.Telephones From Helena That He
Will Return As Soon As the POr

'__
BUTTE, Mont., June 25.—President
Moyer, of the Western Federation of
Miners, who fled from this city be
cause of the attack made upon him
and his associates by the members
of the newly organized union, tele
phoned today from Helena; where he
has sought refuge, that he will re
turn in a few days just as soon as
the police of this city can assure
him of protection from the attacks
of the I W. W. workers and agita
tors.
The conditions here are no better
than yesterday and the police fear
to make arrests because the miners
will attack the jails and liberate the
prisoners, as they have done on sev
eral occasions. No arrests have been
made because of the dynamiting of
Union hall by the new union. The
building is a complete wreck.
But few of the mines are work
ing full crews, as the men prefer1 to
remain on the streets watching the
many fights than to go below in the
mines. The mine owners threaten to
import men to take the place of those
who do not report and should they
carry out the threat the situation will
only be further complicated.

Illness Given As Reason—Was Made
King By Officers Who Murder
^ ed His Predecessor.
BELGRADE, Servia, June 25—King
Peter, of Servia, today abdicated the
throne in favaor of his eldest son,
the crown prince, Alexander, The
announcement was made today from
the palace and the king stated that
he was laying aside the cares of
state because of continued ill health.
▼ King Peter has been on the throne
since the night of June 10, 1903, when
a number of army officers murdered
King Alexander and Queen Dragaand
proclaimed Peter as king. He was
» crowned ih _ October, 1904, but the
royal families of Europe never re
ceived him or his queen - because *of
the belief that he was concerned in
► the murder. They did, however, re-1
cognize his government rather than
have continued unrest-in'the Balkans.
The salary aUoved by parliament
for the King is 12^5,900 and the'pal
f ace is kept up by the government.

WASHINGTON, June 25.—Secre
tary Bryan Is highly pleased at the
successful outcome of the efforts of
the A. B. C. mediators to effect a
settlement of the trouble between the
United States and Mexico and pre
dics that Mexico will be enjoying
peace in three months and that the
present revolution will then be but
t memory. ,
The provision for the compensation
of foreigners through an Interna
tional commission, is especially grat
ifying to the secretary, as it put
aside the worst stumbling block to a
settlement, as England, Germany,
Fratice and Spain wfere preparing to
demand the payment to their citizens
of damages caused by the rebels. The
American government also has many
cialths for damages because of the
murder of our citizens in Mexico and
those injured while on the ' border,
when the rebels' frequently shot
across the line into the United States.
The American mining companies, the
Southern Pacific Railroad, the Stand
ard Oil Company and all the other
corporations are to be reimbursed at
the expense of the Mexican taxpay
ers for the loss caused by the rebels.

STERILIZING LAW
Federal Court Decides It Is Violat

Punishment.
DES MOINES, la., June 25.—The
federal court here today held as un
constitutional the state law recently
passed ordering the wardehs of state
penitentiaries to sterilise criminals,
idiots, dope fiends, drug users, epi
leptics, syphilitics and sexual per
verts.
1 The law also applied to the auth
orities in charge of all state hos
pitals and insane wards. Doctors
itemized a score of convicts and were
About to commence on a second batch
when one of Aha convicts secured the
services of an attorney and by in
junction prevented the doctors from
carrying out the law upon him. The
state courts decided that the law was
constitutional but the federal court
appealed to today held that the fed
eral constitution prohibited cruel
and unusual punishment for crime
and that therefore the law was not
constitutional.
The state will now appeal the case
to the supreme court of the United
States, as many medical authorities
strongly favor the law, claiming that
by is opera ton a class of criminals
now growing larger wih every- gen
eration cad be destroyed, while the

be prevented from bringing Into the:

generations.
