CRIMINAL COURT BUILDING, CHICAGO, IIL, September 10—Sen- tences of life imprisonment for the murder of 14-year-old Robert Franks and 99 years’ imprisonment for kid- naping the hoy were meted out to- day to Nathan F. Richard Loeb by Judge John Caverly. The youth of the defend- ants, 18 and 19 years, was all that | saved them from the noose. The separate sentences were passed to meect legal technicalities. Judge Caverly said no minor ever had been sentenced to death in Illinoi. on a plea of guilty, adding that such action was contrary to all the tend- ency of criminal law. “The court finds no mitigation in the crime itseli in the defendants’ personalities or their antecedent Judge Caverly said. He then ac- cepted “full responsibility for declin- ing” to impose the death penalty on persons who are not of full age. Go to Prixon Today. At the office of the county sheriff in the Criminal Courts Building it was first announced that_ Leopold and Loeb would not be sefirted for Joliet today, but probably would be held in the local jail until Friday. There w however, a persistent rumor that the start would be made within a few hours, and in the midst of conflicting reports Sherifft Hoff= man definitely announced that Leo- pold and Loeb would be taken to Joliet penitentiary within an hour. Despite Sheriff Hoffman's announce- ment, uncertainty continued as to when the boys would start for Joliet and it appeared that several hours mizht eclapse before the necessary lezal papers would be executed. Crowd Watches Jail. An immense crowd gathered about the entrance the Cook Countv il when the decision became known score of motor cyele policemen, lined up on both sides of the street, held the people in check.

CHRISTIANIA, September 10.— The Spitzbergen expedition, led by the famous Arctic scientist, Hoel, has returned after a tour of ex- ceptionally interesting results. Hoel attributes this r's mild Arctic Summer to scanty rain. He made another interesting discov- ery, that the temperature of the gulf strean is diminishing. It is impossible to decide yet, he said, whether the phenomena is limited to this Summer or if a real cool- ing process has begun. While mapping, the expedition found that the glaciers of Spitz- bergen were returning from the coast to the inner country.

Senator Glass Indignant Over Pub- | lication of Private Letter. Senator Carter Glass expressed in- dignation today over a press dispatch trom Richmond, published in The Star and other newspapers, in which he was | made to appear as a critic of John W. | Davis because of the latter's “swing |around the circle” in the presidential campaign. Senator Glass' indignation was aroused in the first place because a private letter had been given out for publication, and, secondly, because its contents had been so twisted as to place him in a false position. His let- ter was in reply to one from a con- stituent expressing regret that Sen- ator Glass had not been made the Democratic nominee, and the follow- ing is the exact language the Vir- ginia Senator used: “It was certainly providential that 1 was not nominated as the candidate of the party for the presidency, inas- much as I have been ill since return- ing from the convention. “The nomination of Mr. John W. Davis_was so good an achievement that I scarcely hoped it could be brought about. In my judgement he was easily the best furnished man of them all for the place, and I am grat- ified to know that he is acquitting himself finely on the stump, although I am not much of a believer in presi- dential candidates touring the coun- try for votes.” ch }left fiele { to second on the throw {liner to right.

Septesmber 10.—The’ Rong Island visif of the Prince of Wales will be extended into next week if the second international polo game is played then, and if the hon- ors should be even between the Brit- ish and Americans after the second game he will stay for the final con- test, it was learned today. Capt. Lascelles, Wales' secretary, said Wales was determined to see at least two of the three games, since that was one of the chief purposes of his visit. The future British sovereign play- ed another polo game this morning at the J. S. Phipps field, in Westbury, his injured eye having almost en- tirely recovered. Dr. Richard Derby called again just before the prince left for the polo grounds. The swell- ing had almost entirely disappeared and the inflammation had gone. The prince will no longer wear his eye- shade or his yellow glasses. Blds Howard Good-Bye. Sir Esme Howard, the British am- bassador, and Lady Howard called at the James A. Burden home today to bid the prince good-bye. They will return tomorrow to Manchester, Mass., their Summer home. g The prince danced last night with a small party at the home of Mrs. Ronald Tree, after dining as the guest of Harrison Willlams in Gen Cove. _The prince has been deluged with gifts of almost every conceivable variety. Firms and individuals have sent him - walking = sticks, cigars, clgarettes, neckties, belts, paper knives and small picces of statuary. Half a dozen such presents arrive dally, but inasmuch as the prince has a rigid rule of never accepting pres- ents from perons with whom he is not acquainted, all such gifts sre promptly sent back by registered mail” Capt. Lascelles said. Many of the prince’s feminine ad- mirers, he added, wrote ‘to request autographs and photographs. From 10 to 40 such letters come daily from many parts of the world.. The prince, Capt. Lascelles pointed out, could not comply with such requests unless he spent much of his time signing his name, and S0 a form letter explain- ing this is sent to each correspondent.

GOULD LINCOLN. The selection of Speaker Frederick H. Gillett by the Republicans of Mas- sachusetts as their candidate for the senatorial seat now occupied by Sen- ator David I. Walsh, Democrat, was regarded here today as another evi- dence of the strong grip which Presi- dent Coolidge has on the people of his own State, and in a more limited way, of the grip which he has on the people generally. Because of the announcements of Gillett support, first by Frank Stearns, close personal friend of the President, and second, by William M. Butler, chairman of the Republican national committee, the- impressiod was created in Massachusetts that Mr. Coolidge wanted Gillett nomi- nated. This, although the President him- self made no statement in regard to the three-cornered race for the sena- torial nomination, with Louis A. Cool- idgo and Representative Dallinger competing against Speaker Gillett and each other. Lends by 50,000, A few weeks ago, even 10 days ago, according to reports from Massachu- setts, the result.of the senatorial race was much in doubt. But the returns now show Mr. Gillett leading his clos- est opponent by more than 50,000. While the Speaker has been a Na- tional figure for a number of years by virtue of his choice to preside r the House, he has not been widely known personally in Massa- chusetts, and both Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Gillett had been campaigning for many months for the senatorial nomi: nation. The Speaker will have his work cut out for him in_the coming con- test with Senator Walsh. But Re- publicans here from the Bay State are saying today that Mr. Gillett will be elected notwithstanding the popularity of Senator Walsh. They base their prediction on the fact that the Republican nominee for Senator this year will have the prestige of the Coolidge national ticket to aid him—that thousands of Republicans and others who will support Coolidge for President will vote the straight Republican ticket rather than _split their ballots. | Furthermore, they say, now that G lett has been nominated, the people T of Massachusetts will be entirely willing to elect to the Senate'a man who is undeniably of senatorial tim- ber and size. They expect the solid support of Massachusetts Repubiicans for the Speaker. Butler Statement. Chairman William M. Butler today issued the following statement in regard to the Massachusetts pri- mary: “All available fizures from Massa- chusetts, with more than half of all the precincts reported, show that F. H. Gillet, Speaker of the House of Representatives, has won the sena- torial nomination by a large margin. It is gratifying that a stanch sup- porter of President Coolidge, whe has rendered fine public service to the United States and Massachusets, showd be nominated for the United States Senate.

DETROIT, September 10.—Senator James Couzens took the lead for the first time in the race for the Repub- lican nomination for United States Senator when 291 Wayne precincts| placed him in front of Judge Arthur J. Tuttle. The vote, with™1,883 of the State's 2,765 precincts reported, was: Couzens, 222,374, Tuttle, 202,812, Smith, 24,467 ‘Tussing, 22,618. Tuttle came into Wayne County with a lead of approximately 30,000 votes. Returns from Detroit were for Couzens, 2 to 1. Couzens Is Confident. Senator Couzens, predicting his election to the full term in the United States Senate by at least 30,000 votes over Federal Judge Arthur J. Tuttle, his nearest opponent, in a formal statement to the Associated Press to- day expressed his gratification that “the unorganized Couzens movement has beaten the organized anti-Couz- ens movement.” The short term for the United States Senate, to fill the vacancy created by resignation of former Senator Newberry, and to which Sen- ator Couzens was appointed by Gov. Groesbeck until the time of the No- vember election this vear, also may have been won by Couzens. Returns from 1.521 precincts in the State at noon gave him a lead of 5791 over Judge Tuttle for the Republican nom- ination for this office. which will ex- pire next March. The vote stood: Couzens, 165,308; Hal H. Smith, 24,662; Arthur J. Tuttle, 159,517 Groesbeck Wins Eastly. Mortimer E. Cooley, dean of the engineering department of the Uni- versity of Michigan, was the only Democratic candidate for both long and short senatorial terms. Gov. Alex J.

Chemist Makes. Sugar From W ater, Carbon Dioxide and Ultra Violet Rays)| By the Associated Press. ITHACA, Y., September 10.— For the first time in history man has succeeded in making a sugar in a way similar to that in which the green leaves of plants have been ylelding it for countless. ages, a meeting of the division of sugar chemistry of the American Chemical Society at Cornell Uni- versity was told today. This ~development, called by chemists one of the great triumphs of modern times, was achieved by Dr. E. C. C. Baly, senlor professor of chemistry in the University of Liverpool, England. Hejtold the society he had made formaldehyde from carbon dioxide and water with the aid of ultra violet light, and sugar developed from the for- maldehyde. Prineipal J. C. Irvin of the Ancient Scottish University of St. Andrews, it was announced, by Independent Investigation, had proved that the product evolved by Prof. Baly was glucose sugar. In studying absorption spectra, Prof. Baly and his associates de- veloped the theory that the suc- cess of the chemical reactions oc- curring in the leaves of plants is due to the fact that immense quantities of energy are absorbed from the sun’s rays. It has long been believed that the first reaction which occurs in a green leaf is the uniting of car- bon dioxide and water to form formaldehyde. So Prof. Baly ex- posed carbon dioxide and water to ultra violet rays from a quartz- mercury vapor light. In this way he was able to form slight traces of formaldehyde, but he found that the formaldehyde immedi- ately formed sugar and that the sugar at the same time was re- transformed into formaldehyde. The reactions Involved in this synthesis of sugar, it was pointed out, require energy hundreds of times greater than that for any reaction which has so far been commercialized. w Read, | “Tink- | Mr | as fast as the papers are printed.
