 In each instance the trunks were re- ceived here addressed fictitiously. The one captured Friday night. which ar rived here on the l2th, was consigned to house on Cerfral avenue. just over the bridge Inquiry developed that no party with the alleged consignee's S name lived there. When George admitted. however, that Driskill had given him the receipt officials said they believed that the ex-deputy sheriff was the real eonsisnee. The issuance of the warrant followed without delay.
 Under Reed Amendment
 Criticism was heard yesterday that the bond under which Driskiu is at liberty was insufficient. in view of the oftense alleged to have been commit ted. Commissioner Henke is said to have been informed Saturday after noon that the arrest of Driskill was more important than the mere con- flscation of the l0-gallon tank oe Whiskey; that much rumor had been spread abroad regarding the sale of conilscated liquors by deputy sheriffs on Wilkey's staff: and that the sale of illegal liquors continued through form CT deputy sheriffs. even after they were out of office.
 The present case is being brought under the authority of the Reed amend : ment. which prohibits the importation or liquor into any dry state in the united States. This law was recently upheld by the United States supreme court, when man entered the state of west Virginia, carrying upon his person bottle of whiskey. When ar rested this man maintained that he nad brought 1t into the state with him TOT ms personal use The supreme court helu' however. that that was not n proper defense and that the Reed amendment was sufficient to nrevent lne bringing of any liquor into a dry state Tor any purpose.
 Because of the widespread belief tba tnere does exist a systematic scheme or breaking the dry laws of thS state and the nation, which has involved tbe names Of former deputy sheriffs or more than one occasion, John H Ias,o- ston, assistant United States attorne,- states that Driskill will be prosecnted to the full extent of the law if in dlcted, and there is sufficient eyidenc, to convict.

 The physician who is attending Sir Wilfred issued a bulletin tonight stat ing that his patient is in mo immediate danger
 q don't think there is at present any cause for grave anxiety, but as Sir Wilfred's age, such an attack must necessarily give regard to concern, . said the physician.
 Later tonight, the former premier's condition was reported worse" He has been extremely busy of late preparing for the session of parliament which opens Thursday. He was also engaged in organizing the Ontario liberal con- yentions.

 RESUME WEDNESDAY

SEATTLE. Wash, Feb 16.-Seattle's shipyards will resume operations next Wednesday, after having been idle since 25,000 metal trades workers walked out on January 21, on a strike for a higher wage scale. Announce ment to this effect was formally issued tonight by the shipyard owners. The workers will be employed at the same rate of pay as existed January 21.

Men return ing to work will have to be re-em- ployed. the shipyard owners holding that they forfeited their positions when they went out on strike, and this employment will be carried out un- der the federal order of February F, which terminated the employment of men through the regular United States employment bureau. srhe formal an- nouncement, signed bf the six leading shipbuilding firms. was as follows:
 Because of the notice served by the shipbuilders to the government en- ployment agency, under date of F'ebru- ary F, that they would employ their men at the yard gates, it has been Der sistently stated that this has been a declaration on the part of the employ CTS for the open shop. This We en- phatcally deny, and wish to advise our employees, as well as the public that the steel ship builders intend tc abide by the agreement between the government of the Unitd States and the international presidents of the unions, as expressed by the president of the United States.
 "The shipyards will resume opera tions Wednesday morning at the ratt of wages in effect when they ceased operations, January 21."

HOOVER DEMANDS
 CATTLE BE REPLACED
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One) palling. The preparation of plans, of projects, of means of material, by which reconstruction can be consti- tuted on an enduring basis, take time for development. It requires the as- sembling of vast finances and material and no people will accomplish it with the thoroughness of the French.
 Should Return Cattle
 This ultimate result is vital, but in the meantime the population must have every care. The Anglo Saxon mind naturally tends to a solution of the problems of the day, and if I am all lowed to make one suggestion, it is that there is need of more Anglo Saxon adaptability to the temporary measures projected for northern France today, and during the next months. There is a depth of human misery that requires human energy day by day in temporary shelter and medical attention as well as food.
 "One of the first acts of the Ger mans was to denude- the people of Belgium, to a very large extent, and the north of France almost wholly. of their cattle. In consequence it has been necessary to maintain a stream of condensed milk and other food, espe- cially for children, for the whole of the last four years. The European races are absolutely dependant for the rearing of their young on their cat tie. There is no cruelty to the popu- lation greater than to rob them of their dairy stock. Nor can the herd be re- stored oyer night
 If there is one reparation which Ne Germans should be compelled to makl above all others, it is that they should be required to return in actual cattle the necessary herds in northern France and Belgium. It is not suffi- cient that they should pay for the cat tie they have taken. Children cannot be nursed on money"

 NEARING AGREEMENT.

WARSAW, Feb. Is (By the Asso- ciated Press) ).-The peace conference delegation in Vienna will send 8 dele gation to Lember Monday, in an at tempt to effect an armistice with the forces besieging that city. One of the difficulties to arranging an armistice is that the Ruthenian leaders have litt tie power over their followers. The sit uation in Lemberg is very bad, with women and boys continuing to fight side by side with number of exhaust eed and ill-equipped Polish regulars.
 Allied officers who visited the city recently said they saw wounded women being taken into the hospitals. The Ruthenians. it is asserted, do not want to surrender the oil wells south of Lemberg and desire the territory up to the Han river. as far as PrZyemysl.
 VIENNA, Saturday, Feb. 15 (By As sociated Press) Wireless dispatches received by the local Ukraine commit tee rom kiev, indicate that the fight ing is being pushed about Lemberg. with the Ckrainans claiming gains in an attempt to cut off the railway lines Of the Poles into the city. The armis- ticc commission. sent to Warsaw, has returned to Kiev with such assurances from the Poles that new mission headed by Stepniky will be sent to Warsaw in the hope of concluding peace.
 Stepniky will be accompanied by nu- merous representatives of the Ukraine government It is also stated that Ukrainia has informed Rumania that Ukrainia is willing to discontinue the border warfare in Bessarabia, and for get past unfortunate incidents, if an amicable arrangement can be made of the boundaries.
 A radio dispatch from Tiflis says the Georgia republic in the Caucasus has 1 arranged to return to their homes Turkish prisoners and also refugees
