By New York Court.
NEW YORK, May 11. A certificate
of incorporation of the Anti-Prohibition
league, the object of which is to
effect repeal of the national prohibition
law, was granted by Supreme Court

of the building, but we didn't tell him
anything. The first he knew was when
he read it in the papers and of course
he wasn't a man to go and squeal then."
Police describe Ward's conduct dur
ing the holdup as the coolest they ever
heard of in a man his age. The rob
bers walked up the stairs, armed with
the shotgun and pistol and entered the
door of the clubroom just as a waiter
carrying; a basin of water walked out
The waiter dropped the basin, causing
every man in the room to look up.
The gamblers immediately began hid
ing their money. They threw rolls of
bills in the cuspidors, behind the stove,
and in every possible hiding place. Po
lice say this accounts for the compara
tively small sum which the robbers ob
tained. Quickly the robbers lined the gam
blers up along the wall. Ward, armed
with the shotgun, sat down in a chair.

"Give me that pistol, old top," he re

One of the victims was a soldier.

GERMAN WAILS KING
REFTSAIi TO SIGN TREATY NOT
SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED.
Heavy Diplomatic Barrage Support
ed by Colossal Propaganda Ef
forts Expected to Fail.
BY LINCOLN EYRE.
(Copyright by the New York World. Pub-
Ilsnea by Arrangement.)
PARIS, May 11. (Special.) French
public opinion views with equanimity
and considerable amusement Germany's
wails over the peace terms. In trench
eyes unless they be socialist there is
very little danger of the Germans re
fusing to sign the treaty, but a consid
erable danger of them seeking to es
cape carrying out its provisions
later on.
Tho two notes with which Count
Brockdorff-Rantzau initiated his offen
sive against ihe allied settlements
arouse scant interest. The general
feeling is that the German plenipoten
tiaries will lay down a heavy diplo
matic barrage, supported by colossal
propaganda efforts at home and abroad.
in the hope of shaking the ententes
and America's resolution not to alter
the terms materially.
When this onslaught fails, as the
French are certain it will. Count Rant-
zau's campaign will deteriorate into a
guerilla warfare on specific clauses.
notably the economic ones, and wind up
with the affixing of the signatures.
The Petit Parislen notes that the
independent socialists, who will have
considerable influence at Berlin, favor
the acceptance of peace without fur
ther delay.
Pertinaux, in the Echo de Paris, ob
serves that the "German clamor teaches
nothing" and adds that from an
authoritative source in Berne he learns
that the Weimar cabinet expected even
harsher financial stipulations. True
German thought, Pertinaux believes, is
revealed in the movement for the re
establishment of relations with soviet
Russia, whereby Germany hopes to gain
control over that chaotic land, and in
the following remark of Vorwaerts,
When the world is no longer grouped
about France the hour for an honest
Franco-German difel will strike."
That these secret teutonic aspirations
may be checked, fertinaux demands
'25 years of close Anglo-Franco-Amer-
ican collaboration."
BROWN BURIAL TOMORROW
Funeral Set for Famous Abolition
ist's Son, Who Killed Self.
Funeral services for Salmon Brown,
son' of John Brown, the famous aboli
tionist of ante-bellum days, will be held
at 2 P. M. tomorrow in Hamilton's
chapel. Interment probably will be In
the G. A. R. cemetery.
Rev. W. Seeman, of Oregon City, will
officiate. Six civil war veterans, who
have not yet been named, will act as
pallbearers, although Mr. Brown was
not a member of the G. A. R.
Mr. Brown, who was 83 years old.
and who had been sick in bed for al
most two years, committed suicide in
his home at 2024 East Couch street, Sat
urday night. Despondency over sick
ness Is believed to have been the cause.
Mr.1 Brown was the son of John
Brown, whom the confederates executed
at Charleston, Va., in December 1859,
for seizing the Harpers Ferry arsenal
during the stormy days before the out
break of the civil war. Salmon Brown
was not in the raid at Harper's Ferry
with his father and brothers, but had
been with them during many of the epi
sodes of the free-state melees in Kan
sas. Coroner Smith announced yesterday
that he probably would hold no in

In observance of Mothers' day at the

text "Honor thy father and thy mother
that thy days may be long In the land

was given not for mothers or fathers
but for sons and daughters. Unless in
the life of a boy or a girl, a man or a
woman. there be honor, reverence,
veneration, love of parents, there Is a
fearful defect. Motherhood is one of
the divinest functions of human life.
When God came at his best to tho
world, he came through motherhood;
and when he touched life to its re
deeming, he touched It through moth
erhood and in childhood.
"The redeeming and life-making
power of a mother's affection and sac
rifice and service and love is the staple
of the choicest and best of literature.
Your best writers have often shown
that there is something in motherhood
which not alone ennobles, but posi
tively redeems and transfigures person
ality. Motherhood is the embodiment
of endless patience, incessant labor,
sacrifice, service and unfailing love.
Ycur best writers have always pic
tured motherhood thus, because moth
ers are thus.
"In motherhood is the highest, rich
est, divinest and most sacred part of
human life. Motherhood! how gracious,
how great, how good! Use it then as
a sacrament: use it as a means of
grace; have It as a constant altar.
Honor thy father and thy mother' and
thereby thou shalt come to the largest
and best of life."
ENVOYS SEE SINN FEINERS
Americans In Ireland Predict Home
Government Soon.
DUBLIN, May 10. Michael F. Ryan,
former Governor Edward Dunne of Illi
nois and Frank P. Walsh, representa
tives of Irish societies in the United
States, today visited the Sinn Fein
prisoners in Mount Joy prison and later
called on Archbishop Walsh. At a re
ception tendered them by the lord
mayor, member of tho corporation
adopted resolutions wishing the Amer
icans success in their efforts to secure
Irish freedom. Mr. Ryan, replying, said
he believed the United States meant
when it entered the war that all peo
ples should have the right to determine
the government under which they lived.
The Irish people, he concluded, had
selected their own form of govern
ment and it would come perhaps in
six months, perhaps within a year.

a reply from the messenger sent to
Nikolai Lenine, the bolshevik premier
at Moscow, to communicate the en
tente's plan for feeding Russia through
neutrals on condition that the bolshe
vik! cease fighting.
The Russian commission in Paris has
sent to the entente powers and the

AMSTERDAM. May 11. The com
ment of Dutch newspapers on the
peace treaty is generallly unfavora
ble, the Handelsblad calling it "a crime
against Germany and above all against
humanity." The Nleuw, Rotterdameche
Courant says:
"The treaty does not end the war, it
continues it forever."
The Telegraph, on the other hand,
has this comment:
"Germany is treated with terrible
severity, but really did not deserve
better fate."
COBLENZ, May 11. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The Germans in the
American occupied area are mentally
stunned by what they consider the
severity of the peace terms. The Ger
mans of Coblenz appear to feel the
loss of Silesia more than anything else
and exhibit more concern over the
eastern frontier than the occupation
of the Rhineland for the next 5 to 15
years. Thursday the army Intelligence
summary said:
"Never until today has the enormity
of the nation s crimes seemed appar
ent to the Rhineland. population. Pre
pared though they may have been for
the punishment meted out, the Ger
mans nevertheless plainly portrayed
their dismay upon the publication of
the peace terms."
PARIS, May 11. The "first passage
at arms" as the French editorial writ
ers term the exchange of notes be
tween Germany and the allies, evoked
scathing comment in the Sunday Paris
newspapers as the beginning of what
Saint Brice in Le Journal calls a "paper
guerilla war" by the Germans against
the allies terms.
The editorial writers, however, agree
in the opinion that the Germans after
protesting in all the keys of the scale,
will eventually sign, although, says the
Figaro, they will sign only under com
pulsion and with the determination of
evading their engagements at the first
opportunity. Against this, the newspa
per declares, the only safeguard Is an
ever-closer Anglo-French-American al
liance.
ERUSSELS, May 10. Belgium will be
compelled to retrench drastically in ex
penditures because of the peace terms.
Premier de La Croix declared to the
cabinet today. The army, the premier
stated, would be reduced to 100,000 men,
various military enterprises abroad
would be discontinued and relief pay
ments which still cost the country 30,-
000,000 francs monthly, would be con
siderably reduced.

ARTESIAN WATER IS FOUND
Umatilla Project Creates Interest at
Reclamation Offices.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. May 11. Considerable interest
is manifested at the offices of the
reclamation service in this city over a
discovery of artesian water made re
cently on the Umatilla project in
