CANON CITY, Colo., July 29—An attempt to break prison at the state penintentiary here is believed to have been frustrated last night with the arrest of Charles A. Raish, 25, a student, at the state agricultural college at Fort Collins, Raish drove to the penttentiary about 9 o'clock last night went to the office of Warden Thomas Ty- nan and applied for permisison to see his brother, Thomag W. Raish, 33, who is serving a life sentence for Yrobbery of a mail train near Ala- thosa, Colorado, about three years ago, in which a mail clerk was killed. Prison officials, suspicious because of a previous alleged attempt to smuggle guns to the convicts, noti- fied the county sheriff, who placed Raish under arrest after his auto- mobile, standing just outside the prison gate, had been searched. Of- ficers said they found two revolvers ammunition, two suits of clothes, spare: tires and other equipmept in the car. : Young Raish was charged with conspiracy to ald a jailbreak and was taken to the county jail in cus- tody of the sheriff. Prison officials were put on the alert, they sald, following an oc- currence of June 17 last, when a trusty, driving a truck from the prison farm to the penitentiary was confronted by a young man who gave the trusty a package, instruc ing him to allow it to remain in the truck and instructing him to drive the truck directly to the prison guards as soon as he was inside the walls, The trusty, officers sald, was threatened with death by the young man if he failed to carry out the instructions. He drove into the prison, as directed, they, said, then reported the occurrence to the dep- uty warden, surrendering the pack- age at the same time. The package ‘was found to contain a loaded xe- volver, they said. The man who gave the trusty the package never) was found. ARGENTINE FLIERS LEAVE ROME TODAY.

SPN eah onl Benjamin Bachrach one of the attorneys for the boys helped get into the record this final stage of the state's presentation of evidence by relieving Robert E. Crowe, state's attorney, of the task of reading the prosecution's tran- scription of the boys’ admissions. Mr. Crowe's voice was worn, but af- ter thirty minutes of reading, Mr. Bachrach said he was “getting a lit- tle hoarse.” The state’s attorney, however, declined to take up the vo- cal burden at that time. The boys listened with little change of expression until Mr. Bach- rach reached a passage in which Leopold quoted a profane exclama- tion 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, Bachrach’'s clear voice, both de- fendants grmnned. They smiled again when the ac- count reached a colloquy. between Leopold and Mr. Crowe, in which the latter quizzed the student on the dis- tinction between grammar and rhe- toric. Leopald’s answers here, ac- ing to the record were worth an in. a classroom, Other points that‘amused the de- Lond at that he was an expert. aut driver and his doubt as to, whether “ig ‘gin was his favorite beveQage.

They came early and so many In excess of the usual quota filtered into the room that Judge Caverly halted the case while super- fluous persons were weeded out of the audience. At one point in the reading Léo: pold’s ideas on religion were work- ed into the record. “There is no God," he was quoted as Saying. “I do not believe in a future life, when I die, I die all over, Of course, that is only an opinion and it can be demonstrated only by dying.” Leopold was busy talking to Mr. Barrow when this occurred and ap- parently did not hear it. Loeb, however. leaned far forward (Continued on Page Ten.) | meetings arranged for today. CONFERENCE AT LONDON DRAGS; NO AGREEMENT French Take Lead In Effort to Draft Plans for Co-ordination of Formu- ' las for Big Loan Guarantee LONDON, July 29.—(By The Associated Press).— The inter-allied conference dragged wearily along today with little progress, observable toward the goal of its am- bitions—the launching of the Dawes report.

CRIMINAL LEANINCS OF LEOPOLD AND LOEB DATE BACK TO BOYHOOD DAYS Petty Thieving Indulged In by Youths Now Facing Gallows; Moral Train- ing of Pair Lacking, Is Claim BY OWEN L. SCOTT, (Copyright, 1924, Consolidated Press Association). CHICAGO, July 29.—Boyhood day dreams, nurtured and cultivated in the carefully developed criminal minds of the master, Richard Loeb, and the obedient slave, Nathan ],eopold, Jr., started in early childhood the career of crime that has carried these youths at 19 face to face with the gallows, confessed murderers. And back of their weird experi- ences with phantasies, reveries and hallucinations, alienists have found that the modern home life of the wealthy, jacking the stern atten: tign to moral training, afforded fer- tile gtound for growth of the de- saved tendencies these millionaire killers have shown. Loeb, pampered and tutored by govnesses, went his young criminal way unhampered.

The president said he looked upon the Sao Paulo movement, coming after the revolt at Rio a year ago, as evidence of the weakness of the laws of Brazil regarding the re- pression of sedition. The thirty millions of free thinking Brazilians, he declared, could not be left a prey to u handfull of discontented ad- venturers such as had tried’ to stab the nation in’ the hack, surprising the government while it was in- tensely bending its efforts to recon- struction of the country. ‘The president has glso to consider reorganize the question of dealing with foreign All Out for Tribun It’s Free the Tribune's treat. that ali Casper is probably longing for a cool dip these hot and sultry ed with the management of Riverview Surge up Casper.

It is thought Lopez may try to find (Continued on Page Wight) governments with reference to the damage suffered by the property of their nationals as well as the killing of foreigners during the’ revolt. Although estimates of the total dam age are not yet available from of- ficial quarters, it is believed it will run into many millions of dollars and that the number of soldiers and civilians killed or wounded will reach many hundreds. According to reports not officially verified as yet some of Sao Paulo's finest struc: tures were reduced to ruins. The greatest interest centers in the fate of General Isidoro Lopez, leader of the revolt, who fled to the interior with his troops yesterday For three weeks he ruled Sao Paulo as head of the provisional govern- ment of the United States of Brazil, which with the assistance the rebels hoped of the states of Parana, Santa Catalina, Rio Grande do Sul, Matto Grosso and Minas Geraes, was to e’s Water Frolic.
