CLEANUP IS TO BE MADE

Fight to Bitter End."
IROX RIVER, Mich., Feb. 24.
Major A. V. Dalrymple. prohibition en
forcement officer, and hia assistants
arrived from Chicago tonight to clear
up alleged violations of the prohibi
tion law, but took no action. There
was no excitement, iocal officers not
meeting the federal officers, who
went to a hotel while a crowd of
curious citizens looked on quietly.
About 150 persons were at the sta
tion when the Dalrymple party ar
rived, mostly members of the Iron
River post of the American Legion
which met tonight. There were 35
men in the party. The force was
joined here by five state troopers
from Caspian. Mich., and by three fed
eral prohibition officials, sent here
from Chicago.
When the train carrying the federal
officers passed through Crystal Falls.
15 miles from here, rumors were re
ceived by Major Dalrymple that a
warrant had been sworn out for his
arrest at Iron River and that he
would be arrested as he stepped from
the train.
Mild CurlOMlty Is Sbowv.
The.se reports failed to materialize.
No state officers were at the station
and the small crowd that had gathered
to fee the federal officers arrive
viewed their advent with mild curi
osity. Major Dalrymple tonight sent the
following telegram to John Kramer,
prohibition commissioner at Wash
ington: "Decent citizens of northern Michi
gan are outraged at the conduct of
McDonough and h is cohorts. If we
expect to enforce prohibition we must
prosecute this case to the bitter end."
Leo J. Grove, the prohibition agent
who reported the alleged prohibition
revolt to Major Dalrymple at Chicago,
has search warrants for 10 places in
Iron county, and the federal agents
are planning a drive to clean up the
entire district, one of the most iso
lated In the mining section.
.No Trouble Anticipated.
"I anticipate no trouble in Iron
county," Major Dalrymple said. "I
expect to arrest the men we want,
place them in jail and seize any stills
and contraband liquor we can locate,
and leave Iron county a clean and
law-abiding place. We are taking
precautions in case we should meet
resistance during our work, but it
does not mean that we expect a fight."
"The precautions' Major Dalrymple
described included the issuing of 06
rounds of ammunition to the federal
agents.

CHAMPION". Mich.. Feb. 24. Denied
f. warrants for the arrest of officials of
Iron county, Michigan, whom he
charges with conspiracy to obstruct
enforcement of the prohibition law.
Major A. V. Dalrymple. with a force of
35 men, passed through Champion to
night en route to Iron River, with the
avowed intention of making the ar
rests without warrants.
At Negaunee, Mich.. Lieutenant A.
H. Downing, commanding the Michi
gan state constabulary in the upper
peninsula, with a half troop of his
men. joined Major Dalrymple and his
party of 16 federal officers. Five ad
ditional state troops at Caspian, Mich.,
have orders to proceed to Iron River
tonight.
Major Dalrymple announced that all
prisoners taken in the raid would be
taken out by way of Chicago to Grand
Rapids, where they would be ar
raigned. The men whose arrests he seeks
are: Martin McDonough, prosecuting
attorney of Iron county: five deputy
sheriffs, the chief and captain of po
lice of Iron River and three citizens.
"We are going to recover the 11
barrels of wine the men took from
my agents and the state police," Ma
jor Dalrymple declared: "I will
search every house in Iron River if
necessary to recover it.
Neither Major Dalrymple nor Lieu
tenant Downing anticipate any re
sistance at Iron River. The state
troopers left their rifles in barracks
and, like the federal agents, are car
rying only side arms.
GRAND RAPIDS. Mich., Feb. 24.

fusal of warrants for the arrest of

Skolny Clothes
for Young Men
WHAT is style?
In my opinion it is something more than' the little
additions flap, slit, belt, notch, shape of lapel and
cuff that enhance Suit or Overcoat.
The style that marks SKOLNY CLOTHES is the com-'
bined result of artistic designing and practical tailoring.
The creation of the style begins with the fining, and ex
presses itself through to the surface.
Pliancy, flexibility are the effects striven for and se
cured. Not a trace of the usual ready-made about Skolny
Suit or Coat. '

Dr. V. V. Youngson Gives History
of Organization and Purposes
and Work Accomplished.
In celebration of the 15th anniver
sary of the founding of the organiza
tion, members of the Portland Rotary
club yesterday heard a concise enun
ciation of the principles of rotary by
hir fellow member, ur. w. v
Youngson. coupled with an entertain
ine history of its growth. He told
how its beginning was had in the
inneliness of one man in a great city
and the desire to make friends and
enlarge circle of acquaintance led to
reirular meetings of a group or tour,
who rotated their gatherings between
the places of business of the mem
bers, thereby establishing the name
and through the fact that each repre
sented a different line of business,
fixed the principle of having the clubs
composed of a single representative
of each industry or profession. Faul
P. Harris, an attorney of Chicago, was
the originator of the idea and is still
a member of the Chicago ciud.
The national association was formed
at a convention of delegates held in
1910 at Chicago, when there were
clubs established in 14 cities, one of
which was Portland. The second con
rention was held in Portland In 1911,
when the slogan, "He profits most
who serves best," was adopted.
