WIDOW, CHARGED WITH MURDER,

R-Garbed in her widows

ner in which two negroes killed

.Maddux Air Lines
Officials VIII Fly
To Douglas Dec. II

That the Maddux Air Lines, Inc, are
to establish regular airplane pass
enger and freight service from the
coast to Ell Paso, was considered as al
most a certainty yesterday when a
letter was received here from VIII N.
Fox, secretary of the MadduX affairs.
The letter states that the company Of
1icials will fly from Los Angeles di-
rectly to Douglas on December II and
that Governor G.. W. P. Hunt of Ari-
zona will be here for the reception TO
the fliers. r
While negotiations have been going
forward for some weeks to arrange for
Governor Hunt to make the trip from
Phoenix to Douglas in the big IL
passenger plane, Fox said nothing in
his letter yesterday to indicate whether
the governor will fly down or come by
auto.
In the letter, which was addressed
to E. ]. Huxtable, local postmaster,
and one Of the leaders in the Douglas
chapter of the N. A. A., Fox again re-
ferS indirectly to the breach upon the
last appearance of the MadduX party
here when they were unable to keep
their appointment with the governor
and the local officials. He says, "The
trip this time is being arranged ex-
pressly for the purpose of visiting
Douglas and I assure you that we will
be able to attend to every detail Of
the reception
The Maddux official does not set the
date definitely, but suggests that in
asmuch as Governor Hunt, he states,
is prepared to be, in Douglas at that
time, he asks if that date will be agree
able. No action in regard to the letter
was taken last night but will be today.

has established regular air traffic

and San Diego They fly from Los
Angeles to San Diego in 10 minutes,
making the trip in big 12-passenger
Ford Stout planes and carrying many
passengers.

stated They will fly one 12-passenger

ably one stop between the two big
cities.

SEGREGATION

BY HIGH COURT
Local School Heads Say Col
Ored Children Have Better
Opportunities

PHOENIX, Ariz, Dec. S, R-Af-
firming a decision of the Cochise
county superior court, the state su-
prenae court today held that school
boards and school trustees are JUS
titled in segregating pupils of the
nagro race from other pupils, pro-
vided the segregated class is given
accommodations and facilities fol
obtaining an education equal to the
other pupils.
The case in question was brought
by Fairfax Burnside, minor through
his father and guardian, for a writ
of mandamus to compel the board
of trustees of the Douglas high
school to grant him admission to a
certain building devoted to high
school instruction in the city OF
Douglas The Cochise county superior
court refused to grant the writ OF
mandamus and an appeal was brought.
Justice A. c. Lockwood, wrote the
opinion in the case and it was con-
CURED in by Chief Justice H. D. Ross
and Justice A. G.. McAlister.
The record of the case shows that
the board of trustees of the Douglas
high school, although refusing to
allow the plaintiff and two other
negro children to receive high school
instruction in the same building by
the white pupils Of the district set
apart room in another building
and provided them all of the facl-
tiles that were possessed by the
white pupils.

WITH HOOVER
ON AIR RULES
Secretary Estimates 5000
Airplanes Have Been
Made This Year.
AIR TRANSPORT
$4,000 Miles Per Day Being
Flown in Commercial Ser
vice, Said.

WASHINGTON Dec. 5 R-Leaders
in commercial aviation summoned to
Washington to consider the govern
ment's part in air development, was
told today by Secretary Hoover that
the commerce departments only pur-
pose in laying down air regulations
was, to aid the progress of aviation
He asked for advise and suggestions.
The secretary estimated that 5000
airplaneS had been manufactured for
commercial use in the United States
this year, and that $4,000 miles per
day was being blown by machines in
commercial service. He predicted the
utility of air transport in the United
States Turing the next few years would
be greatest in the movement of goods
and mails rather than in the carriage
of passengers.
"One thing is significant about the
development" Mr.. Hoover said, there
is not mile Of commercial air flying
done with the aid of government sub
sidy in the United States and yet i'll
Europe, where there has been some
greater development of commercial
passenger carriage, I do not believe
there is an air line running without
the aid of government subsidy"
During the discussion of the gov
ernment's air regulation policies, Clar-
ence CIamberlin, the transatlantic
flier, appealed for considerable len
iency. He said he might have been
unable to pass some of the rigid medi-
cal tests imposed upon present day
applicants for pilots license, if he were
beginner.
This drew rejoinder from Dr. L. FL.
Bauer, aviation medical director, who
said that less than one per cent of
$500 applicants N.1r license had been
turned down by his assistants, and that
waivers Of some physical defects had
been granted to 10 per cent.
The aviation leaders discussed SER
les of proposals advanced by Director
Young of the departments aerOnaut-
les bureau Opinion was declared to
be largely against suggestion that
war planes of the government sold as
salvage be barred from passenger car
rying, although the idea had some
support. There was some division over
the proposal that licensed commercial
planes be restricted to the use of Ii
censed lying fields.
