4 THE BEE: OMAHA. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1920. WILSON NAMES REPUBLICAN TO LANSING'S JOB Bainbridge Colby, New York Attorney, Appointed New Secretary Of State. Washington, Feb. 2S.-rPresident Wilson attain upset tne expectations of official and, political Washington today by naming Bainbridge Colby, a New York attorney, who left the republican party with Theodore Roosevelt in 1912, as secretary of state. The selection caused scarcely less Of a sensation than the dismissal of Robert Lansing from the state pbrt folio two weeks ago, and was re ceived with such undisguised sur prise in the senate, where the presi dent's choice-must be approved be fore Mr. Colby can take tip the duties, of office, that none of the leaders cared to predict when con firmation might be voted. Selection Unexpected. Not even among those on the in side of administration circles had there been any expectation that the selection would fall on Mr. Colby, v who told inquirers today that he himself had been given only a brief notice of the president's intention. Summoned to the White House, he spent an hour with Mr. Wilson, an nounced that he would accept with a deep appreciation the responsibil ity imposed upon him and said he would have no further comment to make, until the senate had acted. Once before the senate had been called upon to act on a nomination of Mr. Colby, and then confirmation was voted, although a strong fight against him was led by the two re publican senators from his state. That was in 1917, when President Wilson named him to membership on the shipping board. It was as serted in some quarters that the rea sons which led to objection at that ' time need not necessarily apply in the present case, but Senator Cal- der of New York said he would in sist that the nominee's qualifications for the secretaryship be looked into carefully before he would vote for confirmation to that position. . Engaged in Law Practice. A. native of St Louis, 51 years old, Mr. Colby has been engaged in law practice in New York since 1892, except for the 19 months he was ft shipping board member. Dur ing the latter service he was an American repjesentative in the inter-allied shipping conference at Paris and was active in directing the board's war policy. He resigned in March of last year, saying , that the critical war period having passed, he preferred to return to private life. In bis New York practice, he has been - counsel for several interests investigating life insurance com panies and was associated with Charles Evans Hughes in th re form of the Equitable Co. He served jn 1901 and 1902 as a mem ber of the New York assembly. , Actively supporting Theodore Roosevelt for the republican presi dential nomination in 1912, Mr. Col by was placed' in charge of the claims of the contested Roosevelt delegates from various states who eventually were denie"d convention seats. He then became a delegate from New York to ihe first con vention of the progressive party in 1914, and 1916 he was the progres sive candidate' from New York. In the 1916 campaign however, he sup ported actively the campaign of President Wilson for re-election. Rotary Clubs of Two Cities Job in Meeting , .

Prize Drawing Success. President Goodrich welcomed the Council Bluffs Rotarians and Presi dent William Coppock of the Coun cil Bluffs club responded. A nrize drawing was held, which, by a marvelous financial plan, ac tually yielded $50 in cash, which was presented to the Near East re lief fund. Mr. Perkins' address was on the "Rotary Code of Ethics.' He was one of the authors of this famous code. . "No individual or nation is great because of a motto, but because of the things which grow out of the practfee of a motto or code of eth icsv' he said. "And at no time in the history has there been such a crying need of practice of a lofty, an ideal code as at the present time when society is in a state of flux and conditions threaten to over whelm civilization. Federal Judge Speaks. "Svmnathv. service and unselfish ness in business and professional life arc parts of the Rotary code. These are greater than mere money-mak-insr. Profit is not money. It is a conscience. Profit consists of the good yon can do your fellow man. "The kings who carved their names on granite and builded great cities in the valley of the Euphrates are forgotten. The granite shafts that" bore the record of their( deeds lie in the dust The cities which they reared in the fond belief that they would bear eternal witness to their might are buried under the dirt of the centuries.: These kings built upott selfishness. They sought to perpetuate their own greatness at the expense of others." United States Judge Martin Wade of Iowa also spoke. .' 1 i . .

Washington, Feb. 2o. -President Wilson -today signed the oil land leasing bill, which ortens up for de velopment millions of acres of land in the west. ' The total area of oil lands thrown ODen for lease under tire bill is esti mated by geological survey at more than 6,700,000 acres, while proven coal lands under government witW drawal total approximately 30,000. 000 acres, with 39,000,000 acres still to be classified Phosohate lands are estimated at 2,700,000 acres, with sodium and other mineral deposits equally as extensive utiuornia. . with l.ioy.uu acres or withdrawn oil and gas lands and Wyoming with 1,151,629 acres lead the other states in the extent and richness of their" oil deposits. Of the six additional states containing government oil lands made available to lease under the bill, Louisiana with 467,000 acres and Arizona with 230,400 acres are considered to have the most valuable deposits. Liquid "Ore" Dug Up When Officers Leave , (Continued From First Page.) home for liquor the county officers would "arrest every man in your party and put them in jail." The prohibition director already had' received orders from Mr. Kra mer at Washington calling off the "armed-invasion" and as a result no arrests were made. Denies Wihe Returned. VReports that I took the 11 barrels of wine from Leo J. Grove, federal prohibition supervisor for northern Michigan, and the state po lice and returned it to the Italians from whom it was taken are abso lutely false," McDonough declared today.' , "I confiscated this wine when I found it in the (possession of Grove. I placed my own 'men in charge of it and put the barrels in a safe place." Major Dalrymple found nine bar rels of the wine in the basement of the home of the parish priest today and destroyed the liquor after tak ing samples from each barrel for evidence. McDonough explained that the basement of the parish house was the only one fh Iron Rivr with a secure -lock and therefore was bor rowed as a storage place for the wine, "Ridiculous Action." "Dalrymple's action in destroying the liquor, which' he needed for evi dence, was ridiculous," iMcDonough declared. "It gave the major a fine opportunity to pose before the movie cameras while he knocked in the barrel heads. But that is the only thing I see he gained by the per formance." ( Major Dalrymple in a statement tonight declared he was enforcing the law in accordance with the di rections of the chief and of Attorney I of Washington officials to back him up was a serious blow to the prohibition agents in his district. Prompt and vigorous measures were necessary to show -these men that the law must be obeyed," he said. "I failed to receive the co operation I If ad. a right to expect from the district attorney at Grand Rapids." Dig Up Buried Goods. x Iron River miners worked far i uiw me iwgni jionignr at tneir into the night tonight at their usual occupation. The "ore" they brought to the surface, however,, was liquor buried two days ago when word Of Major Dalrymple's contemplated "armed invasion" first reached the community. "We "took our scupplies out in the woods and buried them," citizens laughingly admitted, "and tonight after Major Dalrymple has left, they will be dug up again." Iron River was quiet tonight after one of the most hectic days in its history. The federal officers left for Chicago at 6:30 p. m., but few persons were at the station to see them off. 1 Major Dalrymple announced be fore leaving that he would return with Mr. Gaylord if he learned the assistant prosecution commissioner already was enroute to IronRiver.

The first setback in the enforcement of na tional prohibition in this district under the Volstead act,. came when Judge J. Whitaker Thompson, in the United States district court, re fused to grant an injunction to re strain a local saloonkeeper from "maintaining and conducting a public and common nuisance." Atthe same time Judge Thompson rebuked the federal prohibition enforcement of ficers for searching the saloon with out a warrant after it had been ad mitted "by Assistant United States District Attorney Achey that such action had been taken and thattthe agents had driven patrons from the place at the point of a pistol. "I never heard of such autocratic authority exercised jby federal of ficers before," said 'judge Thomp son, "and it will not be tolerated by this court." Mr. Achey explained that the agents were endeavoring to "try out" the point .whether , tljey could make arrests under the act Without warrants. - - No Effect of Lifting Grain Restriction Felt In Omaha ' No effect of the removal of the Penrose restriction that prevented grain men from carrying more than 200,000 bushels of corn was noticeable on the Omaha market yesterday, ac cording to local grain dealers,, and may. not be for some time to come. The corn market was strong yester day and dealings brisk, but the bet ter cash market was responsible for this, grain men said. According to dealers, the effect of the restriction has been to hold the price of corn down, and its removal should steady the prices, and possibly cause an in crease. . .
