the department of justice is con-
fronted with a grave problem as to
what to do with all the violators
who are being convicted, Attorney
General Mitchell told the senate
judiciary committee today in IN

Prosecutions are increasing, con-
victions are increasing and congcs-
ton of the courts is diminishing,
Mitchell asserted.
He cited statistics, not made pub
lie, showing extent of prosecutions
the first year of the Hoover ad-
ministration as compared with the
last year of the Coolidge admins
tration, although he did not mon
ton the administrations.
Norris to Withdraw Bill
His argument was SO convincing
that Chairman Norris of the COM
mittee announced he would with
draw his resolution calling for a
senatorial inquiry of enforcement
conditions if friends of enforcement
generally continued to oppose it.
Mitchell did not oppose the RESP
luton, but said he did not think
it would do any good. He saw no
necessity for it since enforcement
is progressing SO rapidly, he said.
He urged, however, that congre S.
enact immediate legislation TO
create more failing facilities for
prohibition prisoners. He said twice
rs many men were in Atlanta peni-
tertiary as the place could ordinar-
lily hold. A barracks was bought OF
Leavenworth penitentiary in Kan

there, he said.
Quizzed on Political Influence
Norris questioned Mitchell about
the use of political influence to pre-
vent and to interfere with prohibi.
ton prosecutions, citing charges
made by former Assistant Attorney
General Mabel Walker Willebrandt.
Mitchell replied that these
charges referred to a time before
he became attorney general AMI
therefore he would not like to dis
cuss them.
Mitchell endorsed the Wicker
sham reform bills, especially the
measure transferring enforcement
to his department from the treas
ury. He advocated leaving the in

Begins Assembling Material

London, April Z R-Secretary Of
State Stimson began assembling his
material for a naval conference
treaty today, thus signalling the
approaching end of the historic par

The secretary was understood TO
be getting ideas marshalled for a
three-power pact-Unlted States,
Great Britain and Japan-Which will
be so constructed that France and
| Italy can join later if they overcome
| the difficulties which thus far have
blocked the progress of the confer
ence.
Consults Delegation
The American secretary Of state
came to London from Stanmore this
morning to consult his delegation,
but expected to return to his coun-
try home during the afternoon to
continue work on the intricacies of
naval pact. One of his tasks was to
analyze the Washington treaty again
and to study it's relation to the pro-
posed new agreement.
No one among the various de1cga-
tons has yet been willing to admit
officially that a five power treaty Is
not still possible and work to- that
end is continuing. Unofficially, how
ever, there are expressions that there
is small likelihood Of the French and
Italian problems being settled at this
conference.

Don't try to put me off with that sort of rot" he replied. T met Whittamore on the stairs. I don't suppose he has anything to do with it?"
 Why should he? Ricardi's going to raise my salary. That's the big news"
 Hmm. I suppose you're not thinking seriously of marrying this kid?"
 She glanced at him quickly.
 You know I'm not. How often must I tell you? You know I only became engaged to him so I could get in with his swanky friends. It was your own idea"
 Mason smiled.
 Whats this about your marry ing him the day after tomorrow"
 Who says amp she snapped
 Its no use, Clary," he continued. T know your game. He told me so himself I almost laughed in his face, for you know I hold every trick in the pack"
 Clarice didn't answer immediate ly.
 Suppose I am marrying Bryn- mor?" she asked, after a pause. T don't see what you can do about it."
 "Oh, don't you? Yet I can upset your applecart very nicely, my dear. Get this into your head, Clary If you're doing any marrying at all, I'll be the bridegroom"
 And what if I say I don't love you?"
 He laughed at that.
 Who cares about love? I want you, and that's enough for me. I was waiting to save up so we could make clean getaway to some oth- CT country. see now that I was fool not to have taken you before.
 Freddy threw himself into an arm chair.
 "Well, let's quit arguing. All you've got to do, Clary, is to get this marrying stunt right out of your head"
 "Indeed!' Her eyes gleamed. And what if I refuse?"
 "Then, there's nothing to do but to make-er-a little confession to our mutual friend concerning your past!"
