guest of honor at the monthly lunch
con of the Barristers yesterday at the
Cosmos Club.
Frederick B McKenfey, who has
known personally every solicitor general
since the office was created in 1870,
introduced Mr.. Hughes. In doing so
he pointed out a little-known difference
between qualifications for that Office
and the attorney generalship.
There is no statute requiring the At
torney General of the United States
TO be a lawyer, and a layman might
be appointed and confirmed, Mr.. Nc
Kenney said. The statute creating the
Office of solicitor general requires tho
appointee to be learned in law" a
qualification which he said all incum-
bents of the office, including Mr.
Hughes, have possessed in the highest
degree. Aubrey Bogley of the Bar
risters presided at the luncheon.

ASSESSMENTS UPHELD.
Nebraska Supreme Court RVles e1
Bank Guaranty Provision.

LINCOLN, Nebr, December DR.
The Nebraska Supreme Court today up
held the constitutionality Of collecting
special assessments under the State
bank guaranty fund law. This decision
reverses the lower court and dissolves
an injunction that has kept State Of
ficers from collecting assessments since
last December
Attorneys for $50 banks which
brought the action announced they
would carry the fight to the Federal
courts, as the assessments not only were
driving banks to the wall, but were in
sufficient to halt the growing deficit in
the fund.
The Supreme Court pointed out that
the law has already been reviewed once
by the United States Supreme Court
and upheld.

EXECUTE
BUTCHER

MEXICO CITY, March 8.-F)-
The execution of General Jesus
Palomera Lopez, former chief Of
the military police of Mexico City.
removed one of the most pictulr-
eSque figures this country has ever
known. He was accused of at
tempting to turn his regiment over
to the rebels.
Tall, Of military build and hard
Of face, General Lopez was all the
more imposing because of his fear
full reputation. His friends were
few and to mention his name was
sufficient to strike terror into the
hearts of many. He was credited
with having killed from 200 to 500
men, and it was said hicks il his
pistol almost covered the handle.
Although General Lopez denied
the governments charge of treason,
documents allegedly found in his
possession were held to be convinc-
ing proof.
Known as "The Butcher" Gen
eral Lopez heard his sentence of
death without a whimper. Less
than an hour later he was taken
to the San Lazaro Workmanship
school on the road to the Valbuena
airfield. Just as dawn was break
ing yesterday he faced the firing
squad, unblindfolded and unafraid.

MEXICO CITY, March 8.-fP1-
Strong rebel forces today held Tor

Coahuila near the Durango line,
while federal troops were masSing
at Gu~adalajara for a northWard
counter-offenSive.
The federal government admit
ted the insurgents had effected a
coalition of troops under Generals
Francisco Urbalejo and Gonzalo
EscoOar which would require a ma
jOr offensive to diSlodge. The po-
sition is strategic, commanding the
important north and south railway
through the heart Of the country
and also several minor east and
west lines.
This threat, was temporarily at
least, blocked, by the troop barrier
thrown up by General Anacleto Lo-
PEI in the state of Zacatecas, di-
rectly to the south. Meanwhile,
General Lazaro Cardenas, appoint
ed supreme commander Of all fed

History records that Nero fiddled
while Rome burned, but his nom
chalance was no greater than that
of Lester B. Sutcliffe, a reporter for
the Ell PaSo Herald, today in Juarez
who though bullets from revolu-
tionary rifles were flying about
him, thought Of lack of cream for
his coffee.
Concealed in an adobe house in
Juarez directly in the line Of OPP
posing fire, Sutcliffe spent the
night and morning giving telephone
reports on the progress of the bat
tie for possession of the city to the
editorial rooms of the Herald.
There was little doing during the
night, but with the coming Of dawn
there came the put-put-put-put Of
a machine gun.
Things are flying rather thick
and fast here" Sutcliffe told his
office.
AS the firing increased, Sutcliffe
could sec the rebels advancing.
Here comes The milk man."
shouted Sutcliffe through the
phone, now for our morning cof-
fee"
The milk man approached the
house from his wagon, which ne
left parked in the street. AS he
approached closer the women resi-
dents of the house started to the
door to take the delivery. At the

The milk man started to flee,
dropping the cream meant for Suit

started down the street.
"Oh," said Sutcliffe over u,

my coffee"
Then he continued an account Of
the battle.
