Dalrymple, federal prohibition director for the Central States, notified Washington today. A prohibition agent and a party of Michigan State constables were held up February 19 by Iron County ofli cials and wine they had confiscated taken from the in, according to word brought to Chicago, today by Leo J. Grovo, of Marquette, supervising pro hibition agent for the upper penin sula. Major Dalrymple appealed to Attor ney General Palmer to order war rants issued for the arrest of the prosecutor, two deputy sheriffs two police officers and three other resi dents of Iron River, a mining village. While awaiting word from federal authorities, Dalrymple issued orders for a company of picked prohibition agents to gather here tonight pre paratory to starting tomorrow on an armed expedition which, he declared, will "clean up" Iron County.
