former Representative Manuel
Herrick, So, of Oklahoma, is be-
ing held in jail here on a charge
of manufacturing whiskey as the
result of a raid on a still near
Leonardtown, Md, yesterday.
Herrick was taken into custody
at the still by Federal officers.
Herrick is alleged to have told
officers he had been employed as
an undercover agent and In
structed to 60 to work at the still.
Tended StiIl
He said that he was living
alone in a one-room shack and
was working as boiler tender at
IT, = still. Agents said he claimed
to be aware of other liquor ope-
rationS when arrested, but failed
to make good on his offer to
show them other stills,
A man by the name Of william
S. Airey and Pious B. Ennels,
colored, were arrested at the same
time. Airey was able to make
bond.
The raid on the still was made
by four prohibition agents who
cut their way to it after an all
night search.
During his single term in Con-
gress, Herrick was regarded as
an eccentric and picturesque fig
ure. He gave the Republican
leaders considerable worry by his
outbursts on the floor and was
not amenable to party discipline
Held Beauty Show
Although his autobiography de.
scribed Herrick as a farmer, the
discoyerer of "Herrick's golden
grain corn" a poultry raiser and
so on, Herrick had little use for
farm relief legislation, which
even as far back as that was

of Relief by Lantern Light;
Panic Reigns in Mexico Area

NOGALES, Ariz., Aug. 8 dN.SJ
The twin towns of Nogales, Ariz.,
and Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. to-
day were struggling to recover
from a disastrous flood which
left In its wake a toll of five
known dead, 40 persons missing
and 5000 residents Of the Mexi-
can town left homeless.
The five dead whose bodies
were recovered were MexicanS.
The only American casualties
were minor injuries suffered by
persons swept from their feet as
the flood, resulting from a cloud
burst, swept through the Arizona
town.
Rain Slows Aid
Relief workers were hampered
last night by another heavy down.
fall of rain. They worked by
lantern light, as the power plant
and electric light lines were seri-
ously damaged.
Chief Of Police Lowe, of No
gales, Ariz., was inclined to mini
n1ize reports that 40 were missing,
and said he knew of only 10 per-
sons IIaaccounted for. Checking
up was difficult because of the
panic and turmoil existing among
the MexicanS.
Children Swept Away
Mexican soldiers were digging
in the ruins of a house In Nogales,
Sonora, in search of three per-
sons reported buried there, and
reports of children being S1atched
away by the waters were num-
erouS. Most of the MexicanS took
refuge in the mountain slopes
surrounding the cities.
Mayor Harry Karns, of NogaleS,
Ariz., estimated that the damage
here would amount to $25, 1000,
while in the Mexican town it
might reach a total of 500, 900.
The light construction of houses
on the Mexican side, many Of
which were built of adobe, was
given as the cause of the greater
damage there.
$4,000 Is Asked
During the flood, the water in
[ the streets attained q, depth of
. five feet. In the American town
the city hall. chamber of COM
merce building, newspaper plants
and other business structures
were damaged.
Relief work was being directed
by Mayor KarnS, American Legion
Officials and the Rec Cross. Eff

Mexican town, and 1oocal mer-
chants contributed food, ;upplies.
Blankets were sent from the
