Washington, Sept. 10.—Lieut. Erik

plane, New Orleans, to Bolling field
from Halethorpe, near Baltimore, lafe
today rejoining Lieut. Lowell H.
Smith’s Chicago, at 6:27 p. m.
Baltimore, Sept. 10.—The New Oi
lcans, Lieut. Erik Nelson, pilot, took
off at Halethorpe suburb at 6:59 today
for Bolling field, Washington,
equipped with a new motor which re
placed the engine that failed a few
minutes after the army around-the
world fliers passed over Baltimore
yesterday on the Ne^j York-Washlng
ton lap of the Journey and forced a
landing at Halethorpe,
Washington, Sept. 10.—A new routo
for the flight of the army world fliers
from Washington to Seattle was an
nounced today by the War depart
ment.
The Itinerary takes in Dayton, O.;
Chicago, III.; Omaha. Neb.; St. Joseph,
Mo.; Muskogee, Okla.; Dallas, Tex.;
El Paso, Tex.; Tucson, Arlz.; San Di
ego, Los Angeles and San Francisco;
Eugene, Ore., and Seattle, Wash.
Ths original route whlcch con
templated the crossing via Dayton, O.,
to Chicago and westward along the air
mall line to Sacramento was changed
at the request of Lieut. Lowejl H.
Smith, commanding the world squad
ron after he and his colleagues had
completed a careful Inspection of the
airplanes.
The inspection was said in an of
ficial statement made public by the
War department to have disclosed
strains resulting from the 300 odd
hours of flying to whichc the ma
chines have been subjected "which
have considerably reduced their ef
flclency’’ and will make It Impossible
for them to climb to a height of more
than 6,600 feet without danger.
The changed Itinerary eliminates
stops whichc had been planned for the
fliers at North Platte, Neb.; Chey
enne and Rock Springs, Wyo.; Salt
I^k* City and Salduro, T'tah; Reno,
Nev., snd Sacramento, C'al.
Condition Not Forseen.
The announcement of the revised
Itinerary said: "Before the flight had
reached the Nnited States, plans to
have It take the most direct route
to Seattle, Wash., Its terminus, wen
drawn up snd approved. This con
templated the crossing of th* Ricky
and Cascade mountains over the sir
mall route which la now being flown
by th* airplanes of th* postofflc* de
partment.
"The condition of th# airplanes of
the round-t he world flight could not
be foreseen at that time, but upon
its srrlvtl in Boston and at the
urgent reaiest of th* flight com
mander, the route must now be
changed. The airplanes have been
subjected to over 300 hours of the
most strenuous flying to which any
aircraft were ever exposed, the strains
of which have considerably reduced
their efficiency, and i twaa impossible
for the mto reach an altitude of over
6,500 feet without danger.
"Having In mind only the success
ful completion of this great under
taking, it has been found necessary
to change the original plan and route
the planes over th# southern portion
of the United States where they will
eroa the Rockies at their lowest altl
tude and be In a position to take ad
vantage of excellent existing air
domes, passing up the coast to termin
at their flight at Seattle.”
Flight Positioned.
The transcontinental leg of the
flight, which Is to tie in the aerial
loop around the world, was post
poned today in order that Lieuten
ant* Smith, Nelson and Wad* might
participate here In th* Defense day
test Friday. Under the new schedule
they are to tnke off from Bolling
field Saturday morning about 8, for
Dayton, O, and report at th* west
coast terminal on the afternoon of
September 23.
During the reninlnder of the flight,
however, no effort will lie inmle to
hold the convoy to a hard and fast
program, and If difficult weather Is
encountered, liberal delays will be
authorized.
A Martin liornher from Langley
field, commanded hy ('apt. E. W.

Leopold and Loeb to Be
Carried to Penitentiary
Like Caged Animals
Sensational though the trial of Leopold and Loeb
was, their journey to Illinois’ state penitentiary at Joliet,
where they will probably live the balance of their lives,
promises to be equally so.
At 9 this morning, a squadron of motorcycle police
will lead a grim procession from Cook county jail. Be
hind it will trail cars carrying 50 armed officers. Then
a steel cage, carrying two boys who, a few short months
ago, w'ere astounding their classmates with brilliant re
search. And then 50 morearmed guards.
Perhaps the journey will thrill Leopold and Loeb,
the inveterate thrill seekers. It will be unusual. It will
bedramatic.
Leopold and Loeb in a steel cage, caged by society to
protect itself against these two boys as a circus owner
cages his tigers to protect his public. But no circus own
er ever took the additional precaution that society has
taken. No circus owner ever led his caged animals with
armed guards and trailed them with officers carrying
sawed-off shotguns.
Fear that citizens, enraged by Judge Cavcrly’s de
cision that the gallows shall not have these two boys,
will attempt to take justice into their own hands, has bred
this procession.
No bank ever guarded its deposits so closely when
sending them through the streets. But then the lives of
Leopold and L oeb are more precious to the state of
Illinois than any specie shipment. They have been sen
tenced to Joliet. The state of Illinois is making certain
that they will get there.

Charlie Bryan’s as Bad as Shaver!
He Also Sees Victory in Maine
“Very Encouraging to Democratic Party.” Says Governor,
After Reading That Republicans Win by 35.000
Majority; “Indicates Opposition to G.O.P.”
Lincoln. Sept. 10—The outcome
of the Maine election "is very en
couraging to the democratic party
throughout the country," Governor
Bryan said today.
"The only comparison that could
be made and carry any real
weight,” the democratic vlre presi
dential candidate said, "would be
to compare It with the presidential
election there four years ago."
Such a comparison, he added,
would indicate a "wide spread oppo
sition to the republican adminis
tration and dissatisfaCtion with con
ditions in this country brought
about either through that adminis
tration's action or inaction."
The results in Maine. Mr. Bryan
further commented, were ' very
gratifying to the democrats this
early in the campaign."

Attempt to
Lynch Boys
Threatened
Leopold and Loeb, Now “Life
Termers,’’ to Be Taken to
Joliet in Steel Caged
Car.
Police to Clear Road
Chicago, Sept. 10.—Nathan
Leopold and Richard Loeb
are going to the penitentiary
to spend their lives.
That was the sentence pro
nounced by Judge John R
Caverly today.
The law' has put a double
lock on them.
It is a sentence of life Imprison
ment for murder and another sen
tence of 99 years in prkson for kid
naplng. Added to this is a recon)
mendation of Judge Caverly that the1,
never l-e pardoned or paroled.
The slayers of little Robert Frank
tonight were spending their last hour
in the Cook county jail. The com
mitment paper* were being drawn—
papers that will order the prison
warden to commit them to the grim
walls of Joilet penitentiary for tb*
rest of their natural lives.
The start for the penitentiary will
be made tomorrow morning at 9.
Peter Hoffman, sheriff of Cook
county, announced that the trip
would be made by automobile.
Rumors of Lynching.
Rumors have come to the sheriff
that an attempt would be made to
capture and lynch the slayers. To
guard against an attack of this char
acter 100 or more guards will escort
the prison car. No chances will be
taken. A squad of motorcycle police
will clear the road, then will come
cars with armed guards. Then tht
steel-caced prison car. followed by
more automobile loads of crxned
guards.
The final courtroom scene this
morning was brief. It was gripping.
If Leopold and Loeb wanted a thrill
they gt» It when Judge Caverly began
rendering ha decision at 9 30. There
were time* when his words Indicated
the death penalty would be hia ver
diet. In solemn tones the venerable
jurist summed up his finding.
"The court is satisfied." he went
on, "that neither the act Itself nor
in its motive or lack of motive, nor
in the antecedents of the offender*,
can he find any mitigating circum
stances."
No Hint of \ enlb t 1 -itil find.
The slayers droojied. -their face*
took on a hopeless, half-terro;
stricken expression.
In measured tones Judge Carer!’ *
announced the defense had not estab
lished deranged mentality and that
"by pleading guilty they have ad
mltted legal responsibility fy thei:
act."
The plea of guilty—it could no:
save them from the extreme penalty
On this point he said:
"The state was in possession not
only of the essenti.il substannatin.
facts, but also of voluntary eonfes
sions on the part of the defendant
The plea of guilty, therefore, does
not make a special case in favor o'
the defendants.”
And so on, the conclusions of tin
court gave no consolation to the slay
ers until he came to this passage:
"Fnder the plea of guilty the duty
of determining the punishment de
voices upon the court and the law
Indicates no rule of policy for the
guidance of his discretion. In rend
ing his decision the court would
have welcomed the counsel and sup
port of others Nevertheless the
court is willing to meet his resps-ns
bilities.
