KAISER TO KEEP
HOLLWEGATPOST
Dual Monarchy Believes
Chancellor's Dismissal as
Fatal Mistake
By Associated Press
Copenhagen, July 13.—The Berlin
Lokal Anzeiger says a communica
tion from the Austro-Hunsarian gov. '■
ernment has been received in Ber- j
lln declarint that Dr. Von Beth- |
mann-Hollweg's continuance in of
fice as chancellor is of Importance
and his retirement possibly a fatal r
mistake. The telegram was obvious-1
ly dispatched before the decision on !
the Prussian franchise was taken,
which is generally interpreted in
Berlin as a sign that Dr. Von Beth
mann-Hollweg would remain. The
Lokal Anzeiger attributes the tele
gram to Count Czernin, the Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister.
The executive committee of the
Catholic Centre of the Reichstag on
the other hand, believes Vr. Von
Bothniann-Hollwcg conducted peace
negotiations and says he should be
placed before an ultimate peace con
ference. The attitude of this great
party, which is of quite as much im
portance as the views of Count
Czernin on the same subject and
■which has been repeatedly denied,
is somewhat cleared by the an
nouncement of the party organ
Germania.
Draw Distinction
While denying the report that the
party has demanded the chancellor's
retirement, for which "at present"
there is no ground or that it had
an interest in unseating him, Ger
mania says the party considers the
chancellor scar.-ely fitted to parti
cipate in the peace negotiations,
particularly considering tho fact
that the declaration of war occurred
under his administration but that
it is erroneous to consider his fur
ther continuance in office a hind
rance to bringing on peace.
The distinction drawn indicates
that the centrist leaders believe the
chancellor may remain for the pres
ent but should resign before the ac
tual peace conference.

Gains far exceeded declines at the;

trading embracing a wide variety of i

while Industrial Alcohol led the high

Advances were maintained during;

When the train arrived at Coluir- j
| bus, the detraining point originally
selected by the guards, it was met
I by the deputy city marshal and a I
! number of special policemen, who re- j
j fused to permit either the guards or
the deported men to leave the train. j
Superintendent King, of the El Paso
and Southwestern Railroad, who ac- I
companled the train, was arrested on I
a charge of carrying passengers in 1
interstate commerce without collect
ing fares, but was released when an ,
asreement was reached that the train !
would be taken back as far as Her

Two Murdered

I day was not accomplished without
' bloodshed, Oscar P. Mcßae, a member
! of the citizen possee which roundec ,
1 up the men, having been shot and
killed by James Brew, a striker, who ,
fired through the door of his room I
when a search of the building was
being made. Brew was later killed ;
! by Mcßae's companions.
No other clashes between the posse
and I. W. W. members were reported.
The round-up of the men was com
plete. every one who was known as
a sympathizer of the strikers being
taken unless he gave a satisfactory
explanation of his activleies. The
I posse even took William B. Cleary,
an attorney, and loaded him onto the
; freight train with the less conspicu-
I' ous prisoners.
What action Governor Thomas E. |
Campbell intended to take with re
i gard to the deportations was un- '
known, although he telegraphed to
President Wilson last night that Fed- I
eral troops were needed in all the |
strike zones to prevent further at- '
tempts to drive the striking members !
of the I. W. W. out of the state. The
governer previously had notified the
sheriff at Kingman, where a number
of I. W. W.'s had been held, that they
! were not to be molested as long as
i they were peaceful.
I)lpatchrn Censored
News dispatches concerning the de- i
pcrtations were held up in Douglas
and Bisbee from 6 o'clock yesterday
morning until 4 o'clock in the after- i
noon. Manager Tillotson, in charge i
of the local office of the W T estern j
Union, at first said the censorship haa i
been ordered by an army officer, but
subsequently it developed that Rob- j
ert Rae. general auditor of the
Phelps Dodge Corporation, controlling
the Copper Queen Smelter at Bisbee.
and E. H. Stout, superintendent o.
the Copper Queen Smelter here, were
directing the censorship. Manager .
Tillotson said Mr. Stout, who is
I known as an army officer, was
dressed like an army officer and ne !
believed he was receiving orders from !
a representative of the Government, i
Mr. Stout to-day stated that he j
had received instructions from the [
sheriff's office at Bisbee to censor out- '
going news dispatches. He said he J
did not know from whom the mes- j
sage came except "the sheriff's of
fice." He said the Phelps Dodge Cor- j
poration did not originate the idea !
of a censorship.
Mr. Stout reported to-day that the
citizen guards who accompanied the;
L. W. W.s across the state line were
on their way back to Douglas and
expressed the belief that the deported
miners would never return to Ari

Censorship Illegally
Imposed Upon A. R. by
Corporation Officers
By Associated Press
Douglas, Ariz., July 13.—The cen- |
sorship imposed on Associated Press 1
j dispatches filed here and In Bisbee j
yesterday, during the deportation of
nearly 1,200 members of the Indus- i
trial Workers of the World front Bis- j
bee, was directed by two officers of
the Phelps-Dodge Corporation—j
Robert Rea, general auditor of the,
! corporation, and H. H. Stout, super- I
intendent of the Copper Queen j
' smelter here.
These men, and not an army offi
; cer, as reported to the outside world
by the Western Union office here at
the time, were the ones who issued
the censorship orders to the tele
graph company.
The report that the military had
established the censorship was due.
according to Manager Tillotson, of
the local Western Union office, to the
fact that Mr. Stout generally is,
known as "Captain," and that his!
dress is similar to that of an army |
man. Mr. Tillotson told the Asso-
I elated Press after the censorship had
been removed and an investigation
made, that he thought Mr. Stout was !
a captain in the Regular Army and
that he was bound to obey his or- j
t ders regarding the transmission of;
, dispatches relating to the disturb- i
ance at Bisbee.
The report that the military had i
imposed censorship persisted I
throughout the district until late laat;
night, when inquiries at army head-!
quarters brought the information!
that no military censorship had been ;
, In effect.
Early to-day Mr. Stout admitted
that he had directed the censorship
but said he had acted on instructions
from the sheriff's office at Bisbee.
; Pressed as to who in the sheriff's
j office had authority to censor tele
i grams Mr. Stout was unable to des
ignate from what person he had re
ceived his instructions but persist
ed that they came from Bisbee. Sher
iff Harry C. Wheeler went to Co
! lumbus with the cattletrain on which
the men were deported, and had not
returned to Douglas early to-day.
The first dispatch concerning the
deportations was filed by a corre
| spondent of the Associated Press In
j the Western Union at 6 o'clock yes
terday morning. It was forwarded
at once to El Paso to be relayed to
! the Associated Press offices at Den
\ ver, but before the relay was. made
Mr. Rea, representing the Phelps
j Dodge Corporation, which controls
; the mines affected by the strike at
Bisbee, instructed the operator on
: duty that the message was witli
j drawn. Upon this authority, accord
ing to information given the Asso
ciated Press by the Western Union
office, the message was recalled by
the operator. *
Soon after this first application of
j the Phelps-Dodge censorship Mr.
Stout informed Manager Tillotson, of
i the teleftraph company, concerning
the nature of the censorship that
was to be Imposed, and Mr. Tillotson
obeyed, holding up all messages re
lating to the Bisbee deportations un
, til 4 o'clock In the afternoon.
Mr. Stout and Mr. Rea both dls
f cussed the censorship while it was in
effect, saying they desired no Infor
mation to reach the outside world
until the deportations had been com
: pleted satisfactorily to them. .

Although Mr. Stout said his or
ders for the censorship came from
the sheriff's office at Bisbee, corre
spondents in the latter place were
under the impression that Sir. Stout
was directing the censorship of both
towns from Douglas. One corre
spondent whose dispatches were held
up in Bisbee reached Mr. Stout over
the telephone to obtain a release of
his messages, but was Informed that
the censorship would be raised when
the train carrying the deported men
had passed through Douglas, and
not before. Every effort to learn by
what authority the Phelps-Dodge of
ficials imposed the censorship was
without avail until to-day, when Mr
Stout referred inquirers to the sher

ous states to allow the state quota
as given among the exemption board
districts, so that each board in each
district will know exactly the num
ber of men to be furnished by the
district in filling the state quota.
Contrary to expectations the gov
ernment has allowed credit for the
total strength of the National Guard
including all those men who were in
the .service prior to April 1 and who j
have been retained. The figures are j
given as follows:
Total strength of the National:
Guard on April 1, 1917, 164.292.
Enlisted in the National Guard be-i
tween April 1 and June 30, 183,719.1
Enlisted in the Regular Army be- i
tween April 1 and June 30, 117,974.
Total credits allowed for, 465,985.
This means that, according to the
estimates of the government officials,
the United States now has enrolled
or under arms approximately 467,-
000 men classed as war volunteers
and therefore constitute credits to
he allowed to the states from which
they enlisted.
Preparations for the final act in
the organization of the national
army went forward rapidly to-day,
indicating that despite delays it
might be possible to hold early next
week the drawings which are to es
tablish the order 'n which of
the nearly ten million registrants is
to appear before ' his exemption
board.
Probably 4,000 of the 4,559 local
exemption boards have now com
pleted their organization, given se
rial numbers to the cards within
their districts The office of Provost
Marshal General Crowder had re
ceived 3,300 lists of names up to
early to-day and undoubtedly hun
dreds more are in the mail.
It was stated authoritatively that
as soon as the last board had report
ed to the adjutant general of the
State the Federal government could
begin the drawing. The fact that all
numerical lists are either in Wash
ington or in the mail will be suffi
cient. It will not be necessary for all
to reach Washington.
Officials still declined to give ex
act details of the plans for the draw
ing, further than Secretary Baker's
announcement that each man of the
10,000,000 would know, after It was
over his place among the registered
men of his district, and order of li
ability for service. It may be neces
sary to draw approximately 7,000
numbjers to accomplish this result.
A point that came up to-day was
the appeal of various papers for
permission to publish the names of
men exempted and the reasons for
exemption. Officials said this had
already been given. The regulations
provide that the records of the ex
emption boards shall be open to the
public.
The newspapers of the large pop
ulation centers of the country have
encountered difficulties in their ef
forts to arrange for publication of
the names of men in the order
drawn. In some cases papers would
have to publish 500,000 names. It
has been suggested that the result
of the drawing be made public in
, chapters over a period of days, so
that the names for each lot could
be published on the day of the an
nouncement of their numbers. No
action has been taken as yet and the
decision still stands that all num
bers will be drawn and made public
1 on one day.
Representative Rogers, of Massa
chusetts. made a speech in the House
to-day urging that special provisions
should be made to preve..t dispro
portionate drafts upon communi
ties with large alien populations. He
pointed out that about half of the
men registered at I.awrence, Mass.,
were aliens not subject to military
service and that consequently the
citizens of that place would be doub
ly liable to selection.
CANNING
ARE EXCHANGED

YOU with hundreds of other housewives have successful methods
of canning, preserving und drying foods and fruits which have
either been handed down to you from generations of vour an
cestors or which you have evolved. Ths feature of the HARRIS

PRESERVING CANNING DRYING
without previous experience, and with no other that
to be found in. almost every home, anyone, adult or child should be
able to can food satisfactorily by the methods which follow.
They are a combination of the best methods found by the Gov
ernment and the housewives of Central Pensylvania. By the methods
various vegetables, soups, meats, fish and practically any other food
or combination of foods can be canned, as well as fruits and tomatoes,
the products most commonly canned.
The simple, general rules necessary for successful canning, by
the one period, cold phek methods will be given.
In all home can.ning It should be born in mind that when hermetic
ally sealed containers are difficult to obtain, food products which
cannot be preserved easily in other ways should be given preference
Ths would make inadvisable in most cases at times like the present]
the canning of such products as hominy, dried beans, potatoes and
similar foods.
V )
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
If food products are left in their
natural state, most of them spoil in
a few hours or a few days, owing to
the growth on their surface or in
their tissues of bacteria, molds or
other organisms of decay. If such
organisms usually present in food can
be killed and the entrance of other
organisms prevented, the food can be
kept in good condition practically in
definitely. It is this destruction of
organisms and protection of the food
from contamination that Is accom
plished .by canning, the preparation
and treatment before packing and
process of placing food products In
and sterilizing them,
them.
Most homemakers are familiar with
some kind of canning. Much of the
canning practiced in homes, however,
has been restricted to the putting up
of fruits. The canning of vegetables
and of meats has been considered un
til recently by all but a relatively
few persons to be too complicated to
be done satisfactorily at home. By
the trying out of different methods it
has been found to be a relatively sim
ple matter to can practically any
food product in the home with ordi

I*reparation* For CnnnlnK
The first steps in this canning
method, as in all canning, consist in
the preparation and cleaning of con
tainers and in the preparation of the
products to be canned by washing,
paring, trimming and cutting into
pieces where division is necessary.
Those engaged in the work should
start with elean hands, clean uten
sils, clean, sound, fresh products, and
pure, clean, soft water. No vegeta
bles or fruits which are withered or
unsound should be/canned. If pos
sible, only fruits and vegetables
picked the day of canning should be
used. Peas and corn, which lose
their flavor rapidly, should be canned.
In fact, within five hours if a choice
product is desired.
Before the preparation of the prod
ucts is begun the containers should
be washed. If glass or crockery jars
are used they should be placed in a
vessel of cold water over a fire to
heat. They will then be hot and
ready for use when the products have
been prepared for packing.
All grit and dirt should be washed
carefully from the materials to be
used. All products should be graded
especially for ripeness. Large fruits
and vegetables should be pared if
necessary, and small fruits, berries
and greens picked over carefully.

W.E. DUNBAR IS
FOULLY KILLED
BY WORKMAN
Man Widely Known Here'
Shot in Back; Dies
Instantly
After he had dismissed .1 workman
in.his employ, Wiir-.am E. Dunbar,
son of Mrs. Catherine E. Dunbar,
218 North Second street, was shot'
and killed yesterday afternoon at
East Aurora, N. Y.
Dunbar dismissed Antonio Rosso
and then turned and walked away
from him. Rosso drew a revolver
from his pocket, pointed the gun,
tired, and then calmly walked from
the scene. The foreigners who wit
nessed the murder were too astound
ed to even make an attempt to get
the man. Up until a late hour this
afternoon no word had bee* received
in this city concerning the capture
of the criminal.
Mr. Dunbar was supervisor of
the Buffalo division. Yesterday aft
ernoon he was forced to censure the
Italian. A short time later Rosso
threatened his life and was next
seen pointing the revolver.
Brought Here For Burial
Beginning as a surveyor at this
city Mr. Dunbar rapidly advanced
to his present position. At one time
he was supervisor near Ridgway and
later made supervisor of the Buffalo
division.
Funeral services will be held to
morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock from
the home of his mother. Burial will
be made in the Harrisburg Ceme
tery. His wife, formerly Miss Edna
Smith of this c*iy, one daughter, the
mother, one sister, Mrs. Mercer B.
Tate, and a brother, Harry P. Dun
bar, survive.

Coal Prices
Not Reduced
"JV/r ANY persons are confused from
* J-reading in the daily papers about
coal price reductions.
Bituminous Coal and not Anthracite Coal
has been affected by a recent agreement be
tween coal operators and U. S.'Government
Officials.
Bituminous Coal'prices, within 12 months, have
advanced $4.50 per ton. '
Bcfo're the War Bituminous Coal sold for $1.50
per ton at the mines. Recent prices were $6.00 per
ton at the mines.
Under the new schedule Bituminous Coal Oper
ators have consented to a charge of $3.50 per net
ton at the mines; which is $2.00 per ton above the
prices in effect before the War.
Anthracite Coal prices have a* 1 'anced but 10 per
cent., merely sufficient to cover actual increase in
the cost of doing business.
Coal Dealers at the present time are having great
difficulty in obtaining adequate supplies of coal for
their customers. This in July when coal usually is
plentiful.
We strongly urge coal consumers to make imme
diate arrangements for next winter's fuel—other
wise when Fall comes they may have trouble get
ting good service.

RUSSIA FACES
BIG PROBLEM
FOR FINANCES
War Brings Total Debt of
Nation Up to 45,000,000,000
Bubles
By Associated Press
Petrograd, Thursday, July 12.
The serious financial problems con
fronting the Russian government
were re/erred to in a report read at
a private meeting of the Duma yes
terday by Deputy Bublikoff, who
said fhe nation's gold reserve of 1,-
755,000,000 rubles covered 13.6 per
cent, of the paper money of the stato
money now in circulation. The debt
which at the end of 1913 was 8,-
800,000,000 rubles at the beginning
of 1917 was 33.600,000,000. If the
paper money issued during the war
were added, he said, the total debt
was brought up to about 45,000,000,-
000 rubles.
Of the total national expendi
tures in 1917 between 12,000,000,-
000 and 14,000,000,000 rubles would
be represented by deficit. The depu
ty referred to the great deteriroa
tion in purchasing value of the ruble
ana said that to cover this deficit by
the issuance of more paper would
mean a further serious increase in
prices.
Unfeavorablc Feature
Another unfavorable feature of
the general situation is a decrease
of 30 per cent, in the production of
coal in Southern Russia. M. Bubli
koff also referred to the circum
stances that 40 per cent, of the
country's locomotives and cars are
in the shops awaiting repairs.
The financial problems, the depu
ty said in his opinion, could not be
solved by the imposition of fresh
taxation which would remove the
stlmulas for productive labor.
SERVICES FOR MR. HOII.KAU
Funeral services will be held to
morrow afternoon, at 2 o'clock, for
Howard Bower Boileau, aged 60. who
died Tuesday at his home, 1101 Penn
