"Dry ExpeditiOnary Forces"
Withdraw From Iron River.
White Flag OF Rum Rebels
Brings Quick Peace.

Iron River Mich, Feb. 26.-The
bloodless battlefield of Iron River
valley stood deserted today by the
prohibition expeditionary forces un-
der Maj. A. V. Dalrymple.
With an army OF forty armed
deputies and Michigan state police,
Dalrymple arrived here today to
stamp out the rum rebellion" and
arrest city and county officials alleged
to have interfered with the work of
Leo ]. Grove. prohibition agent. After
destroying eight barrels of wine, re-
leased to him by county officials,
Dalrymple prepared to withdraw
under instructions from Prohibition
Commissioner Kramer at Washington.
Daybreak found Major DaIrymple
en- route to Washington. He an
nounced he would present evidence
procured here of alleged liquor viola
tions to prohibition officials and the
department of justice.
The Michigan constabulary returned
to their posts at Negaunee early today
and other prohibition officers were re-
turning to Chicago and Milwaukee.
This closed the incident as far as
Iron River is concerned. Prosecuting
Attorney Martin McDonough declared
early today. McDonough called Dali
rymple "a four flusher and a bluff"
He came here to arrest me and
several other residents of this county
but he backed down completely" Nc

London, Feb. 26.-The council of
premiers has reached a number of
important decisions which will be in
corporated in the treaty of peace with

SITUATION is CRAVE
SyndicaIism in French Rail Strike
Rouses Fears of Authorities.


Paris, Feb. 26.-Syndicalism threat
ems to appear in the French railway
strike situation which is very grave to-
day. Demands that all railways be
nationalized are being made by strike
leaders who continue their efforts TO
stampede all railroad workers in the
country into the strike, which began
with the walkout of the employees OF
the Paris. Lyon & Mediterranean sys-
TEN. In the provinces the movement
is looked upon as revolutionary in
stead of professional by the authori-
ties. according to the Echo de Paris.
All arrangements to ensure the de-
livery of food supplies to this city have
been made by the government and
municipal officials have taken similar
steps. The question of placing the
railroads under military control as
Premier BRAND did in 1910, is being
considered, but such a grave decision,
the newspapers say. is impossible in
the absence of Premier Millerand. 1t
is said officials take the view that the
Paris, Lyon & Mediterranean COM
pany is entitled to the right to en-
force discipline on it's system and it
will receive support from the govern
ment, if necessary.
The strike on this road was caused
by the refusal of the road to reinstate
in it's service men who were dis
charged, it is alleged because they alb
sented themselves from duty to at
tend a union meeting

'Georgette Too
Thin a Name For
Winter Monkey
Frail Little Arrival at Gage Zoo
Dies - Wanted to Name Pet
George, But 1t Wasn't "That
Kind"
BY WALT"

This is a story with a moral for
girls.
Early last Sunday morning a new
baby monkey arrived at the Gage park
zoo. 1t was a frail. delicate little
thing and its mother was as proud as
a small boy with a new sled f. f. A.
Reinisch, superintendent of parks. and
attendants at the zoo began casting
about for an appropriate name for the
new arrival, and at last bethOught
them that it had been born on Febru-
airy %. SO it was named George, in
honor of the Father of Our Country.
But, soon it was discovered that
George was not that kind of a mon
key. Here was a problem. but the zoo
keepers Cleverly extricated themselves
from the difficulty and at the same
time perfected the fame of Washing
ton by changing the little ones name
to Georgette.
Now at the city hall are divers fair
maidens who heard of the affair and
accepted the name of Georgette with
out dispute. But instead of admitting
that 1t was in honor of the first pres
ident, they stoutly maintained the
monkey had been named Georgette be-
cause it was so thin,
Wednesday night came the sequel.
Georgette died. Jungle land was in
mourning today for the departed lit
tie one, and the mother, grief strick-
en-, refused to give up the body of
her youngest born to the keepers
How to get 1t is problem those gen
uemen have not been able 10 work
out.
This was the fourth baby monkey
born at the zoo. The first was killed
by a dog. The second died with rheu-
matism. The third alone is alive and
healthy
name may mean nothing in the
young life of a monkey. but city hall
folk are of the opinion that "Geor-
gette" and the cold spell combined
proved too much for the little lady
and that is why she was called away
to those heavenly jungles where this
palm trees wave forever and The
tropical sun is never clouded.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The senate

reservations have been disposed Of
Resuming its interrupted discussion
of the peace treaty today. the senate

Lodge Serves Notice.
Under notice given by Senator
Lodge there is to be no further side
tracking of the treaty untli 1t has been
ratified or definitely rejected. Lodge
plans TO carry out his original program
of submitting one by one his proposed
amendments to various reservations
and having the senate vote on them as
rapidly as possible.
The withdrawal reservation, was
voted on last Saturday. The next to
which Lodge has offered an amend
ment is that on domestic questions:
It reserves to the United States control
of all purely domestic questions. in
Guiding commerce, tariff and the like.
Show Down on Art. 10.
Some objection may be voiced to
carry out the Lodge program by those
who want to take up the Article 10
reservation at once and dispose of it,
thus preventing what they think will
be a waste of time. Consideration of
the Article 10 reservation would be
the quickest way to bring about a
show down." Senator Hitchcock and
others think.

CONDUCTOR is INJURED


Marvin Drew. a conductor on the
Washburn-Douthitt line, was injured
this morning at $40 o'clock when
another car crashed into the rear of
his car as it was leaving the barn at
Twelfth and Jackson streets. He was
taken to a hospital and then to his
home, where it was stated his injuries
were not serious.
Drew's car was rounding the corner
from Twelfth to Jackson streets when
the trolley came off. His car was
dark and another car. coming from
behind, threw a light straight ahead
so that the motorman could not see
the car just around the curve. Drew
was putting the trolley back on the
wire when the crash occurred. He
suffered painful bruises
