George Tunstall has been arrested
several times in recent months for
a similar offense.
The four men are alleged to have
gone to Mexicali where they loaded
up one car with alleged Intoxicating
liquors. The men, however, We're
caught by Mexican officials and ar
rested on charge of transporting
Intoxicating liquors without the nee
essary permit. They were all day
in managing to regain their freedom.
In the meantime the customs Of
ficials learned something of the al
legged plans of the men and when the
car, designated as liquor laden
crossed the line, piloted by another
machine the officials began trailing
them. The men, however. are be
lieved to have become aware that
they were being followed and the
pilot car dropped back of the other
machine and attempted to keep it
from passing while the other ma
chine was speeded up.
A shot from one of the offio ials
which passed through fender caus-
ed the driver of the pilot car to
clear the road and chase after the

men were rounded up. 1t is be-
lieved that several charges will be

OFFICERS WRECK
ELABORATE STILL
NEAR LOCKWOOD
Operators Escape After
Long Chase Across the
Desert.

G. W. Evans, deputy sheriff, and
Patrolmam Quick Of the Brawley
police department, discovered and
wrecked an elaborate still on the
desert, three miles Northwest Of
lockwood last night. Four mon,
seen in the vicinity and believed to
be the owners Of the still and liq-
ours found by the officers, manag-
ed to make good their escape.
The officials have been searching
for the still for several weeks and
not until yesterday were they able
to locate the place. \ hunter had
supplied the Officers with a map,
showing them the location of the
still. It was located out in the des-
crt some distance from the under
brush in which the Officers had di-
rccted previous searches. The men
had used horses, it was discovered
t" pack the Illicit liquor IL n point
where automobiles could be used.
The officers were ON foot in the
search and had tramped about two
miles toward the place when they
saw two men. They followed TIE
men and each time they were hi |
den from view ram to get closer bat
the men were apparently applying
the same tactics for after each ridge
that offered shelter had been pass
ed the men were further away.
Men Escape
Inv
other men a few minutes later and
then the chase began in earnest,
the officers dashing after them.
The men, however, took advantage
Ct a sluice to get out of sight and
being still too far away for rcvol.
Yer play when they disappeared
the officers were hclnlcss.
Giving up the pursuit the offic.
ers went to the place where the still
was located nearby. They found Il
still of 75-gallon co"~ city, between
600 and 700 gallons of mash and d
huge quantity of liquor. A three
gallon demiiohn filled with the
Liquor was confiscated and the still
and liquors DESTROYED. The officers
had no way of bringing II back tc
lockwood as evidence. A few
parts of the still were, however
seized by the officers to offer as
evidence.
Although the men escaped, it i.
believed that two of them have
been definitely identified. The men
in fleeing left two coats behind
them and papers found in the coats
have given the police clcw as 'c
the identity of the men.

NEUTRAL
ZONE IS
PROPOSED.
Two Suggestions Made
By Chinese Factions for
Safety of Foreigners.
NEITHER ACCEPTED
Strong British and Yank
Forces at Shanghai are
Ready to Protect Lives.
By LUDWELL DENNY
nited Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. = With
10000 American lives menaced by
the Chinese civil war and anti-for
studying reported Chinese suggest
ions for creating a neutral zone at
Shanghai, the foreign center.
Twenty-Five American war YES
sells concentrating on Shanghai have
been ordered to protect the 5000
Americans there. Great Britain Is
sending vessels and soldiers to pro
tcct her nationals.
But the Washington administra-
tion is of the opinion that use OF
foreign arms. even when absolutely
necessary, may further complieate
the already difficult problem of fu-
ture foreign treaty and trade rela-
tons in China.
Therefore this government would
welcome an agreement between the
contesting Chinese forces to place
Shanghai, the chief foreign and
trading center entirely outside the
fighting zone.
Such action, it is believed, might
obviate the necessity of landing for
eign troops or evacuating foreigners.
Two informal proposals are re-
ported in Shanghai. One, attributed
to Chang Kai Shek, Cantonese com
mander, proposes that the city be
declared neutral zone under joint
civil administration of foreigners
and Cantonese. The other, attributed
to former Premier Wang and anoth-
err Cantonese agent, proposes that
the internal government of Shan
ghai remain us it is, but that the
conservative commander, , n
withdraw all of his troops to a point
% miles from the city, where the
Cantonese can attack without men
acing the foreigners.
Would Welcome Plan
The first proposal could not be
accepted by the state department
because it would mean turning
Shanghai over to Cantonese civilian
authorities.
In the absence of any official Of
fer the department will not com
ment on the second proposal, but
there is good reason to believe that
Washington officials now worrying
over protection of Americans would
embrace it with a sign of relief.
Meanwhile the administration is
watching for any signs that Chang
Kai Shek, southern commander, and
Chang Tso Lin, northern war lord.
will react to the Kellogg statement
on China by attempting to agree on
iCint delegates to meet the United
States to negotiate new treaties.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The
navy today prepared to send 1900
marines from San Diego. Cal, to
Guam Island, in the Pacific, where
they would be available for quick
use in an emergency in China, it
was learned at the navy depart
ment.
Sailing orders for the marines are
expected in n few days.
This will more than double TIL,
number of United States marines in
