MILK WAR ON
Strike Results in Much
Direct Action
Milwaukee. WIb., Feb. 2I.-(IP)-Wisconsin's
milk strike veered to
ward a "milk war" today, with
thousands of Ntrikors picketing high
ways and unsympathetic farmers
and deputies armed with Irur pat
bomb and revolvers clushing with
them, nt a dozen points.
Ominous events of the past few
hours wero:
Pickets dumped milk In seven
counties, forcibly closed cheese fac
tories and poured kerosene over
cheese after beating proprietors.
Thv scope of the strike spread to
rail shipments as 250 pickets nrn
vented the Green Bay and Western
inilroad from picking up o carload
of H.0U0 pounds of skimmed milk.
Non-striking fanners banded into
picket groups to reinforce W0 spe
cial armed deputies.
.Persona fearful of widespread
bloodshed and violence apnealed to
Governor Alitor! C. Schmedeinun for
stale troops.
Added to those disturbing devel
opments was dissension within the
r"ks of the strikers. Hundreds of
dairy nurt gnthered nt Madison for a
meeting called by Waller M. Singler,
dapper young head of the Wisconsin
co-operative milk pool, which is
sponsoring the strike
Thnt meeting wns to determine
whether the strike shall continue on
tho basis of demanding $1.50 per
hundredweight for milk, whether It
shall bo broadened to include higher
prices for all iluirv products, nnd
whether nttempts shall bo made to
extend the strike to other states.
Singler, husky Shioclon fnrmcr
who wears n goatee nnd spnts,
uttered the following wnrnlng re
garding use of tear gns bombs by
denttties:
"They better lay off that stuff.
Two can piny that game. Pickets will
not uso violence if let nlono but no
one will bo ablo to stop them If
treated roughly by officers".

Claude K. Boetteher has received
further notes from the kidnapers
of his son, Charles Boetteher, II, but
has established no other contact with
them as yet, he said today. .
"Since Sunday I have received
many more ransom notes, one of
which, received Monday morning,
I am convinced came from my son's
abductors, although in this letter no
Identification was enclosed and no
method provided for communica

"All of the notes demand sub

whatever that my son would be re

powerless to call off the police and
under present conditions, It would
be absolutely Impossible for me to
go to any designated point- alone
without being followed by police

Authorization to "reduce" pas
senger fares over the new Bie

to San Francisco, granted the
Great Northern railroad and
three oilier lines by the inter
state commerce commission on
Monday, was described as a
"surprise" today by the Great

route.
- "In view of existinr condi

department headquarters hero
said.
The passenger deoartment
falls to understand the deci

INAUGURAL COACH
AWAITS HACKMAN
Legion Commanders Issue
Call For Help
A' call for a coachman a real tcp
nolcher who is qualified to drive a
carriage in a high-class parade
was issued today by the past com
manders of the American Legion in
Bend. Success or failure of the
"grand inaugural ball", scheduled
for the night of March 3, depends
on whether the committee in charge
of the ball can locate a pair of car
ruige horses and a man competent
to drive them.
The carriage has been found, it
was reported at a meeting of the
group last night. It is an ancient
two seated vehicle, with a canopy
and all the trimmings. The commit
tee even has a tcp hat and cape, but
no one to wear them.
Preceding the dance in the Elks
hall on the night of March 3, there
will be an old time torchlight pro
cession down Wall street, starting
at 9 o'clock. Local celebrities, one
plnch-hitting for President Hoover
and the other going in as a substitute
for President-elect Roosevelt, are to
ride in the carriage if a pair of
horses and a coachman can be found.
It would be a sad come-down for
that old carriage to be dragged be
hind an automobile, the committee
declares.
The forgotten man will be in the
parade, too, it developed last night.
Srme .member of the committee re
membered that no arrangements for
transporting the fonotten man had
been made, and hasty eforts to se
cure a white mule for him to ride
were being made today. Unless he is

two political heavyweights saw some
of the cleverest charge throwing ot
the battle so far.
Holman opened the round by
chareine- that Einzic's deoartment
was one cf the worst violators of the
pay-raising racket. He said Einzig
and the board of control had raised
employe's salaries to offset expected
waee cuts ov the legislature.
Einzig back-pedaled around the
ring, admitting he had boosted one
statistician from $123 to $1U so tnat
the cut would leave him $163 a
month.
Holman staggered Einzie with a
flurry of questions. "The taxpayers
demanded salary cuts, not increases,
didn't they?" he shot at him, "you
raised wages didn't you? You kept
the facts hidden! You tried to de
ceive the ways and means commit
tee!
"Didn't you have to transfer
$200 a month accountant because
vou couldn't find anything for him
to do? You had 11 employes in your
department, doing the work Ben
Wing, y?u predecesor, handled with
only assistant."
Finzig countered, "you signed all
the vouchers for them, you should
know how many I employed!"
The treasurer was looking good.
Rcoorters at the ringside were high
ly amused at the exchange. Holman
again bored in, "Governor Meier's
budget was the highest in the history
of the state last year nnd he wants
more this year.
Then Holman unloosed a hay
maker. "Didn't Governor Meier

(Br Ilnllnl Prnral
Washington, Feb. 21. (LP) Sesce
tary of State Stimson today submit
ted the amendment which would re
peal the prohibition law to the 48
sates for ratification or rejection.
The history-maKing action was
taken only 24 hours after the house
had approved the Blaine resolution
creating a new constitutional ami
endment to repeal the 18th amend
ment. The senate passed tho resolu
tion last week. , ',
Stimson signed the 48 letters to
j governors transmitting the amend-'.
...v... ... .u uiiili; miit suae uu-
partment shortly after 1 p. m. today?.
There was no ceremony.
With each letter was enclosed a
copy of the Blaine resolution, certi
fied to be true and correct and bear
ing the great seal of the department,
of state.
To the governors of states within
24 hours mailing time of Washing-"
ton. the amendment was sent by- or
dinary registered mail. To more dis
tant states it was dispatched by air '
mail.
I By his action today, Stimson re
versed Ihe role of former Secretary
Robert Landsing, who in 1918 sub
mitted the 18th amendment, estab
lishing federal prohibition, to the
states. .
The mcve to submit prohibition (o
the nation's voters became an open
race today.
Within a few hours after congress
had sent the Blaine resolution to re
peal the 18th amendment to the
states yesterday legislative action
was begun to set up the necessary
convention machinerv tn wirtplv
j scattered tates.
j In Washington the state repart
;ment worked far into the night to
send to the 4H eovernors official
copies of the Blaine resolution and
the proposed amendment.
From New Ycrk to California and
from Ceoreia to Washington legis
lators rushed to enact laws which
would permit the voters to express
their views on federal prohibition. "
New Yorker Asks Speed
Gcvernor Lehman of Now Yorlo
sent a special message to the legisla-J
lure demanding thst it move swiftly
to set up ratification machinery. He
also asked the state alchocolic bev
erage commission to report quickly
on proposals to cat! a convention.
In the legislature New York dem
ocrats and republicans offered a bill
to call a convention April 18th or
25th. Thus the Fmpire state sought
to wrest trom Wyoming the distinc
tion of being first to ratify!, the
amendment - -
Wyoming has already enacted a
law providing for a convention.
In West Virginia plans were made
to draft the necessary legislation. . i
Georgia became the first state of
the old south to act when a resc
lution tor a state convention was
offered in the house and referred
to committee. Governor Blackwood
of South Carolina said that state's,
legislature would act Tuesday when
it reconvenes.
Eight States Doubtful '
In the remaining eight states of
the old south the outlook was less
happy from an anti-prohibition
viewpoint. A survey by the United
Press indicated that in most of them
conventions wculd be called but the
outcome semed dubious.
Three southern state legislatures
do not meet until next year. They
ure Virginia, Louisiana, and Mississ
ippi. Modification legislation in Ark
ansas, Tennessee, Alabama, and
Georgia has not been successful this
session. . Ihe r loridn legislnture
metts in April. Tennessee's legis
lnture is definitely dry.
(jovernor Ritchie of Maryland
decided to withhold action until the
state department has forwarded him
a copy of the Blaine resoluuon.

A pine tree toppled over by a
southwest wind which reached near
gale proportions practically demol
ished the garage cf Wilard Higgins,
1707 West First street, this morning
shortly after Hijgins, a clerk in the
Bend postoffice, had taken his car
out. The pine struck the rear of
the garage and fell partly across the
