sion of crime and the improvement of criminal administration.
 This matter now rests entirely with the officers of the state who are charged with law enforcement" says the report, and the law-abiding citizens of Ala bama who are and always will be an im- portant factor in law enforcement and good government"
 MT. Smiths report covered the period between October 1, 1918, and September 90, 1920. He has been in office since the middle of January, 1919, therefore the report covered short periods while F.. Lloyd Tate and Emmet s. Thigpen were attorney generals.
 LIQUOR CASES LEAD
 Violation of the prohibition laws was the predominating offense during the last two years. During the period 10,607 pros cautions were disposed of, of which Z,6lS were for violations of the prohibition laws Of the total number of cases filed, 56S9 resulted in convictions and l,Sls in acauittals. while 497 were abated or with drawn and 3,095 were thrown out of court at the request of the state.
 Mir Smith commented on the large number of cases not tried or in which acuuittals resulted with the following statement Regard and respect for the laws come not so much from the severity but from the certainty of punishment Defendants in 4,SS1 cases during the last two years were either not tried or were acquitted. It hardly seems reasonable that so large a number of prosecutions could be instituted without sufficient tes- tlmony to convict
 Comparisons with previous reports show that during the last two years the num- her of prosecutions disposed of was 2,Soo more than the number disposed of dur ing the two years from 1916 to 1915 and 12.972 less than the number disposed or during the years from 1914 to 1916.
 Attorney General Smith stated that practically every provision of the prohi- bition laws passed by the legislature m 1919 has been upheld by the supreme oourt and court of appeals, and ''it is new only question of proper enforce ment of said laws by the various of- tieers charged with this duty.

CORCORAN'S DEATH

Investigation of Murder
American Citizen
Ry The Associated Press

LAREDO, Texas, March 23.-ln-
vestigation Of the death of Ray A..
Corcoran, an American, who was shot
and killed by clerk in his office at
the Santa Gertrudis mine at Pachuca,
Mexico, of which he was superintend-
ent, has been made by representa-
tive of Excelsior, Mexico City news
paper.
The slayer, named lbarra, was in
censed because he had been dis
charged from the company's employ,
the newspaper says, after he had
taken a leave of absence in the face
Of instructions to continue at work.
"Some fellow-workmen sympathized
with him. the newspaper continues,
"and apparently gave him bad advice,
for he returned to the office and shot
Corcoran through the back"
Ibarra was arrested and is held at
the Pachuca jail. The Excelsior said
there lis much public Indignation
over the affair, and it is generally
believed Ibarra should receive the ex-
treme penalty as warning against
other noxious elements of society,"
Corcoran's wife was in Laredo at
the time he was shot. The body later
was brought here for interment.

YOUNG GIRL IS
STAR ACTOR in
NEAR TRAGEDY
Attired in Mems Clothes, She
Participated in Battle With
San Benit0 Posse

Attired in khaki trousers, boots
and sweater, pretty 15-year-old
American girl, married, said to be
the daughter of farmer near Rio
Hondo, is in the county Jail, in
Brownsville today charged with be-
ing implicated in a series of adven-
lures near San Benito Sunday
night that read much like moving
picture scenario, involving the al
legged theft of an automobile, with
two men companions, probably
youths, and a gun battle later with
officers.
The stolen automobile. with its
adventurous passengers, was cor
nered by possemen including Ber-
ME Goolsby, City Marshal w. 7.
Estes, Joe Taylor, Deputy Sheriff
Joe BaIlinger, Andy Huff and Ray
S. Wait, all of San Benito, in
lane about one mile east of Rio
Hondo. To escape the posse, the oc-
cupants Of the car found them
selves forced to run the gauntlet Of
bullets. which they did heedlessly,
exchanging shots with the officers
and possemen. The fleeing car was
struck several times, but so far as
known none of its occupants nor
any Of the Officers were injured.
In the chase that followed the
occupants of the pursued car, find
ing that they were being slowly bu
surely overhauled, abandoned the
automobile for the brush. 1t was
here that the girl, but supposedly
a man, was caught. The men, or
boys, succeeded in making their es-
cape and are still being sought by
officers.
The girl was taken by City Mar
shall Estes to his home in San Ben
ito. When the girl, assisted by
Mrs. Estes, had gotten into bed she
