NO. 131 GERMANY ACCEPTS ALL ALLIED TERMS OF WAR DEBT PLAN Agreement on Dawes Pro posal Unconditional—Ruhr Evacuation Planned LONDON, Aug. 11.—(By the Asso ciated Press.) —The allied and Ger man experts attached to the interna tional reparation conference, have reached a full agreement Qn the Dawes program, it is announced. They remained in session until o’clock this morning to arrive at an understanding on reparations pay ment in kind on which the Germans held out until the results of Premier IHerriot’s Paris' mission became known. Names lor the post of permanent agent general to carry the Dawes plan into effect are being discussed in conference circles since the an nouncement that the French will agree to the evacuation of th e Ruhr on conditions which it seems likely the Germans will accept. James A. Logan, American representative on the reparation commission; Dwight F. Morrow, of J. P. Morgan & Co., and Paul D. Cr.ivath are mentioned frequently. Owen D. Young of the Dawes com mittee, seems to be generally re garded in conference circles as the ideal man to initiate the Dawes plan, but his announcement that he would only consider taking the post tempo rarily makes the selection of his suc cessor necessary at an early date. This morning the “Big Fourteen,’ the allied . and German delegation leaders, met for an hour and a half at No. 10 Downing street and heard M. Herriot’s report of his Paris trip. They then briefly considered the one remaining problem within the pur view of the conference proper—that of the allied rai’waymen remaining on the German lines. This issue is so closely connected with that of the evacuation of the Ruhr, that both seem likely to be settled at the same time, although the Ruhr issue will be kept outside the conference. The French premier’s return with his cabinet’s full approval of his Ruhr evacuation policy put new life and nope into the delegates, and British observers believe the confer encse will end by Thursday. During the morning the allied dele gqmea also met with the Germans who approved the conclusions of the second committee which has been studying the problem of the econom ic evacuation of the Ruhr. Prime Minister MacDonald accept ed a suggestion made by M. Herriot that the allied delegates,, some time before the end of the conference, ex change views with the German dele gates on the resumption of military control of Germany, in order to give France assurances regarding her se curity. M. Herriot declared that the de cisions taken in Paris at the cabinet meeting concerning the evqcuation of the Ruhr had shown the peaceful spirit of France, and had brought immediate results. He said the con ference now was assured of success. LEAGUE OF NATIONS TO CHECK GERMANY: PARTS. x Aug. 11. —(By the Asso ciated Press.) —That the problem of France’s security will be solved by a League of Nation’s plan to keep check on German disarmament is generally inferred from a conference held by Prime l ' Herriot with Paul Boncoui socialist deputy and presi-1 dent of tYe subcommittee of the high er committee of national defense charged with studying the plan in question Confidence is expressed that tne plan will be adopted by the League of Nations assembly at Geneva in September. Premier Herriot declared, accoid ! in< to Le Matin, that he would sup port the plan in person before the assembly. Premie' Herriot, of France, and Foreign Minister Stresemann. of ■Germany, conferred late this after ■Mn on the question of the evacua ■nn of the Ruhr, their conversation (Following the conference in principal French and Belgian delegates.

Published Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday WIFE REFUSED TO MAKE HOME IN OKLAHOMA, SO ROME MAN KILLS HER AND THEN HIMSELF “God Have Mercy On My Soul,” Says Note —Father Is Requested to “Throw My Body in * ‘ - the River” ROME. Ga., Aug. 10.—Jealousy and the refusal of his wife, to go with him to Oklahoma, are said to have been the causes of a murder and suicide here Saturday as the result Paul Harwell fatally shot his wife and immediately committed suicide by shooting himself, through the head with the same revolver. A note found on the floor of the room ijy which the tragedy occurred and believed to have been written by Har well, but unsigned, said “Oh, God, have mercy on my soul. I have tried to Ave right. Please have mercy or. me.” Mr. and Mrs. Harwell came to Rome about a month ago to visit the latter’s aunt, Mrs. E. F. Bedford, before going to Oklahoma to live. Harwell had sold a battery and ga tage business at Summerville and planned to go in business in Okla homa, it was said, but his wife had refused to go with him because of threats against her life that he is said to have made. The man was said to have been extremely jealous of his wife. They are survived by a four-year-old son. Mrs. Bedford, in whose home the OLD MOBY FIBE INOUIBYIS ORDERED; ORIGIN A MYSTERY NASHVILLE, Tenn., Auer 11 Origin of the fire whicn destroyed buildings, m’achinery and 45 /million pounds of smokeless powder at the Old Hickory powder plant at Jack sonville, Tenn., near here Sunday, had not been determined today, ac cording to Major Oscar Krupp, army ordnance officer in charge of the government property there. A thorough investigation into the cause of the fire will be conducted under orders from the war depart ment issued today, but in the ab sence of receipt of formal orders from the department, Major-Krupp could not state when the investiga tion would begin. From the offices of a local in surance agency, which carried pol icies on the Old Hickory plane amounting to $12,000,000, came the statement that it would be several days before the amount of loss could be determined and separated as to the amount of the government’s risk and that at the risk of the insur ance companies. While the govern ment was responsible for the build ings used for the storage of powder, a number of those destroyed were at the risk of the Nashville Indus trial corporation and were fully in sured. State Fire Marshal Ed M. Gillen waters today sent a corps of deputies to Old Hickory to investigate the cause of the five and compile a re pent or. the loss. Powder, machinery and buildings valued at $28,000,000 war-time prices and at more than $2,000,000 at pres ent valuation, were destroyed when the fire swept clean a forty-acre tract in the heart of the plant. Several hundred thousand dollars’ worth of platinum is believed to be in the ashes of the government of fice building. Officials said that they expected to find the metal un harmed. Approximately 45,000,000 pounds of gunpowder, stored by the U. S. government as a war reserve, were consumed in the flames. The cost of manufacturing this powder during the war, according to Major Krupp, ordnance depart ment officer, was 50 cents a pound, making the total cost $22,500,000. The present market value of the powder is approximately one cent a pound, making the total value $45Q,000, Major Krupp said. There were* no dangerous explo sions and no’ one was known to have been injured. A government guard turned in the alarm at 5:30 Sunday morn ing and although the fire spent it self soon after noon, it was impos sible eafty Monday to approach the area, because of the intense heat. The fire is said to be the great est single loss the government has suffered since the war. The plant, constructed by the government dur ing the war for the manufacture of munitions, was the largest project of its kind ever attempted. The plans called for an expenditure of $85,000,000, and the plant was di vided into nine units each with a daily capacity of 100,000 pounds m powder. When the armistice was signed the plant had produced 35,900,000 pounds of powder and was 13,500.- 000 pounds ahead of contracts.

She was awakened by the revolver phot and rushed to the room with Mrs. Mary Blankenship, a, neighbor, who was in the house at the time.

LEOPOLD PAINTED ASDREAMVICTIM: DBIVEN INTO CRIME Diseased Endocrine Glands Blamed for Fantasy by Defense Alienist UH l« 'AGO, 10.—(By the Asso ciated Press.)—The defense Saturday neared the end of its plea before Judge John R. C.kverly for mitiga tion in the punishment of Nathan I. Leopold, Jr., and Richard A. Loeb, scions of millionaire families, for the kidnaping and murdering of young Robert Franks. The last of four eminent specialists through whom the defense has at tempted to prove the youths are “mentally sick” spent the entire two hour session of court on the witness stand today. He dissected Leopolds as he had that of Loeb yesterday. Leopold, he said, was f.t mentally to fall in with Loeb’s plan to “commit the perfect crime be cause of the mental state to which he had been reduced through physi cal deficiencies; failure of certain glands to function normally and a strange “king-slave” fantasy which had persisted from childhood. Having put Loeb's personality to vivisection yesterday, the mental pathologist. Dr. H. S. Hulbert, of Chicago, dealt almost solely with Leopold today. “The psychiatric cause for the Franks crime is not to be found in either boy alone, but in an interplay of their friendship,” he said. Kind by Nature, He Says Leopold was described as by na ture kind, and an almost unwilling partner in the murder of the four teen-year-old Franks boy. Only Leo pold’s obeisance necessary to his “dream king” kept him a partner even after his intellect told him com mission of a “perfect crime” was im possible, testified Dr. Hulbert. Leo pold wanted to postpone the kidnap ing and murder and go to Europe, added the psychiatric. Illustrating to Judge Caverly by use of large X-ray photographs of Leopold’s anatomy, Dr. Hulbert pointed out what he said were glan dular irregularities. He mentioned the pineal, pituitary, adrenal and thyroid glands. He described the functional irregularities as respon sible for Leopold’s admittedly far ad vanced intellect and the stilling of his emotional growth after the age of seven or eight years. Dr. Hulbert said that the X-ray disclosed that the cartilage between the plates of Leopold’s skull had become bone, unusual in one of nine teen years old, as the process gen erally develops after the age of thirty. The witness veered from his usual solemnity as he smilingly described certain black lines on Leopold’s skull as having been caused by “prepara tions used to keep his hair in or der.” The youths’ intimate association j was not always a pleasure to them, ■ asserted the witness, but he declared j “each boy felt inadequate to carry i on the life most desired unless some- I one else in life was found to com | plement him.” Early Windup Seen < “Leopold wantetd a superior for , a companion and Loeb wanted some ! one to emulate him,” said the doc ! tor as he analyzed the alliance that 1 led to the murder of Franks. I Dr, Hulbert still was on the stand j when the hearing was adjourned at | noon until 10:30 a. m. Monday. ; Clarence Darrow, chief of defense I counsel, stated after adjournment | that possibly four additional wit ; nesses would be called and the de ; sense rest its plea for mitigation of I punishment Monday afternoon. ! Allan and Jacob Loeb, brother and uncle, respectively, of Richard Loeb j and Foreman Leopold, brother of Nathan and the Loeb family chauf feur, would be the last defense wit i nesses, Mr. Darrow’ indicated. He I said thatVhey would be called upon j to identify certain exhibits and not to give extensive testimony. Thai , won Id prohibit extensive cross-exami ' nation as nothing not remarked | upon in direct examination can be ■ brought out by the state. Immediatetly upon the defense j resting, Robert E. Crowe, state’s • attorney, will launch a vigorous rebuHal in furthering his demand for tne death penalty for Loeb and Leopold. Former friends. university in i structors. servants in the Leopold ; and Loeb families, and prominent : women, some of whom were pupils lof Leopold jn his ornithological I class, are named on a list of fifty | prospective witnesses announced by : Air. < rowe as having been summon ed to testify that the youths are i sane and constitute normal actors ■in what he has called a "perfect hanging case." Leopold's "Best Girl” Called Rebuttal will require possibly font days, the prosecutor indicated. Pros pective time needed for the state was reduced today when Mr. Crowe agreed with Mr. Darrow not to call more than four alienists if the de- I sense would cut off expert testi mony with that of Dr. Hulbert. On the stage's rebuttal witness list appears the name of Miss Su san Lurie. University of Chicago [Student with Leopold, ahd said to have been the only girl for wlvcm ihe evei expressed any feeling. It was to Miss Lutie that Leopold i< alleged to have remarked before he was arrested for the Franks murder that it would be a good joke were I she to surrender him as the mur- I derer and claim the SII,OOO in re- I wards. The minds of those interested in the case, was as usually, burdened ; with t rank letters today. Judge • Caverly got letters from throughout | the country, the "vote" today being largely against the youths. Prosecutor Crowe received a small box containing eight marbles, each wrapped in tissue paper, and the whole carrying the note: "For the kiddies. Babe anti Dickie." Loeb and Leopold maintained their usual composure in the court room [today. Both smiled and greeted rel | atives as they were led in. m-l, i front time to time, as has been 1 their wont, found plenty of amuse ; ment in the proceedings.

COOEIDGE WINNING BIS POLITICAL FOES, MJNIGEB ASSERTS WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. Presir dent Coolidge devoted attention to Republican campaign plans at an other conference this afternoon with Chairman Butler, of the national committee, after the chairman an nounced organization of a national partisan iYovement for Coolidge and Dawes probably would be launched soon. i\Lr. Butler told the president the movement had been inspired by vol untary expressions of members of other parties of sympathy with the I candidacy of the president. “Reports to me,” Mr. Butler said, “are to the effect men and women are leaving their party fold to sup port our presidential ticket because of their appreciation of the sincerity and honesty of the Coolidge adminis tration. Some of them also have admitted a slight dissatisfaction with their own party leadership. In cer tain cases they have announced their intention also of voting for certain local Republican candidates, but this I is not general. Underneath all is ] the confidence in the president and | his judgment.” Despite another day of intense I heat, Mr. Coolidge was at his office: desk throughout the morning. Tentative plans have been made by the 'resident to leave here on his vacation to Plymouth, VI.. next j Friday night, the night, after the formal notification exercises. Under I this program he and Mis. Coolidge I would arrive at Plymouth the next I afternoon. The president is planning to make' the visit one of complete rest.

Under present I plans no party leaders will accom- ■ pany the president and the cam-I paigfi will be left, so far as Mr. i Coolidge is concerned, entirely in i the hands of the national commit- i tee and advisers. The president heard further re ports on the progress of the cam-, paign today fiom Senator Stanfield, of Oregon, and Representative Chindblom. of Illinois.

The whole country—and for that 1 matter other countries, too —are singing the praises of their boys. For their sons are adding a new chapter to history. . Their boys are circling the globe, through the air, for Uncle Sam. And now they are coming home. Fully aware of the dangers their sons w’ould encounter, these mothers, like the Spartatn mothers of old, sent their boys away last March with smiles on their lips. But let these women speak for I themselves: "I wouldn't have stopped Lowell from flying around the world for anything.” says Mrs. Jasper G.

You, fourteen years ago, called me from the practice here I was en joying and made me that wanderer on the face of the earth. But I have never cut the ties of affection that bind me to Clarksburg, to West Vir ginia, and their citizens. Never, 6ven in thought or speech, has hom-s meant anything other than this spot. Welcomed at Birthplace i “Forgive me if I say no more. Out I of the fullness of the heart the mouth may wish to speak without finding words. But Mrs. Davis and myself x thank you for this welcome. "W® bow before you in gratitude and our hearts are very full.” Before his official reception here, Mr. Davis was welcomed informally at Grafton, the first stop of his train in West Virginia. Mounting a gage truck there, he expressed hie joy at being upon native soil again and his appreciation of the welcome extended to him and to Mrs. Davi®. This evening he made a 30-mile trip to Fairmont to greet his supporters | there who have stood loyally by him in all his political adventures. Speak ing at the home of Mr. Shaver, th® nominee declared that while he could not recall the first time he came to Fairmont that when iie came to count his friends the numbers did not decrease when he got over th® : Harrison county line. After he had recalled by name a number of West Virginians who had had a part in shaping his early po ! litical career, Mr. Davis apologized for dropping into reminiscences. “It is enough for me to say,” he declared, “how I rejoice to be with you again and how sincere is my gratitude for this evidence of »your friendship and good will. A heavy task has fallen to my lot. Yon will not be surprised that, when I looked about for aid in performing it, my mind turned first of all to West Vir ginia. I was not long in finding \ there the man I needed. I came to : Marion county and drafted your fel i low-townsman and my friend. Clem Shaver, as field marshal. We . it* West Virginia know his political wis dom and sagicity. We know, too, his loyalty, integrity and courage, and before long, the Democracy of the United States will join us in our high estimate of him as a citizen and as a man. Tbo«‘Liiif Streets “And. so. in the name of obi friendship, 1 offer you my gratitude for all that your support has meant to me in the days that are gone, an<l my thanks for this evidence that .win will not deny it to me in the days that are to come.” Reaching ’ksburg early in the day, Mt. Davis was greeted by hundreds at the railroad station z an<l thousands that lined thestreets leading to his home.

Mr. Davis’ car was sur rounded by a cheering crowd, qnd it was only with difficulty that it was able to mak” its way.
