mony in his libel suit against DR.. Karl

Gus questionable transactions in con-
rectlon with the issuance of import

using his official position and influence
IN the furtherance Of ventures in which
Erzberger was alleged to be interested.
The official statement announcing

PALM BEACH, Feb. 24.-The birth
day anniversary Of the Father of His
Country, and the annual plunge of the
Mayor Of New York into the whrl of
Palm Beach society, were celebrated
Jointly with dinner and ball at the
Royal Poinciana last night and until
sun-up this morning.
There was jazz band that appar-
emily had never heard of union hours
Tropical foliage and blossoms deco
rated the rooms. There was a crowd
SO dense that whatever longing might
have risen in Mr.. Hylan's bosom for
the B. R. T. rush hour must have been
stlled.
In the center of the famous garden
grill Of the hotel, at table banked
high with flowers and decorated with
flags, the Mayor occupied the seat of
honor amid 3 group of fellow Brook
lynites whose guest he was.
Hears Poem Read in His Honor
He beamed on the glitter and color
of the biggest crowd of the season and
cast down his eyes and blushed becom-
ingly when one of his hosts. Alfred
Feltman, rose at the height of the fes-
tivities and read a poem insured by.
dedicated to and dealing with John f.

amid applause which drowned out
several verses of the poem, but there
were plenty more.
yet. he has proved his sincereness
by his shrewdness" was another line
that was acclaimed with cheers by
the Hylans' dinner companions.
Departing from rhapsodies on the
Mayors physical and mental attrac-
tions, the epic declared that the rail-
roads didn't like the Mayor and con-
tinued:
"The city has been cleared of snow
and ice,
"without Mayor Hylan telling us
twice"
Lyrical Boom for Reelection
The verses concluded with the hope
that the guest of honor might be
elected Mayor of New York again.
When the thunders of applause had
died away Mr.. Hylan rose and said he
thanked his friends for their good
wishes. He added that he was not
candidate to succeed himself.

Republican Club to Hear
zeal Statesmen in
Phon0graphic Wrangle

Political campaign methods may be
revolutionized by an experiment the
Central Republican Club, Of the 10th
Assembly District, has scheduled for
tonight in its clubrooms, 90 West
124th Street. The organization has ar
ranged debate on the league of ma
tions, the high cost Of living and other
pressing national issues and has an
nouncod the following star partici-
pants:
United States Senators Lodge and
Harding, Republicans; William G. Nc
Adoo and Attorney General Palmer,
Democrats. The debaters, however, will
not appear in the flesh. Their voices
only will be present, phonograph rec
ords being the medium by which their
words will be reeled off.
Some see in the innovation the be-
ginning of the end of the spellbinder
and the mass meeting. 1t will be much
simpler, they point out, for John Voter
to sit at home and put William Jen-
nings Bryan or Charles Evans Hughes
disc on the old phonograph than to
sally forth to Madison Square Garden
to hear them in person.
And then, one can always shut it off

Dalrymple, at
Revolt Scene,
Faces Arrest
Libel Charged Against U. S.
''Dry'' Agent; Officials of
Iron County Are Ready
TO Use Force if Resisted

IRON RIVER, Mich, Feb 24.-Maior
A. V. Dalrymple, prohibition enforce
ment officer, and his assistants arrived
from Chicago tonight to clear up
alleged violations of the prohibition
law, but took no immediate action.
There was no excitement.
Local officers did not meet the Fed
eral officials, who went to hotel while
a crowd of curious citizens looked on.
Before the arrival of Major Dalrymple
and his party, warrant for the prohi-
bition directors arrest was issued on a
chage of circulating malicious libel.
The warrant was sworn to by States
Attorney Martin MoDonough as a per-
sonal matter between himself and Dali
rymple. The warrant it was expected,
would be served sometime tonight.
1t was planned to take Major Dali
rymple before police magistrate ar
raign and release him on his own
on Wednesday.
Unless Federal officers, who are with
the major, attempt to arrest the
states attorney, none of them will be
molested. If, however. such arrests
are attempted the agents of Major
Dalrymple will be locked up, it is
said, the county authorities planning
to use whatever force is necessary to
accomplish their purpose.
Warrants Are Withheld

Iron County, Mich, whom he charges
with conspiracy to obstruct the pro-
hibition law, Major A. V. Dalrymple,
with force Of thirty-tive men, passed
through Champion tonight en- route to
Iron River with the avowed intention
of making the arrests without warrants
and recovering eleven barrels of wine
taken from Federal officials last week.
At Negaunee, Mich, Lieutenant A. A.
Downing, commanding the Michigan
state constabulary in the upper penin-
sula, with a half troop of his men,
joined Major Dalrymple and his party
of sixteen Federal officers. Five addi-
tional state troopers at Caspian, Mich,
have orders to proceed to Iron River
tonight to join the party in the morn
ing
The men whose arrest Major Dal-
rymple seeks are Martin McDonough.
states attorney of Iron County, FIVE
deputy sherffs, the chief and captain
of police of Iron River village, and
three citizens.
Troops Carry Side Arms
Neither Major Dalrymple nor Lieu
tenant Downing anticipated any resist
ance at Iron River The state troopers
left their rifles in barracks and, like
the Federal agents, carried only side
arms.
Mr.. McDonough announced at Iron
River that he had received a tel
egram from Attorney General Palmer
regretting that "misunderstand-
ing had arisen" over the enforce
ment of prohibition laws at Iron
River and expressing the hope that
the difficulties would be Strengthened
out. Mr.. McDonough was advised by
the Attorney General to get in touch
with District Attorney Walker at Grand

Maiden Effort, Gaining
Crowds Cheers and Con-
gratulations of Members

LONDON, Feb. "a (By The Associated
Press Lady Astor made her maiden
speech in Parliament tonight during
the course of an interesting debate on
the subject Of liquor control.
Sir John Kees, Unionist. for East
Nottingham, in brilliant and witty
speech urged the removal of the exist
ing war restrictions on the liquor
trade
81 know that strong forces are ar
rayed against me-" he said, "and that
there is rod in pickle for me, but |
shall be prepared to kiss the rod"
Lady Astor supported control of the
liquor traffic, for which she pleaded
strongly IN the interests of the chill
dren.
II am aware" she said, chat this
country does not desire prohibition.
and | am not working for that. | am
certain that the country is ripe for
drastic drink reforms, and l want to
see that the drink submarine does not
torpedo the Prime Minister and that he
is master In his own house"
Cheers and laughter greeted this
sally. Vigorously attacking Rees and
his supporters and accusing thlm of
constantly kicking during the past
years against the drink control board
she exclaimed amid cheers: "What did
they do during the great war? Had
they not a pretty record ?"
Lady Astor concluded with a fervent
for reform, saying: Drink
promises everything, but gives moth
ing, and | beg the House not to look
upon me as either crank or a .lunatic.
because | am only trying to speak for
thousands OF women and children who
cannot speak for themselves"
Lady Astor began by saying the
world would not forget that it was the
lighting men of Devon who sent the
hrst woman to the British Parliament.
ut is for the first woman member"
she went on, "to show a like course, and,
like Drake, l take my courage in both
hands to address the House on this
vexed question Do we want the well
fare of the community or the pros
perity of the drink trade? Do we want
national efficiency Or national in
efficiency? Are we going to trv for a
better world or slip back to the old
world before 19rl?
II could talk for hours on the moral
gains by the war restrictions" CHEERS
and cries o. GO on.")
Lady Astor was warmly cheered on
resuming her seat, the members crowd
ing round and congra atulating her.
The Rees motion was talked out In
the course Of the subsequent debate
Lady Astor was warmly complimented
by both Sir Donald MacLean and the
Right Hon. Herbert A. Fisher, of the
War Ministry, for her courageous and
brilliant speech.

The Democratic Senators are nearly

Hitchcock said to-day, but there are

that the Republicans accept the bi-

services. One evening, after travel
ing all day, he came up to an old
farmhouse. He took supper with the
farmer and then asked the farmer
TO givo him shelter for the night.
but the farmer said he was sorry
that he could not accommodate him.
but after a moments reflection he
pointed TO n lonely house across the
road. He told him he could sleep
there IL he wished, but It had tho
reputation of being haunted. The
preacher only laughed and said he
was not afraid OF spooks. So he de-
eided TO spend the night at the
haunted house. On opening the door
he saw long flight of steps. and go
Ing up these he came to n door. He
opened tho door and found IT to DO

but he decided 10 would rather spend
the night on tho floor. on which was
spread large and comfortable rug
before an OPEN fire place. I'm which
was piled several logs of wood such
as they use in the country. After

folded his coat for a pillow; then,
