PHILADELPHIA, February T.
Phfladelphia's biggest bootlegger'

valued at more than $4,000 seized.
A few hours after Director Butler

treachery, graft and inefficiency and
told them he knew of the existence
of a bootleg king" with a fabulous
stock. police raided an old warehouse
in the downtown section and placed
its store of liquor under guard.
The StorehouSe, police said, was
rented by Jacob Carton, formerly
a Philadelphia brewer. but at presenk
a resident of Atlantic City. Carton
declared that the entire stock was in
his possession before the passage of
the prohibition amendment and that
his possession of it was legal He
said he would come to Philadelphia
today to protest the action of the
police.
Police declared that they were sure
the place had been in operation as a
distributing center for bootleg liquor.

coming and going continuously be-
fore the Butler regime. Search of

FRENCH TAKE STEPS
TO CHECK DIVORCES
Judges Are Instructed to Insist
on All Requirements of. Law
Being Met.
MOVE AIMED AT FOREIGNERS
DEGREES Granted Only on Grounds
; Recognized in Own Countries.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, February THE French
gternmeno is taking steps to make 1t
more difficult for foreigners to obtain
divorces in the French courts. At
the ins,. nee of Premier Poincare an
investigation has been going on for
the past two months into the seeking
of divorces and the granting of them
to foreign residents in France. and
circular has just been issued by
the minister of justice to the courts
setting forth new instructions with
respect to the law.
The circular implies no changes in
the law, but merely requires the
courts to follow the procedure more
strictly. insisting upon full accom-
plishment of all formalitiec. Hereto
fore cases where there was no op-
position and no question of the ,iquida :
tion of property vested Jointly in hus-
band and wife, as is invariably the
case in France. were dispatched by
the judge with great rapidity so
soon as he was satisfied there was
no chance of reconciliation and sutti-
grounds being grave affronts,'
which is so wide definition as to
offer no difficulties to the petitioner.
Procedure Is Expeditions.
As with Americans there is. no
question of Joint property. and op-
position is rare, the procedure is eX-
peditious. lasting about three months
about 1000 francs. Moreover. there
Is no publicity. as French newspapers
are permitted by law to publish only
the text of the final decree.
In the case of French people. where
property is involved the procedure
may drag for years. involving heavy
expense. 1t always has been the rule
of the French courts not to grant
divorces to foreigners unless DEGREES
could be obtained on the same
in the case of Maj. MacBride, whose
wife was Maude Come. the Irish
Joan of Arc" the Paris court refused
an absolute divorce. granting only
granted only separation. an act of
parliament being required to convert
the decree into a divorce.
Tried I'm Civil Courts.
There are no separate divorce
courts in France, such cases being
tried by judge of the civil tribunal
AS the cause list latterly has beer
heavily charged, there has been q
tendency on the part of the judges
to waste no time on cases presenting
no special features. Foreigners have
not been slow to take advantage of
the circumstances and it is under
stood that. with the object of OBJ
Waiting discredit falling on French

years. AS estimated by the Coal Trade

Arizona and the Rocky mountains
which cannot be prontably mined.
Also, the United States Is now supply

Early Day Oil Wells

Everybody thought Colonel Drake
had gone "clean crazy" when one day,
In 1850, he set forth to what later be-
came known as the OIL Greek region
In Pennsylvania ON his absurd quest
Of oil, Of which he knew nothing ex-
cept that 1t was the basis of a llni-
ment made by q New York firm Of
druggists.
With '"Tinecum BILL" a salt well
bOrer. as assistant, he put down his
first drill on the first Of July; and
the morning Of August 80, having left
the work the night before with the
drill down nearly seventy feet and
still no oil in sight, he found, to his
delight, that the well was full of oil.
Not long after brakes sensational
discovery, the Funk" well was gush-
ing forth at the rate Of one thousand
barrels q day, and Farmer Funk
found himself a millionaire within q
month. Soon the phillips" well on
the Tarr farm was sp0uting at the
rate Of two thousand barrels daily,
and gold was pouring into Jim Tarr's
Golfers at an amazing rate. And still
more romantic was the experience Of
the famous Goal Oil Johnny" and Of
Jim Sherman, who bought a lease Of
the Foster farm for $500. struck oil
almost Immediately, and within q few
years saw his $500 converted into
millions.
