NOT MUCH LIQUOR IS SHIPPED HERE Bootleg booze, bottled and in cases, is being shipped by boat into So. Calif., but little or none of it is coming into Orange co. Sheriff Jim Jernigan declared today, discussing the progress made in enforcing the Volstead act. If it is being peddled in the county, no evidence in the shape of bottles, etc., has been discovered, said the sheriff. It was a fortunate thing that the County still could use the services of the State Traffic officers continued Jernigan. These men formerly had been county police officers, and their service and experience still was at the county's command thru the aid of Director W. H. Marsh of the State Division of Motor Vehicles. These officers are charged with the enforcement of the State Motor Vehicles Act, but transporters of booze as often as not are guilty of offences which come under it, such as reckless driving, speeding, etc. Production of wines by the Mexicans may have increased, but not other liquor Jernigan believes. Asked whether he thought there was an organized traffic in liquor in the county, Jernigan said he didn't know.
