Few More Witnesses Yet Chicago, Aug. 11.—The theories of the phantasy life and functional dis order of the endocrine glands built up by the defense through Its fourth alienist, Dr. H. S. Hulbert of Chicago, In Its plea for mitigation of unlshment of Richard Loeb and Nathan F. Leo pold, Jr., for kidnaping and slaying young Robert Franks, was attacked vigorously by the state today In the hearing before Judge John R. Caver iy. Battering away at the tnase of testi mony developed by the defense In Its contention that the youths were In fluenced by childish phantasies which continued to sway them as they de veloped Into manhood, Loeb dream ing of committing a perfect crime, and Leopold following because of a king-slave dream that had persisted for years, Robert E. Crowe, state's attorney, gained from Dr. H. S, Hul bert the admission that It was possi ble that the youths had been re hearsed by attorneys and doctors In terested In building their defense. Hammering no less relentlessly, the prosecutor gained the admission that the effect of the endocrine glands on forming and fixing mentality Is as yet a seriously debated question In the medical profession. Roth IJed to Him. The young mental pathologist ad mitted that hl» conclusion* that both Loeb and Leopold wer* •‘mentally sick” were based chiefly on state ments made to him by Loeb and Leo pold. and that he knew the two had lied to him In Rome Instances, mainly through withholding Information they were asked to divulge. He admitted there were gaps In hts report, which. If filled In with with held information, might have Influ enced him to conclusions different from those he haa recited. That Leopold favored kidnaping and attacking a young girl before killing her, rgther than following Loeb’s plan of selecting a male child is their victim, also was brought out by Mr. Crow-e on cross-examination Dr. Hulbert said that Leopold had told him his preference of a girl vie tlm waa Influenced by a phantasy In which he had visioned German sol diers attacking French girl*. Dr. Hulbert Joined the three alien ists who had preceded him In the wit ness box In stating that Leopold, while Intellectually powerful, was of an emotional age of below 12 years, but Crowe got from him the state ment: l/copoid Was Posing. "1/eopold haa more emotion than he says exists.” Mr. Crowe had asked the witness If. when I/eopold was not "posing,” with his super mentality on guard, he was not emotional. “It la possible,” Dr. Hulbert re plied. when the prosecutor asked him if Leopold had not been "posing" throughout the various Jail examina tions while portraying himself as un emotional ami the ready subject of phantasies Dr. Hulbert added, however, that I^eopold'a Jail poalng only magnified hi* deferfs, and that he had teen readily through the dissembling. The mental pathologist said that a physical examination would not Indl cate a man was mentally sick nor (bat be harbored criminalistic ten dencles. Therefore he said he was tumble to point out on various x ray plates "one physical defect In either defendant which accounts for this crime” ns demanded hy Crowe In his attack on the functional die ordera of the endocrine gland* theory, Crowe asked: "What Is the function of the pineal gla nd? "It regulates the tmlnnce of other endocrine glands,” answered the doc tor.

Staff Correepondent of The Omaha Bee. Sidney, Neb., Aug. 11.—Today I drove nearly 100 miles through Chey enne county over splendid roads and along wheat and corn fields that were a toy to behold. A year ago Chey enne county’# wheat crop was a fail ure but a magnificent corn crop paved the situation. Thla year the county is harvesting one of the largest and best wheat cropa in its history, and In addition a tremendous acreage of corn Is promising a record yield. The wheat 1s pouring Into Sidney and other railroad points and the resultant inflow of money Is causing! a revival of business, but better than j ail. It is bringing new pep and confl- | denee. However the experience of the last four or live year* will not soon be forgotten. Th* big wheat section of western Nebraska Is not going to get wholly out of debt by reason of one big crop, but long owing accounts are being settled up. business Is improving ev ery day and people of this section are facing the future with greater confi dence. It is not going to be a fertile field for blue sky operators. Merchants are not laying In Immense stocks in anticipation of a tremendous revival of business. There Is no sign of a tremendous boom in land values. Rut there Is a growing demand for land at prices that will enable the buyer to make money by careful farming. In Cheyenne county, aa In every other county, there are two kind# of farmers—those who trust wholly In God and those who do their level best and trust to God for what they cannot do themselves. The latter class has profited In spite of the lean years. Ths first class couldn't profit under the best of circumstances. Wheat in Cheyenne and Kimball counties will average pretty close to 30 bushels per acre. There have been some record yields reported. One 15 acre field averaged a fraction more than 61 bushels. John Trelnen ha* 600 acres that will yield him better than 1.600 bushel*. A 500-acre farm operated by l.ucaa Will has already threshed 17.000. The big yields are from farms oper ated by men who farm scientifically. On the Dalton table north of Sidney the corn prospects are above normal and the wheat harvest t* exception ally good. Much of the wheat Is har veeted by combine and an Immense acreage is yet to be cut. BLOOD POISONING CURE DYES FACE By fnt#rtirttlntuiJ Pan Francisco.

Davis tonight launched his fight as the dem ocratic candidate for president of the United States, a fight which he told the leaders of his party, when they met in a reorganization session, would be on# waged "without kid gloves." Before thousands of his fellow townsmen and countrymen, gathered In Goff Plaza, the candidate defined what he regarded as the chief Issues In the campaign. The ceremonies marked the real be ginning of the battle for the presi dency. Davie being the first of the candidates to receive formal notifies^ tlon of his nomination. The mes sage was delivered to him by Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, per manent rhalrman of the national con vention. The delivery of his acceptance ad dress marked the culmination of a day of Intense activity for the candi date. For several hours ha received Incoming delegations who visited hla old homestead In Dee avenue: attend ed a meeting of the democratic na tional committee: was the honor guest at a dinner tendered that committee and the notification at the Waldo ho tel and later reviewed a parade. Thousands Gather. Leaving hla home before noon. Davis first went to the Elks club for the purpose of presenting to the na tlonal committee the name of Clem D. Shaver of Fairmont, as Its chair men. From the club he proceeded to the hotel nearby where he promised members of the democratic national committee that he would go out on the firing line to remain until elec tion day, "to tell the truth and to stand on that.” Throughout the day Clarksburg was a milling mass of humanity. To the thousands who had been gather ing here since th# candidate's home coming on Saturday were added many other thousands, brought in from far and near by special trains and auto mobiles. Each organized delegation was met by a hand and many brought their own musician* to lead them In their marches to the Davis home and about the city. Meantime the highways en tering the city were filled with al most unbroken line* of motor ears whose progress from the state bor ders to the designated parking places In the city wa* guided by state and city police.

Davis Ogles Labor Votes in Speech Davis’ speech was of more than usual Interest for the reason that It was the first definite expression from the democratic candidate for presi dent. Davis made no campaign for the nomination and until the final vote In the New York convention, was constantly behind the scenes The speech of acceptance, therefore, for the first time brings the candidate and his principles definitely Into the limelight. As revealed In hie speech, the defi nite things for which Davia stands are as follows: 1. Favors importation of “goods” from debtor nations so that by the sale of these "goods” they can pay their war debts to the United States. 2. Favors Importation of forejgm "goods” as an aid to th# American merchant marine, thus supplying It “the cargoes necessary for Its exist ence." S. Favor# labor organizations and the right of labor to ’’collective bar gaining.” 4. Opposes Injunctions against la bor. 2. Favora “free recognition” of th#, rights of labor "to share In all de» clsinns that affect their welfare" in both democracy In government and democracy In Industry. 6 Favors full us# of government powers In aiding farmers. 7. Favors reasonable "rates” to farmers for railroad transportation, j 8 Favors strict enforcement of the 18th amendment and the Volstead law. 9. Favor* entrance Into the world court. 10. Favors Joining the league of nations "as soon as the American people are ready.” 11. Opposes racial and religious persecution and while not directly naming the Ku Klux Klan, opposes Its activities. 12 Pledges himself. If elected, not to make religious faith or racial or igin qualifications for any office. II. Favor# practice of economy In government and support of th# na tional budget. Most of these declarations are what was expected of the candidate, due to his previous associations. Particu larly Is this true of hi# support of the league of nations. There Is one startling pledge In hi# program, however, namely his decla ration of principles with respect to labor. This Is regarded *t a direct appeal to the Ia Follette supporters He declares himself not only In favor of labor organizations and ths right to collective bargaining, but he ex presses the attltudeo f the demo cratic party toward labor to be “a sincere desire to make labor a part of the grand council of the nation.” He declares for th# right of labor rot only to take part fully In an mat ters of government, but he demands # full recognition of th# right* of la bor In th# "democracy of industry." Those who heard ths speech declare that In this pledge Davis goes beyond the democratic party pledges In the matter of labor and Its rlghta. Davia has thus definitely modified the demo cratic platform, which make# no men tion of *uch pledges. Ths candidate thus serve# notice on Da Follette that he will contest with him for ths support of labor durln the cam paign.

Va., Aug. 11.—Much surprise was ex pressed here today that Sena tor Walsh of Montana, in no tifying John W. Davis of his nomination, should devote approximately half of his ad dress to a defense of the democratic candidate. It was expected that during the campaign considerable time would have to be employed by the democrats in defend ing Davis. Particularly this was expected in the necessity of answering attacks of Wil liam J. Bryan and other dele gates to the democratic na tional convention and in re plying to the criticisms which continue to |?e made in the Hearst newspapers and by the supporters of La Follette. It was not anticipated, how ever, that the address of no tification which is naturally an address of welcome to party leadership would be devoted to a defense of the man to whom the welcome was extended. Expression* of Anger. At first there were expression* of mild surprise at the Montana sen ator'* remark*. These turned to sup pressed anger as his arguments con tinued. At it* conclusion there were those who openly said: "Walsh has damned Davis with faint praise.” In the thoughts of those supporter? of Davis who objected to what Sen ator Walsh said about him. there is no idea of attempting to rectify the mistake. They feel that, bad as the situation is, to attempt to reply to Walsh would but make matters worse. Everywhere In Clarksburg tonight one finds expression* of gritirism of Walsh, angry criticism. It is felt the Montana senator over shot his bolt and that he has loaded down the candidate with a praise #o faint and damning that he will not be able to overcome it- Worst of all the words of Walsh have been placed irrevocably in the record. Printed copies of the speech were eant to newspaper* throughout the country and the radio broadcast it to hundred* of thousands of homos, whirs ft is felt it will lay Ilk* a wet fog through out tha campaign.
