!)eath of Father No Respite From Prison for Loeb o Effort to Be Made to Ob tain Boy's Release for Funeral; Family Denies Shock Killed Parent. Chicago. Oct. 28.— No respite from e life of monotony behind the gray one walls of Joliet penitentiary will me to Richard A. Loeb, through « death of his father, Albert H. oeb. This became known today when icob M. Loeb, venerable uncle of e youthful slayer of Robert Franks ■ought the news of the death to Ichard in the solitude of the guard om at Joliet. After advising Richard, Jacob Loeb Id Warden Whitman that no re lests that the boy be permitted to tend the funeral services would be ade. Definite plans for the funeral had •t been completed today but it was :pected the services would be strict private, only close friends and im edlate members of the family being emitted to attend. In Failing Health. Loeb’s death did not come as a rprise to members of Ids family his associates. He had been in ecarlous health for two years, nnd is condition had been augmented verai months ago by another nil ent diagnosed as angina pectoris. Three days before his son confessed tile kidnaping and slaying of Robert Franks Loeb was taken seriously ill and was confined to his bed. He was not advised of the confession for several days. The last time he saw his son was when Richard came into his bedroom to advise him that he was going downtown with a police man. “I’m going downtown with a po i liveman for a little while, dad,” lie told his parent. “They want to ques tion me about this Franks ease. I’ll he back in two or three hours.” His father never saw him again. Ailment Returns. During I ho trying days of his son's Ilia) the father was recuperating at his Charleviox (Mich.) estate and he gained strength so rapidly there that he returned to town shortly after the verdict. Here, however, his old ail ment returned and he rapidly became worse a week ago and attending physicians knew that the end was not far distant. Today members of the family and l ph yslcians who attended Loeb denied | tbat his son's connection with the Franks ease had hastened Loeb's death. Loeb was born in Rockford, 1 III., February 18, 1868. Coolidge-Dawes Club I* Organized at Cumberland Atlantic, la., Oct. 28.—Howard Clark.

M I Girl’s Losing Battle Against Drug Habit With Life at Stake, Revealed in Diary San Mateo, Cal., Oct. 28.—On a table in the room in which Frank Chambers, ,ir., had been sitting just be fore he ended his life last Friday night, because of heartbreak over the suicide two weeks before of his 17-year-old daughter, Marilouise, was found a remark able diary kept by the young girl. It was close by Chambers’ favorite chair, as though he were accustomed to read from it constantly when alone. It is a story of innocence and worldliness, of millions and poverty. It is an account of affection, love, hate and disillusionment. It contains a record of grief, discontent and wreck, such as no father could read without anguish. Marilouise’s father said his daughter learned to take narcotics in an exclusive girl’s school before she was out of her ’teens. That was before Chambers and his first wife, Louise, or “Woozey,” as her daughter called her, were divorced. As a result of her alleged addic- ( tion to drugs, Marilouise Cham bers was caught in an undertow of despair. Maddened by the specter of despondency, the girl Is believed by the authorities to have shot a bullet into her brain to reach out for and secure the peace that, for her, death alone could give. Here is part of a letter she wrote to her father, whom she called "Frank,” written from the Crows’ Nest, Bronxville, N. Y., the elder Chambers’ home: "Now It is decided. The family is going to send me abroad. I am so unhappy about you. You and Bea (Chambers' second wife), I am nearly crazy." Excerpts Front Diary Show Bitter Struggle. Excerpts from the diary, which was begun January 1, 3924, and ended February 9, 3924, follow: Jan’y 1, 1924.—"Church in A. M. . . . This year is going to be a suc cess. I am finding God.” Jan'y 2.—“I saw the ‘Covered Wagon.' (A moving picture film), and it made me feel depressed and realize how much I will always re gret the foolish step Out West. AVhich has almost ruined my life.” Jan'y 3.—"Feel terribly about going to leave Frank. I would give up everything and try again to help, but he says no. I will to - other people by my expe riences. Lite is a funny game all must play. Quiet evening, cards and packing.” Jan'y 4.—"AVoozey (her mother) at dock. Farewell party. She needs help no matter what mis takes have been made. The only think for me to do is to leave the U. S. for a year or so—but I am leaving everything. Woozey was on the dock by the ship. She was so pathetic. She was very sweet and I want to help her to be happy. The family (meaning Chambers) wouldn’t even speak to her.” Jan’y 5.—"Not a bit sick. In a year I hope this terrible business will be over. I am trying to forget, but it is hard—I have forgiven.” Frays for Assistance in Drug Battle. Then the girt prays for assist ance in her fight against her drug craving. Jan'y fi—“I wlresless message. Very rough all day. I ask help not to follow the path on which I have come so far. It is nothing short of hell.” Jan’y i—"Two sets of deck ten nis. I feel as useless and small as one can when I think of my past and the pretense of the present. . .” Next is a revelation of how Marilouise at the tender age of 15 lost all the illusions of childhood and "started on the path” that led to her self-destruction. Jan'y 8—"Frank's birthday. The mistakes—the regrets. AVhat 1 lost in Portland and Tacoma. It is lost forever. I didn't understand, and now it is too late to get it back.” Jan'y 9—"Letter from Mammy given me by Mary G. (her com panion on the voyage). I am letting myself think too much.” Jan’y 10—"Am beginning to take notice of things. The sea and sky seem very large and kind.” Jan’y 11—“Regular day. Special ly reminded of my happy times at Featherstone, four years ago.” “Nothing to Hold Onto," Plaint of Loneliness. Jan’y 12—"Madeira. Lonely day at Funehat.

Jan'y 13—"Having ups and downs which Is a good sign. Miss Woozey." Jan'y 14—"Gibraltar, x x x x x x wire from Frank. Life is so hard I hate it. 1 wish I could go away from everything and have a little peace of mind.” Jan'y 13—“I have decided I am a fool. I can control my emotions, yet I don't control my thoughts." Marilouise next describes the wild life "out west" previously referred to in the diary, showing affairs with boys when hardly 15. Jan’y 16—“Algiers. Lovely day. Reminded me of the terrible life I led out west with Jack Amil and Harry. It didn't pay and it's hard to pull hack.” Jan'y 17—“x x x x x too depressed to da anything." The beglning of the end is shown in th9 next entry. Evidently the craving for drugs is growing too strong for her youthful constitu tion. Jan'y lit—“Bay of Naples. Must conquer the N. G.

It is getting the best of me.” Jan'y 20—"x x x x down and out.” Jan'y II—"Straits of Messina, x x x x x the more I think things out and reason alone and keep away from people, the better off I am." Longs for United States on Streets of Athens. Jan’y 22.—"Athens. Would give anything If I hadn't stopped work and come on this trip—want to go back to the IT. S.” Jan'y 23.—"Athens. ... I wish I were dead. I am miserable. I hato all this. I want to settle and go back to work.” Jan'y 24—*'. . . I am terribly un happy. . . ." Then into the cradle of Chris tianity—to Nazareth, where Christ was born, went Marilouise Cham bers, feeling gay—from whisky. The diary shows she is beginning to slip: Jan’y 25.—"Trip to Nazareth. Have had an unusually large drink of Scotch; therefore feel fine. . . Jan’y 26.—“Alexandria, Egypt. Never have felt quite so low and blue.” Jan’y 27.—"Church on board S. S. Lotus. ... 1 want to go back to the U. S. Yet everything is in such a mess I don’t dare.” Jan’y 28.—"Woozey’s birthday. Trip to Desert and Tombs in P. M. Thought of Woozey, as it is her birthday. We are a good bit alike and should be pals and will be soon.” Jan'y 29.—“Want terribly to get started in one definite thing. I was happiest when I was going stenographic work.” Jan'y 30—“Woozey was on my mind all day." Last Intimate Entry Written at Cairo. The last intimate entry In Marl louise's diary is dated February 9, when she notes her arrival in Cairo. For several weeks after this the girl refused to place Intimate heart secrets In w-rltlng. That she had lost her fight the day In Cairo on which her intimate entries end Is evidenced by a letter written months later by Mrs. Frank Cham bers, sr., to her son, Frank Cham ber's Jr., Marllouise's father. In this letter Chamber's mother tells how she learned Marllouise's com panion had trouble with the girl In Cairo on account of liquor. I Coolidge Plans M le on Basis of Win Tuesday President Expresses Confi dence as Campaign Draws to Close; Will Vote hy Mail. Washington, Oct. "8. — President Coolidge predicted his own election today. With tile campaign drawing to a close, and the decision at the polls but a week away, Mr. Coolidge drop ped some of the usual reserve that has characterized his utterances anent the presidential race, and told callers at the White House that he fully expected to bo there four more yea rs. Always before, the president has characterized the reports of the re I publican manager as "encouraging." He has seldom talked about his own election publicly or to newspaper cor respondents. hut in the usual press conference today, it was evident that he considered the race already over. He smilingly assured questioners that all his personal plans are being laid on the basis of his succeeding himself March 4. next. Makes Position Clear. Sir. Coolidge further considers, he told Inquirers, that he has stated his position adequately on every out standing question at issue In this campaign. He has made upward of four dozen speeches and has written innumerable letters and statements since the campaign got under way and these, he thinks, fully cover his altitude on public questions. In any event, inquirers of tlie presidential at titude on specific matters were re ferred today to these speeches and papers. He made no direct reference to the various "charges" of evasion against him by his opponents, John W. Davis and Senator Robert M. Da Follette, but ho conveyed the impression these will ho allowed to go unanswered so far as ho personally Is concerned. So many of these "charges" are flying about in the closing days of the cam paign. lie told inquirers, that It would not ho feasible or possible to answer specifically. Few Speeches Remain. Only a few minor speeches are on Mr. Coolidge's program for the week remaining of the campaign. One of these will he at the White House to morrow to a group of New York ad vertising men whose pilgrimage to the "back porch” of the White House was postponed Monday because of the death of Secretary Wallace. The president expects to vote In Northampton by mall, although the decision on this point is not yet defi nitely settled. It Is understood Mr. Coolidge was Influenced against a trip to Northampton In person by the desire to receive the returns next Tuesday night in the White House. GIRL DENIES SHE GOT $50 “BALM” Sarah Snitzer, 3021 Cass street, and Joseph Parks, clerk at the Sanford hotel, disagreed when they agreed to disagree, according to Miss Snitzer. Her fiance was too proud to come to her house to regain two rings, valued at $800, return of which he demanded when they broke their en gagement. If lie wouldn't come for them, Miss Snitzer said, he could wait until she got time to' return them. That was not soon enough for Parks and he filed a replevin suit. The rings were returned last Wednes day and the suit withdrawn. Miss Snitzer denies that sha received $50 for the return of the circlets.

"A friend of mine who is in a peck of trouble," replied Farmer Brown’s Boy. Then he showred his mother Bobby Coon s swollen leg with the can fast to it. % "Oh!" cried Mrs. Brown. “Poor little chap! This is really dreadful! We must get that can off right away.” "That's what I brought him up here for." replied Farmer Brown's Boy. "I couldn't get it off down in the woods where I found him. That can has to be cut open. I guess you'll have to hold Bobby while I use the can opener. Mrs Brown looked a little bit doubtful. "Will he bite?" she asked. "Not if you keep his head wrapped up so that he can't," replied Farmer Brown's Boy, as he brought the can opener. “I'll tie his hind legs to gether with a handkerchief so he can't kick and scratch." So Farmer Brown's Boy tied Bobby Coon's hind legs together. Then he Wrapped a heavy cloth around Bob by’s bead in such a way that Bobby could breathe but couldn't bite. Mrs. Brown held Bobby and Farmer Brown's Boy went to work with the can opener to cut that tin can. Tie did his best to be careful. But that leg was so swollen and tender that merely touching it made it ache. At last Farmer Brown’s Boy got the can off. Bobby didn't even know it. I'ou see that leg ached so and was so swollen that he didn't know when it was free from the can. Of course lie couldn’t see because his head was I wrapped up. Then Farmer Brown's Boy carefully bathed that swollen | leg, put healing ointment on it, and hound it, with a strip of clean cloth. Then he took Bobby Coon out to the barn and jut him in the pen lie had built for Fnc' Billy Possum, but which Fnc' Billy had never seen the inside of it. (<’onvrlKht. 1324.)
