ESTABLISHED 1873 LBOPOLD, LOEB COURT SESSION Find Much to ‘Amuse Them in Confession and Other Readings, During Trial CROWDS ARE LARGE Lack of Prospects of Dra- matics Does Not Keep Hundreds from Courtroom Chicago, July 29.—Nathan Leo- pold Jr. and Richard Loeb, pleaders of guilty to the charge of kidnap- ing and murder of 14-year-old Rob- ert Franks, heard read in cpen court today first their denial and then their confession to the crime. Benjamin Bacharach, one of the attorneys for the boys, helped get into the record -his final stage of the state’s presentation of evidence, by relieving Robert Crowe, states attorney, of the task of reading the prosecution's transcription of the boys’ admission. Mr. Crowe’s voice was worn, but after 30 min- utes of reading Mr. Bacharach said he was “getting a little hoarse.” The states attorney, however, de- clined to take up the vocal burden at that time. The boys listened with change of expression until Mr. Bacharach reached a passage in which Leopold quoted a profane exclamation made to his brother when he learned that his spectacles had been found near the culvert in which he and Loeb had hidden the body of the Franks boy. When this came out in Mr. Bacharach’s lene voice, both defendants grin- ned. They smiled again when the ac- count reached a colloquy between Leopold and Mr. Crowe in which the latter quizzed the student on the distinction between grammar and rhetoric. Favorite Beverage Other points that amused defend- ants included Leopold’s “hope” that he was an expert automobile driver and his doubt as to whether gin was his favorite beverage. Clarence Darrow, chief counsel for the defense, sat with the boys and talked with them from time to time. ’ Prospects of! lack of dramatics in today’s proceedings did not dis- courage spectators. They came early and so many in excess of the usual quota filtered into the room that Judge Caverly halted the case while the superfluous persons were weeded out of the audience. EGGS THROWN AT WALTON Former Oklahoma Governor, However, Escapes Being Hit little Muskogee, Oklahoma, July -29.— J, W, Walton, deposed Governor and candidate for the Democratic nomin- ation for United States Senator, was made the target for several eggs hurled by a small boy, while address- ing a crowd in the interest of his candidacy here last night. None of the eggs struck Walton, although one hit the speaker's stand and spattered over several persons standing nearby. Walton severely scored the Ku Klux Klan agd charged that organ- ization with being responsible for the boy’s prank. He interceded in behalf of the boy when several mem- bers of the crowd seized him. ‘SEN. LODGE __ RESTS WELL Condition Held Satisfying by Physicians Cambridge, Mass., July 29.—Sen- ator Henry Cabot Lodge was pro- gressing well today. “Everything is perfectly satisfac- tory in every way,” Dr. John H. Cunningham said after a brief visit’ to his patient this morning. He glso, said that Senator Lodge had had a good night’d rest and that he would be able to eat what he chose today and could smoke.

FLIER SMILE DURING | 4SHEREACHES ENGLAND ON HISTORY MAKING AERIAL TOUR Lieutenant Lowell Smith Turns Down Whisky and Soda Right in London, But He Reaches First of All For a Cigarette — Landing of U.S. Fliers Is Described! By Milton Bronner NEA Service Correspondent. London, July 29—An American army airplane with the figure “2” painted on it comes roaring from the south, circles two or three times around the | great Croydn Aerodrome, and then settles gently on the ground. A few minutes later two other American airplanes land on this British field. They have made history. Four hundred and three years ago a Portu-! guese named Magellan, in command of a fleet of Spanish ships, made similar history. The little vessels of | wood and equipped with a few sails, were the first to circumnavigate the} globe. And this tiny fleet of three airplanes, led by Lieutenant Lowell H. Smith, has repeated part of that performance. With pieces of stick and yards of linen, some steel and some alumi- num, propelled by powerful engines, these daring latter-day Magellans had gone three-quarters around the globe when they landed in London. And what do you think was the first thing Lieutenant Smith did when his machine stopped? He ducked his head out of the cockpit, jammed a cigaret into his young face and enjoyed a smoke. Perhaps some day an imagina- tive historian will attribute to Smith some very fancy words as he stepped out of his machine onto British soil. Let an imaginative chronicler tell what he really said: “I'd like a drink.” “What, whiskey and soda?” asked one of the attaches of the aerodrome as a matter of course. “No, pard, I said I wanted a drink. A long drink. A cold drink. Water with ice in it” And that was that. And it was said with such fervor that Frederick Sterling, first secretary of the Amer- ican embassy who was deputizing for Ambassador Kellogg, forgot his speech of welcome—if indeed he had one. All he did was to shake Smith's hand and say—“Howdy!” Came a solemn moment when the united army of British reporters c ralled Lieutenant Smith, took him off to the British Customs Bureau, away from the autograph-hunting crowd, and began firing questions at him concerning his trip. “The worst part of it all was in Northern Alaska,” said Smith. “There we encountered the woolics winds that blow 70 miles an hour atid then suddenly stop and then just as suddenly begin again—icy cold, whip- ping sleet and snow into your. face.” “Pardon,” says a polite Briton, “you say these winds are called the willies?” ‘0. Woolies. But they give you the willies.” “What's that?” asked the Briton blankly, Enters the woman reporter. She beams brightly at Lieutenant Smith and pops the great question— “What is the first thing you are go- ing to do when you land in New York?” Smith looks at her quizzically for @ moment and then drawls— “Prepare to hop off for San Diego.” There was a pathetic side to the London welcome to our fliers, Mrs. MacLaren, wife of Squadron Leader MacLaren of the British Air Forces, who also started on a world flight, congratulated Smith and his com- panion® upon their success. She thanked them for some favors they had helped secure for her husband. Then the anxious wife was reveal- ed. She knew the terrific fight with the elements that our men had when they crossed the north Pacific. She knew her own husband was in those same regions at that yery moment. And she sought comfort by asking our men whether they thought Mac- Laren was in much danger. Smith proved himself a gallant diplomat. He told the pretty young wife the truth about the dangers at this time of year and yet in such a way as not to add to her fears, And that very evening the papers reported MacLaren was overdue and that Japanese war vessels were seek- ing traces of him in the desvlate waters around the Kurile Islands. Will Stop Leak Of Lake By Use Of Concrete Salt Lake City, July 29.—Plugging up holes iff the bottom of Duck Lake in the Dixie National Forest in southern Utah so that it will not become entirely ‘dry each summér and fall, is planned by officials of the United States Forest Service. Duck Lake, located in the mount- ains, contains much water in the spring but it soon filters out. There are several large holes and the for- jest service plans to fill them up with concrete, It+is estimated. it will be definitely known whether the plugging process is successful, for the holes cannot be filled until LIEUTENANT LOWELL SMITH AND MRS. BOOTLEGGING OF ALIENS INCREASING 500,000 Foreigners Smuggled Into U. S. During Last Year By Larry Boardman NEA Service Writer Washington, July of aliens is increasing since the new and stricter immigration law went into effect. The new border patrol cannot be- gin to stop it, either. Last year 1,200,000 foreigners were permitted to_enier the United States. Five hundred thousand more were smuggled in.. That means 1,700,000 gained access to this country. ‘ Under the new regulations only 161,000 will be admitted this year. 450 Guard 5000 Miles “You can make your own guess at how many of these will attempt to come in anyway,” says W. W. Sib- ray, assistant commissioner general of immigration. “There probably will be less ob- vious smuggling, but a lot more of hidden smuggling. “It used to lf carried on right in the open at hundreds pf points be- fore we had the border patrol fo: Such flagrant violations, of ‘course, gwill be checked considerably now. of border, cannot begin to cope with it all.” Immigrants are sneaking into the United States all along the Mexican and Canadian border and the Flor- ida coast, Sibray declares. Carry Chinese Across “On the upper Rié Grande, where the river is shallow,” ‘he explains, “scores of Mexicans have been in the business of wading across with Chinamen and others on their backs. “The Mexicans usually charge 50 cents a person for this service. When about 10 fect from the Amer- ican shore, they dump their human cargo into {he water and seurry back for another load. “With miles of unguarded border along the Canadian side, all the aliens had to do was step across in the past. They were flocking in by automobiles and farmers’ wagons. We even have found several com- ing in under loads of hay. “Most of the smuggling is carried on along the Florida coast. come first to Cuba, then board tramp steamers which runs them ashore in ‘hidden bays and coves. “At the large seaports our great- est trouble is with deserting seamen. Thousands of contraband aliens ship on various vessels, then desert upon arrival, The average is about 40 a boat.” Many Loopholes The new law, Sibray thinks, is full of loopholes. “The biggest is that all students can come into the country without bond,” he says. “Now, a student is anyone who is going to attend school—and, after a country’s quota is filled, just about everybody from that country be- comes a student. “AM we can do with travelers is to use our own discretion. An alien applies*for admittance, says he is a traveler and that he is returning to his‘own country in a few months. If he looks like a bona fide traveler, we let him in. “Tourists” Stay ““And once in, he usually stays in. “One English woman, denied ad- misgion,,, went up to Canada and came back on a sight-seeing tour to Niagaria Falls. She didn’t even carry a handbag. We couldn’t very well refuse her a look at the Falls, but once in she made for the interior.” Sibray sees two solutions to the this fall and then there will be a |problem—increasing the border pa- wait for the lake to fill up again. {trol and enlarging the interior force. ~“Bootlegging”| They | i MacLAREN PARDON BOARD...

BANDITS TAKE DAKOTA TOWN, INVADE STORES Much Loot Is Obtained in Carpio, Northern North Dakota,’ During Night Minaty.2,.. Der. duly. 20e>-Carpiersa. small village of 300, 30 miles from Minot, last night was held in the grip of a gang of bandits, number- ing 5 or 6, while the buildings, in- cluding the postoffice, yielded loot of approximately $1,700. Several citizens of Carpio were un- aware of the fact that. the bandits had virtually taken. possession of the village, A deputy sheriff from Minot in- vestigated the affair but failed to find any clues to the identity of the bandits. Loot of $650 was obtained from the postoffice, the vault of which was blown open by explosives; $1,000 worth of merchandise and $135 in cash and currency from | the Ellenson garage. “But 450 men, guarding 5000 miles} : ‘BODY FOUND ~ONN.P, TRACK Believed to be That of Resi- dent of Warroad, Min- , nesota Fargo, July 29.—The body of a man believed to be Joseph Sourdiff of Warroad, Minn., was found on the Northern Pacific railroad track about three miles west of Fargo shortly before midnight last night. Traite officials believe that he had been struck by passenger train No. 8, which arrives in Fargo at 10:20 p. m. The body was discovered by the crew of a freight train. The head was badly crushed, several ribs brok- en and one leg completely severed. The muscles of the other leg were badly cut, and Sourdiff’s entire body was severely bruised. F The victim was*& man of about 35 years of age, weighing about 260 pounds, had black hair, cut short, and a ruddy complexion. The only means of identifying Sourdiff was through a small note book which he carried, The book contained a registration card dated 1918, which had been signed by Mar- tin Widstan of Warroad, Minn. Other names and addresses in the book were: Peter Erickson, 212 Platte st, Eau Claire, Wis.; Helen Larson Hudson, Wis.; and Grover Schneck- loth, Grand Meadow, Minn.

TRIBUNE BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, TUESDAY, JULY 29, MANDAN BOY COASTS UNDER AUTO ALLIES MAKE — |NONPARTISANS ARRIVE IN CITY FOR PARLEY TO DECIDE POLITICAL COURSE NO PROGRESS ON GUARANTEES Conference Moves Wearily Along in London, Accom- plishing Very Little WILL CALL GERMANS Representatives Will Be Ask- ed To Sit in on the Discussions London, July 29, (By the A, P.)— The inter-allied conference went wearily along today with little pro- gress observable toward the goal of its ends and today was one of the murky sort, There were no formal committee meetin anged for today. In the formal discussion among delegates, financiers and experts, the French took the lead in an effort to coordin- ate the various formulas proposed to reconcile the financiers’ ideas of security for investors in. the, pro- posed German loan with the reluc- tance of France to waive her right to separate action should Germany default. With the proposal of Premier Theunis of Belgum and Colonel James A. Logan, the American offi- cial observer, before them as known factors, the conferees are eager to receive the promised new formula of the French and to coordinate that into something tangible for con- sideration when the full committee on defaults and penalties meets again tomorrow, Although it is admittted on all sides that the troublesome question of the military evacuation of the Ruhr is outside the purview of the present conference, which has limit- ed its agenda to the strictly econom- i: question of launching the Dawes report, nevertheless, the problem of withdrawing the military forces from the Ruhr has become the Banquo'’s ghost whith . refused ‘to quit this diplomatic feast. Now that it is definitely known that the Germans will shortly be called into the conference discus- sion it is felt that the question of pititapy.ovacuation .cannat be post poned altogether ur the next’ con- ference. SBBS SUCCES IN EXPERIMENT Minot Engineer Tells of Ac- tion of Illinois Coal Minot, N. D., July 29—What is termed by engineer S. M. Darling, the most successful experiment thus far made at the plant of the Dakota Lignite Products Company, was com- pleted at an early hour this morn- ing when the last of a carload of bituminous coal from Herrin, Illinois, was successfully passed through the carbonizing oven. Part of the pro- duct delivered from the oven was ready. to be sold as low temperature coke, while the remainder is to be briquetted. “In ten years you will recognize the experiment we completed this morning as an epoch-making event in the fucl history of the world,” declared Mr. Darling, who enthused over the fact that the Illinois’ coal, consisting of screenings for which there is practically no market, went through the lignite ovens without the slightest trouble. Fear that the Illinois coal would fuse into one solid mass in the oven under heat of 2,000 degrees, proved unfounded. The fact that the coal was kept con- stantly moving overcame this ap- prehension. o—___.. oo 2 ‘ Weather Report | ip cena represen For 24 hours ending at noon: Temperature at 7 a. m. 6 Highest yesterday Lowest ‘yesterday Lowest last night Precipitation |.......

More than 100 butter producers and shippers of Minnesota, the Dakotas and Nebraska and receiv- ers throughout New York State and elsewhere in the east have interven- ed in the case, in which the origin- al complaint charged that freight rates on butter and eggs from North and South Dakota points to Chicago discriminated against Jamestown and Grand Forks, North Dakota. A large number of shippers and receivers of the East and West are expected to be called to testify in the hearings here which are in charge of Examiner Gault. The Duluth Chamber of Commerce made a general complaint in: the case, charging that rates on butter, eggs and dressed poultry from Min- nesota, North and South Dakota and ebraska, are too high as compared with rates to Chicago, and asked for a completey readjustment of the tariff.
