HouueH Drafts Neov Enforcement Act for District
STUDIES.
D R At 7 Of
MEASURE

Senator Howell (R.) Of Ne.
braska, who made a speech in
September charging that prohibit
ton enforcement here was lax
and was later called on by Presl-
dent Hoover to cite examples Of
such laxity, has drafted a special
enforcement act for the District
and will introduce it soon.
Senator Howell submitted a
copy of his draft to Corporation
Counsel William w. Bride and
asked for his comment. Bride
was studying the bill today.
Includes Police
While the contents of the Dill
were not made public. it is
understood to contain a. provision
that all of the 1900 members Of
the local police department ne
empowered to make arrests for
violations of the volstead Act.
At present only 80 members
of the department are deputized .
as Federal prohibition agents.
These include two plain clothes
men in each of the IA precincts
and two squads of five men each.
These members of the depart
ment are charged solely with
iR4x ip0
raids.
For Model City
Despite the fact that Senator
Howell and the President had a
tilt over liquor law conditions
here, the Senator's bill was con-
Sidered by some observers to have
fallen in line with President
Hooyer'S recent statement to the
effect that special enforce
ment act should be passed for the
District. with a view of making it
a model city for the entire ma
ton with respect to dry enforce
ment.
Shortly after Senator Howell
made his speech, Senator Brook
hart R) of Iowa. said that sew
eral senators had attended a
liquor party given at the Willard
Hotel three years ago. Later
Brookhart was called before the
Grand Jury to tell his story Of
the party, but the Grand Jury~
as yet has made no report on
the case.

Cow Claims Great
Nonstop Record

LOCKPORT, II. Y. Sept. T.
Twelve years ago. before the pub
lie counted the day lost If the daily
paper failed (, announce a new
nonstop flight record. the patrician
little Jersey COW, Sophie's Emily
owned by w. r. Kenan. Jr.. at Ran
dleigh farm. quietly started a non
stop production record.
Year after year since then she
has been producing rich, creamy
milk and in 1928 she had complet-
ed eight official tests Of one each
year. Then she commenced her
ninth test ct Is years Of age.
A few days ago she completed
this ninth test. and the bovine
world has a new heroine-l2 years
In the making
Today with the increased total
made by her latest record, Sophie's
Emily Is undoubtedly the worlds
greatest living dairy COW. Officially
she Is also designated the living
long-distanced champion Jersey
cow in the world.
For the nine successive tests she
has averaged 78l pounds Of butter
fat and 1927 pounds Of milk, her
total production to date standing at
l43 .348 pounds OF milk, a total that
IS equivalent to 6.7S7 pounds OF but
ter and 66.673 quarts Of milk.
When this new queen of the milky
way tuned up for her solo endur-
sncc record II years ago she was
but two years and three months o.
age. Now in her fifteenth year
she awaits the beginning Of her
tenth test
But one more 365-day test at
her usual high average and she
will look down upon the shattered
record of her noted granddam, So
phie 18th OF Hood farm, the COW
now holding the championship for
lifetime production for all breeds.
Her record. total production Of but
terfat, Is 7.545 pounds. This rec
ord was set in II yearly tests. Her
average was 686 pounds per test. as
against the 78l-pound average OF
Sophie's Emily.

The Exalted Capitalist Jury System in Play

The exalted capitalist jury system
is made to look ridiculous in Ladies
of the Jury" by Fred Ballard, now
at Changers Theatre, where I'M
doubleday it will stay for many a
week.
Opening the sluG day that Fred
E. Beal and his fellow workers We're
sentenced to long prison terms in
North Carolina, it is interesting to
see how justice is dispensed sin the
land of the free and the home of
the brave"
In the play, we view a murder
trial in a small New Jersey town
where Frenchwoman appears be-
fore her peers charged with killing
her husband. Of course, she is not
of the working class nor was her
dead husband. Nevertheless the
methods of "justice" are laid bare
for all to see. Mr.. Ballard, the
playwright, has done a good job
and should be congratulated.
The opening scene is the court
room and here we watch the evil
dence being given to the jury. We
then switch to the jury room where
molly one of the IL jurors, half of
which are women, favors a verdict
of mot guilty"
The II jurors are supposed to be
a cross section of any small town
in North Carolina or New Jersey.
In this case it includes candy mer-
chant, a grocer, an ex-chorus girl,
a so-called reformer and other men,
bers of the petty bourgeoisie. In
their moralistic Interpretation of
things, they all favor the conviction
of the defendant.
If the woman on trial would have
been strike leader, such as Vera
Bush, Sophie Melvin or Amy
Schechter, there would have been
no way of changing their opinions.
But it happens she is a member of
their own class, so finally the house
wife who stood for acquittal wins
them to her point of view, one by
one, until at last a verdict of mot
guilty" is agreed upon by the ~
good men (and women) and true"
The leading role, that of the
country woman, who convinces the
rest of the jury, is in the capable
hands of that peerless actress, Mrs,
Fiske, who was seen here last season
as Mrs. Bumstead-Leigh. One of
the finest and leading actresses in

LATIN WORKERS
Reject INVITES
Reactionaries Couldn't
Lure Them to Havana

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 3d.
Further details of the calling off of
the Pan-American Federation of
Labor Havana congress are leaking
through the camouflage thrown over
this action by the A. F. L. general
council.
Two months ago Secretary Lyle
sias, arriving in Washington from
Porto Rico, consulted with President
Green as to whether the Congress
should be moved from Havana to
some other place where police
espionage upon the debate would be
less strict than under the Machado
dictatorship. Iglesias is as conserv-
ative as they make 'em but he knew
the Latin American workers. 1t
was then announced that no change
would be made. The executive coun-
Gil of the A. F. of L. voted to at
tend the Havana Congress.
However, underlings in the A. F.
L. offices here now admit that ere
turns to invitations sent to the labor
organizations in South America,
have been very unsatisfactory" and
that the action of the U. S. banker
Moncado government in Nicaragua
which simply exiled all known labor
leaders, is producing almost as un-
satisfactory an effect on Latin
American workers as the recent adj
ditional proof that Cuba has Wall
Street government.
