Minneapolis, Aug. 4.--James Hogan,
leader Of an alleged gang Of counter
feiters, Is dead and Paul Gottfried, st.
Paul police detective, is in a hospital
with four bullet wounds in his body
as the result Of raid made on the
Hogan home in the outskirts Of Min
neapolis. For several weeks large
number Of counterfeit silver dollars
have been placed in circulation in st.
Paul and Minneapolis. Government
officials working on the case obtained
information which led to the belief
that Hogan was connected with the
gang and Walter Rowan, federal
secret service man, accompanied by
two st. Paul police detectives, went to
Hogan's home to question him.
According to police, the detectives
and secret service men rang the door
bell and were met with shower Of
bullets. Leaving one man at the front
door, Gottfried and another man went
to the rear of the house and gained
entrance. In attempting to disarm
James Hogan, Gottfried was shot by
Harry Hogan, son. In the fight
which followed, the elder Hogan was
killed, and the son escaped.

Opinion as Attorney Tor
{. Brewers.
0. K. AFTER JAN ] is S
Until Constitutional Prohibition ls In
Force, Brewers Representative '
:. Claims Pending Law Are N,
Invalid.

Washington, Aug. IA. The wartime
prohibition enforcement bill recently
passed by the house and now pending
before senate committee, is uncon-
stitutional, according to an opinion by
Elihu Root, William D. Guthrie and
VIM. L. Marbury, counsel for the
United States Brewers association,
made public Saturday.
Not Good Before January 16.
This opinion holds that until the
eighteenth amendment becomes effec-
tive on January 18, 1920. congress,
under well settled rules Of constitu-
tional law, "has no express power to
prohibit the manufacture and sale Of
beer, whether or not intoxicating
There is now no valid reason for the
wartime prohibition act, the lawyers
declare, and there Is no evidence, they
add, to support the claim that the pro-
posed enforcement measure is neces-
sary or proper to conserve the nations
food supply. y. III, Sd 4
The opinion holds that the decision
would not apply to pending legislation.

TRIP TO ITALY
Secretary of Navy Will Visit
Italian Fleet and Naval
Bases

Paris, April 2.-Josephus Daniels,
the American Secretary of the Navy.
left Paris yesterday for Italy, where
ne VIII visit the Italian fleet and ma
val bases.
Prior to his departure Mr.. Daniels
expressed his pleasure at the admir-
able work of the American navy in
taking over German ships and the
expeditions manner in which these
vessels have been made available for
the transportation of troops back to
the United States.
These ships" said Mr.. Daniels,
vary in tonnage, from $4,000 to "a
600 and as at present equipped they
can accommodate in the aggregate
about $4,000 men. After the first trip
to the United States they will be
adapted to accommodate about twice
that number of soldiers.
The ships will be pu into the reg
ular service. Three of them already
are in French ports and others are
expected within the next few DAYS.
The ships We're taken from Hamburg
by German crews to Spithead, Eng
land, where within twnety- four
hours they were taken over by the
American navy. The German crews
were returned home in one of their
own ships. The vessels, manned by
Americans, were Immediately pre-
pared for the repatriation of Amer
can soldiers.

AGREEMENT ON
FRENCH FRONTIER
IS NOW HOPEFUL
District Progress Made Yes
terday Regarding the.
Sarre Valley

Paris. April 2.-It is stated au-
thoritatively to-day after the meet
ings yesterday between President
Wilson and the premiers that the
prospects for an accord were more
hopeful.
Distinct progress was made at the
morning and afternoon sessions, par
ticularly regarding the Sarre Ealley.
The indications are that the French
will get coal from the Sarre valley
which will be charged against their
share in the reparations There was
aome discussion of the advisaoility
of leaving the eventual disposition OF
the Sarre Valley to plebiscite.
First Plan Failed
The first plan was to give France
economic control of the Sarre coal
fields so as to offset damage to the
coal mines of Northern France.
France was not to have political
control over the large German pop
ulation in the Sarre Valley which
would remain with Germany. This
proved Objectionable and one OF the
chief causes of the Council of Fours
inaction. The main objection was the
divided control. by which France
would be unable to operate the mines
effectively, prevent strikes and en-
force authority when the Germans
were exercising political control.
The new plan, therefore, seeks to
combine French economic and polit-
ical authority for temporary period
until the productive capacity of the
mines in Northern France is restor-
ed. industrial production revived and
the prostration due to the war end
ed. IT is estimated that five years
will he required to restore the mines
to normal.
The fact that the control would be
temporary would overcome the OBJ
tections Of annexation similar to the
German annexation of Alsace and
Lorraine in 1870.
The proposal was first advanced as
concerning the Sarre region only.
hut it is regarded now as equally ap-
plicable to the left bank of the
Rhine as a possible basis of agree
ment.
Preparations Up Again
A new phase of the question Of
reparations is also being presented
in the proposal to avoid stating in
the treaty any specific total. and
thus escape controversy over the
largeness or smallness of the
amount. It is said that this is pos
