DOOMED NEGRO
LOSES APPEAL

Malcolm Howard, colored, under
sentence of death for killing Jessie
Nelson, also colored, on March z,
with whom he said he had lived for
six years, lost his fight to escape
the electric chair today when the
Court of Appeals affirmed the SEN
tence of the trial court.
Howard was to have been electro
cuted May Fl, but will probably be
granted a stay. as the appeals court
withholds its mandate Is days be-
fore the death warrant can be issued.
Towards appeal was based on the
constitutionality of the statute max
ing optional the service Of women
jurors. 1t will be recalled that the
jury which convicted Howard con-
sisted of 10 men and two women.
The court held that inasmuch as
the objection to the women jurors
was not made until after the con-
viction had been obtained, 1t was un'
necessary to pass on the constitu'
tional phase OF the case. The ap'
peal was denied solely on the
grounds that the objection had not
been made at the proper time.
The verdict in Towards case was
the first to he returned In aatfial for

SUIT HERE

The Court of Appeals toocy sus.
tanned the judgment of the District
Supreme Court IN refusing ,c allow
Waldemar Konrad Ernst Anton Will
helm Ferdinand Won Zedwitz, n OF
a German nobleman, and the Ba
roness Elizabeth Caldwell Won Zed-
witz. former Louisville, KY. girl, to
recover from the Alien Property Gus
todian the $4,OOO,O0O estate of his
American-born mother.
The estate was seized while Won
Zedwitz was serving in the German
army during the world war. Before
her marriage to Baron Moritz Kurt
Won Zedwitz the mother of the APP
pelant presented Caldwell Hall to
Catholic University.
Won Zedwitz had claimed that ne
was a Swiss subject and that he had
held no formal written commission
in the German crmy. His mother,
he said, had been naturalized as
Swiss citizen while he still was
under age.
The court today held that Won
Zedwitz had not presented suffici-
ent proof of his mothers 1O-year
absence from Germany as required
by German law, and that the Swiss
naturalization merely conferred a
dual citizenship, which Is recog-
nized by German law.
The court further held that when
Won Zedwitz accepted his commits
sion in the German army and be-
gan enjoying the privileges OF the
rank, his German citizenship was
restored. whether he held a formal
written commission or not.

GROUP TOLD

of the organization at their annual
meeting in the chambers headquar-
tiers. today.
The country can afford tax re.
duction," said Mr.. Pierson, 1T
cannot longer afford to be denied
it."
1t is important for the future of
business, the speaker said, that the
Federal Government cease to rely
on excessive and wartime taxes for
its revenue, and that the country
be placed upon an equitable peace
time basis of taxation"
Mr. Pierson declared that the ma
tional chamber, through a referen-
dunn, put itself squareIy on record
in favor of tax reduction, and urged
that the sentiment expressed in this
referendum be carried through to
a practical conclusion.
He told the councillors that the
chamber favors a balance between
government income and expendi'
lures. as against the amassing of
large surpluses in the Treasury,
which are merely IAN inducement
for demands on Congress for ex-
travagant spending"

White Belts Urged For

Harland

White Sam Brown belts for
traffic policemen may be the
fashion of the properly dressed
police this spring.
: Traffic Director William II.
Harland has laid such a proposal
before Inspector e. w. Brown, in
charge of traffic and the new
toys may adorn the officer who
manipulates the Stop and Go
signs here.
Traffic officers should wear a
distinctive uniform, Mr.. .Harland
holds. and the Sam Brown belt,
in white, would make him easy
to see both day and night. Many
motorists, Mr.. Harland points out,
find it difficult to see the officer,
particularly IL they are from out
of the city and are unfamiliar
with the intersections where
traffic officers are on duty.

BITTER BATTLE
FORECAST ON
BOULDER Dam
Hiram Johnson Will Lead
Fight for Measure at
Congress Opening.
BY RUTH FINNEY -
Times Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-Lines
are formed for the last great battle
for the swing-Johnson Boulder
dam bill.
Senator Hiram w. Johnson, ar
irving from California, definitely
has put to rest rumors that his
health would not permit him to
conduct a vigorous fight. He re-
covered recently from an attack of
grip and is in excellent health.
He has not announced a definite
plan of strategy for the opening at
tack, but says he will exert every
effort to have the bill passed as soon
as possible. His opponents are
equally silent as to what they will
do.
The Boulder dam bill will come
before the senate the day congress
opens. 1t has a preferred position
on the calendar of business. It's
best chance of success lies in the
opening days of congress and in all
probability a strong effort will be
made to pass it before the Christ
mas holidays.
Want to Escape Jam
Only in this way can the bill
escape being caught in the legis-
lative jam that always characterizes
a short session. Appropriation bills
will be laid before the senate with
in a week or so of the opening, and
hey nave priority over other
-neasu. IS, and occupy a great deal
of time.
So far as it's contents have been
made public, the special engineer
ing report on the project just made
to President Coolidge has improved
the bills prospects for passage, it
is believed here.
Although an attempt undoubtedly
will be made to capitalize the sug-
gestion that the cost will be forty
million dollars greater than the
estimate Of the reclamation bureau.
the charge that the dam was not
feasible or not safe has been dis
posed of, and that was the major
point of attack last spring.
Has Passed House
The Swing-Johnson bill, some
what amended, already has passed
the house, and may be substituted
for the senate bill to expedite
passage. If it can be passed in the
senate without important modif1-
cation, the bill might be sent to the
President within two months.
1t is probable, however, that an
