WASHINGTON, Jan. (ANP) -
Female students, interested in av-
iation, have not been accepted in
some of the Negro institutions au-
thorized by the government to
teach aeronautics to colored stud
ents, largely because there have
been no facilities for their accom-
mediation and instruction at the
fields.
In one large university, the girls
flocked to the class seeking admis-
sion and wanted by all mean to reg
lister, but they were gently turned
away on account of the lack of ac-
commodations for them and told
that when the accommodations
were available, female students
would be welcome. As the ruling
now stands, one tenth of the quota
at any school may be of the gentler
sex.

Editor Warns
Against Getting On
Garner ~Bandwagon'
Calls Vehicle n Steam Roller
Against the Negro Franchise"

HOUSTON, Jan. (ANP) Bemoan-
ing the fact that many Negroes of
the East, West and North might be
misled by campaign propaganda
proclaiming the 'liberalismn of
Texas John Nance Garner, avowed
candidate for the Democratic pres
idential nomination, the editor of
the Houston Informer, in a recent
editorial warned that in Texas the
Democratic party is the State and
the State, the party.
Citing a case in point, the InIor-
mer's editor took issue with G. A.
Franklin, publisher of the Kansas
City Call, declared: "We're astound
ed to see Mr.. Franklin write that
Mr.. Garner comes from Texas
where Negroes vote Since when
did Negroes in Texas vote? 1.-THE
Informer's editorial continues:
Until we read Mr.. Franklin's
editorial, we never thought there
vas any difference in effect or in
jury between the disfranchisement
practiced in Underwood's Alabama
and that practiced in Gamers Tex
as. We couldn't see why Negroes
should refuse to support Under
wood for being an exponent of dis
reimbursement in Alabama, where
they have the Grandfather Clause
and still find room for praise and
support of Garner, the champion of
the pernicious primary bar. But
now Mr.. Franklin tells us blandly:
=" Other Southern Democrats
have been talked of for the presi-
dency. Underwood of Alabama is
a notable example. But, good man
though he was, he came from a
state whose disfranchisement of
part of its citizenry was so patiently
a violation of the spirit of the Con-
stitution, that he was not accept
able in the East and North. Garner
is fortunate. He comes from
Texas, where Negroes VOTE
Commenting on this Franklin
statement, the Informer said:
Everybody who reads, knows
that under Mr.. Gamers primary
system, elections are determined in
the Democratic primary. If 500 900
people vote in the Democratic pri-
mary, less than 100000 vote in the
general election because they know
that the general election vote is
merely a gesture. In Texas, there
is no such thing as a two-party sys-
tenn. And Negroes, being barred
from the Democratic primary have
no effective vote.
"1n Texas, the Democratic party
furnishes and controls the officials
Of the ~state;; and the State is the
party, and the party is the State.
The Negroes of Texas are hoping
that disinterested Negroes through
out the country will not help to
cruelty them by jumping on the
Garner bandwagon, which is a
steamroller against the Negro
franchise"

Lowe is Incorrect"
Hope Precedent Set

He pointed out that when the
mental age of a defendant is deter
mined by these methods it becomes
unnecessary to rely upon the opin-
ion of an alienist. In such cases
the alienist simply testifies that a
person of such mental age would be
unable to distinguish between right
and wrong.
Although at present DR.. Thomp-
son is the only man in Nebraska
qualified to give such tests, both
DIR. Thompson and William N. ia
mieson, attorney for Lowe, hope a
precedent has been established in
determining of mental competence
in criminal cases.

Evidence Based on Tests

DR.. Thompson pointed out yes
terday that previous cases depen-
ded upon the testimony of an ali
enist, usually a doctor of medicine,
who told of the inabality of the de-
PENDANT to distinguish between
right and wrong. The evidence,
he said, was usually competent but
not based on scientific tests.
In the Lowe case, he said, the
evidence was based on a series of
five tests observed by a roomful of
witnesses unseen by Lowe. Each
of the tests indicated Lowe had the
mental age of a child of 5 years and
IL months.
"The evidence was so conclusive"
DR.. Thompson said, land the tests
so accurate that it is inconceivable

Young Hal Newhouser, 18.year-old
Detroit lefthander today pitched De-
troit to a 5 to 8 victory over the
Washington Senators in the only
game played in the American league.
Rain caused postponement around
the circuit.
While Newhouser was keeping the
Senators in check, his mates were
combing Rookie Sid Hudson for eight
hits, five of them for extra bases.
Hudson's wildness also hurt him.
TIL eformer Florida State Lacquer
issued seven walks to bring the total
base on balls Washington pitchers
have handed out in the last two
games to %.
The Senators got to Newhouser
for a run in the first when George
Case walked, stole second and scored
on Cecil Travis double. They count
ed again in the third when Travis
scored on Jimmy Pofahl's single but
from then until two men were out
in the ninth, Newhouser didn't al.
low a hit. To make his pitching
even more emphatic, he didn't allow
a Washington batsman to get the
ball u of the infield until Case
doubled John Welaj home in the
final frame.
Detroit scored two runs in the Sec
ond when Bruce Campbell walked
and Rudy York hit a homer into the
centerfield bleachers 402 feet away.
They got another in the fifth when
Barney McCoskey tripled and tai.
lied on Charley Gehringer's long fly.
Their fourth I'LL came in the sixth
as Birdie Tebbetts walked, went to

But successive walks to John

Louis in front in the second.
The Giants quickly hit up in the
third with Joe Moore's single ard
Mel Otis third home run of the
season, but the Cards got a. run in

Johnny Rucker proceeded to make
two errors in center field. He
dropped Joe Medwick's liner for a
gled to center, he fumbled the ball
long enough for the hulking first
baseman to lope to second. This
was where Melton relieved Hy Van
denberg and also where the Cards
got off the scoring trail.
The Giants kept right on going,
Joe Moore opening the fifth with a
double and bringing Clyde Shoun to
the rescue of Curt Davis. 1t was
the 18th straight game a St. Louis

the eighth relief appearance for
Shoun, who was today's loser. He

GAME WILL OPEN
PIRATES SEASON
Or Hicks To Hurl For
Bulldogs; Locals May
Use Three Pitchers

The Wilmington Pirates will open
their 1910 baseball season against
the Atlantic Christian college var
sity nine at Legion field tonight at
8 o'clock, with a preliminary
round of festivities marking the
event.

several college baseball teams
that are scheduled to play the Buc-
cancers here in the next few weeks.
All three of the Bucs' leading
moundsmen, Jack Shoaf, Eddie

will be admitted free and will be
seated in a special bleacher sec

wards, Sellers, Steffano and S.
McKeithan rounding out the infield.
The outfield will be selected from
Trogden, Webster, Afford, Carter
and Hines.
Coach Hodges announced a few
