M. or tonight| PRICE FIVE CENTS “~ ON MODIFYING OF DAWES PLAN French Proposal in This Re- spect Is Ratified at a ' Long Session YOUN ENTHUSIASTIC American Members. of Dawes Committee of Experts Sees Early Settlement London, Aug. 1 (By the A. P.)—The experts of the inter-allied repara- tions conference indicated early this afternoon that they expected to settle all the outstanding problems of the conference up to them for solution, before the afternoon was over. The experts, who did not leave Downing street until 2:15 o'clock this morning, returned to their task at 11 o'clock and during a two hour session adopted the French proposal for the modification of the Dawes plan. They then adjourned to re- astemble later in the afternoon. The problem of transfers allotted to the transfer commission under the Dawes plan is still causing trouble. If the experts are unable to over- come the difficulty on this point this afternoon the issue will be re- ferred to the chief delegates. Owen D. Young, of the Dawes com- mittee, who has maintained an at- titude of restrained hopefulness ever since Premier Herriot's plan was produced, was enthusiastic when he left the foreign offive. “We'll finish up this afternoon,” he said. If the experts conclude their work this afternoon their reports will be submitted to a plenary session of the conference tomorrow. The Americans believe the invi- tation to Germany will be dispatched tonight. ® FRENCH OPTIMISTIC Paris, Aug. 1 (By the A. P.)—An inter-allied agreement -at the London conference will be reached not later than tomorrow, according to French foreign office spokesmen just re- turned from England. They consider the only danger point the German attitude when they. are ~ ‘finatty brought into the conference. It would be to Germany’s interest, they maintain, to show herself as conciliatory. Therefore, they are hoping for the best, 0 COOLIDGE MEN PLAN BATTLE IN WISCONSIN Wilt Give LaFollette Hard Run in His Own State, G. O. P. Scout Men Say. Chicago, Aug. 1.—Significant de- velopments are expected by Republi- can leaders to result from the situa- tion arising from the recent simul- taneous resignation of both members of the Republican national commit- tee from Wisconsin, .- - In the view of party officials here the resignations last week of Com- mitteem: Tra S. Lorenz, of Mil- waukee, and woman member, Mrs. Julia Anderson Schnetz, of Racine, opens the way for a gradual reor- ganization of the Republican ranks in Wisconsin on a basis of “loyalty to Republican principles. Both retiring members are known to-have been closely allied pdlitically with the Republican faction in Wis- consin, which is controlled by Sena- tor LaFollette, and their withdrawal from the governing body of the party is in. some quarters regarded as a token of the eventual complete with- drawal of Senator LaFollette from the Republican ranks in Wisconsin. Proceeding generally on this a: sumption, the Republican managers of the middlewest have given not a little thought recently to steps cal- culated to re-build the Bepsblican organization in the Badger state along orthodox lines, or in such fash- fon as will guarantee: “support of the Republican ticket and platform by ‘the Republiean organization.” In the view of many, of the “regu- lars” as they have been revealed to the party chiefs here, the LaFollette strength in Wisconsin has been quite as much Republican as LaFollette and from this assumption they pre- dict that with the senator definitely separated from the Republican ticket, the party may quickly be stab- lished along lines in complete har- mony with the national program. HELD BY FOG Kirkwall, ‘Scotland, Aug. %; (By the A. P.)—The American army round the world fliers . were. unable to. hop off today for Hornafjord, ‘Teeland, because patgollers: reported a heavy fog off Ireland. f pie Chicago has 10 active broadcasting stations, nM] Harry Johnson of Cleveland, engineer on the Wheeling & Lake Erie, was faithful to ‘his trust to the end. Rounding a shanp curve near Canton, O., he saw a trestle just ahead was on fire. It was too late to stop his train. He ordered his fireman to jump, but he remained at the throttle, for the lives of 90 passengers were iri hig ‘hands. The engine and three cars, mail, baggage and «a day coach, plunged off the bridge into a creek below, then caught fire. Twenty passengers were injured, ibut only one seriously. Johéson's heroism had saved their lives though it cost him-his own.

It is now in tassel in many fields, and hag been grow- ing so rapidly that many farmers ex- perienced in corn raising believe that it all will be matufed before frost, and that it will be a fair to good crop. The crop is two to three weeks later than last year. Rye cutting now is fairly general, and an average yield of around 20 bushels to the acre is prédicted in many quarters.

P.)— The House of Commohs on reassem- bling today took up the Irish ques- tion. Colonial Secretary Thomas said the government promised mediately to introduce legislation giving effect to the Anglo-Irish Treaty and té press for passage of. that measure through parliament re- wardless of consequences to the gov- ernment, : He announced that he had invited William T. Cosgrove, head of the southern Irish government and Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, to come to London to confer with him. The proposed legislation would not be introduced until he had met Mr. Cosgrove and Sir James, but ‘a bill dealing with the treaty would be introduced if. they failed to agree before the adjournment of parlia- ment. He hoped there would be no pas- sion or feeling. in the discussion. He said he had striven continuously for a peaceful settlement ever since he had been in office. He was sure, however, that the suggested legisla- tion would be hotly. contested and that the long. controversy, would not be settled smoothly. COMMITTEE'S ACTION HERE IS SURPRISE Members of League Execu- “tive Cummittee See Noth- ing Unusual In It ENDS ITs SESSION The action of the Nonpartisan League State Executive Committee in not ratifying the action of the state-wide conference here in in- dorsing the presidential candidacy of Senator Robert M. LaFollette was not followed today by any formal explanation on the part of the exe- cutive committee. The committee, which’ is composed of Ole Knutson of Grand Forks, Roy Frazier of Crosby, and S. S. McRon- old’of Bismarck, had completed its session following the state-wide con- ference of Wednesday, and laid plans for the coming campaign. None of the members of the committee pro- fessed to see anything unusual in the action of the committee regard- ing the failure to add the commit- tee’s indorsement to the conference indorsement of LaFollette. The conference adopted a motion demonding that ‘all Nonpartisan League indorsed candidates support Senator LaFollette, but did not call them before the conference to state their attitude. The Second district conference did, however, ‘call aspir- ants for the indorsement for Con- Bress before it to “demand assurance that they would support the pro- Gressive bloe in Congress. A. G. Sorlie, the League candidate for Governor, made no reference to his attitude toward Senator LaFol- lette. There are some Nonpartisans who regard him as a LaFollette man while others regard him as more or less favorable tb the entire Repub- lican ticket. , SORLIE ATTITUDE Grand Forks, Aug. 1—A. G. Sorlie, naminated for governor in the Re- publican primary last June returned lgst night from Bismarck, where he attended the conference of Nonparti- san ‘League members which resulted in the, indorsement of the presiden- tial candidacy of Robert M. LaFol- lette. ’ Asked last night as to what his po- sition was in regard to the LaFol- lette indorsement, Mr. Sorlie declar- ed that the only statement he cared to make at this time whs that as a candidate for state officer, he was interested in the state campaign but was not ready to take part in the national battle. He pointed out that at the meet- ing of the Nonpartisan League ex- ecutive committee held today fol- lowing his departure ftom Bismarck, no action had been taken to ratify the LaFollette indorsement made at ithe ‘conference. The conference, he merely advisory so far as executive committee , was con- erned.

DOLMAN, ESCAPED PRISONER, IS RETURNED, TELLS OF HIS FLIGHT Hid in Abandoned Houses in Bismarck and Mandan and Then Caught Freight Train For The West, Says Prisoner, Who Got Away on July 3 A. G. Dolman, sentenced to prison from Fargo to serve eight years for forgery and who br¢ke his trust by leaving the prison farm last July 3, was back behind the walls of the state prison today, surveying his brief period of liberty rather ruefully. He will lose “good time” earned and will hot be permitted to work outside again. Warden J. J. Lee said ne woudl transfer Dolman from the prison farm to the twine plant. A trick of fate resulted in Dolman’s capture at Glendive, Montana, He had obtained a job and was sent to work on a ranch 25 miles away from the city, alone, where he ap- peared safe from capture. He was injured, though not seri- ously, in a runaway, and was taken into Glendive for medical treatment.

White, alienist, on the witness stand. They are: First, the joy of plann- ing it; second, the thrill; third, the anticipation of getting $10,- 000; fourth, the publicity; fifth, Loeb’s own discussion of the crime with others, and last and least, the money itself. Loeb told Dr. White, the latter said, he be- lieved he had gotten all. there was in life. Chicago, Aug. 1 (By the A. P.)— The kidnaping and mytder: of: Robert Franks was planned as “an intellec- tual feat” on the part of Richard Loeb, according to testimony given today in the hearing which is to de- cide punishment for him and Nathan, Leopold Jr., for that crime. This revelation of Loeb's motive came right at the end of the morning ses- sion today, from Dr. William A. White, first witness for the defense, whose testimony was started after Judge Caverly had overruled objec- tions by the state directed against all evidence as to the mentality of the defendants. This ruling disposed of a question which had been argued for two days, and which attorneys agreed constitut- ed a precedent in Hlinois for re- ceiving evidence in mitigation of pun- ishment. Dr. White's testimony transformed the companion of Leopold from “Richard Loeb, defendant. in this case,” to “Dickie,” a child beset with fantastic dreams of becoming either the world's greatest detective or «. “master mind,” dominating organiz- ed enemies of ‘society. The witness called him “Dickie” and Judge Caverly in ruling upon the admissability of evidence about the “foolish governess,” who drove the boy to deceit, used the term twice himself. Chicago, Aug. 1, (By the A, P.)— Judge John R. Caverly today ‘over- led objections by the state to alienists’ testimony offered in miti- gation as to punishment by the at- torneys for Nathan Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb The ruling, which came after more than two court days of argument, was a decided victory for the de- fense but in mitigation of punish- ment.” The decision was momentous in legal annals of this state as no exactly similar situation could be found by attorneys for either side in Illinois records. The field open- ed by today’s fifding was more ex- tensive than in cases which border- ed it. “It is the court's duty to hear this evidence,” said Judge Caverly. “It is not his duty to reject it before he has had an opportunity to hear Lgl “The objection by the state is overruled. Immediately Dr. William White, alienist from Washington, D. C., took the stand and stated his pro- fessional connections, the stage where his testimony was interrupt- ed Wednesday morn: NEW PROBE. IS ORDERED Attorney - General Stone Probes: Gasoline Prices Washington, Aug. 1.—Attorney General Stone has ordered a further inquiry into the gasoline price sit- uation. The report of the federal trade commission on the subject, made at the request of the presi- dent, contains information, Mr. Stone said today, which warrants a further investigation of the several phases of the problem. trade commission's report which hi never been made public, as “very in- teresting,” but indicated that it was incomplete in some ways, and the de-. partment. of justice will now delve into the leads thus afforded. Mr. Stone was: said to believe that such an inquiry might supply the govern- ment not orfly with a better knowl- edge of what is going on in the whole oil industry, but with evidence which it might use in its injunction suits recently, filed in Chicago te break up selling agreements based upon use of the so-called cracking process in the industry.
