CHICAGO, March 21-Reports from Berlin telling of a German victory in the Upper Silesia plebiscite were de- nounced as propaganda by Ignace Pa derewski. former premier of Poland. who stopped here today while en route to California to spend several months resting.
 Paderewski declared that the bal lots were being telephoned to central places where the final tally would be made and expressed doubt as to whether any formal announcement would be possible for several days.
 Declaring German propa ganda was still rampant, he said that in the Sf- lesian case the peace treaty which pro vided for a plebiscite also set forth that the result should only be for the in formation of the commission in Paris and that the actual line of division of Silesia between Germans and Poles will be drawn later in Paris by allied au- thorities who have the power to ignore the vote if they so desire.
 Thus one can see the German mo- tive" he continued.

WASHINGTON, March 21-Prohibi- ton has brought hundreds of mush- room business establishments engaged in the making of booze beverages speakers declared at a conference to- day of pharmaceutical manufacturers and manufacturing chemists. The conference was called to discuss the prohibition law aSld regulations affect ing the manufacture of medicines con taining alcohol.
 Speakers also charged that the ac- tivities of manufacturers who catered to the beverage medicine trade had compelled prohibition enforcement of ficials to brand all pharmaceutical manufacturers as potential criminals. Several expressed the belief that an in justice has been done them and in order to talk it over with Commis sioner Kramer, the conference invited lhim to attend tomorrow's session There was some criticism of the Vol stead act, but it did not go far The position of manufacturers as stated by their chairman, W. J. Goodruff of Detroit, was that they desired only to
 have an understanding with the pro- hibition officials. They want to work lunhampered and they want the prohi- | bition officials to feel they can be | trusted to obey the law, MT Woodruff fl said. He added that resentment exists because the good and the bad had peer classed together under the same regu- llations.
 Dr. Harvey Wiley. former chic chemist, one of the speakers, told thu manufacturers that their troubles al
 were founded on the person with thu thirst and that their future service t' their trade should be governed by tha knowledge.
 'Pll tell you pr. Wiley said, ''' thirsty man and crooked druggist i Ia pretty bad combination. You pro lduce a concoction because you believ lit has medicinal value. But som :. druggists into whose hands that ma, come may not have the same sense O justice. And the person with the thlrs Icomes in. That completes the case.
 The conference developed much dis cussion of technical questions comm Iunder the prohibition regulations O
 which the members of the meetin were not agreed They therefore, ap pointed a committee to frame thei
 erievances in statement form to be pu
 to MT. Kramer or whomever he desis
 mated to hear their plea.
