ing recomme cations for relieving
congestion at the capitol was re-
ferred. The committee will devote
some time to study of the plans,
which were prepared by local ar
chitect, before reaching a decision
1t Is expected that when the addi-
ton is mae the supreme court and
attorney generals office will occupy
the mex annex. while the office of
the court of appeals will be moved
TO the quarters now occupied by the
supreme court.
Crowded conditions at the capitol
have already necessitated several de-
partments moving out of the capitol

aod to the capitol building as 1t now
stands. avoiding a removal to sepa-
rate buildings.

Obregon Aids In
Helping Catch
Dope Smugglers
U. P. Staff Correspondent

MEXICO CITY, April 23-Ameri-
can bootleggers are changing their
sprofession and are becoming dope
smugglers.
Because of the high price secured
for the dope the bootleggers are
changing their trade.
One of the chief ways to get the
dope into the United States is
across the border. The dope is re-
ceived here from Germany and cen
tral European countries and taken
to n point about so miles from the
border. From that station it is
taken in smaller quantities across
the border.
President Obregon is personally
taking a hand in wiping out this
traffic and government investigat-
ors are watching the operations of
suspected dope smugglers closely.
"Mexico is doing all things posi-
bic in 4 legal way to end the dope
traffic. President Obregon told
the United Press. He stated that
he had received Il letter from the
League of Nations requesting CO.
operation in ending the traffic.
