MONTEREY,. Calif., June 20. Fir
teen automobiles loaded with liquor
and eight men in charge were captured
by revenue officers near Point Louos
early today after a fight in which
about 100 shots .were fired. None of
the revenue men was injured. The
captured men are being taken to Sau
Francisco.
. The liquor was landed at Point
Lobos from a small steamer which has
bcenft hovering off the coast during
the night. The steamer put out to sea
Immediately after landing her cargo.
The eight men captured were drivers.
The rest escaped in the darkness. It
is not known whether any of them
were wounded.
In addition to the cars, two trucks
were seized, one of them containing
200 cases of liquor. .
SAN FRANCISCO, June 20. The
big liquor seizure at Monterey today
marked the climax of a plot to unload
two liquor laden ships from Vancou
ver, B. C, at obscure California points,
S. F. Rutter, federal jirohlbition direc
tor for California, said in a statement.
"The vessels left Vancouver a few
days ago, one loaded with 2000 cases
and the other -with 1500 cases of whis
key," Rutter said. "Sunday night a
steamer which I have every reason to
believe was one of . the Vancouver
boats stopped off the port of Monterey.
We had beea tipped off to watch for
her. Throughout Sunday night she
sent small boats ashore, working in
great silence and secrecy and with
such1 great caution that It was some
time before we could learn that the
small boats were loaded with whiskey.
"Last night we were prepared, a
force of eight men from this office,
reinforced by a sheriff's posse from
Monterey county, being placed on
guard. They waited for the small
boats to appear and load their cargoes
on to the automobiles. Figuring that
it was a bigger job than they had orig
inally contemplated they telephoned to
mo for more men. I rushed three more
to Monterey. The officers closed in on
the supposed smugglers under cover of
night and the seizure followed."

If it keeps me out for life."
After further words had passed be
tween them, the umpire threw down
his mask and started toward Ruth
when 'Manager Speaker and First Base
man Mclnnis Interfered.
CHICAGO, June 20. Ban Johnson
said he also would fine Kuth.
"My roiiorts show that Ruth used
vulgar and vicious language, calling
Umpire Dinrfcn one of the vilest names
known. . 1 will not stand for action of
that kind from any player."
Mr. Johnson insisted that he expect
ed to deal with a firm hand with any
player who acted "in a manner unbe
coming a gentleman."

frustrated by the police guards.
DUBLIN, June 20. (By the As
sociated Press) Officials engaged in
counting the returns from Friday's
parlianientry elections completed
Dublin county today.
Results thus far show that twenty
pro-treaty members of the Sinn Fein
Panel, four independents favoring
tile treaty, Bix lnborites and fivo
anti-treaty panol designates, wore
successful.
Of tho 18 labor candidates, six
have already been returned.
Dublin city voted heavily ngalust
the treaty opponents. Before tho
election its 12 seats in the Dail were
held by 7 treaty advocates and flvo
by antis. The results leave the seven
treaties, but transfer four of the op
position seats to independent candi
dates, nil of whom favor the treaty,
and one of whem is a laborite.
The only adherent of Eamon De
Valera to come through safely Is
Sean O'Caellaigh (John o'Kolly) for
mer Sinn Fein representative in
Paris.
The defeat of Mrs. Tom Clnrk and
Countess Marklevicz caused Surprise.
Joseph McOraw just managed to do
feat his independent labor opponents.
Linm Mellowes. participant in tho
Easter week fighting, who escaped
to America and later became tho
leader of the uncompromising repub
licans in the Dail, was defeated in a
provincial district. Mellowes has
been the moving spirit with Rory
O'Connor in the dissentient section
of tho Irish republican army. His
failure to secure re-eloctlon may leave
him in a more powerful position out
side tho new parliament than he held
in the Dail Eireann.
In Dublin county Darrcll Figgis
heads tho poll by a big majority nnd
Tom Johnson, tho lnborite, is also a
certain winner.
DUBLIN, June 20. (By the Asso

for the republican panel nominees.
BELFAST, June 20. Incendiaries

Final Rush Brings Out

In one of the largest attended and ,
closest elecllons ever held in tho Med

was on Monday elected a member of
tho board of education by a majority
of 45 votes over Dr., Robert W.
Stearns. Tho winner's vote was 404,
and 359 votes wero cast for tho los
ing candidate. One voter gave .A. E.
Reamcs a complimentary vote and
two blank ballots were cast. In all,
706 votes wero cast. 1
Thl record was oxcolled only In
local school district history by tho
much famed recall election of two
years ngo when H. C. Garnott and B.
J. Palmer were recalled, and J. O.
Grey nnd Georgo A. Mansfield elect
ed In their places, nnd at tho same
tlmo Dr. B. O. Riddcll and J. W. .
Wakefield were defeated by Mes
dames Janes and Smytho. At this I
election 907 votes wore cast. At laatl
yoar's annual Brhool election of tho t
district only 107 votes wore cast,
which was near tho normal voto cast '
at such elections In bygone years.
Tho surprisingly large vote cast .at
Monday's election was totally unex
pected by the general public, as there
seemed to bo little interest in tho ap
proaching election. No big Issue wns
knowingly Involved, no outward cam
paign was conducted by either can
didate or his friends, and each can
didate was regnrded as well equipped
for membership on the board and
was well known.
But during tho dny yesterday the
school patrons nnd, (ither vliters
seemed to wake up and there was a
general scurry to tho polls in tho high
school building, which wero open
from 2 to 7 p. m., and from the
time tho voting bognn until the doors
wero closed nt 7 o'clock there was a
large string of voters passing tile bal
lot boxes. When the doors were
closed at least fifty men and women
were standing In lino inside the build
ing waiting for their turn to vote.
The voting was exceptionally heavy
between 6 and 7 p. m., when It Is snld
from 200 to 300 ballots were de
posited. The remark was often heard ex
pressed by voters in line ns they
watched the crowd going and com
ing; "Wouldn't it bo fine if Medford
people always took such an interest
in education?"
These poor deluded mortals were
not posted on the inside doings of
tho campaign, especially the last few
hours of it. A reporter from this
paper noticed at least several voters
waiting their turn who would not
know an education If they snw one

SCHOOL DIRECTOR
PROPOGANDA
OF HENRY IS
UNDER FIRE
House Report to Tell People
Real Facts Muscle Shoals
Offer Rosy Promises to
- Farmer and Idle Are Hol
low First Cost and Offer
Price Too Far Apart.
WASHINGTON, June 20. Honry
Ford's offer to purchase and lease the
government's power and nitrate pro
jects at Muscle Shoals, Alabama, was
attacked today in a report to the house
prepared by Representative Keans,
republican, Ohio, and signed by sev
eral other republicans of tho house
military committee. The report de
clared dissatisfaction with opinions al
ready presented to the house by other
members of tho commission and an
nounced that the signers were deter
mined to tell the people the "real facts
about Muscle Shoals and the socalled
Ford offer."
Declaring the belief, "that the coun
try little understands what it is that
Mr. Ford is offering to do, or what, if
anything, he is offering for this great
plant," the signatories first denounco
what they describe as "one of tho most
insidious propogandas that tho nation
has witnessed for many a day."
Many of the Ford ndvocates, the re
port says, are honest and conscientious
but have been miBlcd as to the facts
of the offer made. In this connection,
it points to the provision by which fer
tilizers would be manufactured and say
that despite "persistent reports that
he will compel tho fertilizer manufac
turers of the country to sell their pro
duct at. one-half of what they, are now
soiling It" Mr. Ford "does not 'agree to
make fertilizers at all unless ho can
make them with a profit to himself."
Tho committeemen declare "this is a
hollow promise made to enlist the sup
port of the farmers and not founded on
any fact, either contained in the con
tract or existing outsido tho contract" .
and charge that propogandlsts fall to
tell tho people that "the principal busi
ness of Mr. Ford, should he get this
gigantic plant, would be the manufac
turing of other articles which he would
be allowed to sell at any price he
might see fit."
Propogandlsts also have attracted
the unemployed, the report says, add
ing that they "do not only try to thus
bribe the sympathy of the farmer, but
try thus to elicit the attention of tho
unemployed by painting a rosy picture
of the great activity that Is to be start
ed overnight at MubcIo Shoals, whoro
they promise a million men will be
given employment.
The properties for which Mr. Ford
offo'rB the amount of J5.000.000, the re
port says, already have cost the gov
ernment $85,487,900. It declares the
amount offered, "seems wholly inade
quate when it is remembered that Mr.
tord could immediately dispose of tho
Gorgas plan to th Alabama power com
pany for $2,500,000" and thereby ob
tain "the Waco quarry, nitrate plants
number 1 and number 2 with all their
inumerable railroad engines and
freight cars, steam shovels, concrete
mixers and other surplus property
that could be readily sold for several
additional millions."
