DIVORCE LAWYERS
Curb on Mexican Decree At
torneys Considered-TriaI
"ShOWS" Hit.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, July 15.-Definite
action to curb Mexican divorce law
yers" was among the things to be
considered by the annual convention
of the American Bar Association open
ing today. More than 2,400 delegates
were here for the gathering.
The association also was 20 take
up more stringent methods for prompt
diSbarment of uneth cal lawyers.
Committee recommendations on
widespread phases of legal reform will
be given to the delegates this week.
Among these are the proposed creation
Of a department of justice in every
State, the use OF less than a unani-
nous jury verdict, except in major
felonies; the permission of court and
counsel to comment to the jury on
the failure of the defendant to tes-
tify in his own behalf, extradiGion of
persons of unsound mind and pro-
posals for medico-legal institutes and
for better training and closer CO.
operation of police.
Lawyer-C Criminal on Run.
"The lawyer criminal is very de-
cidedly on the rum" said Earle Wood
Evans of Wichita, Kans., past presi-
dent of the association. But there is
still much to do before the bar can be
purged entirely of this public menace"
Today's session was to deal with in
surance, trade mark and patent laws.
mineral legislation, public utilities and
the unauthorized practice of law.
In a report for submission at the
convention, the Committee on Coop
Grafton Between the Press and the Bar
criticized the conduct of the Bruno
Hauptmann trial and demanded steps
be taken to prevent repetition of
such incidents" as occurred in the
trial.
The committee said that to treat "a
simple trial as public show, as was
done in the sensational trial of Bruno
Hauptmann, is to cheaper life itself
by causing people generally to under
value the life of the criminal and to
increase the morbid desires of sensa-
ton seekers"
Agreement Sought.
Declaring it felt that Substantial
results cannot be accomplished by
legislation" the committee urged that
a committee be established on the re-
lations between the press and bar,
consisting of small number Of law
yers of outstanding ability and rep
resentatives of the Associated Press,
the International News Service and
the United Press, together, If desired,
with representatives of the National
and Columbia Broadcasting Co.'S, to
make a Nation wide survey of condi-
lions surrounding the publicity given
to criminal trials.
1.-THE committee recommends that
such a conference devise ways and
means for carrying on this type Of
publicity, so that all trials of crimi-
nal cases be conducted only before
the judges and juries Of the court in
a manner conforming to recognized
standards of judicial dignity and de-
pertinent" the report continued.

Ickes Announces Readiness to Stay
Within Limits.

ANhS0 SAAhVAhANNo S~~~AsAS'S w ~.s"S
Within Limits.
Admitting that a decision Of the
United States Circuit Court Of APP
peals in Cincinnati barring Federal
condemnation of land would severely
restrict his $249 100000 slum clear
ance and low-rent housing program,
Secretary Ickes declared today, how
ever. 1--WE are fully prepared to con-
tinue our program within the limits
set by the decision"
Whether the Government would
appeal to the United States Supreme
Court was q question which Secre-
tary Ickes would not discuss now
until he has studied the decision
which sustained a decision which had
its origin in the housing project con-
templated by P. W. A. in Louisville,
KY.
Effect Here Uncertain.
How the decision of the appellate
court affects the condemnation pro-
ceedings filed here In the District Su-
preme Court to acquire land for hous-
ing projects in Southwest Washington
was not clarified by P. w. A. officials.
No local property owner has filed a
demurrer to the proceedings in Wash
1ngton.
Housing officials explained today
that in the case of the Louisville
project approximately 90 per cent Of
the property owners favored selling
land to the Government. Approx
mately IS per cent of the area
affected has been under option for
some time.
The situation in Washington, 1t was
said, is quite similar. The Government
has secured option on a majority Of
the parcels of land in the Southwest
site.
While the restrictions imposed by
the court in Cincinnati will handi-
cap speeding of the slum clearance
program, Secretary Ickes said the
program would not be halted. Legal
Offices Of the housing division had an
ticipated the decision, with the result
that plans had been worked out to
care for an unfavorable decision.
Work Not Shut OF.
"While lack of authority to insti-
tute condemnation proceedings will
restrict the SUM- clearance and low
rent housing programs severely, it
will not shut it off," Ickes said. 1--WE
have laid the groundwork for pro-
ceeding without condemnation and in
q good many cities we have already
selected alternate vacant land sites
where ownership is usually confined
to one or only a few persons.
1--WE are not going to stop this work
merely because of restriction of con-
demnation power. We will have to
modify the form somewhat. but we
shall proceed with the program"
Ickes pointed out there remained
two general methods Of procedure on
slum clearance projects that can be
Utilized without overstepping the rul-
ing Of the court. One Is cooperation
with municipal or State authorities
to permit local condemnation pro-
oeedings, the other direct purchase Of
land by the Federal Government by
negotiation without condemnation.
The court ruling affecting the Gin
cinnati case, officials said, did not
challenge the right Of the Govern
ment to install low-rent housing, but
confined itself to the method Of land
acquisition.

PYRAMIDING TAXES

When America came to birth, it was planted
upon the fundamental of tax equality, but 1t has
rapidly been moving away from that theory. And
by no method quite sure or swift as that CT
duplicate taxes.
In 1882, for example, the last year for which
complete figures are available, II states imposed
an income tax similar to that of the federal gov
eminent ..
Five states had income taxes which were some
what more restricted in application. Twenty states
and two territories imposed taxes on corporation
income in addition to the federal levy.
Thus, businesses and individuals paid an identi-
cal tax twice, to the Encouragement of industrial
expansion, employment and normal spending.
Conditions are even worse in the field of special
or class taxation. In 1882, there were 172 specific
items where taxes were duplicated by two or more
units of government. Since then, the number has
increased.
The example of gasoline is the most common
it is taxed heavily by all states, is taxed in addi-
ton by the federal government and, in a number
of areas is taxed again by counties and municipal
ties.-Julian S. Miller in Charlotte Observer.

WHAT A MAN is FARMER DAVIS!

A resident of Mecklenburg county, alo-
ed and abetted by man from York coun-
ty, South Carolina, went on foraglng eA-
petition in Mecklenburg. They were rob-
bling chicken yards on an extensive scale

then they made a raid on the chickens OF
R. B. Davis of Mallard Creek township,
and their next stop was hospital.
Farmer Davis filled the thieves with
buckshot The newspaper account says
they are seriously but not fatally injured.
It is believed this incident marks the high
tide of chicken stealing in Mecklenburg,
where, we are informed by The Charlotte
Observer, it has reached alarming pro
portions" 1t is believed now that conster-
nation reigns in the ranks Of Mecklenburg
fowl lifting residents and that visiting
South CarolinianS will be more careful OF
their conduct in the future.
The action of Farmer Davis of Mecklen-
burg is an inspiring example for good citi-
zens throughout the State. After all, his
way is the swiftest and most effective way
to stop the surging waves of housebreak-
ing and stealing which have been sweep
ing many sections of the State.

THE GENERAL WILL TAKE THE
MONEY

General Hugh S. Johnson (no doubt you
have heard of the gentleman) is going to
write for the newspapers-for money.
In view of his so frequently expressed
views as to the total depravity of the press,
one is led to wonder how the General could
possibly bring himself to the point of agree
ing to accept money from the newspapers.
1t is true the General supplied the news
papers with a lot of copy without cost in
months past Probably thinks turn about is
fair play.

Representative Sherard voted in the

his opponents the opportunity to say, eve

tary remarks.

Paris Looking 10
1897 Exposition

PARIS, March 10 (UP?-The
esthetic have been advocating do
inc something about the Troca-
dero--preferably something in
yolving dynamite-before Paris
puts on it's 1897 exposition, but
the latest inside information runs
along the lines of "try and do
it."
City architects say the Troca-
dero is there to stay. 1t was built
solid.
There is no question of taking
brick from brick, and lath from
plaster. The Trocadero, big and
urgly as it is, Of enduring stone,
large hard chunks of it. When,
after the war, engineers set to
work to dig a niche in the wall OF
the main hall for a moving pic
ture machine they nearly gave
up in despair.
NEED FIELD ARTILLERY
They don't went to tackle the
lob of taking it all down unless
the government gives them field
artillery to do it with. Even with
that, they doubt if slightly over
a wear is time enough.
When the Trocadero was built
in 1878, it was considered to be
something special in the way of
architecture. 1t still is, but of a
kind that led the government to
offer prizes for projects for
masking the Trocadero to convert
it from a stylish stout to a sylph-
like modern young lady. All the
projects were awful, so attention
turned on preparing it for the
1887 exposition by carting it
away.
LOST MUSEUMS
Now that doesn't seem to be
very easy. Besides where then is
the city going to put the Indo-
chinese Museum, the Museum of
Comparative Sculpture, the Eth
nographic Museum and the Gin
ema Repository?
There are rumored to be other
museums lost in some of the
further stretches of the unehart-
ed cellars of the Trocadero, but
the custodian couldn't swear to
it. He said all he knew about
the underlying catacombs is that
when the ethnographers start
preserving specimens of the less
advanced races in assorted chem
icals, the subterranean reaches
are no place for man with
whole lungs-or even with frag-
mentary ones.

Jubilee Extends
L.ondon's Season
Will Be Longest Social
Period There

LONDON, March 10. CUP)-
London will have the longest soc
;aE season ever this. summer, and
the gayest since Queen Victoria's
Diamond Jubilee.
. Two months have been added
to the season. The silver jubilee
celebrations in May made it
necessary to hold two Of the four
rovaI courts in March. The re-
suit is that the round OF COM
;na.out parties for debutantes
balls, and dinner parties will
merge with the jubilee festivities.
, During this time millions of
mounds which normally are idle
will be- spent. 1t has been COM
,puted that 100000 visitors from
overseas last year spent 500
100000 in Great Britain. With
the worldwide publicity which is
being given to the silver jubilee,
the visit of the dominions' prime
ministers, the special appeal to
Britons overseas, and the longer
season, there is little doubt that
this figure will be doubled.
/. Every municipality is organiza-
ing some form of festivity. All
over the country there will be
parties for children, treats for
old folks, firework displays, gar
den parties and extra relief for
the poor. The London boroughS
are each spending sums varying
from $4,000 to $4,000, Brigh-
ton, London's Coney Island, is to
spend $4,000, and Liverpool
$4,000.

Wishing not to die, striving by
all possible means to stay alive
