U. $. GRAND JURY
 BEGINS INQUIRIES
Mobile And ChoctaW County Law Violators Taken Up
 At Mobile Monday

MOBILE. Ala, Nov 26.-(spe- trict grand jury, which is charged with the investigation of the alleged wholesale liqlor law violations m Mobile and also in Choctaw county. was empaneled at noon today and immediately started the considera- tion of the large number Of cases which it will have to investigate.
 The charge of Judge Robert T. Erwin was longer and more speclhc than he is in the habit of SlvlnS' The court touched particularly upon the matter of discussing the cases under investigation on the outside and that of performing their duties impartially, forgetting both 1rlehu- ship and antagonisms.
 The court also charged the jury that it is proper for an officer or the government to enter into brl- bery agreement declaring that this is the only manner in which many ot the so-called higher-ups, particular ly in connection with liquor law Vlo- lations. can be caught.
 The judge touched Upon this mat ter, he explained, because of reports here recently that it is the attitude of the government that an officer should not persuade a person to com- init an offense in order to arrest him. The court held there is no violation of this rule when the person IS will ing to commit an offense and the of ficer or agent of the government merely offers him an opportunity.
 Government intelligence men work ing here for the past several months in connection with liquor law viola tions are said to have accepted bribea for protection" of Mobile bootleg gers.
 In connection with the matter oi7 .l,. T 1,.- outside in connection With cases De fore the grand jury, Judge ErVlA pointed out that it was the duty O. every juror to report to the court any instance of the kind. He de- clared he had withheld the list ot il TOTS from the press and others be- fore they were sworn in order to protect them from approach.
 Touching upon their duty to per form their work impartially, he pointed out that justice is usually represented as blind-seein2 the act and not the person. He called upon the jurors to be blind o''friendships and antagonisms, and declared 1t was the duty of any member who felt he could not act without favoi or prejudice to make this known 10 the foreman so that he might be eliminated from the discussion and voting on these cases. Another point was that the jury should not seek to get general information from wit nesses, and should confine their questions to the case or cases Tn which he was brought there to tes- tify,

REPUBLICANS MAY BE PLANNING COUP
Slemp And Daugherty Hear Of Probable Move Under
 Alabama Act
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU '
 THE AGE-HERALD ! |

c. Bascom Slemp, secretary to
 President Coolidge, and Harry M. Daugherty, Attorney General of the
 United States, for many days had in- formation that an effort probably
 would be made by republicans in Ala bama to obtain control of this states delegation to the republican national convention under the presidential preferential primary act passed by the legislature late in September. It became known today that copies of the law were sent to MT. Slemp
 and Mir. Daugherty several days ago with the statement that one faction of the party intNded to qualify . candidate for President of the United States at the eleventh hour with the
 view of giving him the right to name
 the delegation to the republican con- vention. It is not recorded that either MT. Slemp or Mir. Daugherty took a personal interest in the situa- tion created by the enactment of the law which was intended to assure Senator Oscar W. Underwood, Ala bama's candidate for President, the undivided delegation of this state in the democratic national convention
 Few persons knew until Sunday
 that the law providing for the
 preferential primary applied to the republican and other parties or that
 one person, a citizen of Alabama could qualify on the night of January
 l and receive the endorsement of this state for the nomination of any party | for President of the United States.
 The plan of the republicans who
 had seen the law was to put their candidate into the race at a time when there could not be other qualifications. This would have given this candidate the authority to i name the delegation to the national
 convention. a delegation which he could control and which would vote as he directed. It was pointed out
 that 14 votes, the number Alabama is allotted in the republican conven ton, might break a deadlock and bring a nomination.
