It shook open another entrance to the Two Brothers mine and uncov- cred a rich vein of gold in a hang ing wall of quartz. Furie got into the mine through the split and found the new vein.'

Mexican Bandit Makes
 Youth Dig Own Grave

Mexico City. July IS PS-Ncws- paper dispatches from Colima published today told how a l4 year-old Mexican toy. Adolfo Nillenueva vas forced to dig his own grave before he was executed by Manuel Marmolejo, bandit chieftain.
 Marmolejo's band had captured the boy several weeks ago, but he had managed to escape. He was taken again few days ago and carried to the mountain retreat of the bandits where the leader ordered him to dig grave, tell ing him it was for a man who had been sentenced to death.
 As the task was finished the bandit said to the youth; "The grave you have dug is your own. You will not escape again.
 Marmalejo thereupon drew his pistol and shot the boy, whose body fell into the grave,

ROCKET ID GIVE
 INVALUABLE DATA
(Continued From First Page)

Worcester, Mass. July IS Pr- The search Of a professor of physics at Clark university for new pro- pellant for rockets designed to eX- plore the upper air strata of the earth, caused a sensation hereabouts yesterday afternoon but left the re- suit of the experiment., tigurativeiy at least, somewhat up in the air.
 Great Excitement Caused
 First reports from the isolated district in which Prof Robert H Goddard has his 40 foot steel tower and experiment station. were that flaming meteor had burst with I terrific detonation. Other persons thought an airplane had crashed and so great was the excitement that two police ambulances dash"i through the section looking tor vic tims while an airplane took off from the Grafton airport in search of the NTeckaGe
 But to Prof. Goddard the excite ment was only an incident in { years or AptTlnttuldlIOIl ilt bh . mitted that the projectile might have made slightly more noise than some of the others he has set oft at various times, but declared noth- ing had exploded in the air and there had been no damage except that incident to landing,
 He declined to say where the rocket had come down and secuted reports that he was attempting 10 find a practicable way of making a trip to the moon, as had been ru- mored. Local statistiCians figured that had the rocket been designed with that end in view it failed to reach it's objective by something like 23S.S5G 3-4 miles. but estimates of the altitude actually attained varied widely.
 The rocket was nine feet long, about 2S inches in girth and was said to have been powered in such a manner that successive charges of explosive were designed to keep it shooting at an even pace through the sky.
 IL was shot from the base of the steel tower along rails leading to the apex. Grooves in the side of the projectile guided it up the rails.

ant obligations imposed upon the government is that which has 10 do with law enforcement. and there is the corresponding obligation on each citizen Of law observance. Law Problems E,eryoncs
 Tt is clearly the obligation of all good citizens to the obedient to ths l law and uphold those who are charged with the responsibility of it's enforcement. Problems of law en- forcement are for the private citizen as well as for the public official, and we should not become impatient if progress appears slow. We need to make it d popular thing to ob- serve the law and we should not in advertcntly popularize the breaking of the law.
 If it is the law it is the duty of all good citizens to be obedient thereto and certainly the chief eX- ecunves of our state have a solemn duty to perform in standing four square for law observance and en- forcement, and thus maintain the dignity, integrity and security Of government"
 Caraway Talks
 Washington, July IS tP) - The prohibition enforcement suggestions advanced by George W. Wicker sham, chairman Of President Hoo- Ver's law enforcement commission, hic 1nt conference in New London. Conn, have aroused vigorous objections in at least one section of the dry group.
 Saying the chairman has "sacri- ficed his usefulness by suggesting that responsibility for prohibition enforcement be divided between the federal and state governments and that, if this were done, "the na- tional and state laws might be modified so as to become reason ably enforceable" Senator Cara way, democrat, Arkansas, hopes" he will resign
 The Arkansas senator long prom lnent as an advocate and defender of prohibition, holds that the letter brands the dry laws as ''unenforce- able and gives Encouragement to the criminal world" It Is the worst blow prohibition has suf- fered.' he declares and unless Hoover acquiesced in the letter., he expects Wickersham "to resign soon."
 ''USefulncss Destroyed"
 "The usefulness of the commits sion," he says in his statement on the incident "already is destroyed if Wickersham continues at its head. Nobody believes he is capable of an impartial survey of the pro- hihition question:"
 Discussion of the Wickcrsham letter has revived suggestions for enactment of special prohibition law for the District of Columbia. At present the capital has no such law and only 35 of it's more than 1,30o policemen are empowered 10 swear out warrants and make raids under the Nolstead act.
 i'avors District Law
 Prohibition Commissioner Doran is quoted as favoring district en- forcement act, holding that the raiding of speakeasies and pursuit of bootleggers. instead of requiring the participation of federal agents. should be handled entirely by the police. Such a law he pointed out. would enable the federal agents to devote all of their time to opera tions against large scale rum pro- ducers and runners here and in nearby Maryland and Virginia.

Heirs Of the Lowe estate, damaged by the improvement. were allowed damages which, they explain, were sufficient to offset their taxes for several years. With this thought in mind, they did not pay taxes, but they have been assessed large sums for delinquency and they have look ed 10 the city for reimbursement. In conjunction with the payment of damages recognized hy the munich pality they ask interest on the amount which became due May 20, 1925.

GOVERNORS REFUSE
 ID VOTE ON PLAN WICKERSHAM SENT
Continued From First Page)

l there have been more arrests and more convictions for other types oi "rime than ever before. and that criminality is on the wane in the state. He believed the same thios; would happen elsewhere if states concentrated on classes of crime oth- CT than those created by prohibition.
 Aside from the class of crimes such as bootlegging and hi-jackinS which federal prohibition under the 1 Nolstead act has created, and aside from the crimes for which they are responsible and for offenses under 1 the Nolstead act, I doubt very much whether there is any crime wave. Such crime wave as there is seems [ to me to revolve around the existing federal system of prohibition.
 Tt is time for the country to real izc that the eighteenth amendment imposes no obligation on the state 10 enforce it, the Maryland gover- nor said, the amendment gives the state concurrent jurisdiction with the federal government in that re- gard, but whether the states exercise it is optional with them, If they choose rot to do 90 they violate no legal or moral obligation.
 Recommendations Made | MT. Wickersham suggest that the federal government stop the impor t&tion. manufacture and the inter- state shipment of liquor and that the states enforce the Nolstcad Act in their borders. He adds a sug- gestion that in this event the nu- tional and state laws might be modi- fed so as to become reasonably en- uncertain that I am unable to un- derstand what he means, 80 I can- not comment on that.
 'I dissent, however, from Mir. WiCkersham's suggestion that the states must take over the enforce ment of the Nolstead act within their borders. ] have already point ed out that this is neither their con stitutional nor their moral duty l now add that in my opinion it would not tend to remedy the crime Situa- ton which Mr. Wickersham's com mission was appointed to study.
 Statistics are more important than anything else in determining a question of this kind. You must not only know how many crimes are committed but what they are, how many are followed by arrests, how many charges are dismissed how many convicted men are put on pro- patton, and how many are sentenced The largest cities are just beginning to get this data.
 Tn Baltimore we have been get ting it for some years. and there is certainly no crime wave there. We had less burglaries in Baltimore in 1928 than in 1924, less robberies and practically the same number of mur- ders.
 Arrests for burglary increased from 2l per cent in 1924 to g per cent in 1928. for robbery from 4S per cent 10 B per cent and murder from "A 10 91 per cent.
