Robertson Leads Field Houston, Tex., July 27.—A woman running on a rigid anti-Ku Klux Klan ticket may be the next governor ot Texas and the first woman to hold such an office In this or any other state. That woman Is Mrs. Miriam Fergu son, wife of James E. Ferguson, former governor of Texas, who was Impeached and whose name the state supreme court refused to permit to be printed on the ballot for the pri mary election held yesterday. Mrs. Ferguson took her husband's place and conducted an intensive anti-Ku Klux Klan campalfen throughout the state, aided by her husband. Additional returns from the pri mary received tonight put Mrs. Fer gusnn second to Felix Robertson, rec ognized klan candidate for governor, who leads the field of nine guberna torial candidates with a total of 108,720 votes. Mrs. Ferguson's total at this time is 85,000, while that of Lynch Davidson of this city, who also ran on antl-klan ticket, 1s 79,436. The vote counted thus far is rep resentative and is not expected to be changed greatly by later returns. It would appear, therefore, that Mrs. Ferguson and Robertson will be the runoff candidates, in which event there are many voters opposed to women in politics and opposed to the klan who will either have to sup port Mrs. Ferguson or vote for the klan candidate. It Is predicted that a considerable portion of the Lynch-Davidson vote Will go to Mrs. Ferguson, while many of the ballots cast for the other can didates are expected to be spil /be tween Mrs. Ferguson and Robertson ROCKET RAINS MOLTEN METAL London. July 27.—A new terror to the air raider of the future is revealed liy the announcement of the inven tion of a new Incendiary rocket which, it is claimed, will spread a rain of molten metal over an area of five to eight miles on bursting. The inventor, Ernest J. Welch, de clares that the bursting of the rocket would destroy any aeroplane or any thing else in range, penetrating even steel or asbestos. At a test in which the rocket on a small scale was used privileged on lookers saw bursts of molten lead scattered far and wide immediately after the rocket burst, giving a grim indication of what rockets on a larger scale would be able to accomplish. Fuller tests on behalf of the British government are to be made in the near future. It Is stated that the British, American and French gov ernments are interested in the Inven tion, and that a definite offer has been received from the United States. We Have With Us Today C lyde H.

Leopold Vassal of Loeb By CHARLES V. SLATTERY. Chicago, July 27.—The ephemeral phantaeiee of a child of 11, half frightened beneath his counterpane at the horrible wraiths of hie own conception, dictated the murder of young Robert Franks, eight years ago, and forecast trembling young Richard A. Loeb as the master mind of that weird crime. This diagnosis of the inexplicable murder is the verdict of science. It is the report of two alienists for the defense, summaries of which may be introduced at the trial now under way before Judge John R. Caverly, which came Into possession of the Herald & Examiner today. The report Is that of Doctors Carl Murdock Bowman, Boston psychla trist, and H. S. Hulbert, of Chicago. The report discloses that: Loeb the Master Mind. Loeb. the Svengall, the master mind, the plotter, is sane. Leopold, subject, vassal and slave of Loeb, is sane. The physical examination is short and means nothing. Both boys are normal and healthy. The delving into the phantasies, the waking reveries of these cold-blooded youths, Is long. The alienists, follow ing the tortuously twisted mental path back to the babyhood of the two killers have found along the way a set of unbllevable circumstances and fantastic guideposta that virtually traces murder to the cradle. Against this background of child hood phantasy, lined against these dramatic and herolo reveries, are the facts In the case. Cold, Indisputable Criminals of eight. Criminals of 15. Criminals of If. Lseb Stole for Thrill Loeb, the thief. He stole for a thrill. At I, he stole a dollar from a boy next door. He stole cookies, he stole the profits of a boyish ven turer into business.

Leopold, who helped him, be cause he was the master and Leopold the enchained vassal. Loeb was his own hero. Leopold was his man Friday. And—see how curiously this pat tern of fate Is woven by baby hands —Leopold's dreams of wouth always pictured himself aa the slave, another as the king.

Presumably In fun, the boys allowed themselves to be bound, hand and foot, and be put in the barn, but they quickly aroused the neighbor hood by their frantic screams when they were burned. Willard Camp, the younger brother of Orville, attempted to tell the neighbors that his brother was being hurt, but was so excited that he could hardly speak. No one can understand the motives which prompted the boys to thus torture their companions, and by their attitude later they did not show any regret for their actions. ___1— ---' AH in Readiness for World Fliers at Hawk’s Harbor Inhabitants of Port Saunders, Visited by Cruiser Mil waukee, Facing Famine This Winter.

Since the conference was dead locked a week ago on the question of security for a. loan to Germany, there has been a growing feeling In Ameri can official circles against recurrent report* that the whole difficulty has been caused by the unyielding atti tude of American banker* who, ac cording to newspapers, have sought to put their view* on political, as well a* economic questions before the conference. Frank B. Kellogg. American am bassador. has expressed the opinion that there have been considerable misrepresentations of the efforts of American bankers to protect in vestors In a German loan, and to night from other authoritative source# it Is Intimated that the American observers are unwilling that the misconception of what ac tually has happened should continue. Report to Be Reconsidered. The subject of activities of the American bankers likely win be brought up when the experts meet tomorrow morning at 11 to recon sider the report which they formu lated July 19 and which proved so unsatisfactory to the British and American financiers, whose advice was asked with regard to the se curity provided In the report. Since th# bankers stated their views the conference has been deadlocked. Formula after formula has proved unacceptable, either to the bankers or to the French. Tomorrow th# Ideas which the ex perts developed during tb# week-end will b# presented to the conference: but even If they are discarded like others, a full plenary session will be held at 4 o'clock In the afternoon and afterward* an invitation will be dis patched to Berlin for a German dele gation to h# sent to London to dis cuss the reeults the delegates have arrived at on method# for enforcing the Dawes plan proposal*.
