was approached by a lawyer some

was no direct talk of money, Davis
said. but as 1t seemed to be included

public the name of this lawyer.
Mrs. Acker told me-" Brown con-

Brown testified that he carried this
information to Attorney Hoover. and
told him that Mrs. Acker planned to
go to Atlantic City the next day.
Brown said Hoover instructed him to
find out whether Mrs. Acker made
the trip.

District Attorney James B. Archer
asked: e..

MEXICAN WOMEN
 ARE PREPARING
 TO AID STATES

MEXICO CITY. - LP) Mexican women are preparing to take a hand in the affairs of the Mexican re public. They intend rst to elimin- ate social and industrial evils and later to make fight for political equality. This is the program of the Mexican feminist council a national organization with headquarters in Mexico City.
 The council does not believe that the mass of Mexican women are at present prepared for complete sui frage but the council hopes eventual ly to make them vital political force. The present Mexican govern ment looks with favor upon their efforts, according to Senorlta Elena Torres, general secretary of the coun- cil. Heads of the government, she said. advocate complete emancipa- ton of Mexican women"
 The feminist council has organized groups to teach Mexican women how their conditions may be improved in dustrially and socially The next step, said Senorita Torres, will be organization of women workers in in dustry to demand fair and equal treatment at the hands of their eIn- Dloyers. They will not countenance any bitter sex war which has charac- terized the feminist movement in some European countries, but ex- pect cooperation from the men. The council intends to bring the Mexican women's movement in contact with similar organizations in other coun- tries and to work with the women of the world for peace, disarmament and anti-imperalism.
 Senorita Torres predicts that Mexi- can women will create a new era of amicable relations andt a more com plete understanding between Mexico and the United States. Later, she said, the feminist council intends to propose the formation of Latin American union to bring about a closer friendship, culturally, indus trially and politically between Mexi- co and the countries of South and Central America.

acknowledgements Over 1919.

No less than sixty per cent of the
members. of the graduating class of
the County High School of Columbia
are planning to attend college this
year. OF the thirty-seven who will on
May 20 receive their diplomas twenty
two have announced that they intend
to leave in September for college
to complete their education. This is
the largest per centage of gradual
ing class that has gone to college
from the high school, although each
year sees an increase.
Nearly all of the twenty-five who
intend to complete their education
will 90 to the University of Tonnes
see. This is in keeping with the ira
ditions of the county high school. The
vast majority Of the students who at
tend university keep right on in the
public school system and go to the
state university. A few years ago
when private schools practically dom
mated the county, Vanderbilt got
nearly all of the college students.
That is all changed now and the Uni
versity Of Tennessee is the popular
institution.
The girls outnumber the boys in
the graduating class this year, there
being twenty-three sweet girl gradu-
ates' and only fourteen of the mascu-
line persuasion. The class is the
largest that the school has ever had,
is five more than the class of 1919.

in seven separatS parcels, the sale
was over in less than forty minutes
after Col. Gil s. Moore assembled the
