BOY SLAYERS TO
BASE FIGHT ON
INSANITY PLEA
New Phrase Coined to De
scribe Defendants in
Franks Murder
Universal Service
Chicago. June 2.—"Not guilty by
reason of insanity.”
That will be (tie defense of Nathan
K. Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb
when placed on trial for kidnaping
and slaying Robert Franks, 13 year
old school boy.
The trial is expected to he the
most sensational In the annals of
the country, according to attorneys
who were lining up for defense and
prosecution.
The defendants are sons of million
aires. It was estimated the combined
fortunes that will be available In
the attempt to sav* the youths from
the gallows aggregate $15,000,000.
A new phrase already has been
coined to described the mental state
of the defendants—It Is “dementia
jazzmania.” It is an offshoot of “de
mentia Americana” which held public
attention a generation ago when
Harry K. Thaw was on trial for
the slaying of Stanford White. Thaw
was found not guilty of murder be
cause of insanity.
State Preparing Case
The new type of insanity, according
to alienists, exaggera*es thyy- ego of
the Individual until he Imagines he
is mentally what Jack Dempsey is
physically—a sort of super-self.
The state Is already preparing to
combat the insanity plea. State's
Attorney Crowe has had three well
known alienists observing the youths
—Dr. Hugh T. Patrick, Dr. William
O. Krohn, and Dr. Archibald Church.
These alienists are said to be. as a
result of observations already made,
prepared to swear that tire youths are
sane and that they were sane at the
time the crime was committed.
Leopold and Loeb were arraigned
before Chief Justice Caverly In cri
minal court Monday on writs of
habeas corpus secured by Clarence
S. Darrow, their attorney. Justice
Caverly ordered the defendants sur
rendered by Chief of Police Collins,
in whose custody they have been,
to the custody of Sheriff Hoffman,
of Cook county to be held without
ball, pending grand Jury Investiga
tion
Hearing Today
The case will be laid before the
grand Jury Tuesday, according to
Stato's Attorney Crowe. He pre
dicted that indictments would be re
turned tomorrow.
The defendants will then he ar
raigned on the Indictments and a
date set for their trial. An early
trial was predicted.
Leopold and Loeb were lodged in
the county jail where their attorneys,
relatives and other Interested per
sons might confer with them without

Rembrandt Canvasses Prove
Unpopular at French Gov

Universal Service
Paris, June 2.—Eighty-seven paint- |
tings, forming the collection of the
dealer Derldder, sold Monday by the
French government for the benefit of
the reparations fund, brought 11.69*.

the record for a one day auction by
Doucet In 1912.
One extraordinary feature of the
sale was the apparent unpopularity
of Rembrandt pictures. The “Flora”
acquired by Deridder for 1.200,000
francs in 1914, brought only 300,000,
while the "Portrait of a Man” fetch
ed 710,000 francs or 9,000 less than
the official estimate.
Honors for the day went to the
"Portrait of a Young Woman” by

accused youths, but Judge Caverly
allowed their recommitment on writs

case until June 6, meantime permit
ting the prisoners to be held In the

Inquest Disappointment
The scene at tb* Furth undertak
ing parlors where the inquest was to
have been held provided only a keen
disappointment for the throng which
had gathered, hoping to hear more
of the gruesome details of the death
of young Franks.
The confessed slavers arrived In a
police car, both seeming unconscious
of their predicament and smoking
iaslly at clgarete. They appeared
w'hoily disinterested in the proceed
ings.
Leopold's father and his brother,
Michael were on hand, as was Jacob
Loeb, former president of the school
board. Samuel Ettelson. friend of
three families, stood by the hereaved
father of the murdered boy.
State's Attorney Crowe with two
assistants arrived early and conferred
with the coroner. The Inquest was
formally opened arid as suddenly
came to a close, while the crowd
gasped In disappointment. Crowe

SENATE PUTS
0. K. ON CHILD
LABOR MEASURE
Amendment Passes By 61
To 23—Now Up to
States
Universal Service
Washington, June 2. —The Senate
Monday night, passing the child labor
amendment to the constitution, ans
wered the plea of America’s children
to be spared from enforced grinding
toll In mills and factories before they
have reached the age of 18 years.
The vote on the amendment was 61
to 23.
The amendment having passed the
House, will now be submitted to the
states for ratification. Supporters of
the amendment hope to have It
ratified by three-fourths of the
states when their legislatures con
vene in January.
This would make It an effective
part of the constitution, and would
make it possible for congress to enact
a law restricting or prohibiting child
labor which will stand the test of
the supreme court. The court, upon
three occasions, has decided congress
now does not possess that power.
Vote End Long Fight
The long fight for adoption of the
amendment ended when the vote was
taken ut 9:46 o’clock after an all day
debate in which opponents of the
measure did their utmost to bring
about its defeat- Their principal
arguments were that It was an inter
ference with the Inherent rights of
the states, and that enactment of
the law would prevent farmers from
employing their own children to work
upon the farms at harvest time when
the necessities for labor were exceed
ingly great.
This argument, put forward In a
belated effort to catch the votes of
senators from the agricultural sec
tions. failed of Its purpose, most of
the senators from the farm belt be
ing supporters of the amendment.
Reed Proposal Beaten
Refore the final vote was taken
Senator Reed of Missouri, one of the
strongest opponents of the amend
ment, sought to have it altered so
that labor employed in horticultural
or agricultural pursuit would be
exempt. Tills was defeated, 32 to 48.
A number of other amendments de
signed by opponents of the measure
to delay action so that a new vqte
by the House before adjournment
would not be possible, were rejected
in turn.
In accepting the child labor bill,
tlie Senate acted on the warning of
Senator Uenroot that all amendments
should be voted down to preclude the
possibility of sending the bill to con
ference and killing it for the session.
In order to act with dispatch the
Senate barred discussion, and pro
ceeded to knock out eight amend
ments offered by foes of the legisla
tion in an eleventh hour attempt to
block it.

COOUDGE SIGNS
TAX BILL, Birr
FEARS FOR O.S.
Charges Measure Based on
Politics—Pledges Aid
For Reform
Universal Service
Washington, June 2. — President
Coolldge signed the 1924 revenue bill
at 4 o’clock Monday afternoon.
Immediately thereafter he issued a
statement citing Its manifold and
grave defects, and expressing fear
for the nation’s future economic wel
fare If another congress does not
supplant that which is obviously a
patchwork piece of legislation.
The president attacked the meas
ure, constituting a distortion of the
Mellon schedules, from numerous
standpoints. His views are concur
red in by the secretary of the treas
ury, who drew the bill originally
submitted to the House and Senate.
The president made It clear that
he affixed his signature only because
of the Immediate urgency of tax
reduction, the glaring faults of the
heretofore existing law and the fer
vent hope that the new one will not
live long at the hands of the new
congress.
Political Basis
It was directly charged by the
president that the bill was tacked
together not on an economic, but a
political basis.
The president promised to bend
nil his energies next December to
bring about genuine tax reform.
In an aggressive style reminiscent
of Theodore Roosevelt's best papers.
President Coolldge delivered a biting
attack upon the various sections of
the bill, and flayed congress for dis
carding the Mellon plan.
Failure to reduce surtaxes to less
than 40 per cent., he asserted, means
that ''Initiative and new enterprise
are throttled."
The enormously high federal and
state tax of 40 per cent., added to
the gift taxes and inheritance taxes
levied by the states, amounts to a
"practical confiscation of capital,"
the president declared.
Says Rights Sacrificed
“The provision for publicity of in
come tax returns,” he continued,
•‘sacrifices, without reason. the
rights of the taxpayer,” and he be
lieves It will "result in the conceal
ment of millions of dollars of tn
came which would otherwise be re
ported.”
Among his sword thrusts were
these: . . .._
‘‘The bill represents tax reduction,
not tax reform.”
“If we are to maintain the Ameri
can standard of living nnd hold our
place in the world, we must adjust
our taxes upon an economic and not
a political basis.”
' “A correction of its (the bill s)
defects may be left to the next ses
sion of congress. I trust a bill less
political and more truly ec®n0™^
may be passed at that time. To that
end I shall bend all my energies.
Harmful to Country
‘‘As a permanent expression oi
government fiscal policy this bill con
tains provisions which, In my opln
Ion are not only unsatisfactory but
are harmful to the future of this
country." . , ,
"We are presented with a plan, or
taxation which punishes energy and
Initiative and must decrease reve
nue.” . . . .
"It Is proposed to take capital and
to use It in the ordinary oporatlng
expenses of government. We are
thus to live not on Income but on
principal and to that extent we ex
haust our resources and prevent the
Industrial expansion essential to our
increasing population and our high
standard of living.”
"By far the greater part of tne
loss of revenue which will be brought
about by the bill Is In income taxes.
“Of the 110,000,000 people in this
country, less than 4,000.000 pay In
come taxes directly. The remaining
106.000,000 who pay no such direct
taxes are given n« relief from what
they pay indirectly in everything
they buy. They, too, must have tax
reduction. These conditions the pre
sent bill does pot meet."_
