FRANCE MAY GET

By JOHN w. DE GANDT

PARIS, Sept. 3.-The possibility
of French intervention in Moroc
go is seen here ;oday as result of
the resent serious setback by Span
ish larmies which for two years have
been waging unsuccessful warfare
.againSl5 the hostile Riff tribesmen.
Diplomatic authorities are frank
fy concerned over the situation in
the Spanish Moroccan domain.
French officials believe that in
view of Spain s failure to preserve
order, revision of the treaties of
1906 and under which Spain occu-
pied the country might be the best
solution. A French protectorate is
contemplated.
It is admitted,s however, that
France and England could hardly
initiate negotiations. Such an ac-
ton would be sure to cause fric-
ton in Madrid where the present
government, headed by the dictator
General Primo Rivera, nat
lrallv would not admit responsibili-
ty since this would mean the end
Of it's political life.
France is directly interested in
Spanish Morocco, as her own zone
is endangered by defeat of the
Spanish.

LARGEST LIQUOR RAID IN co. IS MADE
Arrest Alleged
Leader of Booze
Ring, 2 Others


One of the largest and most sue
cessful liquor raids ever staged i,
the Imperial Valley took place ear
~ yesterday evening when Sheriff
Charles Gillett, and .Undersheriff
Bert Underwood and Deputy Sher
ifs Sterling Oswalt, Bill O'Bryan
and Charles Verge, Brawley police
chief, swooped down ON three un
suspecting moonshiners a few miles
out of Brawley Authenticated three
of thes largest stillssever uncovered
in the county.
Henry Jenson, who owns the land
on which the still was found, and
G. Dorr, a Jap, who says he is the
owner of one still were arrested this
morning by Deputy @ Bryan near
Brawley. Dorr was arrested this
morning on the ranch while looking
over the ruins of his once largest
still in the county,, On being
questioned lis to who owned the still,
the Jap said that he did, and had
burned it because business was bad
and he didn' know how to make
good moonshine.
When Dorr was brought to the
Jail at Brawley he confessed and
pleaded guilty to thetcharge Of man
,lfaeturing liquor, and also implicat-
cd Henry Jenson as the man who
was at the head of the big liquor
ring in Brawley.
100 Gallon Still
Jenson is reputed to own large
area of land which he rents to Japs
and Mexicans for the purpose of
making moonshine SO that he can
reap harvest on their earnings.
After having received large sum
off money for leasing the ranch,
Jchson would turn around and have
the ranch raided so that the land
would automatically revert back to
him. Jenson is "a very 6 shady
dealr in lands and the authorities
have been looking for. a long time
for an opportunity to fix Irim for his
alleged Trainings on the leases of
his ranches.
The 40 barrels Of corn whiskey
and 700 gallons Of mash were burn
ed by the deputies on the ranches
and they caused flame that could
be seen for miles around.
One of the stills was found hid
den under haystack and it was so
large. that it took a 10 ton truck to
haul it to the county Jail. The other
two stills were brought. in on one
load. That the moonshiners were
not novices at the business was shown
by the fact that 40 cases of fruit
jars were found evidently for the
purpose of bootlegging the liquor so
as to camouflage their contents.
Sheriff Gillett stated this morn
ing that one of the still could pro-
dnce enough liquor in one week to
keep the whole town intoxicated for
a month, and that it was able to
make 100 gallons of moonshine a |
day. /

By FRARSER EDWARDS
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Sept. 3. = John w.
Davis, Democratic presidential can
didate, today set out to show the
west that he is Democrat in every
sense of the word.
This line of attack was adopted on
the advice of George Brennan, Dem
.ocratic boss of Illinois. Davis was
told that he cannot expect to carry
any of the western states unless he
creates the impression that he is
really man of the people.
SO far as the west is concerned
Davis was told, the Democratic ma
chine is intact and that La Toilette
is making greater inroads on the Re
publican party than the Democratic
party.
Leaders Encouraged
Davis will attempt to take ad-
vantage Of the situation in his MIDI
western speeches, the first of which
is at Omaha on September 6 on the
agricultural problems. This same
subject will be amplified in a speech
at Des Moines on September II.
Democratic leaders were greatly
encouraged as result of the Des
Moines date, which was arranged by
Edwin t. Meredith, former secre-
tary of agriculture.
With Meredith on the Davis band
wagon, leaders believe that thou
sands of Democrats who were dis
gruntled over the defeat of McAdoo
will return to the fold.
The campaign managers announc:
ed that Davis would deliver speech
at Bunceton, Mo-, or Kansas City, on
his way back from Denver. Davis
