PREDICTS QUICK COLLAPSE

Washington, d c., Sept. %
Early and complete collapse of the
steel strike is expected here. and
conservative labor leaders have
admitted privately for days that it
was mistake. The Steel Corpora
tion was anxious for a test, convn-
ced that the wave of labor agita-
ton has now reached its crest. and
defeat in the steel industry, fol-
lowing the rout of the radicals at
Boston. would finish them up for a
while.
The information here is that few
of the American operatives of the
Steel Corporation wanted to strike
and only limited number have par
ticipated. Scventy-fve thousand of
this class of workers own stock.
The radicals are counting heavily on
an intensive campaign of Bolshevik
agitation among the unskilled for
eign elements who, it is said, have
struck. not for a camOuflage set of
demands formulated by the outside
organizing committee, but because
they have been told that this strike
is the beginning of a revolution
which is to set up an industrial
Democracy"

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
TO the Late Eugene B. Taylor.

TO the Late Eugene Is. laylor.
The, Bar Association of the city
at recent meeting adopted the fol
lowing resolution of respect to the
memory of Eugene B. Taylor
The death of !. Eugene B. Taylor
left void in, the lives of many in
our city, for he had a host of friends
to whom his genial sparkling pres
ence was ever a..source of pleasure.
Every one! loved to converse with
"Gene" as his intimate friends cal
led him.: He loved joke and
laughed as heartily at one on HIM
self, as on another. He had been
many times to Europe and had
much to tell. and told it well. He
was great reader of newspapers
and kept we'll posted on current
topics. His endless fand of infor-
nation and his sunny disposition
made him a welcome everywhere.
No one could have more charming
travelling companion. He knew
many cities and with him one need
ed no guide in London, Paris or
Rome.
We may not call him great law
yer, but he was good lawyer; pa
tient, thorough and exact.
1t has often been said that "cvery
man has his price" Eugene had no
price. With him it was only what
is right. He knew nothing else.
That settled in his own mind, there
was no budging, shifting or side
stepping. All the wealth of the
world could not have made him do
what he thought was not right and
fair. mo short cut would do for
him. He always followed the
straight path to the right thing. In
this his example was wholesome to
the fellow members of his profes-
sion.
He had for years been afflicted
with fatal disease. He suffered
much, but bore it with Christian
spirit. He was devoted son, de
voted brother. a faithful friend
with whom his memory will eve
remain fresh and fragrant, am
they will ever mourn his departure
He lived his life without fea
and without reproach,' and of hin
it may be we'll said, "Well don
thou good and faithful servant, en-
ter thou into thy reward .

DOUGLAS, Ariz.. Sept. s-The pre- Lminary hearing of 200 Douglas and Eisbee men charged with Kidnapping for alleged participation in the de- portations that followed the l. W. W strike in the Warren copper mining district two years ago started this afternoon on it's third, and probably final week
 Richard Denning, witness for the state, today testified to having seen more than 50 of the defendants, the majority of them armed, acting as guards during the deportation of the HOO men by the citizen deputies un- der Sheriff Harry c. Wheeler on July 12, 1917.
 John R. Conner, of Ray, Arizona, who was one Of the men deported, testi- fled during cross examination that he joined the I. W. W. upon the solicita- ticns of James Chapman who was at that time, he said, secretary of the Eisbee local O. the Western Federation of Miners.
 Four of the five witnesses called by the state admitted, during cross examination, to have joined the l. w. W. during the strike in the Warren district. Two of these witnesses said they did rot know at the time what the I. " W.'s were but had aided it io the strike because they hoped the walkout would bring higher wages. Both said they did not know how much money they were receiving at the time tf the strike, although they remem- bered that their wages then were higher than ever before in their lives. They also admitted that they did not know how much they were striking for.
 Joe Einkella, Slovenian, of Silver Belt, Arizona, another of the men who was depo-ted. testified against three men when called to the stand. by the county attorney. After his testimony was completed the court called the attention of the county attorney to the fact that none of the men named by the witness were defendants in the case. The county attorney declared that he had made a mistake and ex- clsed the witness, amid a roar of laughter from the defendants.
 Further testimony against the de- fendants win be offered by the state tomorrow afternoon. The joint hear ing is expected to be completed by the conclusion of the session of court Thursday afternoon.

Congressional Investigating Committee Uncovers Pro- paganda Movement in This Country by Carran- za's Friends
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.--Existence of an organized propaganda movement in the United States, calculated to counteract any step toward armed in- tervention in Mexico was established at the first hearing today of the sem ate foreign relations subcommittee charged with investigating the Mexi- can situation.
 Dr. Samuel Guy Inman, an officer in the League of Free Nations associa- ton and a former neighbor in Mexico of President Carranza, admitted un- der sharp cross examination that his association had sent dut literature aimed to quiet any demand for inter- yention by the United States in the southern republic. Dr. Inman told the committee that American oil eompan- ies were expending large sums of money in an attempt to obtain inter- vention, but under ross-examination said he recently had been told that the oil interests were opposed to inter- vention.
 Believes in Mexico
 Dr. Inman told the committee that in his opinion President Carranza was a man of honor and integrity and that he had a strong faith in the ability or Mexico to work out it's own problems if given friendly assistance by the United States. He deprecated inter- yention, adding that it would stunt the growth of the carefully cultivated American idea
 Bishop James Cannon, of the Meth odist Episcopal church, south, fol- lowed Inman with the assertion that the only intervention advisable in Mexico was that of the church and school.
 During the cross examination which followed his testimony, Inman was subjected to sharp questioning by Sen- ator Fall. New Mexico, chairman of the subcommittee and Senator Bran degee, Connecticut. He many times admitted that he was unable to give the committee details of charges which he had made, and at his request will be permitted to appear again
 Inman was questioned concerning several articles put out by his asso- citation, many of which he said were written by L. J. Debekker. One of the articles called to his attention was en- titled "The Truth About Mexico and referred to the Investigating sub-com- mittee as headed by that notorious enemy of Carranza, Senator Fall.s The witness was unable to give the name of the article.

IRepublican A. P. Leased Wire1
 MORALES, Sept. 8-Mifitary and civil authorities today revealed that Mrs. John McPherson, one mile north of NogaIes, was taken from her home Saturday night by negro soldier, carried into the hills and assaulted. It is thought the guilty negro is one of the six hun dred recruits that recently joined the 18th infantry.
 The woman wandered home an hour after being carried away, in such condition 1t is feared she may go insane. Her three small chii- dren gave the alarm to neighbors, who notified the police and the military, and the guard was turned out in an effort to locate her as- sailant. The guard is still in the hills seeking him. McPherson, the husoand, is watchman in the government laundry.
 Physicians who examined Mrs. McPherson state that her body is badly bruised from the waist down, but her injuries are not serious. She put up a terrific battle, her clothes being practically torn from her body.
 She states that she can identify her assalant, and she will be taken before the regiment when her nerves are quieted. Meantime the search continues, and a thor oush check is being made of the regiment.
