Stephens Asks Action in Effort to
Acquire Athletic Field.

Corporation Counsel Stephens to-
day recommended to Engineer Com
missioner Bell that an appeal be taken
from the recent decision in the Dis
trict Supreme Court, dismissing a con-
demnation proceeding for the acquisi-
ton of land lying between Thirty
eighth, Thirty-ninth, S streets and
Reservoir road for an athletic field for
Western High School. The court held
the location of an athletic field would
be inconsistent with the zoning of
that area.
Another conference probably will
be held, however, between Col. Bell
and Assistant Corporation Counsel
Wilkes, who is in direct charge of the
case.

Gen. Lord and his advisers and ex-

take the preliminary estimates one at
a time and fix the maximum amount
below which the regular estimates for
the department or establishment must
be fixed to come within President
Coolidge's plans for the next fiscal
year.
Time of Task Varies.

detail, will be due from September 1

FEZ, French Morocco. July %
The period of relative calm which has
existed the last few days along the
Franco -Riffian battlefront is showing
signs of coming to an end. The
enemy now appears to have com
pleted regrouping of his forces and is
beginning to renew his activities.
Thus far these have only taken the
shape of raids on the villages of
tribes friendly TO the Sultan of
Morocco and the French, which have
been burned, and attacks on French
conveys.
There seems to be no doubt that
the Riffian leader, Add -el -Krm, in
tends to try to make up for the lack
of success of his drive toward Fez,
which was broken at Ain Aicha and
Ain Matouf, by an attack on even a
larger scale against OueZzan before
the arrival of the French reinforce
ments.
French Getting Aid.
At the same time the Riffians are
strengthening certain points along the
center, notably at Djebel and Amer
gou, in the Fez-eI-Bali region. The
Bouaissa post is closely pressed by
lne trlpeSfnen, so that IL has to be
supplied with provisions and muni-
tions by airplanes. On the east mill
tary activities are at a standstill.
The Tsouls and Branes tribes
which recently displayed an inclina-
ton to throw in their lot with the
French, seem to have been won over
by the skillful propaganda of Abd-el-
Krim.
Marshal Petain, who for more than
a week has been investigating the
position of the French army in
Morocco, is now in Tetuan, Spanish
Morocco, where before his return to
France he will engage in discussions
with Gen. Primo de Rivera, head of
the Spanish military directorate, con-
corning Franco-Spanish collaboration

BORDER
IS ANDREWS AIM
Motorized Patrol Appeals as
Best Method of Shutting
Out Liquor.
By the Associated Press.


In furtherance of his basic plan to
choke off the liquor supply at its
source, Assistant Secretary Andrews
of the Treasury proposes to erect a
line of defense on the north and
south borders that will dovetail in
with the interior prohibition organi-
zation.
The Assistant Secretary began CON
sideration today of plan to reinforce
the customs service border patrol to
take care of the new defense areas.
He had on his desk reports from all
border collection officials. each giving
suggestions and recommendations for
meeting their particular problems.
Mr.. Andrews apparently is committed
TO a completely motorized border pa
troll system.
Treasury officials have estimated
that the Government loses between
SO 900. 900 and S15.000,0 900 a year
through smuggling, and the plans are
intended to prevent the illegal entry
not only of liquor, but of many ar
ticles of merchandise on which tariff
duties are levied, as we'll as the SNUG
Cling of narcotics and aliens.
Long Stretches Unguarded.
Long stretches of the American bor-
der now are unguarded, because of the
slim number of cuStotmS agents who
can be assigned to the Dakota, Mon
tana, Idaho and Washington areas. as
we'll as along the Rio Grande and
southern California districts.
On the north, the smuggling of
wheat and cattle has in the past been
serious problem.
While Mr. Andrews was engaged in
his study, the board of temperance.
prohibition and public morals of the
Methodist Episcopal Church issued a
statement declaring the Assistant Sec
retary was a friend of prohibition be-
cause he is the enemy of lawbreak-
ing"
The board held that every United
States official, whether connected with
the prohibition unit or the Federal
courts, every investigating officer,
every prosecuting attorney, every
United States commissioner. every
United States marshal, should be a
supporter of the American policy of
liquor suppression"
Mellon Attitude Liked
Although declaring Secretary Mel
lon, because of his associations and
his interest in the whisky business in
former years" was not considered by
the board as the proper person to be
in charge of enforcement, the board
said there was "circumstantial evil
dence" that he was following a policy
of absolute non-interference and of
sympathetic support of his subordi-
mates charged with enforcement of
the Volstead act"
The assertion that prohibition is
having it's last trial. was secuted by
the board, which said prohibitionists
would fight on until satisfactory en-
forcement was obtained.

ROME, July % (Via Paris, July 29).
A recrudescence of Fascist violence
is feared by the pro-Fascist Catholic
newspaper, Corriere d'Italia, which
comments on the numerous instances
OF clubbing and burnings perpetrated
by the Fascist cotemporaneously
with the official demand that the cor.
respondent of the Chicago Tribune
leave Italy.
Some fear that an intensified regime
of intimidation and suppression of
the truth is indicated by these in
cidents. The official organ of the Vati-
can, Osservatore Romano, says:
Unfortunately the bellicose dis
courses of Farinacci secretary of the
Fascist party) coincide with a vigorous
recrudescence of violence. Besides an
attack. on deputy Amendo.a, we are
informed of other similar attacks in
which Catholic groups were the vic
tins.
Clubs Wrecked.
In Alife, in Piedmont, a Fascist
parade, unprovoked, invaded the Cath
olic club, God and Fatherland,
smashing the furniture, pictures and
windows. The under-prefect upon re-
ceiving protests expressed surprise
that these facts were not known to
him. This is not surprising, inasmuch
as the commissary of public safety,
who reported to the under-prefect, was
the leader of this Fascist expedition.
ION the 21st, the clubrooms of the
Saint Marius Club were invaded and
everything smashed. The same thing
happened at the Saint Domino Club,
where the door was broken in and the
furniture and pictures were smashed.
This invasion was preceded by a num-
ber of revolver shots to intimidate the
population.
The following night, Fascist squad

lie club Silvio Pellico, burning the fur
