Judge Pays Debt
For Girl; Flags
Unwedded Couple

"I1l pay the measly s2.50 the girl
owes you out Of my pocket" Cor
poration Judge A. A. Browne roared
Tuesday TO a quaking pair before
him. And furthermore I'm getting
sick and tired OF you people who are
not legally married coming here be-
fore me. It's disgusting and dis
graceful. See that you never come
into my court again"
"A preliminary hearing In the case
brought out that the young girl
owed the woman $3.50. The girl de-
clared that she was unable to pay
the debt at present.
The woman and her common law
husband went To the girls house
and demanded the $3.50. A fight
was said to have ensued. The girl
said the couple threw rocks at her
house afterward.
The woman had hired an attorney
to represent her. The judge pointed
out that IL the woman was able TO
hire an attorney she didn't need the
$3.50 very badly.
He ended the case In his court by
paying the $3.50 himself.

Body Called On For
Greatest Services

WASHINGTON, May 29.-P,-
Called upon by President Hoover TO
perform zone Of the greatest SER
vices to our generation" the ma
tional law enforcement commission
today stood at the threshold of its
tremendous task or finding out the
facts and causes Of public disobe-
dience Of law and formulating
recommendations looking - inn
provement.
Stating prohibition Is only one
angle or our work." Chairman Geo.
w. Wickersham asserted after the
initial meeting Of the commission
yesterday that If it found any law
unenforceable 1t would SO report.
Pressed for q statement as to
whether the scope OF the commits
sIon's authority was broad enough
to enable 1t TO find The prohibition
laws unenforceablc. Chairman
Wickersham. a former attorney
general. declared 1t was intellect
ually possible. but, i might add.
improbable. The attitude or the
American people toward law Is not
bounded by prohibition"
MY ideal" he said. Ifs % have
the organization of law such that
1t will make II impossible for q
person to violate the law without
being speedily brought 10 book.
Pres. Hoover told the commission
"the American people r deeply
concerned over the alarming dis
obedience Of law. the abuses OF law
enforcement and the growth OF or
ganized crime which has spread to
every field Of evil-doing and in
every part OF our country"
The problem. he said. Is not con-
fined to the enforcement and ODE
dience OF one law or the laws Of
the federal and state governments
separately. but is partly the atti-
tude toward all law"
1T l. my hope" he declared,
that the commission shall secure
an accurate determination OF fact
and cause. following them with
constructive. courageous conclu-
sions which will bring public un-
derstanding and command public
support Of its solutions"

PASS UP CROWDER
Report Involving Former En-
voy to Cuba Left to
War Department.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Investigation of reports that Gen.
Enoch Crowder, former American AM
bassador to Cuba, had divulccd war
plans Of the general staff to & sugar
company Official will be left to tn, War
Department by the Senate lobby COM
mittee.
Announcing yesterday that plans for
questioning Crowder had been ali M
doned, Chairman Caraway said any &C.
ton by his committee had been rem
dered unnecessary by the investigation
started by the War Department.
We will let the War Department
handle the matter" he said. There
is no need Of the lobby committee 60
ing any further"
The War Department investigation
was started as the result of testimony
before the lobby committee that Crow
der had learned plans of the general
stan of the Army provided that no at
tempt to keep trafic lane open be-
tween the United States and the Philip
pines would be made In case Of war.
Letter From Lakin.
This was contained in o letter writ
ten by H. G. Lakin, president Of the
Cuba company, who testified that the
information must have come" from
Crowder. Both men have been opposing
a high duty on sugar in the pending
tariff bill, as testified before the lobby
committee.
The first witness before the commit
tee when 1t reconvenes January z will
RInnFt T., nf he
fectlonery section of the Department
Of Commerce foodstuffS division.
Caraway yesterday ordered that
Purdon be directed to appear for ques-
t1on1ng in regard to testimony that he
had discussed the proposed sliding
scale for sugar duty with representa-
tiVes OF sugar companies. He wants
to learn who detailed Purdon to work
on the sliding scale.
Expects Bill to Pass.
Caraway said he was more convinced
than ever that legislation should be
enacted to curb the activities of lobby
lists, and believed his bill to that end
would be passed by both Houses with
out difficulty. 1t was passed by the
Senate last session, but never came to
vote in the House.
The bill, which now is before the
Senate judiciary committee, requires
that each lobbyist give the name of his
employer, his salary and expense al
lowance and provides that every 30
days he must report what money has
been spent and for what purpose. He
also must give the names Of persons
entertained as a part oil his lobbying
activity and the cost of the Lntertain-
ment.
Failure to register before engaging
In lobbying would entail a maximum
penalty Of IL months in jail and a
81 900 fine.
