James Hand
Dies From
Exhaust Gas
Caretaker Finds Youth
Dead in Garage at
Vacant Property
James L Hand, jr.. freshman
student in the college of business
administration, was found dead
Monday morning in a car parked
in the garage of a vacant house at
2330 Van Dorn st. Dr. P. S. Can
non, examining physician, stated
that death was caused by carbon
monoxide poisoning, placing the
time of death between 2 and 3
o'clock Monday morning.
County Sheriff James Davis,
acting as coroner, told the Daily
Nebraska n that he found no evi
dence of foul play. The garage
doors were closed and the windows
of the car tightly rolled up when
the body was discovered. Sheriff
Davis further said that altho the
case is closed, he is continuing
the investigation to follow up sev
eral lends.
Hand was the 18 year old son
of Mr. and Mrs. James Hand, sr.,
1531 Van Dorn st., and had pledged
Phi Delta Theta fraternity this
year.
The body was found about 9
o'clock by Guy B. Porter, care
taker for Culbertson, Roe & Bell,
who own the vacant house. Porter
called Mr. Roe, who in turn called
police. It was believed that Hand
had forced the locked garage door
open by breaking the lock, when
police arrived, they found the ig
nition on, altho the motor was
silent. The auto battery was still
well charged and Hand's wrist
watch was still running.
Hand had lived in Lincoln only
a few months, coming from Sid
ney, Nebraska, where he was
graduated from high school in
1938. The body is at Wadlow's
Mortuary.

Rally Set
For Friday
Combination Armistice
Football Affair Planned
With Nebraska hopes for a Pitt
victory kindled by the Panthers'
loss Saturday, students will gather
Friday evening nt 7 o'clock on the
Student Union steps for a combi
nation Armistice day rally celc
brntion. Thru co-operation of the mili
tary department, the rally commit
tee has obtained the Pershing
Rifle unit to participate in the
rally. The Pershing Rifles will
march in the rally parade and will
play the leading roll in the Armis
tice part of the program, firing
the traditional salute.
Same Route.
As usual, the university band,
Corn Cobs, Tassels, and the cheer
leaders will make up the nucleus
of the parade, which will follow
the same route as all other home
game rallies.
Students who have slogans
which they think are good enough
to command printing on the cards
for the Pitt game are requested
by Ralph Reed, member of the
rally committee to hand them in
at the Dally Nebraskan office be
fore Thursday noon.
Fireworks will be a feature of
the ntt pre-game rally, with plans
being made to include a 12 foot
American flag in the display.
"Algie," the old model T used
In rallies to carry the cheer lead
ers, will be on hand again. The old
car has been donated for the ral
lies by Max Lake, and has been
put to valuable use.
"As Friday is Armistice day,
there will be many sponataneous
rallies springing up during school
hours," Reed stated. He went on
to say that "No Corn Cobs or
Tassels should take part in any of
these unorthodox rallies, and
should discourage them. Students
should save their lungs for the
Friday night affair, when there
will be nlontv to veil for."
I i
opinion. I am opposed to both
amendments, especially the slot
machine bill." Altho few students
will be eligible to vote in the elec
tion the results of it will be of
special interest to many.
The slot machine amendment
would legalize slot muchlnea in
Nebraska and the money derived
from them in taxes and other rev
enue would be expended for old
age assistance in the state. The
short ballot amendment would
give the governor power to appoint
the secretary of state, the attorney
general and the state treasurer.
These offices at the present time
are elective. The idea of the
amendment Is to shorten the bal
lot so that the voter will not have
to struggle thru long lists of can
didates at election time,
