SAYS N0YlCES CANNOT MAKE
 GOOD LIQUOR

SEATTLE, Wash, June 1 (by Asso- clated Press) ).-Seattle people are get ting tired of trying to make home brew, wines and "moonshine" accord ing to Matt Starwich, sheriff of King county. Amateurs can't make good alcoholic drinks, he said
 Despite the sheriffs statement Lieutenant of Police John Haag, head of the police "dry squad" declared re- gently that home brew, whether vinous or malt, is being made in more than lO,5OO homes in Seattle The per centage of home brewers is increasing daily, he declared
 The police, Lieutenant Haag ex- plained, are working under an old or dlnance based on the former state law allowing householders to have twelve quarts of beer and two quarts of hard liquor in their possession. Persons who are obviously brewing at home for their own use, and not for sale, are rarely molested by the police, he said

TUBERCULOSIS
 SAPPINC LIFE
 0FCEN.CARCIA

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1 (by Asso- ciated Press) ).-Death may defeat the efforts of the Mexican government to extradite Captain Carmel Carlos Gar cia on a charge of having embedded $6O,OOO while paymaster in the Mex ican army. Garcia is dying of tubercu- losis in the San Francisco county jail If he goes to Mexico, he may be shot as a traitor.
 Garcia was arrested here at fa- shionable hotel more than two years ago. He fought extradition on the ground that his was political offense, and that in Mexico he would have to face firing squad. He said he wished to die in this country and be draped with the American flag.
 The case has been carried through several courts. After having been re- leased several times on bail, Garcia underwent serious operation and tuberculosis developed. Recently he was pronounced in a serious condition. Lower courts ordered him returned to Mexico but he has carried his appeal to the United States supreme court, which must decide in which country his life will end.
 When arrested, Garcia had in his possession $2S,O00 of the $60,000 he admitted having taken. The remainder had been spent chiefly for jewelry and clothing. The courts took charge of the $2S000 and ordered that the cost of keeping him in jail and supplying him with medical attendance should be first deducted and the sum re- maining be returned to the Mexican government.
 If the decision goes against Garcia, the Mexican officers will have to nurse him carefully to get him across the line, where, he says, he would be shot.

GREAT FLEETS WILL SOON BE
 MANEUVERlNC

WASHINGTON, June l (by Assoc lated Press).-With Atlantic and Pacific fleet air forces mobilized at bases on the two coasts, an intens- i've program of summer and fall man. euvers is being planned by Captain William A. Moffatt, director of naval aviation. Starting with the joint army and navy bombing tests off the Atlantic coast from June 15 to July 15, decided to test the offensive value of aircraft against naval vessels, navy fliers will be put through several months of stiff exercises.
 Early in July the Naval Airship ZR-2 purchased in Great Britian, will fly to this country in charge of an American crew. A great aerial dem- OnstratiOn will, mark her arrival. De- tachments of seaplanes flying boats and dirigibles will fly far out to sea to meet the big airship and escort her to a point on the Atlantic coast just north of Boston.
 The ZR-2 will then skirt the coast southward passing over the principal cities to Philadelphia, then proceed to the giant navy hangar at Lakehurst, N. J. and "anchored' to a mooring "mast," the first device of this kind to be erected in this country.
 Experts from Great Britain will superintend erection of the mast which will be steel structure about 150 feet high with a swiveled bridle at the top to which the nose of the dirigible will be morred permitting the ship to swing always nose to wind. The structure will cost about $50,000 and probably be fitted with an elevator to carry the crew of the dirigible to end and from the ground.
 After being thoroughly overhauled, the zR2 will undertake a cross country cruise to show the ship to the people. Present plans call for trip to Chicago and return, at No'S' Dy Noy ol lHS SOutHGIu DOT der of the Great Lakes, and if cities west of Chicago provide mooring fac llities the cruise may be extended indefinitely. The ship can make a round trip to Chicago without re- fueling.
 Easing on Lakehurst, the ZR-2 is to operate along the coast later and participate in an air fleet mobiliza- ten and extensive maneuvers and tactical drills, during the fall. On the Pacific coast similar man. euVers will be conducted in con nection with the Pacific fleet Ii IS possible a squadron of naval air craft may attempt trip around the rim of the country from a point in Washington state to Maine, during the year, the longest airplane cruise ever attempted.
 Plans for flight from San Diego Cal, to this city have been abandon. ed as Captain H. c. Muslin command. Ing the Pacific fleet air force who would have led the expedition can. not De spared from summer exercises Of the Pacific air forcec.
