.
This has been acknowledged by some
of those who have applied for papers,
but the majority have given as reason
that they have been refused employment
at the mines when they have been unable
to show their first papers.
Saturday, Monday and Tuesday the
district court clerk issued first papers
to 144 declarants. The federal court
clerk in the same period has issued pa
pers to 40 applicants. The district
court clerks supply of blanks became ex-
hansted Tuesday and virtually no papers
were issued today. but numerous applica-
tions were made.

diers brought here last week. when Sc
rious trouble threatened over the strike
situation, would be sent back to Camp
