Am automobile trip was taken to (Continued on Page Two) auditor,” By OWEN L. SCOTT. (Copyright, 1924, Consolidated Press Association.) CHICAGO, June’ 4.—The age-old Biblical injunction “Spare the rod and spoil the child,” is finding forceful vindication once more in the case of Nathan Léopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb, brilliant examples of a modern, more flabby, un-Spartan theory of child education, who slew young Robert Franks for a thrill. Pampered, petted, tutored a coddled, with all the attention that money can buy, young Leopold and Loeb have been brought up from babyhood to be the proud successors of wealthy Chicago business leaders. Every restriction that youth nor- mally encounters in its battle up- ward to manhood was removed by money. Each whim of their ecare- fully studied minds avas granted that there might be no hampering of the full play of latent ability. Un- spanked, their own masters, they grew to young manhood: under con- ditions that sponsors of modern me- thods of child-raising would term ideal. Now, pitiable, lop-sfded. creatures, a veneer of polished sophistry thelr only asset, they are face-to-face with the gallows. Nurses, tutors, private schools, cars, chauffeurs, unlimited wealth— all failed to give that moral stamina that regard for the rights of others, that understanding social relation- ships which they needed to fit them for the place in society to which their family standing would natural- ly entitle them. Both lads had shown a decided mental precocity in early youth. Taken as a sign of genius, this pre- cocity was carefully deyeloped until it brought Loeb recognition as the youngest graduate of the University of Michigan and Leopold honor as the most youthful of University of Chicago -jaw~students. - Other sides of their young lives were neglected for the sake of bringing out all the Possibilities of carefully - tutored minds. But the system gradually got the tter of the boys. They came gradually to believe themselves su- permen, intellectualists, “‘Nietschian collisi,” as Leopold termed it. They reveled in the pessimistic _ philo- sophy of Schopenhauer, and tn the more virile, cynical teachings of Al!

They took to drink- ing—became cigaret fiends, went with women of many characters, all still in their ‘teens, Even weird, bizarre foods were eaten, Leopold said, in the quest of “thrills.” He told of downing dog meat, horse meat, raw fish, seaweed and bamboo shoots—all for the kick.

CONVENTION Clash Between Smith and McAdoo Men In Democratic Gathering Expected to Hold Fireworks, Report By ROBERT T. SMALL. (Copyright, 1924, The Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, June 4.—RBitterness between the Smith and McAdoo forces in the Democratic party has reached a point where it promises anything but a peaceful clash when the opposing parties meet in Madison Square Garden on June 24. McAdoo forces refused to recognize what is called the “Smith bloc,” their only organized opposition at the convention, They believe if they can break down the Smith boom, former Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo can be nomi- nated on one of the early ballots. Smith supporters are the om who are crying. “He shall not past and it will be up to. them in the con- vention itself to rally the seaftering opposition to the aspirant from California. Aside from the Smith organization there is virtually noth- ing.

Mrs. Berta Smith, head of the W: ming Federation of Music clubs, will preside over the musical part of the program. Mrs. Sinclair will introduee the honored guest.

Governor Smith ts the only outstanding candidate for the nomination except Mr. McAdoo, who has continued to develop some- thing lke cohesive strength. Mr. McAdoo felt that when Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam- many Hall, died several months ago. the Smith boom would suffer a sey- ere collapse, But such has not been the case. Other and younger hands have taken it up. Instead of the machine politician pulling the strings behind the governor, young Frank D. Roosevelt, independent Democrat, is behind the governor and has rallied a number of states to the Smith standard. It will be up to the “Smith bloc" to thwart, if possible, the deter- {mination of the McAdoo forces to take complete charge of the coming convention. The “favorite son" States may join in this movement, but to get anything like an effective organization together will require 1 great deal of negotiation and under: standing before the convention ac- tually begins, There is a feeling in Democratic circles that former Governor Cox, of Ohio, Democratic standard bear- er in 1920, might have collected a considerable bloc of delegates to be used against McAdoo jf he had per- mitted his name to be used in sev- eral states, particularly those ad (Continued on Page Two) Girl Seriously Hurt in Crash -\Louise Bailey, Whose Father Is Said to Reside In Denver, Victim of Ac- cident East of Casper Miss Louise Bailey, 19 years of age, had her throat cut from ear to.ear at 2 o’clock this morning when the car in which she and an unknown person were riding plunged off a bridge on the Yellowstone highway near Evansville.

Parents’ will have hearts to ap- preciate the probable mental agony of Van L. Gilford, rancher near Cheyenne, as he lay on his death bed and knety that he would not see his son, Lee, graduate this month from West Point. He was balked by a call from the great beyond just as he was about to enjoy what was to be the proudest moment of his life. But that is life. Mothers and fathers carry on, making untold sac- rifices for their familles. Disappoint- ments creep in here and there along the way. Science changes modes of living from day to day and yet life itself continues alang thb samp old path it took up that vast age ago. Another accident at the concrete bridge on the Yellowstone highway between here and Evansville. It is time that the highway department provided suitable railings there. Re- gardiess of the carelessness of speeders, the department is not jus tified in leaving any place on the highways as open to sudden ap- proach without warning or protec- tion at night as that bridge. He came and he stayed. With the passing of Wyoming's oldest pio- neer, Hiram Kelly, 91, we have a flash of the daya when this state was a part of the “great American desert.” No rafilroads and highways smoothed and speeded travel across the plains. No cities were conven- {ently arranged to supply proven- der and comfort for wanderers. No farms, no protection from maraud- ing Indians—nothing but {llimitable stretches of sagebrush land and high mountains. It seemed then that nature was allied with the Indian to keep the white man away. Those who came here then and stayed are those who have gperied to the world the present imperial realm of Wyoming.

SHANGHAI, June 4.— (By The Associated Press.) —tThe American round-the- world aerial expedition, pursued by the ill luck which robBed it of its flag plane, the Seattle, together with the commander and his mechanician, Major Frederick I. Martin and Sergeant Alva Harvey, again was divided today and once again it was" the flag lane which was the lag- gard. Major Martin experienced con- siderable difficulty at several stages of the trip north from California, being forced down by engine trouble on the first day’s flight and suffer- ing a number of mishaps which first delayed him far behind the other filers and then culminated in the wreck of his plane against a moun- tain in ‘Alaska. Last Monday the plane “Chicago,”* which succeeded the Seattle in flag honors, experienced engine trouble on the flight from Kushimoto south to Kagoshima, Japan, which result- ed in a forced landing. Today tho same refractory engine—a new one installed at Kasugimaura while the flyers. stopped for a few days at that Japanese naval base—was un. able to raise the CMlcago from the waters of Kagoshima harbor. The other two planes went on. The expectztion here is that tho Chicago, with -Lieatanant Lowell Smith, now commander of the flight, and Leslie P. Arnold, will make the 500-miles jump across the China sea to this port tomorrow if the weather permits and the ‘engine trouble can be reduced to a more tractable con. dition by that, time. A chain of American destroyers, strung along the route to give ald to any flyer forced down ad- verse conditions, will on station for the benefit ds. layed pair. The arrival of the two planes hera at 3:05 o'clock this afternoon, under the pilotage of Lieutenants Leigh Wade and = Nelson, with Ser- weant A. M. Ogden and Lieutenant John Harrington, as mechanics, was dramatic, Great throngs, ranging in personnel from coolies to high Chinese functionaries, greeted the visitors as they swooped down off Black Point, near the mouth of the Whangpoo river, on which this city is located.
