PEOPLE ARE INTIMIDATED AH Who Do Xot Shout "Hurrah for D'Annunzio," Suspected. Military Coercion Evident. F1U.ME. Oct. 27. (By the Asso ciated Press.) -The result of the elec tions In Flume yesterday may easily be foreshadowed as a vote for the continuation of the national council controlled by the Italian annexation ists. Only one ticket, that of the Unione Xazicnale, or annexationist party, was in the field, with some candidates for the national council. No other party was allowed to con duct a campaign since the manifesto of D'Annunzio declaring Flume in a state of war. The polls were guarded by Italian gendarmes and soldiers, and there was an extravagant display of mil itary power which served to pre vent disorder. . Practically every military convey-, ance was pressed into service to get out the vote, including girls and women, who went to the polls with shouts of joy at the novel experience. Slogans Placard Streets. Walls and streets were placarded with slosAns appealing to all citizens to voK'as a patriotic duty and de claring that anyone not attending the (foils will be a traitor and an enemy to an Italian Flume. The town is now one great mil itary stronghold. Everything, includ ing pocketbooks and baggage, is most rigorously examined upon entrance. Two American newsp&per men were arrested and were roughly handled by gendarmes, who searched all their belongings, but set them at liberty later. The arrests were made, it was stated, on information of one Henry Furst, who claims to be an Amer ican with a home in New York and who handles D' Annunzio's foreign propaganda. Military Coercion Prevails. The whole atmosphere of-Flume is one of military coercion. The corre spondent of the Associated Press was told by disinterested citizens that the only word was "Hurrah for D'An nunzio." Persons holding other views would be subject to suspicion. "It is a terrible situation now," said a neutral to the carrespondent of the Associated Press. "Whoever does not shout 'Hurrah for D'Annunzio' is watched. Nothing is impossible In Flume today, which is ruled by 9000 bayonets. They speak of elections yes, elections at the point of a re volver. "'Are you for Italy? If not, off with you.' " SOLUTION EFFORTS RENEWED Halo-American Difficulties Absorb France and England. ' PARIS, Oct. 28. (Havas.) Efforts of France and England again are be ing brought into play to bring about a solution of the Italo-Amerlcan dif ficulties over the settlement of the Fiume problem, according to the Liberte. today. The paper reports that the Amer ican opposition to the modified Ital ian proposals is unchanged and that the response of Secretary of Stat Lansing is in the negative. -r. r V $ t " V f TWO ASSASSINS TRIED - i , r m f ;" V- - I (-4 it , , f i - Jt " 'i ;.: Vj j:VA-MvA'xff-tf1vftAlirill'-v-t7ftf- "- mnf:rtifmrririrTYrgfirn'flriw--firijirfi nif iinni) 1 i ir irf null m WILLIAM O.

So drastic is the lnforcement act that a man, for instance, may be fined or put in jail for displaying a picture of a. brewery or a keg, but his right to etore liquor in his own home for his own use stood up against all attacks in committee and in both houses of congress. Warning went tonight to dealers selling 2 per cent beer, without ap parent risk heretofore, that the new law fixed one half of 1 per cent as the legal limit of alcoholic content. CALIFORNIA BREWERS SCORE Demurrer to Federal Grand Jury Information Sustained. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 28. An or der sustaining the demurrer to the federal grand Jury information against Rudolph Samet, president, and Louis Helnnch, secretary of una Rainier Brewing company, on charges of violating the war time prohibition act, was issued by the United States circuit court of appeals here today. The order was entered after a stipulation by Frank M. Silva, assistant United States district attor ney, that as the word "intoxicating" was not mentioned in the information in relation to the defendants' output. the action should be dismissed. A meeting today of the California Brewers' association, of which he is president, was announced by Samet following the overriding of the pro hibition act veto by the United States senate. Samet announced that the brewers expected to put out beer containing only one-half of 1 per cent alcoholic content. Gradual Transition to Pre-War Conditions Preferred to Abrupt Change. WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. Julius H. Barnes, United States director of wheat, appeared today before the senate committee on agriculture and forestry to answer charges that the United) States grain corporation had aided speculation by preserving the embargo on wheat after the need for such a restriction had ceased. "The real facts," declared Mr. Barres, "are that export' permits have facilitated the export of wheat and wheat flour to the extent of 77,000,000 busnels in three and one half months, an amount that has been exceeded only twice in orur history." Mr. Barnes admitted that the con trol which the grain corporation had exercised during the two years of the war emergency should be removed In the very near future, but he urged that steps to consummate this should provide for a gradual transition to pre-war conditions and not an abrupt change. One of the first steps, he stated. would be the elimination of export and import restrictions authorized under the wheat guarantee act. He recommended to the president the re moval of the embargo restrictions on June 30, he added, but for - fear ' that the removal of these restrictions might lead to advancing bread prices, action was difrred. OIL BILL CHANGE FAILS Raker's Amendment in Interests of Stockholders Defeated. WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. Unsuccess ful effort was- jnade- today by Repre sentative Raker, democrat,- California, to obtain consideration by the house of an' amendment to the oil -leasing bill so as to prevent stockholders in an oil company formed under anti trust dissolution decrees or with the purpose of escaping anti-trust prose cution . from owning stock In more than one oil company; The proposed amendment, which is similar to that written in the bill by the senate but afterward eliminated by the house lands committee, was held to be out of order by Representative Madden, republican. Illinois, presiding tempo rarily as speaker. Before the amendment of Represen tative Raker was offered the house refused to eliminate a provision of the bill retaining for the states their taxing power over mineral lands leased by the government. BREWERS TO TEST MEASURE Exemptions of Home Drinks Held in Interest of Farmers. NEW YORK. Oct. 28. Pointing out that the law describes as intoxicating any beverage containing as much as one-half of 1 per cent of alcohol by voiume, Hugh F. Fox, secretary of the United States Brewers' associa tion, in a statement tonight, declared that a large number of root beers and other recognized "soft drinks" con tain or will develop more than this amount, unless harmful preservatives are used. He says that exemption of home drinks In the. bill was made to keep the farmer from "rising in wrath if his hard cider or home-made wine should be Interfered with." "There remains nothing for the brewers and the trade generally to do except to comply with the Volstead bill until it. is set aside,' William T. Hirst, attorney for the New York State Brewers' association, said. He announced that a test of the -new act will be made at once. Phone your want ads to the Ore gonlan. Main 7070. A 6095. John I.

Charges that the shipping board had allocated government-owned ships to private corporations in which J. H.

Party, Under Military Conduct, Mistaken for Spartacists Cell Is Turned to Room of Death. (Copyrisht by the New York World. Pub- .unea by Arrangement.) LONDON, Oct. 28, (Special Cable.) A trial In Munich has just disclosed aetans or what Is perhaps the most ghastly episode in the German revo lution, according to a dispatch to the Daily Telegraph. On the night of Mav W when the last sparks of the bolshevlst resist ance were being stamped out In lh streets of Munich, it was reported to Captain von Stutterheim of the first company of the Alexander regiment that an illegal meeting was in prog ress in a house in the district for which he was responsible. He gave orders that those at the gathering De taken into custody. A squad of soldiers was dispatched to the scene. With leveled revolvers and shouts of "hands up" they burst Into a room in'whlch 2C young men had assembled. The young men were much surprised at this sudden and violent Intrusion. They explained that they were members of the St. Joseph's Catholic Recreation club and that only the most innocent forms of amusement had brought them to gether. Youths Shot by Crowds. All their protests were in vain. Stutterheim gave orders that they be delivered into the cellar of St. George's palace which had been set J apart as a temporary Jail. The sight of a party, of civilians under escort through the streets by soldiers attracted much notice and roused the natural assumption that the prisoners were sparticists and thus partners in guilt for miuiy acts of treacherous murder which in the preceding days had stained red rule in the Bavarian city. A crowd composed mainly of sol diers of other detachments closed in around the little convoy and the pris oners became the target of an ever increasing, fire of 111 treatment and abuse. As they were led within the court yard, a large portion of the crowd surged through the gates. Shots at once began to pour upon the helpless club members. The escort tried to shield the captives from the assail ants, but their efforts were not suc cessful, for seven of the prisoners were left dead In the courtyard when the bulk of. the party got down into tne cellar. Assailants Put on Trial. Among the solders who Joined the convoy as it passed through the streets were Jacob Muller, a young butcher who belonged to the Bayruth volunteers, and a non-commissioned officer named MackowskL They were the two chief defendants at the trial. It appeared that on the evening of the assault Muller was to some ex tent under the influence of liquor, as his company had received a liberal ration of wine with their evening meal. Mackowskl placed himself at the entrance to the vaults and struck right and left at the faces of the prisoners as they passed down the stairs. Then Muller, Mackowskl and eight or ten other soldiers followed the prisoners down Into the cellar. Mackowskl ordered the 19 surviv ing members of the club to lie on the floor with their faces downward. The wretched men obeyed. Hardly had they done so when the soldiers began to empty their revolvers into them. Those of the prisoners who were not killed or incapacitated by the first volley Jumped to their feet and screamed for mercy. Their appeals tell on muddied and deafened ears. Fury Maddens Slayer. Muller, in particular, behaved with demoniacal fury. He drew his sword bayonet and slashed about blindly with it at both living and dead. When he had blunted its edge with this ghastly work he snatched away the bayonet of one of his comrades and laid on with that. As soon - as none -of the victims could remain longer on his feet the soldiers pounced about on the pros trate bodies, stamping on hands and faces and plunging their bayonets into those who still showed signs of life. Then they executed a wild dance of triumph over the bodies. Five prisoners in all survived the massacre. One was saved by soldiers who accidentally recognised him as an acquaintance. The other four were either rendered unconscious by their wounds or had presence of mind enough to realize that their lives de pended on their remaining absolutely motionless. Muller and Mackowskl were found guilty of manslaughter and Were sen tenced each to 14 years of penal ser vitude. Needless to say, the lndepen- Markle Can ;Do More ork Than Ever Since Tak ing Tanlae. "Tan lac has done so much for me and I have praised It so highly that my family and numbers of my friends have started taking it," was the state ment made In an interview the other day .by Julian J. Markle, 280 Naomi street, Los Angeles, Cal., a popular employe of the American Brake Shoe and Foundry Co. "Rheumatism troubled me for three years before I began taking Tan lac," continued Mr. Markle. "You see. I work in damp sand a great deal and both my feet ached all the time, and sometimes they would swell up .and pain, me so bad that I would simply have to lay off work until they got better. The rheumatism got in my hands, too, and they swelled so much and hurt me so terribly that I couldn't hold "my tools, and I thought in a short time I would Just have to give up my work entirely. My stomach then went back on me and I lost my appetite, and when I would force my. self to eat a little something I suf fered no end of misery with gas and Indigestion. Every night that . came was agony for me, for if my feet and hands didn't give me awful pains, my stomach would, and many a time I have laid awake the whole night without sleeping a wink. Time and again I bathed my feet for an hour or more at a time before I could re lieve the awful pain, and to make a long story short, my run-down con dition had made me so nervous that I was almost a perfect wreck. "I guess I would still have been in this shape if I hadn't taken Tanlac, for all the other medicines I had tried was simply money thrown away. But I'll tell the world that nothing in the world can buy the good Tanlac has done me. You may not believe It, but today I haven't an ache or pain In my whole body, why, it seems like a dream for ms to be so completely relieved of that old rheumatism. And my stomach is in perfect shape and it makes no difference at all what I eat for I digest it and never have a sign of gas or indigestion, and I have gained Just fifteen pounds. Talk about sleeping, well, I would sleep twelve solid hours a day if somebody didn't come and wake me up In the morning. My nerves are as steady as a man could want them, and In fact, I was never In better health In my whole life then I am right now. In the foundry I am paid by the piece. and my work is so easy since Tanlao has restored me to health that I make two dollars a day or more every day than I used to. Oh, yes, go on ana publish this statement if you want to for -it gives me pleasure to tell the people what Tanlac has done for m and what a remarkable medicine I have found it to be."
