lnsuIar Leaders Appeal to the Tokyo
Government for Administra-
tive Reforms.

Tokyo, Feb. 5.-The Island of For
mosa, which was coded by China to
Japan in 1895, is threatened with dis
turbances as serious as those which
have occurred in Korea within the last
two years. Rim Kendo, prominent
Formosan, declared at a public meet
ing held in his honor at Hiblya park
here.
Kendo said that the Formosans had
arrived at the conclusion that the Jap
anese were attempting to enslave
them.
The meeting followed the appear
ance of Kendo and Sal Kiejo, another
prominent Formosan. before the Jap
anese diet in which they presented a
petition for the reorganization of the
japanese administration of the island.
Kendo said that feeling against the
Japanese was growing daily and that
unless reforms, including the extern
sion of self-government to the island,
were forthcoming the situation would
become serious.

GENERAL CHARLES DAWES
DEFENDS A. E. F. WORK
Hits at Critics of Great American
Army and Lauds Conduct
Of War.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Charles G.
Dawes, Chicago banker, declared here
that he was mot going into public of
fee"
His statement was taken. as an an
nOuncement that he will not enter the
cabinet of President-elect Harding. He
has been the most prominently men
toned man for secretary of the treas
ury, or for governor of the federal re-
serve board in case he did not so into
the cabinet.
General Dawes, who was a briga-
dier general during the war in fhe bu-
reau of supply procurement, created
a sensation by his testimony before
a committee of the house that is inves-
tjgating the conduct of the war.
Relating his own observations and
experiences in France, General Dawes
punctured a lot of campaign argu-
ments. Stories of misrepresentation
were "damnable," he declared. He
struck back at critics, who, he said,
had attempted to belittle the achieve
ment Of the American army in France.
Called as a witness before the house
war investigating committee, Gener-
al Dawes strobe up and down the
floor Swearing like a trooper, with
out apology, he told how General Per-
shing's plan for co-ordinatins the arm
les and supplies saved the day against
Germany. His recital of achievements
was dramatic at times.
Declaring the army was clean in all
Of it's purchases and business meth
DDS, General Dawes said there was
some comfort, even at this late day,
in finding now a desire to set down
an honorable record of it's work.

ELIMINATES LIMIT
ON PRESCRIPTION
Wine Supply Is Up to the Family
Doctor.
DRY ORDER TAKES OFF LID
Amount of "Soft Liquor" Sick Man
May Have Up to the "Sound and
Honest" Judgment of
Physician.

Washington, Feb. "a ruling that
physicians may prescribe vlnous IL
quors in any quantities they see ut,
issued by Prohibition Commissioner
Kramer, contains more comfort for
thirsty Americans than has been dis
covered in many dry day.
"Vinous liquors" described by the
commissioner are Of various alcoholic
content, from 5 or 6 to 40 per cent, or
even more. Unless the necessity Of
such ruling should develop in prac-
tice no attempt will be made to regu-
late the alcoholic content of wines
dispensed under physicians pre-
scription, prohibition officials assert
May Permit Sale of Beer.
They refused to either confirm or
deny a report that a decree will soon
be issued permitting the manufacture
of beer, stout and other malt liquors,
to be dispensed under prescription
from physicians.
1t is believed, however, that such a
ruling permitting the manufacture Of
malt liquor on a limited scale will be
the logical outcome Of the ruling.
Wines, in many cases, are superior
to whisky as tonic, physicians as
sert. 1t is especially valuable during
cOnvalescence from facilitating dis
eases and as a tonic for the aged.
Pressure by reputable physicians
upon the prohibition commissioner is
understood to have been largely re-
sponsible for the lifting of the ban.
Up to the "Doc."
The order issued to all prohibition
directors is as follows:
Some confusion has existed as to
the quantity of wine (vinous liquors)
that may be prescribed by physician
in his practice for medical purposes.
In order to remove this confusion you
are advised that until further orders
physicians may prescribe in their prac-
tice such quantities of wine ais they, in
the exercise of their sound and honest
judgment, may deem necessary in the
particular case, if they in good faith
believe that the use of wine as a medi-
ClHe ny lHc pelooH IoI WHO'LL IL Is pre-
scribed is necessary and will afford
relief to him from some known all
ment.
''The quantity to be prescribed is
thus placed in the sound discretion of
the physicians that they should use ex-
traordinary care not to abuse the right
given them and the directors should
guard this matter most carefully to the
effect that the said privilege is not
abused by any physician"

FIND MISSING MAN IN CHURCH
Coast-to-Coast Search for Lost Ten
nessee Merchant, Ends in
California.

Stockton, CAL, Feb. 8.-The known
religious tendency of Harris J. Mel
son, said to be the head of a Hum
boldt, Tennessee, hardware concern,
was the cause of his location here af-
ter a search from coast to coast. Mel
son disappeared some weeks ago. A
letter from San Jose turned the
search for him to California, and
George D. Furrill of Los Angeles, a
friend, was asked to hunt for the
missing man. Furrill traced Nelson
to Stockton and Sunday took advan-
tage of his knowledge of Nelson's reg
ularity as a churchgoer to seek him
at an edifice of worship. Nelson,
who apparently had been ill, soon ap-
peared.
