hibition, with view of giving the coun-
try a fair test OF enforcement in the
event the Democrats win in November,

Convinced that the public does not
believe the prohibition law has had
fair show. Roper. who in 1924 was an
ardent supporter of McAdoo in the New
York convention, has suggested TO
party leaders that they offer to give
the country a real enforcement test.
Until such an effort is made he holds,
1t cannot be determined conclusively
whether the law should be modified.
Roper said today that he had simply
offered this program as suggestion
and was making no attempt TO foster
movement to that end He organized
the prohibition unit while head Of the
prohibition unit, and contends that the
prohibition Law must have the support

entirely relieved. My only regret
is that I did not kill him then"

father because he had attacked her
and then gossiped about it and
ruined her reputation. She said he
had been brought into court on
charges of impairing her morals.

of corroboration. she went on.
Acts When law Fails

I took the law into my own hands,

the gun and determined to kill him.

man. was mounting the stairs in
the Brooklyn home yesterday. the
girl said, she ran to her bedroom,
got the gun and fired five times.
Two bullets went wild bat the others
took effect.
The girl was held, charged with
Juvenile delinquency. While detec-
tives were inclined to accept her
story. thew held her mother on an
assault charge made by her hus'
band.
