Speaking of .this organiza- tion’s connection with diversified farming, Mr. Jaffray said it would continue to make livestock loans. The corporation, he said, is still getting applications from farmers for loans to enable them to place livestock on their farms or increase their herds. More livestock busi- ness has been done by the corpor- altion in the lgst month than in the 7 previous three, he said. The 1924 crop, giving farmers a -@ chance to pay debts, will enable them also to purchase more live- stock, he said. ‘The Agricultural Credit Corporation has been very careful in buying of cows, he said, _y knowing that it must secure good ', stock at the right prices if it is to fulfill its mission of aiding the me Northwestern farmer, a mission the|of the Grand Canyon of the Little corporation is engaged in for the} Missouri, who left Minot on Mon- profit.{day, now are in the heart of the q general good and not for F Farmers, he said, are generally well pleased with purchases made by the|there, the object being to form an corporation, In Four Cars Mr. Jaffray’s party, which traveled in four business cars, included: H.

Cav- erty to fix punishment for Nathan Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb, con- fessed kidnapers and slayers of Robert Franks. “Our answer was a blanket ‘no’,” said Robert E. Crowee, states attor- ney, who indicated that the defens: idea was to dispose with lay wit- nesses provided the state would ac- cept a blanket statement of what their testimony would be, and would also dispense @with calling further lay witnesses. After a 30-minute recess, in which the state’s attorney and his three assistants considered the pro- pobal, the hearing was resumed with Max Schra: student of the Uni- versity of Michigan, as the defense’s first lay witness, Identifies Himself Schrayer identified himself as 21 years old and a Chicago jobber of héusehold goods since he was grad- uated from the University of Mich- igan, where he was a fraternity bro- ther of Loeb. His first answers to questioning by Mr. Darrow met re- peated objections by Mr Crowe, who insisted the witness was drawifig conclusions, Schrayer said he had observed Loeb to be very nervous, to which the state objected and was sustain- ed. Mr. Darrow asked the question in other phrases and brought this reply: “I observed he had a twitching of the mouth, was nervous in his ges- tures of the hand, dragged his an- kle and on special occasions drank a gtvat. deal. He fainted | several times at Michigan. He smoked a great deal and showed nervousness in doing it.” Repeated effort: of Mr. Darrow to have the witnesk give his observa- tions as to the responsib of. Loeb brought as many objections from Mr. Crowe. “Loeb was known as a reader of dime novels and detective stories,” the witness continued. Mr. Crowe again objected and was sustained. Attorneys Clash Mr. Darrow asked if Schrayer had noticed anything peculiar about Loeb’s Jaughter. The witness said he seemed to laugh at a great many things not humorous and Mr. Crowe asked the answer be stricken out. “If this witness has listened to the testimony of these alienists I could see why anybody would get a great laugh,” Mr. Crowe declared, to which Mr, Darrow retorted: “Yes, you would laugh at any- thing, except possibly a «hanging, and I think’ maybe you would laugh at the hanging of these boys.” Schrayer testified that he tegard- ed Loeb as abnormal, that Loeb was not permitted the responsibility of being a mentor over freshmen, a duty of seniors at the University, and that Loeb was a good book stu- dent but apparently did not seem to have logical common sense and was rather impractical. After 15 minutes of direct ex- amination Mr. Crowe took the wit- ness on cross examination and: ask- ed if he did not recall having made a statement to the states attorney that he regarded Loeb as perfectly sane and normal. , “Are you normal?” Crowe. “I don’t know,” replied Schrayer.

Davis, Demo- cratic nominee for president, sought a conference with the labor leader ia New York July 17, and i later requested Mr. Gompers to questions which labor ts chiefly interested in.” “The conference wap impossi- ble," said Mr. Gompers, “because af «conflicting pitagement.”” “Tire request was denied, he added, be- ceuse he could not submit ques- tions to Mr. Davis “which would not be equally submitted to other candidates for the presidency.” That Mr. Davis had communicat- ed with Mr. Gompers wag revealed in a letter the federation leader wrote William R. Wilson, former secretary of labor, and a present staff member of the Democratic national committee at Washington. The letter was in reply to the one received by Mr. Wilson by the executive council of the American Federation of Labor urging that it defer indorsing LaFollette until Mr. Davis delivered ‘his notifica- tion speech. Mr. Gompers in his letter takes issue with Mr. Wilson’s version of history in connection with the enactment of the Clayton law, and declares that records would be produced in due time, “in none of which does Mr. John D. Davis ap- pear. With regard to Mr. Wilson's statement that a supreme court decision upholding the Adamson w prevented a national raflroad strike, Mr. Gomypers declares it was a commission of four named by the late President Wilson, of which both Mr. Gompers and Wm.
