CLAUSE IN SOUTH
 TESTED
(By Associated Press)


 WASHINGTON, May 5-For more than fifteen years the Grandfather Clause" has been inserted in Consti- tutions of southern states. The most popular form has been to exempt from educational and property tests for voting those who could vote in 1866, 1867 or 1868, thus leaving the tests to apply to those who did not vote at those dates.
 The Oklahoma grandfather clause provides that no srpeon shall be registered as an elector in this state, or be allowed to vote in any election herein, unless he be able to read and write any section of the constitution of the State of Oklahoma, but no per son who was, on January 1, 1866, or at any time prior thereto, entitled to vote under any form of government, or who at that time resided in some fore ign nation, and no lineal descendent of such person, shall be denied the right otregister and vote because of his inability to so read and write sec tlons of such constitution
 In Maryland the clause was inserted In the laws governing elections fin various cities. In 1908, 1t was inserted in the law governing municipal cleo tions in the city of Annapolis. It au- thorized the registration as voters of all taxpayers of the city assessed for at least $500; all duly naturalized citizens, all male children of natural ized citizens 21 years of age, ana "all citizens, who prior to January l, 1868, were entitled to vote in the state or Maryland or in any other state of the United States at a state election, and the lawful male descendants of any person whi prior to January I, 'S68, were entitled to vote in the state of Maryland or in any other state or the United States at a state election"
 Various arguments were advanced to meet the attack that these clauses violated the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution providing that " the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race. color or previous condition of servitude."
 Another line of argument was that the clauses did not deny or "abridge" the right of negroes so vote, as forbidden by the fifteenth amend ment, but it merely discrimrnated against them by allowing those ne- groes to vote without meeting the qualifications imposed ostensibly upon all.

The proposed tour of Australia by the Leland Stanford University base ball team Is likely to be abandoned for the coming year at least. Advices from Sydney say that owing to the war such a trip would prove a financial failure. The California collegians out lined a schedule providing for a stay of some thirty odd days in Australia with the possibility of side trip to New Zealand. The New South Wales Baseball Association did not, however. feel that conditions warranted the en- couragement of the tour. Tn normal times such a series of games between Stanford and the Australian Uniyer. sity hines would undoubtedly pay all expenses of the trip but the unsettled affairs of the commonwealths proved a stumbling block in the present nego- tiations.

These rules adopt ed by the Knickerbocker Association of New York in 1S45, read as follows:
 "The bases shall be from home to second base, forty-five paces; from first to third base, forty-two paces, eqi- distant

 Three balls being struck at and missed, and the last one caught is a hand out; if not caught is considered fair and the striker bound to run.
 "If ball be struck or tipped, and caught either flying or on the nrst be thrown at him.
 "A player running the bases shall be out If the ball is in the hands of an adversary on the base or if the run. her is touched with 1t before he makes his base; it being understood, how ever, that in no instance is a ball to be thrown at him.
 "A player running who shan pre- vent an adversary from catching or getting the ball before making his base is a hand out.

falling on American soil from the

ment officials today said that word

Unless the firing into United States
territory ceased quickly. officials here
believe Gen. Funston would act rather
than submit American lives to more
danger. The reports received at the
war and state departments early today
indicate that both sides are aware Of
the danger of firing into the United
States and were trying not to do SO.
Funston's report sent last night. said
that indications were that Villas
forces would capture the town.
General Funston Is in personal COM
