'BLANTON REFUSED
RECOGNITION
President Will Present
Recommendation for
Solution of Problem.

WASHINGTON, August 8.-(By
Associated Press. President will
address a point session of congress
this afternoon at 4:00 o'clock to sub
nit suggestions for lowering the cost
of living through legislative action.
The recommendation will be based
on information secured by the presi-
dent personally and by committee
appointed several days ago by At
torney General Palmer following a
meeting of cabinet members to dis
cuss the crisis brought about by the
continued ascendancy by the prices
of food and other necesaries of life.
The address is expected to deal
with all elements that have entered
into creation of the condition in
which the country today finds itself
and which include labor problems
and strikes resulting form them and
production which would be interfer-
ed with by strikes, The present rail
road wage situation is expected to
be discussed only as an incident, it
IS said.
1t is expected no recommendation
will be made for licensing system
for producers. manufacturers or deal
ers nor for law limiting the mar
gin of profit on commodities. How
ever, the president is expected to
ask for an extension of the Lever
food control bill so that it can be
made applicable as peace time
measure to shoes, clothing and other
necessities as well as food.
The message { said to be lengthy
one, was completed last night after
it had bean revised in some detail
to meet the suggestions Of cabinet
members who were called into con-
ference by Mr. Wilson late yester-
day. &W

"This last demand can not be

amid the applause of the SO or so
men and women gathered around the
dinner table.

OLD LOCAL INSTITUTION
CHANGES MANAGEMENT

Last week Fred Behnke and John n
Weddendorf closed deal whereby thew
became the joint owners of the we'll
known Bentzin Mill on the big Cotton
wood River. The purchase included
not only the milling property but the
TWO residence properties in close proximi-
ty to the mill. Mr. Weddendorf is
not going to be actively interested in
the milling proposition but he will be
represented by his son Arno, who with
Mr.. Behnke, will look after the bust
ness and also the mechanical end.
Mr.. Behnkes going back to the milling
business will be like going back to his
first love, because 81 years ago he was
employed in the Empire Mill and had
worked himself up to second miller
under Otto Pless who was then first
miller of the institution. It will be
several months before the mill will be
started under the new management be-
cause it will be necessary to make re-
pairs and put up new chimney. The
new firm will be known as the Cotton
wood Roller Mill Company.
The mill purchased by Mr.. Wedden-
dorf and Mr.. Behnke Was built in 1879
by William Frank and John Bentzin, both
OF whom were millers in the then City
Mill now the feed and cereal mill of
this city. It is built so that wheat
flour, rye flour and corn meal can be
manufactured and it is also equipped
to grind feed. Of the latter work it
has always done considerable. 1t has
a capacity of from rs to 100 barrels
of flour every "a hours.
Mr.. Frank retired from the milling
business in 1898 and in 1910 Mr.. Bentzin
turned over the mill property to his
sons and they were in active control
until last year when they went out of
business

This statement was issued at the De.
partment Of Justice
On the recommendation Of the az

rected that on and after Christmas
DAY the attorney general discontinue
enforcement of all regu atoms affect
ing the conduct of male and female
German alien enemies except those re-
strlctions which apply to entry into
ana departure from the country and
those affecting the power Of internment
This means that on and after Christ
mas day the permit and pass systems
effective against these aliens will no
abolished all over the country and that
all prohibited areas and restricted zones
Will go out OF existence. All registration
regulations will likewise cease and 8
will no longer be necessary for Ger
man alien enemies to obtain permits
for change of residence. In short. tbay
will be freed OF all restrictions affect;n,
places Of residence and employment

The attorney general, however. will
continue con- nj to exercise as heretofore tho
power to intern. all dangerous al;or
enemies. The action of the Pres;dent
does not affect in any way the status
OF men already informed or tho 20

Any violation Of parole will be punished
as heretofore. . .-7.
