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.

A picked troop of Boy Scouts
gave an exhibition of their aston
ishing skill at "first aid," and Har

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.

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.

are estimated at 2,700,000 acres, with

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

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.
Matter Up to Kramer,
Otherwise, Major Dalrymple said,
he would continue on to Washing-

He deuied that he intended to
offer his resignation unless the sup
port he had asked for was not

effort to have his Warrant ior Major
Dalrymple's arrest served. He de
clared he was waiting for the ar

Judge Scores Officers
For Searching Saloon
Without Warrant
Philadelphia,' Feb. 25. 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. . .
