COST OF WARSHIP TRIP TO BRING BODY EXACTED Guards for Legation and Protec- tion of Americans Bluntly De- manded by Washington. Acting Secretary Grew of the State Department anounced today the dis- patch of ‘‘vigorous representations" to Minister Kornfeld, at Teheran, Versia, as a result of the assault upon Mrs. Katherine Imbrie, widow of Vice Consul Robert Imbrie, who was killed Fecently by a mob in Teheran. In announcing the forwarding of the two communications, Mr. Grew raid he had recelved advices from the minister announcing the delivery ©f the communication Saturday to the Tersian authorities. The communication sent to Minis- ter Kornfeld protested against the ®ituation in Persia which culminated in the unprosvnked attack on Mrs. Im- brie. 1t supplementary to a State Department note dealing more generally with the conditions existing was in Persia and covering the vice con- sul's death. May Ask Legation Guard. The communication delivered to the Tersian foreign minister on Saturday indicated that the United States ex- pected the Teheran government to meet the expense of sending an American war vessel to bring home the body of Vice Consul Imbrie and to furnish military guards for the American legation and consulate for such time as might be necessary. A flat statement was made that continuance of American diplomatic and consular representation in Persia “will be dependent upon the action which the Persian government may take in this case to vindicate” the principles of international law. In conclusion the American com- munication said that the Washington | (;overnment “cannot overemphasize the seriousness of the view which i8 taken of the present situation.” Expresses Greatest Comecera. The communication dealing with the killing of Vice Consul Imbrie follows: “I am instructed to inform you that the government of the United States views with the gravest concern the killing in Teheran of its consular representative, Mr. Robert W. Imbrie. “Immediately after learning of the circumstances under which Mr. Imbrie had been killed and his attendant, Mr. Melvin Seymour, seriously injured, your excellency’s government was advised, through its representative in Washington and through the Ameri- can legation in Teheran, that my government would expect adequate reparation to be made and prompt punishment meted out to those re-| sponsible for the killing and to those who bY failure to act contributed to make possible this incident unprece- dented in recent times. “My government has now instruct- ©d me to supplement the representa- tions already made. “It was felt proper that these rep- | resentations should be made only in the light of a full knowledge of the events which had transpired and when it might be possible to fix the responsibility and to gauge the reparation which would be adequate to the situation. Facts Seem Established. “The facts of the case appear suffi- clently established insofar as all es- sential elements are concerned. 'The American consular representative in Teheran, accompanied by an Amer- ican citizen, was brutally assaulted in ,the streets of Teheran, in broad day- light In endevoring to escape from their assailants they entered a car- riage and drove a considerable dis- tance, when they were again assailed, and the tragedy occurred. The Amer- jcan consular representative would appear to have had no reason to an- ticipate danger from visiting the par- | ticular place where he was the victim ©of the unjustified assault. “It is most regrettable that it is necessary to add to this statement that the facts before my government do not indicate that the police or military authorities made any ade- quate effort to protect the American consular representative, and there ap- pears, in fact, to be evidence which, it is believed, the Persian government will itself desire to investigate most vigorously, that certain military ele- ments participated In the assault. “My Government desires nothing which the facts of the case do mnot fully justify. It approaches the situa- tion with no wish to offend a friendly government or to require punitive dam- ages. It is, however, insistent that full reparation should be made, that punish- yrient should be meted out to the gullty, that assurances be given and enforced of adequate protection for the lives of American ctitzens and that the safe- ty of its officials in Persia should be guaranteed. Expefse of Returning Body. My Government does not wish at this juncture to indicate in detail the particular steps which would be con- sidered adequately to meet the situa- tion resulting from the killing of Mr. Imbrie. The Persian government has already stated on its own initiative that redress for the wife of the victim would be made.

WRITING EXPERTS IDENTIFY FRANKS RANSOM LETTERS Battered Typewriter Also Introduced—Prosecution Nearly Ready to Rest. LOEB WAS “MASTER MIND” IN OPINION OF ALIENISTS Investigation Shows Domination Over Leopold—Started Crimes Early. | By the Aseociated Pr . CHICAGO, July 28.—The final pieces of testimony with which State’s At- torney Crowe has been building his “mountain of testimony” in the hear- ing which is to determine the fate of Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold, jr, were reached today. After a morning session devoted largely to expert identification of handwriting and typewriter speci- mens as those made by dants, Mr. Crowe said that only one or two witnesses remained to be heard. One of these is Johnny Levinson. {the youth who was one of the last to e Tobert Franks alive and who, according to the confessions of Leo- {pold and Loeb had once been con- isidered as a likely subject | plot which ended in the abduction and {killing of young Franks. 1 Trial in Second Week. Beginning the second week of the | trial of Loeb and Leopold, Crowe called the handwriting experts in furtherance of what he has termed his “perfect hanging case.” John Tyrell of Milwaukee, Wis. a handwriting expert, with a record of appearances in that capacity at more than 200 important trials, identified the original ransom letter. wheh demanded $10,000 from Jacob M. Franks, father of the slain boy, jand another letter left in a parlor car for Mr. Franks as having been written on an Underwood portable typewriter. A battered Underwood fished from a Jackson Park lagoon, { where, according to their confessons. | Loeb and Leopold had tossed it pre- | viously, had been introduced in evi- dence. Slayers Are Interested. The train letter directed Mr. Franks |to toss the money, securely wrap- ped. from the moving train at a designated place. As Mr. Tyrell ex- plained to Chief Justice John R. |Caverly, in whose hands their fate finally ill rest. Leopold and Loeb strained forward to catch a sight of the typewriting specimens which had guided Mr. Tyrell in his determina- defense counsel. They exchanged a few smiling confidences over tnese. | Mr. Tyrell went into a detailed ex- ;nlanalion to the court of the char- |acteristic printing of the Underwooa portable, and similar information was started on the handwriting specimens, but Attorney Darrow sug- gested the facts were not disputed and Judge Caverly said: “The detense has no objection, so {all these photographic comparisons may go In as one exhibit. May Check Story. ‘The day opened with another in- dication that the defense was not through with the accusation that Leopold and Loeb hoped to escape death by pleading guilty, “before a friendly judge.” Police Sergt. James J. Gort- land, who quoted this alleged remark, was back on the stand to correct a detail to his testimony on which he made notes of this talk. Mr. Darrow questioned him closely as to the identity of persons with whom he discussed the alleged remark at Fair. bury, Ill, and Bloomington. It was indicated this part of the sergeant's story would be checked up. Clarence Darrow, counsel for the defense, said today that reports by morning newspapers today as statements from defense alienlsts were really only the reports of phys- ical examinations made for the in- formation of the defense experts on mentality. Explains Use of Reports. Mr. Darrow said that there were seven reports of alienists intended for defense use and that the two printed were really the least im- portant, since they were intended as reports on the physical conditions of the youths for the alienists to work from. It was pointed out that the re- ports published this morning con- tained no conclusions as to the men- | tal conditions or capacities of the defendants. The reports purported to come from Dr. Carl M. Bowman of Boston and Dr. H. S. Hulburt of Chicago. Policeman Again Quiszed. Court opened promptly at 10 a.m. Robert E. Crowe, State's attorney, called back to the stand Sergt. Jimes J. Gortland, saying he wished the witness to fllentity some of the notes from which he read the bombshell of last Friday when he quoted Leo- pold as wishing to plead guilty before a “friendly judge.” The ques- tioning had to do largely with the exact dates on which Gortland made the various memoranda. Judge Caverly frowned and shook his head as the tedious process continued. At- torney Darrow and Crowe conferred briefly as to the purpose of the State, the former nedding and starting a cross-examination. “Mr. Officer,” Mr. Darrow said, “you now say these certain sheets were (Continued on Page 3, Column 3.) for the| tions and which had been passed to | the defen- |’ WITH SUNDAY MORNING EDITION ., WELL WELL! ) HE SPOT. WE'RE Coolidge’s Year MONDAY, JULY HIS IDEAL in White House Proves Both Happy and Sad President Comes to Triumph at Period When Party Leaders Had Agreed He Must Go. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. Calvin Coolidge completes this week his first vear as President of the United States. Coming to the White House at a time of national mourn- ing, the end of the year finds the President in the midst of a personal bereavement. Between the two sea- sons of sorrow the Coolidges nat- urally have enjoyed the greatest hap- piness that could come to an Ameri- can family—the fulillment of all political and social ambitions. Politically it has been a curious year for Mr. Coolidge, but one which could not help but bring him supreme satisfaction. Here was a man sud- denly called to the presidency at a time when the leaders of his party had just about determined that he had made s=o little impression upon the people nationally that a stronger and more appealing figure would have to be put on the ticket for Vice Pres- ident in 1924, A few months elapsed and Coolidge was master of his party. He was giving orders to the same men who had agreed wisely in council that Coolidge must go. And these men were glad to take the orders. There had come a volcanic eruption in ‘Washington. Tt was sweeping away official reputations and delving deep into the doings of the Republican administration. The party leaders knew instinctively that no investiga- tion could possibly involve Mr. Coolidge. RAIL BOARD HALTS HEARING IN DISPUTE Will Take Up Enginemen’s Controversy Again Sept. 8. Plans Court Fight. ated Press. B’é:;f::‘:é’o, July 28—The United States Railroad Labor Board today postponed until September 8§, further hearings on the controversy between engine operatives and the Western carriers. The postponement came upon the initiative 'of the board in order to allow the carriers additional time to prepare statistics and historical data on the rules involved in the con- troversy. There was no representa- tives of the labor brotherhoods in- volved before the board today. After the board adjourned it was indicated that 'in the interim steps would be taken to establish in the courts its authority to summon and compel parties to a dispute to sub- mit its case to the tribunal. Early Action Indicate It was indicated that action in this direction may be taken this week if there is no disposition on the part of the organizations involved to sub- mit evidence in the dispute to the board. The hearing this morning pro- ceeded in regular order, notwith- standing the absence of representa- tives of the brotherhoods. Several general chairmen from various roads representing the two brotherhoods were present at the hearing in the capacity of unofficial observers. In examining representatives of the carriers as to the status of a similar case on the docket of the board, Chairman Hooper is believed to have paved the way for a decision dispas- ing of many of the controverted points in the present case without testimony. With the rules controversy dis- posed of, wages might be agreed on By direct conference.

But that was as far as they went The Republicans began to look to Mr. Coolidge as the Moses to lead them out of the wilderness.™ They clung to him and proclaimed him as the party's greatest asset. Opposition to his nomination fell away so rapidly that only Hiram Johnson was left, and before the con. vention he gave up the ghost and released the few scattering votes that had come to him in the early primaries. Coolidge won the party conventions and the party primaries virtually everywhere This unprecedented triumph with the people, as reflected in the pishes of his own party, came to Mr."Cool- idge after a Reublican Congress— Republican at least in name—had flaunted him as no President has been defied, not even Cleveland or Roose- velt.

The Tairei Maru of 240 tons, nomi- nally is a freight steamship, but was carrying 138 passengers besides the crew of 54. She is operated by the North Japan Steamship Company be- tween the Island of Saghallen and Hokkaido, northernmost of the main Japanese islands. She was bound for Otaru. Eighteen passengers and’ five members of the crew survived, reach- ing Toyohara in lifeboats. The cause of the wreck is obscure.

OFPOSITION IS EXPECTED Case Grew Out of Oil Man's Re- fusal to Answer Questions ' by Walsh. Harry F. Sinclair, lessee of Teapot Dome, today filed in the District Court of Appeals a petition for ai- lowance of a special appeal from the recent decision of Justice Adolph A. Hoehling of the District Supreme Court that Sinclair must answer an indictment reported against him for | alleged contempt of the United States Senate in refusing to testify in the oil inquiry. The order appealed from is what is known as an interlocutory one, which does not carry the right or appeal, and it is necessary to secure permission of the appellate tribunal | to entertain the matter before a jury trial. Justice Hoehling. in his opinion, invited the taking of the matter to the higher tribunal, remarking that the fundamental question of the right of Congress to compel evidence in discharge of its legislative function is of grave importance and was| called by the United-States Suprcme Court “far reaching.” Might Save Much Time. Through Attorneys Martin W. Lit- tleton, George P. Hoover, J. W. Zeve- ly and G. T. Stanford, Mr. Sinclair asks the Court of Appeals to decide the questions of law involved in the case in advance of a trial. The law- yers point out that it is a case emi- nently proper in ghe interest of jus- tice to avoid a protracted trial and to expedite the determination of le- ®al questions which they call prime importance and far reaching | effect in the administration of the affairs of government and in the pro- tection of the right of the citizens of the United States.” Sinclair, when recalled. for exami- nation before the oil committce, de- clined to answer any more questions, and the committee reported him to United States Attorney Gordon. Maj Gordon and Attorneys Atlee Pome- rene and Owen J. Roberts, special counsel in the oil cases, laid the mat- ter before the grand jury and secured an indictment charging contempt of the Senate against Mr. Sinclair. Counsel for the oll magnate moved to quash the indictmént, and the prosecution countered with a motion to dismiss the motion to quash. Both mptions were argued before Justice Hoehling, who held that six of the nine questions propounded by Sena- tor Walsh, prosecutor of the commit- tee, to Mr. Sinclair wefe revelant and pertinent to the inquiry before the Senate and should have been answered by him. Expect U. S. to Oppose. Three other questions, the court held, were not pertinent and an in- dictment for refusing to answer them could not be sustained. An “omni- bus” count of the indictment which declared Sinclair refused to answer any questions was stricken out by the court as not stating a cause of action under the law. Maj. Gordon and the special coun- sel for the government have te® days under the rules of the Court of Ap- peals to file opposition to the grant- ing of the motion before the mat- ter is taken up for, consideration by the court. It is expected the, govern- ment will oppose the speclal appeal and will claim that Sinclair should first stand trial, and, if convicted, it will be time enough to appeal to the higher court. | understood was a combination jcould be taken, will Radio Programs—Page 16. every city Origin of Indians Goal of Expedition To Pacific Islands Scientifio exploration of« the islands of the South Pacific “with the possibility always existing of eventually throwing light on the origin of the American Indians” is again in progress with the Navy mine sweeper Whippoorwill, commanded by Lieut.

LONDON, July 28.—The compromise | proposals, said to have been offered by the American representatives at tho inter allied conference and in- tended to break the deadlock on the subject of security for the loan to | Germany, which appeared to have met with success earlier today. pro- duced divergencies late this after- noon, which, solution of the difficulty.

Plenary Session Todny. The experts were to reassemble at 3 o'clock this afternoon to reconsider the proposals which are intended to reconcile the British and American bankers to the attitude of the con- ference delegates on defaults and sanctions under the Dawes plan. The experts expressed the hope that a complete agreement may be reached, and submitted to the plenary session at 4 o'clock. . The question of an invitation for German delegates to attend the con- ference was postponed late today for a decision by the “Big Five" to- | morrow. When the Germans arrive they not only urge the economic and mil tary evacuation of the Ruhr valle but will probably.also raise the ques- 11 ) tion -of evacuating the Cologne zone now held by British troops, according to the Daily Mail, which® says the British government has received exact information to the foregoing effect. MacDonald Faces Dilemma. It is understood, the paper adds, that Premier MacDonald told his al- lied colleagues Saturday that it would be dificult for Great Britain not to withdraw in accordance with the terms of the treaty, which stipulates that, provided the treaty is faithfully carried out, the Cologne bridgehead shall be evacuated five years from the date on which the treaty became eftective. This period would termi- note on January 1 next. The paper points out that the French theory, with which the Be glans mainly agree, is that the Ger- mans have not carried out the treaty faithtully and that therefore the stip- ulated five years have not yet even begun. Hence a serious dilemma arises, for if the British withdraw from Cologne it will be useless for the French to hold the other bridge- heads, and the whole edifice of the allied occupation of the Rhine will crumble immediately. Since the conference was dead- locked a week ago on the question of security for a loan to Germany there has been a growing feeling in Amer. an official circles against re- current reports that the whole diffi- culty has been caused by the unyleld- ing attitude of Amerlcan bankers who, according to the newspapers, have sought to put their views on political as well as economic ques- tions before the conference. Kellogg Corrects Mistake. Frank B. Kellogg, the American Ambassador, has expressed the opin- fon that there had been considerable | misrepresentation of the efforts of the American bankers to protect in- vestors in a German loan, and last night = from other authoritative sources it was intimated that the American observers are unwilling | that the misconception ¢f what ac- tually has happened should continue. | Charles E.
