growers to hold their crop and spread
the deliveries over a longer period
of time, thus conforming to the op
erations of the law of supply and de
mand.
Lincoln hankers and state officers
agree with Omahans as to the ad
visiblilty of marketing with caution.
Morehead Sees Price Rise.
"I certainly would advise every
farmer who can do no to hold at least
Mi per cent of his present wheat
crop,” said M. Weil, president of the
National Bank of Commerce, Lincoln.
“And the farmer who has old corn
in his crib should hold all of it. We
have two months yet in which to
learn whether we are going to have
a good corn crop. As good ns it can
possibly be it is going to be short,
with the danger of none of it being
good for seed. Old corn will certainly
not be less than it is now, and if our
corn crop is short or worthless as
seed, then the old crop will bring a
big price. The danger is In the specu
lative element. Some may be tempted
to hold on too long. But as a general
proposition, the farmer who can hold
on to his wheat for a while and then
sell it slowly, will make a good profit."
John H. Morehead, representative
in congress from the First Nebraska
district, believes that every assistance
should be extended to the farmer to
enable him to hold his wheat for a
while and not rush it to market at
once. He believes that In view of con
ditions the price of wheat and corn
will rise, especially corn. "The farm
ers should hold most of their wheat
for a while yet,” said Mr. Morehead,
“and then let go of it gradually. It
is the dumping from thresher to buy
er that depresses tho price.”
Pool Advises Holding On.
“I advise my farmer friends to hold
on to most of their wheat for a
while,” said Secretary of State Pool.
“I will have a little wheat, and I am
going to follow my own advice. I
helieve it would be a good thing for
the banks to extend all possible as
sistance In this matter.”
L. C. Chapin of the Central Na
tional bank, Lincoln, said he thought
supply and demand would regulate
the price despite all other efforts. He
wop id not commit himself further
than to say that It was human nature
always to want Just a little bit more
than the market offered. If the price
went up past the $1.50 mark it would
ho human nature to hold for $1.65,
and so on.
South Platte In Good Shape.
W. B. Kyons of the First National
hank, Lincoln, said the farmer who
had old corn in his crib was pretty
apt to be on easy street. But he said
it would be a good idea to hold on
to it at least for a couple of months.
”1 think it v. ould be wise for the
farmer who can, to hold at least a
goodly portion of his wheat,” said
Mr. Ryons. "I am not familiar with
conditions in the N^rth Platte coun
try, but in the South Platte country
our farmers are in pretty good shape,
despite all reports to the contrary.
The one or two in the community
v. ho have been foreclosed or crowded
too often have been taken as a sam
ple of the whole community. The
fact that the bank deposits today are
larger than they have been for years
ought to go a long ways towards re
futing the stories of distress and
bankruptcy. The farmer who can
hold his wheat a while certainly will
not lfise by It, and he may gain a lot.
A great deal depends on his Judgment
about the right time to sell. Spread
ing the wheat deliveries out over a
> longer period will certainly have the
effect of stabilizing the price."
. Sliuniway Doubtful.
"Every possible aid should be ex
tended to farmers who need aid to
mak$ it possible for them to hold their
wheat," said a prominent financier
who declined to permit tho use of his
nam?. "I am satisfied that wheat and
corn will command a much higher
price, especially wheat, if some way
can be devised to prevent its being
dumped on the market from tho
threshers.
"It is natural that some speculators
will endeavor to force the price down,
hoping that many farmers will be
forest to sell at any price In order
to take up past due obligations. Then
these speculators can take advantage
of the long price that Is sure to come
when tho bulk of the wheat has been
dumped. I want to see the farmers,
not the elevator men, get the profits.
And profits are sure to be better
than for several years if the farmers
can hold on. Those who cannot hold
on without help should have that help
extended to them without delay."
"I hardly know what to say,” said
Grant L. Shumway, secretary of agri
culture in Governor Bryan s cabinet.
■I am quite a hand to take a profit,
and $1-15 Is a pretty good price for
wheat. Of course I would like to see
It go higher, but it may not."
SCIENCE INTO
BLOOD TESTS
London, July 20.—Remarkable and
far-reaching discoveries about the
human blood have been made ns a
result of recent researches, according
to scientific authorities.
It Is stated that tests initiated
shortly after the world war have
conclusively proved that the human
racer Is divided Into, roughly, four
main blood groups, and that this dis
covery will have a very important
hearing on blood transfusion, an oper
ation which Is becoming more and
more frequent In cases of dire neces
sity.
Scientists also believe that the new
discovery may throw freHh light on
the ancestry of man, and will also
possibly have some bearing on the
proving or disproving of legitimacy.

La Follette Drive
for White House
Gets Under Way
Senator Wheeler’s Acceptance
of Vice Presidential Nomi
nation Completes Pro
gressive Ticket.
By KENNETH CLARK.
International New* Service Staff Corre
spondent.
Washington, July 20.—With Sena
tor Burton K. Wheeler, democrat, of
Montana* selected as his running
mate, Robert M. La Follette's Inde
pendent drive for the White House
got away to a fast start here
when definite plans were announced
for launching Immediately an Inten
sive campaign all over the country.
In formally accepting the vice
presidential post, Wheeler savagely
denounced both the republican and
democratic parties as “subservient to
great predatory interests," and charg
ed their nominees with "bearing the
brand of the dollar sign.” Wheeler's
acceptance was contained In a letter
to William H, Johnston, chairman of
the Conference for Progressive Poli
tical Action, which, at La Follette's
request, had offered him the nomina
tion.
Shortly after Wheeler took the
post, both he and La Follette, after a
conference, declared they would wage
a nation-wide stumping campaign
that will carry them into practically
every state in the union. Their first
efforts will be concentrated in the
so-called "enemy territory" of the
east, but both hope to reach the Pa
cific coast in an intensive swing
westward before election time.
La Follette "Tickled."
"I am tickled to death." was La
Follette's laconic reply when he first
learned that Wheeler would accept.
Later, he issued a formal statement
praising Wheeler s "courage, ability,
Integrity and patriotism, and declar
ing "his candidacy will add tremen
dous strength to the progressive
ticket in every state.”
La Follette's optimism was shared
by every member of the progressive
conference which tonight closed its
two-day session, after formulating
plans for raising funds for the cam
paign and perfecting organization de
tails.
Although bolting Davis and Gov
ernor Charles W. Bryan, Wheeler an
nounced "he did not abandon faith
In the democracy of Thomas Jeffer
son."
"I am a democrat, but not a Wall
street democrat."
Visit Conference.
La Follette and Wheeler late Sat
urday went to the Machinists' build
ing and greeted the members of the
progressive conference.
Henry Rosenfelt. New York, was
appointed by the conference as finan
cial campaign director, to work with
Herman M. Ekem, attorney general
of Wisconsin, In collecting funds.
Rosenfelt promised he would raise
$3,000,000. On Labor day. Rosenfelt
said he would ask all members of la
bor organizations to work and turn
over their wages for that day to the
La Follette chest. By this plan, he
added, he expected to raise sufficient
funds to finance the whole La Fol
lette campaign.

Frank Tracy, Whose Death
Puzzled Police for Months,
Alleged to Be Victim of
Boy Super-Criminals.
Chicago, July 20.—Nathan Leopold.
Jr.,* and Richard Loeb, millionaires'
sons who say they kidnaped and kill
ed Robert Franks, a neighbor, for ex
citement, have confessed another
slaying and mutilation operation, the
Herald-Examiner this morning says
it has learned from a source close to
the two boys. The alleged confession
was not made to the state, the paper
said, but was told to attorneys for the
defense and alienists.
The defense may make the alleged
confessions public at the trial, the
newspaper says. In order to show, It
was said, that the boys are mental
ly unbalanced.
The slaying, to which police have
no clue, Is that of Freeman L. Tracy,
a university student, who was shot,
beaten and hurled from an automo
bile In the south part of the city. He
had been to a dance and a friend
) had taken him by automobile to the
Midway Plalsance. He had started'
to walk from there to his home, sup
posedly. Nothing more Is known of
his movements until his body was
found the next morning.
Chauffeur Victim Chloroformed.
The other crime was the mutila
tion of Charles Ream, taxicab driver,
who was held up at the point of
pistols by two men, whom he de
scribes as “a couple of college boys.”
taken to a prairie and chloroformed.
When he awakened he was in In
tense pain, and it was only after he
had crawled five blocks to a tele
phone and summoned aid that he
knew the serious result of the ex
periment performed on him.
When Leopold and Loeb were helng
questioned In the state’s attorney's
office at the time of the Franks slay
ing, Ream was led to the prosecutor’s
office and there, seeing the two boys
being taken out, screamed, “those are
the two. They did It. I’m sure. Oh,
I’d never forget their faces.”
The authorities, however, were
skeptical. Chief of Detectives Hughes
said:
“We are not going to pay any at
tention to these rumors and other
‘Identifications.’ ”
Preliminary motions In the Loeb
Leopold trial will be heard on Mon
day. The trial Is set to open Au
gust 4.
Preparations for the trial were be
ing rounded Into shape under the
greatest secrecy by both the defense
and the state. Rumors of some sort
of a surprise move by the defense on
Monday were circulated today but at
torneys refused to comment on the
reports. The basis of the defense,
they Indicated, might be a plea of
compound insanity, that the youths
alone were Incapable of crime but
that together, their mental processes
were such as to make them danger
ous.
Children Barred.
It has already been ruled that boys
and girls will not be admitted to the
trial. Out-of-town writers are a!
ready arriving here to cover the pro
ceedings.
Lawyers tonight In discussing the
probable result of Monday’s hearing
said the next move Is naturally up
to the defense, and that there are 12
motions the defense attorneys are
likely to consider. They are:
1. A motion to quash the Indict
ments charging kidnaping for ransom
and murder. This is likely as a mat
ter of record.
2. Motion to determine the state
furnish a full list of Its witnesses,
also probable as a matter of record.
3. Motion for a continuance, which
defense attorneys are considering.
4. Motion for a special sanity hear
ing preliminary to the trial.
5. Motion for a change of venue
from the court of Justice John R.
Caveney of the criminal court to an
other court In Cook county.
6. Motion for a change of venue to
a court In another county.
7. Motion to exclude certtaln evi
dence on the ground that It Is Illeg
ally obtained. This might refer to
the boys’ confessions, lawyers said.
8. Motion for a severance of the
trials of the two.
9. Motion to take the case out of
Illinois Jurisdiction and compel the
state to prove venue on the ground
that the Franks boy may have been
killed in the state of Indiana and his
body brought back here.
10. Motion for an Immediate trial.
11. Motion to admit the accused to
ball.
12. Plead the boys guilty as charged.
A newspaper conducting a canvass
of Its readers on a proposal to radio
cast the trial, announced that of
8,137 opinions received, 4,774 were
against the proposal.
No Change of Venue.
Chicago, July 19.—As the lines of
preparation for the now Interna- j
tlonally famous Loeb-Leopold trial
were drawing to a close In readiness
for tho hearing of preliminary mo
tions scheduled for Monday, attorneys
for Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard
Loeb, confessed slayers of Robert
Franks, 13-year-old achool boy, de
cided not to ask for a trial outside
of Cook county. Clarence Harrow,
chief of the defense counsel, made
this announcement today.
They will carry on their battle for
the lives of their clients, sons of mil
lionaires, In the local courts, but may
ask for another month’s delay.
Speculation wna rife today on a
rumored surprise which Harrow wna
said to havo had "up his sleeve.” It
was believed tho veteran attorney
might spring the sensation of the age
by attempting to prove that the crime
which the boys are to stand trial,
occurred across the Indiana boundary
line. Hia later announcement, how
ever, somewhat dispelled this con
jecture.
A sergeant and 10 patrolman will
he stationed about Judge Caverley’s
courtroom when tho trial opens Mon
day morning to assist the sheriff and
his staff in maintaining order. Tha
Instructions will Include the exclu
sion of minors from the courtroom.

The moat from dally living gain.
-*r-Farmer Brown a Boy.
During the long, cold winter no one
had fared better from the bounty of
Farmer Brown's Boy than had Happy
Jack Squirrel. Every day he had come
over'from the Green forest and spent
much of his time around Farmer
Brown’s house. Farmer Brown's Boy
is very fond of Happy Jack Squirrel.
So Is Mrs. Brown, and so Is Farmer
Brown. So all three were delighted
to have the handsome, gray-coated,
bushy-tailed little friend of the Green
forest make his dally visit.
Every day some special tld-blt was
put out for Happy Jack Squirrel.
Often he would come right In the
house If the window was raised for
him. But he always took pains to
make sure that Black Pussy the Cat

was not In the room. Before the win
ter was over Happy Jack seemed like
one of the family. He seemed just
as much one of the family ns did
Black Pussy or Bowser the Hound.
But with the coming of spring
Happy Jack's visits were less fre
quent. On some days he didn't come
at all. Farmer Browns Boy had
missed him for several days. Then
early one morning he discovered
Happy Jack frisking about In a
maple tree close to the house. Happy
Jack seemed to be In high spirits. He
seemed to be bubbling over with Joy.
Farmer Brown’s Boy had seen him
very happy before, but never quite as
happy as he appeared this morning.
Farmer Brown's Boy went back
into the house to get a special tid-blt
for Happy Jack's breakfast. When
he came out and looked up In the
maple tree he rubbed both eyes. Yes,
sir, he did just that. He rubbed them
twice. Then he looked again and
rubbed them for a third time. “Gra
cious!" exclaimed Farmer Brown's
Boy. "Am I seeing double? It looks
to me as If there are two Happy
Jacks up In that tree."
It did look that way. for there was
another Gray Squirrel up there.
When Farmer Brown's Boy saw them
close together he say that this second
Squirrel was a little smaller than
Happy Jack. Then he guessed right
away who It wag. It was Mrs. Happy
Jack. Y'es, sir, that Is who It was.
Happy Jack had found a mate over In
the Green forest, and he had brought
her over to Farmer Brown’s.
Happy Jack ran over to Farmer
Brown's Boy and took some of the
food from his finger*. Then he scam
pered back to the maple tree. Mrs.
Happy Jack w'ns bashful, nr perhaps
she was timid. Though Farmer
Brown s Boy coaxed and coaxed, she
wouldn't come down from the maple
tree. No. sir, she wouldn't come from
that tree.
Then Happy Jack began to coax.
He would run down the tree half way
to Farmer Brown’s Boy, then back
up tho tree to Mrs. Happy Jack. He
did It over and over again. It was
plain that be was trying to make her
understand that everything was safe
und all right. But Mrs. Happy Jack
couldn't get Sp her courage to come
down from the tree, so Farmer
Brown's Boy left some food whero
she could get It and went back to the
house. Ho wondered If Happy Jack
and Mrs. Happy Jack would go back
to the Green forest to stay.

Investigation Proves Motorists
Careless at Railroad Crossings
.______j
Do you stop, look and listen before
crossing railroad crossings?
A very large majority of persons
neither stop nor look, according to a
survey Just completed by the Bur
lington railroad.
The survey does not specify about
the listening, probably because the
observer was unable to determine Just
how much listening was being done.
It does reveal some startling facts,
however, especially In view of sev
eral recent and tragic crossing acci
dents. ,
The observer placed himself at a
crossing of the D. L. D. highway
over the main line of the Burlington
railroad, about four miles east of
Ashland, Neb. It was on July 2, a
bright day, when scores of cars were
on the roads. And during the 10
hours which the observer spent at
the crossing, 445 automobiles and
trucks passed over it.
Majority Prove Careless.
Of this large number, 255 drivers
failed to look either way; 91 drivers
looked only one way and 99 sane,
cautious drivers actually looked both
ways before crossing, but without
bringing their cars to a stop.
The observer had spent an hour or
more at the crossing, and had almost
decided that caution is a dead quality
ir. this world of speed, when a driver
stopped at the crossing and looked
both ways before driving over it.
Only seven other drivers had the
patience to take tills precaution dur
ing the 10 hours he was on duty.
Two near tragedies occurred dur
ing the 10 hours of observation. Once
a family party in a closed car was
driving at rapid speed toward the
crossing. A local passenger train,
traveling at about the same speed,
also was nearing the crossing. The
driver looked neither to right nor left,
nor did he slacken his speed. He
had apparently failed to hear the
shrill whistle of the engine. When
he was but 15 feet from the crossing
the engineer cut loose with another
shrill whistle, attracting the driver
just in time to enable him 10 bring
his car to a screeching, skidding stop
a few feet from the train as tt roared
past. e
Carelessness Predominates.
It required both the engineer’s
whistle and the frantic waving of the
observer to stop a man, driving rapid
ly toward the crossing and destruc
tion a little later in the afternoon.
Other notes made by the observer
at the crossing show that not a sin
gle horse-drawn vehicle passed over
the crossing; that a boy riding a mule
neither stopped, looked nor listened;
that one motorcycle driver was equal
ly indifferent about an approaching
train; that three Uncoin-Omaha
busses failed to stop, although one
slowed down at the crossing; that one
car was driven by a small boy of
about 10, and that engineers on ail
passing trains whistled long and
loudly as they approached tho cross
ing.
Newspapers to Aid.
"I am Intensely Interested In the
careful crossing campaign,” said E.
Flynn, general manager of Rurllng
ton lines west, who had the observa
tion made. "So many reports come
to me of auto accidents at crossings
which show such utter disregard on
the part of the driver to the most
simple rules of safety, that we must
look to our representative newspapers
tr correct the evil.
“I recall just now two or three
cases where automobiles were driven
into the sides of our trains. In one
case I remember the auto struck the
baggage car and in another case^
the auto struck a coach on a passen
ger train, and we have almost any
number of cases where cars ran into
the side of the engine, rather than
being struck by the engine."

Leaps Out Window
Ex-Official of Lincoln Leaves |
Check for Funeral; Falls
Nine Stories.
Los Angeles, July 20.—After writ
ing a personal check to defray fu
neral expenses and leaving a will
disposing of his effects, F. W. Hell- !
wig, 80, ex-city deputy treasurer of !
Lincoln, Neb., and a warm personal j
friend and supporter of William Jen- j
nings Bryan, leaped from a window.
on the ninth floor of the Stillwell
hotel, where he had lived for several;
years, crashed on to the roof of a
Grand avenue garage and died in
stantly.
No motive couid be discovered for
the obviotis suicide, but it was be
lieved by police to have resulted from
worry of the Nebraskan over what he
considered unmerited rebuffs to his
old friend Bryan In the recent demo
cratic convention.
The check to pay his funeral ex
penses was made out to a local un- j
dertaking firm and the will disposed ,
of his effects to W. B. Hethum, 2989 ;
West Pico street, said to be a friend |
of long standing.
Aside from his friendship for !
Bryan, Heilwig is said to have been j
a successful politician in Nebraska
until the failure of his health several
years ago, when he came from Lin- ,
coin to Los Angeles.
He had no relatives in Los Angeles, j
it was stated, and aside from his !
former political prominence in Ne- i
braska, little was known of hie !
previous connections.

here with a summons In a
1250.000 damage suit brought by Mrs.
Florence Powell GUI, Buffalo, N. Y.,
society woman.
Attorneys who filed the suit for
Mrs. G1U refused to state the nature
of the case but it was reported to be
an action for breach of promise. Mr.
Priestley eharacterlzer the suit as
"blackmail.''
"I have known Mrs. GUI for many
years,” he said. 'I knew that she
and her mother came here last week
to attend a muslcale. I certainly had
not expected a suit of any kind and
our relations certainly never have
justified a breach of promise suit, if
that is the nature of this one.”
Priestley was a friend of the late
Theodore Roosevelt and was chair
man of the finance committee In the
late Mr. Roosevelt's campaign for
president on the Progressive ticket of
1912. While holding this position, he
said, he had made it posible for Mrs.

died last February and he declared
he had never proposed marriage to
Mrs. Gill. Mrs. G1U Is a divorcee and
