CREEK MINISTRY IS
TIRED OF ITS WORK
Premier Zainnis and Cabinet
Out, Venizelos May Form
New Cabinet

Athens, June 25.-The entire Zaimis
ministry resigned today.
1t was reported that Elutherios Ken
izelos, former premier and president of
the provisional Greek government, now
en- route here, would probably be
named by King Alexander as head of
the new cabinet.
Venizelos is known to have depart
ed from SaloniSa and to have reached
a city in southern Greece en route to
Athens. King Alexander is known to
have great admiration for the prime
minister, whom his father. the former
King Constantine, rejected and whose
advice he refused to follow.
Allied officials here asserted that the
new king could make no more popular
move with his people than to install
Venizelos as the head of the cabinet.
Such move would, it was said, immc-
diately reunite the monarchial and pro-
visional governments. Venizelos was
three times supported in elections by
the Greek people against the former
king, and as many times did Constan-
tine refuse to follow Venizelos poll
cies.

George HOhOf Is
Arrested at Portland

Portland, Ore, June 25.-A man
wearing the yellow slicker given state
convicts when they work in the fields,
stepped up to State Patrol Officer Joe
Keller on the street here. "Can you
tell me the way to the Burnside brides"
the man asked.
Keller recognized George Hohoff, life
termer confessed murderer, who recent
ly escaped. He knew Hohoff had a
gun. Keller was unarmed.
The state officer stepped up close to
the convict "You're not going 10
the Burnside bridge, f" he said 'sCome
with me.''
Keller put his right hand in his coat
pocket and stuck his index finger into
the corner Of his coat, as if he had
gun. Hohoff threw up his hands and
the two paraded several blocks to the
police station, where Hohoff was dis
armed.

Today is cleanup day for the big
drive for the Red Cdoss war fund. A
hundred men are hard at it, fine comb
ing the rural free delivery routes that
run out of Salem, and no reports will
be available until late hour this ev.
ening, when the weary soldiers return
to base with the gold and silver scalps
dangling at their several belts.
Only few scattering reports have
been turned in, although the teams
have been going since Saturday noon,

day yesterday, carrying their lunch and
their suppers with them.
AS typical Of what is being done on
the rural routes, W. NJ. Hamilton and

27 calls, and placed the matter before
"a different persons. AS result Of
their endeavors, they secured 30 sub

$4.50 for an average.
Z. w. Peterson, reporting at head

over $17650, and stated that there

in with a report of $6,515 and Gervais
with $3.50.
The elements became impatient Sat
urday evening, evidently becoming
fearful that Salem would not finish the

good and proper. But the wind which
blew the indicator away, had no in

on the determination Of the campaign

Liquor Question Brings Dis
cord Into Discussion In

CHAMB, AIN THINKS
HOO : BILL WILL PASS
Opponents Bill VIII Fight
Hard" : Teeth viii
Not Be Pulled"
By Robert J. Bender

(unlted Press STAFF correspondent
Washington, June 25. - The Iiquo
question has hurled confusion, dismay
and vast uncertainty into the senat,
fight for food control
just as it appeared that the admins
tration, holding the upper hand witt
the aid of powerful republican support
was to force passage of the bill thi.
weela the '..bone dryv amendlnep,
adopted by the house completely upset
everything today.
Vets - who favored the bill, art
hedging. "Drys" are split ON the ex
tent to which war prohibition should
be inaugurated at this time,
Danger of . filibuster by the liuuoi
contingent in the upper branch was ad-
mitted.
As result of the confusion which
has arisen over Sunday, the senate ag.
rnulture committee postponed its meet
ing today. Obviously this was done in
order to determine what is the extent
of the house action against liquors,
beers and wines
Reaction from the country is await
ed os guidance.
Meantime Senator Chamberlain, in
charge of the food bill. declared today
that the senate would agree to
the house amendments to the bill, in
cluding the ttbone dry section.
Three Factions in Senate
AS result of the house action and
the situation now existing in the sen.
ate the war tax bill being drafted by
the senate finance committee is left
in mid-aii.
Approximately $75,000,000 is levied
under the proposed bill on beers, and
wines, which will have to be furnished
from another source if manufacture of
these is prohibited along with distill-
ed spirits.
Senator Simmons, chairman of the
committee confessed he did not know
just what course would be pursued by
the committee.
" believe the food bill as passed by
the house and. referred by the senate
to the agriculture committee today will
be disposed OF before they report out
the revenue bill, T" he haid.
In that event we will, of cruise,
show what disposition has been made of
the house dry clause. If we are ready
to report before the food bill is passed
however, we will probably report curl
tax bill including the levy on beers and
wines, and then if the house dry bill
amendment is adopted by the senate
we will have to re-commit our bill and
hit upon some other tax to- make up
for that lost /"
There are three factions among the
irys in the scnate-those who favor
only a constitutional amendment for
complete prohibition, stopping both the
sale and manufacture of all intoxieants
those who favor only the curtailment

The taxation representations, entirely

The other representations are direct

Carranza 8 position is known to be
that the oil taxes will furnish consider
able money to run his government, but
the American and British governments
hold that with their large drafts of oil

titled to a greater consideratio than
has thus far been shown them.
The new tax law goes into effect
