BY the Associated Press.


PARIS, February 6.-The government
is carrying on quiet investigation into
reports that the Gaypayou-Secret serv-
ice of Soviet Russia---is acting independ-
emily here in violation Of French SOW
ereignty.
The investigation is an outgrowth Of
the disappearance here of Gen. Alex
ander Paul Koutiepoff. Charges have
been made that the general, leader of
the White Russians and successor to the
Grand Duke Nicholas, was kidnapped by
Soviet secret police.
Should the accusations of secret &C.
tivity be proved, it is presumed here
that the government would make an
official move. Meanwhile, there are no
indications that the government. is per-
tlrbed by dispatches from Moscow based
on Soviet views that relations between
France and Russia are strained.
The government has informed the
Soviet Ambassador that it is not re-
Sponsible for statements in the French
press and that 1t will continue a strong
force of police at the Soviet embassy
until the present furry passes.
It Is pointed out in French circles
that Russian citizens have perfect Free

true OF French nationals In Russia.

HOOVER EL|C|TATES.
MEXICAN EXECUTIVE
Pleasure That Ortiz Rubio
Escaped Assassin Is Ex-
pressed by President.

President Hoover, through the State
Department, today communicated to
President Ortiz Rubio of Mexico his
pleasure that the Mexican Chief Ex-
ecutlve nad escaped serious injury when
shot yesterday by u wuuld-be assassin.
Mr.. hoover characterized the attack
while deeply distressed to e" learn Of
the cowardly attack made on you and
your family, Mrs. Hoover and I rejoice
with the American people that you and
Sonora de Ortiz Rubio have suffered no
serious harm and that you have been
spared to carry on your constructive
program. Please accept our most COR
dial wishes for your complete recovery
and be assured that the Government of
the United States earnestly trusts that
Mexico, under your wise and able guild
economic progress"
Shortly after the White HouEe an
nouncement the Department Of State
issued this statement:
"The Department has received tele-
gram from Herschel v. johnson, Amer
lean charge d'affaires at Mexico City,
to the effect Immediately upon receiv-
ing news that an attempt had been
made yesterday afternoon on the life
of President Ortiz Rubio. special Am
baSsador Joshua Reuben Clark and Mr..
Johnson called upon the minister of
foreign affairs. Mr.. Clark said to him
that while he had not had an oppor-
tunity to confer with his Government,
he knew that he spoke the sentiments
of the President Of the United States
and the American people when he ex-
pressed profound regret for the attempt
on the life of President Ortiz Rubio, an
attempt which had neither justification
nor excuse.
"Mr. Clark at the same time ex-
pressed sincere congratulations that
the attempt had been unsuccessful and
asked the Minister to convey these mes
sages to the President at an appro-
pirate opportunity.
THE Mexican minister for foreign
affairs replied that he deeply appre-
ciated what Mr.. Clark said and that
he would be glad to convey the message
to the President as soon as possible"

terra days." where prohibition law vio-
lators were tried wholesale to clear
Federal court dockets, had impaired the
dignity Of the courts. He added that
in consequence the people we're losing
respect for the courts and for the law.
Pound said the commission had not
recommended anything that had not
previously been approved by the States
and the Federal Government, and added
there were no constitutional reasons
why the powers of the commissioners
could not be broadened. Jury trials, he
asserted, were for infamous crimes.
Three Plans Considered.
When the commission began the study
to relieve the Federal court congestion
he said, its members considered three
plans. One was to increase the num-
Der of Federal judges, which, he ex-
planned, was undesirable because the
judges would be appointed for life for
a temporary situation. The second con-
sidered the setting up Of Federal police
the same reason.
The third, on which the commission
determined, he added, was to use the
machinery already set up by giving the
commissioners authority to hold sum-
mary trials of misdemeanor liquor cases.
He asserted that the Constitution
provided that petty criminal cases could
be tried without a jury. The recon-
mendation of the commission, he added,
was not new. He then cited numerous
cases in which it had been held that
petty cases could be tried without a
jury and an offender could waive jury
trial If he desired.
Federal Court congestion was not
due alone to prohibition, but also to the
Dyer automobile theft act and other
laws, Pound said.
The Federal Government, ne added,
In adopting the commissioner form of
court. would follow State governments
In diSposing of petty cases.
After lengthy legal defense of the
Enforcement Commissions views, Pound
said that the idea that commissioners be
given additional powers was nothing
new. He referred to a number of cases
in which 1t had been held that 1T was
constitutional for the commissioners to
have the power the Christopherson bills
would give them. Pound added that a
fine of $500 and six months IN Jail was
pretty well within the limits of the de-
fined petty officials"

Gales (Plutarco Elias Gales has been
using the iron hand, with the result of
half dozen revolutions and constant
