Mr. Loeb had been ill for many months. His doctors had feared that the shock of his son’s confession in the I case and the subsequent court pro- ceedings which resulted in life sen- tences for the two youths would prove more than Mr. Loeb’s weak- ened condition could stand and he was taken to the famil. summer home at Charlevoix, Mich. He re- turned from Charlevoix about two weeks ago. Mr. Loeb’s.condition had prevented him from seeing his son from the time the latter was arrested for the Franks murder. Members of the family and physi- cians said his death was not hasten- ed by the trial and conviction of his son, now serving a life sentence in Joliet penitentiary. Whether the son would attend the funeral was considered doubtful for, although the prison authorities always permit pri- soners to attend funerals of near re- latives, the crowd of curious that would gather made it likely no ap- plication would be made.

EXPLANATION IS PROMISED Persian Government will Send Extraordinary Envoy to United States TO RELIEVE TENSION Will Try to Show That Efforts Have Been Made to Pun- ish Murderers Washington, Oct. 28.—An effort to explain to the satisfaction of the United States its position with re- spect to the punishment of the chief instigators of the murder of Vice- Consul Robert W. Imbrie at Teheran will be made by the Persian gov- ernment through “an extraordinary envoy.” Announcing the decision to com- mission the “extraordinary envoy” in an attempt to relieve any ten- sion resulting from the failure of Persian authorities to give death sentences in the case, Bagher M. i, charge de affaires here em- phasized that friendship with the United States was one of the “es- sential policies” of his government. Charge Kazemi asserted that his government had “not spared a mo- ment of their time, effort and pow- er from seeing to it that guilty per- sons are brought to justice and punished accordingly“ and “to bring about the satisfaction of the state department as well as that of the widow.” Comment on the matter was with- held by the state department but in informed quarters it was doubted that special envoy would be able to isfy the American government with respect to what, in the opinion of some observers, appeared to be procrastination in executing the two men found guilty of the crime by sian military and other courts. The United States has made sharp- ly worded representations both to the Persian representative here and through the American charge at Teheran. No direct statements have been made by this government that failure to carry out the sentences would put a new aspect on the rela- tions of the two governments but there can be no doubt but that such impression was conveyed.

Radio Columnist Claims “First” By NEA Service Harrisburg, Pa., Oct. 28.—Among the claims for first honors in the radio fielq comes that of George F. Bruker of this city.

Coffey, of Fourth Judicial District, was today for Jamestown on business and meeting many friends. Judge Coffey and Judge Fred Jan- sonius are nominees for reelection us judges in this judicial district. Although elections usually have been closely contested in this district, in the primary only scattering votes were cast for opponents of the two presiding judges. Both received a remarkable vote in the primary. Judge Coffey is the senior judge of the district. He has served 14 ars on the district bench, before and since Jamestown was detached from the Fifth Judicial district. The fact that Judge Coffey was elected with little trouble during the most strenuous political periods for the judiciary, in the last six years, considered by his friends to be tribute to his fairness and ability on the bench during his many y. of service. The work in the Fourth district is being kept up well by Judges Coffey and Jansonius, Working in close co- operation—each has had good words to say about the other in the pres- ent campaign—they have made a strong effort to reduce delays in the district courts in the various counties in the district. When he was holding court here the last time, Judge Coffey warned lawyers and litigants that no unwarranted delays in court cases would be per- mitted, and as a result a remarkably long list of cases was disposed of. Judge Jansonius was appointed to the bench two years ago by Gover- nor Nestos. Both of the district judges also are farmers. Judge Coffey has long operated a farm in Stutsman county, and has experienced the adversity and prosperity that has come at various times in the last several years in farm operations. Judge Jansonius operates a farm near Fessenden. Both Judge Coffey and Jansonius are expected to receive remarkably large votes in the coming election.

Dr. Yandell Henderson, professor of applied physiology at Yale Univer- sity, said that the cause of the poi- soning was tetraethyl lead, used in the commercial manufacture of a fluid designed to eliminate “knocl ing” in automobile engines, He charged that its sale on a commer- cial basis in many states is a public menace. The gas plant was ordered closed yesterday and the 40 employes were given physical examinations. It is reported a number of them had been sent to a hospital here, The physicians in the hospitals admit that they know of no antedote for the poison whose symptons they say are new to them. , William McSweeney, 27, of Eliza= beth, N.
