ASSIGN MITCHELL COMMUNISTS LOSING IN GERMANY BERLIN, Mar. 30—Germany's first march to the polls to select by popular ballot its president; today found no candidate receiving an actual majority. Another election April 26 will be necessary. Official figures at 11 a.m.: Jarres, Nationalist, 10,380,000; Braun, Socialist, 7,780,000; Marx, Centrist, 3,880,000; Thaeiman Communist, 1,860,000. Helpach, Democrat, 1,560,000; Hold, Bavarian, People's party, 1,000,000; Ludendorff, Fasciisti, 280,000. The Socialists have been making severe inroads into Communist ranks, the result shows. In the Reichstag December elections the Communists polled 2,700,000 votes. Despite active campaigning, Thielmann, Communist candidate, mustered but 1,860,000. In several supposed strongholds the communist vote dropped by more than fifty per cent. General Ludendorff, candidate of the extreme right secessionists, made a pitiful showing, running last. The election proved beyond a doubt that the Socialists remain the strongest individual party in Germany. The result constitutes a victory for the three Republican parties — Socialists, Democrats and Centrists—alto Dr. Karl Jarres had a lead of 200,000 over his nearest opponent. The so-called Weimar coalition polled a total of 13,220,000 which compared to the Jarres vote of 10,380,000 indicates more than sufficient strength to gain a victory in April if the Republicans can unite upon one candidate.

HEARING Court Refuses Motion of Defense Based on Affidavit San Francisco, March 30—Possibility of Dorothy Ellington, 16 year old matrietde, escaping amurder trial on the claim she is insane, was temporally blocked. Judge Harold Louderbeck, preiding jurist, refused to grant the defence motion that Dorothy be given an insanity hearing on the basis of an affidavit by Dr. Jau Don Ball, University of California criminologist., which declared the girl mentally deranged. The court held that it must be proven Dorothy's insanity is of such status as to prevent her from understanding the nature of the murder charge against her, before the trial could be halted. Judge Louderback recused court until 2 p.m., at which time Dr.Ball will be questioned in hopes of strengthening the defence claim. Attorney Alexander Mocalain, defense council, presented Dr. Ball's affidavit and moved that it be accepted as basis for substituting an insanity hearing for the murder trial. Deputy District Attorney Harrison D. Skillin did not oppose the motion and asked that the 12 jurors selected for the murder hearing be used in the insanity proceedings, should the court agree. Judge Louderback's action in refusing to accept Dr. Ball's affidavit was a surprise, as it had been expected he would agree with attorneys and alienists that the girl's condition warrants an insanity trial. The defence expresssed faith that when Dr. Ball is questioned this afternoon he will convince the court of the girl's derangement and the motion will be granted. Dr. Ball's affidavit stated that he "knew Dorothy Ellington and had on numerous occasions in the last 30 days examined said defendant. As a result of such examinations I believe said defendant to be insane at this time and incapable of defending herself on the charge of crime pending against her." The jazz girl betrayed only a nervous twitching of her hands the emotion she controlled. She walked from the court room to the nearby jail without collapsing. FULLERTON H. S.
