Only Crime Is in • Getting Caught, Leopold Asserts franks Slayer Has No Sorrow j. for Victim’s Family— Loeb Gave “Tips” to Reporters. (Continued from Pane One.) I): revealed that Leopold had Inquired e* Instructors In criminal law at the University of Chicago what would be the consequences of a crime like the (Induction and killing of young Franks. . It showed, too, that he had planned Suicide hy means of poisoned head ache medicine as a way out of the dilemma which he foresaw would be his portion If he ever reached the shadow of the gallows. This was re vealed In one of his conversations With Cortland, the latter testified. Contemplated Suicide. , On another occasion Leopold told Sergeant Frank Johnson, another witness of the day: “If I knew that Loeb -was going to preach, I could have killed myself and taken a couple of coppers with me." " This remark was made when police searchers found two heavy automatic pistols In Leopold’s study. Johnson also told of a remark which he said was made by Leopold when the policeman had momentarily re leased his prisoner's arm. . "If I thought you fellows would Khoot to kill, I would try running," Were the worlds ascribed to the de fendant. That the possible consequences of Ms crime was upon Leopold's mind was further Indicated by testimony given by E. W. Puttkammer, a pro fessor of criminal law at the Univers ity of Chicago, and by Max Wester, a graduate student and tutor: Inquired as to Penalty. Professor Puttkammer said Leopold, U&der the guise of seeking Instruc tions preliminary to an examination, used the Franks killing as a basis for &n academic discussion of criminal intent. The professor said he was ask ed by Leopold what the status would be If a kidnaper accidentally killed his victim, did It with malice afore thought or abducted him only for the purpose of “taking liberties,” with the victim. The professor answered these ques tlons by pointing out that kidnaping, like murder, was a death penalty fel ony In Illinois. Wester testified that Leopold had inquired whether kidnapers who kill ed their victim would be guilty of murder, and that he had assured him they would he guilty. PROGRESSIVE HEAD JOINS LA FOLLETTE (Continued from Fuse One.) same would be true If we’d endorse Norton," Taylor said. No reference was made at the meet ing to the letter sent to J. L. Beebe by Governor Bryan asking that J. N. Norton be given the progressive nom ination for governor following the withdrawal of Bryan as the progres sive nominee. In fact, there was much talk that Beebe and Green would junk the program of the pro gressive party altogether and throw Its entire strength behind the new La Follette party to be born at Grand Island August 19. One of the first proposals was that the machinery of the progressive party be used in getting the names of La Follette and Wheeler on the ballots. This plan was spurned after Mike Harrington of O’Neill pointed out that the progressive party had nominated J. J. Thomas of Sewfcrd as its candidate for United States senator. Bollen Addresses Meeting. "Every mother’s son of us wants Norris as badly as we do La Follette and Wheeler," Harrington declared "I’ll never consent to a move that might endanger Norris.” F. P. Bollen, who delivered a speech yesterday before the demo cratic convention as the democratic candidate for railway commissioner, appeared before the La Follette fol lowers as the progressive candidate for the same office. After Bollen had concluded speaking W. J. Taylor sprang to his feet. "I wonder how many are here as true friends and how many are with us for selfish purposes,” Taylor said. "Let every man who is going to vote for La Follette and Wheeler stand up.” Bollen kept his seat. "Those who did not stand up, get out,” Taylor said. Bollen left In a few minutes. Committee Named. "Who will you support for presi dent?" he was asked as he withdrew. "That's none of your business," Bollen snapped. When the meeting adjourned a committee composed of one from each congressional district with Wiley, a member of the railroad brotherhoods as chairman, was appointed to make arrangements for the Grand Island meeting. Committee members are: Otto Mutz, Lincoln; Anson H. Bige low, Omaha; Otto Uulrich, Winside; F. J. Woods, Barneston; L. H. Law ton, Palisade; Mike Harrington, O'Neill. Canada Wheat Jumps.

Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. Llncolh, July 25.—Tn the mass of correspondence always lying haphaz ard on Governor Bryan's desk is a letter from Elmer E. Thomns, federal prohibition agent for Nebraska, re questing the governor, In the name of prohibition forces In Nebraska, to name a successor to the late Munici pal Judge John Wapplch, who will be in sympathy with prohibition enforce ment. The Thomas letter states bluntly that any attempt by Governor Bryan to please Eugene O'Sullivan, Omaha criminal Lawyer and the delegate to the national convention who nomi nated Bryan for president, in naming the Wapplch successor will be ac cepted by prohibition forces as a sur render to the ‘‘wet” element In Omaha. O'Sullivan, according to re port, has been promised appointment of a municipal judge suitable to him as payment for his work for the gov ernor in New York. The same demand for a law en forcement sympathizer on the mu nicipal bench has been mnde by F. A. High, superintendent of the Afiti Saloon league. High, In a statement lFsued today, charged that the mu nicipal court bench, by failure to mete out heavy Jail sentences to boot leggers In Omaha,'had forced law en forcement officials to take their cases directly Into federal court and clog that court with’ work that should be handled by the municipal bench. High Protests Vacancy. "A year ago I called on Governor Bryan to remove two of Omaha's mu nicipal judges and presented evidence to show they were not enforcing the prohibition law satisfactorily,” High said. “He Ignored my plea and one of the Judges Is still on the bench. “The least the prohibition forces can ask is that in selecting a suc cessor to Judge Wapplch Governor Bryan choose a man who can handle much of this pqllce work and save the federal courts fro mthelr heavy run of criminal cases. The only rea son a majority of liquor cases are tried in federal court is because of ficials can't rely on the municipal courts to impose the heavy Jail sen tences necessary to stamp out boot legging. Vacancy Since April. "Governor Bryan has stood with the 'wet' element in Omaha for a year in refusing to take action on our request for removal of two Judges. It is high time he did some thing for the prohibition forces In Nebraska.” The vacancy on the municipal bench in Omaha has been open since April. Governor Bryan has stead lastly refuted to make an appoint ment despite the fact that the court work Is too heavy for the judges to handle and they have issued state ments saying It was impossible to carry on the work with dispatch un til they received more help.

If only we will lift up our eyes. Remember that nature Is your great restorer. “The second Is a reverence for law. I remember the town meetings of my boyhood, when the citizens of our little town met to levy taxes on themselves and to choose from their own number those who should be their officers. There Is something In every such meeting, In every election, that approaches very near to the sub lime. Heritage of tT. S. Roy. “I am thrilled at the thought of my audience tonight, for I never .address boys without thinking that among them may he a boy who will sit In this White House. Somewhere there are boys who will be presidents of our railways, presidents of colleges, of banks, owners of splendid farms and ueful Industries, members of con gres, representatives of our people In foreign lands. That Is the heritage of the American hoy. It was an act of magnificent courage when our an cestors set up a nation wherein any boy may aspiro to anything. That great achievement was not wrought without Wood and sacrifice. Make firm your resolution to carry on nobly what has been so nobly begun. Let this nation, under your .guidance, be a finer nation. Resolve that the sac rifices by which your great opportuni ties have been purchased will be matched by a sacrifice on your part, that will give your children even « better chance, "The third is a reverence for Ood, It is hard to see how a great nal can be an atheist. Without the c-je talnlng Influence of fskh In a divine power we could have littte faith in our selves. We need to feel that behind us Is Intelligence and love. Doubters do not achieve; skeptice do not con tribute; cynics do not create. Faith is the great motive power, and no man realizes his full possibilities un less he has the deep conviction that life is eternally Important, and that his work, well done, is a part of an unending plan. “There are not only some of the fundamentals of the teachings of the Boy Scouts, they are the fundament als of our American Institutions. If you will take them with you, if you will he living examples of them abroad, you tvill make a great con triction toward a better understand ing of our own country, and redeve in r turn a better understanding of other countries; for you will find in other lands, to a very large extent, exactly what you carry there your* selves'. I trust that you can show to you foreign associaties In the great scout movement that you have a deep reverence for the ruth, and are de termined to live by It; that you wish to protect and cherish your own evountry andcontribute to the well being, right thinking and true living of the whole world.” Dooley Baby Dies.
