An nouncement was made at the state rapitol tonight that North Dakota lignite operators, with the exception of, those at Williston, have agreed to reopen their mines tomorrow and permit them to be operated "in the name of the state" until wane dif ferences of the United Mine Work ers Organization are adjusted. dent appoint a committee on con ciliation for the purpose of ad 'justing differences between pub lishers, in competitve territories.

REGIONAL DRY BUREAU WILL BE STARTED HERE Enforcement of National Pro hibition Headquarters in I.Omaha to Embrace Four ' Or Five States. : The creation of a federal bureau for the enforcement of the national prohibition. laws, and the selection of Omaha 'as, one of nine district headquarters, will mean the addi tion of another important federal department here. The work of enforcing national prohibition in this district has been temporarily in charge of J. J. Gil lin, internal revenue agent. United States Treasury department. "As I view the situation," said Mr. Gillin, "this new bureau will relieve us of the work of enforcing national prohibition. Our jurisdic tion at present covers two states, and it is probable that the new Omaha district, to be created under the- new bureau, will embrace four or five states. An organization will be formed with district headquar ters in nine cities." , The next step will be the an nouncement of the deputy commis sioners, who will be in charge of the nine districts. It is nof known who will be in line for the Omaha district. The establishment of district headquarters. in Omaha will add not less than 200 federal employes to this city. ' Large Force To Be Set Up Washington, Nov. 12. Special machinery for the enforcement of wartime and constitutional pro hibition will be set up by the bureau Of internal revenue Nov. 17, undT the direction of John F. Kramer of Mansfield, O., whose appoint ment as national prohibition com missioner was announced today by Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper. , Besides supervising agents n nine districts into which the country has been divided and a prohibition director in each, Mr. Kramer will have a force which will move about the country. - State and municipal officials will be expected to enforce the pro hibition laws, but where they fail to exercise due diligence, federal agents will act. Officials said that should local officers fail to co-operate the government would not pro ceed against them, but rather let the local electorate take care of the situation.

Both girls were found in the Marks home in Council Bluffs Tuesday night. Judge Rules Wartime ' Prohibition Illegal (Continued From Page One.) wartime prohibition and enforce ment acts that they would take the case under advisement until Satur day. An injunction is asked in both dis tricts to restrain federal officers from interfering with the sale of vhisky. A favorable decision' with out a stay, preventing sale of liquor until an appeal by the government could be decided, would mean im mediate resumption of whisky sales in both districts. Judge Louis Fitzhenry of Bloom ington sat with Judge Carpenter. Attorney Levy Mayer of Chicago, counsel or Woolner & Co. of Pe oria, and Hannah &. Hogg of Chi cago, conducted the attack on pro hibition, while Assistant District At torneys Frederick'Dickinson of Chi cago and C. B. Montgomery op posed the suit. Violate Amendments. The granting of an injunction by Judge Brown in a similar case at Providence, R. I., was reported to Attorney Mayer in a telegram and he made reference to it in his argu ment. He based his arguments on the following points: "That wartime prohibition and the enforcement act violate the tenth amendment by usurping the police powers of the states. "That the enforcement act violates the fifth- amendment by depriving citizens of property without due process of law or just compensation. "That both acts are void because thev were passed to meet an emer gency that had passed, the war being over and President Wilson having vetoed the enforcement act, it was contended, had declared the army demobilized. "Many things were done by con gress during the war which went by unchallenged," said Attorney Mayer. "Such things were conceded to be war measures, but now that day is passed when such justification is ac ceptable. The day of reckoning is here. "The constitution was not sus pended during the war. The powers of the United States to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors lies with congress during the period of the war. But the war is over, congress now has no right to interfere with the police powers of the states." Withdraw-Price Fixing Order. Washington, Nov. 12. Because its artion had been construed as price- fixing the Department of Agriculture Las withdrawn its order warning mrnufacturers of raw fertilizer ma terials that sale of these materials at prices in excess of those prevailing on October 7 would be considered orima facie evidence of profiteering. !

Both factions are plentifully sup plied with money ana are making a determined effort to secure re cruits from rival factions. When Rosie Mitchell and Sonia Evans were taken to county jail yesterday, wearing only thin slippers and no stockings, both factions rushed to supply the needed wearing apparel. Silk stockings and high-priced shoes were soon in evidence. Rosie Mitchell and Sonia Evans are alleged to have compromised Mark's when questioned at the county jail by Department of Justice operatives, and all will be held in jail. According to the Marks family, Mrs. Marks paid $3,300 to' Frank Mitchell and Joe Evans, father and brother of the girls, respectively, a year ago, while all were living in a gypsy camp at Johnstown, Pa. This money, the mother claimsL.was de posited with these men as a bethoth al pledge for her two sons, Frank and Boblesque. to , be held in trust until the children arrived at a mar riageable age, and then to be used for the benefits of the two families. Plot is Discovered. Last March, Marks claims, they discovered a plot to have Rosie disappear with Sonia, and the Marks family forestalled the plot by bringing the girls with them when they moved west. They claim they were holding the girls unti they should be old enough to marry the boys, Frank and Boblesque. The Marks family came to the Bluffs where they established a gypsy camp north of town which was scattered by the police about a month ago. They then moved into the homes which they now occupy. Clifton Hill Improvement Club Elects New Officers The paving of Lake street from Thirtieth street to Forty-first street, and the opening of Burdette street irom Military avenue "to Forty-fifth avenue, were discussed last night at a meeting of the Clifton Hill Im provement club. , The annual election of officers took place.

California passed its nominating right to New York and Stuyvesant-Fish placed the name of Hanford MacNider of Mason City, la., before the conven tion. The Virginia delegation norni nated Leslie Jones of Washington, D. C, and Kentucky names as its cloice Emmett O'Neill of Louisville. Jack 9ullivan of Seattle, who was nominated by the North Dakota del egates, withdrew from the race and so did Chairman Henry D. Linds lev of Dallas, named by the Texas delegation. The vote was: DOlier, 366; MacNider, 249; Jones, 18; O'Neill, 19. D'Olier Issues Statement. Commander D'Olier issued the following statement shortly after h's election: "The American Legion has an t r ormous amount of constructive Vrk before it in the coming year, bnt the spirit of clear thinking, fair play and co-operation, manifested so wonderfully throughout this conven tion leaves no doubt in my mind that we shall be able to accomplish dur ing the coming year just as remark able results for our country as we did in such a comparatively short time in effecting the utter defeat of the enemy. "Every action of this convention was discussed carefully and in every instance the soundest possible judg ment prevailed. There was only one thought of every delegate pres ent and that was to do what was best for this country of ours, for which only so recently we were will ing to give our all." Lindsley Is Honored. The title of past national com mander was conferred upon Mr. Lindsley, who had been acting head of the legion since the St. Louis meeting. Election of the national comman der followed a turbulent afternoon when a mass of resolutions and re ports were considered. The con vention for -a time seemed split on the proposal to indorse' a specific bonus plan and finally voted to place the matter in the hands of the national senate and house of representatives. Representative R. C. Johnson of Aberdeen, S. D., who served in France, supplied the inspiration which decided the bonus issues. Called, to the convention stage late in the day, he urged the delegates to ask congress "to recognize and re lieve the financial disadvantages" incurred by persons who made sacrifices to serve their country. Among the resolutions presented to the convention just before its close was one fixing the salary of the national commander at $6,000 a year. Although Mr. D'Olier, the new national commander, announced rtc would accept neither salary nor expenses, opponents forced the res olution to a vote, but were defeated. Discuss Many Subjects A broad variety of subjects in cludinsr the Centralia tragedy, in- fdustrial unrest and the national Non partisan league, were touched upon. Delegates - from northwest states drew up a resolution assailing the activities of President A. C. Town ley .of the Nonpartisan league, but it was tabled by a vote of the con vention. The request was made by Jack Sullivan of Seattle, chairman of the committees. Shortly before final adjournment of the American legion convention tonight, five vice , chairmen were elected. They are: Allen A. Tukey, Omaha; James O'Brien, San Diego; J. P. Lewis, Long Prairie, Minn; A. R. Cham bers, Winthrop, Mass., and Wm. B. Follett, Eugene, Ore.. Nebraskans Win Hot Fight. Standing on their chairs, shouting at the top of their voices ancl charg ing up and down the aisles, the Ne braska delegation, 40 strong, attend insr the American Legion convention at a night session Wednesday, led a hot fight against an effort to exclude the American Indian from member ship in the American Legion. Led by T. J. McGuire, Omaha, chairman of the delegation, the Cornhuskers finally were able to get the floor. They explained that the clause was a joker, inasmuch as it was meant for foreign-born, but would exclude the Indian as well, and, after a canvas of the entire convention, were able to defeat the particular clause of the eligibility resolution. That the Nebraskans were on the job and could fight in peace as well as in war was clearly demonstrated and their action won the admiration of the entire convention. Another Nebraska delegate, Frank A. Warner, scored a big hit when he succeeded in getting a resolution, adopted at the Nebraska state con vention, concerning universal mili tary training, incorporated In a similar resolution passed in the con vention. ' This resolution recommends such training so long as it is out of the hands and authority of any exclu sively military organization such as the so-called general staff. It passed with little objection: ' The resolution asking congress to take awiy the citizenship and deport Victor P.erger, Milwaukee socialist, passed the convention unanimously. C. C. Henry, Omaha, was instru mental in presenting this resolution. It was decided to open the 1920 convention at Cleveland, O., Sep tember 27. The convention prob ably will last three days. D'Olier a Wool Merchant Philadelphia, Nov. 12. Franklin b'Olier, first national commander of the American Legion, is a wool merchant here. When the United States entered the war he offered his services and was commissioned captain in the quartermaster's corfps.

Two groups of former soldiers, ,nost of them members of the Amer ican Legion, under leadership of Capt Lloyd Dysart, a Centralia war veteran, returned her tonight from Mendota, a coal and logging town near here, where they searched for Industrial Workers believed to have escaped after the shooting yester day. They had in custody P. J. Nolan and another man whose name was not learned. Captain Dysart said the party failed to locate Bert Brand, alleged I W. W., who, according to A. L. Cornier, adjutant of the parade, yes terday fired the shot that killed Grimm. It was thought that Brand fled to Mendota. Haywood Skeptical Chicago, Nov. 12. William D. Haywood, general secretary of the 1. W.' W., said that there ws no record of an I. W. W. branch at Centralia, Wash., where a fatal at tack was made on former soldiers parading on Armistice day. He aaid he thought the acts of violence as cribed to the I. W. W. members were either committed by maniacs or were the result of provocation not yet disclosed.
