TODAY By ARTHUR BRISBANE Leopold Loeb Close Up Follow the Eyes Pale, Sallow, Frightened To Hang or Be Jailed (Copyright, 1924, by Star Co.) CHICAGO, 111., July 30. is a close view of the mur der trial of the century. Tou ere sitting, with this writer in Judge Caverly's court, fifth floor of the Criminal Court building, on the "near North Side" of the Chicago river. In a light room with white metal ceiling, big windows on two sides! large noiseless fans revolve, and a Mnall crowd watches as eagerly as crowds used to watch on Tyburn Hill, waiting for the hangman to mount the scaffold, as eagerly as they watched, in the early dawn around te place de la Roquette when a man is to be guillotined. Looking for Leob and Leopold, you follow the eyes of a.

young 17 year old girl, sitting wi'h her back to the two moving picture machines. There they sit close together, their lawyers beside them ten feet from tl.e moving picture men, just below the judge's bench. Consider that you are sitting in a chair between the young murderers and the judge's desk. You could touch them with your hand. What is written here, you see and think, as you look about.

Boys that have caught rabbits in traps, looking in at the panting animals, know what these young men look like as they sit trapped facing the gallows. Their lawyer encour ages tnem. Aoove tnem sits ine iudee. with stern, cold face. Behind each sits a bailiff, with hand cuffs ready.

A third heavily prmed is there for good measure. They are frightened, worried, hunted. Loeb is pallid, sallow, cheeks slizhtly sunken. His big round dark eyes look out straight ahead, or from side to side, but without looking at anybody. Leopold, less conspicuous, seems to fade awav into the greater strength and bigger bulk of Clarence Darrow, beside him.

Leopold's eyes fi" 11 gray, his nose long. Loeb's nose is short, his eyes a black brown. Both have ears hieh up on their heads. In each the face below the forehead is so long that the forehead and head top above look like a. roof placed on top of the face like the roof on a bird house.

Loeb wears a small bow tie. Leo poll a longer type of cravat, the "F'our in Hand." style. Loeb wears short coat with large pockets sewed to the outside, belt, running around the waist, a pleat down the back. wears blue serge. T'otb dress with care.

Their hair is thick, very black, thoroughly greased. 1'nllert backward, it droops over the hark of the head like the quills of a orcnpine at rest. Mil ny young girls in the courtroom re looking at them.i Rome are writers; others hiive merely come forth for to Most of them are dressed jfov a or a bull fight, with finest clothes, on. The two young murderers sit throughout the courtroom hours with hinds folded in their ps 'it semes strange to speak of two ordinary young men "within reach of your band "two young When Leopold talks to his lawyer, he unfolds his hands to use hem in r. itions.

pushing up the lower part of the palm, pulling in his chin, i emphasize what he savs. To the judge's right, sit reporters for pews agencies and telegraph operators with "silencers" on their machines, weiring "headsets' that they may hear "noiseless" incoming mes rages. The reporters are eager, keen and alert as a terrier in a rat pit, waiting the rats. Wherever they look the two boys both in their 'teens, see eager, studying, piercing eyes. The typical fe male reporters sit, within six feet of them.

One of them cares nothing about her looks, wants to world to know it, and in consequence she looks well. Her hair roughly bobbed as though she had done it herself, her dress that would suit Julien's atelier in Paris, proclaim her intellectual character The other DOE? care how she looks, and wears her black, nice oily hair draped sidewise across her forehead like a section of the tall of a black pony. She la dressed carefully all over. They look at loeb and at Leopold. Then they write with their little lead pencils.

Then they look again, fr'eventy five or a hundred others, male and fc male. are doing the same. As the boys listen to some passage of thejr confession, real perfunctorily as part of the "case for the l'fople" they lean toward each ether nd laugh. Th.it frequent laueh ts hy the reporters to indicate Insanity, abnormality, everything queer ise and dreadful. Tt as natural as the sound made by a cockatoo.

All of the band members, as well as Charles Van Buskite, the driver, received minor injuries.

The musicians say they were proceeding at a moderate speed. The pike was slippery and as they approached the crossing several members said they heard the locomotive whistle. The driver was within 20 feet of the crossing before he saw the approaching locomotive. He applied the brakes but the truck skidded and continued toward the tracks. Seeing the collision was imminent.

Van Buskite bent every effort and succeeded in turning the truck into the ditch and thence into a field. The machine was wrecked and an instant later the train whizzed by them. The truck turned over three times. Members of Party In the party were: Ed. Plank, Berks superintendent of the state employment agency, 33 Third John Beckel, Locust Charles Aulenbach, 857 Schuylkill William Hornran, Mt.

Penn; Wellington Neudoeffer, 217 N. Fourth Fred Dltz. 629 Locust Victor Salt, 110 Windsor Barbour Bitzer, 221 Walnut "Pat" McDonough, 927 Cotton Paul Woodworth, 521 Windsor st. Bitzer was the most painfully in jured. He, with Plank and Horaan, was taken to a physician in Pottstown for examination.

Two stitches were required to close a wound in Bitzer's upper Hp. Horaan was hurt about the back and Plank was hurt afcout the head and fingers. Becks! had a cut face and a bruised hand. Most of the others also suffered slight bruises also. Woodworth, who was sitting on the front seat with the driver, was unhurt, although he was thrown farther than the others.

Other members of the band, following in touring cars, rescued the men while the train' was also stopped to see if aid could be given. Passengers Stop Trani Passengers on the train saw the truck upset as It left the road and, thinking it had been struck by the train, unknown to the engineer, not! fled the brakeman. He immediately pulled the emergency cord and brought the train to a sudden stop. He told the engineer of the accident. ittiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiili1 HUH! 5 I Another Free Site I for Museum! I Lee Friday, who I I offers it to school board, I admits it's eight miles from Penn Square, but declares "walking is good 5 Couched in legal phraseology, yet savoring highly of a burlesque on the recent museum site controversy, a document proffering a new location for the museum, consisting of twelve acres of land near Fritztown, was mailed yesterday to the school board by Lee Friday and a co owner, for consideration at the next meeting.

Conditions of the offer are that work on the site be begun within a reasonable times that the grounds be beautified, subject to the approval of Mr. Nolen and the latter's services be paid by the school board. The communication which embodies the offer recites at length the desirabilities, real and fancied, of the site and concludes with the statement that the donors of the property are not desirous of being considered philanthropists, declaring that they will be adequately compensated by the increased value of their other properties adjacent to the site. The communication, sent the school board, follows in full: AN OPEN PROPOSAL TO THE READING SCHOOL DISTRICT "We have often heard it spoken that distance lends enchantment to the view, and if that be true, perhaps such thought in part actuated five members of the school board to favor the proposed museum's location far from tho madding crowd. If so, they will be delighted with this proposal by increasing the distance.

True the museum might not actually be viewed by the great, majority of the people for whose benefit and with whose money It is to be built but it will have the advantage of giving the many who will find It Inconvenient to visit it a beautiful Imaginative view and besides think how convenient it will be for the residents of Fritztown. THE PROPOSITION "We Own eighteen acres of land In a beautiful part of the county, of a high elevation with running water and babbling brooks, forest trees and fruit orchards, and convenient of access." Reserving only to ourselves six acres of this" tract we offer to the Reading school district as a site for the proposed museum this land and to convey title in fee simple with no conditions other than are herein expressed.

The municipal council today voted a 10 per cent rebate of this year's city taxes, following report of City Man ager Louis Brownlow that there was a surplus of more than $300,000 in the city treasury.

This will cut Knoxville's tax rate from $2.44 to $2,196. When the present city manager administration went into office in October, it found the municipal books in such bad order it was unable to ascertain what size the budget would be. The council adopted a budget based on expenditures of the last few years. I'VE BEEN THE MAN," SAYS PEGGY r(C 3fC S(C jff 5(( OH, GEE! WHAT A MESS," SHE SAYS NEW YORK. July 30.

Peggy Hopkins Joyce, or the Countess Margaret Upton Hopkins Joyce Morner, as her husband called her in his suit for annulment of the marrlge, sitting on a purple canopied bed In her Louis XV apartment, explained today that the trouble with the young count was that, though he was a "nice boy'' and a "perfect gentleman," he allowed his wife to be the man of the family. "I loved him she said, "or I would never have married him because I could get more than a count if I wanted to. But it's all over now. He won't work. "Love fled when I had to pay the bills not.

because of the money, but because I lost my respect for him. I' been the man of the family. Now I'm going back on the stage for myself." Maid Corroborates Her The countess called in her maid to corroborate her assertions of having financed the count since her marriage. Haven't you known me to cash checks for $400, $500 and $1,500 and turn the money over to him?" she asked, and the maid assented.

Chief of Police Stroble and Officer DeMario were keeping the quarantine at the car. Several score of cases of fruit remained In the car. At least 10 were opened by the inspectors and Mr. Silvis, and the oontents turned out for examination. All beetles found were promptly turned over to Dr.

Fox, who placed them in a jar containing cyanide, gas, a deadly poison. After the plums were found to be intact, the crates containing this fruit was released for sale and car riea rrom tne car, Aoout one aozen boxes of oranges were also carried out and Inspected in the warehouse by Mr. Hadley. The car was then swept out and examined for stray beetles, and the rest of the fruit will be removed today and everv box opened before it is released for sale.

His skull was fractured and hl left leg broken in two places. In addition he was Injured internally.

Lutz was one of a gang engaged In replacing ties. He left to secure a drink of water. After crossing the tracks Lutz, it Is said, for some unknown reason, retraced his eteps and walked from behind a car into the path of the rapidly approaching freight. He was hurled against a tool house. He was unconscious when picked up.

A shifting engine hurried him to the outer station. The "Junior ambulance was waiting and took him to the hospital. Lutz remained unconscious throughout the night, and at three o'clock this w.ornlng, hospital authorities said he failed to show any signs of improvement. Lutz recently left a farm in Lower Heidelberg, which he worked, to move to Sinking Spring. He is mar rled and has a wife, Emily, and two children, Grace, 4, and Helen, 9.

As her interviewers left she smiled and exclaimed: gee, what a mess." Count Also Explains Meanwhile the count, on his side did some explaining, elaborating upon his earlier analysis of his grievances. His theme was that Peggy had a beastly temper and married htm purely for his title. The count said he had told Peggy before the marriage that he was not wealthy and that she had assured him that it was all right, as she had enough money for them both.

Nevertheless, the count denied that he had ever asked his wife for money. "I gave her money and was a good husband," he said. SOME'SPLASH! BUT GILSON ALLEY LIKES IT!

I So did 600 other boys and girls who live down Gilson Alley way. And that's not all they washed. A fire hose with a big brass aprinkler suspended from a telephone pole, drenched with cool water all Gilson Alley kids and all their friends and Gilson Alley Itself. Yesterday, under the personal direction of Comiir.lssioner of Public Safety O.

B. Wetherhold, Fire Chief Niethammer and members of the Liberty fire company held the first of a series of fire hose swimming parties to be held in Reading's congested districts this summer. This morning Mr. Wetherhold has asked me to come down to city hall and talk over with Chief Niethammer and himself, arrangements for a schedule of fire hose swimming periods in all congested districts. "Gilson Alley convinced me," said Wetherhold last "I can't Imagine another thing the city could do toward bringing summer time comfort to the poor kids of the city as well as better and more wholesome living conditions than this fire ho6e plan." That's what Chief Niethammer thought too and he says there isn't a bit of doubt but what every fire company in the city will volunteer to man the hoses so that schedule can be carried out.

Shortly before 3 o'clock' the chief and Tommy Devine and John Fry and Frank Butler, all of the Liberty company, arrived with their hose and sprinkler at the Gilson Alley fire plug. A chorus of shouts, sent up by more than 300 kids Jammed and packed into the narrow alley, greeted them. Scores of children were in bathing suits, ready for the party. Most were in thin garments, stripped of all non essentials of costume, eager and anxious for the new adventure In swimming. A few older boys and girls were ready, too.

rest of Gilson Alley and a fatr sized gallery of folks from other districts, there to see the fun, stood on doorsteps out of reach of the water. Fire Chief on the Job Chief Niethammer made his short arrangements. He ran his line of hose through the rnrob of children and then Not at all like the "gentle rain from heaven," but rather like a cloudburst in the middle of a parched and burned desert, the water came. It ran' down 'the hot bricks, sweeping dust and rubbish with Kids rushed under its spray. Some brought soap and others brought their little brothers.

They frolicked and they played in the water, but most of all they shouted. You could hear the racket for blocks. Like the tune that the Pied Piper piped, the kids of the whole neighborhood heard, understood and were seduced by the noise of their playmates. They flocked for blocks around and soon the alley could hold no more. Then some explorer discovered that the stream had made a beautiful big mud puddle in the Reading Iron Company playground.

For a few minutes the hose was nearly deserted. The kids covered themselves with mud and then ran back to the hose to wash it off. Soon that was the' accepted game. If one did not play it, one was hardly in style. The rules were siiiriple: One coated oneself with mud as rapidly as possible.

Then one rushed, as rapidly as possible, to the hose, washed off the mud and rushed back for more mud, then for more water there's really no end to the game. A doctor in the audience told me that mud accumulated in this fashion and washed off In this fashion really is a cleansing agent. He should know. But he refused to try it. It was a good party.

3 Cents a Copy LEGAL TILT TIES COURT IN. FRANKS CASE Judge Allows Alienists to Testify to Sanity of Loeb and Leopold CHICAGO, July 30. (By The A. Whether mental diseases constitute insanity or only a degree of responsibility that can be considered in mitigation of sentence, was the problem presented today to Judge John R. Caverly.

He bears the responsibility of deciding the punishment of Nathan Leopold, and Richard Loeb, for the kidnaping and murder of Robert Franks, and the legal puz lie was put up to him today whsn the defense started. Judge Caverly flatly over ruled an objection by Robert E. Crowe, state's attorney, to any evidence bearing upon the mental condition of the defendants. Despite this fact the prosecutor insisted upon being heard, saying: Mocks Death Sentence "If this hearing results in a sentence of death, the order of the court would not be worth the paper it was written on. It would surely be ap pealed to the Supreme Court and if you admit evidence concerning any degree of insanity I will confess error in the upper court." I don care what is done with this case after I get through with it," re torted judge Caverly.

He pointed out that the defense had specifically announced from the beginning and repeated today their determination not to plead insanity as a legal defense, and added: Would Refuse Evidence "I will not admit such evidence if they offer it." The court, however, allowed the, state to present Us argument without limitation and they continued throughout the day. At the end of the proceedings they were still in progress Mr. Crowe said they wou Id extend Into tomorrow.
