San Francisco, Oct. 20—Battling its | way through fog, rain and a stiff | southwest wind along the northern California coast which at times reach ed a velocity of 60 miles and hour and for a while reduced its speed to 10 , miles and hour, the navy dirigible Shenandoah, enroute from Seattle to Lakehurst, N. J., via San Diego, passed over Sen Francisco at 3 j o’clock Monda^afternoon. The Shenandoah was scheduled to have passed over this city between 7 and 8 o’clock Monday morning. Daylight found thousands of people at the ocean beach and on the hill tops awaiting the giant aircraft Then came the news that the Shenan doah had run into a storm south of Eureka and was valiantly fighting its way southward. Buffeted about like a cork on stor my seas, the Shenandoah came out of the storm victorious and ns it passed slowly over San Francisco rays of sunshine pierced the threatening j clouds overhead and smiled a wel come upon the silvery bag. The Shenandoah was sighted ns it nosed Its way out of a fogbank off Point Reyes. A few moments later it was greeted by a fleet of army airplanes and escorted through the Golden Gate. Owing to a breakdown of its gas engine, the Shenandoah was unable lo radio greetings to San Francisco and the thousands of people who, with upturned faces watched, as It slowly circled the city and then head ed southward.

FRANK MILLIONS GUARD SLAYERS Victim’s Father Takes Steps To Prevent Freedom of Leopold, Loeb | Chicago, Oct. 20. (I. N. S.)—An other guard—silent, deathless and powerful—was placed today at the narrow cell doors behind which Na than F. Leopold, Jr., and Richard A. Loeb must spend "life and 99 years” for the murder of little Bobby Franks. It was the millions of Jacob Franks, bowed and broken father of the Vic tim now dedicated to the single pur pose that the great steel doors ot Joliet state penitentiary never shall open for the two young collegians who sought their thrill by taking the life of his boy. | ’ And Franks is aging, aging rapidly since his son’s death which brought forward the harrowing days of the trial. He foresees the day when after his death a lenient governor, a shrewd lawyer and a public indiffer ent through the lapse of time, might combine to restore freedom to "Babe” and "Dicky.” During his life, he feels he can prevent this and he today sought a method by which eternal vigilance of the slayers might be pro longed when he is gone, i To this end he announced plans for the creation of a trust fund, to be set aside legally by his will and held In reserve for use only to combat any and all legal efforts to release the two slayers. I “Mrs. Franks did not want the two boys to hang,” he said, discussing his plan today, “and for that reason I did not take as active a part in their trial as I otherwise would have. But the murderers must never gain their freedom. I do not know how long I am going to live. During my life I shall fight every move that might be made to defeat justice and I am plnn • ning to create a trust fund so that after my death, defeat shall continue to meet the designs of the Loebs and Leopolds.” Traders of Berlin Exchange Strike Against High Tax Outraged Traders Call Mass Meeting to Protest New BY KARL H. VON WIEGAND, Universal Service Correspondent. Berlin, Oct. 20.—The Berlin stock exchange had to shut down Monday because of a strike of bankers, brokers and traders In protest against a high stamp tax levied on all stock exchange transactions. The feeling against this tax ran so high that traders suspended busi ness and called an Impromptu mass meeting which Jammed the floor ot the stock exchange. Bepresentatives of the governing hoard of the ex change and of big banks and brokers, and even employes, addressed the meeting and charged that the tax was stifling business, strangling ex change, keeping foreign capital away, and tempting Germans to do their business through foreign exchanges. Therefore, they argued, the tax is a grave danger to the country gen erally. "It is necessary to revive specula tion on German stock exchanges,” said Director Wassermann of the Deutsehebank representing the bank ing interests. In comparing the riotous activity during the inflation period when stock quotations Jumped several hun dred per cent, in a day, when the whole nation speculated with the worthless paper money, and when young bank clerks became money kings over night, the German stock exchanges have been rather dull lately.

Universal Service Correspondent. Omaha, Oet. 20.—Presenting In de tail his position on the transporta tion question hero Monday night, Senator Robert M. LaKollette de clared: “The immediate Issue is the repeal of the Esch-Cummlns railroad law.” For this statute he would substi tute "a scientific method for the ad justment of freight and passenger rates and a proven method for the peaceable adjustment of Industrial disputes on the railroads.” The progressive candidate for pres ident insisted that government own ership of railroads Is not an Immedi ate issue, although he frankly regards It as Inevitable. He sees In govern ment ownership the final solution of Ihe transportation problem and Is concerned with the form It should take. He said: “The progressives do not propose nor do they intend to undertake any ill-considered experiments In public ownership of railroads or along any other line. When we are ready to move forward in this direction, we shall obtain the services of the best transportation experts and the best legal and financial counsel available. Every detail of the plans will he worked out by practical men, and the matter will be laid before the country In the form of reports, so that any defects may be exposed. Protect Investments "The greatest care will he exercised to insure freedom from the evils of bureaucratic control. The railroads can be d'vorced entirely from politics, so that changes in administration will make no difference in their operation and control.” If, and when, the roads are taken over by the government, he pledged, “it will be done under conditions that will protect every dollar honestly In vested in railroad property." Meantime, the progressive standard bearer declared for ' the fixing of rates upon the basis of actual cost of service, plus a fair profit on every dollar actually and prudently in vested in railroad property.” To provide for the proposed rate making policy, LaKollette advocated immediate repeal of Section 15-A, the rate-making provisions, of the Esch-Cummlns act. He also prom ised abolishment of the railway labor board and enactment of the Howelt Baxkley bill for mediation in the settlement of railroad labor contro versies. Says Act Must Go In addition, Senator LaKollette added that the entire Esch-Cummlns act "must be repealed." It was "In reality written,” he charged, “by the railroads and for the railroads.” LaFollette also accused the rail road Interests of engaging in "a des perate effort to defeat the progres sive ticket and to elect either Presi dent Coolidge or Mr. Davis,” in order “to preserve the special privileges of the Esch-Cummlns law during tlie next administration.” He produced an order issued by II. E. Alden, su perintendent of the Dakota division of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railway, to “all agents, round house foremen and section foremen. ’ This order, dated October 6, stated “it is necessary to elect a president who will be fair to not only the em ployes, but the railroads as well,” and added it was “desired that we put forth our efforts to support either Mr. Coolklge or Mr. Davis.” Attacks Commerce Body The Interestate commerce commis sion came in for severe denunciation at the hands of the candidate. The commission, he said, in adopting a policy of valuing the rnilrouds loi rate-making purposes on the basis of what it would cost to rebuild them, instead of ascertaining the “actual prudent investment" In them, had defeated the primary purpose of the valuation act. On the commission’s basis, ho said, the railroads are con tending for the establishment of a valuation 1 $.000,000,000 in excess of actual prudent investment, which would mean $550,000,000 a year in in creased lates. The senator also went Into great detail to show that instead of fixing a level of rates that would bring to the roads a return of 5 3-4 per cent, on their capital, as claimed, it worked out that the return Is between IS and 17 per cent, on “the rea> in vestment.” In conclusion, the progressive can didate professed supreme confidence in the outcome of the election.
