SOCIALISTS EXERT PRESSURE. By the Associated Press. LONDON, August 6—Pressure is being brought on thé international con- ference by Dr. Rudolph Breitscheld, leader of the German Soclalists, and the French Socialists who are now in London, to effect immediate military evacuation of the Ruhr. The proponents of immediate evac- vation indicate that the German gov- ernment is likely to fall if its delega- tion returns to Berlin without a prom- ise that the Ruhr and other occupled districts will be immediately freed of foreign troops. This question, although outside the agenda of the conference, is for the moment transcending all others. It is being stressed by the German dele- gates who represent a minority gov- ernment, whose existence, they insist, would be seriously threatened if the military evacuation is not achieved. The French Socialists are support- ing the position taken by their Ger- man colleagues and are intimating that the French domestic political sit- uation also demands compliance with the German request. —_— Five Prostrations in New York.

LAFOLLETTE TICKET FACES DIFFICULTIES | |Rivalry Among Supporters Seen by Democratic and Republican Leaders. | | r | |LABOR VOTE NOT SOLID :2.75 Beer Issue Involved in Vote | of Workers, and Socialists’ Stand a Factor. { e | BY G. GOULD LINCOLN, | The candidacy of Senator La Fol- |lette and Senator Wheeler for Presi- dent and Vice President is going to | its difficulties riding on an even | | have | keel from now to November 4, elec- | tion day, in the opinion of Republican | and Democratic leaders who are watching closely every movement of |the third ticket. Various groups of progressives and liberals who have | indorsed the third ticket, they pointed {out today, are strongly opposed | each other on fundamental issues. | For that reason, they contend, Sen- |ator La Follette will have trouble | keeping them lined up during the coming three month; F xample, they point out, the La Follettee ticket has been indorsed by the Socialist party and by the Ameri- 1 Federation of Labor. The Amer- ican Federation of Labor and the Socialist party are strongly opposed to each other on matters of much im- portance. Dispatches from Atlantic City, where the American Federation | of Labor executive council is now in | session, indicate that the friction be- tween Socialists and federation lead- | ers may not Le long coming. Plain- |1y, the federation leaders say, they | will not be guided by anything that Morris Hillquit of the Socialist party |and prominent La Follette leader in | New York may say or do in regard to candidates for Congress. The feder- aticn will go its own gait, no matter Ewhtm! other groups supporting La Fol- |lette may do. It will support Re- | publicans and it will support Demo- |crats whom the federation considers friendly to organized labor. May Affect Catholic Vote. ‘The indorsement of the La Follette- Wheeler ticket by the Socialists may have some effect upon the Catholic voters, it was pointed out also. The Roman Catholic Church has not look- ed with favor on the Socialist move- ment. The Anti-Saloon League, through its general counsel, Wayne B. Whee- ler, is out with a statement attack- | ing the American Federation of La- bor because of its statement in sup- | port of 2.75 per cent beer, contained in the text of the statement given out when the executive council indorsed the La Follette-Wheeler candidacy. The Anti-Saloon League has kept quiet in regard to candidacy of Sen- ator La Follette, although the of- ficlals of the league say that his rec- ord in the Senate has been wet, ex- cept on the submission of the reso- lution proposing prohibition amend- ment to the Constitution to the States. On prohibition for the Dis- trict of Columbla, on the passage o1 the Volstead act over the President's veto and on the anti-beer bill and other measures, the vote'of the Wis- consin Senator has been ‘‘wet.” But the Anti-Saloon League officers ex- pect Senator La Follette to declare before long for law enforcement, and they say they are confident he will enforce the law should he be elected. Senator La Follette, they say, does not want to have the big issues of his campaign obscured by drawing a |red herring across their trail in the shape of the prohibition question. But the Anti-Saloon League could not, it is said, afford to let pass in silence the declaration of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor, in an- nouncing its support of La Follette, favoring 2.75 per cent beer. “Labor will follow Mr. Gompers on labor policies, but it will not follow him to the barroom brewery control of labor union policies, declared Mr. Wheeler. “There is nothing new in the indorsement of 2.75 per cent beer by certain wet leaders.” Beer Law Possibility. It is pointed out by Republicans here that if the La Follette-Wheeler combination should be successtul and ‘their proposals with regard to amend- ment of the Constitution should be adopted—notably that which would make it possible for Congress to override action of the Supreme Court declaring a law unconstitutional— Congress might be able to put through'a 2.75 per cent beer law and hold it constitutional, even though the court held it opposed to the “dry” amendment to the Constitution. The railroad brotherhoods were strongly represented in the Confer- ence for Progressive Political Action, which indorsed the candidacy of La Follette at Cleveland, practically nominating him. The brotherhoods— so far as their officials and their members are concerned, however— are not a unit in lining up behind Senator La Follette. W. G. Lee, grand president of the Brotherhood of Rail- way Trajnmen, has announced that his organization, as a national organ- ization, did not join with the Ameri- .~ 4Continued on Page 2, Column, 23 ch to | WASHINGTON HEAVY IGE REPORTS MAY DELAY FLYERS FOR SEVERAL DAYS Smith and Nelson Dislike Prospect of Long Hop and Doubtful Landing.

SIX PROSTRATIONS IN HEAT-WAVE TRAIL Continued Sweltering Until Fri- day, Is Forecaster’s Prediction for Washington. With six victims already listed against the heat wave that has blank- eted Washington since yesterday morning, it appeared that the city would have to continue sweltering until Friday, according to forecasts at the Weather Bureau today. Despite the fact that late tonight or tomorrow local thundershowers are on the program, the indications were that the heat Would not be re- lieved before Friday mornming. The temperature, which has been way up in the nineties for the last day or so, may drop a few notches because of the showers, but the humidity they will bring is expected to make the lower temperature felt just as much as if the thermometer stayed high with dry weather. Slight southern and southwestern breezes are included in the forecast. The four stricken with heat yester- day include: Policeman L. R. Beall of the fourth precinct, who was prostrated at roll call in the station house. He was treated by Dr. Criswell of Emergency Hospital; condition not serious, William Ratcliffe, prostrated at Thirteenth and D streets, and treated at Emergency Hospital.

Although the Commissioners considering a recommendation for the widening of K street between Four- teenth and Sixteenth street, they de- clared today they have no intention of seeking to convert the attractive Franklin Square into a parking ground for automobiles. “I certainly am opposed to using Franklin Square for the parking of automobiles,” was the comment of Commissioner Rudolph, chairman of the board. “Such a proposal has never been brought to my attention and I am not convinced that it would be an advisable move,” said Engineer Com- missioner Bell, who is also a member of the newly created onal Capital Park Commission. Inspector Albert J. Headley, chief of the Police Traffic Bureau, credited having put forth the proposal, it as a possible way of providing parking space, but he declared he had no in- tention of recommending it and that he felt sure it would not be done. are ‘Would Buy Property. What the Commissioners are con- sidering is that a part of the $900,000 to be collected annually from the gasoline tax be used to purchase private property near the congested section for municipal auto parking lots. As to the widening of K street, Maj. Bell said a recommendation had been made by the highway division, but had not yet been approved by the Commissioners. “We probably will give the prop- erty owners on that street au oppor- tunity to be heard on the proposal,” Maj. Bell added. The Engineer Commissioner in- dicated that he is in favor of using the small triangular park in front of Center Market at Ninth street for the parking of automobiles, but with- out removing the large trees located there.

UNIONISTS ASSAIL PUBLIGLIBRAREES Librarians’ Union Charges Censorship and Control to Carnegie’s Gifts. By the Assoclated Press. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., August 6.— The administrative system of the great public libraries founded by philanthropists, and specifically the Carnegie chain of such institutions, was assailed in a report submitted today by the Librarians’ Union of the American Federation of Labor to the executive council of the Federation. It is charged that: “Carnegie libraries are mnot con- trolled by the municipalities in which they exist and to which they have been given. “Such libraries are boards of trustees in no sense re- sponsible to the people, but ap- Pointed; instead, by the foundation themselves, or subject to their ap- proval Such control is perpetual. “Public moneys, appropriated by cities and States, pass out of the control of the givers immediately and are administered by the foundation or their trustees. Charge Censorship. “There is rapidly coming into being a system under which only books approved in a certain manner may be placed on the shelves of public libraries administered by foundations. This amounts to a censorship and is 50 intended. “An unjust certification of libraries has come into being and is being urged generally as a law of the fu- ture. The system already exists by law in three States.” Submitting their report at the an- nual conference of the executive council, at the Ambassador Hotel in this city, the librarians’ union urges, with other things, that library em- ployes become subject to the civil service. controlled by Seek Municipal Control. They urge further that the Ameri- can Federation of Labor seek and Ppromote some means of restoring full municipal or local control over public libraries, no matter by whom such in- stitutions were founded or financed. The librarians’ union says it is satis- fied, after a thorough investigation of the administration of public libraries, that they are public utilities which must not be controlled by any agency that is not constantly responsible to the public. “We shall go into these charges most thoroughly,” said Matthew Woll, vice president of the American Feder- ation of Labor and spokesman for this executive council. “This indi- cates a situation intolerable in a free country, among free people. “We have stood for absolute freedom from censorship of what the people read as well as of the plays they see. | We have found that the advocates of censorship miss few op- portunities to forward their danger- ous ideas. “We believe that freedom to think and to know is a real right which be- (Continued on Page 2, Column 8.) | hadio Programs—Page 30. 6, 1924 -THIRTY-SIX PAGES.

CHICAGO, August 6.—Dr. Bernard Glueck of New York, testified at the Franks hearing this morning that Rich. | ard Loeb throughout his mental exam- ination of him had admitted that he struck the blow with a cold chisel which killed Bobby Franks. Throughout the finvestigation of the connection of Loeb and Nathan F. Leo- pold, Jr., with the murder the matter of who actually struck the fatal blow had been the unsolved mystery.

They are being| held without bail at the Halethrope police station, just on the outskirts of | Baltimore, where a hearing is to be held tonight. The death car was owned by Cervetti. Although the exact time of the ac- cident s not known, it is believed to have occurred at 5:23 o'clock this morning. A watch found in Thiery's pockets had stopped at that hour and Police say the terrible impact of the crash smashed the watch the instant the wreck occurred. Bona and his friends were headed toward Baltimore. Just as they reached Caton avenue, which is only a few blocks this side of the Balti- more line, a car ahead signaled for a left-hand turn from the boulevard into that thoroughfare. Bona was too close. He blew his horn and the driver of the other car is said to have pulled over to the right and stopped, neglecting to make his turn to give Bona the right of way. Crash Into Phone Pole, As Bona, believed to have been traveling at a terrific rate of speed, swept past his rear fenders hooked in the fenders of the other car. His own machine careened sharply to the left, Bona lost control of his wheel and the automobile smashed head on into a telegraph pole, hitting with such force it knocked the pole three feet out of its original position.

TO OMIT “MUCKRAKING” IN AIR SERVICE PROBE Representative Lampert, Head of Special Inquiry Committee, An- nounces Purpose Is Patriotic. By the Associated Press. NEWPORT NEWS, Va., August 6.— There will be no “mudslinging and muckraking” in the investigation of the air forces of the United States by the special committee of the House appointed at the last session of Con- gress, Representative Florian Lam- pert of Wisconsin, chairman, declared upon arrival of the committee here this ‘morning to inquire into condi- tions at Langley Field. Mr. Lampert said the investigation would have no significance in the Fall campaign, as 1t will not be completed until March, and that all members of the commit- tee realized they were faced with a “serious, interesting, patriotic prob- lem of unquestioned- importance to the national defense of the country.” The committee was greeted by MaJ. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief of the Army air service, who flew here from Washington, and by Representative S. O. Bland of this city. A flying ex- hibition was staged by Langley Field airmen and a thorough inspection of the station was made by the commit- teemen.

Judge Caverly and the attorneys remained impassive, as had Loeb, when the testimony was offered, Judge Caverly leaning calmly on his hand, elbow on the arm of his chair. Neither Leopold nor Loeb will tes- tify in the hearing. This was made clear today by Mr. Darrow. Although the defense let it be known that ten or twelve witnesses would follow the alienists on the stand, ins cluding some students from the Uni- versity of Michigan, where both youths formerly were students, and that surprise testimony is expected, as the |to the defendants themselves Mr. Dar- row eaid: “One thing I will say definitely.

Incensed by advice given him in let- ters that flood his mail and by state- ments made publicly as to the courss he should pursue in punishing Leo- pold and Loeb, Justice Caverly de- clared today such people were in con- tempt of court. “It is contempt of court for people to try to intimidate a court while a case is on trial and any one who does | it is subject to indictment,” Judge Caverly. “I will bring in some of these peo- ple one of these days and give them an opportunity to appeal to the Su- preme Court.

The vote in the race for the Dem- ocratic nomination for the United | States Senate was running close, with the balloting split five ways. Returns from 340 precincts gave James Malone 2,006; Ed. T.
