Twenty-four were held in jail last night, seven on charges of failing to respond to the call of the selective draft board for examination. Sheritf Harry Wheeler and 25 deputies remained at Osborn Junction, nine miles from here, all night to intercept others of the returning exiles who are expected this morning.

100 But Off at Hneuitu. Over 100 men. who have been at. Columbus since July 13 in the Bisbee deportation camp, and who boarded a special westbound freight train at i the New Mexico point yesterday afternoon, were put off the train at i llaehita, X. M.

The train crew applied to some regular soldiers, who are stationed at Hachita and the troops forced the men to leave the train. A large proportion of this crowd of men was expected to board the westbound pas- senger train, which went through Hachita at 3:30 oclock in the morning. Went To Palumas. According to private advices, ai survey of the refugee camp at Columbus yesterday afternoon showed that 134 yet remained there, consisting principally of foreigners. The Mexicans, in large part, have gone across the border into Chihuahua at Falomas.

Bate yesterday afternoon 11 men from Columbus were detained at the Forest ranch guard camp, located about seven miles east of Bisbee on the Bisbee-Dougkis highway. They were brought into the city later this afternoon and were Held under arrest. Arrive In Bisbee and Leave. Those men who have returned to Bisbee declare, in nearly every case, their intention of closing up any business they may have in the Warren district and leaving at once. In fact, about half those who returned have already left.

P. Brady. Private Secretary Davis Tells of Making Two Large Deposits for Ferguson. Austin, Sept. J.

H. Davis, private secretary to Gov. Ferguson, on the stand, the trial of the governor in the senate this morning turned toward banking matters. Direct examination was completed during the morning and Mr. Crane began a cross examination, following closely the lines of the cross examination to which the governor himself was subjected in the house investigation.

Mr. Davis submitted an itemized statement of the Canyon City normal school fund, as submitted to the senate early this year. He identified the list of deficiency warrants paid by the governor and the deposit warrants covering the $2000 appropriation by the legislature which the governor has refunded. Governor rote Many Letters. On cross examination, Mr.

Crane brought out the testimony that the governoi wrote a considerable number of letters about details of his private affairs, in spite of the fact that these details were all in the hands of Mr. Davis. The witness said he wrote many of these letters and the governor merely signed them. The witness said that if the governor had large sums of money in the safe in his office, he did not know it, although he kept the combination of the safe, and was under the impression the governor did not know the combination. The only large sums of currency handled, Davis said, consisted of $25,000, which he deposited in the American National bank in April, and $15,000, which he deposited later in the same month in same bank.

Neither batch of currency had wrappers on it, he said, but each was held by a rubber band. He did not know where this money came from and the governor made no remarks of any nature about it, except to tell him to make the deposit, which he did. Ferguson Did Know. Governor Ferguson did not know that $5600 was remitted from the official account in the Temple State bank. August 23, 1915, to settle a note with the First National bank of Temple, according to Davis.

It is this sum of $5600 that the articles of impeachment charge the governor appropriating from Canyon City normal school insurance money to settle a private obligation. is said that when the bank statement of September 1, 1915, came to him and he noted the charge, he paid no particular attention to it because it never occurred to him that the bank, by mistake, would charge the official account for any but the rebuilding of the normal school. He testified that he did not call the matter to the attention of the governor. Davis said he transacted practically all the business and never showed him his bank statement. Protection for the Acting governor W.

Hobby today submitted to the consideration of the legislature the enactment of an amendment to the act of the regular session of the legislature, making it a penalty to desecrate the United States flag.

ARMY? DENIED Mexico City, Sept. Democrata printed yesterday a story to the effect that 10,000 Mexicans have been forced into the American army and that president Wilson has ordered these men sent to the front before any other contingent. The paper declares that these Mexicans were seen aboard transports before the latter sailed. According to the story, Mexican consuls protested, but were told the men were citizens of Texas and New Mexico. This answer, the paper says, seems unlikely, as relatives of the men claim they are Mexican citizens.

Responsibility for these statements is placed by El Democrata on Gen. Martin Espinosa, who recently returned to Mexico from the United States. The foreign office last night issued a statement declaring that published reports concerning sending of Mexicans as part of the American army to France were untrue.
