~ D.CADFORESEE FORMRS, GARRICKS Mother Seen Eligible to Relief From City Pension Fund. Mrs. Alton Carricks of ‘109 Carroll street southeast. whose husband died of asphyxiation last Thursday and left her in destitute financial circum- stances, with five children to support, may be given financial relief from the mothers' pension fund of the District, it was leaned today at the Board of Public Welfare. Although Mrs. Carricks has not yet applied to the board for assistance, it was said that she is entitled to under the law. providing she has been a bona fide resident of the District for the last year. The act of Congress pro- viding home care for dependent chil- dren in the District says “that when- ever the parent of a child under the age of 16 vears is unable to provide for the proper care of such child in his own home the mother or guardian of such child may make application to the Board of Public Welfare of the Dis- trict of Columbia * * * for the ben- efits conferred by this act, which ap- plication shall be refferred to a stand- ing committee of the board. at least one of whom shall be a woman.” Children Under 16. All of Mrs. Carricks’ five children are under 16 vears of age. She is ex pecting another addition to her family, making it even more difficult for her to provide a home and rear the children. Mrs. Carricks, it was said at the wel- fare board's headquarters. will not be required to personally appear to make application, and that a written appli- cation will be given immediate consid- eration. The board. it was pointed out, can award an allowance from month to month or.for a continuous period, the | amount to be determined by the size ®f Mrs. Carricks’ famgly budget, minus any financial relief She receives from other sources. Mrs. Carricks told today of one wom- an who came to the house and left $50, but would not give her name.

FRENCH PILOTS DUE INALABAMA TODAY Two Airmen Receive Great| Ovation From Admirers in New Orleans. By the Associated Press NEW ORLEANS, February 6.—Pleas- | ant memories of a cordial welcome from a city over which once flew the flag of their country lingered with Dieudonne Costes and Joseph Lebrix, daring French aviators. today as they faced the east on the first leg of their tour of the United States in their plane, the Nun- gesser-Coli. They planned a hop toda gomery, Ala. Tuesday the; uled to fly to Washington. Sharing honors with Mayor Williara H. Thompson and his party of Chi- cagoans on their arrival Saturday, the globe-trotting French aviators came inta their own yesterday. for numbered among their admirers were scores of lineal descendants of the early French settlers who carved a thriving colony from the heart of a wilderness. Ovation after ovation greeted the aviators as they toured this city. Many greetings in their native language were shouted to them as their car rolled through the Vieux Carre, the old French quarter of the city. The aviators arrived here late Satur- day from Mexico City after a non-stop flight. to Mont- were sched- BALCONY DEATH SUIT TO BE TRIED AGAIN Court of Appeals Rules Against Owners of Property Where Miss Berghman Was Killed. Civil responsibility of Joseph F. Du- fresne and his wife, Katherine Dufresne, for the death of Miss Hilfred Bergh- man, who feli from a balcony on the third floor their home, 1309 Seven- teenth streetj must be left to a jury, ac- cording to a decision in the District Court of Appeals, rendered today by Justice Charles H. Robb. The court re- versed the action of the District Su- preme Court, where, on a plea of con- tributory negligence, a verdict was di- rected for the defendants. A mew trial is ordered. Charles O. Berghman, as adminis- trator of his daughter, brought suit, charging that the owners had permitted the railing of the balcony to become rotten and unsafe and when his daugh- ter leaned against it she was thrown to the ground and killed. The owners charged that Miss Berghman was neg- Jurisdiction Upheld. “The law giving the Police c«mnl mer to examine, commit or admit to all persons charged with felonies 45 not inconsistent with the law giving t0 the Juvenile Court the power to ex- amine, commit or admit to bail juveniles under 17 years of age charged with offenses of that character, For the pur- poses mentioned. both courts have juris- diction over such juveniles and as the visions of the law conferring power on the Police Court to examine, commit or admit to bail minors charged with Zelonies are not in conflict with the like gwovisions of the Juvenile Court act, it | Toliows that the provisions giving juris- | @iction 1o the Police Court are not re- | pealed by section 25 of the Juvenile | Court act.” Judge Smith concludes that Congress ponsidered that the purpose or useful- pess of the Juvenile Court would in no manner be affected by permitting the Polies "Court o examine, commit or Bdmit to bail juvenile offenders charged ith felonies. { Fisher Is Indicted in Connection| H With Blazes Here on Bride Appeal Denied. ation Counsel Bride appeared a “gmicus curiae” and attempted 1o the court uphold the exclusive risdiction of Judge Sellers.

The evidence showed that the porch had a forlorn appearance, as though it had not been painted for many years, and the broken parts showed decay. Justice Robb declares that the law im- poses upon the owners the duty of maintaining the balcony and railing in a reasonably safe condition, and the deceased had the right to assume that it was reasonably safe, and the question whether she was in the exercise of rea- sonable care in leaning over the raiing without first making an examination of it is for the determination of a jury. $81,255 IN DAMAGE| January 17.

BY COL. CHARLES A. LINDBERGH. By Special Cable SANTO DOMINGO, February 6.-—- Yesterday was a day filled with courtesies such as have been shown me in all the hospitable Latin American countries I have visited, and with his- torfcal interest in the incident of the founding of this city, which is the oldest in the New World. Yesterday morning, together —with United States Minister Young and Sec- retary of Legation Frost, I went to-call on Archbishop Nouel, who received us in the salon of the Episcopal Palace Led by him, we were escorted through the cathedral to the tomb of Columbus, whose remains are in a leaden box de- posited in a bronze casket. The cathedral is very ancient. It was authorized in 1511 by Pope Jullus IL The work was started in October, 1514, and completed in 1540. The cdifice was made a cathedral in 1546, which I was told made it the oldest cathedral n this hemisphere Sees Columbus’ Casket. The Columbus family had a chapel here, for Santo Domingo was founded in 1496 by Bartholojuew Columbus, brother of Christopher, at the discov= erer’s direction. The body of Christopher Columbus was brought here for burial after his death in Spain. Although later the body was ordered removed, I was told that in 1877 1t was found that Colum- bus' body was actuaily still in thef cathedral. 1 received an opportunity to inspect | the leaden casket In which the bones | lay. I visited the castle of Dicgo Co- lumbus, the son of Christopher, who built it in 1510. The stone walls, 3 feet thick, are still standing. I went next to the castle of San Jeronimo, passing on the way the ruins | of the Church of St. Nicholas, which | was built in 1503. San Jeronimo is one of a series of forts built facing the Caribbean to guard against foreign invasions. It was built in 1628. It is still intact, with moats and battlements, and I was told that it figured prommently in repelling attacks in the early days of Santo Domingo. I was sorry that lack of time prevents | ed sceing more of Santo Domingo’s his- | toric places. which brought close to me the history in which all Americans have an interest Indorses Memorial. I learned yesterday about the Faro Del Colon Monument. ~ lighthouse. which it has been proposed shall be erected here by all the American people as a memorial to Columbus. United States residents, Receiver General Wil- liam E. Pulliam of Santo Domingo and Mrs. Pulliam, proposed it. ang it has | been indorsed by the Pan-American Conterence. I was told that it would be a light for planes as well as ships. It will be | on a site a mile square for use as an airfield, which naturally seems to me a fine memorial to Columbus, who showed the world new routes of travel. Afrplane travel, which, I believe, will ald to a large extent in the development of these islands, certainly will be helped by such a memorial Minister Young was host for me at a luncheon at the Santo Domingo Coun- try Club, which was attended by Presi- dent Vesquez and his cabinet and about 30 other gentlemen-~Dominicans, foreign diplomats and United . States residents. Afterward, I went to a review of the Dominican national police, who are fine looking, well-trained solders. Attends Garden Party.

Why should the South, which has | loyally supported every Democratic presidential nominee for so many ye and cast its electoral votes solidly for them, be compelled to take & man whom the South does not wish, and who certainly could not be elected with- out the electoral votes of the South? No Southerner has been nominated | for President since James K. Polk, 84 years back. Yet it would be as fdle to talk about electing a Democratic Presi- dent without the saport of the South a out electing Republican Presi- dent without the support of the North. Tt begins to look as though the mnext Southern President might have to be the selection of the Republican nation- al party, provided it can build itself up a party in one of the Southern States, which can make that State debatable, Southern States go into a Democratic national convention with less than one- third of the delegates, although they cast the great preponderance of elec- toral votes for the Democratic nomi- | nees on election day.

The bid for the nomination by Senator George and his friends, therefore, is a demand for greater recognition of the Democratic South by the less Demo- cratic North and West.

Today is the last day for presidential candidates to file In Georgia, and there seems no likelihood that any one will oppose the Senator. But there are some Democrats who feel that it might be ! wiser to have the State delegates picked by a State convention. Gov. Hardman has just come out for such a plan. The idea h grown that otherwise there might be a hand-picked delegation which would obey the will of the na- tional committeeman rather blindly.
