Attempt of Trotzky and Lenine to
Deceive World Revealed at
Polish Mass Meeting.
CHICAGO, Feb. 22. A mass meet
ing arranged by the Polish national
committee as the first of a series to
be held throughout the country to
combat radicalism was one of the
events of the Washington day pro
gramme here today.
State, county and city officials oc
cupied the stage. Henry Pratt Jud-
son, president of the University of
Chicago, "resided and the principal
address was made by Fraiik Comer
ford, a Chicago lawyer, who spent six
months in Kussia and the Balkans
recently studying social and political
problems.
Sewi Not Surprising.
"The news ths morning of a fresh
battle between Russian soviet troops
and those of the republic of Poland
did not come as a surprise to a few
of us In the United States familiar
with a bit of important information
now locked up in the archives of the
state department, but destined to see
the light soon before the foreign re
lations committee of the senate." said
Sir. Comerford.
'Last December confidential infor
mation was disseminated in Russia
y Lenine and Trotzky that they were
not to be shaken if an offer of peace
was made by Kussia to the rest of the
world. It was not a bona fide pro
posal, but one designed to obtain a
respite so that red Russia might
gather strength for a greater effort
to establish communism throughout
the world."
Poles Make Stand.
"A single copy of this confidential
publication reached the state depart
ment and I believe this to be the first
public statement of its existence.
"True enough, the so-called peace
offer made its appearance the follow
ing month. Russian leaders were not
deceived, for they had been warned,
but the general public of the rest of
the world was. Possibly those in
authority were not, for I have ob
served a slight apparent awakening
to the knowledge that the republic
of Poland must be strengthened in
her resistance to the advance of the
soviet menace. Poland, devastated
and starving, is making a desperate
stand."
government agencies Jointly entrusted
with enforcement of the statute.
Agents of the prohibition director's
oriice in Michigan, however, will re
ceive full co-operation of the Wash
thorities. It was said, ai
beyond advice and instruc-
to procedure officials did
say what steps would be taken
here.
It was pointed out at the depart
ment of Justice that the request of
Major A V. Dalrvmple. prohibition
director of the central states, that
the attorney-general issue warrants
for the Iron county authorities ac
cused of defying the law could not
be granted, inasmuch as the judicial,
and not the prosecuting branch, must
swear out warrants. The attorney-
general might request the United
States attorney at Grand Rapids that
prompt application for warrants be
made to the nearest United States
commissioner.
Officials predicted bat the "rebel
lion" would be short-lived, saying
that enforcement of the prohibition
laws were entered into the determi
nation to act swiftly.
The outbreak in Michigan is prob
ably the first of its kind in this coun
try bearing a resemblance to the his
toric "whisky rebellion" of President
Washington's first term, when bands
of farmers in western Pennsylvania
took to arms to resist the excise taxes
designed by Alexander Hamilton for
the support of the new government.
The taxes, which were a novelty, re
mained, however, a part of the finan
cial system and were one of the mon
uments of the young genius who was
first secretary of the treasury.

POLES DEFEAT RUSSIAN REDS
Offensive V'ndcrtaken by Soviet
Army Is Repulsed.
WARSAW, Feb. 21. An attack,
which a Poliph official communica
tion issued today, terms the opening
or a loner-prepared bolshevik of
fensive, was repulsed by the Poles on
the northeastern front after a one
day battle. The bolshevik! coming
in a southwesterly direction between
Polock and Bobruisk, were thrown
back everywhere with "heavy losses,"
it says.
The communication adds that the
Poles took the offensive at the same
time in the south, making: territorial
gains and rapturing much material.
COUNTY DEFIES DRY LAW
(Continued From First Pare.)
by Prosecuting Attorney McDonough
of Iron county, when he learned that
Major A. V. Dairy mple. prohibition
director for the central states, had
declared Iron county "in open revolt"
, against federal authority.
Trosecutor McDonough said he
would more than welcome the federal
officers with a warrant for his ar
rest and that it would not require an
armed expedition of dry agents and
Michigan state police to make the
arrest.
"The best thing they could do is to
swear out a warrant for my arrest
and try to prosecute me," he said. "It
would be the best thing for me and
for the people for we would then learn
whether or not the laws of this kind
are to be enforced and whether or not
the people are entitled to protection
as well as persecution at the bands
of their officers."
According to McDonough the three
Italians involved in the case are John.
Joseph and Steven Stalcuzzi, principal
directors of the Peninsula Tacking
company at Iron Klver, and owners
of the largest grocery and meat mar
ket in the city.
In their home above the store, Mr.
McDonough claims, they were in pos
session of a number of barrels of
wine, a grape wine such as has been
manufactured by the Italians for home
consumption for many years.
A short time ago the constabulary
officers asked a warrant for the ar
rest of th brothers, he said, which
warrant he issued. The officers prom
ised to assume any and all responsi
bility for the arrests. When brought
to trial the three men were dismissed
by the state court. Then the con
stabulary officers appealed to the
federal authorities and returned In the
company of Leo J. Grove, supervisor
of federal prohibition enforcement in
the upper peninsula. They went to
the home of the Stalcuzzi brothers.
McDonough said, and began a raid.
He admitted that he then broke in
upon the scene and first demanded the
t.-edentials of Mr. Grove.
The prosecutor said he was handed
a letter stating that Grove had been
appointed a district deputy prohibi
tion enforcement officer.
"I took little stock in this letter."
Prosecutor McDonough said, "when
lie could not produce the regular cre
dential card carried by federal offi
cials." "Owing to the fact that he had no
warrant." McDonough said. "I took
everything he had, including the let
ter, and these things will be placed in
the hands of Major Dalrvmple any
tnne he wishes them and produces his
credentials to show that he is Major
Dairy mple.
"I will be peaceably awaiting Mr.
Dairy mple and his armed forces, as
will all the other persons in Iron
county who believe in law and en
forcement of law."

Social events of many kinds, polit
ical functions and a holiday period
running over two days mark the ob
servance of George Washington's
birthday in Portland this year. As
I the anniversary this year fell upon
Sunday, Monday has been proclaimed
as the legal holiday, and public activ
ity will practically be at a standstill
during the day. City and county of
fices and courts will be closed
throughout the- day, banks will also
remain closed., while the schools will
assemble only long, enough to allow
for brief patriotic exercises.
The observance of the 188th anni
versary of the birth of the "Father
of His Country" may be considered
to have begun Saturday evening,
when a number of public and a host
of private social affairs were held.
Among the interesting social features
of Saturday evening was the banquet
of the Oregon chapter of the Sons of
the American Revolution at the Uni
versity club, while members of both
the leading political parties took ad
vantage of the occasion to hold func
tions. The Leonard Wood Republican
club gathered for a banquet at the
Benson hotel, while the Jackson club
held a dance and entertainment at
the Multnomah.
Pastors Devote Sermons.
At the banquet of the Sons of the
American Revolution, Judge Wallace
McCamant, president of the Oregon
chapter, presided, and talks were
made by Bishop Walter Taylor Sum
ner on "Washington and Futurity";
Dr H. L. Bates of Pacific university
on "A Famous Ship and Its Cargo",
referring to the Mayflower; and H. M.
Tomlinson on "The Day We Cele
brate." Yesterday the thoughts of thou
sands turned to George Washington
and his work in laying the corner
stone of the nation, when pastors at
nearly all the churches of the city
made a special place in their services
for patriotic observance of the day.
Many of the ministers devoted their
sermons to the subject of George
Washington, both In regard to his
individual life and his national posi
tion and teachings. The feature of
yesterday afternoon's observance of
the day was the memorial services
for the Portland men who gave their
lives during the world war, held at
the municipal auditorium and attend
ed by hundreds of former soldiers,
sailors and marines and citizens gen
erally. Last evening the Knights of
Columbus of Portland gathered at the
Benson hotel for a Washington ban
quet. the occasion being one of the
important social events of the year
for the lodge.
Observances Continue.
Today the observance of Washing
ton's birthday will be continued. Ad
ditional social functions, both public
and private, are planned for this
evening, the largest of which prob
ably will be the Masonic and Eastern
Star state home benefit at the audi
torium. This affair will be under the
auspices of the Portland lodge of
Eastern Star, and it is expected that
4000 or 5000 people will be present.
The entertainment is the first one
to be held as a benefit for the pro
posed state home of the Masonic and
Eastern Star orders, for which the
property has already been secured
near Forest Grove. Members of the
lodges and their friends are invited,
and a considerable number are ex
pected to attend from surrounding
points. The dance will open with a
grand -march at 8:4a o clock, and-
special colonial features in connection
with the anniversary of Washington s
birthday are planned throughout the
evening.
There will be special exercises at
the Hill Military academy today in
observance of the natal day of the
father of his country. Owing to the
loss of time by students from their
work during the recent storm period
the classes will not be dismissed for
the day, but special features will be
introduced. The observance will also
extend to the military drill.
.'DRY LAW OPINION DUE
Attorney-General to Pass on Ap
parent Conflict In Authority.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 22. (Special.)
Whether or not the federal and state
prohibition laws, are in conflict, and
if so, which act supersedes in the
enforcement of the dry regulations,
are the questions that have been sub
mitted to Attorney-General Brown
for legal opinion. The request for his
opinion is said to have come from dis
trict attorneys of practically every
county in Oregon, the federal depart
ments at Washington and Portland,
druggists, wholesalers and manufac
turers.
Under the federal statutes physi
cians are authorized to prescribe cer
tain amounts of brandy for patients,
according to the attorney-general,
while under the state laws these pre
scriptions must be confined to alcohol.
The attorney-general has already
started an Investigation of the ques
tion and expects to give his opinio
some time next week.

OREGON" PUBLIC SERVICE COM
MISSIONER ASKS WITHDRAWAL
Action of Aishton In Disposing of
Empties Declared Body-Blow
to Lumber Men.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 22 (Special.)
That the recent order issued by R K
Aishton, regional director of the
United States railroad administration
with headquarters at Chicago, in
which instructions were given to
move empty cars from California
through Oregon for allocation at the
iKrthern terminals, will prove a
body-blow to the lumber industry of
the Willamette valley to the benefit
of Seattle and other Puget sound
points, was the opinion expressed in
telegram sent Saturday to W . c.
Kendall, manager of the car service
bureau at Washington by Fred J.
Buchtel. chairman of the Oregon pub
lic service commission.
Mr. Buehtel's telegram, which Is
self-explanatory of the conditions ex
isting in Oregon and the immediate
need for relief, follows in part:
An order requiring empties to be
delivered from California through
Oregon to northern lines appears to
this commission as indefensible and
unquestionably would result in an
unfair division of cars. The Aishton
order apparently is founded on mis
apprehension of facts. Inasmuch as

KDWARD L. WELLS. 'Meteorologist.
CHICAGO. Feb. 22. (Special.) It
remained for Frank Branch Riley of
Portland, Or., to smash a time-hon
ored precedent of the Chicago Asso
ciation of Commerce last week when
following his address on "The Lure
of the Great Northwest," the directors
of Chicago's biggest organization
unanimously insisted that he repeat
his talk In the near future.
The week was an exceptionally
busy one for Frank Branch Riley,
and a rather interesting week to
say the least for an old Portlander
who 'has been watching Chicagoans
literally "eat up" Mr. Riley's talk.
And it is with a feeling of pride In old
Portland and the great northwest
that the former Oregonlan watched
Frank "put it over" in characteristic
ityle.
So great was the demand for his
work the past week that Mr. Riley
must come back to Chicago. As an
outgrowth of his engagements here
directors of the Prairie club, the Chi
cago Athletic club, the Chicago
Geographical society, the Rotary club,
the Kiwanis International club, the
Oak Park Community club, the Ken
wood Community club, the Associa
tion of Commerce and several other
organizations have already scheduled
mm on his return trip.
Hundreds Are Turned Away.
Frank filled his first date on Feb
ruary 11 before the Chicago Associa-
ti 3 of Commerce in the LaSalle
hotel's largest dining room. It is
estimated that at least 300 people
were turned away, and an adjoining
room was thrown open to care for
those who could not find seats. The
commerce men were wildly enthusi
astic, and Mr. Riley was given a real
ovation at the conclusion of his talk,
On Friday, February 13, he gave
his lecture at a big community meet
ing in Ravenswood under the auspices
of McCormick university. On Sunday,
February 15, the very select South
Shore Country club was won over
completely by Mr. Riley's eloquence
and his wonderland pictures. The
club was packed, and Mr. Riley was
the personal guest of the president.
On Tuesday of this week old Mandel
hall at Chicago university was crowd
ed with collegians and the lecture
was a repetition of Mr. Riley's other
successes In Chicago. On Thursday
he addressed a gathering of Chicago's
most representative people under the
auspices of the Columbia College of
Expression, on Michigan boulevard.
From all these meetings have come
urgent invitations to repeat, and
probably a dozen organizations are
already after him, in addition to the
clubs which he will address on his
return from the east. There is no
question that the lectures have
aroused a big interest in the west
an interest which will culminate In
an unprecedented wave of tourist
travel the coming summer.
Big City Is Impressed.
The former Portlander enjoyed Mr.
Riley's addresses on several occasions
the past week, and was equally inter
ested in watching the effect upon the
audience. His conclusion was that it
was a ten-strike from an advertising
atandnoint. Chicago is a big. busy.
oppressive city. There is no senti
ment about it It is a hard-shell town
if ever there was one. and yet within
a period of one week an unknown
Portlander has come here and at
tracted the attention of the big men
of Chicago not only to the speaker,
but to the great country ne repre
sents.
straneelv enough, there were other
Pnrtlanders in each of the audiences.
This was evident from the quality of
snnlaime in certain sections of the
audience whenever familiar scenes of
the old town or of Mount Hood were
flashed upon the screen.
Mr. Riley has the peculiar ability
of adapting himself to the type of
audience he is addressing. At the
South Shore Country club Frank was
an immaculate, aristocratic ciuDman
At Mandel hall he was an old "rah-
rah" boy, brimful of pep on account
of the opportunity to appear before
cnllcirians. At the cnamDer or com
merce he was Frank Riley, business
man. All of which is one reason why
Mr. Riley puts over his lectures in
I. nBnlIM .tvlfl
Mr. Riley left for tne east tne lat
ter part of the week, where he has a
big schedule of engagements in New
York. Philadelphia, Boston, wasning
ton and many of the New England
cities. Following the eastern tour
and the return appearance in Chicago
he will continue his) lectures, contin
srent, of course, upon the activities
maintained by the western organization.

When a Star was Made
Virginia Harding had Just returned
from the last dress rehearssL
"Oh. Clara, isn't It terrible T she
almost wept to ttie actress who shared
her hotel room. "That theater wsa
like a refrigerator and I caught mld.
My head Is all stopped up. If I'm not
kept In bed tomorrow I'll look like a
dnpplng beet, and talk like a klaxon.
The play wns to have Its ft rut per
formance In New York. A few days
before the leading woman broke her
ankle. There was no one to play bar
part but Virginia, the understudy.
"Now, Just savs the emotional stuff
for tomorrow," Clara commanded.
Til get a twenty-rive cent box of
Weeks' Break-Up-A-Cold Tablets that
will rid you of that cold over night."
"I haven't faith in cold tablets."
Vlrtrlnia replied.
"Then you have never used Weeks'
Break-Up-A-Cold Tablets. They're dif
ferent. They contain no calomel and
they simply won't make you feel dull
or dopey,' Clara said. "That Is why I
always Insist on Weeks'."
The tablets were bought nd Vir
ginia took them, but with little con
fidence In their powers. In the morn
ing, however, she felt more fit than
.n. nowever, ins leu more ni man
she had for days, but shs rested until
theater time.
The performance went beautlfull.
And when the curtain rang down on
Virginia's big third set scene, ths
house broke Into a thunder of ap
plause. Time and time again shs a
recalled. When the audience finally
let the play go on Virginia rushed into
Clara's dressing room and hugged hr.
"Oh. Clara." she cried. "This wonder
ful night would have been miserable If
It were not for you and Weeks' Break-Up-A-Cold
Tablets."
