Fire, said to have been Of unknown
origin, at an early hour this morn
ing completely Quilted the interior of
the Peoples theater on East Park
street and for a time, because of al
legged low pressure of water fur
nished the fire fighters by the Butte
Water company, threatened to sweep
the entire block.
The fire was discovered soon after
2 o'clock, when passersby noticed
dense clouds of smoke pouring from
the theater building. The fire de-
partment made a record run, but be-
cause of the smoke in the interior of
the burning structure, it was more
than a quarter hour before the fire
men were able to locate the source
of the blaze A number of lines of
hose were laid and despite the small
volume of water, the strenuous eff
forts of the firemen succeeded in
confining the blaze to the one build
ins.
Firemen assert that there was not
more than 40 pounds pressure on

of California in November.
Ambassador Shidehafa will de-
mand as the basis~of his negotiating
with SECRETARY Colby that the fed

California measure from being
carried into effect, according to
authoritive statements. Shidehara
has warned Colby that a wave of
anti-American sentiment will sweep
over Japan if California passes the
law.
1t was intimated at the state de-
partment plan was already tenta-
lively formulated for solution of
the California problem, but officials
will not discuss this beyond saying
they are hopeful of settlement.
An attempt by Japan to precipi-
tate a complete revision of existing
relations between the two countries
so that racial equality of the Japan
ese will be recognized, is regarded
as likely.

BRITAIN STARTS PROBE OF REPR|SALS
Federal Troops in West Virginia
Rob and III Treat Union Miners
(By PAUL HaNNA.)
Federated Press Correspondent

(Federated Press Corrcspondent)
Washington, Sept. 24,--"F Federal
troops brought into Mingo county are
getting worse in their treatment of
union miners than the Baldwin-Felts
Detective agency declares Fred
Mooney, district president Of the
United Mine Workers of America, in
a telegram from Williamson, w. Va,
to the Washington bureau of the
Federated Press.
Federal troops under Major Ash
brook are now guarding strike
breakers in Mingo county," Mooney
states, adding that last evening a
miner in the tent colony at Lick
creek was robbed by Private Ned
Levine. The soldiers have also be-
gun to arrest miners and field work
ers who dare talk TO transporta-
tions."
The phrase "+sansportations" evi
IDENTIFY refers to shipments Of scabs
brought in from other states, whom
the miners seek to inform that a
lockout is on in the region.
MONEYS telegram is the first in
timation received by the outside
world that federal troops in Mingo
county have adopted tactics calcu-
lated to provoke disturbances and to
provide a pretext for martial law,
upon which the mine owners depend
on to save them, by making all union
activities impossible.

A terse announcement by the po-
lice that they had located a powder
magazine from which a large Quan-
tity of an explosive was missing, is
regarded as further proof that per-

panicse stores had removed the eX-
plosivc and conveyed it without a
license to some construction job be-
ing rushed in the Wall street dis
trict.
The police are familiar with these
emergency removals of dynamite and
other explosives, and are accus-
toned to let the red powder wagons
go unchallenged through the fl
nancinl districts during business
hours, according to the testimony OF
business men of the neighborhood.
The fact that Il. Coleman Du
Pont, son of the president of
the Du Pont de Ncmours Pow
der company, is special police
commissioner without pay, has
been cited in connection with
tho habitllal attitude of negli-
gencc on the part OF the police
in enforcing the city ordinances
regarding the movement of ex-
plosives.
AS the stories cmanating from
Chief William J. Flynn of the de-
partment of Justice, and Attorney
General Palmer to the effect that
the explosion was caused by a bomb,
began to fade from their first lurid
colors, more sworn testimony poured
in to the effect that q red Du Pont

explode.
