Bar Meet in Word
Scrap Over Power U. S.
to Control AerOnautics

Cincinnati, o., Sept. 2-COnf1icting
views on the power of the national
government to control aeronautics
caused heated debate before the con-
vention of the American Bar Asso-
citation late today when the report OF
the committee on the law of aviation
was received and finally adopted
after numerous substitute resolutions
had failed. The report advocated
that the bar association give atten-
ton to the "fundamental problems of
Jurisprudence" without venturing
into the field of practical aviation
and left the question of legislation
open to congress.
The proposition that it was an
invasion of the rights of private
ownership of property to utilize the
air for flying was challenged by the
report which was presented by
Charles A. Boston of New York,
chairman of the committee. I'VE
submit that it should be the law that
it is not an invasion of private
rights if fight is accomplished with
out jeopardizing any right usually
enjoyed in the ownership of land, b"
the report said.
Major jefferson Davis of Los An
geles. former air service officer,
raised strenuous objections to sef-
eral of the features of the report
which he declared would retard
aviation for ten years He dis
agreed with the opinion of the COM
mittee that a constitutional amend
ment might be necessary to enact
proper legislation.
A few minor reports were heard
and the convention adjourned to the
annual dinner tonight. the conclud-
, ing function of the convention. Chief
Justice Taft acted as POSTMASTER.

IN The LEAD in

Latest Census Shows That Greater
Number Women Than Men
Are Naturalized

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 24.-The
Department of Commerce, through
the Bureau of the Census, today is
sued preliminary statement giving
for each city having 100000 inhabi-
tants or more the citizenship status
of the foreign-born white population
Il years of age and over, as ascer-
tanned at the census taken rs of Jan.
!, 1920. A preliminary statement Civ
ing corresponding figures for the Unit
ed States as whole and for the in
dvidual states was issued under date
of July %. 1921.
Foreign-born white persons aged 81
years and over are classified into four
groups, namely, naturaliZed, those
having taken out first papers" prep
at0ry to naturalization, aliens, and
those whose citizenship status was
mot ascertained by the enumerators
The group whose citizenship status is
unknown was smaller for every city
of 100000 inhabitants or more in 1920
than in 1910, and this affects the com
parability of the figures for the two
census years. 1t is probable that the
majority of persons for whom the
citizenship status could not be ascer-
tanned were aliens, and this should be
borne in mind in comparing the per-
centageS for 1920 and 1910. The pro
portions naturalized and having first
papers are not likely to be so greatly
affected by the size of the unknown
group.
In general, the proportion natural
lied increased somewhat between

number of cities it decreased. In the
case of every city except San Fran
cisco, however. the proportion having
first papers increased, and many OF
the increases were very large.
The largest proportion naturalized
in 1920 is shown for Louisville, 699
per cent, and the smallest for San An
tonic, POS In 10 cities-Albany
Cincinnati. Denver, Des Moines
Louisville. Minneapolis, Nashville, St
Paul, Salt Lake City, and Spokane
the proportion naturalized was more
than 60 per cent. The largest increase
in the proportion naturalized was that
for Spokane-fr6m 444 per cent in
1910 to 629 per cent in 1920, and the
largest decrease was that for San
Antonio-from 423 per cent in 1910
to 2O.6 per cent in 1920 The very
small proportion naturalized in Fort
