 Carrying a small brown satchel, Salem came to the Elysee and asked for President Milerand, explaining to the guard who questioned him that he had a letter for the president. Noting a somewhat dazed look in Salems face, the guard suspected the man was mentally unbalanced and took the letter. promising to deliver lit to the president personally.
 At this the youth suddenly inquired If the presidents carriage had left the palace, he apparently not know ing that M Millerand was at Ram bouillett. The guard unthinkingly replied that the automobile had just left.
 Salem then quickly drew a small revolver of an obsolete typle and fired point blank at a car that happened to he in the front driveway of the Ely see.
 The young Egyptian had a pass port issued by the French legation in Cairo. He denied intending to shoot the president. He said he had writ ten to M Millerand for money when he failed to receive funds from his Egyptian relatives but as the president failed to reply he had gone to the palace intending to commit suicide in the presence Of the president as a form of protest against the chief exc cutive's indifference"

RAIDERS FERRET OUT
 POISON WINE CACHES
District Attorney Takes Personal Charge After
 II Have Died

New York, Sept. s-Heading g squad of uniformed policemen and detectives Dist. Attorney Ruston to- the Red Hook section of Brooklyn ir an effort to find the source of the poisonous alcohol which has caused II deaths in the neighbrhood The raiders had no warrants, but they visited every cellar in the block Members of the party said they were unable to get warrants because the persons who gave information about the alcohol feared that if their con nection with the search was known they would be killed.
 Shortly after the hunt was start ed several rrohibition officers joined the district attorney and two caches of liquid supposed to be whiskey or colored alcohol were found.
 Digging in the dirt in the back yards and closely searching the eel lar wall for secret hiding places they continued their hunt.
 The first liquid found was in the cellar of a tenement house. There were several demijohns, barrels and other containers loaded with the H. ouid. Five wine presses were found with several empty bottles all labelled Whiskey.
 With police guarding the block on all sides while others remained on roofs adjoining, the searchers tried two more houses without result. Then at the fourth, they discovered several pint f1asks filled with the same liquid.
 Dist. Attorney Ruston refused to allow tenants in whose home the liquid was found to taste 1t when they offered to do so to prove it was not wood alcohol.
