GERMAN ENVOY
 WELL PLEASED
Finds Social Air at Washington
 Cleared

Washington, Jan. '. P(-Winning back a place in the sun for Ger many on the social map of Washing ton is one of the many problems which nowadays besets every Ger man ambassador and his wife.
 The late Dr. Otto Wiedfeldt, Ger many's first ambassador after the conclusion of peace, frankly admit ted that to him had been assigned the role of ice breaker politically and socially. and in the latter part he found the going particularly rough at times.
 Grace and Tact Win
 But the present ambassador, Ba ron Ago von Maltzan and his wife find Washington society cleared of much of the wartime and post war debris, and what remains is rapidly giving way before the social graces and tactful procedure of what is called the new German embassy crowd"
 The Maltzans have scored de- cisively In the manner in which they have won a place in the capitals social life. The Baroness, who comes from a well known Westphalian in- dustrialist family, is no stranger to diplomatic social life and although a comparative newcomer to Wash ington she has quickly taken her place among the official hostesses of the Capital.
 Baron von Maltzan has proven himself a good mixer by his demo- cratic manner and his extended eS- perience in the German foreign service. He is fond of riding. tennis and golf and begins his official day carly in order to be able to spend his afternoons outdoors. He is & member of the Chevy Chase and Congressional country clubs.
 Wiedfelt a Business Man
 That the Baron also continues to enjoy the complete confidence of his home government was demonstrated when Dr. Stresemann, the German foreign minister, defended him in the Reichstag against attacks be- cause the Baron displayed the Ger man colors on the embassy building here last armistice day.
 Dr. Wiedfelt was not Service man." and it required considerable persuasion on the part of the Ger man foreign office to induce him to exchange his post as directing head oS tla Kr,pn cornOratiOn for the job of initiating the resumption of diplomatic relations with the United States in Washington. He referred good naturedly to his social isolation in the capital. and did not weary of comforting his immediate staff whose members not infrequently found themselves confronted by a chilly aloofness in their social rounds.

Back Of Trouble In

VANCOUVER, E. c., March % (F)-
"The same Boxer organization which
was responsible for the 1900 Boxer
war is still active in China and IL
at the root of lquch of the present
strife" declared the Rev. w. f. Sib.

On the streets of Chengtu, Szechwan

SUPREME COURT
RULES FALTEN
MUST Be HANGED
Shadow of GalIOws, That
HOvered Is Years Over
Man, Descends.

PHOENIX, March 28 R).-William
FaItin, convicted Maricopa county
murderer, over whom the shadow of
the gallows has lowered for Is years,
must be executed for the crime he COM
mitted in September, 1912, the state SUI
preme court ruled in effect today when
it failed to uphold Faltin's petition for
release under a writ of habeas corpus
upon the ground that he was being
illegally restrained of his liberty.
Death for the staying of Carl Peterson,
the high court held, should have been
remeted out to FaItin in 1917 after
certificate had been made out testify
in to the mans sanity. Faltin, after
twice having been sentenced to hang
by Maricopa superior judges, was in
1915 adjudged insane and removed to
the state hospital, from which he made
two unsuccessful attempt to escape.
During this time capital punishment
was voted out by the states electorate,
which in 1918 re-established the pun
ishment. 1t was on technical grounds
based on the repeal of the law pro-
viding for capital punishment that Fall
tins attorneys based their plea that he
was being illegally restrained of his
liberty.
The opinion handed down today was
written by Justice A. c. Lockwood and
concurred in by Chief Justice Fl. d.
Ross and Justice McAlister
Two recourses are left Faltin. His
attorneys may appeal the case of the
convicted man or may place his case
at the mercy Of the board of pardons.
