DISTILLERY

____

    Declared by Federal prohibition agents to be the largest illicit liquor plant discovered in Southern California in recent months, a three-story warehouse at 150 North Los Angeles street was raided early yesterday morning.
    A list of the confiscated paraphernalia included 17,250 gallons of mash, 345 fifty-gallon barrels, three 250-gallon stills, a large quantity of raw whisky, and several sacks of sugar and other material.
    According to the Federal agents, they found Harry Greenberg operating one of the stills. Greenberg was taken into custody and is held on several charges of violation of the prohibition laws. It was intimated that other arrests will be made in connection with the raid.
    The government officers declared the plant had probably been in operation about six weeks, and was capable of turning out 1100 gallons of whisky per day.
    Shortly after the raid, Chief Field Agent Wynkoop obtained a warrant for the arrest of Harry Cohen, a political figure in the Boyle Heights district, according to the Federal agents. It is charged by the Federal agents that Cohen was one of the chief backers of the liquor plant.
    Agents under Wynkoop also arrested Ray Garland yesterday in a raid on a house at 1662 West Twelfth street. They stated they found twelve cases of beer in the place and that Garland was serving it in old-fashioned steins. There were several young men and women in the place at the time but they were permitted to go free.
