of Dry Law, Plaint.
NEW LICENSES DUE SOON
Internal Revenue Bureau Develop
ing Flans to Transfer Iiiquor
From Warehouse to Retailer.
WASHINGTON". Aug-. 6. (By th
Associated Press.) El'mination of
the wholesale liquor dealer s a
means of simplifying prohibition en
forcement appeare-' a possibility to
night -with the announcement by Pro
hibition Commissioner Kramer mat
the issue of wholesale permits in the
future would be "rigidly restricted."
Mr. Kramer declared the wholesale
traffic presented -he greatest prob
lem with which enforcement officials
were confronted. Wholesale dealers,
he asserted, resorted to subterfuges
which perplexed government agents
and which made the dry law difficult
to enforce. This was said to have
developed consideration by the-internal
revenue bureau of a plan by
which the quantity dealer would be
driven out of bu iness entirely and
the liquor transfer mad- direct froti
bonded warehouses t6 retailer or con-
umer.
Question Come Head.
The approaching period when
wholesale licenses are re-Issued for
the next year is expected to bring
the question to a head.
Applications for -wholesale licenses
must be in the hands of federal offi
cial bv October 1. giving the govern
ment three months to investigate the
responsibility of the application

650 Gallons of Mash, 4 Sacks of
Sugar, 2 00 Gallons Kerosene,
3 Men Taken.
One hundred and fifty gallons of
corn whisky, 650 gallons of mash and
other supplies for distilling liquor
were seized last night in a raid by
revenue officers and Deputy Sheriff
Long of Clackamas county in a raid
at Donald, Or. W. R. Dempsey and
G. Johnson were arrested and charged
with operating the plant.
ifty gallons of the whisky was
found in an automobile, which the
raiders believed was. ready, to start
for Portland. The supplies captured
consisted of four sacks of sugar, nine
sacks of corn .. meal, .100 pounds of
hops and 200 gallons of kerosene.
The kerosene was for use in distill-
intr the mash.
The revenue men say the still had
been in operation since May, when
Dempsey and Johnson rented a 20
acre farm at Donald. A 6-room house
on the farm is said to have been re
modeled into a liquor factory.
The still is the third seized by the
revenue men in the Willamette valley

days. One was seized at Newberg,
Or., and the other, an SO-gallon-a-day

event the government permits the
wholesalers to continue in business,

ho record of the applicant and "all of

Treasury records reveal that more
wholesale licenses are in existence
now than immediately prior to the
effective date of the Volstead act.
Commissioner Kramer said that while
h wholHulers were being watched
closely, drastic action had been made
necessary In certain localities.
A cents flashed to Maryland.

inn- from the ruling; of Attorney-Gen
eral Armstrong that no Maryland

could aid in dry law enforcement
work has compelled the transfer of
additional federal agents, to the
Maryland district, Mr. Kramer an
nounced. He added that enforcement
work would be pushed everywhere
regardless of local co-operation.
A A another step toward strict en
forcement, officials were said to be
drafting regulations defining the
-status of federal enforcement offi
cials and also to be inquiring into
state law provisions to determine
what duties the local and state offi
cers could be expected to assume in
upholding federal laws.

CENTRALIA, Wash., Aug. . (Spe
eial.) A. Anderson was cut and
bruised and Mrs. Anderson sustained
a severe scalp wound yesterday even
ing when their motor truck was
struck by a Milwaukee passenger
train at the Main street crossing in
this city. The couples 6-year-old son
was unhurt. The accident was caused
by Anderson killing the engine of
his truck with the machine on the
trucks. The truck was badly damaged.
An automobile driven by Mrs.
Clarence Ektnan was badly damaged
"Wednesday evening when it crashed
.into a curb at the corner of Rower
avenue and Cherry street. Mrs. Ekman
was unhurt.
BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 6. Business
interests are manifesting concern
over rumors that a country-wide gen
eral strike is imminent as the result
of agitation by the extremist ele
ments of the labor population. Citi
zens are laying in supplies of food
against an emergency.
It is feared that on account of the
bolshevik successes and growing dis
content over recent sharp increases
in the cost of necessities and rents
these agitators may win sufficient
adherents to be successful.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. (By the
Associated Press.) Soviet Russia
has followed up its successes against
Poland with a thrust into south
western Asia and its forces already
are threatening the Persian capital
of Teheran. This rather unexpected
move Is believeti by some officials
and diplomats here to be directed
against the British and French do
main in the near east and Asia.
Aewa of the soviet army's advance
south and west of the Caspian -sea
was conveyed today in official dis
patches from J. L. Caldwell, American
minister to Persia and the American
consul at Tabriz. The minister asked
permission to remove the -American
legation from Teheran in view of
the preparations of the Persian gov
ernment 'to evacuate the capital,
while the consul asked authority to
move . from Tabriz. Both requests
were granted.
Official observers have conceded
that the opening of a new theater of
warfare by the bolsheviki complicates
an already grave situation. They are
of the opinion that this latest devel
opment will prevent a decision by the
allied governments as to general
measures to check the soviet menace.
Vnlted States Officials Concerned.
The Polish situation engaged offi
cials of the . American government
closely today and Secretary Colby and
Under Secretary Davis held an hour's
conferences with President Wilson at
the White House. Mr. Colby refused
to discuss the conference and no
statement was forthcoming from the
White House. At the state department
was stated that communications
had been received from the allied gov
ernments outlining a tentative course
of action looking to the aid of Poland
and it was assumed that these were
among the subjects discussed by the
department officials with the president.
If any decision was reached at the
White House conference or later no
intimation of it was permitted to
reach the public. Besides communi
cations from the allies, the requests
of Poland for a declaration of "moral
support" of the United States gov
ernment and for permission to pur
chase American army supplies still
are before the state department.
Situati-m Seems Easier.
Official dispatches today indicated
a Blight improvement in the situation
in Poland. This official communica
tion was received! by the legation
from Warsaw:
"Our counter action In the region of
Brody is developing satisfactorily. We
occupied Sranislawozyk and Brody.
xne line oi tne river Bug is in our
hands. In the region of Winza we
advanced and defeated bolshevik
regiments. The attacks on Nabirs
were repulsed. Countless refugees
Irom the territories occupied by bol-
sneviki are lining the country, espe
cially Warsaw. Food is necessary.
The feeling of the civilian population
ana volunteers is good."
An announcement by the state de
partment said that "the determina
tion ot the Polish government not to
be stampeded into an unnecessarily
nurnea exit Irom Warsaw and to re
sist to the utmost the bolshevik of
fensive was Indicated in a dispatch
today from the American legation in
Warsaw.
The department's information indi
cated the bolsheviki were purposely
avoiding definite commitments with
respect to the opening of armistice
negotiations in order to prolong the
nostmties ana carry the fighting
inrougn to Warsaw.
Reds May Join Turks-
Military experts are of the opinion
mat in tneir advance into southwest
ern Asia the bolsheviki will under
take to unite with the Turkish na
tionalists and other discontented Mos
cm elements, in a supreme effort to
take advantage of ithe existing un
rest in that part of the world to un
dermine the security of the British
ana French in the near east and Asia.

Speaker Before Democratic Club
Says San Francisco Session
One of Poise.
' All that Anne Shannon Monroe
learned at Chicago is that republi
cans wear suspenders which they
let drop from their shoulders when
it grows too hot, and throw open
their shirt fronts quite immodest
ly, she told a gathering of democrat
ic men and women at the central 11
brary last night in a talk before the
Cox-Roosevelt club.
But in San Francisco, the speaker
saia, it was vastly different. "Poise,
brains, intellect, inspiration and con
structive ideas" were there and be
cause of the mild climate around the
Golden Gate, she said, she was unable
to gather as much first-hand infor
mation about the anatomy of demo
cratic men as she did about repub
licans. .
She characterized the Chicago con
vention as a boss-ridden meeting, but
at San Francisco she opined it was
vastly different, for the voice of
democracy spoke when it chose Cox
for its standard bearer.
She also said "we're a bunch of
fools if we let the republicans beat
this yeai." Prior to this' asser-
on she said she had about made up
er mind to let the republicans win
November, but after she attended
the Chicago convention she changed
ner mind.

Query to Representative.
TOKIO, Aug. 6. (By the Associated
Press.) The statement of Representa
tive Albert Johnson at Tacoma.
Wash, August 2. that thousands of
Japanese are Smuggled into the
United States from Japan yearly, is
giving evidences of a tendency to in
crease the feeling with regard to the
United States created by the arrival
of the recent American note and sub
sequent newspaper attacks against
America.
With reference to the statement of
Representative Jol.nson. who is chair
man cf the house committee on immi
gration and naturali-&ation. and has
been recently conducting an inquiry
into the Japanese situation tin the
Pacific coast, the foreign office today
made the following statement:
"We can only express surprise at
the extraordinary statement made by
Congressman Johnson at Tacoma.
Details of the scheme, as outlined by
Mr. Johnson, appear fantastic and
most iirprobable. While solitary cases
of smuggling come to our notice from
time to time, it is unimaginable that
such an involved and intricate pro-
eramme as described by Mr. Johnson
should be systematically practiced by
any group of individuals or organiza
tion.
"The Japanese government would
gladly co-operate with the American
government in exposing any such ille
gitimate and underhanded system. It
is hoped that Mr. Johnson will give
the names of the banks, associations
or individuals concerned. All such
information must be in the hands of
Mr. Johnson, who otherwise would not
have made the statement."
