Force Off to Await Compromise
Without Legal Action.
TRON RIVER, Mich., Feb. 25. Thlr-tr-flve
federal agents and members
or the Michigan state constabulary
who arrived here last night under
Major A. V. Dalrymple, prohibition
commissioner for the central states,
to "clean up Iron county, tonight
were returning to their homes, while
Major Dalrymple was bound for
Washington to confer with Prohibi
tion Commissioner John Kramer.
Major Dalrymple, who led the
armed expedition with the avowed
purpose of arresting county and, vil
lage officers on charges of conspiracy
to obstruct enforcement of prohibi
tion, was called off by Mr. Kramer
and ordered to meet the opposing
aides and seek a compromise without
legal action.
The worsting of federal agents In
the first clash with state officers in
enforcing the 18th constitutional
amendment has given a serious blow
to the enforcement of the dry law,
Major Dalrymple declared before he
left for Washington.
Investigation la Awaited.
Martin S. McDonough, prosecuting
attorney of Iron county and leader of
the county authorities, received a tel
egram today from District Attorney
M. H. Walker at Grand Rapids, ad
vising him to take no action until the
district attorney could coma here to
Investigate the case.
Mr. McDonough had obtained a
warrant for the arrest of Major Dal-j-ymple.
charging him wltii rialiciou
libel, and had planned to have It
served when the train bringing the
federal men arrived last night.
A telephone message from Crystal
Falls, 15 miles away, however, noti
fied McDonough that Major Dalrym
ple, in anticipation of trouble, had
issued 50 rounds of ammunition to
each man In his party. The prosecu
tor then advised Iron county citizens
to go home and avert a demonstra
tion that would provoke open hostili
ties. Federal Agents Are Warned.
Today Mr. McDonough waited upon
Major Dalrymple at the hotel where
the latter was staying and warned
him that if he carried out his an
nounced plan and arrested anyone in
Iron county without a warrant, or
searched any private home for liquor,
h countr officers would "arrest
every man in your party and put them
in jail."
"Reports that I took the 11 barrels
of wine from Leo J. Grove, federal
prohibition supervisor for northern
Michigan, and the state police, and
returned it to the Italians from whom
it was taken, are absolutely false,"
Mr. McDonough declared today.
"I confiscated this wine when I
found it in the possession of Grove.
I placed my own men in charge of it
and put the barrels in a safe place."
Priest Has Wine.
Major Dalrymple found nine barrels
of the wine in the basement of the
home of the parish priest today and
destroyed the liquor after taking
samples from each barrel for evi
dence. McDonough explained that the
basement of the parish house was the
only one in Iron River with a secure
lock and therefore was borrowed as. a
storage place for the wine.
"Dalrymple's action In destroying
the liquor, which he needed for evi
dence, was ridiculous," McDonough
declared. "It gave the major a fine
opportunity to pose before the movie
cameras while be knocked in the bar
rel heads. But that is the only thing
I see be pained by the performance."

Development of Coast Facilities for
New Pacific Fleet Proposed by
Appropriation Bills.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. Develop
ment of Pacific coast shore facilities,
including navy-yards and bases, for
the new Pacific fleet, was considered
today by the house naval committee,
which had before it Rear-Admiral
Parks, chief of yards and docks.
Chief among the projects needed Is
a docking and repair plant for capital
ships on San Francisco bay, the ad
miral said. The department has asked
an initial appropriation of ?10,000,000
for this plant, the ultimate cost of
which probably will exceed $50,
000,000. Admiral Parks told the committee
that three sites were under consider
ation. They are at Alameda, Hunter's
Point and Point Richmond. Develop
ment of a repair station against de
stroyers at San Diego and construc
tion of a warehouse there were urged
by Admiral Parks. The city, he said,
would give the government 127 acres
of land as the site of the repair sta
tion, andwater-front property worth
$400,000 for the warehouse.
Admiral Parks also submitted esti
mates for new equipment for the
navy-yards On Puget sound and at
Pearl harbor, the total appropriations
for the two yards to be about $3,000,-
000. He also asked $1,500,000 for es
tablishing a submarine base at San
Pedro, Cal., on land to be given the
department by the city of Los An
geles, and $1,000,000 for a submarine
and destroyer base at Port Angeles,
Wash, and a similar amount - for a
like base at Tongue Point, Or., on
land offered by Astoria. Establish
ment of fuel-oil bases also was urged
by the admiral, but discussion of the
various projects was deferred until
tomorrow eo that Secretary Daniels
might appear before the committee to
discuss the naval policy In the Pa

OHIO IS BATTLEGROUND
Stage All Set in Pivotal State for
Royal Political Fight.
COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 25. Ohio,
pivotal state in presidential elections,
which promises to be one of the chief
battlegrounds next November, is to be
also one of the chief storm centers in
the selection of delegates to the re
publican national convention.
This was made certain today when
Major-General Leonard Wood, for
mally ' entered the 'rftat'e 'to contest
with United States Senator Warren G.
Harding, the preferential choice of
Ohio's voters for president and also
for tho state's 48 delegates to the Chi
cago convention. The Ohio primary
will be held April 27.
James R. Garfield of Cleveland, sec
retary of the interior under Roose
velt, also filed as a candidate for
president. His candidacy, it was ex-
plained at General Wood's headquar
ters, la for the purpose of giving
Wood candidates for delegate a second
choice preference as required by the
Ohio primary law.

ranch reported sold today to N. J.
Blagen, representative of the Grays
Harbor Lumber company, for a con
sideration of $109,000, and on which
it is proposed to build an immense

The deal has been pending for some
time, and the abstract is not yet com

EVEN DEMOCRATS AMAZED

NEW SECRETARY 'ZEALOT'
Since Joining Bourbon Ranks in
1916 Stump Has Been Taken in
Interests of President.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Feb. 25. r Washington
gasped again today when the news
wis broken that the president had
appointed Bainbridge Colby secretary
of state to succeed Robert Lansing.
Why it is that this town never
grows accustomed to Mr. Wilson's
riot of whimsical appointments it is
difficult to understand, but each se
lection creates just as much aston
ishmcnt as the Dreceding one. It was
perhaps the psychology of the Colby
appointment that made public sur
prise so noticeable, because most of
the official set had not bad time to
recover breath from the Jolt of yes
terday when it was announced that
Charles R. Crane, multi-millionaire
manufacturer of Chicago, had been
named as minister to China.
Democrats Amazed Also.
Democrats were Just as much
amazed at the two appointments as
were republicans. To keen observers
it appeared that Mr. Wilson was seek
ing to goad leaders of his party, as
well as the republican members of
the senate, into further antagonism
toward him by throwing these two
appointments at them.
Publicly the principal objection to
the two new appointments is summed
! h fhare-e that they are "intel
lectual eccentrics," and are "erratic.
Privately, those who dislike them say
much more, aa usual In such cases.
Tf was freouently stated around the
capitol lobbieB this afternoon that the
senate would not confirm euner ap
pointment, but this was probably a
rock less forecast.
Colby doubtless will be confirmed
as secretary of state, after some ae
lav. but Crane stands a big chance
of being rejected.
Formerly a Progressive.
Bainbridge Colby came Into the
democratic party througn tne intra
party progressive route. He became
a democrat in 1916. when Roosevelt,
whom he had been following, returned
to the republican party. In any party
he represents the type of the zealot.
When he became a democrat he could
make more noise on the subject than
most men who had been democrats
for four generations.
He functioned as a so-called non
partisan speaker for Mr. Wilson in
1916 under the auspices of an organ
ization presided over by Norman Hap
good, another of the same type. After
Wilson was re-elected Mr. Colby was
appointed to' the shipping board and
was used on numerous political mis
sions, one of which was to go out on
the stump in Wisconsin in 1917 to
help elect the president's protege, J.

Family in Kansas City Broken Up
as Result of Indiscretion of
Y. M. C. A. Secretary.
KANSAS CITT, Mo, Feb. 25. (Spe
cial.) Proceedings brought before the
Kansas City immigration authorities
to deport Mademoiselle Madeleine Ba
bin, a French girl, brought to light
today a Franco-American romance
and an American tragedy. The prin
cipals involved are Lee Shippey, poet,
author, editor. Chautauqua lecturer,
newspaperman and Y. M. C. A. secre
tary; Mademoiselle Babin and Mrs.
Mary Woodson Shippey, magazine
writer.
Testimony was taken in secret by
the immigration commissioner and
transcript of the evidence, with the
recommendations of the immigration
inspector regarding deportation, has
been sent to the department of labor
at Washington for final action. Made
moiselle Babin is at liberty awaiting
the determination of the case by the
authorities in Washington.
Shippey went to France in the lat
ter days of the war as a secretary of
the Y. M. C. A. In the course of his
work he became acquainted with the
Babin family of mother and two
daughters. Prior to the war the fam
ily had been wealthy. The father,
who was a Paris merchant, enlisted
in the army and the family fortunes
were wiped out. The father was in
valided out of the army after four
years' service arid died at home.
Shippey became a godfather to the
Babin family. They knew he was
married, although be seldom spoke of
his family in America. Since coming
to America the mother has been de'
signing and making gowns, Mademoi
selle Madeline teaching French and
the slater working in an office.
The latter part of August, 1919,
Shippey sailed for borne after having
spent a year in France. Mrs. Shippey
went to New York to meet her husi
band. She was there when he arrived.
It was there, it now develops, that
Mrs. Shippey first learned of her hus
band's infatuation for the French girl,
Madeleine Babin.
"There is a little girl in Paris that
I love the best in the world." Shippey
told bis wife. "I can't live with you
pny longer. I love her. I wish you
would get a divorce on any grounds
you choose."
Mrs. Shippey refused. The two made
the journey home together. He re
turned to nis literary work and re
sumed his writing of "Missouri
Notes," which column he wrote for
the Star eefore going to Franc JSht
the snock of learning of her husband's
infatuation for the girl completely
unnerved Mrs. Shippey. She now lies
helpless, stricken with an acute form
of neuritis of the brain and body, due,
physicians say, to the mental shock
she received.
In the latter part of November
Mademoiselle Babin arrived in Kansas
City. She was on her way to Port
land, Or., to teach French in a girl's
school. Her purse had been robbed
in New York. She explained to Ship
pey that she was in a delicate condi
tion, and ill. She remained In Kan
sas City and wrote her mother that
she was ill. The mother and sister
arrived in Kansas City about Christ
mas time.
A misplaced letter, found by a negro
maid and read by Mrs. Shippey, dis
closed the fact that Mademoiselle
Babin was in Kansas City and bet
mother and sister on the way. Ship
pey confessed everything to his wife
and asked her again to get a divorce.
He said he wanted to give a name to
the expected child. Mrs. Shippey
again refused. She spoke of bis duty
to her and their S-year-old son. Mrs.
Shippey offered to take the child and
rear it as one of her own. Shippey
would not agrea to that.
Six weeks aaro the final break came.

other small areas In the Lakeview and
Portland, Or., and the Vancouver,
Wash., districts.
The lands to be opened to settle
ment under the homestead laws are
scattered throughout the counties ad
jacent to or within 40 miles on either
side of the line of the Southern Pa
cific railroad through the state. Some
of the land is mountainous, chiefly
valuable 'for grazing and in some in-
stances only tracts of 40 acres are to
be had in a place, while in other lo
calities there are entire sections.
Filings will be made at the land
office in the district of which the land
desired by the applicant Is situated.

under the direction of E. E. Rands
and has, been under way for many
months. Of the land In the northern

Town Hears Bugle Calls.
Tents were pitched shortly after
tne arrival at 2:40 o'clock, and Monte
sano tonight heard the bugle calls by
which the routine of regular army
is .ordered. In answer to rumors of
possible violence and reports of inves
tlgators, who say the I. W. W. may
take up arms for the defendants, the
regulars are in town.
' Court resumed sessions this morn
ing, when an alternate juror replaced
Edward Parr, the Hoquiam Juror, who
is incapacitated by Illness but even
the resumption of the trial itself was
thrown" into the background by the
discussion and dissension caused by
tne arrival of the soldiers.
Troops' Presence Justified.
"The request was made because it
seemed but a safe precaution to take,
reiterated Prosecutor Allen. The pres
ence of troops insures that no violence
shall interrupt the trial or bring dis
order. It is as fair to the defense as
to the state. I. W. W. counsel him
self has said that he feared for the
safety of the defendants in Grays
Harbor county. This measure is pro
tection." "Propaganda," commented George
F. Vanderveer, counsel for the de
fense, when he learned that the
regulars were coming. "There is no
need for them in Montesano."
C. L. Schuff, secretary to Governor
Hart, arrived last night and spent
today investigating the necessity for
the presence of the soldiers. He con
ferred with Sheriff Jeff Bartell of
Grays Harbor county, and with Prose
cutor Allen and will report to Gov
ernor Hart. It is understood that Mr,
Schuff believes the local situation
is not such as to warrant the pres
ence of the regulars.

ATLANTA. Ga-, Feb. 25. Herbert
Hoover Informed the Georgia demo

that he did not feel any public service
would be performed by the Injection
of himself into the contest for presi
dential nomination and therefore be
did not intend to file his name for a

preferential primary.
Mr. Hoover's candidacy was brought
forward in Georgia recently by a pe
tition signed by more than the re
quired 100 democrats. Aa the com
mittee had ruled that a man must be
a democrat to run in the primaries
and as Mr. Hoover never had declared
himself, a letter was written asking
him If he cared to qualify. His reply,
made public tonight, said:
"I feel confident that it Is not nec
essary to dwell at length upon my
gratitude for the confidence expressed
in your letter of February 22.
"I especially appreciate it since I
was. not Identified with the demo
cratic party before the war and my
official connection with the govern
ment has been solely a war service
and consequently not of a partisan
character. .
"I have not been able to persuade
myself that any real public service
will be performed by injecting myself
into the race for the nomination for
the greatest honor at the disposal of
the American people.
"Therefore, aside from any other
reason, I do not intend to file my
name."

plaintiff in the Hawley divorce case,

room an unidentified man, while her
husband waa in an adjolnlnr room,
according to the testimony of Mrs.
Leslie Kidder of Vancouver, Wash,

was a domestic at the Hawley home
Just after the return of Mrs. Hawley

a man called. I waa in the bedroom
with Mrs. Hawley -nd the baby was
in another room, and Mrs. Hawley
told me to get the baby and take her
to the bedroom, and she went to the
