i. s. SENDS FORCE
TO NICARAGUA PORT
Two GunboatS Dispatched at
legations Request in Ma
tionaI Turmoil.

The gunboats Tulsa and Denver are
proceeding from Panama to the ports
of Corinto and Bluefields, Nicaragua,
respectively, as a precautionary meas
ure thought necessary by the Ameri-
can legation in Nicaragua due TO the
disturbed political situation in that
country.
No landing operations are in con-
temptation, as no American lives or
property have been actually en-
dangered.
The situation in Nicaragua is uncer-
tain, however, because of the recent
military coup, in which all but the
conservative members of the cabinet
were ousted from office and liberal
leaders We're compelled to fee.
The constitutional government is
functioning with the conservative off,
cials only on duty. No fighting or
other disorder has been reported.
The American legation has taken
the position, however, that it would
be desirable to have warships avail
able at each Of the chief ports in
the event the political situation takes
a more serious turn.
Each of the gunboats carries a force
of marines in addition to its blue jacket
complement. If there is a landing, it
will be undertaken only after con-
ference with Washington.

RIF'FIANs ARE CRUSHED.
French Regain Territory Once Lost
in Smashing Attack.

FEZ, French Morocco, September
IL R.-Marshal Petain, commander
of the French forces operating against
the rebellious Moorish tribesmen, is
reported to have won in brilliant
fashion his first attack in the big Of
fensive against the followers OF ADD
el-Krim, the Riffian war lord.
Yesterday in less than eight hours
his troops had reached all the points
which had been made their detectives
along the Ouergha River and had gone
on beyond them. The groups of the
French troops operating from Ter
roural and Tafrant are now well es-
ta.blished in the Benz Zeroual coun-
try. Those from Tafrant, notwith-
standing the exceptionally difficult
terrain, reached the territory of
Djebel Ifran.
The guiding principle of Marshal
Petain's plan is to get across the
Ouergha and well settled on the hills,
so that he can lay roads and con-
struct bridges within the three weeks,
perhaps two weeks, when the rainy
season will begin, as otherwise the
fighting would have to be brought to
a standstilI, since it is impossible to
operate in the valleys after mid
October.

.M|TCHELL'S CASE
BEING EXPEDITED
Gen. Kinds Report Awaited.
Moffett Calls Charges
False and SIander.

The War Department is awaiting a
report forwarded by Maj. Gen. Ernest
Kinds, Sth Corps Area commander,
which is understood to advance to a
more important stage its procedure in
determining whether Col. William
Mitchells attack against the Army and
Navy Air Service administrations
calls for disciplinary action.
The department, as the first step in
the necessary routine in such cases,
is seeking to obtain Col. Mitchelfs
formal acknowledgment Of his pub
lished charges, and the officers stated
at his San Antonio post yesterday
that he had given this last Tuesday
before Gen. Kinds forwarded his re
port Thus, If the report contains the
required facts, the proposed trip to
San Antonio of Col. George A. Nugent
assigned to investigate the matter
will not be necessary to bring II to
the next stage of development.
With the case thus being expedited
through War Department channels
President Coolidge has let 1t be known
that he intends to await developments
there without personally intervening
believing the case one to be dealt
with under Army regulations.
Emphatic defense of the Navy and
it's Air Service administration Is made
in a statement by Rear Admiral VIII.
liam A. Moffett, chief of it's Bureau of
Aeronautics, who, without mentioning
the name of Col. Mitchell, declared re-
cent charges against them were false
and a slander on their personnel"
Il am ready to disprove these
charges by testimony under OATH" he
said. 1T is no longer a question as
to aviation and the best weapons for
national defense, but whether truth
honor, loyalty and respect for con
stituted legal authority shall prevail. .

In CLEANING UP PHILADELPHIA

Special Dispatch to The star.

Speclal Dispatch to The star.
PHILADELPHIA. September 12.-
Director Butler has reached the con-
clusion that he has failed in his efforts
to enforce the prohibition laws here.
The director pointed out today that
the percentage of convictions as com
pared with the number of arrests Is
almost not worth noting.
The fact that of $3.50 persons ar
rested in saloons and speakeasies this
year only 212 were convicted proves
that liquor law enforcement in this
city is virtually stopped" said Direc-
tor Butler.
His conclusion was based upon a
comparative statement of arrests and
convictions for the first eight months
of 1925, prepared by the police at his
order and released yesterday
THE result" said the director,
clearly shows that enforcement
hasn't amounted to a row of pins
after the arrests were made"
Gen. Butler reiterated his statement
that he would return to the Marine
Corps on January J..
There is no question about my 60
ing" he said Il am a military Off
Ger. My leave expires on December
81, and | am under orders to report
for duty.
I'm the light of what has happened
while l have been here, Philadelphia
seems to me like an opulent sick old
man who went hunting for specialist
to cure him. Two or three weeks ago
my commanding officer announced
that I would return to the Marine

expressed any regret. with one excep-

dens and an assistant within a month.
Judge T. j. Lynch, before whom
Druggan must answer an indictment

arraigned despite all claims of illness.
Druggan went back to the Jail hos
pital last night when an afternoon in
an isolated cell gave him stomach
pains" Newspaper men found him,
clad in purple silk pajamas, with a
reading lamp and half a dozen books
in a soft, clean bed.
Yesterday Capt. George Weideling,
head Of the county highway police,
was named warden to replace Thomas
Brockmeyer, charged with holding a
newspaper man while Druggan beat
him about the head and face.
Brockmeyer had been warden three
weeks, succeeding Wesley Westbrook
when an investigation was started
into Druggan's nightly trips from the

ferred today with Acting Police

he would issue a bulletin to pa
trolmen to enforce the lawn-sprink-
ling regulations for the remainder of

The regulation provides that dur
Ing July, August and September

CHICAGO, September 12-Senator
Borah Of Idaho predicted yesterday
that the next Congress would conduct
n inquiry into aviation policy, with
particular reference to the charges of
Col. Mitchell. He was here en- route to
Washington.
col. Mitchell. I am inclined to think,
is correct in his attitude for consolida-
ton of all our national aviation prepa-
rstions. To me 1t seems logical that
the entire Air Service be combined un-
der a separate management by ex-
ports"
Senator Borah's speculations as to
how the Air Service might be more ef-
ficiently administered brought him to
the general conclusion:
Amy bureau in Washington starts
without intelligence and ends without
conscience. So 1t really does not make
much difference. The tendency of a
bureau is to sterilize and to conform
~ a perfectly routine system. That is
me evil of bureaucratic government.

were sos convinctlors: in 1924 there
were 1850, and this year only 212.
The figures can explain them
selves" Gen. Butler said. They are
given out so the public can draw
any conclusions it wishes"
Director Butler said that 40 per
cent less property was stolen here
during the first eight months of this
year than in the corresponding period
of 1928, before he came to Phila
delphia. There were $50 hold ups in
that period and only 215 thus far
this year. he said.
The value of automobiles stolen
In this city in the first eight months
of 1928 was $1,055,000 greater than
the value of machines stolen thus far

now, Director Butler said, there were
1924 arrests on charges of drunken
ness and disorderly conduct during
the first eight months of 1928 and
only 1,034 this year

FEZ, French Morocco, September
12.-Amyot, capital of the territory of
the Beni-Zeroual tribesmen, has been
captured by the advancing French
armies converging from Teroual and
Tafrant
Both the French wings resumed
their advance at daylight. They en-
countered only isolated resistance, pre-
sumably because Abd-el-Krim is with
drawing men from the French front
to strengthen his lines against the
Spaniards.
The Spanish success in landing
troops in Alhucemas Bay is declared
to have greatly affected the tribesmen.
Spanish Force Advances.
MADRID, September IL CP).-The
latest communique issued by the war
Office dealing with the operations in
Morocco says the Spanish forces fight
ing the rebels in the Tetuan region
have been reinforced and have won
advantageous positions and thus di-
minished the enemy's resistance. The
Spanish casualties in the fighting are
given as 35 and those of the rebels as
500 men killed. The statement follows:
reinforced units continue their opera
tions and have gained advantageous
positions, diminishing the enemy's re-
sistance. A native prisoner who
escaped from the rebels reports that
the Moors are withdrawing large num-
bers Of their casualties from the front,
including dead and wounded.
''In the Ell Araish sector columns
comm snded by Col. Boloix and Col.
Garcia, operating with French forces
came in contact with the Riffians.
The rebels left five dead on the field
and two prisoners in the hands of the
Spaniards.
More Troops Loaded.
"On the Alhucemas front war ma
terial and troops from Melilla con-
tinue to be landed. Native spies re-
port that the rebels are disconnected
over the landing Of the Spaniards.
They mistrust Abdel-Krim and the
Rifffan leader, owing to this fact, has
had to abandon his residence at Ajdir
and withdraw some IL kilometers to
the south Of the Nekor River.

enormity of the casualties he has suf-
fered in the Tetuan region. There are
