acute, Mrs. Adams turned her at
tention to that phase Of American
life. She was frequently called in
conferences by state and national
officials on problems affecting living
costs.
Many times she has been called
upon for talks before associations
Of housewives, clubs Of business
men and other organizations, on the
topic of living costs and how to re-
duce them. Her argument has al
ways been for the formation of as
sociations which should turn a
united strength toward the prob
lem and in which the members
should feel an acute responsibility.
"There have been about one thou
sand criminal prosecutions in the
United States in connection with the
high cost Of living" she told the San
Francisco Housewives League on
one occasion, "but, to my mind, the
best results are obtained through
associations in which each member
has the needed sense of personal re-
sponsibility. Elimination of nom
essentials is the crux of the problem,
to my mind, and the forcing of food
and clothing merchants to feature
inexpensive articles by consistent de-
mand for them"
Housewife and Lawyer
Mrs. Adams's advice to the house
wives came as combination of sug-
gestions from, the Department of
Justice and housewifely wisdom,
learned in her own home.
"Eat three meals a day of only
three courses each," she said. "Plan
meals ahead; buy seasonable and
plentiful food; watch the garbage
pail; use leftovers.
DO not eat between meals or eat
to excess; do not buy food at the last
minute. Do not buy food in small
lots, unless necessary"
/ Through the assistance Of Mrs.
Adams an organization known as the
Federal Fair Trade Committee for
San Francisco has been formed,
which has already accomplished no.
table work in combating proposed
price increases of food items. 1t is
an organization of business men,
recommended by Mrs. Adams, and
works in cooperation with the Fed
eral authorities to prevent further
price increases and bring down food
prices wherever possible.
In April, 1920, Mrs. Adams went
to Washington to confer on depart
mental matters with Attorney Gen
eral A. Mitchell Palmer, and while
there was admitted to practice in
the United States Supreme Court
Her admission was moved by Con-
gressman John E. Raker, with Chief
Justice Edward D. White presiding.
In recognition of ner new dignity
many honors were conferred upon
Mrs. Adams during her stay in
Washington. Senator James D.
Phelan, of California, who has been
stanch supporter Of Mrs. Adams
since her entrance into Federal legal
fields and has frequently enthu-
siastically indorsed her work, enter
tanned distinguished group in her
honor. The Women's Bar Associa-
tion Of the District of Columbia en-
tertained her, in addition to other
Women's organizations.
Later, when she visited New York
she was the guest of Judge Jean
Norris, the first woman to be ap-
pointed judge in the Magistrates
Court of New York City.
Her Important Duties
The duties that Mrs. Adams is to
assume in her new post as Assistant
New-York tribune., 1920-06-13
NNETTE ABBOTT ADAMS

nominated Dy freSloenC
Wilson as Assistant United
States Attorney General
after serving for nearly six years as
Assistant United States District At
torney in San Francisco, is living
contradiction of the theory that a
1oman who successfully fills a
position traditionally held by man
must eschew all feminine interests
and become a short-haired imitator
of the man who might be holding
the job.
Annette Adams is brilliant law
yer and charming woman; a prose-
cutor feared by criminals and re-
spected by the opposition, and a good
I cook She can untangle a knotty
problem and select becoming hat
with the same success.
Mrs. Adams's native town Is
Prattville, a small village in the
Sierra Nevada Mountains in Cali
fornia, where she was born in 1877.
Her father, an Ohio man who went
to the Far West in the days Of '49,
was at first a miner and later a mer-
chant. Her mother had been a
school teacher before her marriage.
Her early education was in the
California schools, including the
Chico Normal School and the Uni
versity of California, where she re-
ceived her B. L. degree in 1904.
Early Interest in Law
Mrs. Adams's father died when
she was only twelve years Of age,
and the cares Of the family estate de-
volved upon the mother. The little girl
became interested in the law through
frequently hearing her mother and
the attorney discuss the various
problems of administering the estate.
Financial reasons kept her from
following her ambition Immediate
ly after she had graduated from the
university, although she had al
ready read a good deal Of law in
private study. Like many girls who
must earn living, she turned to
school teaching, and was first a
country school teacher, then taught
in the high schools and, in 1907, be-
came principal Of the Modoc County
High School, remaining there until
1910, when she returned to the
University Of California to COM
plete her legal studies. She re-
ceived her degree in 1912 and was
admitted to the bar that same
year.
In partnership with Miss Mar
guerite Ogden, daughter of Judge
Frank B. Ogden, of Oakland, Mrs.
Adams opened law Offices in San
Francisco and engaged in private
practice until September, 1914,
when, at the recommendation of
John W. Preston, United States Dis
trict Attorney, she was named
fourth assistant in his Office.
At that time Attorney Preston
said:
''In recommending Mrs. Adams's
appointment l have considered pri-
marily her qualifications as a law
yer, which appear to be of the very
highest order. She also has more
Endorsements than any other appli-
cant for the Office, has been recon-
mended to me by all the leading
Democrats of California and has
been indorsed by every woman's
organization of the state"
Is Against Picketing
Mrs. Adams had the distinction
of being the first woman to be ap-
pointed to such position. Mrs.
Adams has defined herself as suf-
fragist, "but not of the picketing
variety, the cultivation of which is
rot encouraged in this part of the
New-York tribune., 1920-06-13

country, where women try to OBJ
serve the rules Of the game and
win or lose according to their tall
ents."
Eighteen months after her ap-
pointment Mrs. Adams's salary was
raised to the same figure as that
paid the two men assistants in the
office. She had been doing the
same work as the men, drafting
complaints, writing briefs, present
ing evidence to grand juries, argu-
ing dcmurrers and trying both civil
and criminal cases.
Gathered All the Evidence
Her great opportunity came in
1916 and 1917, when she conducted
the prosecution Of Franz Bopp, for
mer German consul-general at San
Francisco, who was convicted, IN
company with other defendants, Of
setting on foot military expedi-
tion against Canada and Of con-
spiracy to violate the Sherman act
in plotting to dynamite ships and
trains carrying ammunition to the
Allies. Bopp, Eckhardt Won Setback,
former German vice-consul; Viii
helm Won Brincken, former military
attacht of the German consulate
Charles C. Crowley, former secret
service operative for the German
consulate, and Margaret w. Cornell,
Crowley's secretary, were sentenced
to serve terms at McNeil's Island.
The men were also sentenced to pay
heavy fines.
Mrs. Adams spent an entire year
working on this case, which was
one Of the nationally known neu-
trality trials Of the war years. She
made an exhaustive study of the
many complicated legal angles, pre-
pared the indictments, and when the
first indictment was thrown out of
court upon attack by the defense
counsel. went undeterred to work
to prepare another, which should be
lawproof. All the evidence pre-
sented in support of the charges in
the indictment was gathered under
the personal direction Of Mrs.
Adams.
In addition, Mrs. Adams under
took the task of conducting the case
during a long illness suffered by
United States District Attorney
Preston, whose Office was charged
with the prosecution.
She presented the principal sum-
ming up of evidence for the gov
eminent in the Bopp case, the first
time in the history of Jurisprudence
that a woman had summed up a
case of such Importance before 8
jury. Her argument won her an
open compliment from the counse
for the defense, who declared that
her talk was "most able" and that
during the entire trial she had
showed "signal ability"
All that Mrs. Adams would say
when congratulation were showered
upon her, following her victory in
the trial, was that the case was her
twenty-frst, and that she must now
be "of age" in law practice.
In July, 1918, Attorney Preston
assumed the Office of Assistant
United States Attorney General
and Mrs. Adams was recommended
to succeed him as head of the
Northern District of California
Her appointment was duly made by
Judge William C. Van Fleet, as
senior Federal District Judge, in the
northern California district. and in
August of the same year was con.
firmed by the Senate, following
President Wilson's approval of the
choice.
In 1919, when the high cost of
living problem first began to be

Professional Women Need Not Forego
Their Feminine Interests Says Mrs. Adams

United States Attorney General will
give her charge Of tax and customs
laws, the war risk, pure food, quar-
antine and Adamson acts, and su-
pervisory control over the Federal
prisons.
Although, as a United States at
torney, Mrs. Adams has not taken
an active part in political campaign
ing for some years, she Is keenly in
terested in political affairs, espe-
cially as they pertain to women.
When the California suffragists were
conducting their long and success
full battle for the vote. Mrs. Adams
was one Of tho most steadfast sup
porters Of their cause.
Her suffrage beliefs have always
been Of the sane and progressive
type that decry sensational methods,
picketing, heckling and the like. The
fact that the California women won
their campaign without the use of
such tactics was cited by Mrs. Adams
in support Of her contention that it
was not necessary for women to re-
sort to sensationalism in order to
win the desired victory.
Mrs. Adams also takes an interest
in club organization, although her
busy life has left her small time for
club membership or attendance.
She is frequently called upon to
| address club meetings of both men
and women, and has appeared on
several important occasions at the
University Of California, her own
college.
Among her colleagues and those
who have had professional dealings
with her, Mrs. Adams is highly re-
garded for her business-like methods
and her efficient manner of handling
big problems. Her Office in the San
Francisco Federal building is a
plainly furnished, strictly business
office, the most conspicuous feature
huge desk which is always covered
with legal documents, reports, tele-
grams and other items, indicating
that it is the workshop of a very
busy individual.
Mrs. Adams has the gift of doing
things quickly and with the least
possible disturbance. She is quite
capable of looking over a brief, an
swering the telephone and talking
to an interviewer at the same time,
with equally satisfactory results in
all cases.
Little Time for Society
Being very busy woman, Mrs.
Adams has scant time for social
activities, but she finds a spare mo-
ment now and then to be with her
friends, who are many. She has
always retained an interest in the
affairs of her college, the University
of California, and occasionally at
tends college function. At the
university she was a member of the
Delta Delta Delta sorority.
In her work as prosecutor Mrs.
Adams has won a reputation for
calmness and poise that never leaves
her. Even in such a vitality i'm
portant case as the Franz Bopp
neutrality trial, the first big case
placed in her charge after she as
sumed Federal Office, she maintained
her quiet calm through the exciting
scenes of the prosecution and the
responsibility of handling a case in
which the foremost lawyers of the
Pacific Coast were associated.
In spite Of the many honors con-

to emphasize the fact that in spite

her ability to cook.

ferred upon her and the high posi-
tion she has won so early in her
career, Mrs. Adams is reluctant to
talk about herself. Her biography,

paragraphs touching only the out
