DALRYlMPLEiS DRY ARMY WITHDRANS FROM FIELD
 WITHOUT A "CLEAN UP"
Prohibition Agent Recalled from Iron River Country, Goes To Washinston Finds Nine Barrels of Wine in Priests Home, Samples and Destroys Them; Punitive
 Expedition Is Without Result

IRON RIVER, Mich, Feb. 25-Thir- ty-five federal agents and members of the Michigan state constabulary, who arrived here last night under Major A. " Dalrymple, prohibition commits sioner for the central states, to "clean up Iron county" tonight were en route back to their home stations, while Major Dalrymple was bound for Wash ington to confer with Prohibition Com missioner John Kramer.
 Major Dalrymple, who led the armed expedition to Iron River in the heart of the upper peninsula iron belt, with the avowed purpose of arresting coun- ty and village officers on charges of conspiracy to obstruct enforcement of the prohibition law, was called off by MT. Kramer and ordered to meet the opposing sides and seek compromise without legal action.
 The worsting of federal agents in the first clash with state officers in the enforcement of the 18th amend ment to the constitution has given a dry law, Major Dalrymple declared be fore he left for Washington.
 Martin s. McDonough, prosecuting
 
 the county authorities, whom Major Dalrymple declared to be in "open re- volt" against the United States, re- ceived a telegram today from District Attorney M. H. Walker at Grand Rap ids, advising him to take no action un- til the district attorney could come here to investigate the case.
 MT. McDonough had obtained a war Co hR rNPA To1 h. charging him with malicious libel, and had planned to have it served when the train bringing the federal men ar rived last night.
 A telephone message from Crystal Falls, 15 miles away, however, notified McDonough that Major Dalrymple, m anticipation of trouble, had issued 50 rounds of ammunition to each man in his party. The prosecutor then advis- ed Iron River citizens to go home and avoid any demonstration that might provoke open hostilities,
 2 Today Mr. McDonough waited upon Major Dalrymple at the hotel where the latter was staying and warned him that if he carried out his announced plan and arrested anyone in Iron coun- ty without warrant or searched any private home for liquor, the county of ficers would "arrest every man in your party and put them in jail''
 The prohibition director already had received orders from MT. Kramer at Washington, calling off the armed in- vasion" and as result no arrests were made.
 Reports that I took the eleven bar rels of wine from Leo J. Grove, federal prohibition director for northern Mich igan, and the state police returned 1t to the Italians from whom 1t was talk en, are absolutely false" McDonough declared today. T conffscated this wine when found it in the possession of Grove. I placed by own men m charge of 1t and put the barrels in a safe place."
 Major Dalrymple found nino Bari eIs or the wine in the basement of the home of the parish priest today, and destroyed the liguor, after taking sam ples from each barrel for evidence McDonough explained that the base ment of the parish house was the only one in Iron River with a secure lock and therefore was borrowed as 8 stor- age place for the wine.
 "Dalrymple's action in destroying the liquor, which he needed for evil dence, was ridiculous" McDonough de clared. 'It gave the major a fine op- portunity to pose before the movie camera while he knocked in the barrel
