WOMAN ATTORNEY SETS RECORD FOR RUM CONVICTIONS Treat Them. Rough, Motto of Prosecutor at Ft. Worth. Bu XEA Service FT. WORTH, Texas, Aug. 19. Mrs. Sarah Cory Menezes is a quiet, soft-voiced assistant United States attorney for this' district; but for ail her air of a good-natured housewife she has put a most potent fear into the hearts of Texas bootleggers. She believes in treating them very, very rough. In addition, she is a competent attorney. Asa result, the liquor law violator who falls into her hands is in for some extremely tough sledding. She refuses to countenance tines for second offenders, but insists that they go to the penitentiary. And they do. Look at her record. Only One Acquittal In a reegnt two-weeks session of court she tiled fifty-seven liquor cases. Os this number, fifty-one convictions! were obtained, four cases were 'continued to permit the gathering of new evidence, there was one hung jury and one—just one—defendant got an acquittal. “There were nearly 100 men and women sentenced under these charges," she says. “And it is estimated tfhat every producer or distributor who is sentenced automatically stops scores of little pint possession cases." Policy Approver! Mrs. Menezes' “treat 'em rqygh" policy has the full approval of her superior, United States Attorney Henry Zweifel, and of United States Judge William H. Atwell, former exalted ruler of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, before whom all her case are tried. Mrs. Menezes won't prophesy as to whether people will eventually become educated to the fact that selling liquor illegally is unprofitable. She only remarks, "if they bring them up here we’ll put them where they won't continue making or selling the stuff.” I3 prohibition a success? Give It a Chance "Let's give it a fair chance,” she says. "If at the end of twenty-five years it is not working successfully it can be repealed by the people in the same way in which they enacted it. Less time than that would not be a fair try-out. "And while we are trying it, it is the duty of every American citizen not only to obserts* the law, but to assist in it enforcement, and this means the individualists and the lovers of personal liberty, of which I am one, as well as all the rest.” Happly Married. In addition to putting in eight hours a day in her office, Mrs. Menezes finds time to perform the duties of a housewife and is identified with that rapidly growing element which holds that women can be happily married and still engage in a career outside the home, In fact, she not only .believes it —she proves It. A native of Kansas, she got her legal education at the university of that State. She has made her home in Texas fm- several years and has been prominently identified with Republicans politice in this State.

HOWARD HONORED BY WORLD’S PRESS (Continued From Page 1) while expressing the keenest interest and sympathy in the work of the commission said it was 'Triable to send representatives because of the Soviet's boycott on all meetings held in Switzerland since the assassination of Vorowski, Soviet official, there. It was proposed that the commission first should consider the problem of achieving equality for all in the distribution of official news before discussing property rights In the news. The latter, it was said, could not bp settled until it first had been established that all agencies have equal rights to official news. Howard introduced the following motion: "Being convinced that the fullest and freest exchange of news between nations constitutes one of the surest guarantees of international understanding and friendly relations, as well as one of the most certain means for preventing those misunderstandings between nations and peoples which often lead to war, and whereas telegraphic news agencies at the present time perhaps are the greatest, as well as /the quickest, means for the exchange of news between nations, and whereas every facility thus accorded these agencies for the fulfillment of their national and international task constitutes a safeguard for the world's peace as well as the surest furtherance of those highest ideals of international understandings and collaboration that are the fundamental basis of the League of Nations; Equality Sought “Therefore, be is resolved, that all the governments of tlie world be requested to grant and to assure absolute equality of treatment to all telegraphic news agencies whether official or independent; ”1. In the matter of distribution of all official news; ”2. In the matter of priority or order of transmission of their telegrams; j ”3. Iff tre .matter of telegraph, telephone , ml cable rates; "4. Jn tl:c- matter of treatment by censor whenever an Internal or international situation in any couu try may render the establishment Os a censorship of press dispatches necessary.” It was decided that the executive committee would constitute a permanent body to maintain contact with ttie league after the present u*m mission adjourns. The present commission is the first us four to be convoked by the league. Others will be formed from government press bureaus, working journalists and groups of publishers The assemblages are to prepare the agenda of an. international press conference in 1927 which will be convoked under a resolution which Senator Yanez of Chile introduced in the assembly in 1925, insisting that the press constitutes one of the league's most powerful means of maintaining peace and promoting mutual understanding and friendly relations between nations.

TLLTELL PLENTY IN MELLETT CASE,’ SAYS EX-OFFICIAL i ' Further Revelations Bearing on Bootlegging Phase Expected. Du United Press CLEVELAND. Aug 19.—Further revelations concerning liquor traffic at Canton, where a grand jury is investigating the murder of Don R. Mellett, were promised today by Norman Clark, former police prosecutor, charged with conspiracy to violate the prohibition law. On his way to the Federal Bldg, here following his arrest at Canton, Clark promised to "tell plenty before this day is over.” The warrant for Clark's arrest was based on statement Mazer, held for liquor conspiracy and murder, and Carl Studer, charged only with liquor conspiracy, during their questioning Wednesday. They said Clark accepted $25 and two quarts of whisky in exchange for return of an automobile belonging to Mazer which had been confiscated in a liquor raid. The two alleged bootleggers turned on Clark when he had testified that Mazer threatened his life after Melleft's murder for "talking too much.” Federal authorities are expected to make further use of this wrangle among their three prisoners. Clark is the first one-time Canton official arrested in the Mellett although investigators have advanced the theory that bootleggers in league with certain authon’ies whom Mellett attacked editorially were responsible for his murder. While the liquor investigation continued under United States District Attorney A. E. Bernsteen, who announced Wednesday that Federal agents would thereafter concentrate on this angle of the case, the grand jury at Canton started hearing mur-

UNCOVER OLD SKELETONS Bones Appear to Have Been Burrled Over 200 Years. Bit United Press N SAN DIEGO, Cal., Aug. 19. Origin of twenty skeletons, uncovered by commercial excavators near here, is puzzling scientists. The absence of utensils and weapons near the bones led to the belief the spot was not an Indian burial ground. "The bones appeared to have been burled about 200 or 300 years and seem to be those of some European race,” said Dr. Wesley Bradfleld, associate director of the San Diego Museum. Years ago there was no clover In Australia, Now Australian farmers raise their own clover seed with imported bumblebees.
