IRON RIVER
From Iron River Pioneer

Mr.. and Mrs. w. L. Bradfeld, of
the town of Hughes, are enjoying q
visit from their daughter and SON
in-law, who drove up from Florida,
and arrived here last week. They
consumed three weeks in making
the journey, but visited along the
way and made no effort to see how
fast they could make the trip.
They expect to remain the greater
part of the summer.
r
Hans E. Hanson, member OF the
Northern Pacific section crew here,
was badly BRUSHED and shaken up
last Saturday morning, and he con-
siders himself lucky to have escap-
ed even as we'll as he did under the
circumstances. He was riding on
a push car which was being showed
along by a gas car, when the push
car jumped the track, throwing Mr..
Hanson off. He landed on the track
and before the cars could be stopped
the push car had passed over his
body and as did also the front
wheels of the gas car The accident
occurred at a point about two miles
east of town, and the fact that the
cars were not being moved far and
had not attained much speed when
the accident occurred undoubtedly
was a fortunate circumstance for
the entire crew. Mr.. Hanson will
be laid up for some time.

tive of the Trojan Powder Company,
was also there and he gave demon
stration independent of the "main
show"
The demonstration of land clear
ing was confined to that most both
ersome part of the task on the cut
over lands-getting rid of the
stumps. The land picked for this
demonstration consisted lof broken
or billy land, not uniform as to
soil, but running from light to
medium sandy loan. In the main
2Oeo dynamite was used, but some
of the forty per cent was also used
to give chance for comparing their
effectiveness. The tests made seem
to bear out the theory advanced by
Mr.. Sweenehart, that for the dollar
expended the user gets more lift
for his money with 204o than with
400 dynamite, except when used in
very light soil.

Wheeler Is Denounced
Anti-Saloon League Counsel
Is A1raigned on Floor as
"Pcrnicious Lobbyist :"
From The Trlbune's Washington Bureau

From The Tribunes Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, July 27.--Protracted
discussion Of the beer bill in the Sem
ate to-day again failed to advance the
measure any nearer to passage. SEN
ator Broussard, of Louisiana, declared
that instead of being called the anti
beer bill the measure ought to be called
the MISREPRESENTATION bill. intended to
interfere with legitimate industries in
this country"
Senator Broussard also attacked the
bill on constitutional grounds, and
scored the Anti-Sa.oon League and
Wayne B. Wheeler, it's general counsel.
Mr.. Wheeler, who was sitting in the
Senate gallery, spilled at the criticism.
Pointing to Mr.. Wheeler. Senator
Broussard accused him of "perncious
lobbying" He charged that the Anti
Saloon League not only sought to die
tate appointments of prohibition Off
GERS, but sought to get this done under
agreement that they would resign if
their work was not satisfactory to the
league.
Senator Broussard quoted a letter
Wnlcn, ne SAID, was written by former
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer, in
January, 1920, while he was still in
Office, to member of the Ways and
Means Committee, giving an inter
probation of the Volstead act with ref
erence to beer and wine prescriptions.
1t said, in effect. that liquor, beer, ale.
porter and wine could be prescribed by
physicians, and that the limitation Of
pint did not apply to malt liquor
and wine.
Senator Broussard charged that
while dry Senators are asserting that
those who oppose the anti-beer bill
are encouraging lawlcssness, the Anti
Saloon League, through Wheeler and
others, is interfering with issue of
regulations under which physicians
could prescribe for patients.
st is time for the American people
to realize" declared Senator Brous-
sard, that agents are not enforcing
the laws. 1t is time they realized that
the Anti-Saloon League and Wayne B.
Wheeler are interfering with the func-
tioning Of the government and the en-
forcement Of the law
"Mr. Wheeler has gone to the en-
forcement Office here and has insisted
upon naming enforcement officers for
prohibition.
'All law-abiding citizens shout real
ize," Senator Broussard continued

chat we have condition which is in
tolerable in country like Ours"
Senator Moses asked to have printed
in the record a copy Of what we're said
to be the tentative regulations. This
was strongly objected to.
Senator Broussard commended that
the pending bill is outside of the iuris-
diction of Congress and that there was
never any grant of power to Con
gress, by implication or otherwise, to
prohibit liquor except for beverage
purposes.
"The limitations in the Eighteenth
Amendment are absolutely binding on
Congress-" said the Senator.
Mr.. Wheeler said:
Senator Broussard's attack upon
the prohibition department because it
does not issue the regulations on beer
is strangely inconsistent, in view of
the fact that the regulations relating
to wholesale liquor dealers have not
been issued, even though the opinion
relating to them was rendered long
before the beer opinion.

I.asloer Asks l25 Millions
To Tide Board Over Year
Request to Committee, Ap.
proved by Dawes, First in
Rehabilitation Program

From The Tribune's WASHINGTON Bureau
WASHINGTON, July 27.--The finan-
cal plight of the United States Ship
ping Board was laid before the House
Committee on Appropriations to-day,
when Chairman A. D. Lasker requested
on appropriation of $125, 100000 for the
five months period from July 81 to
December 81. 1921.
The request of the Shipping Board
was approved by General Dawes, Direc-
tor Of the Bureau Of the Budget, as
necessary to tide the governments
shipping agency over the remainder of
the year. The appropriation is the first
nstallment required for the Emergency
Fleet Corporation in the boards pro-
gram Of rehabilitating the governments
merchant marine preparatory to it's
disposal to private operators.
Chairman Laskcr with Elmer Schles-
niger, general counsel; Alonzo Tweedale,
comptroller; r. f. Montgomery the
special accountant employed in making
an inventory Of the Shipping Board s
assets, and Edward p. Farley, in charge
of ship sales, were heard by the COM
mittee, which met in executive session.
Chairman Lasker informed the com
mittee that he held out little hope for
selling the fleet of wooden vessels.
and that the cost of maintaining thest.
with the other craft of the fleet occa-
stoned monthly expenditure of APP
proximately $4,000. He expressed the
hope that at the expiration of the year
the boards finances would be in better
shape.
Chairman Lasksr did not discuss the
recent seizure of the nine vessels from
the United States Mail Company, but
devoted himself entirely to presenting
to the committee the urgent financial
needs of the Shipping Board He will
continue his testimony tomorrow.
