DRY LAW ORDER
IS EXPLAINED

Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt,
assistant Attorney General, was
prompted by desire for enforce
ment" in issuing her letter to
United States attorneys to use
wise discretion" in enforcing the
Jones law, according to an article
appearing in the current issue of
the Union Signal. official organ
of the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union.
This explanation by Mrs. Willie
brandt was given to Mrs. Lena
Lowe Post, legislative superin-
tendent of the organization.
Mrs. Willebrandt said she fol-
lowed the precedent set by the
Justice Department in enforcement
OF the Mann act. whereby each
prosecutor must scan the evidence
carefully before deciding under
what section of the law he will
plead his case.
"Evaluating evidence before trial.
she says. has always been a
prosecutors duty; but it becomes
of greater Importance since the
Jones amendment to the VOlstead
act shows that Congress intends
those offenses which violate the
Constitution itself to he felonies.
and leaves other Volstead violations
as misdemeanors.
"A United States attorney must
proceed under the law according
to the intent of Congress, and to
do that he must exercise a wise
discretion In choosing his first
steps OF procedure"

MISS CROSSON, WHO PLUNGED TO DEATH, MAY HAVE BE

MELTON, Ariz., Aug, g. (P,- J. W, Noel, inspector of the federal department of commerce, expressed his belief that Miss Marvel Crosson San Diego aviatrix and former AL askan flier, who fell to her death near here Monday, on the second leg of the Santa Monica Cleveland air derby, became ill from the in- tense desert heat and lost control of the ship.
 Noel said he had found nothing to indicate that the motor of the plane had failed before striking the ground. The ship struck on it's nose in a ravine.
 This evidence, Noel said includes the testimony of ranchers who saw the craft falling and said that Miss Crosson had leaped only few minutes before the plane struck.
 Noel left for Los Angeles Wednes- day night where he said he would make formal report.
