OBREGON'S TROOPS
 CLAIM SUCCESSES
But De La Huerta Represen- tatiVeS Disputes Story Of
 Rebel ReVerSeS

WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.-Official dispatches to the Mexican embassy today claimed many conquests by the government troops in widespread fighting with the rebels of the De La Huerta faction who were said to be facing starvation.
 Federal troops have forced the enemy out of Panzacola and have lodged themselves in the suburbs of Puebla, the official messages claim ed, and some of the troops captured by the government forces have asked permission to take up arms against the instruction.
 Government troops are advancing in Jalisco state. repairing the rail- way. as they progress; in Vera Cruz state, General Martinez, commanding the federals, has made further gains and has pinched the enemy out of Maltrata.
 The embassy's dispatches described the rebellion as in a poor financial condition, needing supplies and liv ing on exactions from the natives in the territory through which they pass.
 The De La Huerta representative in Washington, F. Gonzalez Gante, disputed the claims of the recog- nized government. He produced dis patch from the foreign minister" of his faction, denying that De La Huerta had sued for peace and claim ed complete success for the military side of the rebellion so far as op eratIons have gone.

Investigation Probable

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Congress threatens to become curious as to how citizens of Washington, includ- ing high government officials, are getting their liquor. With local po- lice and dry agents starting booze cleanup in connection with holiday liquor, the congressional curiosity may extend to the point of an official investigation.
 Aroused by reports that the names of cabinet members, congressman and other government officials had been found on the customer. list" of captured bootlegger, but were sup pressed by local authorities, Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas, author of the eighteenth amendment, declared today he would ask Congress to com pei their publication.
 'If government officials are pat ronizing bootleggers, the country should know it." Sheppard declared.
 Thirteen arrests, which included three young women, were made after weeks of patient preparation by the police and dry agents. Almost sim ultaneously, a squad of dry agents descended on the residence of bachelor foreign diplomat in the fashionable northwest section of the city, armed with search warrants, and seized his private store of liquor. Now it is reported that the names of 1400 of Washington's elite. including government officials, were on a list of customers, taken when the arrests were made.

CIVIL GOVERNMENT
 FOR SPAIN PROBABL.E E
Decree Modifying Character Of
 Military Directorate Published

PORT VENDRES, Franco Spanish Frontier, Dec. 22.-(By Associated Press)-Publicatio today in the official gazette of the decree modi- flying the character of the military directorate was taken in political circles as the first step toward rein troduction of & civilian government in Spain.
 A corps of civilian advisers or un- der-secretaries of state Is formed to administer the various government departments, but by the terms of the decree the directorate as a super vislrg body will have the final word regarding any measures taken by these under secretaries.
 Although the preamble of the de- cree affirms that the existing state of things has the approval of the entire nation and the support of the whole press. many quarters, both political and military, are inclined to doubt the exactness of such 8 state- ment.
 Some clements in the army are un- derstood to qualify considerably directorate, which they consider does not represent the opinion of the army itself, while the various politi- cal groups, whether conservative or liberal, regard the present conditions as uncomfortable, arguing that na- ton such as Spain cannot continue without the voice of the people be- ing allowed to express itself.
 The situation in Spain remains for though it is known that several of the political bodies are busily dis cussing what attitude they shall shall take.

Urges Secretary Cotton Reporting SeUice
BOOTLEG RAID IS MADE AT CAPITOL
(Continued from Page One)

added that the prosecutions would be brought under the conspiracy clause of the Volstead act, which makes purchasers of liquor guilty along with those from whom they buy.
 Meantime another ramification of the case caused much consternation in quite another quarter. It was dis covered that a part of the stock from which the liquor was being supplied, according to police reports, was under the protection Of one Of the foreign legations. When a seizure was attempted, a member of the le- gation staff protested that the goods were immune under the diplomatic privileges accorded the representa- lives of foreign governments. The result was a protest by the metro politan police department to the state department, whose officials de- clined to say anything for publica- tion.
 Like the names on the list of cus- toners, the identity of the legation suspected of contributing to the sup ply was kept in confidence. The news travelled quickly through the diplomatic corps, however, which, twice before, has been stirred by police charges of leak" of diplo- matic liquor into bootleg channels Raid Well Timed.
 The raid on the bootleg ring yes- terday was timed to coincide with completion of the bulk of the Christ mas liquor deliveries, placing in the hands of the police an unusual out lay of fresh evidence. More than 2500 names were on the list con- fiscated at the syndicates headquar- ters in a downtown office building, and at the same time the raiding officers took possession of the key to a secret code for Identification both of customers and various varie- ties of wet goods. More than dozen arrests of those said to be partners or employees of the syndicate all ready have been made and more are promised.
 Whether the presence of the names of buyers on the list, together with the confessions now held by the po- lice, will be sufficient to make a conspiracy case against liquor con- sumers is a question which even the district attorneys office does not at tempt to answer finally. Heretofore attempts to base charges on such lists have failed in the face of de- nials by the principals. Should the present attempt be carried through. it may set a precedent which, will be of value in prohibition enforce ment throughout the entire country.
