INTERESTING SIDELIGHTS ON
POINTS IN HICKMAN TRIAL

cross examined Detective Lucas as
to his opinion of Hickman s sanity
c1 insanity based upon his transact
ions with him and the witness stated
that Hickman was sane the defense
was bound by the answer.
Own Words Convict
Hickman has convinced the jury
of his sanity by the testimony Of
his own witness, in other words.
The second telling blow to the de-
fcnse of insanity was delivered
through the deposition Of Captain
Charles Edwards, former chief of
police of Kansas City. The defense
deposition read to the jury was a
boomerang, in my judgement.
Captain Edwards IN his testimony
flatly denied that he had ever en-
tcrtaincd an opinion of Hickman s
insanity.
1t is claimed that the defense in
troduced Hickman s brutal confes-
sion for the purpose of convincing
the jury that anyone voluntarily con
Tossing to such heinous crime must
he insane.
Under this line of reasoning any
defendant who confcsses to de-
liberately calculated and premedit-
ated murder is insane. That, how
ever, is not the law of California
On the contrary, such evidence is
proof of murder in the first degree,
removing all possible cxtenuating
circumstances and assuring death on
the gallows.
Alienists To Testify
Today the defense will begin call
ing alicnists to the stand to give
their expert opinions on the insanity
Of Hickman, based upon hypothet-
zeal questions propounded to them.
The Hypothetical questions will un-
doubtodly be several pages long but
the substance will be:
Assuming that a person whose
ancestors were 'nutty' persons, de-
pressed i'll spirit, disappointed in the
struggle of life, acted queer and
had impaired minds. And further as
suming that such person was Of
brilliant mind and was actively en-
gagged in an oratorical debate but
lost said debate; and assuming fur
ther that after his defeat in said
debate, he lost interest in his as
sociatcs, and his love for his girl
cooled, and he showed lack of inter
est in all school activities; and as.
suming further, that such person
committed murder, brutally dismem-
herring the body Of little child,
and delivering half of the body to
the child 5 father to receive the
paltry sum of $500 and then volun-
turilv confessed TO such murder. In
your opinion is such a person sane
or insane -
The opinion Of the defense alien.
lists undoubtedly Will be that person
Is insane.
But their opinions will be empty

diploma MILL" BILL
URGED ON CONGRESS
Chamber of Commerce Directors
Plan Appeal for Enactment at
Coming Session.

Plans for urging prompt enactment
of the diploma mill' bill at the APP
preaching session of Congress were laid
at the meeting last night of the direc-
tors of the Washington Chamber of
Commerce, one of the chief proponents
of the measure.
Mai. William O. Tufts, chairman of
the committee on universities, colleges
and private schools, which aided In the
drafting of the bill, reported that the
measure is in a strategic position" for
passage, but pointed to the need for
prompt action at the opening Of Con-
greSS.
It was planned to hold joint lunch
con of representatives of local organi-
cations sponsoring the bill on or near
the opening day of the session Of Con-
eress to which Senators and Represen-
tatives on committees concerned partic-
ularly with the bill would be invited as

MOTHERS TO WAR
ONFLAPPER STYLE
Parents of High School Girls
to Urge Ban on Silk
Stockings.

Silk stockings, high-heeled shoes,
elaborate dresses and expensive fur
coats for high school girls will be made
the target of a group of Washington
mothers at the meeting of the Board
of Education this afternoon when Mrs.
Bertha Eldred, member of the Con-
gress Heights Parent Teacher Associaa
tion,s appears before the board to aug
ment resolution adopted by that as
ISOLATION in placing it on record as
favoring uniform dress" for school
girls.
The desire for costly clothing. several
mothers told The Star today, is reSpon-
sible for great unhappinesS of high
school girls in their classes and in their
homes and in some instances, which
they said they would cite, mothers have
been obliged to withdraw their daugh-
tiers from high school because of the
embarrassment suffered by the sensi-
tive children of less wealthy parents
who cannot afford to dress them as
extensively as many of their fellow stu
dents are dressed.
In the resolution which the Congress
Heights mothers sent to the Board of
Education, a middle blouse and skirt Is
suggested as an ideal costume for
schoolgirls. Since that resolution was
adopted however, smocks of different
colors for the various classes have been
proposed as suitable dress. The
Smock, it Is explained by the mothers,
would enable girl to wear the same
simple dress almost every day, whereas
at present the keen competition which
the schoolgirls have entered into in the
matter of dress requires them to vie
with one another in the wearing Of
elaborate dresses and in frequent
changes of costume.
Extremely high heels also come under
the attack by the mothers and in their
resolution they suggest that only Cuban
heels" or other heels of sensible height"
be allowed girls in school. One high
school girl recently was told by a ply
stefan that he could not pass" her in
her physical examination for swimming
activity at the Young Women's Chris
tan Association because she had heart
trouble. The physician declared, the
mother said today, that the wearing Of
extremely high heels had affected the
girls heart.
At Eastern High School, one mother
told The Star. girl student carries a
costly fur coat around ON her arm from
classroom to classroom because the
value of the coat renders It unwise to
leave it in the school lockers.
The cost of high school education
Is in itself sufficient burden for most
families to. bear on behalf of their
daughters, parents said today. without
the added luxury of costly clothing that
not only taxes the family budget but
assails all pretenses of good taste as
well. If some restriction on girls dress
can be adopted, they commended, more
young girls would remain in high school
and greater happiness would prevail in
the thousands of more modest homes
of the District.
