GUARD COURT ON
JUDGMENT DAY1
Slayers Of Robert Franks
Nervous As Time For
Sentence Approaches
Universal Service.
Chicago, Sept. I.—Plans were be
Ing carefully made by the authorities ,
to prevent a demonstration when
Judge John R. Caverly passes sen
tence on Nathan Leopold and Richard
Loeb Wednesday morning.
Another day and the slayers of .
Robert Franks, the school boy, will
know their fate. Leopold and Loeb
are nervous. Tho words the judge
will speak Wednesday morning will
spell life or death for them.
A strong detail, of deputies and
police will be thrown about the
criminal building when Judge Caver
ly opens court.
"Only the defendants, the lawyers,
relatives of the youths and represen
tatives of the press will bo admitted
to the court room,” Judge Caverly
announced. During the. day he con
ferred with Chief of Police Collins
regarding measures to protect the
defendante and keep the crowd In
restraint.
Many Threats Received.
u ne unusual precautions are part
ly due to the threats that have been
received since the wealthy college
youths w'ere arrested for the crime
last May. Judge Caverly has been
threatened wilh death If he does not
pronounce the death sentence, and
he has been threatened with death if
he does not show mercy and spare
their lives.
Thousands of letters have been re
ceived by Judge Caverly. He did not
road all of them. Of those he read, 80
per cent, of the writers urged that the
slayers be spared.
Judge Caverly has given no intima
tion of what the sentence will he but
it is not expected the death penalty
will be imposed.
Leopold and Loeb pleaded guilty to
murder in the first degree and to
kidnaping. Under the laws of Illinois
both crimes are punishable by death.
Try to Keep Courage.
The youthful slayers tried to keep
up their courage Monday, hut it was
hard—it became more difficult as
each minute took Its flight and
brought them nearer to the zero hour.
“Pm not worried." boasted Loeb.
"Why should I worry? Would that
change the decision of the judge? I
don’t look nervous do I?"
It appeared certain that. Judge
Caverly would sentence the slayers
Wednesday morning but legal author
ities pointed out that Mr. Harrow
might spring another surprise. If he
concludes Judge Caverly is about to
pronounce the death sentence he
might enter a motion to withdraw the
plea of guilty and demand a jury
trial. Judge Caverly might have to
think that over awhile before pass
ing on it. It would bring up a final
legal point.

AMERICANS AND BRITISH TO
CLASH ON POLO FIELD TOD A Y;
YANKS FAVORITES BY 8 TO 1
BY W. S. FARNSWORTH,
Universal Service Correspondent.
New York, Sept. 8.—Down at the
spacious Meadowbrook field Tues
day afternoon the polo stars of this
country will meet England's best
players in a duel for the Internation
al trophy. Society will be well rep
resented and his royal highness,
Prince Edward, will be present to
cheer hl3 valiant countrymen.
It Is our opinion that the prince
will nroot in vain, for everything In
dicates that Uncle Sam's lads will
romp off with the series. The cup
defenders now rule favorites at X to
I, with none caring to back the
chances of the British challengers.
A hard blow was dealt to the
visitors when Louis Laccy, captain
of the British four,- announced Mon
day that it would be Impossible for
him to participate in the games. The
leader of the English team Injured
his shoulder before he came here,
but thought It would be In proper
shape for these games. A few days
after he landed Lacey was thrown.
That irritated the Injury, but It was
not until Monday that lie learned It
would be Impossible fot^ him to
compete.
\\ iih Lacey out of the lineup, a
new shift was arranged. Major T.
W. Kirkwood will bo at No. 1, Phil
ipps Hornby No. 2, Major Hurndall,
No. 8, and Atkinson at back. Major
Hurndall, who retired in favor of
Lacey as captain, will resume his
former position on the field.
Both teams rested Monday so as
not to run the slightest risk of suf
fering further injuries. They fin
ished their training Sunday with in
formal short drills. The game Tues"
day marks the first of three matches
which will be played, even If one
side captures the first two and the
trophy. The second match will be
played Saturday, weather permit
ting, and the third and final contest
a week from Wednesday.

DESERT PRINCE
Wales Forced To Back Seat
For Fliers—Injured In
Polo Game
Syosset, L. I.. Sept. H.—The Prince
•f Wales suffered the first accident
of his American visit Monday.
In the sixth chukker of a hotly
contested polo match on the John
8. Phipps estate, a flying particle of
mud, cast by n pony, lodged In the
right eye of the prince.
Wales clapped his hand to his
eye. He was evidently in pain. The
game was at once halted The
•core then stood seven to six In
favor of the ‘‘white” team, upon
which Wales played No. 2.
Wales rode to the «ide lines,
jumped into his machine and was
driven rapidly to the Burden hum*
In Syosset. The eye still pained him
and largely a* a matter of precau
tion, a physician wss called.
Dr. Meodwyn Leale of Glen Cove
removed the particle of mud and
bathed the eye In antiseptic solu
tion.
The prince made light of his slight
accident and at Hi o’clock motored to
the F. Ambrose Clarke estate where
he dined and danced until a late
hour.

In Ihe afternoon Wales, as «
humble spectator, greeted the world

ORANGE CITY, IA., MAN
IS BEING 80UGHT.
Sioux Falls. S. D., Sept. 6. (Special)
—Relatives of A. Y. Van de Stoep,
of Orange City, la., who was laid
seen at that place on August 29, have
started a search for him and are
seeking a trace of the man in Iowa
and South Dakota towns. According
to word received here hy the police
department no reason Is known why
the man should have disappeared. He
Is described us being 65 years old,
five feet six Inches In height, weighs
150 pounds, Is stooped shouldered and
has blue eyog. He Is a farmer.
Windsor raise his hat timidly and
pay obeisance to men of action.
Wales was pushed far, far into
the background and he seemed to
understand. lie arrived hulf an hour
before tlie filers. In familiar gray
fedora hat, gray blue suit, brown
suede shoes, he sat in a box with
his party that included gentlemen
of his household, the British am
bassador, Sir Ksme and I-ady How
, ard, Mrs. diaries Dana Gibson, Mrs.
Henry Rogers Wlnthrop and a dozen
i others.
The crowds of thousands who bad
been watching the Bky, strangoly
enough not even the fiappers in the
1 audience had eyes for Wales.
There was a whirr of engines, a
final zoom and ihe men who have
circled the earth made perfect land
ings on the turf of Mltchel Field.
There was a swirl in the ranks of
the crowd, a great cheer, a rush of
cameramen, and In a few minutes
six grease laden men stood on the
platform directly in front of the
prince's box.
The filers were Introduced to him.
As Wade, Nelson, Smith and the
others filed past, Wales raised hie
hat and gripped each man’s hand
with n firmness he never displayed
towards a statesman or a lord.
When the prince led hi* party
away scarcely any of the great crowd
followed 1dm. He drove to *ho polo
greunds on the Phipps estate and
half an hour later was engaged in
a stiff g«me.
Wales continued his "late to bed*
habits (Monda). He hud danced un
til dawn at the home of Mrs. J.
Henry Alexander in Glenheud.
Miller and Farrell of the Lido club
were hIso present and Wales enjoyed
their exhibition dancing. Mrs. Al
exander had scoured the island for
the best society girl dancers, nnd
the prince was delighted with their
terpischorean skill.

MILLIONS GREET
YANK FLIERS AT
NEW YORK CITY
Globe Circlers Land At Mil
chell Field After Flight
From Boston
BY DAMON RUNYON,
Universal Service Correspondent.
New York, Sept. 8.—'\Vny up
yonder on the eyelid of a white
cloud winking in the September sun,
spun a myriad of dark snecks, at
times so small they were like the
black spots of dizziness.
Far hclow these Rpccks, on roofs
and sidewalks and paved streets, a
vnsi community was seized with a
violent attack of “rubbernecking"
Monday afternoon.
Millions of men and women and
11;tie children stood In the following
general posture: Head thrown back,
eyes bulging, mouths open, trans
fixed. watching the 'round the world
fliers—"Smltty" and his aerial pals
—with a big escort of planes swing
above the big town.
“Smltty”—nn Informal way of ad
dressing Lieutenant. Lowell S.
Smith, commander of the American
army's globe glrdlors—rode In front
of his sky parade In the plane Chi
cago, Leslie Arnold, the Connecticut
Yankee, behind him in the mechan
ic's chair.
On one nine or "Smittys pmne
was the New Orleans, piloted by the
old master of the cloudlnnds, Krik
Nelson, with handsome .lack Hard
ing, “the flying sheik" at his elbow.
New York “Promieed Land"
Knowing Harding, 1 have no doubt
ho was peering eagerly over the side
of the New Orleans, his eves gleam
ing with anticipation, because to
Harding the big town Is the pro
mised land—the land of plenty of
lively music, and wlutt goes with It.
On the other side of tho Chicago,
nose-lo-nose with tho New Orleans
wan the plane Boston II, in which
Leigh Wade and Hank Ogden, tho
Michigan Mississippi combination
resumed the flight at Plctou bay, In
Nova Scotia, after a lapse of time
and distance because of the loss of
tlielr original plane off the Karoo
lsla ml*.
Smith, Nelson. Arnold and Hard
ing are tho four men of tho original
eight that, started the round-the
world flight in April from California
who have gone the whole route.
Major Martin, the original leader,
fell In Alaska. Wade and Ogden
lasted beyond the Orkney islands
when bad luck swamped them, but
were given another piano and or
dered to rejoin the flight at Plctou.
Flew From Boston
The round-the-worldora flew down
from Boston Monday landing at
Mltohel field to he engulfed In cere
monial welcome after touring the
air lanes above Manhattan Island
and the greater city in general.
Listening to the voice of welcome
of the big town, this writer was re
minded of the many anxious hours
of watching for those little specks
In the sky across the watery wastes
of the far north Just a few weeks
ago.
We on the cruiser Richmond, the
receiving ship for the fliers at near
ly every legend of the different hops,
would stand peering In the direction
from which we knew they must
come, knowing their perils from fog
and accident, every minute they
were in the air passing on leaden,
feet, every slight delay giving rlsd
to the gravest apprehension until
finally the welcome word passed
front lhe lookout behind the big1
telescope on the bridge:
“Here they come!"
Heard Same Expression
You heard the same expression in
the streets of the big town nlon^
about 3 o’clock when, ns If by given
signal, every face was upturned and
the big town began belching noise.
The waters of tho harbor seemed to
gather a terrific roll under the
hundred* of craft anchored therd
from the nolso of their sirens call
ing to the fliers, like tethered decoy
geese crying to their free fellows ol
the. air.
They flew In the V-shaped
formation familiar to us whd
watched for them In Hcapa Flow,
Iceland, off the dreary coast oi
Greenland, at Labrador and alons
the. bitter wastes of water in be
tween, and their escort which wo?
made up of many planes was scat
tered emt behind them, like the tai
smoke of the world girdlers.
They seemed to be moving very
slowly as if to give everybody t
good look si. them before they
shoved off into the haze towarc
Long Island und their landing place
To the writer the world planci
looked strange because they wen
wearing wheels instead of the pon
toons that hung beneath them liki
suckling pigs when they travelec
through the north.
These pontoons, which float »h<
planes on water, wore replaced by
the landing gear at Boston. Tin
filers have no more water Jumps, fo
which they ore duly thankful.
••You don’t know how lonesome 1
Is up there in the sky with an oceai
beneath you," remarked "Smltty" *
the writer one day.
