MURDERS PLOTTED
EDINBURGH. Texas. Feb. 20
(AP) The days of six-gun gov
ernment along the Texas hordpr
' were remembered tonf?ht while
18 citizens of the little town of
Donna stood accused of planning
to seize control there by a whole
sale killing of democratic office
holders. As in the days of long aso, it
was the Texas rangers who rode
into the center of trouble to quiet
things. Ranger Captains Frank
Hamer and A. R. Mace had ar
rested eight men, all members of
the "good government party" and
charged them with conspiracy to
commit murder. Eight orders
were sought.
The rangers said three of the
accused have admitted plotting
the hired slaying of six democra
tic office holders. Their death re
putedly was to be fbllowel by
seizure of the city administration
of Donna, exas, and the Donna
water district.
George W. Ruthven, Luther
Lepley and Stokes Cheney were
declared by the officers to have
- admitted the plot.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 80 (AP)
"Personality tests," widely
used among college students and
business employes to Judge their
fitness for different tasks, were
declared of "doubtful value," be
fore the American Ortho-Psychiatric
association today.
Another scientist advanced the
theory that "all children are
born criminals," in the sense
that children are instinctively
lawless and must be taught to be
law.-abiding.
Personalities of individuals
cannot be successfally Judged
with the tests now in vogue, was
the conclusion . of a paper pre-
pared by Dr. Frederick L. Wells
of the Boston psychopathic nospl-
tal but such tests are not a good I
basis for deciding whether a man
will make a better salesman tnan
