RENO. New. March 1S-Gov EN-
NETT Boyle will sign the humane
death bill. which has passed the as
sembly and senate. The mea sure.
which is declared by its authors to
be the first of it's kind in the United
States. provides that all executions of
sentence on persons condemned to
death shall be by administration of
lethal gas. At present the law of the
state permits condemned person to
select death. either by hanging or
shooting.
The condemned person under the
new law will not know the exact time
for death. A special cell will be built
at the state penitentiary for those
sentenced to die. The judge who
passes sentence upon the condemned
criminal will appoint a week within
which judgment will be executed. and
the person SO condemned will be
placed in the cell at the opening Of
that period.

GERMANY IN DOUBT OVER
EXECUTION OF ASSASSIN
Slayer of Turkeys Former Grand
Vizier Was Politically
Inspired.
BY the Associa ted Press.

BY the Associated Press. -.
BERLIN. March IA lively dis
cussion has arisen as to whether Salo-
men Teiliran, the Armenian. who as
sassinated former Grand Vizier Talaat
Pasha Of Turkey Tuesday in Berlin.
should be executed by decree of the
German courts. Teiliran has confessed
to numbering Talaat and there were
many witnesses of the crime.
While the crime was inspired by po
iitical motives, it is argued that it
cannot be regarded as a political
crime under international usage. even
though both victim and murderer
were foreigners, and the German
courts therefore must prosecute the
murderer of the man whom the en-
tente officials demanded some time
ago should be tried for wholesale Ar
menian deportations and massacres in
Asia Minor.
Although the German law provides
the death penalty for murderers
President Ebert always has commuted
death sentences to life Imprisonment
because Of opposition by the social
lists to capital punishment.

TEXAS BILL AIMED
AT XII KLUX KLAN
Would Prescribe Penalties for Persons
Disgusting Themselves and InfIlct-

AUSTIN, Tex. July PA resolution
requesting that bill to prescribe penal
ties for persons 'disguising themselves
and violating the laws of the state by in
flicting punishment upon persons against
whom no legal complaint had been filed
be submitted to the Texas legislature,
was presented TO Governor Neff today by
Representative Putnam. It bore the sig
natures of forty-nine state representa-

aimed at the Ku Klux Khan.
Mr. Putnam said he also showed the
governor what purported to be an APP
plication blank for membership in the
Invisible Empire, Knights of the Ku
Klux Khan"
The petition to Governor Neff was
originated as a result of activities of
masked bands which during the last few
months have flogged or tarTed and .feath-

HERE is MORE ABOUT
BOMBING
STARTS ON PAGE ONE

this proof of the claim of Brig. General
Mitchell, assistant chief of the army
air service. that the airship was MAX
ing battleships obsolete.
With the sinking of the Ostfriesland,
the airmen during the month of joint
bombing tests off the coast had sent
down by means of bombs practically
every type of fighting ship-a subma-
rine, a destroyer, a cruiser, and a
dreadnaught. In addition navy airmen
had found and bombed the old battle
ship Iowa, while that craft was seek
ing to approach the coast from the
sea under radio control.
Soon after the Ostfriesland disap-
peared between the surface of the sea,
Secretary DENLY, who with Admiral
Koontz, chief of naval operations, and
many other high naval officers, army
officers and members of congress had
viewed the bombing from the naval
transport Henderson, issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"The plunge of the Ostfriesland,
when she sank after the terrific pound
ing of the last few days, ended one
of the most remarkable and interest
ing series of experiments ever con-
Quoted. They had been practically
perfect In coordination between the
two services, and have been charac-
terized throughout by fine spirit Of
comradeship. Scientific conclusions of
the utmost value undoubtedly will re-
suit from the series. One outstanding
and a most admirable feature has been
the splendid courage and skill Of the
airmen. l congratulate them with all
my heart"
Major General Charles r. Mencher
chief of the army service, who also
was aboard the Henderson, declared
in statement that he did not think
the sinking of the Ostfriesland showed
that the battleship was doomed, but
that it did show that the aerial bomb
constituted a real menace to capital
ships which must be met.
"a cold material fact has been DEM
onstrated," he said "That fact is
that the battleship can be sunk by the
aerial bomb. That's the real lesson
of this affair. The only thing to be
done is to view that as cold, material
fact, and attack the problem accord
ingly
81 have not changed my mind at all
as to the result of these bombing ma
neuvers. I have always contended
that the bomb did constitute a very
grave menace to the capital ship and
that extraordinary precautions had to
be taken to meet the menace. That's
the whole story"
Naval officers and most of the mem
bers present were understood to have
taken the same view. Naval experts
said the science of naval construction
had not progressed to the point where
ship could be built which would
withstand such explosions as those ec-
curing almost directly alongside the
Ostfriesland. They said the problem
of protecting the battleship would have
to be attacked just as was that of
protecting the torpedo and later again
submarines.
