Crime Record of Boy Slayers Goes Back to Babyhood Stole at Age of Eight, Alien ists Find—Loeb Master > Mind in Franks Murder. (Continued from Pace One.) talked of Leopold, sr. But It was too close to home. Sentimentally?—prac tically. They would have to attend the funeral. They would have to stay Indoors. The plot—the money they didn't need—would coljftpse. They planned the murder of Franks —but Franks at that time was not selected as the victim—while return ing from Ann Arbor, after burglaring the fraternity houses, last year. The perfect crime. The greatest detectives In the world baffled. Loeb and Leopold, superior, knowing all, unsuspected. Immune. That was the Plot. Killing Agitated Leopold. And that was the dream, the reverie, the romantic phantasy of young Loeb. And of young Leopold. Loeb's heart beats as the life’s Mood of young Franks ebbs away on the flooring of the hired death car. “He was hit on the head several times. He bled.” It Is Loeb talking. “I got great excitement, great heart-beating, which was pleasant. I was cool and self-possessed. I had quite a time quieting down Leopold. "I cooled him down in five min utes after we got him (Franks) into the back seat, thinking him still alive. "He bled. Deopold said: ‘This Is terrible, this Is terrible.’ I told him it was all right, and Joked and laughed, possibly to calm myself, too.’* Pleasure Chief Crime Reason. “They anticipated a fe wunpleasant moments In strangling him.” the alienists write. "Each planned to hold one end of the strangling rope an dtJiey would pull at the same time, so both would be equally guilty.” This Is what the alienists think of these two: “The patient lists as his reasons for committing the crime: “First, the pleasure of planning It. "Second, the notoriety which the papers would give to the crime, and the fact that he could talk It over with other people and derive a thrill from hts feeling of superior ity, In that he knew the true facts about the crime, end “Third, the money to be gained. “Asked if he would go through i this crime again if he felt certain he would not be discovered, he re plied: •• ‘I believe I would, If I could get the money.’ ’’ The money! The report shows that 1 his family—worth $10,000,000—had denied him nothing, and that he had $.1,000 of his own In the bank. I.oeb a Coward. And the doctors say of Loeb: "The patient’s Intellectual func tions are Intact, and he is. obvious ly, ’of high Intelligence. Neurolog ical and physical examination was extensive, but did not show any pathology, except the low basal metabolism, which may be related to his relatively low Inclinations.” In actual physical combat, Loeb is a coward. The report says It Just that way. But, on the other hand, he is extremely reckless of his life, and of any pain that he has not yet ex perienced. He would sail a boat Into a storm, knowing It to be dangerous, without the slightest trace of fear. Pities Himself. He pities himself. Others are al ways wrong. He Is always right. But he has never been able to accept Leopold’s code that anything he does for his own pleasure is all right. He says he believes in the old conven tional viewpoint—but says he doesn’t ' adhere to it because he is, well, differ ent, and Intellectual. His dreams, for years, were always the same. He was the "master crim inal mind.” Others did his bidding, sometimes a group, sometimes Just one. Latterly, just one. That one was Leopold. His dreams did not end with child hood. They endured right up to now, and probably even now, as he lays his sleek head down on the hard Jail cot, he dreams of Loeb, the world conqueror, the pirate leader, the Scottish chieftain, the universal Raf fles. The most pleasurable point In nil the phantasies was his super-intel lectual plotting. He was the “master mind,” so clever that he could escape detection from the greatest deted tives in the world. Planned One “Pprfeot Crime.” “Thus,” the report says, "he would be in truth the ’master crim inal mind’ of the century, and would work out a wonderful plan for a crime which would stir the country and which would never be solved.” 1 He paid close attention to the mys terious kidnaping of Charlie Ross, years ago. That was because the crime, like those of his half-waking dreams, wns unsolved. “In all his criminal phontaries," the report goes on, "the thing that gave him pleasure would be the prestige *o himself as the ’master mind’ directing the criminal opera tions- which no detective could solve.'* His phantasies centered about ono object. One perfect crime, and then a withdrawal from that life, so that the rest of his existence might be spent In placid contemplation, de lightful retrospect of his one great adventure. His fncorlto book. He doesn’t re member the title. It was "The Be loved Traitor,” or something like that. One of the stories, however, 'he’ll never forget. f’opr rig lit, 1*21. hr Iterslil end Kisnilner nnri Fnlversel Service. Spanish Sauce One small can of tomatoes.

Samardlck, chief of the federal prohibit loin agents, paid a visit to the Omaha "colony” recent ly created by Federal Judge John F. McGee. The men were all eager to talk and shake hands with Samardlck. The women, however, avoided him, and would not even look at him. Samardlck, accompanied by a re porter for The Omaha Bee, wanted to know if his “friends" were satisfied, happy and contented. Each one of the 30 in the Fremont jail confessed that In the long run bootlegging does not pay and said he was through for ever. He's Getting Fat. Take for Instance "Slim Billie” Fox, former owner of the Baseball headquarters who was given six months for selling beer. He went into the jail weighing 110 pounds. In three weeks he actually gained 15 pounds. Fox runs the rummy and panglngy games among the prisoners. The Omaha "colony" has Its own cook, musicians, quartet, opera and jazz stars, wrestlers, fighters and sleight of hand performers. There's Frank Wood, who Is spend ing his honeymoon In the Dodge county jail. He got married the day he was sentenced. He boxes for the benefit of Sheriff Condlt’s guests. Razor and Fiddle. Jake Soltnsky. who left a wife and four children because he didn't agree with Volstead, is the barber and plays the violin. The "colony" boasts of a minstrel In Charlie Mitchell of Twenty-fourth and Decatur streets. He is also known as "Charlie from Decatur.” He Is the jazz song bird. Oscar Jones, who played the saxophone before Judge McGee came to town, uses a piece of paper and broomstick to play "Oh, Baby, Oh, Baby, I Wish I Was Out of Here.” Sheriff Condit admits he has the best bunch of prisoners he has ever had since Dodge county first elected him and that was many years ago. Food Is 0. K. Gus "Curly” Fagenberg, who wel comed Samardlck at 1717 Webster, plays the role of fireman for Condit. Hugh B. Kirwin acts as peace officer In the bull pen. Clark Spencer Is cook for the boys, as well as for Mrs. Condit, and prisoners declare that Condit's food is "Fontenelle” com pared to the fare In the Douglas coun ty jail. There is a steady stream of visitors from Omaha to the Condit castle located on the top floor of the Dodge 1 county court house. _ Coolidge Rebukes Defense Day Rap President Gives Unqualified Endorsement to Prepared ness Test Plan. By rnlvmol Service. Washington, July 27.—President Coolidge has rebuked In strong lan guage opponents of national defense lay, set for September 12, and de clared their condemnation was based )n a misrepresentation of the facts. In a letter to Frederick J. Libby, executive secretary of the national jouncll for prevention of war, the president gave his unqualified en lorsements of the plan of the war de partment for the test. He urged the necessity for an adequate national lefense. The president said that, while he s In sympathy with the aim and pur pose to make war, as nearly ns might pe, an Impossibility, he could not de lect any Inconsistency In giving his lupport to plans to keep the nation prepared for an emergency. In defending his position, Mr. Cool dge pointed out that, while wishing ill crime might be abolished, he did lot favor doing away with courts ind police protection. Then he added hat although he hoped war might pe made an Impossibility, he would lot leave the country unprotected In he meantime. He explained that the irmy’s defense test was merely a paeans to assure the fullest efficiency :o the extremely modest defense force he country maintains. The national council for prevention >f war, which today started a cam paign In behalf of world co-operation ’or peace, a few days ago asked the president to endorse the movement. In their campaign the council took pccaslon to censure the plans of the war department for the national de fense test. Secretary Weeks and pther officials brought the matter to ihe attention of the president. In his letter to Libby made public :oday President Coolidge recalled cor respondence he had with the national 'ouncll and his reply to a request for in endorsement of the campaign for world peace. He said that In his pub ic expressions on the subject he has indicated clearly his sympathy with ihe aim and purpose to eliminate war f possible. Then he referred to the council’s pppositlon to the national defense test, which, he said, probably was lue to a confusion of terms, as In »ome unofficial way the defense test has been denominated ’’mobilization lay." He pointed out there Is to be no mobilization of the armed forces pn that occasion and the government s not responsible for the false Im pression. WOMAN’S JOB IS HUNTING TROUBLE Columbus,- O.. July 27.—Life Is just a never-ending game of tag with trouble for Mrs. Vivian Coyle, Colum bus matron. When the winged spec :er of disorder Isn't pursuing her, she Is chasing It. But she doesn't complain. 8he Is .jetting paid for her part In the same. Mrs. Coyle’s vocation Is not follow ed by any other member qf her sex In the United States, her employers believe. She Is chief tester for the Ohio Bell Telephone company's auto matic lines. Arranged before her on her desk are Innumerable devices for curing the Ills of the automatic trunks. By an almost uncanny manipulation of the divers switches, levers and dials, ths system of which she has per fected during ths seven years of serv ice, unruly wires are spotted, and the linemen do the rest.

Itlchard Ounther won only after hours of fighting. The shark attacked the open boat In which Ounther and a hoy were sailing. Time after time, the shark charged the hoat and tore several holes In It.

La Follette Not to Limit Donations Will Welcome Campaign Gifts From Any Source “Not Seeking Favors.” Washington, July 27.—Senator La Follette, independent candidate for president, and his advisers have de cided to place no arbitrary limit on campaign contributions or a cam paign fund total. They say they are concerned only with receiving money from Individuals and organizations seeking no legislative favors and hav ing no special Interests to be served, and with expending funds properly. Before returning to Chicago head quarters, Representative Nelson of Wisconsin, I-a Follette’s campaign manager, said today that the next few weeks would be devoted mainly to working out detailed plans for raising an adequate campaign fund and to perfecting state organizations. As yet It has not been determined, he added, how much money will be needed to finance the campaign. In the main, money will be used, It was said, for campaign literature, appeals for support through the malls, broad casting speeches by radio and stump iqg tours by Mr. La Follette and his running mate, Senator Wheeler of Montana, which are expected to take one or the other Into nearly every state. BRITISH MAY BAN SCRIPT IN SCHOOLS London, July 27.—The question whether children shall, or shall not, be taught to write "script" Is again agitating the scholastic world of Britain. . The Folkestone education commit tee has Just registered an emphatic protest against "script.'* It was stated that children were unable to sign their names under this system, and that the savings hanks refused to accept a signature in "script” when children wished to withdraw their money. It was also pointed out that a sig nature on a legal document In "script" was not accepted unless witnessed Several members argued that "script" took away the character of a per son's handwriting. The committee clerk Informed the meeting that “script" was introduced Into Kngland from the United States and was adopted by the board of edu cation. which had, however, subse quently lost all Its Initial enthusl asm for It. Although there were strong argu ments put forward In favor of "script" on account of Its legibility, the committee decided to petition the board of education to have It abolished In schools.

At first he said nothing. He peered down sharply at tliat fallen nest. Finally he flew down and examined It. Of course, he found It empty. Sammy flew away In great excite ment to epread the news that Happy Jack's home had been destroyed and that the Squirrel family had disap peared. But he had told It to only two or three when he spied Happy Jack frisking along the old stone wall quite as If nothing had happened "HI, Happy Jack! Where la Mrs. Happy Jack?” cried 8ammy. “Taking care of her children as a good mother ahould.” replied Happy Jack promptly. "Where?” demanded Sammy. "That Isn't for me to tell," retorted Happy Jack, hla black eyes snapping with mischief. "Was any one hurt when your home fell to the ground?" Inquired Sammy. "No one was even scratched," said Happy Jack, and hla eyes twinkled more than ever. "Wonderful:" exclaimed Sammy Jay. "Wonderful! I don't see how H was possible that no one was hurt in lueh a fall as that." "There was nothing wonderful shout It,” retored Happy Jack. "Why wasn't there?" Inquired Sammy Jay sharply, for he didn't like being contradicted. "Because no one fell," replied Happy Jack. "Mrs. Happy Jack and our four babies were safe safe In out new home when that branch broke off.” \ Of course, this was news to Rummy Jay, and right away he wanted to know where that new homo was. Of course. Happy Jack wouldn't tell him. and of course, Sammy Jay lost nls temper. Happy Jack Just laughed and scampered nway. Then Sammy Jay started out to find out what had be come of Mr. Happy Jack and ner babies. It didn't take him very long to dlseover where the new home was, and out of spite he passed the word around. Hut Happy Jack and Mrs. Happy Jack had not expected to keep their borne a secret very long, snd so they didn’t worry about the pratter. They knew that Sammy wouldn't tell Shadow the Weasel, and Hhailnw was the only one who could get nt those babies as long ns they remained In their new home. Hut bnhles will grow.

The Inimitable Harold Lloyd Is back .again In his latest comedy, "Girl Shy.” It has been a policy with Lloyd to always make each comedy different and not to rely on the same type of character to pull laughs from his audience. This time Harold takes the part of a tailor’s apprentice, and, although he has been studying for weeks to be a "sheik,” he finds that each day he Is shyer than the day be fore. Jobyna Ralston, who supports him, brings to the screen a distinctive type of beauty, young, dainty and refresh ing. Others in the cast are Richard Daniels and Carlton Griffin, with the direction credited to Fred Newmeyer. At the Moon. "The Spirit of the U. S. A.,” at the Moon theater this week, marks the uniting on the screen of the artistry of Mary Carr and Johnnie Walker. Not since "Over the Hill" made its appearance several years ago have these two played together. The pair' are naturally joined as mother and son, with the former In an appealing role as a gold star mother whose old est boy is killed In France and whose younger son returns as a heroic figure to his country in time to save his parents from disgrace. The story depicts several big war scenes, but is not a war film. In the cast are Gloria Grey, Carl Stockdale, Rose mary Cooper and Dickie Brandon. ' At the Strand. A double bill Is offered at the Strand theater this week. The Made line Brandeis production, "Not One to Ppare,” is the feature film. The plot for this story was taken from E. L. Beer's poem which appeared years ago In th? fourth readers of the publio schools. Renaud Hoffman, who directed the picture, has plcturized the old poem with the same communicating sense of the enduring humanities that Is to be found In the seventeenth century Dutch masters’ paintings. John Moore and his wife have seven children. John's brother, living In lonely luxury, offers to adopt one of the seven for a consideration, and the parents’ per plexity as to which it shall be is the crux of the story. The picture is well cast, with Ethel Wales as the mother and Willis Marks as the father. The other part of the pro gram, "Hold Your Breath," is a side splitting comedy. At the Rialto. Telling the story of an American society girl who was virtually offered j for sale to the highest bidder, that her parents might continue to keep up their social pretenses, "For Sale.” I which Is showing this week at the Rialto theater, is one of the most j impressive end colorful pictures of society life that has ever been shown in Omaha. Eleanor Bates Is the girl. The part la ideally suited to Claire Windsor, who handles the role In a masterly fashion. Adolphe Menjou again is seen in a role at which he Is right at home, that of a ’’sympathetic heavy.” whose wealth puts him in the running for the hand of the heroine. Mary Carr plays the role: of a society matron who is willing to sacrifice her daughter's happiness for ; the love of riches. /-\ Movie Doings V.___/ Run—A return engagement of Har old Lloyd's latest comedy, "Girl Shy."

Threat From Klan Received in Tar and Feather Case Mysterious Phone Call Hints at “Something Serious,” If “That Woman Is Released.” By Inlvemal Sendee. Frederick, Md„ July 27.—The Ku Klux Klan of Myersvllle will see that something really serious happens, if that woman is released.” That Is the threat received by Mag. 1st rate A. T. Brust. who held nine persons Friday night for the action of the grand jury In the tar and feather episode of Thursday night. This Is the first mention of the klan since the mob of 50 men who it is alleged forced Mrs. Mary Fhank. a. farmer's wife, to beat, then tar and feather the naked form of Dorothy Orandon, on the state road near Myersvllle, a village 15 miles from here. The message to Justice Brust came over the telephone as he was engaged in his work as editor of the daily paper here. He refused to make any comment on the Incident, but plainly shows he is much worried. County Sheriff I. W. AJBaugh was called in conference by Justice Brust and efforts are being made to disclose the Identity of the man who made the Ku Klux Klan threat.
