JUDGE SCORES U.S. AGENT FOR TAKING DRINKS Asserts That Federal Official Is No Better Than Any- • one Else. A Federal prohibition agent was scored late Thursday In the court of Municipal Judge Paul C. Wetter during a clash between Bari Cox, attorney for Susan Dan, 35 S. West St., and Joe Rand Beckett, specidt district attorney, in a blind tiger trial. When Agent D. R. Sturgeon testified he purchased several drinks of liquor from the defendant, Cox alleged Sturgeon was intoxicated. “Why, when Beckett convicts defendants every day for drunkenness when the officers testify they only smelled liquor on their breath, then I say this agent was drunk,” Cox said. Prosecutor Beckett asked Judge Wetter if he was prejudiced in the case. “No, I’m not prejudiced, but a Federal agent is no better than any one else, and it is just as wrong for a Federal officer to take a drink as it is for you and me,” Judge Wetter replied. “1 believe every bootlegger should be in jail.” Wetter said, "but I don't believe that judges, attorney generals and Federal officers should drink to put them there.” Defendant received a suspended fine and sentence of SIOO and a month’s imprisonment.

VERA’S PLAY CENSORED “Ashes” Licensed for Production in Londkm. Bv Times Svecial LONDON, March s.—“ Ashes,” the play of the Countess of Cat heart, has been licensed by the censor for production in London. This followed an enforced revision of the play requested by friends of the Earl of Craven. The censor declared the second act could be set anywhere in the world but South Africa, where the Countess and the Earl eloped in 1922. Several passages regrading the lover and his mistress have been eliminated, and the passage where in the heroine accuses the other woman of leading an Immoral life because the latter is living with the first woman’s husband has also been cut. The name of the man in the play has been ordered changed from “Ray Haven,” on the ground that it resembles the name of the Earl of Craven.
