M'CRORY SEEMS TO
HAVE BEST CHANCE
FOR NEW JUDGESHIP
No Chance for Man En-
dorsed by District Attor-
ney or Delegation.

Speculation regarding Governor
Neff's selection Of a judge to fill the
bench of the Oath District Court
which was created by a bill passed
over the governors veto Thursday,
was engaging the attention of court
house officials Friday. 1t was sug-
gested, however, that the governor, in
view of the fact that the bill was
passed over his veto and protest, may
hold up the appointment as long as
he possibly can.
Consensus of opinion in courthouse
circles is that Judge W. W. McCrory,
member of the state highway de-
partment and close friend of Gov
ernor Neff may get the appointment.
Judge McCrory is known to have the
support of many of those at the
courthouse as well as a large number
of San Antonio attorneys. Ben +.
Kelly, also has been mentioned as a
contender for the appointment, as has
w. A. Hogan.
One thing seemed certain Friday
and that was that Governor Neff will
not aproint Mayor Black. or any
other innn endorsed by the Bexar
county delegation or the district at
torney's office. Those who are in
close touch with the situation declare
that the governor could not possibly
feel friendly toward those who had
overriden his veto and since it was

CHASED INTO RIVER
Detective Catches Escaped Prisoner
as lie Swims TO Bank.

Two 20-foot leaps and a plunge
into the San Antonio river, failed ia
gain freedom for a Mexican, y, when
he escaped from police headquarters,
Thursday afternoon. Detective Eog-
Ter proved too fleet of foot and too
swift a swimmer for the prisoner.
The Mexican, serving Jail SEN
tence, was brought into detective
headquarters and placed in the hold
over pending quizzing regarding
the theft of ring in the city Jail
from another prisoner. He had sue
ceeded in prying open the heavy
screen bars of a window and was in
the act of crawling through the win
dow when Detective Chavez gave the
alarm.
The Mexican leaped from the top of
the garage, in the rear of police head
quarters, to the ground, after swinging
out of the window. Detective Voglcr
raced down the stairway in pursuit.
The fleeing man then jumped off the
2O-foot embankment at the south end
of the fire drill school to the river
bank and plunged into the stream.
Detective Vogler duplicated the feat
and in swimming race across the
river nabbed the Mexican as he was
crawling out of the water on the
opposite side.
The prisoner was led back TO head
quarters.

 This one appeared too small. In fact the top of his head was well be- low the shoulder of any of the other three.

 For why not you can't take me?' the dimiutive embryo sailor asked. wouldn't be able to stand up to your share of the work and fighting" {" Lineberry replied. And the applicant turned away.
 Can't work with them as good, can't fight no good. Ah, mister, he's wrong there" the little fellow told a bystander. "Why I can do lots of work. I do heaps more work than the big guy there" and he pointed to the larger of hi friends"
 And fight. say mister I can fight good as any of these guys; why I al- ready whip one of them and I will fight now if they will let me in. IT I whip one of them you reckon they Will?"

MONTGOMERY LO0KS7WETS PLAN TO GRASF
 FOR BIG TRADE DAY POWER IN 10 STATE;
Declare Conditions Favorable For
 Impressive Triumph In 1924

WAOdlNI IONs August Io-A campaign to grasp the balance of power" in 10 or more states prepara- tory to the elections of 1924 has been started by the association against the prohibition amendment. A mem orandum distributed from headquar- ters of the organization here out lines the plan as follows:
 "The association against the pro- hiibtion amendment won a real vic- tory in the 1922 election.
 "Conditions are favorable for a. more impressive triumph in 1924, and we believe that you will be interested in our plans to this end.
 AS the political situation stands at present, our organization has an excellent opportunity to grasp the balance of power in next years N litical contest by working now to in- crease our membership and to awaken public sentiment in such pivotal or key states as Massachusetts, Con- nectieut, New York, New Jersey. Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio Illi- nois Wisconsin and California.
 The states mentioned contain about 45 per cent of the population of the country and all are more OF less favorable to the repeal of the Volstead law. It is the task of the association to so organize these states that 1t will be necessary for the party that wins othem in 1924 to make concessions alog the lines of repeating or modifying the present prohibition laws"
