W :uuuila Journal VOL. XXVI. NO. 134 DAVIS WILL URGE z ffITLMHWE VOICE IN INDUSTRY Democratic Nominee Views Workmen’s Councils as 1 Aid to Employers LOCUST VAI.LEY, N. Y., Aug. 17 In his Labor day speech, John M. Davis very likely will give a full exposition of his views, first stated v in his acceptance address, that de mocracy in government and de £ -•'tnocracj' in industry alike demand . the free recognition of the right of ♦ * all of those who work, in whatever rank or place, to share in all deci sions that affect their welfare. p On behalf of the Democratic presi- dential candidate, it was stated to day that his conviction is that there can be no lasting settlement of in dustrial unrest until the workers , f have a share in the councils of in i' dustry and that labor's knowledge of its own needs gives it a right to a voice in-all matters of government that directly or peculiarly affect ' this right. ’ With labor having a voice in the management of industry, Mr. Davis believes ther e will be removed the in cause for industrial disputes because there will be full opportunity for the workers to have knowledge of exact conditions respecting the . adequacy of wages and other matters which usually form the basis of dis agreement. Favors Stock Sharing j The Democratic nominee also is I represented as holding to the view that the plan of stock distribution to the workers pow in operation in gome lines of industry should be given wide application as one that has and will prove helpful alike to labor and to industry. With respect to representation in government circles. Mr. Davis be a lieves that these agencies dealing ' with labor should be given into the charge of men who have had prac tical experience and who thus would bring to their task an intimate knowledge both of the problem and questions demanding solution and of * conditions as they exist in practice rather than in theory. The Democratic nominee remained at his home here today marshalling material for Ijis forthcoming ad dresses. He spent the entire morn ing in his study and made sub stantial progress on the speech he t / is to deliver at Columbus, 0., on August 26. To Speak in East Before going to the west, Mr. Davis will deliver two addresses in F the east, both at Sea Girt, N. J., next Friday, it was stated today at his headquarters. The first will be before the state Democratic commit tee and the second at an open air meeting. 9 . The place for the delivery of the | Labor day address still is underter mined. While some of his advisors have urged that he make at least one speech between August 26 and i September I, it is not at all certain [ that he will do. so as, personally, he ! does not believe in. too great an ex penditure of effort and ammunition in the early stages of the campaign. Besides working on his addresses, Mr. Davis conferred today with Sen ator Copeland, of New York, who volunteered his services in the cam paign, and played a round of golf with George Gardner, a former law * > partner. IMPORTANT CONI ERENCES AT WESTERN HEADQUARTERS CHICAGO, Aug. 17.—Western Democratic headquarters was the ' scene of several conferences among party leaders Saturday with Clem L. Shaver, chairman of the Democratic • national committee, busy with or ganization plans. Mr. Shaver, who here tomorrow night for Lln- * coin, Neb., for the Bryan notifica- Ztion ceremonies, conferred with George W. Brennan, Democratic na tional committeeman from Illinois. * Mr. Brennan took the national chairman to Mayor William E. Dever's office for a brief meeting. Mr. Shaver announced afterward that the meeting was purely a social one and that politics was not dis cussed. While in Lincoln Mr. Shaver will confer with Governor Bryan regard ing his campaign plans, which now are understood to be only in tenta / tive torin. How far the vice presi f dential nominee will go on his sueikim tour could not be learned officially Saturday. It was intimated, however, by those close to party leaders tl.at he would probably con- I fine a majority of his tours to the middle west. It is understood that John W. Davis will come to Chicago for sev er'd days’ conference with party 4 leaders soon after his address in Co'ambus. Ohio, August 26. It is 1 expected that he will speak in this Jr city during his western tour in Sei - F te.’-iber. ORGANIZATION IN EAST HITTING FULL STRIDE NEW YORK.

DEMOCRATIC HOPES PINNED TO WORK OF SMITH IN CAMPAIGN New York Governor Consid ered Davis’ Biggest Asset in Winning East BY DAVID LAWRENCE I (Special Leased Wire to The Journal— Copy right. 1924.) j WASHINGTON. Aug. 16. Al i though a number of Democratic lead ’ ers believe the greatest opportunity for John W. Davis lies in a fifty-fifty .split of the Republican vote of the west between La Follette and Cool idge not a few chieftians are insist ing that Governor Al Smith is De mocracy's real Moses and that upon his decision the whole course of the Democratic campaign in the east will turn. Al Smith, It would seem, has it in his power to be the innocent means of injuring the Davis candidacy .or helping it. Just now the most inter esting discussions are going on which indicate conclusively that Join W. Davis himself is deeply concerned over the trend of Gover nor Smith’s mind. To understand the situation, with its many sides it must be remember ed that the close friends of Al Smith have not given up hope of ultimately landing him in the White House. While the governor himself will ren der loyal support, he can not control all of his followers. Some of them, he thinks, might vote for him and cut Davis on the mistaken assump tion that in this way they could demonstrate the truth of their pre convention boast that Al Smith could carry New York even in a presi dential year. The governor has said to close friends that if he ran for re-election he might not be helping Davis to poll the normal Democratic vote. He argued that possibly he would do more good by stumping other states like New Jersey, Con necticut. Massachusetts and Rhode Island where he is admittedly popu lar, and would draw enormous crowds whereas if he ran for governor of New York all his time would have to be devoted to speech-making in the Empire state itself. Smith’s Own Ambitions This viewpoint has been misrepre sented as it has percolated througn Democratic channels into a story that the real purpose of the gover nor’s advisors in dissuading him from running is a selfish one and that they really want him to spend his time on the stump not in the east but in the west in preparation for the 1928 campaign. This the ory is predicated on the motion thar Al Smith needs to establish contacts in the west, that Davis will not be victorious anyhow and that to help Davis carry the east by running for governor of New York and carrying , Davis along might by chance bring Davis into the White House, in which case he would be the logical candidate to succeed himself in 1928 and there would be no chance for Al Smith to win presidential honors. This correspondent came back from Clarksburg, W. Va., on the same train with several Tammany leaders and discussed the guberna torial situation with them. They gave the sincere impression that while anxious indeed for the triumpa of John Davis because he has on more than one occasion shown a dis tinct friendliness to organizatioi. men in politics, their chief concern after all is the local Democratic ticket. They—meaning Tammany— want to win. No vote getter like Al Smith has appeared in a genera tion in New York politics. So while they know of Al Smith’s disinclina tion to run again, they feel he would insure the victory of the state and local tickets and they prefer him to make the race. If it helps 1 the national ticket well and good; if it doesn't, at least the local can-’ ■ didale will have been swept into ; power. Air hough nobody has the right to speak for John Davis authoritative ly. except himself, some of the Deni i ocrats who have discussed the New i York situation with him are confi j dent he wants Al Smith to run for governor again. No statement to that effect will come from Mr. Davis because if Smith is going to run he will do so not as an adjunct to the national ticket with a half-heartened interest in his own race, but in response to the demand of the people of New York for another administration of their affairs at Albany. The last time he ran he did not disclose his inten tion too early in the race. May Not Go West Should Al Smith fail to become the Democratic nominee for gover nor of New York, it may be serious ly doubted whether h.'s stump speak ing will be in the west. Al Smith is known as a “wet” and the Demo cratic managers would be taking a big chance to send any pronounce 1 “wets” to the dry west to tell the people of the arid belt how to vote. In the east, however, where to be a “wet” in politics is considered no great hardship, but, on the contrary, in the larger cities is a great asset, the New York governor would le helping Davis by giving him en thusiastic support. Nor would there be any question of sincerity involved because Al Smith had the delegat'-m*.- from the big eastern states at last month's convention and could have them again if he runs in 1928. The strength of William Gibbs! McAdoo was in the west. According to letters received here from Eu-! rope. Mr. McAdoo plans to make speeches for John Davis in the west, endeavoring to hold the radical Dem ocrats to Davis and Bryan standard. With Smith pulling hard in the east and McAdoo in the west, the Demo-i erats hope to ’-«ep their lines steady ; against the Im Follette invasion «o I that the Wisconsin independent max J cither most of his votes from the Republican party. For the on* • of the election j depends almost entirely vn how' many Republican votes La F-”-*t‘e | can take -—from whr : might under other circumstances have: been expected to have been a so’id i R —niiean vote for Coolidge. If a? takes 50 per cent everywhere and i Democrats hold their own. the | pluralities of 1912 might be repeated. But will La Follette get 50 per cent of the Republican vote? The Re- ■ publican managers insist he will not. and they deny him the prospect of a. much as 20 per cent outside hi® ovxn strongholds in a few state*. ALIENIST'S OPINION UNDER HEAVY FIFE AT FRANKS HEARING Loeb and Leopold Defense Claims Gains During Day’s Battle CHICAGO, Aug. 16.—(8y the As sociated Press.) —Testimony of Dr. IH. Douglas Singer, fourth alienist i : for the prosecution, that Richard ; Loeb and Nathan Leopold, Jr., were i entirely normal when they kidnaped | and killed 14-year-old Robert Franks i last May 21, w?.s subjected today! to the expert vivisection of the vig . orously alert Clarence S. Darrow, I chief counsel for the defense. | The hearing to determine whether ; Judge John R. Caverly shall inflict ( the death penalty on the youths on ; their plea of guilty, or shall Impose penitentiary sentences upon the plea for mitigation of punishment I was enlivened by frequent clashes I of Mr. Darrow with the witness, and | again with Robert E. Crowe, state’s ; attorney. At adjournment, the defense: claimed these were net gains: Admission by Dr. Singer that he ' had reached conclusions by observa tion, and not examination; that a split personality, described by de fense alienists as existing in both i beys, “might be evidence towards a mental-disorder;” that the present ' ages of both Loeb and Leopold is the critical time for developing “mental sickness,” and that a dream life might influence personality. Sticks to “Normal” Opinion Dr. Singer did not deviate from his general declaration that he had found no evidence in his observa- . tions nor .n the testimony of de fense experts to sway him from his | conclusions that there was “no evi-l dence to indicate a diseased mind in ‘ either youth,” and that they had; displayed normal emotions and that : their phantasy lives contained noth i ing abnormal. The other leg of the triangular: plea of the defense —functional dis-; orders of the endocrine gland sys-; terns —was not touched upo-r today, j Mr. Darrow was gratified by get- j ting into the record a statement by | James Quinlan, of Joliet, at one j time an official of the state peni tentiary, but now a lawyer, that 340 persons had pleaded guilty tc murder in Illinois in the last ten years, and that only one of them, Thomas Fitzgerald, a man nearlv forty years old, had been hanged. Mr. Darrow’s point was to bring out that no youths of the ages of Leopold and Loeb had paid the su preme penalty upon pleas of guilty, and that Mr. Crowe, who had termed the Franks case a “perfect hanging? case,” sentenced Fitzgerald. Once during today’s short session I Mr. Crowe charged that the defense! was trying to cheat the law. Mr.; Darrow countered by accusing Mr.i Crowe of having held Loeb and Leo-' pold illegally while he forced con-1 sessions from them. At another! point the two argued heatedly when ! Mr. Crowe referred to the youths as “criminals.” Alienist Holds His Own “You are not trying to fool me.; are you, doctor?” presaged one of: Mr. Darrow's tilts with the witness, j and “you are not trying to avoid us, are you?” heralded another. The doctor, retaining his calm under the inquisition by Mr. Darrow, each time shot back invitations to try! and find out. “What other names do they use for ‘split personality?’ ” asked Mr Darrow. “Phantasies, delusions, illusions, mannerisms, etc; they are all evi dences of a split personality,” re- [ plied Dr. Singer. The "schizophrenic person” was a i newcomer in the hearing. He was introduced by Dr. Singer in a hook I i m which he had sought to define more definitely persons with split personalities, Mr. Darrow reading extensively from the work. It was in that connection that the dsfense counsel obtained the ad mission from Dr. Singer that schizophrenia, the inclination ot parts of the personality to split off, is me.re likely to develop into insan ity in intelligent persons of the ap proximate ages of Loeb and Leopold th in in others. ill Return' to Stand Cross-examination of Dr. Singer was unfinished when the hearing was adjourned until 10:30 a. m., Monday. It was indicated the de fense would end its questioning by Monday n:on. There is only one re maining witness, Dr. W. O. Krohn, of Chicago, a veteran .expert witness :n murder trials and regarded as the! prosecution s “ace.” Attorneys esti mated that a day and a half would j suffice for hearing his testimony. , permitting arguments in the hearing; to be stalled possibly Wednesday; morning. Loeb and Leopold found much ; cause for merriment in the heated exchanges between counsel and wit-i ness today and their faces frequent ly were wreathed in smiles, not I changing even when Mr. Crowe! spoke openly of the death penalty. I At other times they whispered to each other, or addressed low voiced remarks to their attorneys. Negro Shot to Death On Savannah Streets By Pursuing Policeman SAVANNAH, Ga..

PEA CE IN EUROPE DR A WS S TEP NEARER AS ALLIED AND GERMAN DELEGA TES SIGN PROTOCOL ON THE DAWES PLAN Gist of New Peace Agreement Evolved at Dawes Plan Parley LONDON, Aug. 17. (By the Associated Press) —The agreements concluded last night by the London conference take the form of a final protocol with four annexes. The final protocol is a brief document in French and English. It is signed by Ram sey MacDonald, as president, by Secretary General Sir Maurice Hankey, the allied secretaries, the German secretary and a representative of the reparations commis sion The American secretary does not sign. The protocol states that the president informed the representatives of the powers and of the reparations commission as sembled at the foreign office that all the governments concerned and the repara tions commission have confirmed their ac ceptance of the Dawes plan and that by means of the conference certain agree ments annexed to the protocol have been signed or initiated by the parties con cerned. These agreements are mutually inde pendent and cannot be varied, except that the dates will be advanced, as the original dates presupposed that the first steps would be taken on August 15. The parties concerned will meet later in London to attach formal signatures to the documents which have not been signed, and a certified copy of the agreements as concluded be tween the allies will be communicated to Germany. 1 of the protocol is the agreement of August *J between the reparations com mission and Germany, whereby Germany agrees to take necessary measures to pro mulgate and enforce the laws required to carry out the Dawes plan in the form ap proved by the reparations commission, especially relating to the bank of issue, the railway and industrial debentures and to apply certain provisions regarding con trol of the revenues assigned as security for the annuities. The reparations commission undertakes to do its best to carry out the Dawes plan, particularly in the way of facilita ting a loan, and both the reparations com mission and Germany agree to help to carry out any additional agreements, in cluding arrangements for modifying the Dawes plan. If there is a disagreement on the interpretation of the provisions, the dispute shall be submitted to arbitration. Three of the annexes, to the protocol embody agreements which the conference reached for dealing with sanctions to be applied by the allies to Germany in the event of her possible default. Under the Dawes plan, restoration of Germany’s economic unity and the setting up of a transfer committee to receive and distri bute reparations in kind from Germany The reparations commission, augmented by an American member, is to supervise in the first instance the operation of the Dawes plan. In case of Germany’s de fault the reparation commission may take the allies’ recommendation as to the action PRICE OF CORN JUMPS 4 CENTS ON CROP NEWS CHICAGO, Aug. 17.—Almost panicky advances in the corn ; market today xxent to such a I point that prices were up nine teen to twenty cents a bushel above values current at one time last week. Fear that a large portion of the corn crop will fail to mature before kill ing frosts arrive was the accept ed general explanation. Even in war time, few paral lels are found for Saturday’s tu multous action of corn values or for the excitement which per vaded all the grain pits on the exchange. The net result when the gongs cleared out the per spiring crowds of brokers was a meximum net gain of 4 1-4 cents a bushel for corn, 3 1-2 cents for wheat and 1 7-8 for oats above Friday’s closing prices. Interest in corn dwarfed every thing else, so far as nine-tenths of grain traders gave any sign, the agreement at London with Germany evoking hardly more than a hurried glance or word, while every line about the corn crop received the most eager at iention. One of the circurn s tances which brought out the sharpest comment was the ap parent capacity of the market to absorb huge profit-taking sales. Whether the limit in this respect had been reached was widely discussed after the close, and with much difference of opinion. It was generally con ceded that up to this time the absence of speculative selling in a market so active as of late was nearly without a precedent.

I The district attorney sent three alienists into McCoy’s cell to ex j amine him mentally and physically. The former prize ring idol wil ! lingly bared his body to the trio, ! but his mind and his heart remained (covered under the seal of silence, .put on his lips by his attorneys. McCoy's legal advisers also an ! nounced that they were preparing Ito tread the tortuous trial of psy ! chiatric testimony with reports of I alienists of their own choosing. ; Prior to today’s lull in the develop ■ ment of contradictory phases of the i case, the police revealed late last i night that they had found a woman , j i Silver Dollar Circulation i To Save Money for People WASHINGTON, Aug. 17—Pre-', I dieting that an annual saving of I ( $1,000,000 would result from their . ] use, the treasury department an-; i nounced tonight that between forty; and fifty million silver dollars soon • are to be unloaded on the public. Approximately fifty million silver I dollars are in circulation now. In announcing the proposed clr-j , < ulation, Under Secretary of the’ Treasury Garrad B. Winston de- ! ! dared the increased use of silver • dollars would permit the treasury to | ! maintain its paper circulation in bet.

Any decision by the repara tion commission regarding defaults not taken by unanimous vote may be appeal ed to the arbitral commission. The members of this arbitral commis sion and the American member of the reparation commission shall be selected by unanimous vote of the reparation com mission and, in default of this, by the president of t,he world court at The Hague. In the the allies have to apply sanc tions to Germany they will safeguard the specific securities pledged to the service of the £40,000,000 loan to Germany. Serv ice of this loan is to have absolute priority as regards any money of Germany so far as such money have been subjected to the general charge in favor of the loan and also as regards any resources that may arise through the imposition of sanctions. The preliminary agreement for the re storation of German economic unity is confirmed in the terms already published. Germany must fulfill the stipulated obli gations in launching the Dawes plan and the allies must restore German adminis trative, civil and economic control throughout the Ruhr in accordance with a time table to be enforced progressively as Germany fulfills Per part. The entire program for the restoration of Germany’s fiscal and economic unity is to be com pleted by October 5, next. In its handling of reparations in kind by the transfer committee, Germany recog nizes the right of the transfer committee to use its funds to pay for deliveries of certain products even after fulfillment of the Versailles treaty obligations, and agrees that such products need not be con fined to those specified in the treaty, due regard being had to Germany’s own re quirements. Germany further agrees to facilitate these deliveries under ordinary commercial conditions. The allies agree to prevent re-exporta tion of these deliveries. Deliveries are to be fixed by a program drawn up by the reparation commission in consultation with the transfer committee. If there is a dis oute as to the program either within the reparation commission or between the reparation commission and Germany, an arbitral commission of three independent persons shall lay down the program for defined periods, and such commission shall also determine upon the complaint of an allied government whether there has been wilfull discrimination or obstruction by the German government. An elaborate scheme is outlined for the arbitration of the different kinds of dis putes that may arise in consequence of the work of the transfer committee. All arbitral boards not chosen unanimously by the reparation commission shall be nominated by the president of the world court. ! who heard Mrs. Mors’ last words and the shot that cut her down, as I well as the footsteps of two men, not one, running from the apart ment where the body afterwards I was found.

Peace between France and Germany came one step nearer last night when representa tives of the allied powers and Ger many assembled in Premier Mac- Donald’s room in the foreign office and signed or initialled a protocol providing the means for putting into effect the Dawes plan, designed to settle the perplexing reparations problem. The London conference, after 30 trying days, thus has been brought to a. successful conclusion. All eyes now turn to Berlin and Paris, anx iously watching to see if the Ger man reichstag and the French, par- . ; liament will support Chancellor , Marx and Premier Herriot in the ' bold step they have taken. Both these premiers belong to mi | nority governments, which are none too stable, and the reaction of the , German and French peoples xvill be watched with some apprehension un- i til their executive bodies approve and make it possible for German and French representatives to meet with the representatives of other interest:- | ed powers at Paris on August 30, and attach their formal signatures to the documents. Strictly Informal Premier MacDonald, as president of the conference, presided at to- = night’s meeting, which was attended by about 200 delegates and experts from the various powers. The ses sion was strictly informal, and lack ed spectacular features, as the en tire conference has. It was a busi ness meeting in a business office, and more like a directors’ conference than a diplomatic function. The British prime minister and Premiers i Herriot and Thenunis Chancellor Marx, Ambassador Kellogg, Baron Hayashi, Japan, and Professor de- Stefani, Italy, all made brief ad dresses expressing their satisfaction over the successful conclusion of I the conference. M. Herriot said: “We see the dawn, and hope soon to see daylight." Chancellor Marx thanked Premier MacDonald especially for “the hu man understanding” with which he had dealt with the delicate prob lems. ■ ! : Ambassador Kellogg expressed the opinion that the delegates were all of the mind that the Dawes plan was “the greatest piece of construc tive work of modern times, and added that he desired to'extend his sincer* congratulations to General Dawes. Ruhr Strains Relations The German, French and Belgian delegates and Premier Macdonald had been through such a strain in the last 48 hours in enforcing a set | tlement of the French and German l differences about the Ruhr evacua ! tion which were blocking the entire conference that they rushed from the ! foreign office in great relief imme diately upon signature. Mr. Mac- ’ , donald started at once for Scotland, many of the French and Belgian of ficials took the nlgnt boats home ward and the .Germans are leaving for Berlin early tomorrow to take up their battle, with the reichstag for ratification of the protocol. Neither the Germans nor th* French were fully satisfied with the compromise agreement on the Ruhr evaucuation, but both delegations scored many points which they be lieve will appeal to their publics and ease the way in obtaining ratifica tion. The specific promise of the French to evacuate the Ruhr absolutely within one year from August 15 and to evacuate Dortmund immediate)*,, are great prizes for the German dele gates. although they had hoped that the period would be narrowed to six month®. Premier MacDonald won the admiration of all the delegates by the fearless and dashing manner in which he handled the tangled Ruhr situation, speaking with equal fianknf 's to both M. Herriot and • hanceilor Marx aftd doing much to keep wartime animosities down. The French and German delegates had many long conversat.ons during glie conference concerning their fu»re tariff arrangement and at times thia commercial feature threatened to be a serious handicap to the Ruhr set tlement. But they finally agreed lo ninct October 1 in Paris tn begin negotiations for a commercial treaty. (Continued on Page 2, Column 41
