Booze Liner is
Heavily Laden
for Trip Across

PARIS. - When the liner La
France, now generally known as the
Booze greyhound" leaves Havre
for New York Friday, she will carry
thrice the amount of alcohol,
borne on previous trips. Even some
of the steerage accommodations
have been converted into storage
rooms of huge quantities of cham
pagne, gin, vermuth and other liq-
uors, notably, all the ingredients for
cocktails Everything has been done
to see to it that the passengers will
not go dry either on the trip to
New York or on the way back to
France.
Drinking aboard crown liners is
more than four times what it was in
the days before prohibition. This
is due, according to the stewards of
La France, not only to the imprac-
ticability of filling the ''cup that
cheers" anywhere in America, but
also to the comparatively low prices
of spirits aboard ship.
A special corps + stevedores have
been busy night and day loading La
France. The wet stock on the liner
includes 100000 gallons of liquor,
$4,000 gallons of champagne, and
$4,000 gallons of other wines.

new SCOUT TROOP
IS FORMED HERE
Overcrowded Condition
of Troop One Causes
Change

Scout troop No. 4 Of the Boy
Scouts of America has been formed
by division of the overcrowded
Troop No. 1, which has steadily
grown in numbers during the winter
to an enrolment of more than thir-
ty scouts.
The original troop is composed
now of the older boys who have
secuted together for several years,
and their scoutmaster is w. B.
Goodnough. Scoutmaster Fremont
Kutnewsky goes with the new troop,
which has just dozen members.
A letter received by the local
troops from Scoutmaster Elieson of
Idaho Falls suggests a Snake riv-
er valley scout meet between Rex
burg, Rigby, Idaho Falls and Black
foot, in which teams would compete
in knot tying, first aid work, putting
up tents and other scout activities.
There is every indication that this
summer will see more scout activi-
ties in Blackfoot than ever before,
and troops are already being formed
in the community centers of the
county. Partly owing to the fine
work done with so good a patriotic
spirit by Boy Scouts during the war
the scout idea is gaining much hear
ty support everywhere.

SENATOR DUBOIS
GIVES INTERVIEW
Tells Portland Paper
Democrats Will F ind
Candidate

The following article is reprinted
from the Oregon Sunday Journal OF
Portland:
Uninstructed delegates to the ma
tional Democratic convention at San
Francisco will find a Democratic
candidate. for the presidency with
out the aid of the unit rule.
Such is the opinion of Senator
Fred T. Dubois of Blackfoot, Idaho,
who is in Portland en- route to Seat
tie with his mind centered upon the
serious business of getting a Japan
ese and the wife he has just brought
from the blossom kingdom out of the
immigration service "hock shop" as
the senator puts it.
Armed with message from Mrs.
Dubois advising him of the deten-
tion of the Japanese, who recently
returned to his native land to ac-
company his wife to the new world,
the senator will pat the immigration
inspectors on the back and post all
of Idaho as bond to assure the
faith Of the Japanese couple-but he
must get that pair free.
What is national legislation as
compared with the terrors of having
ones very best farm hand confined
by immigration authorities because
he has attempted to bring to Idaho
the wife he left in Japan six years
ago?
The senator can see some differ
ence, sure enough, but Mrs. Dubois
can't and she wants that Jap and she
wants his wife. II the senator can
turn the trick she shall have them
But as to politics, which the sena-
tor forsook a month ago to make a
brief trip into the home state
Presidential possibilities are
CHIEFLY favorite sons as yet" the
senator declared Saturday evening.
AS far as the Democrats are con-
cerned, the candidate will be found
at the San Francisco convention.
II believe, really, that not more
than one-seventh of the delegates
will go to the convention with in
structions they will be told to do
their best and that will be good
enough for the party. l rather ex-
pect Oregon's delegates will be in
structed, but in some other states
with preferential primaries no can
didates for delegates filed.
Political feeling in the west is
different from what we find in the
east. There is strong feeling for
men who are hardly considered in
the east and the opposite is true"

WINTER WHEAT
SUPPLY SHORT
Government Calls for
Increased Planting
Of Spring Grain

WASHINGTON. - Winter wheat
promises to supply only 4S3,617,OO0
of the needed SO,O00,0OO bushels in
1920, and the United States depart
ment of agriculture has issued bull
letin setting forth that April l crop
conditions call for increased plant
ings of spring wheat.
Last year the winter wheat crop
alone ran 731, $4,000 bushels. The
4S3,617,000 figure promised for
1920 by the April report may be re-
duced by further abandonment of
winter killed fields. Hessian fly in
festation which is unusually severe
over large areas and the grasshop-
pers menace in the great plains.
Furthermore the department
pointed out that the apparently large
carryover-150,0 100000 bushels-is
principally winter wheat of low mill
ing quality. Adding to the serious
ness of the situation the reports
from the spring wheat region showed
tendency to reduce rather than in
crease acreage as a result of the un-
favorable farm labor market.
While the worldwide reports on
wheat acreage show close approach
to normal, Russia is without facili-
ties to transport her surplus of 55,-
100000 bushels. World conditions
show no indication of falling off in
demand.

Plot Revealed Whereby
Prominent Officials
Are to be Bomb
Victims
BOLSHEVISTS BUSY
Reds Striving to Bring
About Reign of
Terror
(By Universal Service)

WASHINGTON.P Prominent officials
both state and federal, are marked
to be victims of May Day bomb plots,
as part of plan of industrial ter
rorism set for May 1, according to
Attorney General Palmer.
Information gathered by secret
service operations of the depart
ment of justice showed a nation
wide plot in progress by radical ele-
ments to bring about series of in
dustrial demonstrations marked by
the milling of bombs to high officials.
Mr.. Palmer said that local police
in every state had been notified by
agents of the department of justice
to give the fullest protection to those
who had been marked for death by
the reds on May Day. The names
and addresses of these officials have
been communicated to local author
tiles with requests for special pro-
lection on that date, Mr.. Palmer
said.
Agents of the Lenine and Trotsky
the attorney general stated were op-
Grating in the country to bring about
an Industrial reign of terror in New
York, Chicago, Pittsburg, Philadep-
phia and other centers on May 1, as
part of a more extensive plan for
coincident demonstrations in France,
England, Ireland, Italy and Den
mark. According to department of
justice officials saturnalia of vio-
lence may be expected in the United
States and other countries by radi-
Gals who plan to make May an in
labor day bv demonstra-
tions against existing governments
everywhere.

AMERICAN CITIZENS IN
CHIHUAHUA REPORTED SAFE

WASHINGTON city of Chi
huahua, capital of the important
Mexican state of same name has fall
len into the hands of the rebels, it
was officially announced Thursday
by the state department. This loss
to the Carranza government is the
more important because it was
brought about by the detection of
5000 or 1000 Carranza troops in the
city and because it is understood the
whole state will now become terri
tory of the revolution. The official
account says that only one battalion
of Carranza's troops-the sixty
second-desired to remain faithful
to him, but that eventually was
beaten into line.
The fighting in the city was con-
tinuous for about thirty-six hours,
up to noon of Wednesday.
American citizens in Chihuahua
reported by the consuls to be safe.
This was a reassuring fact, in as
much as the railway between Elpaso
and Chihuahua is out.
The Carranza officials of Chihua-
hua are stated to be in detention
by the revolutionists. 1t is not i'm
practicable that the CarranZa forces
in Chihuahua are those which he had
selected to move westward on Sonora
and regain that state, as it has been
reported that Carranza intended to
make the attempt operating from
Chihuahua.
The department is keeping an eye
on the situation on the border. Cen
eral Joseph Dickman, commander of
the department of the south, has
sent sufficient guard to Elpaso and
having about 10000 troops for
border protection it is understood
he has strengthened the garrisons at
Columbus and Noglaes and placed
additional garrisons at other points
on the border. The immediate points
of interest are Juarez and Ell Paso.
The Carranaistas for the present are
remaining loyal to Carranza at
Juarez. If that continued 1t seems
now as If Juarez would be attackde.
