MEXICAN ATTORNEYS
s OBJECT TO NEW LAW
/. ON RESPONSIBILITIES

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 17.-(Special to
The Dispatch) members of the Mexi-
can Bar association have taken excep-
ton to a measure now, pending in the
chamber of deputies on the manner OF
trial of government officials. The
measure as proposed in the lower
house provides for three additional
magistrates in the supreme court
whose exclusive duty it shall be to de-
eide the responsibilities of government
functionaries.
Antonio Ramos Pedraeuza has been
designated by the bar association to
draft a measure along the lines which
have previously been approved by the
association and which have met with
approval by the national senate. These
differ greatly from the pending bill.
According to the bar association
plans, public functionaries are to be
tried by a court composed of two
magistrates of the supreme court
drawn by lot, and by three attorneys
drawn from list to be submitted to
the supreme court by the practicing
lawyers of the federal district. The
association measure is designed to re-
move this kind of trial from the polfti-
cal field.

against the Nebraska Corn Huskers
as fitting climaxI to the Violets
most successful season in gridiron

performance of Notre Dame.
Although there is little more than
traditional satisfaction left for Yale

ing interest in their annual struggle
Saturday which will draw a capacity
throng to the New Haven bowl, it was
indicated today. A. radical shakeup
in the Harvard team leaves the Grim

Yale's position as favorite appears

Because Adlerika acts upon BOTH
upper and lower bowels, It gives
the system a REAL cleansing, and
clears out old poisons which usually
cause sour, gassy stomach, nervous
ness, sleeplessness, headache. Just
ONE spoonful stops GAS, and relieve
that full, bloated feeling so that
you can eat better and sleep better.
Even if bowels move daily, Adlerika
brings out much additional poison
which you never guessed was in
your system and which may have
long caused trouble. No matter what
you have tried for stomach and
