TAMPA, Fla. June I4.-Complete I'M
official returns from the state show

have resided just three days over four
years when he is inaugurated.

FIELD HEADQUARTERS GENERAL.
PERSHING, June 12.-(Via radio to Co.
lumbus, n. NJ, June 13.)-The finishing
blow was given TO largest surviving
band of Villa followers in Chihuahua
at daylight June by twenty men Of
the Thirteenth cavalry under Captain
Otto W. Retherst, in a dashing canyon
fight twenty miles north of Santa Clara
near here. The Americans were UNI
hurt.
The Americans routed twenty-five
bandits, killing three, wounding several
and capturing all their horses and sad
dies, some rifles and several thousand
rounds of ammunition. The band was
completely crippled.
A night ride brought the Americans
into the canyon at daybreak where they
followed fresh horse tracks. Riding at
a gallop they rounded a canyon turn
within two hundred yards of the bandits
who were encamped in a grove of pines
1t was a complete surprise. There was
a headlong rush among the Villa fol-
lowers who half clad, grasped rifles
and fought from behind trees.
The Americans dismounted and with
in three minutes had routed the bandits
who abandoned everything and sought
refuge in the rugged mountains. For
four hours the Americans continued the
pursuit climbing over the mountains
afoot, and fighting from the shelter of
rocks. Several Mexicans were shot, but
neither their bodies nor the wounded
were recovered.
This band is said to have been the
largest surviving remnant of the force
of Candelaria Cervantes, who was kill
ed three weeks ago in a brush with
Americans.

WOMEN ARE BARRED FROM
PRACTICING LAW IN CA.
Supreme Court AffirnS DeCi-
sion of Judge Pendleton
Made Months Ago

Women are ineligible to practice law
In the courts of the state of Georgia
under a construction of the civil code
handed down by the state supreme
court. all justices concurring. Wednes-
day morning.
In the headnotes the court holds:
"A system of laws is created by
statute in this state governing the adj
mission of applicants to the bar of the
courts of this state and prescribing
standards of eligibility or the appI-
cants. Under a proper construction of
the statutes on the subject, woman is
ineligible for admission to the bar"
The decision of the supreme court
is based primarily on section 1892 of
the civil code, as follows:
ANY male citizen of good moral
character, who has read law and under
gone a satisfactory examination as here
matter prescribed is entitled to plead
and practice law in this state"
The concluding paragraph of the opin-
len, based directly on the stipulation
of sex says,
"BY REASON OF HER SEX"
when the statutes of this state are
properly construed, a woman, by reason
Of her sex, is ineligible TO become a
The case cited was that of Mrs. M.
a Hale. a graduate of the Atlanta Law
school in 1911. She commended that her
diploma, granting the holder the right
to practice law n Georgia without the
formality of an examination before the
bar associat ton admitted her to the state
bar and applied to Judge John T. Pend
Teton, of the civil division of the su-
perior court. for formal admission. This
he refused for the sole reason that the
applicant was a female.
Mrs. Hale, on an eXparte nearing,
appealed the decision to the supreme
court of the state, with the result that
Judge Pendleton was affirmed.
DIPLOMA CAN'T CHANGE LAW.
In referring to the contention of the
applicant that her diploma from the
Atlanta Law school. gave her, with all
other graduates the right to practice
law in the state without an eXamina-
ton, the higher tribunal held that the
civil code governing the practice of
law took precedence over the intents
of the diploma and that the diploma
could create no exceptions to the real
meaning of the statues.
Under the ruling of the supreme
court, no woman will ever be eligible
to practice il the courts OF Georgia
unless the general assembly so amends
the law as TO read ANY male or fe-
male citizen, etc"
