Chicago, April 25. With the
time limit for the surrender of 47
Industrial Workers of the Worla
convicted for obstructing the war
draft expiring at midnight to
night, department of justice offi
cials today were preparing to take
immediate steps to round up any

Famous Cripple Dead
St. Paul, Minn., April 25.
Michael J. Downing, banker of
Olivia, Minn., famed for his suc
cess In life after losing both legs,
an arm and part of his remaining
hand in his youth, died at a hos
pital here today. He was 55 years
old.
A complaint charging H. Gan
non, then an operative of the Anti
Saloon League of Oregon, with be
ing drunk and disorderly, was
signed this afternoon by Chief of
Police Moffitt at request of J. H.
Lauterman, manager of the Argo
hotel, who claims that Gannon, In
ebriated to such an extent that he
was irresponsible, created a dis
turbance in his hotel on April 8.
Mr. Lauterman explained to
Chief of Police Moffitt this morn
ing that he determined to ask for
the complaint only after he had
failed to get any response to verbal
complaint made to Ronald C. Glov
er," chairman of the "steering com
ever, according to the story, ar
nored him."
Gannon, police say, was found
lying prone on his. back, amusing
himself by pounding his hefts on
the floor when they found him in
the Argo on April 8. At first he
was not arrested, but was taken
into custody about two hours later
when he was found on a down
town street. At the police station
the Anti-Saloon man was finally
released on his own recognizance
by Desk Sergeant Davis, who says
that Gannon promised faithful I w
to return to the police station on
the folowiing afternoon. The Anti
Saloon League operative, officers
state, has not been in the setatlon
since.
"I withheld action In order te
give Gannon an opportunity to
keep his word, at least after a
fashion," Chief Moffitt stated
this afternoon. "This he has fail
ed to do."
Brought Into the police station
between two officers on the night
ot April 8, Gannon explained to
Desk Sergeant Davis that he was
an "Anti-Saloon League repre
sentative," and displayed his cre
dentials, said to have been signed
by F. W. Snyder, special agent. In
charge of anti-saloon league work
"I'm a 'cover-up' man," Davie
says Gannon told him.
"You're some 'cover-up' man
you are," Davis answered.
According to Sergeant Davis,
Gannon himself to'i how, on the
evening of April 8, he had failed to
mak a "buy" from a bootlegger be
cause of his drunkenness. The
bootlegger, according to the story
told Davis by Gannon, was sup
posed to deliver 20 quarts nl
"booze" to the Anti-Saloon man.
The prospective law-breaker, how
ever, acoordingt o tha story, ar
rived while the two Salem police
men were attending the inert
Anti-Saloon man.
"Hell I know who you are
now," the booze salesman is said
to have remarked to Gannon. He
then departed.
Mr. Lauterman, manager of the
Argo, explained to Chief Moffitt
this morning that, having failed
to get any response from Mr.
Glover, he intended to take the
matter up with Governor Olcott.
Mr. Lauterman was dissuaded,
however, when Chief Moffitt of
fered to have the complaint out
this afternoon.
Mr. Lauterman told Chief Mof
fitt that Gannon had been drunk
about the hotel for two or three
days, but said that Gannon's act
ions had not been unbearable up
to the night of April 8.
It is understood that Gannon
recently has been dismissed from
the anti-saloon league service.

Attempts Made
To Locate Iron
States Dcdson
That there are three attempts
being made by eastern capital to
locate iron in the Willamette and
Columbia river valleys and that its
discovery means a great industrial
development for the state, was the
statement ot W. D. B. Dodson,
manager of the Portland Chamber
of Commerce, in a speech made be
fore Salem business men at their
luncheon in the Commercial club
this noon.
Mr. Dodson stated that in an in
terview with Henry Ford In an at
tempt to get the location of a trac
tor plant for Oregon, the automo
bile magnate had expressed his ad
miration for the ideal climatic
conditions favorable to the work
ingman, and that the only draw
back to the establishment of such
a plant in Oregon was the lack of
iron.
Port development was also dis
cused by Mr. Dodson, who stated
that within the next five or six
years Portland, with the wonder
ful resources of the Willamette
valley and kindred sections behind
her, would develop into the largest
and most important seaport on the
Pacific coast. He further suited
that lumber had now become the
"back bone" cargo of the steam
ships sailing to all parts of the
worlc, that no other western sec
tion had a like commodity to offer
steamship companies in the way of
freight.

delay in the transmission from Berlin of the German counter

May Limit
Prescriptions
Arbitirily
Washington, April 25. An ar
bitrary limit of 4 gallons of beei
and three gallons of wine as the
maximum a physician may pro
scribe at any one time has been set
in new prohibition regulations
which await the approval ot David
H. Blair the newcomer ot internal
revenue.
In making this announcement.
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer
said that while under Attorney
General Palmer's recent opinion
the amount of beer or wine pre
scribed by a physician over a given
period could not be limited it was
believed that the amount of indi
vidual prescriptions could be lim
ited to a reasonable maximum.
It would not be practicable, he
said, to require a patient for whom
two or three bottles ot beer a day
might be prescribed, to obtain a
prescription for each day.
Issuance of beer and wine regu
lation Mr. Kramer emphasised,
will depend entirely upon the de
cision ot the new internal revenue
commissioner.

Tbe offer, it Is indicated. In
clines more toward the terms for
mulated by the allies at the Paris
conference last winter than to
ward the offer made by Germany
at the London conference, which
the allies summarily rejected.
The allies, under the decision
reached at Paris in January, de
manded that Germany pay 226,
000,000,000 gold marks, or ap
proximately $56,600,000,000, tha
payments to be spread over a per
iod of 42 years. Germany's ex
ports, in addition, would bear an
export duty of 12 per cent.to go to
the allies for an Identical period.
Compromise Held liberal.
London, April 25. Official ad
vices from Berlin declare Germany
has offered a "liberal compromise"
between the allied reparation de
mands and tbe German counter
proposals of March.
The German government was to
submit the text of Its note to the
foreign relations committee of tha
relchstag today and later perhaps
demand a vote of confidence.
Discussing the situation editor
ially today, the Morning Post re
joiced in the failure of what It
called "Germany's intrigue te get
the United States committed to
its viewpoint on the Ruhr ques
tion." "President Harding-is too good
an American to embro'.l himself In
the European situation," the
newspaper continued.
